Introductory Note
On November 6, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Focus Impact Acquisition Corp. and our predecessor company (“FIAC”) consummated the previously announced
business combination with DevvStream Holdings Inc., a company existing under the Laws of the Province of British Columbia (“DevvStream”) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of September 12,
2023 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement dated May 1, 2024, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement dated August 10, 2024, and as further amended by Amendment No. 3 to the
Business Combination Agreement dated October 29, 2024, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among FIAC, Focus Impact Amalco Sub Ltd. (“Amalco Sub”) and DevvStream.
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, on the Closing Date, (a) FIAC changed its jurisdiction from the State of Delaware under
the Delaware General Corporation Law to the Province of Alberta, Canada, and thereby become a company existing under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta) and changed its name to DevvStream Corp. (“New PubCo” or the “Company”), and (b) DevvStream
and Amalco Sub amalgamated to form one corporate entity (such entity, “Amalco” and such transaction, the “Amalgamation”).
On November 6, 2024, New PubCo also issued (i) 194,809 common shares of New PubCo (the “New PubCo Common Shares”) to certain investors
pursuant to subscription agreements, dated October 29, 2024, including a subscription agreement with Helena Global Investment Opportunities I Ltd. (such agreements together, the “PIPE Agreements”) for $2,250,000 in the aggregate, and (ii) 3,249,877
New PubCo Common Shares to certain investors, including Karbon-X Corp, pursuant to certain carbon credit subscription agreements dated October 29, 2024 (such agreements together, the “Carbon Subscription Agreements”) (items (i) and (ii) in the
foregoing together, the “PIPE Financing”). The Carbon Subscription Agreements were executed in connection with certain Carbon Credit Purchase Agreements with DevvStream (the “Carbon Credit Purchase Agreements”), pursuant to which DevvStream is
purchasing carbon credits from certain sellers (“Carbon Credit Sellers”). The New PubCo Common Shares that are being issued to such Carbon Credit Sellers pursuant to the Carbon Subscription Agreements are being issued to the Carbon Credit Sellers
in satisfaction of the purchase price owed to them under the Carbon Credit Purchase Agreements.
As previously reported prior to the consummation of the Business Combination (as defined below), on October 29, 2024, FIAC entered into
an amendment (the “Amendment to the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement”) to the side letter agreement, dated September 12, 2023, which was subsequently amended on May 1, 2024, by and among FIAC and the Sponsor (as amended, the “Letter Agreement”).
Pursuant to the Amendment to the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement, FIAC amended the transfer restrictions included therein to enable the Sponsor to transfer on October 29, 2024 up to 5,750,000 shares of common stock of the Company (such shares of
common stock that are being transferred, the “Sponsor Shares”) to (i) certain advisor parties in full or partial satisfaction of such advisor parties’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the the Business Combination with DevvStream
(approximately $15.1 million of fees and expenses are being satisfied through the transfer of Sponsor Shares to advisor parties) (the “Equitization”), (ii) certain investors subscribing to PIPE Agreements (as defined below), and (iii) Helena Global
Investment Opportunities I Ltd. as consideration for the execution of an equity line of credit purchase agreement, dated October 29, 2024 with FIAC and the Sponsor (the “ELOC Agreement”). On October 29, 2024, FIAC had also determined that it is
advisable and in the best interest of FIAC and its stockholders to waive the transfer restrictions to which the Sponsor Shares were subject and that were included in the certain letter agreement, dated November 1, 2021, by and between FIAC and the
Sponsor. Pursuant to the Amendment to the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement, FIAC agreed that in connection with the Closing (as defined below), the Sponsor will be issued New PubCo Common Shares in an amount that is equal to the number of Sponsor
Shares that the Sponsor agreed to transfer prior to the Closing, as described in the foregoing items (i) to (iii).
Further, as previously reported prior to the Closing, FIAC entered into a contribution and exchange agreement (the “Monroe Agreement”)
on October 29, 2024, pursuant to which, among other things, Crestmont Investments LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, will, immediately following the Closing, contribute 2,000,000 units representing 50% of the limited liability company
interests in Monroe Sequestration Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, in exchange for 2,000,000 New PubCo Common Shares, subject to the terms and conditions described in the Monroe Agreement.
Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to New PubCo. All references herein to the “Board” refer to the board
of directors of New PubCo. All references herein to the “Closing” refer to the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the PIPE Financing (the “Transactions” or the “Business Combination”). Defined
terms included in this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) shall have the same meaning as the defined terms used in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus included in FIAC’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-275871)
that was initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on December 4, 2024 (as amended, the “Proxy Statement/Prospectus”).

