Forward Looking Statements

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K (including certain of the exhibits hereto) includes certain statements that are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements for purposes of the safe harbor provisions under the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or ExcelFin’s, Betters’ or PubCo’s future financial or operating performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “might”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “budget”, “forecast”, “intend”, “plan”, “potential”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by ExcelFin and its management, and Betters and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. New risks and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. None of PubCo, ExcelFin, or Betters undertakes any duty to update these forward-looking statements.

 

Actual results may vary materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements based on a number of factors, including, without limitation: (1) risks related to the consummation of the proposed Transactions, including the risks that (a) the proposed Transactions may not be consummated within the anticipated time period, or at all; (b) ExcelFin may fail to obtain stockholder approval of the proposed business combination; (c) the Parties may fail to secure required regulatory approvals under applicable laws; and (d) other conditions to the consummation of the proposed Transactions under the Business Combination Agreement may not be satisfied; (2) the effects that any termination of the Business Combination Agreement may have on ExcelFin or Betters or their respective business, including the risks that ExcelFin’s share price may decline significantly if the proposed Transactions are not completed; (3) the effects that the announcement or pendency of the proposed Transactions may have on Betters’ and its business, including the risks that as a result (a) ExcelFin’s business, operating results or stock price may suffer or (b) PubCo’s, ExcelFin’s or Betters’ current plans and operations may be disrupted; (4) the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Transactions; (5) unexpected costs resulting from the proposed Transactions; (6) changes in general economic conditions; (7) regulatory conditions and developments; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (9) the nature, cost and outcome of pending and future litigation and other legal proceedings, including any such proceedings related to the proposed Transactions and instituted against PubCo, ExcelFin, Betters and others; and (10) other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in the registration and proxy statement relating to the proposed Transactions, including those under “Risk Factors” therein, and in ExcelFin’s other filings with the SEC.

 

The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is contained in ExcelFin’s most recent filings with the SEC and in the registration statement described above filed by PubCo in connection with the proposed Transactions. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning ExcelFin, Betters, PubCo or Tycoon, the Transactions described herein or other matters attributable to ExcelFin, Betters, PubCo, Tycoon or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of ExcelFin, Betters, PubCo and Tycoon expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.

