**American Acquisition Opportunity Inc.** 

**12115 Visionary Way**

**Fishers, Indiana 46038** 

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF AMERICAN ACQUISITION OPPORTUNITY INC.:

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting (the "***special meeting***") of stockholders of American Acquisition Opportunity Inc. (the "***Company***," "***we***," "***us***" or "***our***"), to be held at 2:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on March __, 2023. The special meeting will be held virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/amao/ext2023. At the special meeting, the stockholders will consider and vote upon the following proposals:

1.  ***Proposal No. 1*** -  ***The Extension Amendment Proposal -*** To amend (the "  ***Extension Amendment***") the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our "  ***charter***") to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination (as defined below) from March __, 2023 to March 22, 2023 (the "  ***Extended Date*** ").

2.  ***Proposal No. 2*** -  ***The Trust Amendment Proposal*** - To amend (the "  ***Trust Amendment***" and together with the Extension Amendment, the  ***Extensions***") the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 17, 2021 and amended on March 21, 2022, by and between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the Company (the "  ***Trust Agreement***") to extend the liquidation date from March __, 2023 to the Extended Date.

6.  ***Proposal No. 3*** -  ***The Adjournment Proposal*** - To approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary, to permit the further solicitation of additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes present at the special meeting virtually or by proxy, or at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting, to approve and adopt the other proposals being considered at the special meeting.

Each of Proposals 1-2 is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Each of the proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which you are encouraged to read carefully. The Board of Directors has approved each of these Proposals and believes they are in the best interests of stockholders. **THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR" ALL OF THE PROPOSALS.** 

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "***Business Combination Agreement***") by and among the Company, Royalty Management Corporation, an Indiana corporation ("***RMC***") and Royalty Merger Sub Inc., an Indiana corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("***Merger Sub***"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Company and RMC will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into RMC, with RMC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "***Business Combination***").

The Board of Directors of the Company (the "***Board***") has approved each of these Proposals to help facilitate the completion of the Business Combination. Stockholders will have the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination Agreement at a later date. Under the Company's charter, an initial business combination must be completed by March 22, 2023. The purpose of the Extensions is to provide the Company more time to complete the Business Combination, which the Board believes is in the best interests of our stockholders.

The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to allow the Company to adjourn the special meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that more time is necessary to effectuate the Extension.

In connection with Proposals 1 and 2, if approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares (the "***Election***").

If Proposals 1-2 are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares that do not make the Election will retain the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in conjunction with the consummation of a Business Combination. In addition, public stockholders who vote for Proposals 1-3 and do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed a Business Combination by the Extended Date.

The Company estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the trust account will be approximately $_____ at the time of the special meeting. The closing price of the Company's common stock on ____________, 2023, was $______. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company's common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Proposals are not approved by March __, 2023, as contemplated by our charter, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

The affirmative vote of 65% of the Company's outstanding common stock will be required to approve each of Proposals 1-2. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least the majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the special meeting, voting as a single class. Our sponsor, directors and executive officers own 2,726,500 shares of common stock and have agreed with the Company to vote those shares in favor of each of the Proposals.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on ____________, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company's stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. As of the record date, there are _______ outstanding shares of common stock, our only class of voting securities outstanding. A complete list of stockholders of record entitled to vote at the special meeting will be available for ten days before the special meeting at the Company's principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the special meeting. Only holders of record of the Company's common stock on the record date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment thereof.

**You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination at this time.** 

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the proposals are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote "FOR" the proposals.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the proposals and the special meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, the Company urges you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

I look forward to seeing you at the special meeting.

**PROXY STATEMENT** 

**SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS**

American Acquisition Opportunity Inc., (the "**Company,**" "**Vickers,**" "**we,**" "**us**" or "**our**"), a Delaware corporation, is providing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation by the Company's Board of Directors of proxies to be voted at the Special Meeting of Stockholders to be held 2:00 p.m. ET on March __, 2023. The Special Meeting will be held virtually, via webcast, at https://www.cstproxy.com/amao/ext2023

The Special Meeting will be held for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

1.  ***Proposal No. 1*** -  ***The Extension Amendment Proposal -*** To amend (the "  ***Extension Amendment***") the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (our "  ***charter***") to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination (as defined below) from March __, 2023 to March 22, 2023 (the "  ***Extended Date*** ").

