**Anzu Provides Additional Information in Connection with Special Meeting of Stockholders**

The management of Anzu Special Acquisition Corp I ("Anzu") is grateful for the continued inbound interest in the potential business combination (the "Proposed Business Combination") referenced in Anzu's definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on January 20, 2023 (the "Extension Proxy Statement") for a special meeting of stockholders (the "Stockholder Meeting") to be held to vote on the proposal to amend Anzu's amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the "Charter") to extend the date by which Anzu has to consummate an initial business combination from March 4, 2023 to September 30, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by Anzu's board of directors (the "Extension Amendment Proposal").

As noted in the Extension Proxy Statement:

"Anzu has entered into a letter of intent regarding a business combination with a US-based medical device company that has developed and is in early clinical testing of an implanted device that already received "Breakthrough Device Designation" from the Food and Drug Administration. Anzu currently expects to file definitive agreements in February 2023, execute the definitive documents shortly following the Stockholder Meeting and close in the first half of 2023. The letter of intent contains certain conditions to the closing of the business combination, including but not limited to Anzu having more than $40.0 million in the Trust Account (as defined below) immediately prior to any redemptions at the closing of the business combination. There can be no assurance Anzu will execute definitive agreements or close on the timeline currently expected or at all."

Attached hereto is an investor presentation which provides an overview of Envoy Medical Corporation ("Envoy"), the target of the Proposed Business Combination, and further assists stockholders in understanding the Proposed Business Combination. On January 30, 2023, Anzu and Envoy extended their mutual exclusivity to work towards the Proposed Business Combination until March 4, 2023. The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC has reserved the stock symbol of "COCH" (referring to Envoy's planned cochlear implant) for the prospective combined company.

Anzu management continues to work with stockholders, legal advisors, accounting advisors, and other stakeholders to complete the Extension Amendment Proposal and Proposed Business Combination.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This filing includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-Looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "estimate," "plan," "project," "forecast," "intend," "will," "expect," "anticipate," "believe," "seek," "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the Stockholder Meeting and the Proposed Business Combination. The forward-looking statements contained in this filing reflect Anzu's current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause its actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Anzu does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the failure of Anzu to obtain the requisite approvals for the Extension Amendment Proposal; the amount of redemptions by Anzu's public stockholders in connection with the Stockholder Meeting and the Proposed Business Combination; the inability of the parties to enter into a definitive agreement relating to a business combination on the timeline discussed herein or at all; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Proposed Business Combination or that the approval of stockholders is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination; and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in the Extension Proxy Statement, in Anzu's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022 and in other reports Anzu files with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or Anzu's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. While forward-looking statements reflect Anzu's good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Anzu disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this filing, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to Anzu.

This filing is dated February 6, 2023 and is being made available to stockholders on or about that date.

ENVOY MEDICAL \| 20 COMPANY & PRODUCT OVERVIEW Executive Summary Who Are We? Envoy Medical Corporation is a hearing health company focused on providing innovative technologies and solutions across the hearing loss spectrum. Our technologies are designed to shift the hearing industry paradigm and bring both providers and patients the fully implanted hearing devices they desire. Our products are designed to deliver: x Improved hearing x Improved quality of life x Reduction to healthcare costs over time x Dignity and independence Envoy Medical Corporation is dedicated to innovating and pushing hearing technology beyond the status quo to improve access, usability, compliance and ultimately quality of life. Acclaim® A fully implanted cochlear implant ("FICI"), granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA . The Acclaim represents a long - anticipated shift from partially implanted cochlear implants. The device leverages the natural anatomy of the ear rather than utilizing a microphone to capture sound. Sound vibrations enter through the ear and are processed into customized electronic signals. Envoy's stimulator sends these electrical signals to the cochlea and hearing nerve resulting in the sensation of sound. Esteem® The Esteem® is the first and only currently FDA - approved, fully - implanted active middle ear implant (AMEI) . The Envoy Sensor converts the vibrations into electrical signals that are sent to the implanted Esteem Sound Processor . The Esteem Sound Processor receives, adjusts and intensifies the signals . The Esteem Driver directly transfers these signals to the inner ear where the hair cells are stimulated, causing you to hear . ~ 1 , 000 Esteems have been installed . Shared sensor technology for both products. Esteem sensor has been implanted in patients for over fifteen years.

