Crixus BH3 Acquisition (BHAC) PRE 14APreliminary proxy

You are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (“BHAC”), which will be held on July   , 2024, at    a.m., Eastern Time, as a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned (the “Stockholder Meeting”).

You can participate in the virtual Stockholder Meeting, vote, and submit questions via live webcast by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/      . Please see “Questions and Answers about the Stockholder Meeting — How do I attend the virtual Stockholder Meeting?” in the accompanying proxy statement for more information. Even if you are planning on attending the Stockholder Meeting online, please promptly submit your proxy vote online, or, if you received a printed form of proxy in the mail, by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, so your shares will be represented at the Stockholder Meeting.

The accompanying notice of the Stockholder Meeting and proxy statement describe the business BHAC will conduct at the Stockholder Meeting and provide information about BHAC that you should consider when you vote your shares. As more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement, which is dated   , 2024, and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about that date, the Stockholder Meeting will be held for the purpose of considering and voting on the following proposals:

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension. In addition, BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) if BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Redemptions (as defined below). BHAC cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account following the Redemptions if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be significantly less than the approximately $    that was in the Trust Account as of     , 2024 (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes).

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2024 (the “Form 8-K”), BHAC, Focus Impact BH3 Newco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BHAC (“NewCo”), Focus Impact BH3 Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Focus Impact BH3 Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 2”) and XCF Global Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“XCF”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time) (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (a) BHAC will merge with and into Merger Sub 1 (the “NewCo Merger”), with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity of the NewCo Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo; and (b) immediately following the NewCo Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into XCF (the “Company Merger” and, together with the NewCo Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with XCF being the surviving corporation of the Company Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo. As a result of the Business Combination, NewCo will become a new publicly-traded company. For more information about the Business Combination, refer to the Form 8-K.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal is to allow BHAC additional time to complete the Business Combination. You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination at this time.

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that BHAC has until the Original Termination Date to complete its initial business combination. BHAC’s Board has determined that it is in the best interests of BHAC to seek an extension of the Original Termination Date and have BHAC’s stockholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal to allow for a period of additional time to consummate the Business Combination. Without the Charter Extension, BHAC believes that it may not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, BHAC would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate.

The purpose of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is to eliminate from the Certificate of Incorporation the Redemption Limitation in order to allow BHAC to redeem Public Shares, irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation. The Board believes it is in the best interests of BHAC and its stockholders for BHAC to be allowed to effect redemptions irrespective of the Redemption Limitation.

BHAC reserves the right at any time to cancel the Stockholder Meeting and not to submit to its stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal and implement the Charter Extension. In the event the Stockholder Meeting is cancelled, and the Business Combination is not consummated prior to the Original Termination Date, BHAC will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.

As contemplated by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of BHAC’s Class A Common Stock, issued as part of the units sold in BHAC’s initial public offering (the “Public Stock”), may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Stock (the “Redemptions”) in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established to hold a portion of the proceeds of BHAC’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the concurrent sale of private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), if the Charter Extension or the Redemption Limitation Amendment is implemented, regardless of how such public stockholders vote in regard to the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption

In the event that the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and we receive notice of redemptions of Public Stock approaching or in excess of the Redemption Limitation, we and/or the Sponsor may take action to increase our net tangible assets to avoid exceeding the Redemption Limitation, which may include, at our and our Sponsor’s option and in our and its sole discretion, any, several or all of the following actions: (a) attempting to secure waivers of certain of our significant liabilities and (b) entering into non-redemption agreements with certain of our significant stockholders. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Redemption Limitation is exceeded, either because we do not take action to increase our net tangible assets or because our attempt to do so is not successful, then we will not proceed with the Charter Extension and we will not redeem any Public Stock. In such case, Public Stock which a public stockholder elects to redeem but which are not redeemed shall be returned to such public stockholders or such public stockholders’ account and such public stockholder will retain the right to have their Public Stock redeemed for cash if BHAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Termination Date.

On     , 2024, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of the accompanying proxy statement, the redemption price per share was approximately $    , based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $     as of     , 2024 (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then outstanding Public Stock. The redemption price per share in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal will be calculated based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account two business days prior to the Stockholder Meeting. The closing price of the Public Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on     , 2024, was $    . If the closing price of the Public Stock was to remain the same until the date of the Stockholder Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public stockholder receiving approximately $    [more/less] per share than if the shares were sold in the open market (based on the current per share redemption price as of     , 2024). BHAC cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their Public Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is lower than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares. BHAC believes that such redemption right enables its public stockholders to determine whether or not to sustain their investments for an additional period if BHAC does not complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and a Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, BHAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Stock, 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 (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of BHAC’s remaining stockholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to BHAC’s obligations under the Delaware General Corporation Law 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 BHAC’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Stockholder Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put

The Board has fixed the close of business on     , 2024 as the date for determining BHAC’s stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Stockholder Meeting and any adjournment thereof (the “Record Date”). Only holders of record of Common Stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

BHAC believes that it is in the best interests of BHAC’s stockholders that BHAC obtain the Charter Extension and the Redemption Limitation Amendment. After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of BHAC and its stockholders, has declared it advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Stockholder Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Stockholder Meeting in person, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Stockholder Meeting but will not constitute votes cast at the Stockholder Meeting and therefore will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and no effect on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Stockholder Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO BHAC’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE INITIALLY SCHEDULED DATE OF THE STOCKHOLDER MEETING. IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE YOUR LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IN YOUR WRITTEN DEMAND. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER DELIVERING YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATE TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY DELIVERING YOUR SHARES ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of the stockholders of Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation (“BHAC”), will be held on July   , 2024, at    a.m., Eastern Time, as a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be postponed or adjourned (the “Stockholder Meeting”).

You can participate in the virtual Stockholder Meeting, vote, and submit questions via live webcast by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/      . Please see “Questions and Answers about the Stockholder Meeting — How do I attend the virtual Stockholder Meeting?” in the accompanying proxy statement for more information. Even if you are planning on attending the Stockholder Meeting online, please promptly submit your proxy vote online, or, if you received a printed form of proxy in the mail, by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, so your shares will be represented at the Stockholder Meeting.

