Section
7 - Regulation FD Disclosure
Item
7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
As
previously disclosed, on October 24, 2022, NaturalShrimp Incorporated, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), entered
into a Merger Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”),
by and among the Company, Yotta Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Yotta”), and Yotta Merger Sub, Inc.,
a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Yotta (“Merger Sub”).
The
Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) were approved by the board of directors
of each of the Company, Yotta, and Merger Sub.
The
Merger Agreement provides, among other things, that Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving
company in the merger and, after giving effect to such merger, the Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Yotta (the “Merger”).
In addition, Yotta will be renamed “NaturalShrimp, Incorporated” or such other name as shall be designated by the Company.
On
April 28, 2023, the Company issued a press release in connection with Yotta’s filing of amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
on Form S-4 containing a preliminary proxy statement/information statement/prospectus in connection with the Merger. The press release
is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.
Exhibit
99.1 is being furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 and will not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise be subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will
it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
or the Exchange Act.
Additional
Information
In
connection with the Merger and the other Transactions, Yotta has filed relevant materials with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”) including a registration statement on Form S-4, which includes a prospectus with respect to its common
stock to be issued in connection with the Merger and a proxy statement with respect to the stockholder meeting of Yotta to vote on the
Transactions. Promptly after the registration statement is declared effective by the SEC, Yotta and the Company will mail the definitive
proxy statement/information statement/prospectus to each of their respective stockholders. Investors and securityholders of the Company
and other interested persons are urged to read the preliminary and, when available, the definitive proxy statement/information statement/prospectus
as well as other documents that Yotta and the Company file with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to those documents,
because they contain important information about the Company, Yotta, and the Merger. Once available, stockholders will also be able to
obtain a copy of the Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/information statement/prospectus, and other documents filed
with the SEC without charge, at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov and, with respect to documents filed by the Company, from
the Company’s website at www.naturalshrimp.com.
Participants
in the Solicitation
Yotta
and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from Yotta stockholders with respect
to the Transactions. Information about Yotta’s directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in Yotta and
the Transactions is included in the proxy statement/information statement/prospectus for the Transactions and available at the SEC’s
website (www.sec.gov).
The
Company and its directors and executive officers also may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders
of Yotta in connection with the Transactions. Information about the Company’s directors and executive officers is set forth in
the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC on June 29, 2022, and information
regarding their interests in the Transactions is included in the proxy statement/information statement/prospectus for the Transactions.
Forward
Looking Statements
The
press release incorporated by reference herein contains a number of “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements reflect management’s current views with respect to future events and
are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking
statements for a variety of reasons including: the stability of the financial and capital markets; the Company and Yotta being able to
receive all required third-party and stockholder approvals for the Transactions; the amount of redemptions by Yotta public shareholders;
the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; the outcome
of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the Company or Yotta following announcement of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions;
the risk that the announcement and consummation of the proposed transactions disrupts the Company’s current plans; the ability
to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions; unexpected costs related to the proposed Transactions; the risks that the
consummation of the Transactions is substantially delayed or does not occur, including prior to the date on which Yotta is required to
liquidate under the terms of its charter documents; and those discussed and identified in filings made by the Company and Yotta with
the SEC. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers
are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement and, except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation,
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.
Disclaimer
This
communication does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there
be any sale of securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, exchange, or sale would be unlawful prior to
registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except
by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act.
