NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING
TO BE HELD DECEMBER [*], 2023
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF
BURTECH ACQUISITION CORP.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of BurTech Acquisition Corp. (the “Company,” “BurTech” or “we”), I invite you to attend our Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”). We hope you can join us. The Special Meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time on December 11, 2023. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, BurTech will be holding the Special Meeting via teleconference using the following dial-in information:

	US Toll Free			1 800-450-7155
	International Toll			+1 857-999-9155
	Conference ID			0728075#

The Notice of Special Meeting of Stockholders, the Proxy Statement and the proxy card accompany this letter are also available at https://www.cstproxy.com/burtechacq/2023. We are first mailing these materials to our stockholders on or about November 27, 2023.

As discussed in the enclosed Proxy Statement, the purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

(i) Proposal 1 — A proposal to amend BurTech’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), to:

(a) extend the date by which BurTech has to consummate a business combination up to twelve (12) times (the “Charter Amendment”), each such extension for an additional one (1) month period (each an “Extension”), from December 15, 2023 to December 15, 2024 (such date actually extended being referred to as the “Extended Termination Date”); and

(b) to change Section 4.3 (b)(i) of the Charter to allow the holders of shares of Class B common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class B common stock”), to convert their shares of Class B common stock to shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share(the “Class A common stock”), at the option of the holder (the “Class B Share Amendment”). We refer to these proposals as the “Charter Amendment Proposals;”

(ii) Proposal 2 — A proposal to amend BurTech’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of December 15, 2021 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), allowing the Company to extend the Extended Termination Date another twelve (12) times, each such extension for an additional one (1) month period, until December 15, 2024, by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A common stock or $125,000 (the “Extension Payment”) for each one-month Extension (or up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 for the total twelve-month period), (the “Trust Amendment”) (we refer to this proposal as the “Trust Amendment Proposal”); and

(iii) Proposal 3 — A proposal to direct the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates (the “Adjournment”), if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the foregoing proposal (we refer to this proposal as the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Although the Company has identified a target for a potential business combination target company (the “Target”) for its initial business combination (the “Initial Business Combination”), the parties have not yet entered into a definitive agreement.

The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow the Company additional time to complete an Initial Business Combination. The Company’s prospectus for its initial public offering (“IPO”) and its Charter provide that the Company has until December 15, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to complete an initial business combination. There is not sufficient time before December 15, 2023 for the Company to complete the Initial Business Combination given the projected timetable or filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form S-4 (the “Initial Business Combination Registration Statement”), and having it declared effective prior to holding a Special Meeting of the Company to consider any Initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date that the Company has to consummate an initial business combination.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company would have up to an additional twelve months after the Original Termination Date to consummate an Initial Business Combination until December 15, 2024.

Upon the closing of the Company’s IPO, approximately $292.2 million was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and held as cash or invested only in U.S. government securities.

Prior Extension

At a special meeting of stockholders held on March 10, 2023 (the “Extension Meeting”), the Company’s stockholders approved (i) a proposal to amend its amended and restated certificate of incorporation, and (ii) a proposal to amend the Management Trust Agreement with the Transfer Agent, to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination until December 15, 2023.

In connection with the stockholders’ vote at the Extension Meeting, 22,119,297 shares were tendered for redemption. As a result, approximately $228 million (approximately $10.31 per share) was removed from the Trust Account to pay such stockholders. Following redemptions, the Company had approximately $68 million in the Company’s trust account.

THE FUNDS HELD IN THE COMPANY’S TRUST ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY INTEREST THEREON, WILL NOT BE USED TO PAY FOR ANY EXCISE TAX LIABILITIES WITH RESPECT TO ANY FUTURE REDEMPTIONS PRIOR TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY EXTENSION, AN INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION OR THE LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY.

The Board has fixed the close of business on November 16, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof (the “Record Date”). On the Record Date, there were 7,960,203 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, (the “Class A common stock”), and 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”), issued and outstanding. The shares of Class B common stock are convertible into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. The Class A common stock and the Class B common stock are collectively referred to as the Company’s “Common Stock.” The 6,630,703 public shares of Class A common stock are referred to as the “Public Shares.” Only holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock on the Record Date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Each of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement. The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow BurTech more time to complete its Initial Business combination.

The Company’s Current Charter and Trust Agreement provide that BurTech has only until December 15, 2023 to complete a business combination. If both the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will instead have the right to extend the time to consummate a business combination from December 15, 2023 on a month-to-month and as needed basis, until December 15, 2024.

The Company’s Sponsor or any of its affiliates (the “Contributors”) have agreed that if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, they will contribute to the Trust Account the lower of $0.025 per non-redeemed share or $125,000 for each one-month Extension, paid on a month-to-month and as-needed basis, (each being referred to herein as a “Contribution”), upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadlines, to extend the Combination Period for an additional one month period each time, for up to twelve (12) times, until December 15, 2024. Each Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within two business days prior to the beginning of the additional extension period. If the Company extends the time to complete a business combination to December 15, 2024, the Contributors would make aggregate Contributions in the amount of up to $1,500,000.

The Contributors will not make any Contribution unless the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are both approved and the Extension Termination Date is extended. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest. The contributions will be lost if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. The Company will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending the time to complete a business combination until the Extended Termination Date, and if the Company determines not to continue extending for an additional period, any obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, or if the Company’s board of directors otherwise determines that the Company will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Termination Date and does not wish to seek an additional Extension, the Company would wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the same procedures set forth below that would be applicable if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved.

Background

If BurTech is unable to complete its initial business combination by December 15, 2023 (or as extended as described herein), it would (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, at a per-share of common stock price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to BurTech (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as holders of public shares of Class A common stock (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law. As promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board, BurTech would dissolve and liquidate, subject to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

Failure to Timely Complete a Business Combination

As disclosed in the Company’s prospectus dated December 09, 2021 in connection with its initial public offering (the “IPO”), pursuant to the Trust Agreement, as amended, and the Company’s Charter, if BurTech

does not complete its initial Business Combination by December 15, 2023, BurTech would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up the Company.

BurTech and its board of directors have determined that there will not be sufficient time before December 15, 2023 to hold a Special Meeting to obtain stockholder approval of, and to consummate, an Initial Business combination. Accordingly, BurTech’s board has determined that, given BurTech’s expenditure of time, effort and money on identifying a suitable company as a target business and completing its initial business combination, it is in the best interests of its stockholders to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal in order to amend the Charter and to amend the Trust Agreement. Assuming that the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are so approved, and both the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, BurTech will have to consummate an initial business combination before the Extended Termination Date.

