TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF NUBIA BRAND INTERNATIONAL CORP.:

As you know, the special meeting (the “special meeting”) of Nubia Brand International Corp. (the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern time, on December 15, 2023. The special meeting will be held virtually, at https://www.cstproxy.com/nubiabrandinternational/ext2023.

At the special meeting, the stockholders will consider and vote upon the following proposals:

On or about December 4, 2023, the Company mailed to you a proxy statement relating to the special meeting. The attached Supplement to the proxy statement contains additional information that supplements the proxy statement. The Company urges you to read this Supplement, together with the proxy statement previously sent to you, carefully and in its entirety.

The Company is providing this Supplement to reflect that Mach FM Acquisitions, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, or any of its affiliates or designees (the “Contributors”) must deposit $125,000 on a monthly basis for each one month of the Extension into the trust account from December 15, 2023, to the Extended Date. Each such deposit is referred to herein as an “Extension Payment.” Each Extension Payment will be deposited in the trust account within two business days prior to the beginning of the additional extension period (or portion thereof). The Extension Payment(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Contributors upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Contributors if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account. If the Company extends the time to complete a business combination to March 15, 2024, the Contributors would make aggregate Contributions in the amount of $375,000, or approximately $0.10 per share assuming no redemptions.

Your vote is important. Whether or not you expect to attend the special meeting in person, please complete, date and sign the proxy card enclosed with the original proxy statement and mail it in the postage-paid envelope to ensure that your shares will be represented and voted at the special meeting. If you have already submitted your proxy card and do not wish to change your vote, there is no need to submit another proxy card in response to this Supplement to the proxy statement.

I look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

Your vote is important. If you are a stockholder of record, please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the special meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may also cast your vote virtually at the special meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, or you may cast your vote virtually at the special meeting by obtaining a proxy from your brokerage firm or bank. Your failure to vote or instruct your broker or bank how to vote will have the same effect as voting against the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal, and an abstention will have the same effect as voting against the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal.

(the “Company”) as of the close of business on November 6, 2023. The following information supplements and should be read in conjunction with the original proxy statement dated December 4, 2023 that the Company mailed to you on or about December 4, 2023 (the “Original Proxy Statement”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning as in the Original Proxy Statement.

The Company is providing this Supplement to reflect that Mach FM Acquisitions, LLC, the Company’s sponsor, or any of its affiliates or designees (the “Contributors”) must deposit $125,000 on a monthly basis for each one month of the Extension into the trust account from December 15, 2023, to the Extended Date. Each such deposit is referred to herein as an “Extension Payment.” Each Extension Payment will be deposited in the trust account within two business days prior to the beginning of the additional extension period (or portion thereof). The Extension Payment(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Contributors upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Contributors if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the trust account. If the Company extends the time to complete a business combination to March 15, 2024, the Contributors would make aggregate Contributions in the amount of $375,000, or approximately $0.10 per share assuming no redemptions. The Company’s Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated March 10, 2022, as amended, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will be amended (as amended, the “Trust Amendment”) to reflect the foregoing. The Trust Amendment is attached hereto as Annex B. Below is the Trust Amendment Proposal from the Original Proxy Statement as restated to reflect the foregoing.

THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Company entered into the Trust Agreement in connection with the IPO and a potential business combination.

The Trust Amendment would amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension as contemplated by the Extension Amendment Proposal provided that the Contributors must deposit $125,000 on a monthly basis for each one month of the Extension into the trust account from December 15, 2023, to the Extended Date. A copy of the proposed Trust Amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Reasons for the Proposal

The purpose of the Trust Amendment Proposal is to authorize the Extension under the Trust Agreement, as the Extension is not contemplated under the Trust Agreement’s current terms.

We believe that given the Company’s expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing an initial business combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider a business combination. For the Company to implement the Extension, the Trust Agreement must be amended to authorize the Extension.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote by holders of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Company’s outstanding common stock is required to approve the Trust Amendment.

If you do not vote, you abstain from voting or you fail to instruct your broker or other nominee as to the voting of shares you beneficially own, your action will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not want the Trust Amendment Proposal approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” the Trust Amendment Proposal.

The Company’s initial stockholders and their respective affiliates are expected to vote any common stock over which they have voting control (including any public shares owned by them) in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

The initial stockholders are not entitled to redeem the founder shares or any public shares held by them. On the record date, the initial stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 3,087,500 founder shares, which represents 43.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock.

Recommendation

Our Board has determined that the Trust Amendment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

OUR BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of our directors and officers may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors or officers between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that stockholders vote for the proposals. See the section entitled “The Extension Amendment — Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers” for a further discussion.
