The
purpose of the Extraordinary General Meeting will be to consider and vote on the following proposals:
|
1. |
Proposal
1 – To approve, by special resolution, an amendment to Article 35.2 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company currently in effect
(the “Articles”) to insert the words “,
or, if such trust agreement has been amended, in that trust agreement, as amended from time to time, in accordance with its terms”
after the words “and referred to in the Registration Statement” in that Article (the “Article Amendment Proposal”); |
|
|
|
|
2. |
Proposal
2 – To approve an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated
December 1, 2023 (the “Trust Agreement”), entered into by and between
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (the “Trustee”)
and the Company governing the trust account established in connection with the Company’s
initial public offering (“IPO”), to amend the amount of funds to be deposited
by our sponsor, Aimei Investment Ltd (the “Sponsor”) into the trust
account in connection with extending the timeframe within which the
Company must consummate its initial business combination, from $0.033 per Public Share (as
defined below) (for each monthly extension) to an amount equal to $60,000 for all outstanding
Public Shares (for each monthly extension) (the “Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal ”);
|
|
|
|
|
3. |
Proposal 3
– To approve, by ordinary resolution, the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP to
serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending
December 31, 2023 and approve the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP to serve as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 (the
“Auditor Appointment Proposal”); and
|
|
|
|
|
4. |
Proposal
4 – To approve, by ordinary resolution, to direct the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting to adjourn the
Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event
there are not sufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the foregoing proposals (the “Adjournment
Proposal”). |
Each
of the Article Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the Auditor Appointment Proposal, and the Adjournment
Proposal (together the “Proposals”) is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. Each of the Proposals
is not conditioned upon the approval of any other Proposal. Please take the time to read carefully each of the Proposals in the accompanying
proxy statement before you vote.
The
Articles and the Trust Agreement provide that the Company has until 12 months from the closing of its IPO (“Combination Period”)
to consummate its initial business combination (namely, until December 6, 2024). The Articles and the Trust Agreement also provide that
if the board of directors (the “Board”) anticipates that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination
within the Combination Period, we may, by resolution of the Board if requested by our Sponsor, extend the Combination Period up to twelve
(12) times each for an additional one month (each, a “Monthly Extension”) from December 6, 2024 (i.e., 12 months after
the consummation of the IPO) up to December 6, 2025 (i.e., 24 months after the consummation of the IPO) subject to the Sponsor depositing
additional funds into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established pursuant to the Trust Agreement, in accordance
with the terms set out in that agreement and referred to in the Registration Statement (as that term is defined in the Articles).
The monthly extension fee (namely, $0.033 per Public Share) was deposited into the Trust Account (“Initial Contribution”)
in accordance with the current terms of the Trust Agreement, to extend the Combination Period by two additional months (i.e., from December
6, 2024 to February 6, 2025). If the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved by the shareholders, to effectuate each of the subsequent
Monthly Extensions, the Sponsor will be required to deposit $60,000 for all remaining Public Shares into the Trust Account, for each
Monthly Extension (the “Amended Monthly Extension Fee”). Each subsequent Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to
the extent the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, must be deposited into the
Trust Account by the sixth of each succeeding month until November 6, 2025 (the Initial Contribution and each deposited Amended Monthly
Extension Fee, together “Contributions”) to effect each additional Monthly Extension. The amount of the Contributions
will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination.
The
purpose of the Article Amendment Proposal is to provide the Company with greater flexibility and the potential to reduce the costs associated
with the initial business combination as disclosed in our current filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The Board believes that the approval of Article Amendment Proposal is necessary to facilitate the consummation of the initial business
combination. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to give effect to the proposed amendment
to the Articles and recommends our shareholders approve and adopt the Article Amendment Proposal.
The
purpose of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is to provide the Sponsor with an incentive and lessen the Sponsor’s burden to
fund the fees for each Monthly Extension that may be required for the Company to complete an initial business combination
by or before December 6, 2025, which will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in such initial business combination.
The Board believes that the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is necessary in order to be able to consummate an initial business combination
within the Combination Period. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to give effect to
the proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement and recommends our shareholders approve and adopt the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal.
The purpose of the Auditor Appointment
Proposal is to give our shareholders the opportunity to ratify the selection by our audit committee of MaloneBailey, LLP as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and approve the engagement
of MaloneBailey, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.
The Board recommends our shareholders approve and adopt the Auditor Appointment Proposal.
The
purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to direct the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting to adjourn the Extraordinary General
Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient
votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the foregoing proposals. The Board recommends our shareholders approve
and adopt the Adjournment Proposal.
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, Aimei Health will offer to
redeem its ordinary shares sold in its IPO (“Public Shares”). No redemption of Public Shares shall be offered in the event
that the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved. Holders (“Public Shareholders”) of Aimei Health’s
Public Shares may elect to redeem their Public Shares for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount
of the funds available in the Trust Account, including interest earned but net of taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Shares, upon the approval of the Article Amendment Proposal by a special resolution of our shareholders (the “Election”).
A Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares regardless of how such Public Shareholder voted in regard to the Proposals,
or whether they were holders of Aimei Health’s ordinary shares on the Record Date (defined further below) or acquired
such shares after such date. If the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by our shareholders, Aimei Health will offer to
redeem the Public Shares held by the Public Shareholders electing to be redeemed, provided that Aimei Health shall not redeem ordinary
shares held by our initial shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such offer, whether
or not such holders accept such offer, in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Articles. If the Article Amendment Proposal is
duly approved, Public Shareholders who do not make the Election will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares for cash, on a
pro rata basis at a per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount of the funds available in the Trust Account on the date that is two
Business Days prior to the consummation of a business combination, including interest earned but net of taxes payable, divided by the
number of then outstanding Public Shares. In addition, if the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved, Public Shareholders
who do not make the Election will be entitled to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash, on a pro-rata basis, at a price per share
amount equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (including interest not previously released to us, which shall be
net of taxes payable, and less interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, if the
Company has not completed the business combination by December 6, 2025, or by an earlier date if the Sponsor does not deposit
the monthly extension fee required for the monthly extensions (the “Termination Date”).
To
exercise your redemption rights upon approval of the Article Amendment Proposal, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer
agent at least two business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting (or January 29, 2025). You may tender your shares by either
delivering your share certificates to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s
DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or
other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.
The
per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account, including interest earned but net of taxes payable, was approximately $[●] per
Public Share as of December 23, 2024 (“Record Date”). The closing price of Aimei Health’s shares on [●]
was $[●]. Aimei Health cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares of Aimei Health in the open
market, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when shareholders wish to sell their Public Shares.
