Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 14A, dated May 16, 2023 (the “Amendment”) is being filed to amend the definitive proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) of EF Hutton Acquisition Corporation I (the “Company”) in connection with its June 1, 2023 Special Meeting of Stockholders (the “Special Meeting”), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 15, 2023. The purpose of this Amendment is to correct a typographical error that was inadvertently included the Proxy Statement concerning the date the Company’s stockholders must tender their shares to the transfer agent to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Special Meeting. For a stockholder to exercise his or her redemption rights, such stockholder must tender their shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or May 30, 2023).
Except as specifically amended herein, all information in the Proxy Statement remains unchanged. No other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement.