2.  ***Proposal No. 2*** -  ***The Trust Amendment Proposal*** - To amend (the "  ***Trust Amendment***" and together with the Extension Amendment, the  ***Extensions***") the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 17, 2021 and amended on March 21, 2022, by and between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and the Company (the "  ***Trust Agreement***") to extend the liquidation date from March __, 2023 to the Extended Date.

**Background**

The Company completed its initial public offering ("IPO") on March 22, 2021. The Company's IPO prospectus and charter initially provided that the Company had until March 22, 2022 (12 months after the consummation of the IPO) to complete a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination, involving the Company and one or more businesses (a "***Business Combination***"). On March 21, 2022, stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the Company's charter to extend the period of time in which to complete a Business Combination to September 30, 2022 and on September 30, 2022, stockholders of the Company approved a further amendment to extend the period of time in which to complete an initial business combination to March 22, 2023. In connection with these extensions, stockholders of the Company holding ______ shares elected to redeem their shares leaving ______ public shares outstanding.

On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "***Business Combination Agreement***") by and among the Company, Royalty Management Corporation, an Indiana corporation ("***RMC***") and Royalty Merger Sub Inc., an Indiana corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("***Merger Sub***"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between the Company and RMC will be effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into RMC, with RMC surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "***Business Combination***").

The Board of Directors of the Company (the "***Board***") currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before March __, 2023, to complete a Business Combination. As such, the purpose of Proposals 1 and 2 are to provide for an extension of the time period to complete the Business Combination, which the Board believes is in the best interests of our stockholders.

**Redemption Rights**

In accordance with the charter, stockholders of the Company are entitled to exercise redemption rights in connection with Proposal 1. If Proposal 1 is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in conjunction with a later vote regarding the approval of the Business Combination. In addition, public stockholders who vote for Proposals 1 and 2 and do not seek to have their shares redeemed would still be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed a Business Combination by the Extended Date.

The Company estimates that the per-share price at which public shares may be redeemed from cash held in the trust account will be approximately $_____ at the time of the special meeting. The closing price of the Company's common stock on __________, 2023, was $_____. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company's common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Proposals are not approved by March __, 2023, as contemplated by our charter, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

**Voting Rights; Vote Required**

Our Board has fixed the close of business on ____________, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company's stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the special meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company's common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the special meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The affirmative vote of 65% of the Company's outstanding common stock will be required to approve each of Proposals 1 and 2.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least the majority of the votes cast by the stockholders present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter at the special meeting, voting as a single class.

The Sponsor, officers, and directors have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their shares of common stock, including those included in our units issued to such initial stockholders, acquired directly from the Company and warrants issued to the Sponsor. As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $_____ per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $_____ per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "***Securities Act***"). However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and believe that our Sponsor's only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, there is no assurance that our Sponsor will be able to satisfy its obligations. The per-share liquidation price for the public shares is anticipated to be approximately $_____ (based on the amount expected to be in trust at the time of the special meeting). Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the trust account, if the Company liquidates, will not be less than $_____, plus interest, due to unforeseen claims of potential creditors.

Under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "***DGCL***"), stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

However, because the Company will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires the Company to adopt a plan, based on facts known to the Company at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against the Company within the subsequent ten years. However, because the Company is a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers, investment bankers, etc.) or prospective target businesses.

If Proposals 1 and 2 are approved, such approval will constitute consent for the Company to (i) remove from the trust account an amount (the "***Withdrawal Amount***") equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the trust account and be available for use by the Company to complete a Business Combination on or before the Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on any Business Combination through the Extended Date if the Extensions are approved.

This proxy statement contains important information about the special meeting and the proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.

**FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS** 

The statements contained in this proxy statement that are not purely historical are "forward-looking statements." Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team's expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. The words "anticipate," "believe," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intends," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements in this proxy statement may include, without limitation, statements about:

· our ability to complete a Business Combination;

· the anticipated benefits of a Business Combination;

· our executive officers and directors allocating their time to other businesses and potentially having conflicts of interest with our business or in approving a Business Combination, as a result of which they would then receive expense reimbursements or other benefits;

· our potential ability to obtain additional financing, if needed, to complete a Business Combination;

· our public securities' potential liquidity and trading;

· the use of proceeds not held in the trust account (as described herein) or available to us from interest income on the trust account balance; and

· our financial performance.

The forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement are based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

In March 2021, the Company consummated its IPO from which it derived net proceeds of approximately $106,000,000. Like most blank check companies, our charter provided for the return of the IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in the IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before a certain date. In our case, such date was initially set at March 22, 2022. In March 2022, stockholders approved an amendment to the charter extending the deadline to September 30, 2022 and in September 2022, stockholders approved a further amendment to the charter to extend the deadline to March 22, 2023. In connection with the approval of this extension, 8,943,317 of the outstanding public shares exercised redemption rights.

While the Company has entered into the Business Combination Agreement with RMC, our Board believes that the Business Combination will not be completed by March __, 2023. The Company is therefore seeking a further extension of the deadline to ___________, 2023. The Board also believes that certain other amendments to the charter are necessary to ensure that the Business Combination is completed.

***What is being voted on?***

You are being asked to vote on the following proposals:

1. To amend our charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination from March __, 2023 to __________, 2023.

2. To amend the Trust Agreement to extend the liquidation date from March __, 2023 to __________, 2023.

3. To approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary, to permit the further solicitation of additional proxies in the event there are not sufficient votes present at the special meeting virtually or by proxy, or at any adjournment or postponement of that meeting, to approve any of Proposals 1-2.

***What is the purpose of the Proposals?***

The purpose of the Proposals is to provide the Company with sufficient time to complete the Business Combination and to facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination. **Stockholders are not being asked to approve the Business Combination at this time.** The Company intends to hold another stockholders meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination. Each of the Proposals 1-2 is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other.

If the Extensions are implemented, such approval will constitute consent for the Company to remove the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account, deliver to the holders of redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount and retain the remainder of the funds in the trust account for the Company's use in connection with consummating a Business Combination on or before the Extended Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account following the Election. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Extensions are approved and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a fraction of the approximately $_______ (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) that was in the trust account as of __________, 2023, which could impact the Company's ability to consummate a Business Combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved by March __, 2023, as contemplated by our charter, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

The Sponsor and the initial stockholders have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their shares of common stock, including those included in our units issued to such initial stockholders, acquired directly from the Company (but not including shares acquired in the open market) (the "***Private Shares***"). As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account.

***Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment and Trust Amendment Proposals (Proposals 1 and2)?***

The Company's charter and the Trust Agreement, as amended to date, provide for the return of the IPO proceeds held in trust to the holders of shares of common stock sold in the IPO if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before March 22, 2023. While the Company entered into the Business Combination Agreement on June 28, 2022, our Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before March 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination. The purpose of the Extensions is to provide the Company with sufficient time to complete the Business Combination, which our Board believes is in the best interests of our stockholders.

***Why should I vote for the Proposals?***

Our Board believes stockholders will benefit from the Company consummating the Business Combination and is proposing the charter amendments to extend the date by which the Company must complete the Business Combination until the Extended Date and to facilitate its completion.

Our Board recommends that you vote in favor of each of the Proposal but expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your public shares.

***How do the Company insiders intend to vote their shares?***

All of the Company's directors and their respective affiliates are expected to vote any common stock over which they have voting control (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of all proposals. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company's sponsor, directors and officers own 2,726,500 shares representing 63% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock entitled to vote at the special meeting.

***Does the Board recommend voting for the approval of the proposals?***

Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the proposals, the Board has determined that all proposals are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote "**FOR**" each of Proposals 1-3.

***What vote is required to adopt each of the Proposals?***

Approval of each of Proposals 1-2 will require the affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the Company's outstanding common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, on the record date. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Company's common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter at the annual meeting. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

***Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the trust account?***

Other than the Extensions until the Extended Date as described in this proxy statement, the Company does not anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate a Business Combination.

***What happens if the Proposals are not approved?***

If either of Proposals 1-2 is not approved by March 22, 2023, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

***If Proposals 1-2 are approved, what happens next?***

If Proposals 1-2 are approved, the Company will continue to attempt to consummate the Business Combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("***Exchange Act***") and its units, common stock and public warrants will remain publicly traded until the Extended Date.

Upon approval of the Proposals, the Company will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form of <u>Annex A</u> hereto. The Company will also execute an amendment to Trust Agreement in the form of <u>Annex B</u> hereto.

If the Proposals are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account will reduce the amount remaining in the trust account and increase the percentage interest of the Company's common stock held by our initial stockholders through the Private Shares.

***Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in connection with a vote on the Business Combination?***

If both of Proposals 1-2 are approved, unless you elect to redeem your shares, you will be able to vote on the Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders. If you disagree with the Business Combination, you will retain your right to vote against it and/or redeem your public shares upon consummation of the Business Combination in connection with the stockholder vote to approve such Business Combination.