You are not being asked to vote on any business combination at this time. If the Charter Amendment Proposals the Trust Amendment Proposal is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your shares of Class A common stock now, you will retain the right to vote on an Initial Business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your shares of Class A common stock into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event a business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Termination Date.

If BurTech’s board of directors determines that BurTech will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Termination Date, BurTech would then look to wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock.

In connection with the Charter Amendment Proposal, public stockholders may elect (the “Election”) to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to BurTech to pay franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment, and an Election can also be made by public stockholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Special Meeting. Public stockholders may make an Election regardless of whether such public stockholders were holders as of the record date. If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares of Class A common stock will retain their right to redeem their public shares of Class A common stock when the Initial Business combination is submitted to the stockholders, subject to any limitations set forth in our Charter, as amended by the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Each redemption of shares of Class A common stock by our public stockholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account, which held approximately $[68] million of marketable securities as of November [*], 2023. In addition, public stockholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if BurTech has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date. Our sponsor, our officers and directors and our other initial stockholders, own an aggregate of 10,385,750 shares of our common stock, which include 9,487,500 shares Class B shares of common stock which we refer to as the “Founder Shares”, that were issued prior to our IPO and 898,250 shares of Class A common stock that were part of the private units purchased by our sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO (the “Private Placement Shares”). In addition, if the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved, the holders of shares of Class B common stock have expressed an interest to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock.

We have issued to EF Hutton, a division of Benchmark Investments, LLC or their affiliates, as representative of the underwriters in our IPO (the “Representative”), 431,250 shares of our Class A common stock in connection with the consummation of the IPO (including share issued upon exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option). We refer to such shares of Class A common stock as the “Representative Shares.” The holders of the Representative Shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any such shares without our prior consent until the completion of our initial business combination. In addition, the holders of the Representative Shares have agreed (i) to waive their redemption rights (or right to participate in any tender offer) with respect to such shares in connection with the completion of our initial

business combination and (ii) to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to such shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by the Original Termination Date.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or December 7, 2023). You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

As of November [*], 2023, there was approximately $68 million in the Trust Account. If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension Termination Date is extended to December 15, 2024, the redemption price per share at the meeting for the Initial Business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.** per share (without taking into account any interest), in comparison to the current redemption price of approximately $10.** per share. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on November [*], 2023 was $10.**. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment proposals are not approved, and we do not consummate a business combination by December 15, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Charter and the Trust Agreement, we 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 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, at a per- share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any interest not previously released to us (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of a liquidation, our sponsor, Representative, our officers and directors and our other initial stockholders will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares, the Representative Shares or the Private Placement Shares.

The withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete the Business Combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, including the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares and the Representative Shares, will be required to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are 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 Charter Amendment Proposals unless our stockholders approve both the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the board of directors has determined that each of the proposals are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Special Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

Sincerely,

/s/ Shahal Khan

Background

BurTech was incorporated in Delaware on March 02, 2021 and was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. As disclosed in the Company’s prospectus dated December 09, 2021 in connection with its initial public offering (the “IPO”), pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and the Company’s Charter, if BurTech was unable to complete its initial business combination within such period (as extended as described herein), it would (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, at a per-share of common stock price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to BurTech (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as holders of shares of Class A common stock (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law. As promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board, BurTech would dissolve and liquidate, subject to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow the Company additional time to find an appropriate company as a target in order to complete an Initial Business Combination. The Company’s prospectus for its IPO and its Charter provide that the Company has until December 15, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to complete an initial business combination. There is not sufficient time before December 15, 2023 for the Company to complete an Initial Business Combination given the projected timetable, to file a registration statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Initial Business Combination Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and having it declared effective prior to holding a Special Meeting of the Company to consider an Initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date that the Company has to consummate an initial business combination.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company would have up to an additional twelve months after the Original Termination Date to consummate the Initial Business Combination until December 15, 2024.

Prior Extension

The Board has fixed the close of business on November 16, 2023 as the record date for determining the Company’s stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof (the “Record Date”). On the Record Date, there were 7,960,203 shares of Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value, issued and outstanding, 6,630,703 of which are public shares (the “Class A common stock” and “Public Shares”) and 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Class B common stock” and together referred to as the “Common Stock”), issued and outstanding. Only holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock on the Record Date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Company’s Sponsor, or any of its affiliates (the “Contributors”) have agreed that if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, they will contribute to the Trust

Account the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A common stock or $125,000 for each one-month Extension, paid on a month-to-month and as-needed basis, (each being referred to herein as a “Contribution”), upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadlines, to extend the Combination Period for an additional one (1) month period each time, for up to twelve (12) times, until December 15, 2024. Each Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within two business days prior to the beginning of the additional extension period (or portion thereof), other than the first Contribution which will be made on the day of the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal. If the Company extends the time to complete a business combination to December 15, 2024, the Contributors would make aggregate Contributions in the amount of $1,500,000.

The Contributors will not make any Contribution unless the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension Termination Date is extended. The Contribution(s) will not bear any interest. The contributions will be lost if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. The Company will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending the time to complete a business combination until the Extended Termination Date, and if the Company determines not to continue extending for an additional period, any obligation to make additional Contributions will terminate. If this occurs, or if the Company’s board of directors otherwise determines that the Company will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Termination Date and does not wish to seek an additional Extension, the Company would wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock in accordance with the same procedures set forth below that would be applicable if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved.

The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow BurTech more time to complete its Initial Business Combination. BurTech’s Charter provides that BurTech has only until December 15, 2023 to complete a business combination.

You are being asked to consider and vote upon (x) a proposal to amend the Company’s Charter (such amendment, the “Charter Amendment Proposal”) and to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Amendment Proposal”) to allow the Board to extend the date to consummate a business combination on an as-needed, month-to-month basis, from December 15, 2023 to December 15, 2024 (the latest such date actually extended being referred to as the “Extended Termination Date”), without another stockholder vote, the date by which, if the Company has not consummated a merger, merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar business combination involving one or more businesses or entities, the Company must: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as holders of shares of Class A common stock, at a per-share of Class A common stock price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to BurTech (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A common stock (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law; and (y) a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting if necessary.

Why is the Company proposing the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal?

the exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, the Company consummated the private placement for the sale of private units (“Private Placement”) with BurTech LP, LLC (the “Sponsor”) containing an aggregate of 898,250 shares of Class A common stock (the “Private Placement Shares”). $291,812,500 from the net proceeds of the units sold in the IPO and the Private Placement was placed in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of the persons holding Public Shares (“Public Stockholders”).

Our Charter provides for the return of the IPO proceeds held in the trust account to the holders of Public Shares if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before December 15, 2023. The Company has identified a potential business combination target company (the “Target”) for an initial business combination (the “Initial Business Combination”). The Company believes the Target is a compelling opportunity for the Company’s initial business combination and is currently in the process of completing an initial business combination involving the Target.

The Company believes that given its expenditure of time, effort, and money searching for potential business combination opportunities, the Public Stockholders of the Company should be given an opportunity to consider and vote on an Initial Business Combination. We do not believe that we will have sufficient time to consummate the Initial Business Combination prior to December 15, 2023. In addition, the Company is proposing to amend its Charter to allow the holders of shares of Class B common stock to convert their shares into shares of Class A common stock.

Therefore, we are seeking approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals. Furthermore, the Board believes that it is in the best interests of the stockholders to continue the Company’s existence in order to allow the Company more time to complete the Initial Business Combination. Accordingly, the Board is proposing the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal to extend the Company’s corporate existence and time to complete the Initial Business Combination.

YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON THE INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION AT THIS TIME. IF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS IS APPROVED AND THE CHARTER AMENDMENT IS FILED AND YOU DO NOT ELECT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES NOW, YOU WILL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON THE INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION WHEN IT IS SUBMITTED TO STOCKHOLDERS AND THE RIGHT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN THE EVENT THE INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION IS APPROVED AND COMPLETED OR THE COMPANY HAS NOT CONSUMMATED A BUSINESS COMBINATION BY THE EXTENDED DATE (OR THE ADDITIONAL EXTENSION DATE, IF APPLICABLE).

Why should I vote for the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal?

The Board believes stockholders will benefit from the Company’s consummating the Initial Business Combination and is proposing the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal to extend the date by which the Company has to complete the Initial Business Combination. Approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal would give the Company additional time to complete an Initial Business Combination and would allow you as a stockholder the benefit of voting for the Initial Business Combination and remaining a stockholder in the post-business combination company, if you desire. Accordingly, we believe that the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal is consistent with the spirit in which the Company offered its securities to the public in the IPO.

You will have redemption rights in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

May I redeem my Public Shares in connection with the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal?

Yes. Under our Charter, the submission of a matter to amend our Charter entitles holders of Public Shares to redeem their shares for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account established at the time of the IPO. Holders of Public Shares do not need to vote against the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal or be a holder of record on the Record Date to exercise their redemption rights.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, with respect to holders’ right to redeem, the Company will (i) remove from the trust account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the trust account relating to any Public Shares redeemed by holders in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, if any, and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed Public Shares their pro rata portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the trust account and be available for use by the Company to complete an Initial Business Combination on or before each Extension date, if applicable. Holders of Public Shares who do not redeem their Public Shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on the Initial Business Combination.

Will the Company be affected by the Excise Tax included in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022?

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any publicly traded domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities are trading on Nasdaq, we will be a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IR Act. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury (the “Treasury”), who has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax, the Excise Tax may apply to any redemptions of our common stock after December 31, 2022, including redemptions in connection with an Initial Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, unless an exemption is available. The Excise Tax would be payable by the Company and not by the redeeming holders. Generally, issuances of securities in connection with our Initial Business Combination transaction (including any PIPE transaction at the time of our Initial Business Combination), as well as any other issuances of securities not in connection with our Initial Business Combination, would be expected to reduce the amount of the Excise Tax in connection with redemptions occurring in the same calendar year, but the number of securities redeemed may exceed the number of securities issued.

Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the Excise Tax in connection with a business combination, extension vote or otherwise would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Initial Business Combination, extension vote or otherwise, (ii) the structure of a business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any “PIPE” or other equity issuances in connection with a business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with a business combination but issued within the same taxable year of a business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other guidance from the Treasury. Consequently, the Excise Tax may make a transaction with us less appealing to potential business combination targets. Finally, based on recently issued interim guidance from the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury, subject to certain exceptions, the Excise Tax should not apply in the event of our complete liquidation.

Will funds in trust, including any interest thereon, be used, now or in the future, to pay for any Excise Tax imposed under the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022?

Funds in trust, including any interest thereon, will not be used, now or in the future, to pay for any Excise Tax imposed under the IR Act. To the extent there are insufficient funds in the Company’s working capital to fund the payment of any potential Excise Taxes that may become due upon a redemption of public shares in connection with a liquidation of the Company in 2023 if we do not effect a business combination prior to December 21, 2023, our Sponsor has agreed to contribute to us

(which may be by working capital loan) funds necessary to make any such potential Excise Tax payment without using proceeds (including interest income) from the trust account.

Why is the Company proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

To allow the Company more time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, in the event the Company does not receive the requisite stockholder vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal.

How do the Company’s executive officers, directors and affiliates intend to vote their shares?

All of the Company’s directors, executive officers and their respective affiliates, as well as the Sponsor, are expected to vote any shares of Common Stock over which they have voting control (including any Public Shares owned by them) in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

Our executive officers and directors are not entitled to redeem such shares in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, they held 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock and 898,250 shares of Class A common stock representing approximately 60% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

What vote is required to adopt the proposals?

Charter Amendment Proposals. The Charter Amendment Proposals must be approved by the affirmative vote of more than 65% of the holders of Common Stock who, being present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

Trust Amendment Proposal. The Trust Amendment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of more than 65% of the holders of Common Stock who, being present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of more than 65% of the holders of Common Stock who, being present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

What if I do not want to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Trust Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal?

If you do not want to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Trust Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, you must vote against each proposal. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are 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 Charter Amendment Proposals unless our stockholders approve both the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect.

Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the trust account?

Other than the twelve (12) month-to-month Extensions from December 15, 2023 until December 15, 2024, the Extended Termination Date, as applicable, as of the date of this proxy statement, we do not anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate a business combination, although we may determine to do so in the future, if necessary.

What happens if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved?

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved at the Special Meeting, and we have not consummated a Business Combination by December 15, 2023, it will trigger our automatic winding up, liquidation and dissolution of the Company pursuant to the terms of our Charter. No vote would be required from our stockholders to commence such a voluntary winding up, liquidation and dissolution under the terms of our Charter.

If we are forced to liquidate the Trust Account, we anticipate that we would distribute to our Public Stockholders the amount in the trust account calculated as of the date that is two days prior to the

distribution date (including any accrued interest). Prior to such distribution, we would be required to assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us by our creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts, as creditors take priority over our Public Stockholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. We cannot assure you that we will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation. Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the trust account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will not seek recourse against the trust account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.

Our stockholders as of immediately prior to our IPO, including our Sponsor (our “Initial Stockholders”) and the Representative, have agreed to waive their rights to participate in any liquidation of our trust account or other assets with respect to the shares of Class B common stock held or controlled by our Initial Stockholders prior to the IPO (“Founder Shares”), the Representative Shares and the Private Placement Shares purchased simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, and to vote their Founder Shares, Representative Shares and Private Placement Shares in favor of any dissolution and plan of distribution which we submit to a vote of stockholders. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up.

What happens to the Company’s warrants if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved?

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, we will retain the blank check company restrictions previously applicable to us and continue to attempt to consummate a Business Combination until the Extended Termination Date. The public warrants will remain outstanding and only become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, provided that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise warrants on a cashless basis).

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company will continue to attempt to consummate the Initial Business Combination until the Extended Termination Date on December 15, 2024, or an earlier date on which the Board otherwise determines in its sole discretion that it will not be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Extended Termination Date, and does not wish to seek an additional extension. We will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and our units, Class A common stock and public warrants will remain publicly traded.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account, if any, will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of Company shares of Common Stock held by the Company’s officers, directors and their affiliates.

Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in the future if I vote against any subsequently initial business combination?

Unless you elect to redeem your shares in connection with this stockholder vote to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, you will be able to vote on any subsequent Initial Business combination when it is submitted to Stockholders. If you disagree with the Initial Business Combination, you will retain your right to vote against it and/or redeem your Public Shares upon consummation of the Initial Business Combination in connection with the stockholder vote to approve such business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Charter.

How do I change my vote?

If you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, or revoke your proxy,

you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to Advantage Proxy, Inc. (“Advantage”), the Company’s proxy solicitation agent at: Toll Free: 877-870-8565; Collect: 206-870-8565, Email: ksmith@advantageproxy.com, prior to the commencement of the Special Meeting.

How are votes counted?

The Company’s proxy agent, Advantage will be appointed as inspector of election for the meeting. Votes will be counted by the inspector of election, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes.

Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the holders of Common Stock who, being present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, vote at the Special Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the proposals. As a result, if you abstain from voting on any of the proposals, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with the terms of our Charter), but the abstention will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.

If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically vote my shares for me?

No. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a proposal is determined to be discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a proposal is determined to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. The Company believes that the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other holder of record holding your shares for you cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary Proposal because the holder of record has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Proposals. As a result, if you abstain from voting on any of the Proposals, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with the terms of the Charter), but the abstention will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.

What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at the Special Meeting?

At the Special Meeting, BurTech will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with

respect to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals.

If a stockholder who holds share in “street name” does not give the broker voting instructions, the broker is not permitted under applicable self-regulatory organization rules to vote the shares on “non- routine” proposals, such as the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. These “broker non-votes” will also count as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the Proposals.

What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without indicating how I wish to vote?

Signed and dated proxies received by BurTech without an indication of how the stockholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted as recommended by the Board.

If I am not going to attend the Special Meeting, should I return my proxy card instead?

Yes. Whether you plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually or not, please read the proxy statement carefully, and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Special Meeting. You may revoke your proxy by executing and returning a proxy card dated later than the previous one, or by voting again via the Internet, or by submitting a written revocation stating that you would like to revoke your proxy that our proxy solicitor receives prior to the Special Meeting. If you hold your Public Shares through a bank, brokerage firm or nominee, you should follow the instructions of your bank, brokerage firm or nominee regarding the revocation of proxies. If you are a record holder, you should send any notice of revocation or your completed new proxy card, as the case may be, to:

Advantage Proxy, Inc.
P.O. Box 13581
Des Moines, WA 98198
Toll Free: 877-870-8565
Collect: 206-870-8565
Email: ksmith@advantageproxy.com

Unless revoked, a proxy will be voted at the Special Meeting in accordance with the stockholder’s indicated instructions. In the absence of instructions, proxies which have been signed and returned will be voted FOR each of the Proposals.

What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

You may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/ prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

What is a quorum requirement?

A quorum of Stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. Holders of a majority of the issued shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, present in person (including virtually) or represented by proxy, constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the Special Meeting will either stand adjourned to the same day/time/place in the following week or will be adjourned to such other day/time/place as the board of directors decides. As of the Record Date for the Special Meeting, 872,386 Public Shares, in the aggregate, would be required to achieve a quorum.

Who can vote at the Special Meeting?

Only holders of record of the Company’s Public Shares at the close of business on November 16, 2023 are entitled to have their vote counted at the Special Meeting and any adjournments or postponements thereof. For the purposes of this Proxy Statement “holders of record” means the persons entered in the

register of members of the Company as the holders of the relevant shares of Common Stock. On the Record Date, there were 17,447,703 shares of Common Stock outstanding of the Company, including 6,630,703 outstanding Public Shares.

Stockholder of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a stockholder of record. As a stockholder of record, you may vote in person (including virtually) at the Special Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting virtually, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.

Beneficial Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the Record Date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the Special Meeting. However, since you are not the stockholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting unless you request and obtain a valid proxy from your broker or other agent.

Does the Board recommend voting for the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal. and the Adjournment Proposal?

Yes. The Board recommends that the Company’s Stockholders vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

What interests do the Company’s directors and officers have in the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal?

The Company’s directors, officers and their affiliates have interests in the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, but are not limited to, beneficial ownership of insider shares and rights that will become worthless if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved. See the section entitled “Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers.”

What if I object to the Charter Amendment Proposals or the Trust Amendment Proposal? Do I have appraisal rights?

Company Stockholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Charter Amendment Proposals or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

What do I need to do now?

You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement and to consider how the proposals will affect you as a stockholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

How do I redeem my Public Shares of the Company?

In connection with the Special Meeting and the vote on the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, each Public Stockholder may seek to redeem its Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, less any taxes we anticipate will be owed on such funds but have not yet been paid. Holders of Public Shares do not need to vote on the Charter Amendment Proposals, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, each Public Stockholder may seek to redeem its Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the trust account, less or be a holder of record on the Record Date to exercise redemption rights.

To demand redemption, if you hold physical certificates for Public Shares, you must physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team at Email: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com no later than two business days prior to the Special Meeting. If you hold your Public Shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must deliver your shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System two business days prior to the Special Meeting to demand redemption. You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment.

Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies?

