Eastern Time on September 10, 2024, via a virtual meeting live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/acharivc/bc2024.
The Special Meeting is being held for the purpose
of considering and voting on, among other related business, certain proposals, including with respect to approval of the transactions
(the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2023 (the
“Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Achari, Achari Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned
subsidiary of Achari (“Merger Sub”), and Vaso Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Vaso”), among other items.
The proposals and related matters are described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement related to the Special Meeting filed
by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 7, 2024 as amended to date (the “Definitive
Proxy Statement”).
The record date for the Special Meeting remains
the close of business on August 8, 2024.
Stockholders who wish to withdraw their previously

The Company and certain of its directors and executive
officers and other persons may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company’s stockholders in respect
of the proposals to be considered and voted on at the Special Meeting. Information concerning the interests of the directors and executive
officers of the Company is set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement which may be obtained free of charge from the sources indicated
above.
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, 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.
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.
Additional Information
The Company has filed with the SEC the Definitive

the Definitive Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to its stockholders as of the August 8, 2024 record date for the Special Meeting.
The Company’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the Definitive Proxy Statement and all supplemental

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K (“Current
Report”) may include, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of the Company may include, “forward-looking
statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements regarding the approval of certain proposals at the Special meeting or the implementation
of the Extension Proposals, possible business combinations and the financing thereof, and related matters, as well as all other statements
other than statements of historical fact included in this Current Report are forward-looking statements. When used in this Current Report,
words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,”
“intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,”
“project,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management team,
identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made
by, and information currently available to, the Company’s management. Actual results could differ materially from those contemplated
by the forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors detailed in the Company’s filings with the SEC. All subsequent
written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by this
paragraph. Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous conditions, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, including
those set forth in the Risk Factors section of the Company’s registration statement and prospectus for the Company’s initial
public offering filed with the SEC. The Company undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the
date of this Current Report, except as required by law.