You are cordially invited to attend the Stockholder Meeting that will be held for the purpose of considering and voting on (i) an extension amendment proposal to amend BHAC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which BHAC has to consummate a business combination (the “Charter Extension”) from July 31, 2024 (the “Original Termination Date”) to February 7, 2025 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow BHAC, without another stockholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to two times by an additional one month each time after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of BHAC’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Focus Impact BHAC Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until April 7, 2025, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”); a copy of the proposed amendment is set forth in Annex A to the accompanying proxy statement; (ii) a redemption limitation amendment proposal to amend the Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate from the Certificate of Incorporation the limitation that BHAC may not redeem Public Stock (as defined below) to the extent that such redemption would result in BHAC having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow BHAC to redeem Public Stock irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment,” and such proposal the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”); a copy of the proposed amendment is set forth in Annex B to the accompanying proxy statement and (iii) an adjournment proposal to adjourn the Stockholder Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, (a) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, there are insufficient shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) and shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”) in the capital of BHAC represented (either in person or by proxy) at the time of the Stockholder Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal or (ii) where BHAC’s Board has determined it is otherwise necessary (the “Adjournment Proposal”) (unless BHAC determines that it is not necessary to hold the Stockholder Meeting as described in the accompanying proxy statement), each as more fully described below in the accompanying proxy statement, which is dated     , 2024 and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about that date.

The proposals to be voted upon at the Stockholder Meeting are as follows:

The Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. Please take the time to read carefully each of the proposals in the accompanying proxy statement before you vote.

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension. In addition, BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) if BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Redemptions (as defined below). BHAC cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account (as defined below) following the Redemptions if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be significantly less than the approximately $     that was in the Trust Account as of     , 2024 (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes).

As previously disclosed in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 12, 2024 (the “Form 8-K”), BHAC, Focus Impact BH3 Newco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of BHAC (“NewCo”), Focus Impact BH3 Merger Sub I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Focus Impact BH3 Merger Sub II, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo (“Merger Sub 2”) and XCF Global Capital, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“XCF”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time) (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (a) BHAC will merge with and into Merger Sub 1 (the “NewCo Merger”), with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity of the NewCo Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo; and (b) immediately following the NewCo Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into XCF (the “Company Merger” and, together with the NewCo Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with XCF being the surviving corporation of the Company Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo. As a result of the Business Combination, NewCo will become a new publicly-traded company. For more information about the Business Combination, refer to the Form 8-K.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal is to allow BHAC additional time to complete the Business Combination. You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination at this time.

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that BHAC has until the Original Termination Date to complete its initial business combination. BHAC’s Board has determined that it is in the best interests of BHAC to seek an extension of the Original Termination Date and have BHAC’s stockholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal to allow for a period of additional time to consummate the Business Combination. Without the Charter Extension, BHAC believes that it may not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, BHAC would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate.

BHAC reserves the right at any time to cancel the Stockholder Meeting and not to submit to its stockholders the Extension Amendment Proposal and implement the Charter Extension. In the event the Stockholder Meeting is cancelled, and the Business Combination is not consummated prior to the Original Termination Date, BHAC will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation.

BHAC believes that it is in the best interests of BHAC’s stockholders that BHAC obtain the Charter Extension if needed. After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of BHAC and its stockholders, has declared it advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

As contemplated by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of BHAC’s Class A Common Stock, issued as part of the units sold in BHAC’s initial public offering (the “Public Stock”), may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Stock (the “Redemptions”) in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established to hold a portion of the proceeds of BHAC’s initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) and the concurrent sale of private placement warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), if the Charter Extension or the Redemption Limitation Amendment is implemented, regardless of how such public stockholders vote in regard to the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders (and not abandoned) and the Charter Extension or the Redemption Limitation Amendment is implemented, holders of Public Stock remaining after the Redemptions will retain their right to redeem their Public Stock for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account upon consummation of a business combination or if BHAC does not complete a business combination by the Charter Extension Date.

In the event that the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and we receive notice of redemptions of Public Stock approaching or in excess of the Redemption Limitation, we and/or the Sponsor may take action to increase our net tangible assets to avoid exceeding the Redemption Limitation, which may include, at our and our Sponsor’s option and in our and its sole discretion, any, several or all of the following actions: (a) attempting to secure waivers of certain of our significant liabilities and (b) entering into non-redemption agreements with certain of our significant stockholders. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Redemption Limitation is exceeded, either because we do not take action to increase our net tangible assets or because our attempt to do so is not successful, then we will not proceed with the Charter Extension and we will not redeem any Public Stock. In such case, Public Stock which a public stockholder elects to redeem but which are not redeemed shall be returned to such public stockholders or such public stockholders’ account and such public stockholder will retain the right to have their Public Stock redeemed for cash if BHAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Termination Date.

On     , 2024, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of the accompanying proxy statement, the redemption price per share was approximately $    , based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $     as of     , 2024 (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then outstanding Public Stock. The redemption price per share in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal will be calculated based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account two business days prior to the Stockholder Meeting. The closing price of the Public Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC on     , 2024, was $    . If the closing price of the Public Stock was to remain the same until the date of the Stockholder Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public stockholder receiving approximately $     [more/less] per share than if the shares were sold in the open market (based on the current per share redemption price as of     , 2024). BHAC cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their Public Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is lower than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, BHAC will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of such interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the total number of the then-outstanding shares of Public Stock, 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 (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of BHAC’s remaining stockholders and the Board, in accordance with applicable law, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to BHAC’s obligations under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) 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 BHAC’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

In the event of a liquidation, the Sponsor, Crixus BH3 Sponsor LLC and the officer and directors of BHAC (together, the “Sponsor Holders”) and certain anchor investors that hold certain shares of Class B Common Stock (the “Anchor Investors”) will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, 2,739,916 shares of Class B Common Stock and 11,200,000 Private Placement Warrants. As a consequence, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respect to the Public Stock.

If BHAC liquidates, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or any claims by a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.10 per share of Public Stock or (ii) such lesser amount per share of Public Stock held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to our Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of BHAC’s initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. We cannot assure you, however, that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, we anticipate that the per-share price at which shares of Public Stock will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $    . Nevertheless, BHAC cannot assure you that the per share distribution from the Trust Account, if BHAC liquidates, will not be less than $    , plus interest, due to unforeseen claims of creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder’s pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO BHAC’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE INITIALLY SCHEDULED DATE OF THE STOCKHOLDER MEETING. IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE YOUR LEGAL NAME, PHONE

The approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Stockholder Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put forth for a vote if there are insufficient shares of Common Stock voted at the Stockholder Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Stockholder Meeting or where the Board has determined it is otherwise necessary.

