On June 15, 2023, Ault
Disruptive Technologies Corporation (the “Company”) held a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special
Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders approved two proposals amending the Company’s
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company
must complete a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business
combination involving the Company and one or more businesses (a “Business Combination”) from June 20, 2023 to September
20, 2023 (the “Termination Date”) and to allow the Company, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the
Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis up to five times by an additional one month each time after
September 20, 2023, upon the request by Ault Disruptive Technologies Company, LLC (the “Sponsor”), and approval by the Company’s board
of directors until February 20, 2024 or a total of up to eight months, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have
occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment”) and (ii) delete (a) the limitation that the Company shall not
consummate a Business Combination if it would cause the Company’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule
3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) (or any successor rule)) to be less
than $5,000,0001 following such redemptions and (b) the limitation that the Company shall not redeem public shares that would cause
the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions. (the “Redemption Limitation
Amendment”).
Holders
of 11,754,829 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), held of record as of May 15, 2023,
the record date for the Special Meeting, were present in person or by proxy at the meeting, representing approximately 81.77% of the voting
power of the Common Stock as of the record date for the Special Meeting, and constituting a quorum for the transaction of business.
The voting results for
the proposals were as follows:

Although the Adjournment Proposal
received sufficient votes to be approved, no motion to adjourn was made because the adjournment of the Special Meeting was determined
not to be necessary or appropriate.
In addition, on June 15, 2023,
the Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. A copy of the Charter Amendment is attached
hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
Additionally, in connection
with the implementation of the Extension Amendment, the Company’s public stockholders elected to redeem 11,353,225 shares of Common Stock
at a redemption price of approximately $10.61 per share (without giving effect to any interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes), for
an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $120,510,705.46 (the “Redemption”). After the satisfaction of the Redemption (without
giving effect to any interest that may be withdrawn to pay taxes), the balance in the trust account will be approximately $1,557,967.85.
Upon completion of the Redemption, 3,021,775 shares
of Common Stock will remain issued and outstanding, of which 2,875,000 shares are held by the Sponsor.
