FOR

SPECIAL MEETNG OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 21, 2022

Dear Ackrell SPAC Partners I Co. Stockholder:

As you know, Ackrell SPAC Partners I Co., (the “Company,” “Ackrell,” “we,” “us” or “our”) is holding a special meeting of its stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) on Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live webcast. As stated in the Company’s proxy statement for the Special Meeting dated May 26, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”), the sole purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

1.      Proposal No. 1 — Extension Amendment Proposal — To amend Ackrell’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), in the form set forth in Annex A to the Proxy Statement, which we refer to as the “Extension Amendment” and such proposal the “Extension Amendment Proposal”, to extend the date by which Ackrell must consummate a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as a “business combination”, from June 23, 2022, or the “Termination Date”, to September 23, 2022 (or such earlier date as determined by the Board), which we refer to as the “Extension”, and such later date, the “Extended Date”; and

2.      Proposal No. 2 — Adjournment Proposal — To adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal.

Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are more fully described in the Proxy Statement. In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, stockholders have the right to submit their shares of Ackrell common stock underlying the subunits issued in Ackrell’s initial public offering for redemption in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the trust account if the Extension is implemented, as discussed in the Proxy Statement under the section “Special Meeting of Stockholders – Redemption Rights.” Written requests for redemption must be submitted, together with your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms, physically or electronically using Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System (“DWAC”), to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent (“Continental”), not later than 5:00 p.m. two business days prior to the Special Meeting (the “Redemption Request Deadline Date”).

The Company has filed this Supplement to the Proxy Statement (this “Supplement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to advise stockholders that requests for redemption of the shares of Ackrell common stock underlying the public subunits, together with your subunit certificates (if any) and other redemption forms, must be submitted to Continental, physically or electronically through DWAC, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 16, 2022, not June 17, 2022 as stated in the Proxy Statement,