The requirements of being a public co mpany may divert management's attention, and the increases in legal, accounting and compliance expenses that will result from being a public company may be gr eater than anticipated. ▪ If we do not attract new customers and increase our customers' use of our products and services, our business will suffer. ▪ Our ability to recruit, retain, and develop qualified personnel is critical to our success and growth. ▪ If customer support services are not satisfactory, customers may not buy future products and our business and results of oper ati ons could suffer. ▪ We have been, are currently and may in the future be subject to litigation, which could be costly and time - consuming to defend. ▪ Our pricing decisions and pricing models may adversely affect our ability to attract new customers and retain existing custom ers . ▪ We may require additional capital, which may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockhol der s and might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all. ▪ The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth included in this presentation may prove to be inaccurate, and even if the market growth is as projected, the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all. ▪ The failure of our suppliers to deliver necessary materials and components that meet the specifications for our devices in a tim ely manner could cause delays, cancellations and damage to our reputation. ▪ We depend on sole source or limited source suppliers, as well as on our own production capabilities, for some of the key comp one nts and materials, which makes us susceptible to supply shortages and other supply chain disruptions and to price fluctuations that could adversely affect our business, pa rti cularly our ability to meet our customers' delivery requirements. ▪ We currently support existing Esteem patients. If we are unable to provide continuing support, we may be exposed to legal, fi nan cial, and/or business consequences. ▪ If we fail to recruit and retain key personnel, our Company's ability to maintain operations may suffer.

ENVOY MEDICAL \| 32 Risks Related to the Business Combination ▪ Events, changes or other circumstances, many of which are beyond the control of the Company and SPAC, could give rise to the ter mination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the Proposed Business Combination. ▪ The Proposed Business Combination may disrupt current plans and operations of the Company. ▪ If the Proposed Business Combination's benefits do not meet expectations of investor or securities analysts, the market price of the SPAC's securities, or following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the combined company's securities, may decline. ▪ The valuation ascribed to the combined company may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market fol low ing the Prosed Business Combination. If an active market for the combined company's securities develops and continues, the trading price of the combined company's secur iti es following the Proposed Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, which could contribute to the los s of all or part of your investment. ▪ Both the SPAC and the Company will incur significant transactions costs in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. ▪ The SPAC and the Company may not successfully or timely consummate the Proposed Business Combination, including the risk that an y required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expe cte d benefits of the Proposed Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of the SPAC is not obtained. ▪ The consummation of the Proposed Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions and if those conditions are not sa tis fied or waived, the Proposed Business Combination agreement may be terminated in accordance with its terms and the Proposed Business Combination may not be complet ed. ▪ Since the SPAC Sponsor has interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of th e S PAC public stockholders, a conflict of interest may exist in determining whether the Proposed Business Combination is appropriate as a business combination. Such interests inclu de that the SPAC Sponsor will lose its entire investment in the SPAC if a business combination is not completed. ▪ There is no guarantee that a stockholder's decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion for the trust account wi ll put the stockholder in a better future economic position. ▪ Legal proceedings in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or p rev ent the completion of the Proposed Business Combination. ▪ Following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the combined company will incur significant increased expens es and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operation. ▪ Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect the Company's or t he combined company's business, including the ability of the parties to consummate the Proposed Business Combination, and results of operation of the Company or the combin ed company.

ENVOY MEDICAL \| 33 Risks Related to the Business Combination ▪ The ability to successfully effect the Proposed Business Combination and the combined company's ability to successfully opera te the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the Company, all of whom we expect to stay with the combined company f oll owing the Proposed Business Combination. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operation and financial results of the combined company. ▪ The SPAC's ability to complete an initial business combination may be adversely affected by downturns in the financial market s o r in economic conditions, increases in oil prices, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing e ffe cts of the COVID - 19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine. ▪ The ability of SPAC stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of SPAC shares could deplete th e S PAC trust account prior to the Proposed Business Combination and thereby diminish the amount of working capital of the combined company. ▪ If SPAC is unable to complete the Proposed Business Combination with the Company or another business combination by March 4, 202 3 (or such later date as may be approved by SPAC stockholders), SPAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding pu blic shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining stockholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating.