Baird Medical No Offer or Solicitation . This Presentation and the information contained herein do not constitute (i) (a) a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the proposed Business Combination or (b) an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any security, commodity or instrument or related derivative, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction, or (ii) an offer or commitment to lend, syndicate or arrange a financing, underwrite or purchase or act as an agent or advisor or in any other capacity with respect to any transaction, or commit capital, or to participate in any trading strategies . No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933 , as amended, or an exemption therefrom . The distribution of this Presentation may also be restricted by law and persons into whose possession this Presentation comes should inform themselves about and observe any such restrictions . The recipient acknowledges that it is (a) aware that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has material, non - public information concerning a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities, and (b) familiar with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 , as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”), and that the recipient will neither use, nor cause any third party to use, this Presentation or any information contained herein in contravention of the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, Rule 10 b - 5 thereunder . NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (“SEC”) NOR ANY STATE OR TERRITORIAL SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE SECURITIES OR DETERMINED IF THIS PRESENTATION IS TRUTHFUL OR COMPLETE . Projections . This Presentation contains certain financial forecast information of Baird Medical, including, but not limited to, estimated results for fiscal year 2023 and 2024 and the Baird Medical's long - term business model . This presentation also contains certain forecast information with respect to future exchange rates between the United States dollar and Chinese yuan . Such financial forecast information and exchange rate forecast information constitute forward - looking information, and is for illustrative purposes only and should not be relied upon as necessarily being indicative of future results . The assumptions and estimates underlying such financial forecast information and exchange rate forecast information are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic, competitive and other risks and uncertainties . See “Forward - Looking Statements” above . Actual results may differ materially from the results contemplated by the financial forecast information and exchange rate forecast information contained in this Presentation, and the inclusion of such information in this Presentation should not be regarded as a representation by any person that the results reflected in such forecasts will be achieved . None of ExcelFin's nor Baird Medical's independent auditors have audited, reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the projections for the purpose of their inclusion in this Presentation ; and, accordingly, neither of them expressed an opinion or provided any other form of assurance with respect thereto for the purpose of this Presentation . In addition, the analyses of Baird Medical and ExcelFin contained herein are not, and do not purport to be, appraisals of the securities, assets or business of Baird Medical, ExcelFin or any other entity . In connection with the PCAOB audit of the financial statements of Tycoon (the Baird Medical subsidiary which is the target in the Business Combination), which was completed in August 2023 , certain adjustments were made to the historical financial statements that, among other things, moved the booking of items from one financial period to another or changed the characterization of items previously capitalized to require that they be expensed in the financial period in which they were incurred . (with such changes, the “Audit Adjustments”) . In connection with the review of Tycoon’s June 30 , 2023 financial statements, which was completed in November 2023 , adjustments were made to the historical financial statements that changed the characterization of research and development costs previously capitalized to require that they be expensed in the financial period in which they were incurred (with such changes, the “Restatement”) . The Restatement resulted in a restatement of Tycoon’s audited financial statements at December 31 , 2021 and 2022 and for the two years then ended . See “Note 20   —  Restatement” to Tycoon’s audited financial statements included in the proxy statement/prospectus included in the Registration Statement for a description of the changes in Tycoon’s financial statements resulting from the Restatement . When the combined changes resulting from Audit Adjustments and the Restatement are applied to the model from which the projections included on slide 17 of this Presentation were derived, they result in a decrease of EBITDA of $ 2 . 8 million ( 18 % ) in 2021 , a decrease of EBITDA of $ 0 . 6 million ( 4 % ) in 2022 , a decrease of projected EBITDA of $ 2 . 5 million in 2023 ( 10 % ) and a decrease of projected EBITDA of $ 1 . 9 million ( 5 % ) in 2024 . The projections included on slide 17 of this Presentation reflect that information as it was provided to ExcelFin’s board of directors prior to its approval of the Business Combination, and such information has not been revised to reflect the changes indicated by the Audit Adjustments and the Restatement . Industry and Market Data . Certain information contained in this Presentation relates to or is based on studies, publications, surveys and the Baird Medical’s own internal estimates and research, including the “Global Market Study of Ablation Therapy - Independent Market Research Report” (the “Frost & Sullivan Report”) commissioned by Baird Medical and prepared by Frost & Sullivan, a third - party global research organization . The Frost & Sullivan Report was prepared based on various interviews conducted on a best - effort basis with industry experts and competitors . The study used 2021 as the base year for analysis and 2022 - 2024 for forecast . Certain figures from 2021 were not available from public statistical sources at the time of writing . In such cases, Frost & Sullivan used the latest information available or made projections based on historical trends . Under circumstances where information was not available, Frost & Sullivan’s in - house analysis was leveraged using appropriate models and indicators to arrive at an estimate . All of the market data included in this Presentation involves a number of assumptions and limitations, and there can be no guarantee as to the accuracy or reliability of such assumptions . You are cautioned not to give undue weight to this information . While Baird Medical believes its internal research is reliable, such research has not been verified by any independent source . Any data on past performance or modeling contained herein is not an indication as to future performance . ExcelFin and Baird Medical assume no obligation to update the information in this Presentation . Disclaimer (cont’d) 3

 

 