The
approval of the Article Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution which requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of
the votes cast by the shareholders who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled
to vote on such matter, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The
approval of each of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the Auditor Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires
an ordinary resolution which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders who, being present
in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The
Board has fixed the close of business on December 23, 2024 as the Record Date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice
of and to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Only holders of record of Aimei Health’s ordinary shares on that date are
entitled to notice of and to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
After
careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Article Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment
Proposal, the Auditor Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of Aimei Health
and its shareholders, has declared them advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” all the
foregoing Proposals.
Enclosed
is the proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Proposals and Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you
plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.
We
look forward to seeing you at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

After

Why
is the Company proposing the Proposals? |
|
The
existing Article 35.2 provides “The Company has until 12 months from the closing of
the IPO to consummate a Business Combination, provided however that if the board of directors
anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within
12 months of the closing of the IPO, the Company may, by resolution of directors if requested
by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve
times, each by an additional one month (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business
Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account in
accordance with terms as set out in the trust agreement governing the Trust Account and referred
to in the Registration Statement. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business
Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO or within up to 24 months from the
closing of the IPO (subject in the latter case to valid 1 month extensions having been made
in each case (such date falling 12 months or up to 24 months, as applicable, after the closing
of the IPO being referred to as the Termination Date)), such failure shall trigger
an automatic redemption of the Public Shares (an Automatic Redemption Event) and the
directors of the Company shall take all such action necessary to (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more
than five (5) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to the holders of Public
Shares, on a pro rata basis, in cash at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share
Redemption Price; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Automatic Redemption
Event, subject to the approval of our remaining Members and our directors, liquidate and
dissolve the Company, subject to the Company’s obligations under the Act to provide
for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of an
Automatic Redemption Event, only the holders of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive
pro rata redeeming distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Public Shares.”
The
proposed amendment to Article 35.2 is to insert “, or, if such trust agreement has been amended, in that trust agreement, as
amended from time to time, in accordance with its terms” after “and referred to in the Registration Statement”
so that Article 35.2 will be amended to provide as follows: “The Company has until 12 months from the closing of the IPO to
consummate a Business Combination, provided however that if the board of directors anticipates that the Company may not be able to
consummate a Business Combination within 12 months of the closing of the IPO, the Company may, by resolution of directors if requested
by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve times, each by an additional one month
(for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the
Trust Account in accordance with terms as set out in the trust agreement governing the Trust Account and referred to in the Registration
Statement, or, if such trust agreement has been amended, in that trust agreement, as amended from time to time, in accordance with
its terms. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO
or within up to 24 months from the closing of the IPO (subject in the latter case to valid 1 month extensions having been made in
each case (such date falling 12 months or up to 24 months, as applicable, after the closing of the IPO being referred to as the Termination
Date)), such failure shall trigger an automatic redemption of the Public Shares (an Automatic Redemption Event) and the
directors of the Company shall take all such action necessary to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up (ii)
as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five (5) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to the holders
of Public Shares, on a pro rata basis, in cash at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; and (iii)
as promptly as reasonably possible following such Automatic Redemption Event, subject to the approval of our remaining Members and
our directors, liquidate and dissolve the Company, subject to the Company’s obligations under the Act to provide for claims
of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of an Automatic Redemption Event, only the holders of Public
Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata redeeming distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Public Shares.”

|
|
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by a special resolution of our shareholders,
Aimei Health will offer to redeem the Public Shares held by the Public Shareholders electing
to be redeemed, and shall not redeem ordinary shares held by our initial shareholders or
their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such offer, whether
or not such holders accept such offer, in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Articles.
No redemption of Public Shares shall be offered in the event that the Article Amendment Proposal
is not approved.
The
Articles and the Trust Agreement provide that the Company has until 12 months from the closing
of its IPO to consummate our initial business combination (i.e., until December 6, 2024).
The Articles and the Trust Agreement also provide that if the Board anticipates that we may
not be able to consummate our initial business combination within the Combination Period,
we may, by resolution of the Board if requested by our Sponsor, extend the Combination Period
up to twelve (12) times each for an additional one month from December 6, 2024 (i.e., 12
months after the consummation of the IPO) up to December 6, 2025 (i.e., 24 months after the
consummation of the IPO), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust
Account established pursuant to the Trust Agreement, in accordance with the terms set out
in that agreement and referred to in the Registration Statement (as that term is defined
in the Articles). The monthly extension fee, namely, $0.033 per Public Share, was deposited
into the Trust Account, in accordance with the current terms of the Trust Agreement, to extend
the Combination Period by two additional months (i.e., from December 6, 2024 to February
6, 2025).
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved by the shareholders, to effectuate each
of the subsequent Monthly Extensions, the Sponsor will be required to deposit $60,000 for
all remaining Public Shares into the Trust Account, for each Monthly Extension. Each subsequent
Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal
is approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, must be deposited into the Trust Account
by the sixth of each succeeding month to effect each additional Monthly Extension
until November 6, 2025.
If the Auditor Appointment Proposal is approved by the shareholders,
the selection of MaloneBailey, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal
year ending December 31, 2023 will be ratified and the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered
public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be approved.
If the Adjournment Proposal is approved
by the shareholders, the Company will be allowed more time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the foregoing proposals, in the
event there are not sufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the foregoing proposals.
|
|
|
|
Why
should I vote for the Proposals? |
|
The
Board believes that the approval of Article Amendment Proposal will provide the Company with greater flexibility and the potential
to reduce the costs associated with the initial business combination as disclosed in our current filings with the SEC. The Board
believes that the approval of Article Amendment Proposal is necessary to facilitate the consummation of the initial business combination.
Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to give effect to the proposed amendment to the
Articles and recommends our shareholders approve and adopt the Article Amendment Proposal. |
|
|
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, Aimei Health will offer to redeem the
Public Shares held by the Public Shareholders electing to be redeemed in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Articles. No redemption
of Public Shares shall be offered in the event that the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved.
The
Board believes that the approval of Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal will provide the Sponsor with an incentive and lessen the
Sponsor’s burden to fund the fees for each Monthly Extension that may be required for the Company to complete
an initial business combination by or before December 6, 2025, which will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate
in such initial business combination. The Board believes that the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is necessary in order to be
able to consummate an initial business combination within the Combination Period. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is
in the best interests of the Company to give effect to the proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement and recommends our shareholders
approve and adopt the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal.
The purpose of the Auditor Appointment Proposal
is to give our shareholders the opportunity to ratify the selection by our audit committee of MaloneBailey, LLP as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and approve the engagement
of MaloneBailey, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.
However, if our shareholders do not approve the selection of MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for
the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, the Board and audit
committee may reconsider the selection of MaloneBailey, LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. MaloneBailey, LLP has
served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm since 2023. The Board recommends our shareholders approve
and adopt the Auditor Appointment Proposal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the chairman
will not be able to adjourn the Shareholder Meeting to a later date or dates to approve the
foregoing proposals. The Board recommends our shareholders approve and adopt the Adjournment
Proposal.

How

Aimei Health’s directors, executive officers, its Sponsor and their respective affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled
to vote 1,725,000 Founder Shares and 332,000 Private Units, representing approximately 22.79% of Aimei Health’s issued and
outstanding ordinary shares.
Aimei
Health’s directors, executive officers, its Sponsor and their respective affiliates may choose to buy Public Shares in the
open market and/or through negotiated private purchases. In the event that purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase
Public Shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Proposals. Any Public Shares held by or subsequently
purchased by affiliates of Aimei Health may be voted in favor of the Proposals. |
What
if I do not want to vote “FOR” the Proposals? |
|
If
you do not want the Article Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal,
the Auditor Appointment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal to be approved, you may
“ABSTAIN,” not vote, or vote “AGAINST” such proposal.
If
you attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy, you may vote “AGAINST” any of the Proposals, and
your ordinary shares will be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Proposals are approved.
However,
if you fail to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy, or if you do attend the Extraordinary General Meeting
in person or by proxy but you “ABSTAIN” or otherwise fail to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, your ordinary
shares will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether each of the Article Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement
Amendment Proposal, the Auditor Appointment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal is approved, and your ordinary shares which
are not voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of such vote. |
|
|
|
How
do I change my vote? |
|
If
you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy
card so as to be received at least 48 hours prior to the time for holding the Extraordinary General Meeting, or by voting in person
or online at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Attendance at the Extraordinary General Meeting alone will not change your vote.
You must follow the voting instructions included with the enclosed proxy card. |
If
my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker automatically vote them for me? |
|
No.
Broker non-votes occur when beneficial owners do not give voting instructions to their brokers
and the brokers lack the discretionary authority to vote on the proposal. If you are a beneficial
owner and do not give instructions to your broker, the broker will determine if it has the
discretionary authority to vote on the particular matter.
Under
the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, which are also applicable to companies listed on the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”),
brokers have the discretion to vote on routine matters such as ratifying the appointment of external auditors, but do not have discretion
to vote on non-routine matters such as the election of directors and approving equity awards plans. We believe that each of the Article
Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is a “non-routine” item. Your broker can vote your shares with
respect to “non-routine items” only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote
your shares. Your broker can tell you how to provide these instructions. If you do not give your broker instructions, your shares
will be treated as broker non-votes, which will be counted for purposes of calculating whether a quorum is present at the meeting
but will not be treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Article Amendment Proposal or the Trust Agreement Amendment
Proposal. |
|
What
is a quorum requirement? |
|
A
quorum of shareholders is necessary to hold a valid Extraordinary General Meeting. A quorum
will be present for the Extraordinary General Meeting if the holders of a majority of the
issued and outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy (or if a shareholder is a
corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy)
at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
We
will include abstentions and broker non-votes to determine whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If a
quorum is not present within 15 minutes of the time appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting, or if at any time during the
meeting it becomes inquorate, then the meeting will automatically be adjourned to the same time and place seven days hence, or to
such other time or place as is determined by the directors. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes of the time appointed for
the adjourned meeting, then the meeting shall be dissolved. |
What
vote is required to adopt each Proposal and how are votes counted? |
|
The
approval of the Article Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution which requires the
affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes cast by the shareholders, who, being
present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled
to vote on such matter, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
The
approval of each of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the Auditor Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal
requires an ordinary resolution which requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders who,
being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General
Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal will only be put forth for a vote if there are not sufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection
with, the approval of the Article Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
For
purposes of the Article Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal,
abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast
at the Extraordinary General Meeting and will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Article Amendment Proposal or the
Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal.
For
purposes of the Auditor Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, abstentions (but not broker non-votes), while considered
present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting and will have
no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Adjournment Proposal. |
|
Who
can vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting? |
|
Only
holders of record of Aimei Health’s ordinary shares at the close of business on the
Record Date are entitled to have their vote counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.
On the Record Date, 9,026,000 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote.
Shareholder
of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the Record Date, your shares were registered directly in your name with Aimei
Health’s Transfer Agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder
of record, you may vote in person or online at the Extraordinary General Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend
the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible so that it is received
not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the Extraordinary General Meeting to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial
Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the Record Date, your shares were held, not in your name, but
rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares
held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner,
you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend
the Extraordinary General Meeting in person. However, since you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares online
or in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent. |
Does
the Board recommend voting for the approval of the Proposals? |
|
Yes.
After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of these Proposals, the Board has
determined that the Article Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal,
the Auditor Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best commercial
interests of Aimei Health. The Board recommends that Aimei Health’s shareholders vote
“FOR” for the Article Amendment Proposal, the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal,
the Auditor Appointment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
|
|
|
|
What
interests do the Company’s sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the proposals? |
|
Aimei
Health’s directors, officers, its Sponsor and their respective affiliates have interests in the Proposals that may be different
from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include direct or indirect ownership of certain securities
of the Company. See the section entitled “The Article Amendment Proposal — Interests of Aimei Health’s Sponsor,
Directors and Officers.” |
|
|
|
Do
I have appraisal rights if I object to the Proposals? |
|
Our
shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with any of the Proposals under Cayman Islands law. |
|
|
|
If
the Article Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are not approved, what happens next? |
|
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved, we will not offer to redeem the Public Shares
held by the Public Shareholders in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Articles and
we may have less flexibility to consummate the initial business combination. Public Shareholders
will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares for cash, on a pro-rata basis at a
per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount of the funds available in the Trust Account
on the date that is two Business Days prior to the consummation of a business combination,
including interest earned but net of taxes payable, divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Shares, or to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash, on a pro-rata basis, at
a price per share amount equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account (including
interest not previously released to us, which shall be net of taxes payable, and less interest
to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, if
the Company has not completed the business combination by the Termination Date.
