On April 5, 2023, Focus Impact Acquisition Corp. (“FIAC”) filed
a definitive proxy statement (the “Extension Proxy Statement”) in connection with a special meeting of stockholders to be held on April 24, 2023, to consider and act
upon a proposal to extend the date by which FIAC has to consummate a business combination (the “Termination Date”) from May 1, 2023 to August 1, 2023 (the “Charter Extension Date”) and to allow FIAC, without the need for another stockholder vote, to
elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times, by an additional one month each time, after the Charter Extension Date, by resolution of FIAC’s board of directors (the “Board”), if requested by Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The Extension Proxy Statement was mailed to FIAC’s stockholders of record as of March 23, 2023. Stockholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy Statement at the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov).
As set forth in the Extension Proxy Statement, the deadline by which FIAC public stockholders had to complete the procedures
for electing to redeem their Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), was 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 20, 2023 (“Redemption Deadline”). The initial number of shares tendered for redemption prior to the Redemption Deadline was 18,672,328. The deadline for stockholders to withdraw previously submitted redemption requests is
April 24, 2023, prior to 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, subject to approval by the board of directors of FIAC.
Stockholders may make such request by contacting our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, at One
State Street, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind (e-mail: mzimkind@continentalstock.com).

authorized.