Registration Rights Agreement
On November 6, 2023, New PubCo, Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor"), and certain

Sponsor 557,290 New PubCo Common Shares in a private placement pursuant to the Strategic Consulting Agreement in connection with the execution of the Strategic Consulting Agreement. The Strategic Consulting Agreement has a term of three (3) years
unless terminated early with at least 120 days advance notice and will be automatically extended for successive one (1)-year periods at the end of each year unless New PubCo or the Consultant provide a written notice of its desire not to
automatically extend at least 120 days prior to the end of each year during the term of the Strategic Consulting Agreement. Pursuant to the Strategic Consulting Agreement, New PubCo has also agreed to customary indemnification of the Consultant
in connection with the performance of its services.
The foregoing description of the Strategic Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety
by the terms and conditions thereof, a form of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.20 of this Current Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

Company Option or Company RSU, respectively, multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio, as defined below (and, for Company Options, at an adjusted exercise price equal to the exercise price for such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective
Time divided by the Common Conversion Ratio), (vii) each warrant of DevvStream (each, a “Company Warrant”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time became exercisable for New PubCo Common Shares in an amount equal to the
Company Shares underlying such Company Warrant multiplied by the Common Conversion Ratio (“Converted Warrants”) (and at an adjusted exercise price equal to the exercise price for such Company Warrant prior to the Effective Time divided by the
Common Conversion Ratio), (viii) the holder of convertible notes to be issued by DevvStream, if any, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Convertible Notes”) received New PubCo Common Shares in accordance
with the terms of such Company Convertible Notes, and (ix) each common share of Amalco Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was automatically exchanged for one common share of Amalco.
The “Per Common Share Amalgamation Consideration” means (i) with respect to each Multiple Voting Company Share, an amount of New PubCo Common Shares

Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued pursuant to the vesting of the Company RSUs in accordance therewith; provided, that “Fully Diluted Common Shares Outstanding” shall not include any Subordinary Voting Company Shares to be issued
(including pursuant to the exercise and conversion of Company Warrants) to any Approved Financing Source pursuant to an Approved Financing. The “Reverse Split Factor” means 0.9692, which is equal to the lesser of (a) the quotient obtained by
dividing the Final Company Share Price by $0.6316 and (b) one. The “Final Company Share Price” means the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the Cboe Canada stock exchange (the “Cboe Canada”), as of the end of last trading
day on the Cboe Canada prior to the Closing (and if there is no such closing price on the last trading day prior to the Closing, the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the last trading day prior to the Closing on which there
is such a closing price), converted into United States dollars based on the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate on the last business day prior to the Closing.
Each New PubCo Warrants is exercisable for 0.9692 New PubCo Common Shares for $11.86 (the "Adjusted Exercise Price"). The Converted Private Placement
Warrants are also exerciseable cashless pursuant to the terms of the Converted Private Placement Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the New PubCo Warrants, the exercise price of the New PubCo Warrants will be further adjusted pursuant to a
provision in the New PubCo Warrants that was triggered in connection with the financing transactions that closed in connection with consummation of the Business Combination and will be adjusted to an exercise price that is equal to 115% of the