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is not approved, the ability to extend the time frame to consummate the initial business combination
is contingent upon our Sponsor depositing into the Trust Account the required amount of funds for each Monthly Extension (i.e., $0.033
per Public Share) in accordance with the current terms of the Trust Agreement. |
If
the Article Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next? |
|
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by a special resolution of our shareholders,
Aimei Health will proceed to effect the proposed amendment and offer to redeem the Public
Shares held by the Public Shareholders electing to be redeemed, and shall not redeem
ordinary shares held by our initial shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or
officers of the Company pursuant to such offer, whether or not such holders accept such offer,
in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Articles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved, our Sponsor will be required to deposit the Amended Monthly Extension Fee, equal
to $60,000 for all remaining Public Shares into the Trust Account, for each Monthly Extension, to extend the date which the Company
must consummate its initial business combination. |
What
do I need to do now? |
|
Aimei
Health urges you to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement and to consider how the Proposals
will affect you as a Aimei Health shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided
in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card. |
|
|
|
How
do I vote? |
|
If
you are a holder of record of Aimei Health’s ordinary shares, you may vote in person or online at the Extraordinary General
Meeting or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General
Meeting in person or online, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. You may submit your proxy by completing,
signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage-paid envelope so that it is received
not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may still attend the Extraordinary General
Meeting and vote in person or online if you have already voted by proxy. If your ordinary shares of Aimei Health are held in “street
name” by a broker or other agent, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your
account. You are also invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or online. However, since you are not the shareholder
of record, you may not vote your shares in person or online at the Extraordinary General Meeting unless you request and obtain a
valid proxy from your broker or other agent. |
|
How
do I exercise my redemption rights? |
|
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by special resolution of our shareholders,
each Public Shareholder may seek to redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares at a per-share
price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account,
including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number
of then outstanding Public Shares. You will also be able to redeem your Public Shares in
connection with any shareholder vote to approve a proposed business combination, or if the
Company has not consummated a business combination by December 6, 2025, or by an earlier
date if the Sponsor does not deposit the monthly extension fee required for the monthly extensions.
In order to exercise your redemption rights in connection with the Article Amendment
Proposal, you must, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 29, 2025 (two business days
before the Extraordinary General Meeting) tender your shares physically or electronically
and submit a request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:
Continental
Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1
State Street Plaza, 30th Floor
New
York, New York 10004
Attn:
SPAC Redemption Team
E-mail:
spacredemptions@continentalstock.com
The
redemption rights include the requirement that a shareholder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its
legal name, phone number and address in order to validly redeem its Public Shares. |
What
should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |
|
You
may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or
voting instruction cards, if your shares are registered in more than one name or are registered in different accounts. For example,
if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage
account in which you hold shares. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive
so that it is received not less than 48 hours before the time for holding the Extraordinary General Meeting, in order to cast a vote
with respect to all of your ordinary shares of Aimei Health. |

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
This proxy statement contains statements that
are forward-looking and as such are not historical facts. These include, without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s
financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, including as they relate to a
business combination. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees
of performance. They involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results,
performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed
or implied by these statements.
Such statements can be identified by the fact
that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this proxy statement, words such as “anticipate,”
“believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,”
“may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,”
“should,” “strive,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements,
but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. When the Company discusses its strategies or plans,
including as they relate to a business combination, it is making projections, forecasts or forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements
are based on the opinions, estimates and beliefs of the Company’s management as of the date such statements are made, as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company’s management, and they are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements
to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to:
|
● |
our ability to obtain approval for the Proposals; |
|
|
|
|
● |
our ability to complete the initial business combination; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the amount of redemptions by our public shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the market price and liquidity of our public securities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
the per-share redemption price; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
the Trust Account being subject to claims of third parties. |
Additional information on these and other factors
that may cause actual results and the Company’s performance to differ materially is included in the IPO Prospectus and the Company’s
periodic reports filed with the SEC, including but not limited to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2023, including those factors described under the “Item 1A. Risk Factors” therein, the
Company’s subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, this proxy statement and other reports filed by Aimei Health with the
SEC. Copies of the Company’s filings with the SEC are available publicly on SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov or
may be obtained by contacting the Company.
Many of the risks and factors that will determine
these results and shareholders’ value are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these
risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from
those projected in these forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements,
which speak only as of the date made.
All forward-looking statements are made
only as of the date of this proxy statement. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates
or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard
thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based. All subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements
attributable to us or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are qualified in their entirety by this “Forward-Looking Statements”
section.
BACKGROUND
We
are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability for the purpose of entering into a
merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one
or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this document as our initial business combination.
On
December 6, 2023, we consummated our IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Public Units”). Each Public Unit consists of one
ordinary share, $0.0001 par value, and one right (“Public Right”) to receive one-fifth (1/5) of one ordinary share
upon the consummation of an initial business combination. The Public Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating
gross proceeds of $60,000,000. Pursuant to that certain underwriting agreement, dated December 1, 2023, we granted Spartan Capital Securities,
LLC, the representative of the underwriters, a 45-day option to purchase up to an additional 900,000 Public Units (over and above the
6,000,000 units referred to above) solely to cover over-allotments, if any (the “Over-Allotment Option”). Simultaneously
with the consummation of our IPO, the underwriters exercised the Over-Allotment Option in full, generating total proceeds of $9,000,000.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO on December 6, 2023, we consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) with our
Sponsor, Aimei Investment Ltd, of 332,000 units (the “Private Units”), generating total proceeds of $3,320,000. The
Private Units are identical to the Public Units sold in our IPO, except that the Private Units (including the underlying securities)
may not, subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned, or sold by it until six months after the completion of our
initial business combination.
On
December 6, 2023, a total of $69,690,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of Units in the IPO and the Private Placement, were placed
in a U.S.-based trust account at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. This amount was comprised of proceeds of
$69,000,000 in gross proceeds (which amount includes $690,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) from the IPO (including the
proceeds received from the exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option), and a total of $3,320,000 in gross proceeds for
the sale of the Private Units, offset by $1,930,000 in total offering expenses and $700,000 in use of proceeds not held in the Trust
Account, which became available to be used to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations,
and continuing general and administrative expenses.
On
December 3, 2023, the Units commenced trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “AFJKU.” Commencing January 22, 2024, the Company’s
ordinary shares and Rights are separately traded on Nasdaq under the symbols “AFJK” and “AFJKR,” respectively.
On
June 19, 2024, Aimei Health entered into a definitive Business Combination Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) for
a business combination with (i) United Hydrogen Group Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands
(“United Hydrogen”), (ii) United Hydrogen Global Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in
the Cayman Islands (“Pubco”), (iii) United Hydrogen Victor Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited
liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco; (iv) United Hydrogen Worldwide Limited, an exempted company incorporated
with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco; and (v) Aimei
Investment Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company, in the capacity as, from and after the closing of the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), the representative for Aimei Health and its shareholders (the “Sponsor”).
The merger involves multiple steps and will result in the cancellation and conversion of various shares into Pubco’s Class A and
Class B ordinary shares. After the Closing, Aimei Health will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco. The deal is expected to close
in early 2025, subject to various conditions, including shareholder approvals and regulatory clearances. A press release announcing the
merger agreement was also issued.
The
mailing address of Aimei Health’s principal executive office is 10 East 53rd Street, Suite 3001, New York, NY 10022, and its telephone
number is +34 678 035200.
You
are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Article Amendment Proposal is approved and you do not elect
to redeem your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination if and when it is submitted to shareholders
and the right to redeem your Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in the event such business combination
is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Termination Date.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should consider carefully all of the risks described in our final prospectus for our IPO as filed with the SEC on December 5, 2023, the
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on March 25, 2024 and in the other reports
we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the events described in our final prospectus
or other reports filed with the SEC occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected
or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your
investment. The risks and uncertainties described in our final prospectus and other reports are not the only ones we face. Additional
risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that
adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.
PROPOSAL
1 — THE ARTICLE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
The
existing Article 35.2 of the Company’s current articles of association provides “The Company has until 12 months from the
closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination, provided however that if the board of directors anticipates that the Company
may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months of the closing of the IPO, the Company may, by resolution of directors
if requested by the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve times, each by an additional
one month (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into
the Trust Account in accordance with terms as set out in the trust agreement governing the Trust Account and referred to in the Registration
Statement. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO or within
up to 24 months from the closing of the IPO (subject in the latter case to valid 1 month extensions having been made in each case (such
date falling 12 months or up to 24 months, as applicable, after the closing of the IPO being referred to as the Termination Date)),
such failure shall trigger an automatic redemption of the Public Shares (an Automatic Redemption Event) and the directors of the
Company shall take all such action necessary to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up (ii) as promptly as reasonably
possible but no more than five (5) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to the holders of Public Shares, on a pro rata
basis, in cash at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible
following such Automatic Redemption Event, subject to the approval of our remaining Members and our directors, liquidate and dissolve
the Company, subject to the Company’s obligations under the Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other
applicable law. In the event of an Automatic Redemption Event, only the holders of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata
redeeming distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Public Shares.”
The
proposed amendment to Article 35.2 is to insert “,or, if such trust agreement has been amended, in that trust agreement, as amended
from time to time, in accordance with its terms” after “and referred to in the Registration Statement” so that Article
35.2 will be amended to provide as follows: “The Company has until 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business
Combination, provided however that if the board of directors anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination
within 12 months of the closing of the IPO, the Company may, by resolution of directors if requested by the Sponsor, extend the period
of time to consummate a Business Combination up to twelve times, each by an additional one month (for a total of up to 24 months to complete
a Business Combination), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account in accordance with terms as set out
in the trust agreement, governing the Trust Account and referred to in the Registration Statement, or, if such trust agreement
has been amended, in that trust agreement, as amended from time to time, in accordance with its terms. In the event that the
Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO or within up to 24 months from the closing
of the IPO (subject in the latter case to valid 1 month extensions having been made in each case (such date falling 12 months or up to
24 months, as applicable, after the closing of the IPO being referred to as the Termination Date)), such failure shall trigger
an automatic redemption of the Public Shares (an Automatic Redemption Event) and the directors of the Company shall take all such
action necessary to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more
than five (5) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to the holders of Public Shares, on a pro rata basis, in cash at a
per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Automatic
Redemption Event, subject to the approval of our remaining Members and our directors, liquidate and dissolve the Company, subject to
the Company’s obligations under the Act to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the
event of an Automatic Redemption Event, only the holders of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata redeeming distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to their Public Shares.”
The
Board’s Reasons for the Article Amendment Proposal
The
Board believes that the approval of Article Amendment Proposal will provide the Company with greater flexibility and the potential to
reduce the costs associated with the initial business combination as disclosed in our current filings with the SEC. The Board believes
that the approval of Article Amendment Proposal is necessary to facilitate the consummation of the initial business combination. Therefore,
the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to give effect to the proposed amendment to the Articles and
recommends our shareholders approve and adopt the Article Amendment Proposal.
The
Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Article Amendment Proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” such
adoption. The Board expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Article Amendment
Proposal.
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is Not Approved
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, we will not offer to redeem the Public
Shares held by the Public Shareholders in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Company’s Articles and we may have less flexibility
to consummate the initial business combination. If the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved by a special resolution of our shareholders,
Public Shareholders will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust
Account upon consummation of a business combination, or to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed
the business combination by the Termination Date.
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Sponsor does not agree to implement any of the additional monthly extensions in
accordance with the current terms of the trust agreement governing the Trust Account and referred to in the Registration Statement, the
Board will take all such action necessary to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up (ii) as promptly as reasonably
possible but not more than five (5) Business Days (as that term is defined in the Articles) thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to
the holders of the Public Shares, on a pro rata basis, in cash at a per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in
the Trust Account (including interest not previously released to the Company, which shall be net of taxes payable, and less interest
to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following
such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve the Company, subject to
the Company’s obligations under the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands, including any statutory modification or re-enactment
thereof for the time being in force, to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of
such redemption, only the holders of the Public Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata redeeming provisions from the Trust Account
with respect to their Public Shares).
The
holders of the Founder Shares and Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their Founder Shares
or Private Units, until all of the claims of any redeeming shareholders and creditors are fully satisfied (and then only from funds held
outside the trust account). The Company will pay the costs of liquidating the trust account from the up to $50,000 of interest earned
on the funds held in the trust account that is available to us for liquidation expenses.
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is Approved
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, Aimei Health will proceed with effecting
the proposed amendment to the Articles and offer to redeem the Public Shares held by the Public Shareholders electing to be redeemed,
and shall not redeem ordinary shares held by our initial shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company
pursuant to such offer, whether or not such holders accept such offer, in accordance with Article 35.11 of the Articles. The Company
will continue to work to consummate its initial business combination.
You
are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Article Amendment Proposal is approved and you do not elect
to redeem your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination when it is submitted to shareholders
(provided that you are a shareholder on the record date for a meeting to consider a business combination) and the right to redeem your
Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event such business combination is approved and completed or
the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Termination Date.
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, the removal of the funds from the Trust Account
in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. The Company cannot predict the
amount that will remain in the Trust Account after such withdrawal if the Article Amendment Proposal is approved and the amount remaining
in the Trust Account may be only a fraction of the amount of $[__] (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) that was
in the Trust Account as of the Record Date. In such event, the Company may require additional funds to complete a business combination,
and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.
