Exhibit 99.1
MDH Acquisition Corp. Clarifies Process
For
Exercising Redemption Rights Prior to Its Special
Meeting
New York, NY, December 23, 2022 — MDH
Acquisition Corp. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”)
today clarified the process by which stockholders (“Public Stockholders”) may exercise their redemption rights with
respect to their shares of Class A common stock (“Public Shares”) prior to the special meeting of stockholders of
the Company described definitive proxy statement first sent or given to stockholders of the Company on or about December 19, 2022
(the “Proxy Statement”). The special meeting is scheduled to be held on December 29, 2022, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time,
via live webcast at the following address https://www.cstproxy.com/mdhacquisitioncorp/2022.
Pursuant to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate
of Incorporation (the “Charter”), Public Stockholders may voluntarily request that the Company redeem all or a portion of
their Public Shares for cash in connection with the vote on the proposed amendment to the Charter to change the date by which the Company
must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete a businesses combination from February 4, 2023
to the later of (x) December 29, 2022, and (y) the date and time of the effectiveness of the Charter Amendment (the “Amended Termination
Time”) as more fully described in the Proxy Statement (the “Charter Amendment Proposal”), subject to the approval thereof.
If the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved and Public Stockholders wish for the redemption of their Public Shares to be effective prior
to December 31, 2022, the Company urges Public Stockholders to voluntarily request that the Company redeem their Public Shares prior to
the special meeting in connection with the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposal.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Charter
Amendment Proposal is approved, and because the Company will not be able to complete an initial Business Combination by the Amended Termination
Time, the Company will be obligated to redeem all remaining Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible after the Amended Termination
Time. As a result, Public Shares will be mandatorily redeemed for cash automatically, even if Public Stockholders do not voluntarily request
that the Company redeem their Public Shares for cash prior to the special meeting in connection with the vote on the Charter Amendment
Proposal. However, the Company cannot guaranty that such mandatory redemption will be effective prior December 31, 2022.
Public Stockholders may elect to voluntarily
redeem their Public Shares whether or not they are holders as of the record date and whether or not they vote “FOR” the
Charter Amendment Proposal.
In order to voluntarily exercise its redemption rights prior to the
special meeting in connection with the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposal, a Public Stockholder must, (i) (A) hold Public Shares,
or (B) if it holds Public Shares through units of the Company sold in the Company’s initial public offering, elect to separate its
units into the underlying Public Shares and warrants prior to exercising its redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares and (ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on December 28, 2022 (the day prior to the special meeting), (A) submit a written request to the Company’s
transfer agent that the Company redeem its Public Shares for cash and (B) deliver its stock to the Company’s transfer agent physically
or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The address of CST listed below. Any request for redemption
must include the identity of the beneficial owner making such request. Electronic delivery of Public Shares generally will be faster than
delivery of physical stock certificates.
A physical stock certificate will not be
needed if Public Shares are delivered to the Company’s transfer agent electronically. In order to obtain a physical stock
certificate, a Public Stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act
to facilitate the request. It is the Company’s understanding that Public Stockholders should generally allot at least one week
to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because the Company does not have any control over this process or
over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than one week to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer
than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, Public Stockholders who wish to voluntarily redeem their Public Shares may be
unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to voluntarily
redeem their Public Shares prior to the special meeting in connection with the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposal. Any demand
for voluntary redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests and
thereafter, with the Company’s consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Charter Amendment Proposal. If a Public
Stockholder delivers its Public Shares for voluntary redemption to the Company’s transfer agent and decides within the
required timeframe not to voluntarily exercise its redemption rights, it may request that the Company’s transfer agent return
the Public Shares (physically or electronically). A Public Stockholder may make such request by contacting the Company’s
transfer agent at the phone number or address listed below.
There are no redemption rights with respect to
the Company’s warrants.
Public Stockholders who intend to voluntarily seek redemption of their
Public Shares prior to the special meeting in connection with the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposal will need to send a letter demanding
redemption and deliver their Public Shares (either physically or electronically) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m.,
Eastern time, on the day prior to the Special Meeting. Public Stockholders who have questions regarding the certification of their position
or delivery of their Public Shares should contact:
