Preliminary Redemption Results
Blue Ocean Acquisition Corp (the “Company”)
encourages shareholders to vote in favor of the following proposals: (i) the proposal to amend the Company’s amended articles of
association (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company must complete a business combination
from June 7, 2024 to December 7, 2024 by electing to extend the date to consummate an initial business combination on a monthly basis
for up to six times by an additional one month each time, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination has occurred
(the “Extension”), (ii) the proposal to ratify, by way of ordinary resolutions, the selection by the audit committee of the
Board of Marcum LLP (the “Auditor Ratification Proposal”) and (iii) the proposal to approve, by way of ordinary resolution,
the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting (as defined below) to a later date or dates, if necessary (the “Adjournment
Proposal”).
As disclosed in the Company’s definitive
proxy statement filed with the SEC on May 14, 2024, an extraordinary general meeting (“Extraordinary General Meeting”) of
the Company’s shareholders to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Auditor Ratification Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal
is scheduled to be held on May 29, 2024 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time.
As of 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on May 24, 2024,
the redemption deadline, holders of 4,415,265 Class A ordinary shares have elected to have their shares redeemed in connection with the
Extension, which would result in 1,741,950 Class A ordinary shares remaining outstanding after giving effect to such redemptions.
Shareholders may withdraw any election to have
their Class A ordinary shares redeemed in connection with the Extension prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders
who wish to withdraw redemptions should contact the Company’s transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, by
email at spacredemptions@continentalstock.com