Record holders of Common Stock at the close of business on     , 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote or have their votes cast at the Stockholder Meeting. On the Record Date, there were 2,312,029 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by public stockholders, 3,000,000 issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Sponsor Holders and 2,739,916 issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor Holders and the Anchor Investors. BHAC’s warrants do not have voting rights.

The Sponsor, the Former Sponsor and BHAC’s officers and directors intend to vote all of their Common Stock in favor of the proposals being presented at the Stockholder Meeting and have, pursuant to a letter agreement, agreed to, among other things, waive their redemption rights with respect to any Common Stock held by them in connection with this Stockholder Meeting. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement, the Sponsor, the Former Sponsor and the officers and directors of BHAC hold an aggregate of approximately 63.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of no shares of Public Stock.

The accompanying proxy statement contains important information about the Stockholder Meeting, the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the Stockholder Meeting, BHAC urges you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

The accompanying proxy statement is dated     , 2024 and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about that date.

This proxy statement and the enclosed form of proxy are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board of directors (the “Board”) for use at the special meeting of stockholders of Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, a Delaware corporation ( “BHAC”, “we”, “us” or “our”), to be held at    a.m., Eastern Time, on July    , 2024 (the “Stockholder Meeting”) as a virtual meeting, or at such other time and on such other date to which the meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

Some of the statements contained in this proxy statement constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of BHAC with respect to, among other things, BHAC’s capital resources and results of operations. Likewise, BHAC’s financial statements and all of BHAC’s statements regarding market conditions and results of operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases.

The forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement reflect BHAC’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. BHAC does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

While forward-looking statements reflect BHAC’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. BHAC 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 proxy statement, except as required by applicable law. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause BHAC’s future results, performance or transactions to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in BHAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 23, 2024 and in other reports BHAC files with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to BHAC (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, a public stockholder may request that BHAC redeem all or a portion of such public stockholder’s Class A Common Stock (as defined below) issued as part of the units sold in BHAC’s initial public offering (the “Public Stock”) for cash if the Extension Amendment Proposal (as defined below) or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal (as defined below) is approved and implemented. The ability of our public stockholders to exercise such redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Stock may adversely affect the liquidity of our shares of Public Stock. As a result, you may be unable to sell your Public Stock even if the per-share market price is higher than the per-share redemption price paid to public stockholders that elect to redeem their Public Stock if the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved.

In addition, after the Stockholder Meeting, we may be required to demonstrate compliance with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC’s (“Nasdaq”) continued listing requirements in order to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq. Such continued listing requirements for our securities include, among other things, having at least 400 total stockholders, 1.1 million publicly held shares and a market value of publicly held shares of at least $15 million. We cannot assure you that any of our securities will be able to meet all of Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements following any redemptions in connection with the Stockholder Meeting. If our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in our securities and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

If we redeem our Public Stock in an amount in excess of the current Redemption Limitation (as defined below) and our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange. If Nasdaq delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another approved national securities exchange, we expect that such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including (i) a limited availability of market quotations for our securities, (ii) reduced liquidity for our securities, (iii) a determination that our Public Stock are “penny stocks” which will require brokers trading in our Public Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, including being subject to the depository requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act, and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities, (iv) a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future, and (v) a less attractive acquisition vehicle to a target business in connection with an initial business combination. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Our Public Stock and units qualify as covered securities under such statute. If we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

The Nasdaq Listing Rule 5101-2(b) requires that a special purpose acquisition company must complete one or more business combinations within three years of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement. The extension that we are requesting at the Stockholder Meeting will extend our ability to complete a business combination until the 42-month anniversary of our Stockholder, which will take us beyond the permitted

We and the holders of our securities could be materially adversely impacted if our securities are delisted from Nasdaq due to non-compliance with the above rule. In particular:

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other measures, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation and the amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the stock repurchased. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The IR Act applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

The Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax. On April 9, 2024, the Treasury issued proposed regulations applicable to the excise tax, including rules governing the calculation and reporting of the excise tax. Taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations until final regulations are issued.

As described under “Special Meeting of BHAC Stockholders — Redemption Rights” if the Termination Date (currently July 31, 2024) is extended, our public stockholders would have the right to require us to redeem their Public Stock. Any such redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a business combination or otherwise may be subject to the excise tax. In order to mitigate the current uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the IR Act, in the event that the Extension Amendment Proposal and/or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal are approved and implemented as described in this proxy statement, funds in the Trust Account, including any interest earned thereon, will not be used to pay for any excise tax liabilities with respect to any redemptions of Public Stock by BHAC.

Whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a business combination or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the business combination but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination), and (iv) the content of forthcoming final regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available to complete a business combination and may adversely affect our ability to complete a business combination. Furthermore, whether and to what extent we would be subject to the excise tax and the mechanics for payment of any excise tax in connection with a liquidating distribution in the event we fail to complete a business combination by the Original Termination Date (as defined below), or the Charter Extension Date, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension (as defined below) is implemented, is unclear. Such liquidating distribution would be paid to the holders of Public Stock in accordance with the terms of the Certificate of Incorporation from funds lawfully available, which may impact the amount of cash received with respect to the Public Stock if funds are not lawfully available or if third parties bring claims against us not otherwise covered by the Sponsor’s indemnification obligations.

Approving the Charter Extension involves a number of risks. Even if the Charter Extension is approved and implemented, we can provide no assurances that any transaction qualifying as a Business Combination will be consummated prior to the Charter Extension Date. Our ability to consummate a Business Combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Charter Extension is approved, we expect to seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination prior to the Charter Extension Date. We are required to offer stockholders the opportunity to redeem their Public Stock in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. Even if the Charter Extension is approved by our stockholders, it is possible that Redemptions will leave us with insufficient cash to consummate the Business Combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the Charter Extension and the Redemption Limitation Amendment and the Business Combination vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our stockholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of our shares on the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that stockholders will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.

We are subject to the laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of an initial business combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-business combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC adopted the previously proposed rules (the “SPAC Rules”), relating to, among other things, circumstances in which special purpose acquisition corporations (“SPACs”) could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) and the regulations thereunder. Specifically, the SPAC Rules mandate additional disclosure in business combinations involving SPACs and private operating companies; condensed financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies, the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filing in connection with proposed business combination transactions, the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions. Compliance with the SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect our ability to negotiate and complete our initial business combination and may increase the costs and time related thereto.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities may be restricted, including:

In order not to be regulated as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, unless we can qualify for an exclusion, we must ensure that we are engaged primarily in a business other than investing, reinvesting or trading in securities and that our activities do not include investing, reinvesting, owning, holding or trading “investment securities” constituting more than 40% of our total assets (exclusive of U.S. government securities and cash items) on an unconsolidated basis. Our business is to identify and complete a business combination and thereafter to operate the post-transaction business or assets for the long term. We do not plan to buy businesses or assets with a view to resale or profit from their resale. We do not plan to buy unrelated businesses or assets or to be a passive investor.