BurTech will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. BurTech has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. (“Advantage”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. BurTech has agreed to pay Advantage a fee of up to $8,500, plus disbursements. BurTech will reimburse Advantage for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

BACKGROUND

The Company

BurTech was incorporated in Delaware on March 02, 2021 and was formed for the purpose of entering into a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar Business Combination with one or more businesses or entities. BurTech has up to December 15, 2023 to consummate a Business Combination (if the time to complete a business combination is extended). If BurTech is unable to complete its initial business combination within such period (as extended as described herein), it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, at a per-share of common stock price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to BurTech (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as holders of shares of common stock (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law. As promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board, BurTech will dissolve and liquidate, subject to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Following the closing of the IPO on December 15, 2021 and the underwriters’ exercise of over- allotment option on December 13, 2021, approximately $292.2 million from the net proceeds of the sale of the Public Units in the IPO (each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one redeemable warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share) and the sale of the Private Units was placed in a trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee (the “Trust Account”). The Private Units are the same as the Public Units. The funds held in the Trust Account is invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, so that BurTech is not deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act except with respect to interest earned on

the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to BurTech to pay its income or other tax obligations, the proceeds will not be released from the Trust Account until the earlier of the completion of a Business Combination or the redemption of 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock if BurTech has not completed a Business Combination in the required time period. The proceeds held in the Trust Account may be used as consideration to pay the sellers of a target business with which BurTech completes a Business Combination. Any amounts not paid as consideration to the sellers of the target business may be used to finance operations of the target business.

Prior Extension

The Company is still in the process of completing a potential business combination with a target company (the “Target”) for an initial business combination (the “Initial Business Combination”).

Our Charter provides for the return of the IPO proceeds held in the trust account to the holders of Public Shares if it has not consummated a business combination(s) on or before December 15, 2023. The Company believes the Target is a compelling opportunity for the Company’s initial business combination and is currently in the process of completing an initial business combination involving the Target.

The mailing address of our principal executive office is: 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004.

Failure to Timely to Complete an Initial Business Combination

As disclosed in the Company’s prospectus dated December 09, 2021 in connection with its initial public offering (the “IPO”), pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and the Company’s Charter, if BurTech does not complete the initial Business Combination by December 15, 2023, it would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up the Company.

BurTech and its board of directors have determined that there will not be sufficient time before December 15, 2023 to file the Initial Business Combination Registration Statement related to, or to hold a Special Meeting to obtain stockholder approval of, and to consummate, the Initial Business Combination. Accordingly, BurTech’s board has determined that, given BurTech’s expenditure of time, effort and money on identifying a suitable company as a target business and completing its initial business combination, it is in the best interests of its stockholders to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal in order to amend the Charter and to amend the Trust Agreement. Assuming that the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are so approved, and both the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, BurTech will have to consummate an initial business combination before the Extended Termination Date.

YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON ANY BUSINESS COMBINATION AT THIS TIME. IF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL ARE IMPLEMENTED AND YOU DO NOT ELECT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK NOW, YOU WILL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON AN INITIAL BUSINESS COMBINATION WHEN IT IS SUBMITTED TO STOCKHOLDERS AND THE RIGHT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK INTO A PRO

RATA PORTION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN THE EVENT A BUSINESS COMBINATION IS APPROVED AND COMPLETED OR THE COMPANY HAS NOT CONSUMMATED A BUSINESS COMBINATION BY THE EXTENDED TERMINATION DATE.

In connection with the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, public stockholders may elect (the “Election”) to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to BurTech to pay franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, regardless of whether such public stockholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal, and an Election can also be made by public stockholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Special Meeting. Public stockholders may make an Election regardless of whether such public stockholders were holders as of the record date. If the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, the remaining holders of public shares of Class A common stock will retain their right to redeem their public shares of Class A common stock when the Initial Business combination is submitted to the stockholders, subject to any limitations set forth in our Charter, as amended by the Charter Amendment Proposal. Each redemption of shares by our public stockholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account, which held approximately $68 million of marketable securities as of November [*], 2023. In addition, public stockholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if BurTech has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date. Our sponsor, our officers and directors and our other initial stockholders, own an aggregate of 10,385,750 shares of our common stock, which includes 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock that we refer to as the “Founder Shares”, issued prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) and 898,250 shares of our Class A common stock, which we refer to as the “Private Placement Shares”, that were included in the units purchased in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. In addition, if the Charter Amendment Proposals are approved, the holders of Founder Shares have expressed an interest to convert such shares into Class A common stock.

was $10.**. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by December 15, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Charter, we 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 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any interest not previously released to us (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and (iii) above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. In the event of a liquidation, our sponsor, our officers and directors and our other initial stockholders, including the Representative, will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares, the Representative Shares or the Private Placement Shares.

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares and the Representative Shares, will be required to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are 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 Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal unless our stockholders approve both the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Our board has fixed the close of business on November 16, 2023 as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Voting Rights and Revocation of Proxies

The record date with respect to this solicitation is the close of business on November 16, 2023 (the “Record Date”) and only stockholders of record at that time will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

The shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) represented by all validly executed proxies received in time to be taken to the Special Meeting and not previously revoked will be voted at the meeting. This proxy may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to its being voted by filing with the Secretary of the Company either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. We intend to release this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card to our stockholders on or about November 27, 2023.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

Holders of shares of our Common Stock do not have appraisal rights under Delaware law or under the governing documents of the Company in connection with this solicitation.

Outstanding Shares and Quorum

The number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (which includes the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock) entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is 17,447,703. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. The presence in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting of the holders of 8,723,852 shares, or a majority of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, will constitute a quorum. There is no cumulative voting. Shares that abstain or for which the authority to vote is withheld on certain matters (so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as present for quorum purposes on all matters. As of the Record Date for the Special Meeting, Only 872,386 Public Shares, in the aggregate, would be required to achieve a quorum. The Company’s warrants do not carry voting rights.

Broker Non-Votes

Holders of shares of our Class A common stock that are held in street name must instruct their bank or brokerage firm that holds their shares how to vote their shares. If a stockholder does not give instructions to his or her bank or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote the shares with respect to “routine” items, but it will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” items. In the case of a non-routine item, such shares will be considered “broker non-votes” on that proposal.

Proposal 1 (Charter Amendment Proposals) is a matter that we believe will be considered “non-routine.”

Proposal 2 (Trust Amendment Proposal) is a matter that we believe will be considered “non-routine.”

Proposal 3 (Adjournment Proposal) is a matter that we believe will be considered “routine.”

Banks or brokerages cannot use discretionary authority to vote shares on Proposals 1 or 2 if they have not received instructions from their clients. Please submit your vote instruction form so your vote is counted.

