On August 20, 2024, Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company (“BHAC”)
received approval from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) to list its units (the “Units”),
Class A common stock (the “Common Stock”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) on The Nasdaq Capital Market. The Units, Common Stock
and Warrants transferred from The Nasdaq Global Market to The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on August 20, 2024, and continue to trade under the symbols “BHACU,” “BHAC” and “BHACW,” respectively. The Nasdaq Capital Market
operates in substantially the same manner as the Nasdaq Global Market, and listed companies must meet certain financial requirements and comply with Nasdaq’s corporate governance requirements.
Additional Information about the BHAC’s Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed business combination among BHAC and XCF Global Capital, Inc. (“XCF”),
BHAC and XCF have prepared, and Focus Impact BH3 Newco, Inc. (“NewCo”) has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)
a registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) containing a prospectus with respect to the securities to be issued in connection with the business combination, a
proxy statement with respect to the stockholders’ meeting of BHAC to vote on the business combination and certain other related documents. Investors, securityholders and other interested persons are urged to read the preliminary proxy
statement/prospectus in connection with BHAC’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve the business combination (and related matters) and general amendments thereto and the definitive proxy
statement/prospectus, when available, because the proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about BHAC, XCF and the business combination. When available, BHAC will mail the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant
documents to its stockholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the business combination. This communication is not a substitute for the Registration Statement, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus or any other document
that BHAC will send to its stockholders in connection with the business combination. Once the Registration Statement is declared effective, copies of the Registration Statement, including the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other
documents filed by BHAC, XCF or a newly formed successor entity with the SEC, may be obtained, free of charge, by directing a request to Focus Impact BH3 Acquisition Company, 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10105. The
preliminary and definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be included in the Registration Statement, once available, can also be obtained, without charge, at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
Participants in the Solicitation
BHAC, NewCo and each of their directors, executive officers and other members of management may be deemed to be participants in the
solicitation of proxies of BHAC’s stockholders in connection with the business combination under SEC rules. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of BHAC’s stockholders in
connection with the business combination is included in the Registration Statement and the proxy statement/prospectus included therein, which has been filed with the SEC. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information
regarding the names and interests in the business combination of BHAC’s directors and officers in BHAC’s filings with the SEC and such information is also in the Registration Statement that has been filed with the SEC, which includes the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus of BHAC for the business combination.
XCF and its directors and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the
stockholders of BHAC in connection with the business combination. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the business combination is included in the Registration Statement and the
proxy statement/prospectus included therein, which has been filed with the SEC.
This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to the transfer of BHAC’s Units, Common Stock and Warrants to The Nasdaq Capital Market and
is neither an offer to purchase, nor a solicitation of an offer to sell, subscribe for or buy any securities or the solicitation of any vote in any jurisdiction pursuant to the business combination or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale,
issuance or transfer or securities in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or
an exemption therefrom, and otherwise in accordance with applicable law.
Forward Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the
United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain of these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “assumes,” “may,” “should,” “will,”
“seeks,” or other similar expressions. Such statements may include, but are not limited to, statements regarding BHAC’s expectations regarding the proposed business combination. These statements are based on current expectations on the date of
this Current Report on Form 8-K and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ significantly, including those risks set forth in the Registration Statement filed by NewCo with the SEC on July 31, 2024,
BHAC’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed with the SEC. Copies of such filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. BHAC does not assume any obligation to
update or revise any such forward-looking statements, whether as the result of new developments or otherwise. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