We do not believe that our anticipated principal activities will subject us to the Investment Company Act. To this end, the proceeds held in the trust account may only be invested in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Pursuant to the trust agreement, the trustee is not permitted to invest in other securities or assets. By restricting the investment of the proceeds to these instruments, and by having a business plan targeted at acquiring and growing businesses for the long term (rather than on buying and selling businesses in the manner of a merchant bank or private equity fund), we intend to avoid being deemed an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act. The trust account is intended as a holding place for funds pending the earliest to occur of: (i) our completion of an initial business combination, and then only in connection with those shares of our Class A Common Stock that such stockholder properly elected to redeem, (ii) the redemption of any Public Stock properly tendered in connection with a stockholder vote to amend our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Stock if we do not complete an initial business combination on or before the new termination date or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to the rights of our Class A Common Stock, and (iii) the redemption of our Public Stock if we have not completed an initial business combination on or before the new termination date, subject to applicable law. If we do not invest the proceeds as discussed above, we may be deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act.

In the adopting release for the SPAC Rules, the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC’s potential status as an “investment company” depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and “is a question of facts and circumstances” requiring individualized analysis. If we were deemed to be subject to the Investment Company Act, compliance with these additional regulatory burdens would require additional expenses for which we have not allotted funds and may hinder our ability to complete a business combination. Additionally, if we were deemed to be an investment company, and we are unable to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would either register as an investment company or abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate the Trust Account. As a result, our public stockholders may only receive their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to public stockholders, would be unable to realize the potential benefits of an initial business combination, including the possible appreciation of the combined company’s securities and our warrants may expire worthless.

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this proxy statement and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Stockholder Meeting and the proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Meeting. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to BHAC stockholders. Stockholders are urged to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposals to be presented at the Stockholder Meeting and the voting procedures for the Stockholder Meeting, which will be held on July    , 2024, at    a.m., Eastern Time.

BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) if BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Redemptions. BHAC cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account (as defined below) following the Redemptions if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be significantly less than the approximately $   that was in the Trust Account as of   , 2024 (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes).

As a stockholder of BHAC, you have a right to vote on certain matters affecting BHAC. The proposals that will be presented at the Stockholder Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are summarized above and fully set forth in this proxy statement. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Stockholder Meeting if you owned Common Stock at the close of business on   , 2024, which is the Record Date for the Stockholder Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock that you owned as of the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 8,051,945 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, of which 2,312,029 shares of Class A Common Stock were held by public stockholders, 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock were held by the Sponsor and the Former Sponsor and 2,739,916 shares of Class B Common Stock were held by the Sponsor Holders and the Anchor Investors.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of stockholders holding a majority of the Common Stock entitled to vote at the Stockholder Meeting constitutes a quorum at the Stockholder Meeting. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Sponsor Holders, who own 63.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the Record Date, no additional shares of Common Stock held by public stockholders would be required to be present at the Stockholder Meeting to achieve a quorum.

Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will not constitute votes cast at the Stockholder Meeting and therefore will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and no effect on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

Under the applicable rules, if a stockholder holds their shares in “street” name through a bank, broker or other nominee and the stockholder does not instruct their broker, bank or other nominee how to vote their shares on a proposal, the broker, bank or other nominee has the authority to vote the shares in its discretion on certain “routine” matters. However, banks, brokers and other nominees are not authorized to exercise their voting

The Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are “non-routine” matters and therefore, brokers are not permitted to exercise their voting discretion with respect to these proposals. As a result, if you hold your shares in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee cannot vote your shares on any of these proposals at the Stockholder Meeting without your instruction.

Because all of the proposals to be voted on at the Stockholder Meeting are “non-routine” matters, banks, brokers and other nominees will not have authority to vote on proposals unless instructed, so BHAC does not expect there to be any broker non-votes at the Stockholder Meeting.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Stockholder Meeting.

The Sponsor Holders intend to vote all of their Common Stock in favor of the proposals being presented at the Stockholder Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Sponsor Holders own 63.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

The following table reflects the number of additional shares of Public Stock required to approve each proposal:

If you were a holder of record of Common Stock as of the close of business on the Record Date for the Stockholder Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposals electronically, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Common Stock that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the Stockholder Meeting or at the Stockholder Meeting by doing any one of the following:

The Stockholder Meeting has been called only to consider and vote on the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the amended and restated bylaws of BHAC, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Stockholder Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Stockholder Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement, which serves as the notice of the Stockholder Meeting.

If you are a BHAC stockholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your Common Stock, you may call Morrow Sodali, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200 (toll-free), or banks and brokers can call (203) 658-9400, or by emailing    .info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Public Stock may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Charter Extension or the Redemption Limitation Amendment, any stockholder holding Public Stock may demand that BHAC redeem such shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $    per share of Public Stock as of    , 2024), calculated as of two business days prior to the Stockholder Meeting. If a holder properly seeks Redemption as described in this section, BHAC will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Stockholder Meeting. However, However, BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account Redemptions.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares of BHAC that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a holder of Public Stock, may not be withdrawn following the Redemption Deadline, unless approved by the Board. Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by the Transfer Agent, by the Redemption Deadline.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Stock with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Public Stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without our prior consent. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the shares of Public Stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash, without our prior consent.

The closing price of Public Stock on    , 2024, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement, was $   per share. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $   (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes) ($   per share of Public Stock). Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Public Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. BHAC cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their Public Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of Public Stock exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then he, she or it will be exchanging its Public Stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand Redemption by delivering your share certificate (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent two business days prior to the initially scheduled date of the Stockholder Meeting.

For a discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations for stockholders with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see “Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Stockholders Exercising Redemption Rights.” The consequences of a Redemption to any particular stockholder

There are no appraisal rights available to BHAC’s stockholders in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. However, holders of Public Stock may elect to have their shares redeemed in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal, as described under “Redemption Rights” above.

BHAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board. This proxy solicitation is being made by mail, but also may be made by telephone or in person. BHAC has engaged Morrow Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Stockholder Meeting. BHAC and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person. BHAC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this proxy statement and the related proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions.

