EXPLANATORY NOTE
Agriculture & Natural Solutions Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) to include the issuing office location of WithumSmith+Brown, PC on the “Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” set forth on page F-2 (the “Auditor Report”) of the Audited Balance Sheet of the Company as of November 13, 2023, which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2023 (the “Current Report”). The sole reason the Company is filing this Amendment No. 1 is because the issuing office location of WithumSmith+Brown, PC was inadvertently omitted from the Auditor Report filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report. Except as set forth in this Amendment No. 1, the Current Report is unchanged.

The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $345,000,000.
On November 13, 2023, simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the “Private Placement”) of 9,400,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant to Agriculture & Natural Solutions Acquisition Warrant Holdings, LLC and the Company’s independent directors, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $9,400,000.

An audited balance sheet of the Company as of November 13, 2023 reflecting receipt of the proceeds upon consummation of the IPO and the Private Placement has been issued by the Company and is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
