InThis ~~addition,~~Current Report on Form 8-K contains “forward-looking statements” within the ~~disclosure~~meaning ~~contained~~of inSection 27A ~~Item~~of 1the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are not historical facts, and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results of BIOS and Avertix to differ materially from those expected and projected.01 These statements, other than statements of present or historical fact included in this ~~Current~~document, ~~Report~~regarding BIOS’ proposed business combination with Avertix, BIOS’ ability to consummate the proposed transactions, the benefits of the proposed transactions and the combined company’s future financial performance, including financial projections, as well as the combined company’s strategy, demand for products and services, use cases for products and services, anticipated business model and future operations, estimated financial position, estimated revenue growth, prospects expectations, estimated market growth, size and opportunity, plans and objectives of management, among others, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on ~~Form~~various 8assumptions, whether or not identified in this document, and on the current expectations of Avertix’s management and are not predictions of actual performance, and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. These forward-Klooking isstatements ~~incorporated~~are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by ~~reference~~any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this ~~Item~~document, 3including but not limited to: the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the proposed business combination; the risk that the proposed business combination may not be completed by BIOS’ business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline by BIOS; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the definitive transaction agreement; Avertix’s history of operating losses; Avertix’s ability to engage physicians to utilize and prescribe its solution; changes in reimbursement practices; technological changes in Avertix’s market; Avertix’s ability to protect its intellectual property; Avertix‘s material weaknesses in financial reporting; and the Avertix’s ability to navigate complex regulatory requirements.02 The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. Please carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of the final prospectus to BIOS’ registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-249676), the Registration Statement filed with the SEC by BIOS and other documents filed or that may be filed by BIOS from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those obtained in the forward-looking statements.

~~Item~~There 5may be additional risks that neither BIOS nor Avertix presently know or that BIOS and Avertix currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.03 In addition, forward-looking statements reflect BIOS’ and Avertix’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this document. ~~Amendments~~BIOS and Avertix anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause BIOS’ and Avertix’s assessments to ~~Articles~~change. However, while BIOS and Avertix may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, BIOS and Avertix specifically assume no obligation and do not intend to do so, nor do they intend to revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of ~~Incorporation~~new information, future events, or ~~Bylaws;~~otherwise, ~~Change~~except inas ~~Fiscal~~may ~~Year~~be required by applicable law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing BIOS’ and Avertix’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this document. Neither BIOS nor Avertix gives any assurance that either BIOS or Avertix, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.

On June 2, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”). At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders of record as of May 2, 2023 (the “Record Date”) approved an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Charter Amendment”) to (i) extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (ii) provide for the right of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time prior to the closing of the Initial Business Combination at the option of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”). The Company filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on June 2, 2023.

At the Meeting, the Company’s shareholders voted on the following proposals, each of which was approved:

(1) The Extension Amendment Proposal – a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company must consummate its initial Business Combination from June 7, 2023 to December 7, 2023 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board). The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders:

26,657,793		79,889		0

(2) The Founder Share Amendment Proposal – a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to provide for the right of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares to convert such shares into Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time prior to the closing of the Initial Business Combination at the option of a holder of Class B Ordinary Shares. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders:

For		Against		Abstain
25,657,793		79,889		0

(3) The Auditor Ratification Proposal – a proposal to ratify the selection by the Company’s Audit Committee of WithumSmith+Brown, PC to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal, which was approved by the Company’s shareholders:

For		Against		Abstain
27,222,482		79,889		0

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, holders of 9,942,523 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.53 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $104,708,794.59, with a net amount of funds remaining in the Trust Account following such redemptions of approximately $137,513,654.92.

A proposal to adjourn the Meeting to a later date was not presented because there were enough votes to approve each of the three other proposals.
