Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 1, 2023, BurTech Acquisition Corp. (the "Company") and BurTech LP LLC
(the "Sponsor") entered into a non-redemption agreement ("Non-Redemption
Agreement") with one or more unaffiliated third party or parties in exchange for
such third party or third parties agreeing not to redeem up to an aggregate of
4,000,000 shares of the Company's Class A common stock sold in its initial
public offering ("Non-Redeemed Shares") in connection with the special meeting
of the stockholders called by the Company (the "Special Meeting") to consider
and approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an initial
business combination from March 15, 2023 to December 15, 2023 (the "Extension"),
and to amend the Trust Management Agreement with Continental Stock & Transfer
Company, dated as of December 10, 2021, allowing for such extension (the
"Extension Proposals"). In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem
such Non-Redeemed Shares, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer to such third party
or third parties up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's Class B
common stock held by the Sponsor immediately following the consummation of an
initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares
through the Special Meeting. The Sponsor intends to enter into additional
Non-Redemption Agreements prior to the Special Meeting.
In addition, the Company has agreed that, to mitigate the current uncertainty
surrounding the implementation of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, funds
held in the Company's trust account, including any interest thereon, will not be
used to pay for any excise tax liabilities with respect to any future
redemptions prior to or in connection with the Extension, an initial business
combination or the liquidation of the Company.
The Non-Redemption Agreements are not expected to increase the likelihood that
the Extension Proposals are approved by Company's stockholders but are expected
to increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company's trust account
following the Special Meeting.
The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be
complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of
Non-Redemption Agreement filed herein as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
Participants in the Solicitation
The Company and its directors and executive officers and other persons may be
deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the Company's
stockholders in respect of the Extension. Information regarding the Company's
directors and executive officers is available in its annual report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Additional
information regarding the participants in the proxy solicitation and a
description of their direct and indirect interests are contained in the Proxy
Statement (defined below).
No Offer or Solicitation
This communication shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of
an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any
jurisdiction in which the offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to
the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such
jurisdiction. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a
prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.

Additional Information
The Company has filed with the SEC definitive proxy statement and certain
supplements thereto for the Special Meeting (the definitive proxy statement and
supplements thereto are collectively referred to as the "Proxy Statement") to
consider and vote upon the Extension and other matters and, beginning on
February 23, 2023, mailed the Proxy Statement and other relevant documents to
its stockholders as of the January 26, 2023 record date for the Special
Meeting. The Company's stockholders and other interested persons are advised to
read the Proxy Statement and any other relevant documents that have been or will
be filed with the SEC in connection with the Company's solicitation of proxies