BHAC will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of this proxy statement and the related proxy materials. BHAC will pay Morrow Sodali a fee of $  , plus disbursements, reimburse Morrow Sodali for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow Sodali and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses for its services as BHAC’s proxy solicitor. BHAC will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding this proxy statement and the related proxy materials to BHAC stockholders. Directors, officers and employees of BHAC who solicit proxies will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting.

BHAC is proposing to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which BHAC has to consummate a Business Combination to the Charter Extension Date so as to give BHAC additional time to complete the Business Combination.

Without the Charter Extension, BHAC believes that BHAC may not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If the Charter Extension is not approved, BHAC would be forced to liquidate.

As contemplated by the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of Public Stock may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Stock in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account if the Charter Extension is approved and implemented.

On     , 2024, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement, the redemption price per share was approximately $    , based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $     as of     , 2024 (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then outstanding Public Stock. The redemption price per share in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal will be calculated based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account two business days prior to the Stockholder Meeting. The closing price of the Public Stock on Nasdaq on     , 2024, was $    . Accordingly, if the market price of the Public Stock were to remain the same until the date of the Stockholder Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public stockholder receiving approximately $     [more/less] per share than if the shares were sold in the open market (based on the current per share redemption price as of     , 2024). BHAC cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their Public Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is lower than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares. BHAC believes that such redemption right enables its public stockholders to determine whether or not to sustain their investments for an additional period if BHAC does not complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date.

BHAC’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that BHAC has until July 31, 2024 to complete a business combination. BHAC and its officers and directors agreed that they would not seek to amend BHAC’s Certificate of Incorporation to allow for a longer period of time to complete a business combination unless BHAC provided holders of its Public Stock with the right to seek Redemption of their Public Stock in connection therewith. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of BHAC stockholders that the Charter Extension be obtained so that BHAC will have an additional amount of time to consummate the Business Combination. Without the Charter Extension, BHAC believes that BHAC may not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before July 31, 2024. If that were to occur, BHAC would be forced to liquidate.

The Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to allowing BHAC additional time to consummate the Business Combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension. BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Redemptions.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and a Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, then, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation, BHAC will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the Public Stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of such interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the total number of the then-outstanding shares of Public Stock, which redemption will completely

The Sponsor Holders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held by them and the Sponsor Holders and the Anchor Investors have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the 2,739,916 shares of Class B Common Stock held by them.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, BHAC shall procure that all filings required to be made with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal to extend the time it has to complete a Business Combination until the Charter Extension Date are made. BHAC will then continue to attempt to consummate a Business Combination until the Charter Extension Date. BHAC will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and its Public Stock and Public Warrants will remain publicly traded during this time.

In addition, BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) if BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Redemptions.

When considering the recommendation of the Board, BHAC stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as direct or indirect stockholders, the Sponsor, the Former Sponsor and certain members of the Board and officers of BHAC have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in recommending to BHAC stockholders that they approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. BHAC stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal:

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Extension Amendment Proposal. In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Charter Extension, any stockholder holding shares of Public Stock may demand that BHAC redeem such shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $    per share as of     , 2024), calculated as of two business days prior to the Stockholder Meeting. If a holder properly seeks Redemption as described in this section, BHAC will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Stockholder Meeting. However, BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension unless (i) the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved or (ii) if BHAC will have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, after taking into account the Redemptions. As a holder of Public Stock, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Stock to be redeemed only if you:

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares.

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares of BHAC that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a holder of Public Stock, may not be withdrawn following the Redemption Deadline, unless approved by the Board. Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by the Transfer Agent by the Redemption Deadline.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Stock with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Public Stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without our prior consent. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the shares of Public Stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash, without our prior consent.

The closing price of Public Stock on   , 2024, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement, was $    per share. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $    (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes) ($    per share of Public Stock). Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Public Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. BHAC cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their Public Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of Public Stock exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then he, she or it will be exchanging its Public Stock for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand Redemption by delivering your share certificate (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent two business days prior to the initially scheduled date of the Stockholder Meeting.

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will not constitute votes cast at the Stockholder Meeting and therefore will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Sponsor Holders intend to vote all Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor Holders own 63.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, in addition to the Sponsor Holders, approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of no shares of Public Stock.

BHAC is proposing to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to eliminate the requirement that BHAC has at least $5,000,001 in tangible net assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) under the Exchange Act) following redemptions in connection with this Stockholder Meeting or a Business Combination.

Without the Redemption Limitation Amendment, BHAC may not be able to implement the Charter Extension if following redemptions in connection with the Charter Extension BHAC would not have at least $5,000,001 in tangible net assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) under the Exchange Act). If that were to occur, BHAC would be forced to liquidate on the Termination Date.

The purpose of the Redemption Limitation requirements was to ensure that BHAC would not be subject to the “penny stock” rules of the SEC as long as it met the Redemption Limitation requirement, and therefore not be deemed a “blank check company” as defined under Rule 419 of the Securities Act because it complied with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) (the “NTA Rule”). BHAC is proposing to amend its Certificate of Incorporation to remove the Redemption Limitation requirements. The NTA Rule is one of several exclusions from the “penny stock” rules of the SEC and BHAC believes that it can rely on another exclusion, which relates to it being listed on Nasdaq (Rule 3a51-1(a)(2)) (the “Exchange Rule”). Therefore, the Company intends to rely on the exclusion from the penny stock rules set forth in Rule 3a51-1(a)(2) as a result of its securities being listed on Nasdaq.

As disclosed in our Initial Public Offering prospectus, BHAC is a blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Under Rule 419 of the Securities Act the term “blank check company” means a company that (i) is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person; and (ii) is issuing “penny stock,” as defined in Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act. Rule 3a51-1 sets forth that the term “penny stock” shall mean any equity security, unless it fits within certain enumerated exclusions including the NTA Rule and the Exchange Rule. Historically SPACs have relied upon the NTA Rule to avoid being deemed a penny stock issuer. The inclusion of the Redemption Limitation requirements in the Certificate of Incorporation was to ensure that through the consummation of an initial Business Combination, BHAC would not be considered a penny stock issuer and therefore a blank check company if no other exemption from the rule was available.

The Exchange Rule excludes from the definition of “penny stock” a security that is registered, or approved for registration upon notice of issuance, on a national securities exchange, or is listed, or approved for listing upon notice of issuance on, an automated quotation system sponsored by a registered national securities association, that has established initial listing standards that meet or exceed the criteria in the rule. The Company’s securities are listed on Nasdaq and have been since the consummation of its Initial Public Offering. The Company believes that Nasdaq has initial listing standards that meet the criteria identified in the Exchange Rule and that it can therefore rely on this rule to avoid being treated as a penny stock. Therefore, the inclusion of the Redemption Limitation in the Certificate of Incorporation is unnecessary.

Stockholders are being asked to adopt the proposed Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal which, in the judgment of the Board, may facilitate the consummation of the Business Combination. The Certificate of Incorporation limits BHAC’s ability to consummate an initial business combination, or to redeem common stock in connection with an initial business combination, if it would cause BHAC to have less than $5,000,001 in net tangible assets. The purpose of such limitation was initially to ensure that the common stock were not deemed to be a “penny stock” pursuant to Rule 3a51-1 under the Exchange Act in the event that such common stock failed to be listed on an approved national securities exchange. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and there are significant requests for redemption in connection with the Charter Extension such that following such redemptions, BHAC’s net tangible assets would be less than $5,000,001, the Redemption Limitation in the Certificate of Incorporation would prevent BHAC from being able to implement the Charter Extension. If that were to occur, BHAC would be forced to liquidate on the Termination Date.

If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved, we will not redeem Public Stock to the extent that accepting all properly submitted redemption requests would exceed the Redemption Limitation. In the event that the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and we receive notice of redemptions of Public Stock approaching or in excess of the Redemption Limitation, we and/or the Sponsor may take action to increase our net tangible assets to avoid exceeding the Redemption Limitation, which may include, at our and our Sponsor’s option and in our and its sole discretion, any, several or all of the following actions: (a) attempting to secure waivers of certain of our significant liabilities and (b) entering into non-redemption agreements with certain of our significant stockholders. If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Redemption Limitation is exceeded, either because we do not take action to increase our net tangible assets or because our attempt to do so is not successful, then we will not proceed with the Charter Extension and we will not redeem any Public Stock. In such case, Public Stock which a public stockholder elects to redeem but which are not redeemed shall be returned to such public stockholder or such public stockholder’s account and such public stockholder will retain the right to have their Public Stock redeemed for cash if BHAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Termination Date.

If the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved (and the Extension Amendment Proposal is also approved), BHAC shall procure that all filings required to be made with the Delaware Secretary of State in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal are made and, redeem Public Stock as necessary, irrespective of whether such redemptions exceed the Redemption Limitation.

If we redeem our Public Stock in an amount in excess of the current Redemption Limitation and our securities do not meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, Nasdaq may delist our securities from trading on its exchange. If Nasdaq delists any of our securities from trading on its exchange and we are not able to list such securities on another approved national securities exchange, we expect that such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including (i) a limited availability of market quotations for our securities, (ii) reduced liquidity for our securities, (iii) a determination that our Public Stock are “penny stocks” which will require brokers trading in our Public Stock to adhere to more stringent rules, including being subject to the depository requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act, and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities, (iv) a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future, and (v) a less attractive acquisition vehicle to a target business in connection with an initial business combination. The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” Our Public Stock and units qualify as covered securities under such statute. If we were no longer listed on Nasdaq, our securities would not qualify as covered securities under such statute and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

When you consider the recommendation of the Board, BHAC stockholders should be aware that aside from their interests as stockholders, the Sponsor, the Former Sponsor and certain members of the Board, and officers of BHAC have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of other stockholders generally. The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in recommending to BHAC stockholders that they approve the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. BHAC stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.

Please see “Proposal No. 1 — The Extension Amendment Proposal — Interests of the Sponsor, the Former Sponsor and BHAC’s Directors and Officers” above when you consider the recommendation of the Board. BHAC stockholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.

Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock may seek to redeem their shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. In connection with the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Redemption Limitation Amendment, any stockholder holding shares of Public Stock may demand that BHAC redeem such shares for a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $   per share as of   , 2024), calculated as of two business days prior to the Stockholder Meeting. If a holder properly seeks Redemption as described in this section, BHAC will redeem these shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Stockholder Meeting.

As a holder of Public Stock, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Stock to be redeemed only if you:

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares.

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Stock of BHAC that has not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming stockholder.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a holder of Public Stock, may not be withdrawn following the Redemption Deadline, unless approved by the Board. Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by the Transfer Agent by the Redemption Deadline.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such public stockholder or any other person with whom such public stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Stock with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares of Public Stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without our prior consent. Accordingly, if a public stockholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the shares of Public Stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash, without our prior consent.

The closing price of Public Stock on   , 2024, the most recent practicable date prior to the date of this proxy statement, was $   per share. The cash held in the Trust Account on such date was approximately $   (including interest not previously released to BHAC to pay its taxes) ($   per share of Public Stock). Prior to exercising redemption rights, stockholders should verify the market price of Public Stock as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Stock in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. BHAC cannot assure its stockholders that they will be able to sell their Public Stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when its stockholders wish to sell their shares.

The approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will not constitute votes cast at the Stockholder Meeting and therefore will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Sponsor Holders intend to vote all Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor Holders own 63.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, in addition to the Sponsor Holders, approval of the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of no shares of Public Stock.

BHAC is asking stockholders to approve the adjournment of the Stockholder Meeting to a later date or dates if necessary (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Stockholder Meeting, there are insufficient shares of Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal and (ii) where the Board has determined it is otherwise necessary.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by BHAC’s stockholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Stockholder Meeting to a later date in the event, that (i) based on the tabulated votes, there are insufficient shares of Common Stock represented (either in person or by proxy) at the time of the Stockholder Meeting to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal or (ii) the Board has determined it is otherwise necessary. In such events, the Charter Extension and the Redemption Limitation Amendment would not be implemented.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Stockholder Meeting. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but will not constitute votes cast at the Stockholder Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of the Adjournment Proposal.

As of the date of this proxy statement, the Sponsor Holders intend to vote any Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Adjournment Proposal. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor Holders own 63.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock. As a result, in addition to the Sponsor, approval of the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of no shares of Common Stock held by public stockholders.

The following discussion is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income tax considerations relevant to U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below) of Public Stock that elect to have their Public Stock redeemed for cash if the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal is approved. This discussion only applies to Public Stock that is held as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

For purposes of this discussion, because any Unit consisting of one (1) share of Class A Common Stock and one-half (1/2) of one (1) redeemable warrant that is separable at the option of the holder, BHAC is treating each share of Class A Common Stock and one-half (1/2) of one (1) redeemable warrant held in the form of a single unit as separate instruments and is assuming that the unit itself will not be treated as an integrated instrument. Accordingly, the separation of a Unit in connection with the exercise of redemption rights should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to any Public Stock held in the form of a Unit.

The following does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects arising in connection with the redemptions of Public Stock. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the IRS, in each case as in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect the tax consequences discussed below. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences discussed below. This discussion does not address any tax considerations for any transaction other than the redemptions of Public Stock.

This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a taxpayer’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of Public Stock that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

A “Redeeming U.S. Holder” is a U.S. Holder that so redeems its shares.

As used herein, the term “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Public Stock that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

A “Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder” is a Non-U.S. Holder that so redeems its shares.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Public Stock, the tax treatment of an owner of such entity or arrangement will depend on the status of the owners, the activities of the entity or arrangement and certain determinations made at the owner level. Accordingly, entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

This section is addressed to Redeeming U.S. Holders of Public Stock that elect to have their Public Stock redeemed for cash as described in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 - The Extension Amendment Proposal - Redemption Rights and “Proposal No. 2 - The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal - Redemption Rights.”

In the event that a U.S. Holder exercises redemption rights with respect to its Public Stock, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Public Stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Public Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as described under “- Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Stockholders – Redemption of Public Stock Treated as a Sale or Other Disposition.” If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Public Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as described under “- Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Stockholders – Redemption of Public Stock Treated as Corporate Distribution.”

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a Redeeming U.S. Holder takes into account not only shares actually owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder, but also shares that are constructively owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder. A Redeeming U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to Public Stock owned directly, Public Stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such Redeeming U.S. Holder, as well as any shares the Redeeming U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would include shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants.

In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of BHAC’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of Public Stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent of the percentage of BHAC’s outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption (taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Public Stock). There generally will be a complete termination of a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of BHAC stock actually and constructively owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of BHAC stock actually owned by the Redeeming U.S. Holder are redeemed and the Redeeming U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members, the Redeeming U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares of BHAC stock and the Redeeming U.S. Holder otherwise complies with specific conditions (in each case, taking into account both redemptions by other holders of Public Stock). The redemption of Public Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in BHAC. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in BHAC will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation that exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution and the tax effects will be described under “- Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Stockholders – Redemption of Public Stock Treated as Corporate Distribution.” After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the Redeeming U.S. Holder in the redeemed Public Stock will be added to the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining BHAC stock, or, if it has none, to the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its BHAC warrants or possibly in other BHAC stock constructively owned by it. Redeeming U.S. Holders that hold shares of BHAC stock with differing tax bases or holding periods are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the rules related to redemptions.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Public Stock, a Redeeming U.S. Holder will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference (if any) between the amount realized and the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Stock redeemed. A Redeeming U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Stock will equal the sum of the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s purchase price allocated to such Public Stock and any amounts capitalized into the basis of such Public Stock for U.S. federal income tax purposes, less any prior distributions paid to such Redeeming U.S. Holder that were treated as a return of capital for

If the running of the holding period for the Public Stock is suspended, then the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption, and non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holders may not be able to satisfy the more than one year holding period requirement for long-term capital gain treatment, in which case any such capital gain or loss recognized with respect to a redemption would be subject to short-term capital gain or loss treatment and any such gain would be taxed at regular ordinary income tax rates. Subject to certain exceptions, long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holders generally will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Redeeming U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of the redemption of their Public Stock.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Public Stock, a Redeeming U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution of cash from BHAC. Such corporate distribution will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from BHAC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of BHAC’s current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Stock, to the extent thereof. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of the Public Stock and will be treated as described under “- Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Stockholders – Redemption of Public Stock Treated as a Sale or Other Disposition.” Redeeming U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of the redemption of their Public Stock.

Provided that certain holding period requirements are met, dividends BHAC pays to a Redeeming U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may qualify for the dividends received deduction. Such dividends also may be subject to the “extraordinary dividends” provisions of the Code, which could cause a reduction in the tax basis of such corporate Redeeming U.S. Holder’s shares and cause such Redeeming U.S. Holder to recognize capital gain. Provided certain holding period requirements are met, and with certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), dividends BHAC pays to a non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holder may constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at preferential long-term capital gains rates. It is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the Public Stock may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be. If the holding period requirements are not satisfied, then a corporation may not be able to qualify for the dividends received deduction and may have taxable income equal to the entire dividend amount, and non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holders may be subject to tax on such dividend at regular ordinary income tax rates instead of the preferential rate that applies to qualified dividend income. U.S. Holders should consult with their own tax advisors regarding its applicable holding period for these purposes.

Payments received by a Redeeming U.S. Holder as a result of the redemption of Public Stock may be subject, under certain circumstances, to information reporting and, unless the Redeeming U.S. Holder is exempt, backup withholding. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the Redeeming U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or certification of exempt status, has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn), or otherwise fails to make the required certifications (generally on an IRS Form W-9) or establish an exemption. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

This section is addressed to Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders of Public Stock that elect to have their shares redeemed for cash as described in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 - The Extension Amendment Proposal - Redemption Rights” and “Proposal No. 2 - The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal - Redemption Rights.”

The U.S. federal income tax characterization of the exercise of redemption rights by a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder with respect to its Public Stock generally will correspond to the characterization of the exercise of redemption rights by a Redeeming U.S. Holder with respect to its Public Stock, as described under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Stockholders.” However, the consequences of such redemption to the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder may differ from the consequences for Redeeming U.S. Holders, as described below. It is possible that because the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine the proper characterization of a redemption of a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s Public Stock, the withholding agent might treat the redemption as a distribution subject to withholding tax.

Subject to the discussions of backup withholding and FATCA below, if the redemption qualifies as a sale of Public Stock with respect to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder, such Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the redemption of its Public Stock, unless:

Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or a lower treaty rate).