***What happens if I sell my common stock or units before the special meeting?***

The ____________, 2023 record date is earlier than the date of the special meeting. If you transfer your public shares, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, after the record date, but before the special meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you will retain your right to vote at the special meeting. If you transfer your common stock prior to the record date, you will have no right to vote those shares at the special meeting.

***How do I attend the special meeting, and will I be able to ask questions?***

The special meeting will be conducted virtually over the Internet. As a stockholder you will need your Control Number to join the meeting. You can obtain your Control Number from the Notice of the special meeting or the proxy card you received from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company's transfer agent. If you hold your position through a bank or broker and would like to join the meeting you will need to contact Continental Stock Transfer at 917-262-2373, or www.proxy@continentalstock.com to obtain a control number. Any stockholder may attend, listen and vote during the virtual meeting. You will also be able to ask questions during that part of the meeting by clicking on the chat box and enter a question.

***How do I vote?***

If you are a holder of record of Company common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, you may vote virtually at the special meeting or by submitting a proxy for the special meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting, the Company urges you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. You may still attend the special meeting and vote virtually if you have already voted by proxy.

If your shares of Company common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, are held in "street name" by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the special meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares virtually at the special meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

***How do I change my vote?***

If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card prior to the date of the special meeting or by voting virtually at the special meeting. Attendance at the special meeting alone will not change your vote. You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company at 12115 Visionary Way, Fishers, Indiana 46038, Attn: Chief Executive Officer.

***How are votes counted?***

Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the special meeting, who will separately count "FOR" and "AGAINST" votes, abstentions and broker non-votes for the proposals.

***If my shares are held in "street name," will my broker automatically vote them for me?***

Under the rules governing banks and brokers who submit a proxy card with respect to shares held in street name, such banks and brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. All proposals are non-routine or "non-discretionary" items.

Your broker can vote your shares with respect to "non-discretionary items" only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares. Your broker can tell you how to provide these instructions. If you do not give your broker instructions, your shares will be treated as broker non-votes with respect to the proposals, which are non-routine or "non-discretionary" proposals.

***What is a quorum requirement?***

A quorum of stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present if at least a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock on the record date, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, are represented virtually or by proxy at the special meeting.

Your shares will be counted towards the quorum only if you submit a valid proxy (or one is submitted on your behalf by your broker, bank or other nominee) or if you vote virtually at the special meeting. Abstentions (but not broker non-votes) will be counted towards the quorum requirement. If there is no quorum, the presiding officer of the special meeting may adjourn the special meeting to another date.

***Who can vote at the special meeting?***

Only holders of record of the Company's common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, at the close of business on ____________, 2023, are entitled to have their vote counted at the special meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. On this record date, _______ shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote.

*Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name*. If on the record date your shares or units were registered directly in your name with the Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote virtually at the special meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the special meeting virtually, the Company urges you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

*Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank*. If on the record date your shares or units were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the special meeting virtually. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares virtually at the special meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

***What interests do the Company's directors and executive officers have in the approval of the proposals?***

The Company's directors and executive officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include ownership by them or their affiliates of Private Shares and warrants that may become exercisable in the future, loans by them that will not be repaid in the event of our winding up and the possibility of future compensatory arrangements and ownership interests in the target of our Business Combination. See the section entitled "The Extension Amendment - Interests of the Company's Directors and Officers."

***Do I have appraisal rights?***

Stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Extensions under the DGCL.

***What happens to the Company's warrants if the Proposals are not approved?***

If the Proposals are not approved by March 22, 2023, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

***What happens to the Company warrants if the Proposals are approved?***

If the Proposals are approved, the Company will continue its efforts to consummate the Business Combination until the Extended Date. The warrants will remain outstanding in accordance with their terms.

***How do I redeem my shares of Company common stock?***

If the Proposals are implemented, each public stockholder may seek to redeem all or a portion of his public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. You will also be able to redeem your public shares in connection with any stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination, or if the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by the Extended Date.

To demand redemption, you must ensure your bank or broker complies with the requirements identified herein, including submitting a written request that your shares be redeemed for cash to the transfer agent and delivering your shares to the transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. EST on March __, 2023. You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment and Election.

***If I am a public unit holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my units?***

No. Holders of outstanding public units must separate the underlying public shares and Public Warrants (as defined below) prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the public shares.

If you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, with written instructions to separate such units into public shares and Public Warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights upon the separation of the public shares from the units. See "How do I redeem my shares of Company common stock?" above.

***What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?***

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

***Who is paying for this proxy solicitation?***

The Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. The Company has also retained Alliance Advisors, LLC, a proxy solicitation firm, for assistance in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the special meeting. Any customary fees of Alliance Advisors, LLC will be paid by the Company. The Company estimates that its proxy solicitor fees will be approximately $_________ plus reasonable out of pocket expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

***Where do I find the voting results of the special meeting?***

We will announce preliminary voting results at the special meeting. The final voting results will be tallied by the inspector of election and published in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company is required to file with the SEC within four business days following the special meeting.

***Is the Company or its Sponsor a "foreign person" under the regulations relating to CFIUS?***

We do not believe that either we or our sponsor constitute a "foreign person" under CFIUS rules and regulations. However, if CFIUS considers us to be a "foreign person" and believes that the business of an initial business combination target may affect national security, we could be subject to foreign ownership restrictions and/or CFIUS review. If a potential business combination falls within the scope of applicable foreign ownership restrictions, we may be unable to consummate an initial business combination. In addition, if a potential initial business combination falls within CFIUS's jurisdiction, we may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with an initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination.

Although we do not believe we or the sponsor are a "foreign person", CFIUS may take a different view and decide to block or delay a potential initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to a potential initial business combination, order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the potential combined company if we had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, or impose penalties if CFIUS believes that the mandatory notification requirement applied. Additionally, the laws and regulations of other U.S. government entities may impose review or approval procedures on account of any potential foreign ownership by the sponsor. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited due to such regulatory restrictions. Moreover, the process of any government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete an initial business combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $10.10 per share, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a potential initial business combination and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

**THE COMPANY**

We are a blank check company organized on January 20, 2021 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company was formed for the purpose consummating a Business Combination.

On March 22, 2021, we consummated our IPO of 10,000,000 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the "***Units***"), generating gross proceeds of $100,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A common stock and one-half of one redeemable warrant ("***Public Warrant***"). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 3,800,000 warrants (the "***Private Warrants***"). On March 30, 2021, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option, and the closing and sale of an additional 506,002 Units (the "***Over-Allotment Units***") occurred on April 1, 2021. The issuance by the Company of the Over-Allotments Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit resulted in total gross proceeds of $5,060,020. On April 1, 2021, simultaneously with the sale and issuance of the Over-Allotment Units, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 101,621 Private Warrants (the "***Over-Allotment Private Placement Warrants***" and, together with the Private Warrants, the "***Private Placements***", generating gross proceeds of $101,621. The Over-Allotment Private Placement Warrants were issued pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as the transaction did not involve a public offering.

The Company initially had 12 months or until March 22, 2022 to complete an initial business combination. On March 21, 2022, stockholders of the Company approved an amendment to the charter to extend that deadline to September 22, 2023. On September 22, 2022, stockholders of the Company approved an additional amendment to the charter to extend the deadline to March 22, 2023. In connection with this meeting, ________ shares or approximately 85% of the outstanding public shares redeemed their shares at a per share price of $_____. As of December 31, 2022, there were _______ public shares outstanding and 2,726,500 private shares.

As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $15,811,165 (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) in the trust account.

The mailing address of our principal executive office is 12115 Visionary Way, Fishers, Indiana 46038, and its telephone number is (317) 855-9926.

**Votes Required** 

Approval of each of Proposals 1-2 will require the affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the Company's common stock outstanding on the record date. If you do not vote (i.e., you "abstain" from voting on the proposal), your action will have the same effect as an "**AGAINST**" vote. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as "**AGAINST**" votes.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Company's common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter at the annual meeting. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

**Voting** 

You can vote your shares at the special meeting by proxy or virtually.

If you wish to vote by proxy, you must (i) complete the enclosed proxy card and mail it in the envelope provided, or (ii) submit your proxy by telephone or over the Internet (if those options are available to you) in accordance with the instructions on the enclosed proxy card or voting instruction card. Alternatively, you can vote your shares virtually by attending the special meeting. You will be given a ballot at the special meeting.

If your shares or units are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, please follow the instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares. You will not be able to vote at the special meeting unless you obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of your shares. Stockholders who hold their shares in "street name," must obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote their shares at the special meeting.

**Revocability of Proxies** 

Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the special meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with the Company at 12115 Visionary Way, Fishers, Indiana 46038, either a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy or a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares or by attending the special meeting and voting virtually.

Simply attending the special meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

**Attendance at the Special Meeting** 

Only holders of common stock, their proxy holders and guests the Company may invite may attend the special meeting. If you wish to attend the special meeting virtually but you hold your shares or units through someone else, such as a broker, please follow the instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares. You must bring a legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee holding your shares, confirming your beneficial ownership of the shares and giving you the right to vote your shares.

**Solicitation of Proxies** 

The Company will pay for the entire cost of soliciting proxies. The Company has agreed to pay the proxy solicitor a fee of approximately $______ plus reasonable out of pocket expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners.

**PROPOSAL NO. 1 - THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL**

**The Extension Amendment** 

The Company is proposing to amend its charter to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination to the Extended Date. The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to the overall implementation of the board of directors' plan to allow the Company more time to complete the Business Combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Extensions. A copy of the proposed amendment to the charter of the Company to effectuate the Extension is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Annex A</u>.

All holders of the Company's public shares, whether they vote for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal or do not vote at all, will be permitted to redeem all or a portion of their public shares into their pro rata portion of the trust account, provided that the Extensions are implemented. Holders of public shares do not need to be a holder of record on the record date in order to exercise redemption rights.

**Reasons for the Proposal** 

The Company's IPO prospectus and charter originally provides that the Company had until March 22, 2022 (12 months after the consummation of the IPO) to complete a Business Combination. In March 2022, stockholders approved an extension of this deadline to September 22, 2022 and on September 22, 2022, stockholders approved an additional extension of this deadline to March 22, 2023. On June 28, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement for the Business Combination. The Company believes there will not be sufficient time before March __, 2023 to allow the Company to consummate the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the time for closing a Business Combination beyond March __, 2023 to the Extended Date.

***If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved***

If the Extension Amendment is not approved by March __, 2023, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Corporation to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to their Private Shares. As a consequence of such waivers, any liquidating distribution that is made will be only with respect to the public shares. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless if the Company winds up. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the trust account.

If the Extension Amendment is not approved, the trust account will be liquidated as described above.

***If the Extension Amendment is Approved***

The Company has cross-conditioned each of Proposals 1-2 on the remainder meaning all must be approved for any to be implemented. If each of Proposals 1-2 are approved, the Company will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form of <u>Annex A</u> hereto to extend the time it must complete a Business Combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act, and its units, common stock, and public warrants will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate the Business Combination by the Extended Date.

**You are not being asked to vote on any Business Combination at this time. If the Extensions are implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares in connection with the Extensions, you will retain the right to vote on a future Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash from the trust account in the event such future Business Combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by the Extended Date.**

| *[**Table of Contents**](#toc)* |

---

If each of the Proposals is approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the trust account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the trust account. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the trust account if the Extension Amendment proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the trust account may be only a fraction of the amount that was in the trust account as of June 30, 2022. However, the Company will not proceed with the Extensions if the other Proposals are not approved. In such instance, the Company will proceed to liquidation and stockholders would receive their pro rata share upon liquidation.

**Redemption Rights** 

If the Proposals are approved, public stockholders may elect to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. If the Proposals are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain the opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in conjunction with the consummation of a Business Combination, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter, as amended. In addition, public stockholders who vote for the Extension Amendment and do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed the a Business Combination by the Extended Date.

**TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED HEREIN, INCLUDING SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST THAT YOUR SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EST ON MARCH __, 2023. YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE CASH IN CONNECTION WITH A REDEMPTION OF THESE SHARES IF YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD THEM UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT AND ELECTION.**

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based on the amount in the trust account as of December 31, 2022, this would amount to approximately $_____ per share. The closing price of the common stock on ____________, 2023, the most recent closing price, was $______.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares of the Company's common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your stock certificate(s) to the Company's transfer agent prior to the vote on the Extension Amendment. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Amendment.

**Required Vote** 

The affirmative vote by holders of 65% of the Company's outstanding common stock is required to approve the Extension Amendment. If each of Proposals 1-2 is not approved, the Extension Amendment will not be implemented. Each of Proposals 1-2 is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

All of the Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any common stock owned by them in favor of the Extension Amendment.

