The fourth paragraph on the second page of the Letter to Shareholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Pursuant to the Existing Charter and the Trust Agreement, in order to avail ourselves of the three (3) additional three-month extension periods to consummate the Business Combination, our sponsors, Bayview Holding LP and Peace Investment Holdings Limited (the “Sponsors”) or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline, may, at their request, and by resolution of directors, deposit into the Trust Account for each such three-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable Business Combination deadline, $600,000 (or $0.10 per share) for each extension. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we may, by resolution of directors, at the request of our Sponsors, avail ourselves of nine (9) extension periods, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each, to consummate the Business Combination, subject to the Sponsors or its affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline, depositing into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable Business Combination deadline $125,000 for each month in an Extension. In the event that our Sponsors elects to extend the time to complete a Business Combination, pay the Extension Payment, and deposit the Extension Payment into the Trust Account, the Sponsors will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of the Extension Payment, which amount will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsors five days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline of its wish for us to effect an Extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such Extension at least three days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline. Our Sponsors and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of our Sponsors’ affiliates or designees, decide to extend the period of time to consummate our Business Combination, such affiliates or designees may deposit the entire amount required. If we are unable to consummate our Business Combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our outstanding ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares” or “Ordinary Shares”) for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the rights will expire and be worthless.

The first Q&A on page 3 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q. What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

   

A. Bayview shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

 

Proposal No. 1—Extension Amendment Proposal—A proposal, by special resolution, to amend Bayview’s Existing Charter by adopting the Bayview’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association in the form set forth in Annex A to this Proxy Statement, which reflects the extension of date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination up to nine (9) times from September 19, 2024 to June 19, 2025, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 18 months after the consummation of its IPO) for a total of nine (9) months after the Termination Date (assuming a Business Combination has not occurred);

 

Proposal No. 2—Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal—A proposal to amend Bayview’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of December 14, 2023, (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (f/k/a American Stock Transfer & Trust Company) (the “Trustee”), to allow the Company to extend the Termination Date up to nine (9) times, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each from the Termination Date to June 19, 2025 (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) by providing five days’ advance notice to the Trustee prior to the applicable Termination Date and depositing into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) $125,000 for each month in an Extension (the “Extension Payment”) until June 19, 2025 (assuming a Business Combination has not occurred) in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination; and

 

Proposal No. 3—Adjournment Proposal—A proposal, by ordinary resolution to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal or to provide additional time to effectuate the Extension Amendment and Extension.

 

The second Q&A on page 3 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q: Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

 

A: Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are conditions to the implementation of the Extension Amendment and Extension. Pursuant to the Existing Charter, Bayview may not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001, which condition may not be waived by the Board. Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are approved, Bayview may nevertheless choose not to hold the Extraordinary General Meeting or not to amend the Existing Charter and may liquidate on the Termination Date.

 

If the Extension and Extension Amendment are implemented and one or more Bayview shareholders elect to redeem their Public Shares, Bayview will remove from the Trust Account and deliver to the holders of such redeemed Public Shares an amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account with respect to such redeemed Public Shares, as described in more detail in this Proxy Statement, and will retain the remainder of the funds in the Trust Account for Bayview’s use in connection with consummating a Business Combination on or before the expiration of the last Extended Date.

 

5

 

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are not approved and a Business Combination is not consummated by the Termination Date, or such later date that may be approved by Bayview shareholders, Bayview will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The Sponsors and all of Bayview’s directors and officers (the “initial shareholders”) waived their rights to participate in any liquidating distribution with respect to the 1,500,000 Founder Shares held by them. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to Bayview’s rights, which will expire worthless in the event Bayview dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.

 

The Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal and Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal.

 

The first Q&A on page 5 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q: Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?

 

A: Bayview believes its shareholders will benefit from Bayview consummating a Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to give the Company the right to extend the Combination Period from September 19, 2024, up to nine (9) times, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each, to June 19, 2025. The Board believes that the current Termination Date will not provide sufficient time to complete a Business Combination. Given Bayview’s commitment of time, effort and financial resources to date with respect to identifying a Business Combination target, circumstances warrant providing Public Shareholders with additional time and opportunity to consider a prospective Business Combination. However, even if the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension and Extension Amendment are implemented, there is no assurance that Bayview will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the last Extended Date, given the actions that must occur prior to closing of a Business Combination

 

Pursuant to the Existing Charter and the Trust Agreement, in order to avail ourselves of the three (3) additional three-month extension periods to consummate the Business Combination, our Sponsors or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline, may, at their request, and by resolution of directors, deposit into the Trust Account for each such three-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable Business Combination deadline $600,000, (or $0.10 per share) for each extension. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we may, by resolution of directors, at the request of our Sponsors, avail ourselves of nine (9) extension periods, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each to consummate the Business Combination, subject to the Sponsors or their affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline, depositing into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable Business Combination deadline $125,000 for each month in an Extension. In the event that our Sponsors elect to extend the time to complete a Business Combination, pay the Extension Payment, and deposit the Extension Payment into the Trust Account, the Sponsors will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of the Extension Payment, which amount will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsors five days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline of their wish for us to effect an Extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such Extension at least three days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline. Our Sponsors and their affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of our Sponsors’ affiliates or designees, decide to extend the period of time to consummate our Business Combination, such affiliates or designees may deposit the entire amount required. If we are unable to consummate our Business Combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the rights will expire and be worthless.

 

The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

The second Q&A on page 6 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Q: What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are not approved?

 

A: If there are insufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal, Bayview may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Extension.

 

If the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are not approved and a Business Combination is not consummated by the Termination Date, or such later date that may be approved by Bayview shareholders, Bayview will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

 

The Sponsors and the officers, directors and the initial shareholders of Bayview waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the 1,500,000 Founder Shares held by them. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to Bayview’s rights, which will expire worthless in the event Bayview dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.

 

The sixth paragraph on page 13 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

Proposal No. 2—Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal—A proposal to amend Bayview’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of December 14, 2023, (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Trustee”), to allow the Company to extend the Termination Date up to nine (9) times, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each from the Termination Date to June 19, 2025 (the “Trust Agreement Amendment”) by providing five days’ advance notice to the Trustee prior to the applicable Termination Date and depositing into the Trust Account $125,000 for each month in an Extension until June 19, 2025 (assuming a Business Combination has not occurred) in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination (the “Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal”); and

Pursuant to the Existing Charter and the Trust Agreement, in order to avail ourselves of the three (3) additional three-month extension periods to consummate the Business Combination, our Sponsors or its affiliates or designees upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline, may, at their request, and by resolution of directors, deposit into the Trust Account for each such three-month extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable Business Combination deadline $600,000, (or $0.10 per share) for each extension. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we may, by resolution of directors, at the request of our Sponsors, avail ourselves of nine (10) extension periods, with all nine (9) extensions comprised of one month each to consummate the Business Combination, subject to the Sponsors or its affiliates or designees, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline, depositing into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, on or prior to the date of the applicable Business Combination deadline $125,000 for each month in an Extension. In the event that our Sponsors elects to extend the time to complete a Business Combination, pay the Extension Payment, and deposit the Extension Payment into the Trust Account, the Sponsors will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of the Extension Payment, which amount will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsors five days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline of its wish for us to effect an Extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such Extension at least three days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline. Our Sponsors and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of our Sponsors’ affiliates or designees, decide to extend the period of time to consummate our Business Combination, such affiliates or designees may deposit the entire amount required. If we are unable to consummate our Business Combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our outstanding ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes if any , and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the rights will expire and be worthless.

 

The fourth paragraph on page 21 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

he approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to the implementation of our Board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial Business Combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement the Extension and Extension Amendment unless our shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the other conditions to implementing the Extension and Extension Amendment are satisfied or waived. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and a Business Combination is not consummated by the Termination Date, or such later date that may be approved by Bayview shareholders, Bayview will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.