If the second bullet point above applies to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder, such Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s gain from the redemption will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty), which gain may be offset by certain U.S. source capital losses of such Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder if the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

If the third bullet point above applies to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder with respect to the redemption of Public Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates and a U.S. withholding tax could apply. However, BHAC believes that it is not, and has not been at any time since its formation, a U.S. real property holding corporation.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Public Stock, a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution of cash from BHAC. The determination of the extent to which such distribution will be treated as a dividend, return of capital, or gain realized on the sale of Public Stock will be

In general, any distributions the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder is treated as receiving as a result of a redemption, to the extent paid out of BHAC’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the withholding requirements under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder, collectively “FATCA,” and provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S., withholding of tax from the gross amount of the dividend will be required at a rate of 30%, unless such Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). Because it generally cannot be determined at the time of a distribution whether or not the distribution will exceed current and accumulated earnings and profits, BHAC normally will withhold tax on the entire amount of any distribution at the 30% rate (subject to reduction by an applicable income tax treaty). However, some or all of any amounts thus withheld may be refundable to the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder if it is subsequently determined that such distribution was, in fact, in excess of BHAC’s current and accumulated earnings and profits.

Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Stock, to the extent thereof, and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Public Stock, which will be treated as described under “- Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Stockholders – Redemption of Public Stock Treated as a Sale or Other Disposition.”

The withholding tax described above does not apply to dividends paid to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required under an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder). Instead, the effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. income tax as if the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise. A Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of 30% (or a lower treaty rate).

Any distributions paid to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder (including constructive distributions pursuant to a redemption of Public Stock) may be reported annually to the IRS and to the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established. Any distributions paid to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder (including constructive distributions pursuant to a redemption of Public Stock) will not be subject to backup withholding if the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form).

Payments of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition by a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder of Public Stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker may be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) and certain other conditions are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of Public Stock effected outside the U.S. by a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder is not a U.S. person and certain other conditions are met, or the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder otherwise establishes an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the sale or other disposition by a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder of Public Stock effected outside the U.S. by such a broker if such broker has certain relationships to the U.S.

FATCA generally imposes withholding of 30% on payments of dividends (including constructive dividends) on BHAC stock to “foreign financial institutions” (which is broadly defined for this purpose and in general includes investment vehicles) and certain other Non-U.S. entities, unless various U.S. information reporting and due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with those entities) have been satisfied by, or an exemption applies to, the payee (typically certified as to by the delivery of a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN-E). The IRS has issued proposed regulations (on which taxpayers may rely until final regulations are issued) that would generally not apply these withholding requirements to gross proceeds from sales or other disposition of BHAC stock. Jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such withholding taxes, and a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder might be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return to claim such refunds or credits.

Public Stockholders contemplating exercise of their redemption rights should consult their tax advisors to determine the specific tax consequences to them of such a redemption, including the effect of any U.S. federal, state or local, non-U.S. or other tax laws and the effect of any applicable income tax treaty.

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On October 7, 2021, BHAC consummated its Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units, at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000, which included the full exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase an additional 3,000,000 Units at the Initial Public Offering’s price to cover over-allotments. The securities in the offering were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-259269). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on October 4, 2021.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, BHAC consummated the sale of 6,400,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Former Sponsor at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $9,600,000.

In addition, the Sponsor Holders and the Anchor Investors currently hold 3,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,739,916 shares of Class B Common Stock. The shares of Class B Common Stock that have not been previously converted into shares of Class A Common Stock will automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the completion of our initial business combination or earlier at the option of the holder thereof.

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the private placement on October 7, 2021 and the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment, $232,300,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in the Trust Account, and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund investing solely in U.S. Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act.

On September 27, 2023, BHAC, the Former Sponsor and the Sponsor entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). In connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Sponsor (i) purchased an aggregate of 3,746,303 shares of Class B Common Stock from the Former Sponsor and the Anchor Investors and 4,160,000 Private Placement Warrants from the Former Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $16,288.27 and (ii) became the Sponsor of BHAC. The Purchase Agreement closed effective as of November 2, 2023.

Our Sponsor was founded by affiliates of Focus Impact Partners, LLC, who also serve as officers and directors of Focus Impact Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: FIAC) that entered into a business combination agreement with DevvStream Holdings Inc., a company existing under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia, on September 12, 2023.

On December 7, 2022 (following approval by our stockholders at a special meeting), we effected a charter amendment and a trust amendment, the effect of which was to change our termination date from April 7, 2023 to August 7, 2023 (as further extended to October 6, 2023 by the Former Sponsor providing us with the requisite notice and the deposit amount). In connection with the charter amendment, 17,987,408 Public Shares (78.2% of the Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the record date for the special meeting) were tendered for redemption. After giving effect to the redemptions, we had approximately $51.2 million remaining in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2024, BHAC, NewCo, Merger Sub 1, MergerSub 2 and XCF, entered into the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (a) BHAC will merge with and into Merger Sub 1, with Merger Sub 1 being the surviving entity of the NewCo Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo; and (b) immediately following the NewCo Merger, Merger Sub 2 will merge with and into XCF, with XCF being the surviving corporation of the Company Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo. As a result of the Business Combination, NewCo will become a new publicly-traded company. For more information about the Business Combination, refer to the Form 8-K.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that, among other things and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, the following transactions will occur:

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to the fulfillment of certain customary conditions, including the approval of BHAC’s and XCF’ stockholders and accordingly, there can be no assurances that we will be able to consummate the Business Combination on the terms contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Without the Charter Extension, BHAC believes that it may not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, BHAC would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate even if BHAC stockholders are otherwise in favor of consummating the Business Combination.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the removal from the Trust Account of the amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account with respect to such redeemed Public Stock will reduce BHAC’s net asset value. BHAC cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account following the Redemptions if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the $    that was in the Trust Account as of    , 2024. Unless the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, BHAC will not proceed with the Charter Extension.

BHAC believes that given BHAC’s expenditure of time, effort and money on the Business Combination, circumstances warrant ensuring that BHAC is in the best position possible to consummate the Business Combination and that it is in the best interests of BHAC’s stockholders that BHAC obtain the Charter Extension. BHAC believes the Business Combination will provide significant benefits to its stockholders.

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of BHAC’s Common Stock as of     , 2024, based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of BHAC’s Common Stock, by:

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if such person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within sixty days.

In the table below, percentage ownership is based on 5,312,029 shares of Class A Common Stock (which includes Class A Common Stock that are underlying Units) and 2,739,916 shares of Class B Common Stock, issued and outstanding as of    , 2024. The table below does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants because these securities are not exercisable within 60 days of this proxy statement.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension is implemented, BHAC’s next annual meeting of stockholders will be held no later than December 31, 2024. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and a business combination is not consummated by the Original Termination Date, there will be no further annual meetings of BHAC. You should direct any proposals to BHAC’s Chief Executive Officer at Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 33^rd Floor, New York, NY 10105.