**Recommendation** 

As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

**Our Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the Extension Amendment Proposal. Our Board expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your public shares.**

**PROPOSAL NO. 2 - THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL**

**The Trust Amendment** 

In connection with the IPO, approximately $106,000,000 was placed in the trust account governed by the Trust Agreement upon completion of the IPO. The Trust Agreement initially provided that if a Business Combination has not been consummated, upon the date which is 12 months after the closing of the IPO, or March 22, 2022, the trust account was to be liquidated and its proceeds are to be distributed to the Company's public stockholders of record as of such date, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses). The Trust Agreement further provides that the provision described in the preceding sentence may not be modified, amended or deleted without the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock, voting together as a single class. On March 21, 2022 stockholders of the Company approve an amendment to the Trust Agreement extending this date to September 22, 2022 and on September 22, 2022, stockholders approved a further extension to March 22, 2023.

The Company's board of directors has determined that there is not sufficient time before March 22, 2023 to hold a special meeting to obtain stockholder approval of and consummate a Business Combination. Accordingly, the Company's board of directors believes that in order to successfully complete the Business Combination, it is appropriate to obtain the Extensions.

The Company is proposing to amend the Trust Agreement to extend the liquidation date from March 22, 2023 to the Extended Date.

The purpose of the Trust Amendment is to amend the Trust Agreement to extend the liquidation of the trust account to match the Extended Date if the Extension Amendment is approved. The Trust Amendment is necessary in conjunction with the Extension Amendment because, otherwise the Trust Agreement would terminate and the result would be the same as if the Extension Amendment was not approved.

Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal is a condition to the approval of all other Proposals.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement charter is attached to this proxy statement as <u>Annex B</u>.

**Required Vote**

Approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the Company's outstanding common stock, including those shares held as a constituent part of our units, on the record date. Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote "**AGAINST**" this proposal.

All of the Company's directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any common stock owned by them in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

**Recommendation**

Our Board has determined that the Trust Amendment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

**Our Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the Trust Amendment Proposal.**

**PROPOSAL NO. 3 - THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL**

If there are insufficient votes at the time of the special meeting to approve any of Proposals 1-2, the Company intends to propose to adjourn the special meeting for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies in favor of the Proposals. The Company does not intend to propose adjournment at the special meeting if there are sufficient votes to approve Proposals 1-2.

**Required Vote**

Approving the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Company's common stock present virtually or represented by proxy at the special meeting and entitled to vote on the matter at the annual meeting. Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote "**AGAINST**" the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, while broker non-votes, if any, and shares not in attendance at the special meeting will have no effect on the outcome of any vote to adjourn the special meeting.

**Recommendation** 

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Adjournment Proposal.

**Our Board recommends that you vote "FOR" the Adjournment Proposal.**

**INTERESTS OF THE COMPANY'S DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS**

When you consider the recommendation of our Board with respect to each of Proposals 1-2, you should keep in mind that the Company's executive officers and directors, and their affiliates, have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

· If the Proposals are not approved by March 22, 2023, in accordance with our charter, the Private Shares and the Private Warrants held by our sponsor and executive officers and directors, which were acquired directly from the Company, will be worthless;

· Certain of our directors and officers also have ownership interests in RMC, the target in our Business Combination and if these Proposals are not approved, the Business Combination will not occur.

· All rights specified in the Company's charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company, and of the Company's executive officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after any Business Combination. If a Business Combination is not approved and the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions;

· Our Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the trust account to below the lesser of (i) $_____ per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the trust account as of the date of the liquidation of the trust account, if less than $_____ per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the trust account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act; and

· The Company's executive officers and directors, and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on the Company's behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and Business Combinations. However, if the Company fails to obtain the Extensions, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, the Company will most likely not be able to reimburse these expenses if a Business Combination is not completed.

**STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS TO BE PRESENTED AT THE NEXT ANNUAL MEETING**

For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the stockholders at our 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, it must be submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act. Such proposals must have been received by the Company at its offices at 12115 Visionary Way, Fishers, Indiana 46038 no later than November 1, 2022.

You may propose director candidates for consideration by the Board's Nominating, Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee. Any such recommendations should include the nominee's name and qualifications for board of directors membership, information regarding the candidate as would be required to be included in a proxy statement filed pursuant to SEC regulations, and a written indication by the recommended candidate of her or his willingness to serve. Such proposals must be received by the Company within the time period described above for proposals under Rule 14a-8.

If the Extensions are not approved and the Company fails to complete a qualifying business combination on or before March 22, 2023, there will be no annual meeting in 2023.
