1. The second subsection of the third paragraph on the first page of the Letter to Stockholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:
(ii) A proposal to amend (the "Trust Amendment Proposal") the Company's investment management trust agreement (the "Trust Agreement"), dated as of December 8, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the "Trustee"), as amended on March 13, 2023, September 8, 2023 and June 4, 2024, to provide the Company with the discretion to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account (the "Trust Account") established in connection with the IPO by six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Date by depositing into the trust account an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of common stock issued in the IPO (each, a "Public Share") that has not been redeemed (the "Extension Payment") for each one-month extension. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement (the "Trust Amendment") is attached hereto as Annex B; and
2. The second subsection of the first paragraph on the first page of the Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:

4. The eighth paragraph on page 2 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
After consultation with Soul Venture Partners LLC (the "Sponsor"), the Company's management team has reasons to believe that, if the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment proposals are approved, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees will, in connection with each one-month extension, contribute an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of Public Shares issued in the IPO (each, a "Public Share") that has not been redeemed by the public stockholders, to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a "Contribution") for the Company to deposit the funds into the Trust Account as the Extension Payment prior to the applicable deadlines. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment and Trust Amendment Proposal must be made prior to the Current Termination Date, while subsequent extension payments must be deposited into the trust account prior to the then existing termination date. The Contribution(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Sponsor or its affiliate if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account.
5. The first paragraph on page 11 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The proposed Charter Amendment would amend our existing Charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the "Extension") to June 13, 2025 (the date that is 42 months from the closing date of the IPO) (the termination date as so extended, the "Extended Termination Date"). Currently, the Company has until December 13, 2024 to complete its initial business combination. Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Charter Amendment, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination, our insiders or their affiliates or designees must deposit into the trust account an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the number of Public Shares issued in the IPO (each, a "Public Share") that has not been redeemed by the public stockholders. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal must be made prior to the Current Termination Date, while subsequent extension payments must be deposited into the trust account prior to the then existing termination date. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination. We intend to issue a press release announcing the deposit of funds promptly after such funds are deposited into the trust account.
6. The fifth paragraph on page 11 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The Company currently has until December 13, 2024 to complete its initial business combination. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to allow the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination by depositing into the trust account an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the Public Shares issued in the IPO (each, a "Public Share") that has not been redeemed by the public stockholders for each one-month extension.
7. The first paragraph on page 13 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The proposed Trust Amendment (the "Trust Amendment") would amend our existing Trust Agreement, allowing the Company to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from December 13, 2024 to June 13, 2025 by depositing into the trust account an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the Public Shares issued in the IPO (each, a "Public Share") that has not been redeemed by the public stockholders. The complete text of the proposed amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.
8. The fifth paragraph on page 13 of the Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
The Sponsor wants to pay an extension amount that is an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the Public Shares issued in the IPO (each, a "Public Share") that has not been redeemed by the public stockholders for each one-month extension. After consultation with the Sponsor, the Company's management team has reasons to believe that, if the Trust Amendment proposal is approved, the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees will, in connection with each one-month extension, contribute such extension amount to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a "Contribution") for the Company to deposit the funds into the Trust Account as the Extension Payment prior to the applicable deadlines. The first extension payment after the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal must be made prior to the Current Termination Date, while subsequent extension payments must be deposited into the trust

account prior to the then existing termination date. The Contribution(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Sponsor or its affiliates or designees if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. If the Trust Amendment proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest income, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders' rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Delaware laws to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account with respect to our warrants or rights which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.
9. The fourth paragraph on page Annex B-1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
WHEREAS, at a Stockholders Meeting of the Company held on [ ], 2024, the Company's stockholders approved a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to provide the Company with the discretion to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the Trust Account by six (6) times for an additional one (1) month each time from December 13, 2024 to June 13, 2025 by depositing into the trust account an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company issued in the IPO that has not been redeemed for each one-month extension in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination by December 13, 2024.
10. The first clause of the fifth paragraph on page Annex B-1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
1. Preamble. The fifth WHEREAS clause in the preamble of the Trust Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
"WHEREAS, if a Business Combination is not consummated within the 36-month period following the closing of the Offering, or up to 42 months if the Company extends the period of time by six one-month periods (each, an "Extension"), by depositing an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company issued in the IPO that has not been redeemed for each one-month extension no later than the monthly anniversary of the IPO (each, an "Applicable Deadline"), as applicable; and;"
11. The first paragraph on page Annex B-2 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, we hereby authorize you to deposit $____________ (which is an aggregate amount equal to $0.04 multiplied by the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company issued in the IPO that has not been redeemed), which will be wired to you, into the Trust Account investments upon receipt.
Proposal No. 2: Trust Amendment Proposal on the proxy card is hereby amended and restated as follows:
