On July 2, 2024, Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company (the “Company”) filed a definitive proxy statement, as supplemented (the “Extension Proxy Statement”), for a special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, to (i) extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from July 31, 2024 to February 7, 2025 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without the need for another stockholder vote, to elect to further extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis for up to two times, by an additional one month each time, after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by Focus Impact BHAC Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and (ii) eliminate the limitation that the Company may not redeem public stock to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company 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 Special Meeting had been scheduled for 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 23, 2024, virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/focusimpactbh3/2024. The board of directors of the Company has decided to postpone the Meeting to July 30, 2024, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time to allow additional time for the Company to engage with its stockholders.
In connection with the postponement of the Special Meeting, the deadline for stockholders to exercise their right to redeem their shares of Class A common stock of the Company for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Company’s trust account, or to withdraw any previously delivered demand for redemption is extended, to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 26, 2024. If a stockholder has previously submitted a request to redeem its shares of Class A common stock in connection with the Special Meeting and would like to reverse such request, such stockholder may contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind (e-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com).