Interests
of our Sponsor, Directors, and Officers
When
you consider the recommendation of the Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, executive officers and members of the Board have
interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:
|
● |
The
fact that our initial shareholders, including the Sponsor and our directors and officers, hold 1,725,000 Founder Shares and 332,000
Private Units that would expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated. The Founder Shares had an aggregate market
value of approximately $____________ based on the closing price for the Company’s Public Shares of $____________ on the Nasdaq
on the Record Date and the Private Units had an aggregate market value (assuming they have the same value per Unit as the Public
Units) of $____________ based on the closing price for the Public Units of $____________ on the Nasdaq on the Record Date; |
|
|
|
|
● |
Even
if the trading price of our ordinary shares lost substantial value prior to the consummation of a business combination, due to the
low amount of the initial investment in the Company made by the Sponsor, if an initial business combination is completed, the initial
shareholders are likely to be able to make a substantial profit on their investment in us even if the ordinary shares have lost significant
value. On the other hand, if the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Company liquidates without completing its initial
business combination before December 6, 2025, the initial shareholders will lose their entire investment in us; |
|
|
|
|
● |
In
order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor,
officers, and directors may, but are not obligated to, make loans from time to time to us to fund certain capital requirements (“Working
Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation
of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of notes may be converted upon
consummation of a business combination into additional Private Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit. As of December 31, 2024, there
were no amounts outstanding under any Working Capital Loan; |
|
● |
The
Sponsor, and our officers and directors are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with
certain activities on our behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However,
if the Company fails to consummate a business combination by the Termination Date, they will not have any claim against the Trust
Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, Aimei Health may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Company liquidates without
completing its initial business combination before December 6, 2025 (i.e., 24 months from the closing of the IPO assuming that all
12 monthly extensions are exercised). As of the Record Date, the Sponsor, and our officers and directors did not incur any unpaid
reimbursable expenses; and |
|
● |
The
Sponsor agreed, commencing from the date that the Company’s securities were first listed on Nasdaq, through the earlier of
the Company’s consummation of a business combination and its liquidation, to make available to the Company certain general
and administrative services, including office space, utilities, and administrative services, as the Company may require from time
to time. The Company agreed to pay to the Sponsor, $10,000 per month, for up to 12 months, subject to extension to up to 24 months.
As of December 31, 2024, the unpaid balance was $[ ], which was included in amount due to related party balance. |
Additionally,
if the Article Amendment Proposal is approved and we consummate an initial business combination, the Sponsor, and our officers and directors
may have additional interests as will be described in the proxy statement for the business combination.
The
Company’s directors, executive officers, its Sponsor, and their respective affiliates are not entitled to redeem the Founder Shares
or ordinary shares underlying the Private Units. In addition, Aimei Health’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates
may choose to buy Units or ordinary shares of Aimei Health in the open market and/or through negotiated private purchases. In the event
that purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Article
Amendment Proposal. Any shares of Aimei Health held by our Sponsor and its affiliates may be voted in favor of the Article Amendment
Proposal.
Resolution
to be Voted Upon - Article Amendment Proposal
The
full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:
“RESOLVED,
as a special resolution, an amendment to Article 35.2 of the Amended and Restated Articles of Association of the Company currently
in effect (the “Articles”) to insert the words “, or, if such trust agreement has been amended, in that trust
agreement, as amended from time to time, in accordance with its terms” after the words “and referred to in the Registration
Statement” in that Article, be confirmed, adopted, approved and ratified in all respects.”
Required
Vote
Approval
of the Article Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution which requires the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the votes
cast by the shareholders, who, being present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote
on such matter, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not votes cast, will have no effect
with respect to approval of this Proposal.
All
of Aimei Health’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any shares owned by them in favor of
the Article Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, our Sponsor and the directors and executive officers of Aimei Health and their affiliates
beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 2,057,000 ordinary shares of Aimei Health representing approximately 22.79% of Aimei Health’s
issued and outstanding ordinary shares. As the Article Amendment Proposal is not a “routine” matter, brokers will not be
permitted to exercise discretionary voting on this proposal.
Recommendation
of the Board
THE
BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE ARTICLE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL. THE BOARD EXPRESSES NO OPINION AS TO WHETHER
YOU SHOULD ELECT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES.
Redemption
Rights
If
the Article Amendment Proposal is duly approved by a special resolution of our shareholders, Public Shareholders may elect to redeem
their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including
interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Public Shareholders
who do not elect to redeem their Public Shares on the approval of the Article Amendment Proposal will retain the right to redeem their
Public Shares upon consummation of a business combination, or if the Company has not completed the business combination by the Termination
Date.
IN
ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE ARTICLE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL, YOU MUST, PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME
ON JANUARY 29, 2025 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING) TENDER YOUR SHARES PHYSICALLY OR ELECTRONICALLY AND
SUBMIT A REQUEST IN WRITING THAT WE REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES (UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE ARTICLE AMENDMENT PROPOSAL) FOR CASH TO CONTINENTAL
STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, OUR TRANSFER AGENT, AT THE FOLLOWING ADDRESS: CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, 1 STATE
STREET PLAZA, 30TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10004, ATTN: SPAC REDEMPTION TEAM, E-MAIL: SPACREDEMPTIONS@CONTINENTALSTOCK.COM. THE REDEMPTION
RIGHTS INCLUDE THE REQUIREMENT THAT A SHAREHOLDER MUST IDENTIFY ITSELF IN WRITING AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE ITS LEGAL NAME,
PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IN ORDER TO VALIDLY REDEEM ITS PUBLIC SHARES.
Through
the DWAC system, the electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its
shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through
the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a shareholder’s
broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There
is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through
the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $100 and the broker would determine whether or not to
pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least
two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the
brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to
make their investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical
stock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption
rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.
Certificates
that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 29, 2025 (two business days
before the Extraordinary General Meeting) will not be redeemed, upon the approval of the Article Amendment Proposal by Special Resolution,
for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a Public Shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior
to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender.
If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not
to redeem your Public Shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make
such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a Public Shareholder tenders shares and
the Article Amendment Proposal is not approved, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares
will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Article Amendment Proposal will not be approved. The
transfer agent will hold the certificates of Public Shareholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned
to such shareholders.
If
properly demanded, upon the approval of the Article Amendment Proposal, the Company will redeem each Public Share for a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net
of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of [_], the
Company anticipates that the per-share price at which Public Shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately
$[_]. The closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares as of [_] was $[_].
If
you exercise your redemption rights, upon the approval of the Article Amendment Proposal, you will be exchanging your shares for cash
and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender
your stock certificate(s) to the Company’s transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on January 29, 2025 (two business days
before the Extraordinary General Meeting). The Company anticipates that a Public Shareholder who tenders shares for redemption upon approval
by a special resolution of our shareholders of the Article Amendment Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such
shares soon after the completion of the Article Amendment.
UNITED
STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS
The
following brief discussion summarizes certain United States federal income tax considerations generally applicable to U.S. Holders (as
defined below) who elect to have their ordinary shares redeemed for cash pursuant to the exercise of a right to redemption in connection
with an Election.
This
brief discussion is limited to certain United States federal income tax considerations to such U.S. Holders who hold ordinary shares
as a capital asset under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
This
discussion is a summary only and does not consider all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be relevant to a U.S.