Required Votes for Each Proposal to Pass

Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting:

Proposal Required	Vote	Broker Discretionary Vote Allowed
Charter Amendment Proposal	More than 65% of outstanding shares	No
Trust Amendment Proposal	More than 65% of outstanding shares	No
Adjournment	Majority of the outstanding shares represented by virtual attendance or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting	Yes

Abstentions will count as a vote against each of the proposals.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our board, you should keep in mind that the Company’s initial stockholders, sponsor, officers, directors and advisors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•

the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for its Founder Shares and such securities will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Initial Business Combination;

•

the fact that if the Initial Business Combination is not approved, in accordance with our Charter, the 9,487,500 Founder Shares held by our sponsor, our officers and directors, which were acquired prior to the IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, will be worthless (as the holders have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the 898,250 Private Placement Shares included in the private units that were acquired simultaneously with the IPO in the private placement for an aggregate purchase price of $8,982,500 and the additional 93,750 Private Placement Shares that were included in the private units acquired in connection with the exercise of the overallotment option for an aggregate purchase price of $937,500. Irrespective of existing lock-up agreements that

impose restrictions on the transfer of the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares, such Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $** million based on the last sale price of $10.**, on Nasdaq on November [*], 2023;

•

if we are unable to complete a business combination and distribute the proceeds held in trust to our public stockholders, our sponsor has agreed (subject to certain exceptions) that it will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the trust account are not reduced below $10.15 per share by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by us for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to us;

•

all rights specified in the Company’s Charter relating to the right of officers and directors to be indemnified by the Company, and of the Company’s officers and directors to be exculpated from monetary liability with respect to prior acts or omissions, will continue after a business combination. If the Initial Business Combination is not approved and the Company liquidates, the Company will not be able to perform its obligations to its officers and directors under those provisions; and

•

our sponsor, officers, directors, initial stockholders or their affiliates, are entitled to reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations. However, if the Company fails to consummate the Initial Business Combination, they will not have any claim against the trust account for reimbursement. Accordingly, the Company will most likely not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Initial Business Combination is not completed. As of November [*], 2023 no out-of-pocket expenses are owed to BurTech’s officers, directors and Sponsor.

Additionally, if the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Extension is implemented and the Company consummates an initial business combination, the officers and directors may have additional interests that would be described in the proxy statement for such transaction.

Voting Procedures

Each share of our Class A common stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Special Meeting. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of our common stock that you own.

•

You can vote your shares in advance of the Special Meeting by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of our Class A common stock will be voted as recommended by our board of directors. Our board of directors recommends voting “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

•

You can attend the Special Meeting and vote telephonically even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy. However, if your shares of common stock are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of common stock.

Solicitation of Proxies

Your proxy is being solicited by our board on the proposals being presented to stockholders at the Special Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy, Inc. (“Advantage”) its customary fee and out-of-pocket expenses. The Company will reimburse Advantage for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition to these mailed proxy materials, our directors and officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional

compensation for soliciting proxies. We may also reimburse brokerage firms, banks and other agents for the cost of forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners. You may contact Advantage at:

Advantage Proxy, Inc.
P.O. Box 13581
Des Moines, WA 98198
Toll Free: 877-870-8565
Collect: 206-870-8565
Email: ksmith@advantageproxy.com

The cost of preparing, assembling, printing and mailing this Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy, and the cost of soliciting proxies relating to the Special Meeting, will be borne by the Company.

Some banks and brokers have customers who beneficially own common stock listed of record in the names of nominees. We intend to request banks and brokers to solicit such customers and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such solicitations. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding common stock is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly.

Delivery of Proxy Materials to Stockholders

Only one copy of this Proxy Statement will be delivered to an address where two or more stockholders reside with the same last name or whom otherwise reasonably appear to be members of the same family based on the stockholders’ prior express or implied consent.

We will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of this Proxy Statement. If you share an address with at least one other stockholder, currently receive one copy of our Proxy Statement at your residence, and would like to receive a separate copy of our Proxy Statement for future stockholder meetings of the Company, please specify such request in writing and send such written request to BurTech Acquisition Corp., 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004; Attention: Secretary, or call the Company promptly at (202) 600-5757.

If you share an address with at least one other stockholder and currently receive multiple copies of our Proxy Statement, and you would like to receive a single copy of our Proxy Statement, please specify such request in writing and send such written request to BurTech Acquisition Corp., 1300 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20004; Attention: Secretary.

Conversion Rights

Pursuant to our currently existing charter, any holders of our public shares of Class A common stock may demand that such shares be converted for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account, less taxes payable, calculated as of two business days prior to the Special Meeting. Public stockholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposals and whether or not they are holders of our common stock as of the Record Date. If you properly exercise your conversion rights, your shares will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two business days prior to the Special Meeting). For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $68 million on November [*], 2023, the estimated per share conversion price would have been approximately $10.**.

In order to exercise your conversion rights, you must:

•

submit a request in writing prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on December [*], 2023 (two business days before the Special Meeting) that we convert your public shares of Class A common stock for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, NY 10004
Attn: SPAC Redemption Team
Email: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

and

•

deliver your shares of Class A common stock either physically or electronically through DTC to our transfer agent at least two business days before the Special Meeting. Stockholders seeking to exercise their conversion rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is our understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, we do not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Stockholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their broker, bank or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your shares of Class A common stock as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Any demand for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising conversion requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with our consent. If you delivered your shares for conversion to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your conversion rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

Prior to exercising conversion rights, stockholders should verify the market price of our common stock, as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their common stock in the public market than from exercising their conversion rights if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your shares of our common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the conversion price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in our common stock when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your conversion rights, your shares of our common stock will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Special Meeting (assuming the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved) and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account. You will no longer own those shares and will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly and timely request conversion.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by December 15, 2023, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders and our rights to convert into common stock will be worthless.

Holders of outstanding units must separate the underlying shares of Class A common stock and public warrants prior to exercising conversion rights with respect to the shares of Class A common stock.

If you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company with written instructions to separate such units into public shares of Class A common stock and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your conversion rights with respect to the public shares of Class A common stock upon the separation of the public shares of Class A common stock from the units.

If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your units. Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must include the number of units to be split and the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of public shares of Class A common stock and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your conversion rights with respect to the public shares of Class A common stock upon the separation of the public shares of Class A common stock from the units. While this is typically done electronically the same business day, you should allow at least one full business day to accomplish the separation. If you fail to cause your public shares of Class A common stock to be separated in a timely manner, you will likely not be able to exercise your conversion rights.

PROPOSAL 1: THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSALS

This is a proposal to amend BurTech’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Charter”), to extend the date by which BurTech has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) from December 15, 2023 to December 15, 2024 (the latest such date actually extended being referred to as the “Extended Termination Date”) and to amend Section 4.3 (b)(i) of the Charter to allow the holders of shares of Class B common stock to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holders thereof. (the “Charter Amendment Proposals”).The holders of shares of Class B common stock have expressed an interest to convert such shares into shares of Class A common stock.