Business
We are a capex-light carbon credit generation company focused on high quality and high return technology-based projects. We offer investors exposure to
carbon credits, a key instrument used to offset emissions of carbon dioxide from industrial activities to reduce the effects of global warming.
By utilizing blockchain technology to drive trust and transparency across the credit cycle and through leveraging partnerships with market leaders, we
provide a turnkey solution to help companies generate, manage, and monetize environmental assets through carbon credits. The blockchain technology will be used in conjunction with DevvStream’s platform to track, manage and store data only. It will
do so to keep an immutable record of the data. The blockchain technology will not be used to track any assets. The blockchain technology will not create a record of carbon credits. Carbon credits are tracked by third parties in traditional
registries and those registries show ownership of the carbon credits. We will not use the blockchain technology to create or track any type of crypto asset, and our use of the blockchain does not involve or require the integration of any token or
other crypto asset to support its functionality.
As explained in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of DevvStream—Liquidity and
Capital Resources” in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, New PubCo’s management does not believe its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial
statements, which management believes raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. For more information also see “Risk Factors — Risks Related to DevvStream’s Business and Industry —
We have incurred significant losses and expect to incur additional expenses and continuing losses for the foreseeable future, and we may not achieve or maintain profitability,” which can be found beginning on page 66 of the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The mailing address of our principal executive offices is 2108 N St., Suite 4254 Sacramento, CA 95816 and our telephone number at such address is (647)
689-6041.
New PubCo owns no material assets other than the 100% issued and outstanding shares Amalco and does not operate any business.
Our business is further described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Information about DevvStream” beginning on page 223 of the
Proxy Statement/Prospectus and that information is incorporated herein by reference.
Risk Factors
The risk factors related to New PubCo, our business and operations and the Transactions are set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of New PubCo Common Shares immediately following
consummation of the Transactions by:
|
• |
each person known by New PubCo to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of New PubCo’s issued and outstanding common shares immediately following the consummation of the Transactions;
|
|
• |
each of New PubCo’s executive officers and directors; and
|
|
• |
all of New PubCo’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the Transactions.
|
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership
of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise
of stock options and warrants, within 60 days of the Closing Date. Shares subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of the Closing Date are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the
person holding such options for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as noted by footnote, and subject
to community property laws where applicable, based on the information provided to New PubCo, New PubCo believes that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as
beneficially owned by them. Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the directors and executive officers of New PubCo is 2108 N St., Suite 4254 Sacramento, CA 95816. The percentage of beneficial ownership of New PubCo is calculated
based on 27,413,444 New PubCo Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to the Transactions.

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination on
November 6, 2024, (i) the reporting person forfeited 575,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the issuer ("Class B Shares"), (ii) 15,558 Class B Shares were converted into 15,079 New PubCo Common Shares"), and
(iii) 5,000,531 New PubCo Common Shares were issued to the reporting person in exchange for the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the issuer and the Class B Shares that the reporting person transferred on
October 29, 2024. Does not include any New PubCo Common Shares upon exercise of any of the Converted Private Placement Warrant held by the reporting person. The reporting person is controlled by a four-member board of managers composed of
Carl Stanton, Ernest Lyles, Howard Sanders and Wray Thorn. Each manager has one vote, and the approval of a majority of the managers is required to approve an action of the reporting person. Under the so-called "rule of three," if voting
and dispositive decisions regarding an entity's securities are made by three or more individuals, and a voting or dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a
beneficial owner of the entity's securities. This is the situation with regard to the reporting person. Based upon the foregoing analysis, no individual manager of the reporting person exercises voting or dispositive control over any of
the securities held by the reporting, even those in which such manager holds a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of them will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such securities. 11,200,000 private placement warrants of
the issuer held by the reporting person at the time of the closing of the Business Combination will be assumed by New PubCo and converted into 11,200,000 Converted Private Placement Warrants of New PubCo, with each Converted Private
Placement Warrant being exercisable for 0.9692 New PubCo Common Shares on a cashless basis or for cash at $11.86 (subject to additional adjustments pursuant to the terms of the Converted Private Placement Warrant). The issuance of
10,855,040 New PubCo Common Shares with respect to the Converted Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor assumes that each of the Converted Private Placement Warrant is exercised for cash. Pursuant to the terms of the Converted
Private Placement Warrants, the exercise price of the Converted Private Placement Warrants is adjustable if certain capital raising transactions meet certain requirements in connection with a business combination and shall be adjusted to
an exercise price that is equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the New Issued Price. "Market Value" as used in the foregoing shall mean the volume-weighted average trading price of the New PubCo Common Shares during the
twenty (20) trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which the issuer consummated the Business Combination. "Newly Issued Price" as used in the foregoing shall mean the issue price or effective issue price (as
determined in good faith by the board of directors of the issuer), at which the issuer issued additional shares or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares for capital raising purposes in connection with the
closing of the Business Combination. Does not reflect the additional New PubCo Common Shares issuable to the Sponsor pursuant to the terms of the Strategic Consulting Agreement or the New PubCo Common Shares issuable upon conversion of
the New Convertible Notes, which each were executed after the Closing.

Consists of 5,015,610 New PubCo Common Shares and 10,855,040 New PubCo Common Share issuable upon exercise of 11,200,000 Converted Private Placement Warrants

Independence of Board of Directors

Stephen Kukucha and Jamila Piracci are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.
