that are based on beliefs and assumptions and on information

Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other
statements about future events that are based on current
expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks
and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this

the consummation of the proposed transaction, including the
approval of the proposed transaction by BurTech’s stockholders, the
satisfaction of the minimum aggregate transaction proceeds amount
following redemptions by BurTech’s public stockholders and the
receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) the
failure to obtain adequate financing to complete the proposed
transaction and to support the future working capital needs of
Blaize and the combined company; (v) the effect of the pendency of
