The following contains communications Blaize, Inc. (“Blaize”) made to its external audience via email on December 22, 2023.

 

Dear Blaize Community,  

 

Blaize has been considering various options for fundraising over the last several months.  

 

Following extensive discussions and thoughtful consideration of our various options, we are announcing today that we will combine with a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company (commonly referred to as a SPAC) called BurTech Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: BRKH) (“BurTech”) – please read the joint press release issued by Burkhan and Blaize today to learn more. Upon closing the proposed transaction, Blaize will become a publicly traded company, expected to be listed on Nasdaq under a new ticker symbol. The proposed transaction values Blaize at a pro forma enterprise value of $894 million.

 

We considered various options for maximizing Blaize's shareholder value, including raising fresh capital via private and traditional public market alternatives. After considering these alternatives, we chose to pursue a SPAC process as it allows us to raise capital quickly while providing a streamlined path to a public company and giving existing shareholders a clear path to achieve liquidity. 

 

This is a tremendous opportunity for our company. We would not be in this position without the hard work and support of our investors and employees, who have helped us build this company into what it is today. We are beyond grateful to you all for your part in this. 

 

The opportunity before us represents a leveling-up in all respects. We are hard at work preparing for this new chapter as a public company.

 

We appreciate that there will be a lot of questions, and we look forward to answering them as further details become public.

 

Thank you for your support and faith in us for all these years. We are excited about what's ahead.

Forward-Looking Statements Legend

 

This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to BurTech and Blaize. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the following words: “may,” “will,” “could,” “would,” “should,” “expect,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “potential,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “target,” “seek” or the negative or plural of these words, or other similar expressions that are predictions or indicate future events or prospects, although not all forward-looking statements contain these words. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this document, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of BurTech’s securities; (ii) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by BurTech’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by BurTech; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of the Business Combination by BurTech’s stockholders, the satisfaction of the minimum aggregate transaction proceeds amount following redemptions by BurTech’s public stockholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) the failure to obtain financing to complete the Business Combination and to support the future working capital needs of Blaize and the combined company; (v) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the Business Combination on Blaize’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (vi) risks that the Business Combination disrupts current plans of Blaize and potential difficulties in the retention of Blaize as a result of the Business Combination; (vii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against BurTech or Blaize related to the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination; (viii) changes to the proposed structure of the Business Combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Business Combination; (ix) the ability to maintain the listing of BurTech’s securities on Nasdaq; (x) the price of BurTech’s securities, including volatility resulting from changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Blaize operates, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Blaize’s business and changes in the combined capital structure; (xi) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination, including the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in development programs, and the ability to identify and realize additional opportunities; (xii) the enforceability of Blaize’s intellectual property, including its patents, and the potential infringement on the intellectual property rights of others, cyber security risks or potential breaches of data security; (xiii) the incurrence of significant expenses to remediate, or damage to Blaize’s reputation as a result of, any defects in Blaize’s products; and (xiv) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in BurTech’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K that are available on the website of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) at www.sec.gov and other documents filed, or to be filed with the SEC by BurTech, including the Registration Statement. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. There may be additional risks that neither BurTech nor Blaize presently know or that BurTech or Blaize currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the definitive proxy statement to be filed by BurTech with the SEC, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and other documents filed by BurTech from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and BurTech and Blaize assume no obligation and, except as required by law, do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Neither BurTech nor Blaize gives any assurance that either BurTech or Blaize will achieve its expectations.