All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed Charter Amendment Proposals in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. A copy of the proposed Charter Amendment Proposals is attached hereto as Annex A.

Reasons for the Proposed Charter Amendment Proposals

The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposals is to allow BurTech more time to complete its initial business combination. BurTech’s Charter provides that BurTech has only until December 15, 2023 to complete a business combination. In addition, allowing the holders of shares of Class B common stock to convert their shares into shares of Class A common stock at the option of the holder, will enable the Company to maintain a higher market value of listed securities to meet its continued listing requirements on Nasdaq Global Market.

Failure to Timely Complete a Business Combination

As disclosed in the Company’s prospectus dated December 09, 2021 in connection with its initial public offering (the “IPO”), pursuant to the Trust Agreement, and the Company’s Charter, as amended, if BurTech does not complete its initial Business Combination by December 15, 2023, BurTech would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up the Company.

BurTech and its board of directors have determined that there will not be sufficient time before December 15, 2023 to consummate the Business Combination. Accordingly, BurTech’s board has determined that, given BurTech’s expenditure of time, effort and money on identifying any company as a target business and completing its initial business combination, it is in the best interests of its stockholders to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal in order to amend the Charter and to amend the Trust Agreement. Assuming that the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are so approved, and both the Charter and the Trust Agreement are amended, BurTech will have to consummate an initial business combination before the Extended Termination Date.

entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if BurTech has not completed a business combination by the Extended Termination Date. Our sponsor, our officers and directors and our other initial stockholders, own an aggregate of 10,385,750 shares of our common stock, which includes 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock that we refer to as the “Founder Shares”, issued prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) and 898,250 shares of our Class A common stock, which we refer to as the “Private Placement Shares” that were included in the units purchased in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO. The holders of shares of Class B common stock have expressed an interest to convert their shares into shares of Class A shares of common stock.

Factors to Consider

When you consider the recommendation of our board, you should consider, among other things, the following benefits and detriments of the proposals to you as the public stockholders:

•

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Company extends the Combination Period to December 15, 2024, with twelve (12) one-month extensions each time after December 15, 2023, the additional redemption amount added to the trust account will the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A common stock or $125,000.

•

Public stockholders may seek to have their shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the proposals and whether or not they are holders of our Common Stock as of the Record Date. (See “Conversion Rights”).

•

Each redemption of shares by our public stockholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account, which held approximately $68 million of marketable securities as of November [*], 2023.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our board, you should also keep in mind that BurTech’s Sponsor, initial stockholders, officers and directors have interests in the proposals and the business combination that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•

BurTech’s Sponsor has a fiduciary obligation to its members and Shahal Khan, (BurTech’s Chief Executive Officer and Director) is the controlling member of our Sponsor. Roman Livson our Chief Financial Officer is also a member of our Sponsor. Each of Mr. Khan and Mr. Livson has a fiduciary obligation to both BurTech and the Sponsor, and may have a conflict of interest when voting.

•

If an initial business combination is not completed, BurTech will be required to dissolve and liquidate. In such event, the 9,487,500 Founder Shares which were acquired prior to the IPO and 898,250 Private Placement Shares included in the private placement units acquired in the private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO currently held by the initial stockholders, will be worthless because such holders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. The Founder Shares were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 and had an aggregate market value of approximately $** million, and the Private Placement Shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $** million, based on the closing price of $10.** per share of BurTech’s Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market as of November [*], 2023.

•

Because of these interests, BurTech’s initial stockholders could benefit from the completion of a business combination that is not favorable to its public stockholders and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to public stockholders rather than liquidate. For example, if the share price of the BurTech Common Stock declined to $5.00 per share after the close of the business combination, BurTech’s public stockholder that purchased shares in the initial public offering, would have a loss of $5.00 per share, while BurTech’s initial stockholders would have a gain of $4.13 per share because it acquired the Founder Shares for a nominal amount. In other words, BurTech’s initial stockholders can earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if public stockholders experience a negative rate of return in the post- combination company.

•

BurTech’s sponsor is BurTech LP, LLC (“Sponsor”), and its managing member is Shahal Khan. If an initial business combination, such as the Initial Business Combination, is not completed, the Sponsor will lose an aggregate of approximately $10.1 million, with the potential value of approximately $** million comprised of the following:

•

approximately $** million (based on the closing price of $10.** per share of BurTech Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market as of November [*], 2023) for the 9,487,500 Founder Shares and approximately $** million for the 898,250 Private Placement Shares that were included in the units sold in the private placement simultaneously with the IPO, that the Sponsor holds;

•

the $10,000 monthly administrative fee under the administrative support agreement pursuant to which BurTech may delay payment of the same until the consummation of a business combination.

Risks Related to Being Deemed an Investment Company

If we were deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), we may be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company.

There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) and we may in the future be subject to a claim that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our shares and warrants following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.

The longer that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate.

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company if such initial business combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

Our sponsor, BurTech LP, LLC is controlled by Shahal Khan, a USA citizen, and also our chief executive officer. Mr. Khan will not remain with the Company after the Initial Business Combination. For these reasons, we do not expect the post-combination company to be considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS. However, if our initial business combination with a U.S. business is subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business, this could delay us in consummating our business combination. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may

determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our stockholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by December 15, 2023 due to the passage of time relating to any governmental review, or because any such review process drags on beyond such timeframe, or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. In such situation, BurTech would (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding shares of common stock, at a per-share of common stock price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including any interest not previously released to BurTech (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as holders of shares of common stock (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law.

As promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, BurTech would dissolve and liquidate, subject to its obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $10.15 per share. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in the target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company, and our warrants will expire worthless.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company may extend the time to complete a business combination on an as-needed, month-to-month basis, until December 15, 2024.

As of November [*], 2023, there was approximately $68 million in the Trust Account. If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension Termination Date is extended on a monthly basis to December 15, 2024, the redemption price per share at the meeting for the Initial Business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.** per share (without taking into account any interest) in comparison to the current redemption price of approximately 10.** per share. The closing price of the Company’s common stock on November [*], 2023 was $10.**. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company’s common stock in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment proposals are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by December 15, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Charter, we 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 100% of the outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including any interest not previously released to us (net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares of Class A common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining stockholders and our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject (in the case of (ii) and above) to our obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our rights that were included in the units purchased in the public offering, which will be worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our sponsor, the Representative, our officers and directors and our other initial stockholders will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares, the Representative Shares or the Private Placement Shares.