Baird Medical Trademarks . ExcelFin and Baird Medical own or have rights to various trademarks, service marks and trade names that they use in connection with the operation of their respective businesses . This Presentation may also contain trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of other companies, which are the property of their respective owners . The use or display of third parties’ trademarks, service marks, trade names or products in this Presentation is not intended to, and does not imply, a relationship with ExcelFin or Baird Medical an endorsement or sponsorship by or of ExcelFin or Baird Medical . Solely for convenience, some of the trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights referred to in this Presentation may be listed without the TM, SM, © or ® symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that ExcelFin or Baird Medical will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, their rights or the rights of the applicable owners, if any, to these trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights . Non - GAAP Financial Measures . This Presentation includes adjusted EBITDA margin, which is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) . Non - GAAP financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with GAAP and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Baird Medical’s financial results . You should be aware that the Baird Medical's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies . Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP . Baird Medical believes non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Baird Medical's financial condition and results of operations . Baird Medical believes that the use of non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing Baird Medical's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to investors . N on - GAAP financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures . A reconciliation of historical adjusted EBITDA to net income is provided in the tables at the end of this Presentation . With respect to projected adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin, due to the high variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections of some of the information excluded from these projected measures, together with some of the excluded information not being ascertainable or accessible, Baird Medical is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort . Consequently, no disclosure of estimated comparable GAAP measures is included . For the same reasons, Baird Medical is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results . Participants in the Solicitation . Baird Medical and ExcelFin and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from ExcelFin’s stockholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination . A list of the names of ExcelFin’s directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in ExcelFin is contained in ExcelFin’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering, dated October 22 , 2021 , and in ExcelFin’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K, dated March 30 , 2023 , which were filed with the SEC and are available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www . sec . gov, or by directing a request to ExcelFin Acquisition Corp . , 1 00 Kingsley Park Drive, Fort Mill, South Carolina 29715 . Other information regarding Baird Medical, and the other participants in the proxy solicitation and a description of their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant materials to be filed with the SEC . Investors and security holders of Baird Medical and ExcelFin are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents that will be filed with the SEC carefully and in their entirety when they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed Business Combination . Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the proxy statement and other documents containing important information about Baird Medical and ExcelFin through the website maintained by the SEC at www . sec . gov . Copies of the documents filed with the SEC by ExcelFin can be obtained free of charge by directing a written request to ExcelFin Acquisition Corp . , 1 00 Kingsley Park Drive, Fort Mill, South Carolina 29715 . This document has been translated into Chinese and the information was not altered in any material way . Disclaimer (cont’d) 4

Risks Related to Ownership of PubCo Ordinary Shares • Following the closing of the potential Business Combination, an active trading market for PubCo’s shares may not be available on a consistent basis to provide shareholders with adequate liquidity and may lead to significant volatility in the PubCo’s share price. • Concentration of ownership among existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from i nfl uencing significant corporate decisions. • The Combined Company does not expect to declare any dividends in the foreseeable future. Shareholders may not receive any ret urn on their investment unless they sell their shares. • Substantial sales of PubCo’s stock in the public market by existing shareholders, particularly after any lock - up period ends, co uld cause the PubCo’s share price to decline. • There can be no assurance that PubCo ordinary shares will be approved for listing on Nasdaq upon the Closing, or that PubCo w ill be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq or any other applicable exchange listing standards, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in PubCo’s secu rit ies. • PubCo’s lack of public company experience and a lack of research or reports about PubCo, its business, or its market, or adve rse recommendations against PubCo Ordinary Shares by securities and industry analysts may adversely affect PubCo’s business and the price and trading volume of its ordinary shares. • PubCo’s issuance of additional capital stock in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, stock incentive plans or otherwise will dilute all other stockholders Risks Relating to Redemption • The ability to execute ExcelFin’s strategic plan could be negatively impacted to the extent a significant number of stockhold ers choose to redeem their shares. • There is no guarantee that an ExcelFin stockholder’s decision to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Acco unt will economically benefit the stockholder. • Failure to comply with redemption requirements could prevent an ExcelFin stockholder from redeeming their shares of ExcelFin Cla ss A Common Stock. • If ExcelFin stockholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they cannot convert their ExcelFin Class A Common Stock i nto a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. • Holders who redeem their public shares of ExcelFin Class A Common Stock may continue to hold or exercise any ExcelFin Public War rants that they own in accordance with their terms, which may result in additional dilution. • A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on ExcelFin in connection with redemptions by ExcelFin stockholders of Clas s A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

