Other Events.

On July 17, 2024, ExcelFin Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”), announced that the special meeting of the stockholders of the Company originally scheduled for July 18, 2024 (the “Special Meeting”) has been postponed to 10:00 a.m. Eastern time on July 24, 2024. The Company has previously called and provided a notice of the Special Meeting to consider and vote upon the matters described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 25, 2024 (the “Proxy Statement”). At the Special Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”) pursuant to a fourth amendment to the Charter (the “Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company must effectuate an initial business combination (“initial business combination”) from July 25, 2024 (the “Termination Date”) to December 25, 2024, comprised of five one-month extensions (each an “Extension”), for a total of five months after the Termination Date.

The record date for the stockholders to vote at the Special Meeting remains the close of business on June 21, 2024 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders who have previously submitted their proxy or otherwise voted need not vote again.

You may vote again or change your vote by sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to the Company at ExcelFin Acquisition Corp., 100 Kingsley Park Dr, Fort Mill, South Carolina 29715, so that it is received prior to the Special Meeting or by attending the Special Meeting in person and voting (including by virtual means as provided below). You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the same address, which must be received by the Company prior to the Special Meeting.

As a result of this change, the Special Meeting will now be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on July 24, 2024, exclusively via live webcast at https://web.lumiconnect.com/276796335. You will need the passcode “excelfin2024” and the 16-digit meeting control number that is printed on your proxy card to enter the Special Meeting. Also as a result of this change, the date and time by which stockholders seeking to exercise redemption rights must tender their public shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that the Company redeem their public shares for cash to the Company’s transfer agent, Equinity Trust Company, LLC, is being extended to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on July 22, 2024.

About ExcelFin Acquisition Corp.

ExcelFin Acquisition Corp. is blank check company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On June 26, 2026, we entered into a Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”) with Betters Medical Investment Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Baird Medical”), Tycoon Choice Global Limited, a business company limited by shares incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and a wholly owned subsidiary of Baird Medical (“Tycoon”), Baird Medical Investment Holdings Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Baird Medical (“PubCo”), Betters Medical Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub”) (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement we refer to herein as the “Business Combination.”

We are not asking you to vote on the Business Combination at the Special Meeting. The Business Combination will be submitted to stockholders of the Company for their consideration. On August 21, 2023, PubCo filed a Registration Statement on Form F-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which includes preliminary proxy statement and a definitive proxy statement, to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Company’s solicitation for proxies for the vote by the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Business Combination and other matters as described in the definitive proxy statement. After the Registration Statement on Form F-4 has been declared effective, the Company will mail a definitive proxy statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the record date established for voting on the Business Combination. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the preliminary proxy statement and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement, in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about the Company and the Business Combination. Stockholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary or definitive proxy statement, once available, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.

Additional Information and Where to Find It

The definitive proxy statement for the extension of the initial business combination deadline has been mailed to the Company’s stockholders. INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER RELEVANT MATERIALS BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY. Investors and security holders may obtain free copies of these documents and other documents filed with the SEC at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed by the Company with the SEC may be obtained free of charge by contacting Company at 100 Kingsley Park Dr., Fort Mill, South Carolina 29715.
