A total of 35,335,715 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 89.39% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, were present in person or by proxy, constituting a quorum.

Forward-Looking Statements
The information included herein and in any oral statements made in connection herewith include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics and expectations and timing related to potential benefits, terms and timing of the Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified herein, and on the current expectations of BT Assets’, Lux Vending’s and the Company’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of BT Assets, Lux Vending and the Company. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination or that the approval of the stockholders of the Company is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to the combined company; future global, regional or local economic and market conditions; the development, effects and enforcement of laws and regulations; the combined company’s ability to manage future growth; the combined company’s ability to develop new products and services, bring them to market in a timely manner, and make enhancements to its business; the effects of competition on the combined company’s future business; the amount of redemption requests made by the Company’s public stockholders; the ability of the Company or the combined company to issue equity or equity-linked securities in connection with the Business Combination or in the future; the outcome of any potential litigation, government and regulatory proceedings, investigations and inquiries; and those factors described or referenced in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, under the heading “Risk Factors,” and other documents of the Company filed, or to be filed, from time to time with the SEC, including the definitive proxy statement. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of BT Assets, Lux Vending or the Company presently knows or that BT Assets, Lux Vending and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect BT Assets’, Lux Vending’s and the Company’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. BT Assets, Lux Vending and the Company anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause BT Assets’, Lux Vending’s and the Company’s assessments to change. However, while BT Assets, Lux Vending and the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, BT Assets, Lux Vending and the Company specifically disclaim any obligation to do so except as otherwise required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing BT Assets’, Lux Vending’s and the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date hereof. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
