Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

On behalf of Battery Future Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”), we hereby respond as follows to the comment letter from the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) dated May 3, 2024, relating to the above-referenced Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”).

 

Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed April 26, 2024

 

Background

Risk Factors, page 20

 

 

1.

We note that you are seeking to extend your termination date to June 17, 2025, which is 43 months from your initial public offering. We also note that you are listed on the NYSE and that NYSE Listed Company Manual Section 102.06(e) requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete a business combination within three years. Please revise to explain that the proposal to extend your termination deadline beyond December 17, 2024 does not comply with this rule, or advise, and disclose the risks of your noncompliance with this rule, including that your securities may be subject to suspension and delisting from the NYSE.

 

 

 

 

 

We have revised the disclosure on page 20 of the Proxy Statement as requested.
