**Item 7.01** **Regulation FD Disclosure.**

As previously announced, Welsbach Technology Metals Acquisition Corp. ("WTMA") entered into a merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") dated as of October 31, 2022 with WaveTech Group, Inc. ("WaveTech") and certain other parties. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, WaveTech will become a subsidiary of WTMA (such transaction, the "Business Combination").

Furnished as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of certain presentation materials, dated January 2023, that will be used by WTMA and WaveTech, in connection with the previously announced proposed Business Combination.

The information in this Item 7.01 and Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

**Additional Information and Where to Find It**

This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to a proposed transaction between WaveTech and WTMA. This Current Report on Form 8-K is not a proxy statement or solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the potential transaction and shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities of WaveTech, the combined company or WTMA, nor shall there be any sale of any such securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. WTMA has filed the Form S-4 with the SEC, which includes a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement of WTMA, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all WTMA shareholders. WTMA also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. **Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of WTMA are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.**

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by WTMA through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

**Participants in the Solicitation**

WTMA and its directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from WTMA's shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction. A list of the names of the directors and executive officers of WTMA and information regarding their interests in the business combination is set forth in WTMA's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the SEC on March 25, 2022. Additional information regarding the interests of such persons and other persons who may be deemed participants in the solicitation will be contained in the Form S-4 and the proxy statement/prospectus when available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K are "forward looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such "forward-looking statements" with respect to the proposed transaction between WaveTech and WTMA include statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction and the products and markets of WaveTech. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the transaction may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of WTMA's securities, (ii) the risk that the transaction may not be completed by WTMA's business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by WTMA, (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the transaction, including the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the shareholders of WTMA, the satisfaction of the minimum amount in the trust account following redemptions by WTMA's public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals, (iv) the lack of a third party valuation in determining whether or not to pursue the proposed transaction, (v) the inability to complete the PIPE investment, (vi) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement, (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transaction on WaveTech's business relationships, operating results, and business generally, (viii) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of WaveTech and potential difficulties in Company employee retention as a result of the transaction, (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against WaveTech or against WTMA related to the Merger Agreement or the proposed transaction, (x) the ability to maintain the listing of WTMA's securities on a national securities exchange, (xi) the price of WTMA's securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including changes in the competitive and regulated industries in which WTMA plans to operate or WaveTech operates, variations in operating performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting WTMA's or WaveTech's business, WaveTech's inability to implement its business plan or meet or exceed its financial projections and changes in the combined capital structure, (xii) changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and (xiii) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above, the proxy statement/prospectus and other documents filed or that may be filed by WTMA from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and WaveTech and WTMA assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither WaveTech nor WTMA gives any assurance that either WaveTech or WTMA, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