Required Vote

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding common stock, including the Founder Shares, the Private Placement Shares and the Representative Shares, will be required to approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are 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 Charter Amendment Proposals unless our stockholders approve the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Charter Amendment Proposals or the Trust Amendment Proposal at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

You are not being asked to vote on any business combination at this time. If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares of Class A common stock now, you will retain the right to vote on an Initial Business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares of Class A common stock into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event a business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Termination Date.

Recommendation

The Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal.

PROPOSAL 2: THE TRUST AMENDMENT

The Trust Amendment

The proposed Trust Amendment Proposal would amend our existing Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated as of December 15, 2021, as amended, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), allowing the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination (the “Business Combination Period”) up to twelve (12) times on a month-to- month basis (each an “Extension”), each such extension for an additional one-month period, to December 15, 2024 (the “Trust Amendment”), by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A common stock or $125,000 (the “Extension Payment”) for each one-month Extension (up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 to be placed in the Trust Account for the full additional twelve-month period). A copy of the proposed Trust Amendment is attached to this proxy

statement as Annex B. All stockholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Reasons for the Trust Amendment

The purpose of the Trust Amendment Proposal is to give the Company the right to extend the Business Combination Period from December 15, 2023 up to twelve (12) times, each such Extension for an additional one-month period, until December 15, 2024, provided that the Extension Payment of the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A common stock or $125,000 is deposited into the Trust Account on or prior to the date of the same applicable deadline (or up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 for the total twelve-month period).

The Company’s current Charter and Trust Agreement provide that the Company has until December 15, 2023 to complete a business combination without the payment of additional amounts into the Company’s Trust Account.

BurTech and its board of directors have determined that there will not be sufficient time before December 15, 2023 (its current termination date) to hold a Special Meeting to obtain the requisite stockholder approval of, and to consummate, the Initial Business Combination. However, management believes that it can close the Initial Business Combination before December 15, 2024. Under the circumstances, the Company’s Sponsor or any of its affiliates (the “Contributors”) will pay the extension amount for each proposed one-month extension on an as-needed basis, up to twelve (12) times for each one-month extension. After consultation with the Company’s Contributors, BurTech’s management has reasons to believe that, if the Charter Amendment Proposals and Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Contributors will make a Contribution into the Trust Account as the first Extension Payment the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A common stock or $125,000, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadline, and extend the Combination Period for an additional one-month period each time until December 15, 2024, as needed. Each Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account within two business days prior to the beginning of the additional extension period (or portion thereof), other than the first Contribution which will be made on the day of the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal (or up to an aggregate of $1,500,000 for the total twelve-month period). The Contribution(s) will bear no interest. The Contributions will be lost by the Contributors if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account.

If the Trust Amendment Is Not Approved

If the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved, and we do not consummate an initial business combination by December 15, 2023, we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public stockholders.

The Company’s initial stockholders have waived their rights to participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to their insider shares. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the Trust Account.

If the Trust Amendment Proposal Is Approved

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form of Annex B hereto will be executed and the Trust Account will not be disbursed except in connection with our completion of the Initial Business Combination or in connection with our liquidation if we do not complete an initial business combination by the applicable termination date. The Company will then continue to attempt to consummate a business combination until the applicable termination date or until the Company’s Board of Directors determines in its sole discretion that it will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the applicable termination date as described below and does not wish to seek an additional extension.

Required Vote

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock, including the Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and the Representative Shares, will be

required to approve the Trust Amendment Proposal. Our Board will abandon and not implement the Trust Amendment Proposal unless our stockholders approve both the Charter Amendment Proposals and Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and Trust Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Charter Amendment and Trust Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on November 16, 2023, as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s Common Stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

You are not being asked to vote on any business combination at this time. If the Trust Amendment is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares of Class A common stock now, you will retain the right to vote on an initial business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares of Class A common stock into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event a business combination is approved and completed (as long as your election is made at least two (2) business days prior to the meeting at which the stockholders’ vote is sought) or the Company has not consummated the business combination by the applicable termination date.

Recommendation

The Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal. The Company’s Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal.

PROPOSAL 3: THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The adjournment proposal, if adopted, will request the chairman of the Special Meeting (who has agreed to act accordingly) to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The adjournment proposal will only be presented to our stockholders in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the other proposal in this proxy statement. If the adjournment proposal is not approved by our stockholders, the chairman of the meeting will not exercise his ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date (which he would otherwise have under the Chairman) in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the other proposal.

Required Vote

If a majority of the shares present in person or by proxy and voting on the matter at the Special Meeting vote for the adjournment proposal, the chairman of the Special Meeting will exercise his or her power to adjourn the meeting as set out above.

Recommendation

The Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the adjournment proposal.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place. The Special Meeting will be held at 11:30 a.m., ET on December 11, 2023 virtually at https://www.cstproxy.com/burtechacq/2023

Voting Power; Record Date. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting, if you owned Public Shares at the close of business on November 16, 2023, the Record Date for the Special Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, there were 17,447,703 shares of Common Stock outstanding each of which entitles its holder to cast one vote on the proposal. This includes 7,960,203 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Proxies; Board Solicitation. Your proxy is being solicited by the Board on the proposals being presented to stockholders at the Special Meeting. No recommendation is being made as to whether you should elect to redeem your shares. Proxies may be solicited in person or by telephone. If you grant a proxy, you may still revoke your proxy and vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting. Advantage is assisting the Company in the proxy solicitation process for this Special Meeting. The Company will pay that firm approximately $8,500 in fees, plus disbursements for such services.

Required Votes

If you do not want to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, you must vote against each proposal. The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are 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 Charter Amendment Proposals unless our stockholders approve both the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. This means that if one proposal is approved by the stockholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect.

The Sponsor, the Representative and all of the Company’s directors, executive officers, initial stockholders and their affiliates are expected to vote any Common Stock owned by them in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, our initial stockholders beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 10,385,750 shares of Common Stock, which includes 9,487,500 shares of Class B common stock and 898,250 shares of Class A common stock from the private placement, representing approximately 60% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Extension Amendment is effective, the Trust Amendment is executed and the Initial Business Combination is consummated, we expect that the post-Initial Business Combination Company will hold its 2024 annual meeting of stockholders in 2024. The date of such meeting and the date by which you may submit a proposal for inclusion in the proxy statement will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

If the Charter Amendment Proposals and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and the Initial Business Combination is not consummated, there will be no further annual meetings of the Company.

For example, if during the last month Extension, the Company does not deposit the lesser of $0.025 per unredeemed share of Class A Common Stock or $125,000 into the Trust Account by the last day of such one-month Extension, then the Last Date shall be the last day of the last paid Extension.”

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first written above.
