NEW YORK and SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AltC Acquisition Corp. ("AltC") (NYSE: ALCC), a special purpose acquisition company, and Oklo Inc. ("Oklo"), a fast fission clean power technology and nuclear fuel recycling company, today announced that a special meeting of AltC stockholders (the "Special Meeting") to approve the proposed business combination between AltC and Oklo (the "transaction") has been scheduled for May 7, 2024.

"We are excited to reach this important milestone in Oklo's journey towards delivering clean, reliable, and affordable power," said Jacob DeWitte, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Oklo. "I am proud of the team's accomplishments to date as we work towards deploying our advanced fission energy solutions."

Since announcing the transaction with AltC, Oklo has maintained strong business momentum, including major non-binding Letters of Intent and Memorandums of Understanding (each, a "MOU"). Specifically, Oklo has signed letters of intent with Equinix, Inc. ("Equinix"), the world's digital infrastructure company, and Diamondback Energy, Inc. ("Diamondback Energy"), the largest independent producer headquartered in the shale-oil region. Furthermore, Oklo has formed a significant partnership with Centrus Energy Corp. ("Centrus"), focusing on collaborative activities for the development and operation of Oklo's Aurora powerhouses, and in particular related to fuel supply. In addition, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") approved the Safety Design Strategy ("SDS") for the Oklo Aurora Fuel Fabrication Facility, an important step in the DOE approval process.

AltC stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 5, 2024, are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and will receive by mail a definitive proxy statement/prospectus/consent solicitation statement (the "Proxy Statement") in connection with AltC's solicitation for proxies for the vote by AltC's stockholders to approve the transaction at the Special Meeting.

The AltC Board of Directors unanimously (of those who voted) recommends that stockholders vote "FOR" the transaction proposal as well as for the other proposals that will be set forth in the Proxy Statement. Every stockholder's vote FOR ALL the proposals that will be included in the Proxy Statement is important, regardless of the number of shares held.

The Special Meeting will be conducted via live webcast at https://www.cstproxy.com/altcacquisitioncorp/2024. To register and receive access to the virtual meeting, stockholders will need to follow the instructions applicable to them in the Proxy Statement once available. AltC stockholders who need assistance voting, have questions regarding the Special Meeting, or would like to request documents, may contact AltC's proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali LLC, by calling (800) 662-5200 (toll-free) or banks and brokers can call (203) 658-9400, or by emailing ALCC.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

If the necessary proposals at the Special Meeting are approved, Oklo and AltC anticipate that the transaction will close shortly after the Special Meeting, subject to the satisfaction of all other closing conditions. Upon completion of the transaction, the combined company will operate as Oklo and is expected to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol "OKLO."
