No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, or a recommendation to purchase, any securities in any jurisdiction, or the solicitation of any vote, consent or approval in any jurisdiction in connection with the Business Combination or any related transactions, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or transfer of any securities in any jurisdiction where, or to any person to whom, such offer, solicitation or sale may be unlawful under the laws of such jurisdiction. This Current Report does not constitute either advice or a recommendation regarding any securities. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom.

Important Information for Investors and Stockholders

In connection with the Business Combination, 7GC filed its registration statement on Form S-4 (Registration No. 333-274278), with the SEC on August 31, 2023 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), which includes the definitive proxy statement/prospectus to be distributed to holders of 7GC’s common stock of record as of the Record Date in connection with 7GC’s solicitation of proxies for the vote by 7GC’s stockholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters as described in the Registration Statement, and a prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to the equity holders of Banzai in connection with the Business Combination. The Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on November 13, 2023 and the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents have been mailed to 7GC’s stockholders as of the Record Date. 7GC’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the definitive proxy statement / prospectus, in connection with 7GC’s solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting to be held to approve, among other things, the Business Combination, because these documents contain important information about 7GC, Banzai and the Business Combination. Stockholders may also obtain a copy of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus, as well as other documents filed with the SEC regarding the Business Combination and other documents filed with the SEC by 7GC, without charge, at the SEC’s website located at www.sec.gov.

Investors and security holders may obtain more detailed information regarding 7GC’s directors and executive officers in 7GC’s filings with the SEC, including 7GC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2023.
