TRUGOLF,

AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION AND MAILING OF DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT
SALT
LAKE CITY, January 12, 2024 – TruGolf, Inc. (“TruGolf”), a leading golf simulator manufacturer and distributor
with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Deep Medicine Acquisition Corp. (“DMAQ”), a publicly traded special purpose
acquisition company, today announced that on December 27, 2023, that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”)
has declared effective the registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC
related to the previously announced business combination among TruGolf and DMAQ (the “Business Combination”). DMAQ has also
filed with the SEC the definitive proxy statement for its special meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to, among
other things, approve the Business Combination, which was first announced on March 31, 2023.
“The
National Golf Foundation reported an estimated 6.2 million Americans hit golf balls in a simulator within the past year, a figure that
has surged by 73% in comparison to 2019,” said Lindsay Jones, TruGolf’s Chief Financial Officer. “The combination with
DMAQ provides immediate access to the growth capital required to leverage this growth, while helping fuel the marketing efforts surrounding
the release of our newest hardware and software, which will be in full display at the PGA Show in Orlando on January 23-26.”
The
Business Combination values TruGolf at an $80 million equity value and is expected to close by the end January 2024, subject to shareholder
approvals and other closing conditions that are set forth in the Registration Statement.
The
entry into a definitive merger agreement was announced on March 31, 2023, and the amended and restated merger agreement (the “Merger
Agreement”) was announced on July 24, 2023. The combined company is expected to be renamed TruGolf Holdings, Inc.

Statements
The
information in this press release contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor”
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the proposed Business Combination. These forward-looking

“estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “plan,”
“may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,”
“will likely result” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
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. Actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates
and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Many factors

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 DMAQ’s securities; (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the

financial information for an accurate estimate of future capital expenditures and future revenue (vii) statements regarding TruGolf’s
industry and market size, (viii) financial condition and performance of TruGolf, including the anticipated benefits, the implied enterprise
value, the expected financial impacts of the Business Combination, potential level of redemptions of DMAQ’s public stockholders,
the financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, the products, the expected future performance and market opportunities of
TruGolf, and (ix) those factors discussed in DMAQ’s filings with the SEC and contained in the definitive proxy statement / prospectus
relating to the Business Combination. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that
are described in the “Risk Factors” section of the definitive proxy statement / prospectus and other documents to be filed
by DMAQ 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 while TruGolf and DMAQ
may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise these
