Additional Information and Where to Find It

 

As previously announced on April 20, 2023, the Company has entered into a definitive agreement with Air Water Ventures Ltd. (“AWV”) for a business combination (the “Potential Business Combination”). The Company and AWV are expected to prepare a registration statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which will include preliminary and definitive proxy statements 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 Potential Business Combination and other matters, as will be described in the Registration Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued in connection with the completion of the Potential Business Combination. After the Registration Statement has been filed and 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 Potential Business Combination. The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, once available, the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus and any amendments thereto and, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with the Company’s solicitation of proxies for its special meeting of stockholders to be held to approve, among other things, the Potential Business Combination, because these documents will contain important information about the Company, AWV and the Potential 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 Potential Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by the Company, free of charge, at the SEC’s website, located at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Athena Technology Acquisition Corp. II, 442 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018.

 

This press release is not a substitute for the Registration Statement or for any other document that the Company may file with the SEC in connection with the Potential Business Combination.

 

INVESTORS AND SECURITY HOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

The Company and its directors and executive officers, under SEC rules, may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies of the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Potential Business Combination. Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding the Company’s directors and executive officers in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, and amendments thereto. Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the Potential Business Combination, including a description of their direct and indirect interests, which may, in some cases, be different than those of the Company’s stockholders generally, will be set forth in the Registration Statement. Stockholders, potential investors and other interested persons should read the Registration Statement carefully when it becomes available before making any voting or investment decisions.

 

No Offer or Solicitation

 

This press release does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy or a recommendation to purchase any securities in any jurisdiction, or the solicitation of any vote, consent or approval in any jurisdiction in connection with the Potential Business Combination or any related transactions, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of any securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction. This press release does not constitute either advice or a recommendation regarding any securities. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or an exemption therefrom.