Holder exercising its right to redemption in light of such holder’s particular circumstances, including tax consequences to U.S.
Holders who are:
|
● |
financial
institutions or financial services entities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
broker-dealers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
taxpayers
that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules; |
|
|
|
|
● |
tax-exempt
entities; |
|
|
|
|
● |
governments
or agencies or instrumentalities thereof; |
|
|
|
|
● |
insurance
companies; |
|
|
|
|
● |
regulated
investment companies or real estate investment trusts; |
|
|
|
|
● |
expatriates
or former long-term residents of the United States; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons
that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of any class
of our shares; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons
that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans
or otherwise as compensation; |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons
that hold our securities as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction; |
|
|
|
|
● |
partnerships
(or entities or arrangements treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes), or persons
holding our securities through such partnerships or other pass-through entities; or |
|
|
|
|
● |
persons
whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. |
This
brief discussion is based on the Code, proposed, temporary and final Treasury Regulations promulgated under the Code, and judicial and
administrative interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof. All of the foregoing is subject to change, which change could apply
retroactively and could affect the tax considerations described herein. This discussion does not address U.S. federal taxes other than
those pertaining to U.S. federal income taxation (such as estate or gift taxes, the alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax on investment
income), nor does it address any aspects of U.S. state or local or non-U.S. taxation.
We
have not sought and do not intend to seek any rulings from the IRS regarding an intended Business Combination or an exercise of redemption
rights by holders of our ordinary shares. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take positions inconsistent with the considerations
discussed below or that any such positions could be sustained by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation,
regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not change the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.
As
used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of ordinary shares, units, or rights, who or that is for United
States federal income tax purposes: (i) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated
as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in
or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (iii) an estate the income of which is subject
to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or (iv) a trust if (A) a court within the United States is able to
exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial
decisions of the trust, or (B) it has in effect a valid election to be treated as a U.S. person.
This
brief summary discussion does not consider the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold our securities
through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for United States federal income
tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of our securities, the United States federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership
generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partnerships holding our securities and partners
in such partnerships are urged to consult their own tax advisors.
THIS
DISCUSSION IS ONLY A SUMMARY OF CERTAIN UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS ASSOCIATED WITH AN ELECTION. EACH REDEEMING U.S.
HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH U.S. HOLDER OF THE EXERCISE OF
REDEMPTION RIGHTS THROUGH AN ELECTION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.
In
the Event of a Redemption as Sale or Distribution
In
the event that a U.S. Holder’s ordinary shares are redeemed pursuant to an Election, the treatment of the transaction for United
States federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the ordinary shares under Section 302
of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of ordinary shares, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss and
any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such ordinary
shares exceeds one year. It is unclear, however, whether certain redemption rights may suspend the running of the applicable holding
period for this purpose. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of ordinary shares, it will be treated as a corporate distribution.
In that case, the U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as a dividend the amount of the distribution to the
extent the distribution is paid out of current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income
tax principles). To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, they will constitute a return
of capital, which will first reduce your basis in our ordinary shares, but not below zero, and then will be treated as gain from the
sale of our ordinary shares.
Whether
a redemption pursuant to an Election qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of our ordinary shares treated
as held by the U.S. Holder relative to all of our ordinary shares outstanding both before and after such redemption. The redemption generally
will be treated as a sale of the ordinary shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if such redemption (i) is “substantially
disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s
interest in us or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained
more fully below.
In
determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only our ordinary shares actually
owned by the U.S. Holder, but also our ordinary shares that are constructively owned by such holder. A U.S. Holder may constructively
own, in addition to shares owned directly, shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest
or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any shares the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option,
which would generally include ordinary shares which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of any warrants. In order to meet the
substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder
immediately following a redemption of ordinary shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80 percent of the percentage of our
outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption.
Prior
to a Business Combination, the ordinary shares may not be treated as voting shares for this purpose and, consequently, this substantially
disproportionate test may not be applicable. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all
of our ordinary shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of our ordinary shares actually
owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules,
the attribution of ordinary shares owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares of
ours. The redemption of the ordinary shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if such redemption results in a “meaningful
reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction
in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. The IRS has indicated in
a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation
who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.”
If
none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then a redemption could be treated as a corporate distribution as described above. A U.S.
Holder considering exercising its redemption right should consult its own tax advisor as to whether the redemption will be treated as
a sale or as a corporate distribution under the Code.
Information
Reporting and Backup Withholding
Dividend
payments with respect to our ordinary shares and proceeds from the sale, exchange or redemption of our ordinary shares may be subject
to information reporting to the IRS and possible United States backup withholding. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S.
Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from
backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.
Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal
income tax liability, and a U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules
by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information. U.S. Holders are urged to consult
their own tax advisors regarding the application of backup withholding and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption
from backup withholding in their particular circumstances.
PROPOSAL
2— THE TRUST AGREEMENT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL
Aimei
Health is proposing to approve an amendment to the Trust Agreement by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company governing the trust account established in connection with the Company’s IPO, to amend the amount of funds to be deposited
by the Sponsor into the Trust Account in connection with extending the timeframe within which the Company must consummate its initial
business combination (the “Trust Amendment”). A copy of the proposed Trust Amendment is attached to this proxy statement
as Annex A. All shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description
of its terms.
Currently,
under the Company’s Articles, the Company has until 12 months from the closing of its IPO (namely, until December 6, 2024) to consummate
its initial business combination (“Combination Period”). The Articles and the Trust Agreement also provide that if
the Board anticipates that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within the Combination Period, we may, by
resolution of the Board if requested by our Sponsor, extend the Combination Period up to twelve (12) times each for an additional one
month from December 6, 2024 (i.e., 12 months after the consummation of the IPO) up to December 6, 2025 (i.e., 24 months after the consummation
of the IPO), subject to the Sponsor depositing additional funds into the Trust Account in accordance with terms as set out in the
trust agreement governing the Trust Account and referred to in the Registration Statement. Currently, to effectuate each Monthly
Extension, the Sponsor must deposit an amount equal to $0.033 per Public Share into the Trust Account. The monthly extension fee (namely,
$0.033 per Public Share) was deposited into the Trust Account (“Initial Contribution”) in accordance with the current
terms of the Trust Agreement, to extend the Combination Period by two additional months (i.e., from December 6, 2024 to February 6, 2025).
Through
this Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, Aimei Health is proposing that its shareholders approve that the Sponsor will be required to
deposit $60,000 for all remaining Public Shares into the Trust Account, for each of the subsequent Monthly Extensions. Each subsequent
Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, must be deposited into the Trust Account
by the sixth of each succeeding month to effect each additional Monthly Extension until November 6, 2025 (the Initial Contribution
and each deposited Amended Monthly Extension Fee, together “Contributions”). The amount of the Contributions will
not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination.
