Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on May 7, 2024, Battery Future Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A (File No: 001-41158) (“Proxy Statement”) for the purposes of calling an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders (the “Meeting”) to approve, among other proposals, an amendment to and restatement of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which it has to consummate an initial business combination from June 17, 2024 to June 17, 2025.

On May 17, 2024, the Company and Camel Bay LLC, a significant shareholder of the Company (the “Insider”) entered into non-redemption agreements (“Non-Redemption Agreements”) with several unaffiliated third-party shareholders of the Company in exchange for such shareholders agreeing to not redeem an aggregate of 650,000 Class A ordinary shares (“Non-Redeemed Shares”) at the Meeting. In exchange for the foregoing commitment to the Company to not redeem the Non-Redeemed Shares, the Insider has agreed to transfer to such shareholders, contemporaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, an aggregate 162,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (“Founder Shares”) held by the Insider for the first nine months of the extension period and an aggregate of 16,250 additional Founder Shares for each subsequent month needed during the extension period, provided that such shareholders do not exercise their redemption rights with respect to the Non-Redeemed Shares in connection with the Meeting and the extension is approved and effectuated. The Non-Redemption Agreements will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account established in connection with Company’s initial public offering following the Meeting.

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 17, 2024, the Company adjourned the Meeting from May 17, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. to May 21, 2024 at 3:30 p.m. to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its shareholders and effectuate redemption reversals and/or enter into additional Non-Redemption Agreements.

Forward Looking Statements

The information included herein may include, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company may include, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements regarding likelihood of the approval of Proposals, the number of Non-Redeemed Shares and number of Founder Shares to be transferred in consideration thereof, the amount of cash in the Company’s trust account or our preliminary estimated per-share redemption price, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document are forward-looking statements. When used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management team, identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, and actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, so undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, risks, and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the Proxy Statement, in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and in other reports filed by the Company with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

No Offer or Solicitation

This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The Company urges investors, shareholders and other interested persons to read the Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, because these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Proposals. Shareholders may obtain copies of the Proxy Statement, any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents containing important information about the Company, once such documents are filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to the Company’s proxy solicitor, ClearTrust, LLC, 16540 Pointe Village Dr., Ste 210, Lutz, Florida 33558, Email: inbox@cleartrusttransfer.com.
