TruGolf, Inc. ("TruGolf”), a leading golf simulator manufacturer
and distributor with headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah, and Deep
Medicine Acquisition Corp. (“DMAQ”), a publicly traded special
purpose acquisition company, today announced that on December 27,
2023, that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has
declared effective the registration statement on Form S-4 (as
amended, the "Registration Statement") filed with the SEC related
to the previously announced business combination among TruGolf and
DMAQ (the "Business Combination"). DMAQ has also filed with the SEC
the definitive proxy statement for its special meeting of
stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to, among other things,
approve the Business Combination, which was first announced on
March 31, 2023.
“The National Golf Foundation reported an
estimated 6.2 million Americans hit golf balls in a simulator
within the past year, a figure that has surged by 73% in comparison
to 2019,” said Lindsay Jones, TruGolf’s Chief Financial
Officer. “The combination with DMAQ provides immediate access
to the growth capital required to leverage this growth, while
helping fuel the marketing efforts surrounding the release of our
newest hardware and software, which will be in full display at the
PGA Show in Orlando on January 23-26.”
The Business Combination values TruGolf at an
$80 million equity value and is expected to close by the end
January 2024, subject to shareholder approvals and other closing
conditions that are set forth in the Registration Statement.
The entry into a definitive merger agreement was
announced on March 31, 2023, and the amended and restated merger
agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) was announced on July 24, 2023.
The combined company is expected to be renamed TruGolf Holdings,
Inc.

The information in this press release contains

“opportunity,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,”
“will continue,” “will likely result” and similar expressions, but
the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not
forward-looking. 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. Actual results may differ from
their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you
should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions
of future events. Many factors could cause actual future events to
differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press
release, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the
Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at
all, which may adversely affect the price of DMAQ’s securities;
(ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of
the Business Combination, including the approval of the Merger
Agreement by the stockholders of DMAQ; (iii) the occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the
termination of the Merger Agreement; (iv) the outcome of any legal
proceedings that may be instituted against any of the parties to
the Merger Agreement following the announcement of the entry into
the Merger Agreement and proposed Business Combination; (v) the
ability of the parties to recognize the benefits of the Merger
Agreement and the Business Combination; (vi) the lack of useful
financial information for an accurate estimate of future capital
expenditures and future revenue (vii) statements regarding
TruGolf’s industry and market size, (viii) financial condition and
performance of TruGolf, including the anticipated benefits, the
implied enterprise value, the expected financial impacts of the
Business Combination, potential level of redemptions of DMAQ’s
public stockholders, the financial condition, liquidity, results of
operations, the products, the expected future performance and
market opportunities of TruGolf, and (ix) those factors discussed
in DMAQ’s filings with the SEC and contained in the definitive
proxy statement / prospectus relating to the Business Combination.
You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other
risks and uncertainties that are described in the “Risk Factors”
section of the definitive proxy statement / prospectus and other
documents to be filed by DMAQ from time to time with the SEC. These
filings identify and address other important risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ
materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking
statements, and while TruGolf and DMAQ may elect to update these
forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume
no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements,
