On September 27, 2024, Arogo Capital Acquisition Corp.

Additional Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the previously announced proposed business combination transaction, the Company intends to file a registration statement on Form F-4, which will include a proxy statement/prospectus, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the amendments thereto and the definitive proxy statement and documents incorporated by reference therein filed in connection with the proposed business combination transaction, as these materials will contain important information about the Company, Ayurcann Holding Corp. and the proposed business combination transaction. Promptly after the Form F-4 is declared effective by the SEC, the Company will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and a proxy card to each stockholder entitled to vote at the meeting relating to the approval of the business combination and other proposals set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of the Company and other interested parties are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus, any amendments thereto and any other documents filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety, when they become available, because they will contain important information about the proposed business combination and the parties to the business combination. The preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, when available, and other reports and filings made with the SEC by the Company are available free of charge through the website maintained by the SEC at http://www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Arogo Capital Acquisition Corp., 848 Brickell Avenue, Penthouse 5, Miami, FL 33131.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements include those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact. Forward-looking statements include information regarding our future plans and goals, as well as our expectations with respect to, without limitation: our ability to consummate the proposed business combination.
Forward-looking statements may be accompanied by words such as “outlook,” “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “believe,” “budget,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “due,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “objective,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “positioned,” “pursue,” “seek,” “should,” “target,” “will,” “would” and other similar expressions that are predictions of or indicate future events and future trends, or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are not assurances of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which may cause actual results to differ materially from any results expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement, including, but not limited to, the important factors outlined under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as such factors may be updated from time to time in the Company’s other filings with the SEC, which are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in its forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot guarantee future results. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made and, except as otherwise required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update, amend or ratify any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or other factors.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and Ayurcann Holdings Corp. and their respective directors and certain of their respective executive officers and other members of management and employees may be considered participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of the Company with respect to the proposed business combination. Information about the directors and executive officers of the Company is set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be included in the proxy statement and/or prospectus and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC regarding the proposed business combination, when they become available. Stockholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the proxy statement/prospectus carefully, when it becomes available, before making any voting or investment decisions. When available, these documents can be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
No Offer or Solicitation
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed business combination. This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or an exemption therefrom.