 

 

Baird Medical Risk Factors (cont’d) 32 Risks Relating to ExcelFin, PubCo and the Business Combination • If ExcelFin does not consummate the Business Combination by the termination date of April 25, 2024, ExcelFin will have to cea se all operations except to wind up, redeem all of its public shares and liquidate, or seek approval of its stockholders to extend the termination date. • If the funds held outside of ExcelFin’s Trust Account are insufficient to allow ExcelFin to operate until at least April 25, 202 4 (or such later date as may be extended by means of an amendment to the ExcelFin Certificate of Incorporation), ExcelFin’s ability to complete the Business Combination may be adversely affected. • The working capital available to the Combined Company after the Business Combination will be reduced to the extent ExcelFin’s st ockholders exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination and will also be reduced to the extent of Baird Medical's and ExcelFin’s transaction expenses, which wi ll be payable by the Combined Company, which may adversely affect the future operations of the Combined Company. • The only significant asset of the Combined Company will be ownership of 100% of the Company Shares, and the Combined Company doe s not currently intend to pay dividends on its common stock, so your ability to achieve a return on your investment will depend on appreciation in the price of PubCo Ordinary Shares. • ExcelFin will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination, which could be sig nificantly higher than currently anticipated. If ExcelFin fails to consummate the Business Combination, it may not have sufficient cash available to pay such costs. • ExcelFin’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt abo ut ExcelFin’s ability to continue as a going concern, since ExcelFin will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating if ExcelFin is unable to complete an initial business combination by April 25, 2024 (or such later date as may be extended by means of an amendment to the ExcelFin Certificate of Incorporation). • U.S. regulatory authorities, including the SEC, have recently enacted and proposed rules impacting special purpose acquisitio n c ompanies that could increase ExcelFin’s costs, cause the Business Combination to be less attractive to ExcelFin’s shareholders or constrain circumstances under which it could be completed. • Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for ExcelFin to consummate the Business Combination. • ExcelFin and Baird Medical have no history operating as a combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated co mbi ned financial information may not be an indication of the Combined Company’s financial condition or results of operations following the Business Combination or would have been, and ac cor dingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate Baird Medical and your investment decision. • The Business Combination remains subject to conditions that ExcelFin cannot control, which if not satisfied or waived, the Bu sin ess Combination may not be consummated. • The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from its announcement, industry - wide c hanges and other causes. • The exercise of ExcelFin’s discretion in agreeing to changes to or waivers of terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in ExcelFin’s best interests. • The Sponsor, and ExcelFin’s directors and officers, have conflicts of interest in determining to pursue the Business Combinat ion with Baird Medical, since certain of their interests, and certain interests of their affiliates and associates, are different from or in addition to (and which may conflict with) the interest s o f ExcelFin’s stockholders. • ExcelFin’s Sponsor and affiliates will lose their entire investment of privately placed shares (consisting of founder shares) in ExcelFi n if the Business Combination is not completed and, therefore, they may have had a conflict of interest in identifying and selecting Baird Medical to close the Business Combination. • Since the Sponsor, and ExcelFin’s executive officers and directors will not be eligible for reimbursements of their out - of - pocke t expenses if the Business Combination is not completed, a conflict of interest may arise in determining whether Baird Medical is appropriate for ExcelFin’s initial business combination to close t he transaction. • Deferred underwriting fees in connection with the IPO will not be adjusted to account for redemptions by ExcelFin’s public stockholders; if ExcelFin’s public stockholders exercise their redemption rights, the amount of effective total underwriting commissions as a percentage of the aggregate proceeds from the IPO will in cre ase. • ExcelFin’s ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and the Combined Company’s ability to successfully operate th e business will be largely dependent upon the key personnel’s efforts.
