Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive
Agreement.
As previously
disclosed in the definitive proxy statement filed by Battery Future Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 24, 2023 (the “Proxy Statement”), the Company expects to hold an
extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) to approve, among other proposals, an amendment to the
Company’s amended and restated articles of association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business
combination to June 17, 2024 (the “Extension” and together with all other proposals brought at the Meeting, the “Proposals”)
and remove the need to deposit additional funds into the Company’s trust account to effect such Extension.
On October 30, 2023, the Company and Battery Future
Sponsor LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with unaffiliated
third parties (the “Investors”) in exchange for such Investors agreeing (i) to not redeem an aggregate of 3,563,000 Class
A ordinary shares of the Company (“Class A Ordinary Shares”) sold in its initial public offering (the “Non-Redeemed
Shares”) in connection with the Meeting and (ii) to vote in favor of the Proposals at the Meeting (other than with respect to certain
shares acquired or to be acquired pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements). In exchange for the foregoing commitment to not redeem such
shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to the Investors up to an aggregate of 712,600 Class B ordinary shares of the Company (“Founder
Shares”) held by the Sponsor contemporaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, provided that
the Investors do not exercise their redemption rights with respect to the Non-Redeemed Shares in connection with the Meeting and the Proposals
are approved.
The Non-Redemption Agreements
are expected to increase the likelihood that the Proposals are approved by the Company’s shareholders and to increase the amount
of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Meeting, relative to the amount of funds remaining in the trust
account had the Non-Redemption Agreements not been entered into.
Neither the Sponsor nor the Company’s directors
or executive officers beneficially owned any Class A Ordinary Shares as of October 30, 2023, but such persons may choose to purchase Class
A Ordinary Shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private transactions prior to the Meeting at prices not to exceed the per-share
pro rata portion of the Company’s trust account on October 30, 2023, as described below. In the event that such purchases do occur,
the purchasers may seek to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares from shareholders who would otherwise have elected to redeem their shares.
Any Class A Ordinary Shares so purchased will not be voted in favor of the Proposals. In addition, the Company expects the Investors under
the Non-Redemption Agreements to purchase at least 297,207 Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private
transactions and elect not to redeem such shares in connection with the Meeting. Any such open market and/or privately negotiated purchases
will be effected at purchase prices that are no greater than the per-share pro rata portion of the Company’s trust account on October
30, 2023. Any Class A Ordinary Shares so purchased by the Investors will not be voted in favor of the Proposals.
The per-share pro rata portion of the Company’s
trust account on October 30, 2023 was approximately $10.86 per Class A Ordinary Share. The closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares
on October 30, 2023 was $10.84.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement
does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement filed as Exhibit
10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Forward Looking Statements
The information included
herein may include, 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. Statements regarding likelihood of the approval of Proposals, the number of Non-Redeemed Shares and number of
Founder Shares to be transferred in consideration thereof, the amount of cash in the Company’s trust account or our preliminary
estimated per-share redemption price, as well as all other statements other than statements of historical fact included in this document
are forward-looking statements. When used in this document, 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 us or our management team, identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words
does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well
as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees
of future performance, and actual results could differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements, so undue
reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, risks, and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section
of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), under the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy
Statement”) relating to the Meeting, filed by the Company with the SEC on October 24, 2023, and in other reports filed by the Company
with the SEC. The Company assumes no obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
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
states or jurisdictions in which such 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, or an exemption therefrom.
Additional Information and Where to Find
It
The Company urges investors,
shareholders and other interested persons to read the Proxy Statement as well as other documents filed by the Company with the SEC, because
these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Proposals. Shareholders may obtain copies of the Proxy Statement,
any amendments or supplements thereto and other documents containing important information about the Company, once such documents are
filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by directing a request to the Company’s
proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, at 33 Ludlow Street, 5th Floor, South Tower, Stamford, CT 06902, Toll-Free (800) 662-5200 or (203)
658-9400, Email: BFAC@investor.morrowsodali.com.
Participants in 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 shareholders
in respect of the Proposals. 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 Proxy Statement, which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated above.
