Special Meeting Results

At the Special Meeting, the stockholders of FLFV approved to amend FLFV’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Current Charter”) to allow FLFV until March 21, 2024 to consummate an initial business combination and may elect to extend the Combination Deadline up to nine times, each by an additional one-month period (each a “Monthly Extension”), for a total of up to nine months to December 21, 2024, by depositing to FLFV’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) the lesser of (i) $60,000 for all public shares and (ii) $0.035 for each public share for each one-month extension (each such deposit, a “Monthly Extension Payment”).

Merger Agreement Amendment

Pursuant the current Merger Agreement, TPH agreed to provide loans to FLFV to be deposited into the Trust Account as monthly extension payments to extend the deadline for completing the Business Combination under the Current Charter until March 21, 2024.

To afford more time and flexibility to consummate the Business Combination, on March 19, 2024, FLFV and TPH entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which TPH will continue to provide loans to FLFV to be deposited into the Trust Account as Monthly Extension Payments for each Monthly Extension FLFV seeks to consummate the Business Combination, up to June 21, 2024.

In order to extend the Combination Deadline from March 21, 2024 to April 21, 2024, an aggregate of $60,000 Monthly Extension Payment was deposited into the Trust Account on March 19, 2024.