The
Board’s Reasons for the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal
Under
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, the Company is seeking the approval of its shareholders of an amendment to the Trust Agreement
that reduces the amount it must deposit into the Trust Account to be equal to $60,000 for all remaining Public Shares for each of the
subsequent Monthly Extensions. The purpose of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is to provide the Sponsor with an incentive and
lessen the Sponsor’s burden to fund the fees for each Monthly Extension that may be required for the Company
to complete an initial business combination by or before December 6, 2025, which will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to
participate in such initial business combination. The Board believes that the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is necessary in order
to be able to consummate an initial business combination within the Combination Period. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is
in the best interests of the Company to give effect to the proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement and recommends our shareholders
approve and adopt the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal.
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is Not Approved
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is not approved, the ability of the Company to extend the time frame of the Combination Period
will be contingent upon our Sponsor depositing into the Trust Account the required amount of funds for each Monthly Extension (being
$0.033 per Public Share) in accordance with the current terms of the Trust Agreement and referred to in the Registration Statement.
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Sponsor does not agree to implement any of the additional Monthly Extensions
in accordance with the current terms of the Trust Agreement, the Board will take all such action necessary to (i) cease all operations
except for the purpose of winding up (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than five (5) Business Days (as that term is
defined in the Articles) thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to the holders of the Public Shares, on a pro rata basis, in cash at
a per-share amount equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (including interest not previously released to
the Company, which shall be net of taxes payable, and less interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of then outstanding
Public Shares and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders
and the Board, liquidate and dissolve the Company, subject to the Company’s obligations under the Companies Act (Revised) of the
Cayman Islands, including any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force, to provide for claims of creditors
and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of such redemption, only the holders of the Public Shares shall be entitled
to receive pro rata redeeming provisions from the Trust Account with respect to their Public Shares).
The
holders of the Founder Shares and Private Units will not participate in any redemption distribution with respect to their Founder Shares
or Private Units, until all of the claims of any redeeming shareholders and creditors are fully satisfied (and then only from funds held
outside the trust account). The Company will pay the costs of liquidating the trust account from the up to $50,000 of interest earned
on the funds held in the trust account that is available to us for liquidation expenses.
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is Approved
If
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is approved by the shareholders, to effectuate each of the subsequent Monthly Extensions, the
Sponsor will be required to deposit $60,000 for all remaining Public Shares into the Trust Account, for each Monthly Extension. Each
subsequent Amended Monthly Extension Fee, if and to the extent approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, must be deposited into
the Trust Account by the sixth of each succeeding month to effect each additional Monthly Extension until November 6, 2025. The
Company will then continue to work to consummate its initial business combination.
You
are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time.
Resolution
to be Voted Upon - Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal
The
full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:
“RESOLVED,
that, the Trust Agreement be amended to adjust the amount of funds to be deposited into the Trust Account in connection with extending
the timeframe within which the Company must consummate its initial business combination, from $0.033 per Public Share (for each monthly
extension) to an amount equal to $60,000 for all outstanding Public Shares (for each monthly extension), be confirmed, adopted, approved
and ratified in all respects.”
Required
Vote
Approval
of the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders
who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General
Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, which are not votes cast, will have no effect with respect to approval of this Proposal.
All
of Aimei Health’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any shares owned by them in favor of
the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, our Sponsor and the directors and executive officers of Aimei Health and
their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 2,057,000 ordinary shares of Aimei Health representing approximately 22.79%
of Aimei Health’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares. As the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is not a “routine”
matter, brokers will not be permitted to exercise discretionary voting on this proposal.
Recommendation
of the Board
The Board considered the conflicts,
as described in “The Article Amendment Proposal — Interests of Aimei Health’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers”,
between their respective personal pecuniary interests in successfully completing a business combination and the interests of Public Shareholders.
The Board determined that their respective personal pecuniary interests, in the form of the contingent and hypothetical value of ordinary
shares if a business combination is ultimately completed, was substantially less than the additional time, effort and potential liability
they might incur if they failed to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders to the best of their ability,
which they, as shareholders as well, share.
After careful consideration of all
relevant factors, the Board determined that the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company
and its shareholders, and has declared them advisable.
THE
BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE TRUST AGREEMENT AMENDMENT PROPOSAL.
PROPOSAL NO. 3 —
THE AUDITOR APPOINTMENT PROPOSAL
Overview
The Auditor Appointment Proposal is
asking the shareholders to ratify the selection by our audit committee of MaloneBailey, LLP (“MaloneBailey”) as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and approve the engagement
of MaloneBailey to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2024.
If our shareholders do not approve the selection of MaloneBailey as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2024, our audit committee may reconsider the selection of MaloneBailey as our independent registered public
accounting firm.
MaloneBailey has served as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm since 2023.
Fees Paid to the Independent Registered
Public Accounting Firm
The following is a summary of fees
paid or to be paid to MaloneBailey, for services rendered.
Audit Fees. Audit fees consist
of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements and services that are normally provided
by MaloneBailey in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees of MaloneBailey for professional services rendered for the
audit of our annual financial statements, review of the financial information included in our Forms 8-K for the respective periods and

Audit Committee Policy on Pre-Approval of
Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our
audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our IPO. As a result, the audit committee did not preapprove all of the foregoing
services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since
the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will preapprove all auditing services
and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis
exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of
the audit).
You are not being asked to vote on a business
combination at this time.
Resolution to be Voted Upon – Auditor
Appointment Proposal
The full text of the resolution to be passed is
as follows:
“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution
that, the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year
ending December 31, 2023 and the engagement of MaloneBailey, LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting
firm for the year ending December 31, 2024, be confirmed, adopted, approved and ratified in all respects.”
Required Vote
Approval of the Auditor Appointment
Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the shareholders who, being present in person or by
proxy and entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions will have no
effect with respect to approval of this Auditor Appointment Proposal.
Recommendation
The Board considered the conflicts,
as described in “The Article Amendment Proposal — Interests of Aimei Health’s Sponsor, Directors and Officers”,
between their respective personal pecuniary interests in successfully completing a business combination and the interests of Public Shareholders.
The Board determined that their respective personal pecuniary interests, in the form of the contingent and hypothetical value of ordinary
shares if a business combination is ultimately completed, was substantially less than the additional time, effort and potential liability
they might incur if they failed to discharge their fiduciary duties to the Company’s shareholders to the best of their ability,
which they, as shareholders as well, share.
After careful consideration of all
relevant factors, the Board determined that the Auditor Appointment Proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and
its shareholders, and has declared them advisable.
THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE
“FOR” THE AUDITOR APPOINTMENT PROPOSAL.
