Other Events.
On
March 2, 2023, Bannix Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that to mitigate
the current uncertainty surrounding the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, in the event that the extension (the “Extension”)
of the time period the Company has to complete an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”) is implemented
as described in the proxy statement filed by the Company in connection with the Meeting on March 8, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”),
Instant Fame, LLC, the current sponsor of the Company, or a designee, will indemnify the Company for any excise tax liabilities with
respect to any future redemption opportunities that are provided after the meeting date of the Special Meeting and prior to or in connection
with a Business Combination or liquidation of the Company. Additionally, if the Extension is implemented, the Company plans to maintain
the remaining amount in its trust account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank. As such, BNIX will not, under any
circumstances, withdraw any amounts from the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account, to pay for the Excise Tax.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors and executive officers
and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in respect of
the Extension. Information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers is available in its annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and
indirect interests are contained in the Proxy Statement.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication 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 jurisdiction in which
the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
No offering 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.
Additional Information
The Company has filed the Proxy Statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in connection with the Meeting and, beginning on February 22, 2023,
mailed the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of February 17, 2023, the record date for the Meeting. The
Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents that
have been or will be filed with the SEC in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for the Meeting because these documents
will contain important information about the Company, the Extension and related matters. Stockholders may also obtain a free copy of the
Proxy Statement, as well as other relevant documents that have been or will be filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s
website located at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to Morrow Sodali LLC at (800) 662-5200 (toll free) or by email
at BNIX.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K and oral statements
made from time to time by representatives of the Company may include “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. All statements other
than statements of historical fact included in this press release are forward-looking statements. When used in this press release, words
such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company or its management
team, identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management,
as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially
from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with
the SEC. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are qualified
in their entirety by this paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control
of the Company, including those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s registration statement and prospectus for
the Company’s initial public offering filed with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions
or changes after the date of this release, except as required by law.
