The third and fourth paragraph on the first page of the Letter to Shareholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Proposal No. 1—Extension Amendment Proposal—A proposal, by special resolution, to amend (the “Extension Amendment”) certain articles of Bayview’s Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association as adopted by special resolution passed on September 16, 2024 (the “Existing Charter”) to reflect the extension of the date (the “Combination Period”) by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination (the as defined below) for one six-month period from June 19, 2025 (the “Termination Date”) to December 19, 2025, (the “Extension”) (i.e., for a period of time ending up to twenty four (24) months after the consummation of its initial public offering (the “IPO”)) for a total of up to six (6) months after the Termination Date (assuming a Business Combination has not occurred). The end date of each Extension shall be referred to herein as the “Extended Date.” We refer to this proposal as the “Extension Amendment Proposal”
Proposal No. 2—Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal—Resolved that Bayview’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of December 14, 2023 (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (the “Trustee”) be amended to allow the Company to extend the termination date for six months from June 19, 2025 to December 19, 2025 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 24 months after the consummation of its initial public offering) by depositing into the trust account (the “Trust Account”), a one-time payment of $120,000 (the “Extension Payment”) pursuant to an amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex A of the accompanying Proxy Statement (the “Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal”); and
The fourth paragraph on the second page of the Letter to Shareholders is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Pursuant to the Existing Charter and the Trust Agreement, we have up until June 19, 2025 to complete a Business Combination. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we may avail ourselves of one six-month extension from June 19, 2025 to December 19, 2025, to consummate the Business Combination, subject to the Sponsors depositing a one-time payment of $120,000 into the Trust Account and providing five days’ notice prior to the applicable deadline. In the event that our Sponsors elects to extend the time to complete a Business Combination, pay the Extension Payment, and deposit the Extension Payment into the Trust Account, the Sponsors will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of the Extension Payment, which amount will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsors five days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline of its wish for us to effect an Extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such Extension at least three days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline. Our Sponsors and its affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of our Sponsors’ affiliates or designees, decide to extend the period of time to consummate our Business Combination, such affiliates or designees may deposit the entire amount required. If we are unable to consummate our Business Combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our outstanding ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Public Shares” or “Ordinary Shares”) for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the rights will expire and be worthless.

The first Q&A on page 3 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
| Q. | What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting? |
| A. | Bayview shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals: |
Proposal No. 1—Extension Amendment Proposal—A proposal, by special resolution, to amend certain articles of the Existing Charter to reflect the extension of date by which the Company must consummate a Business Combination for a period of six months from June 19, 2025 to December 19, 2025 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 24 months after the consummation of its IPO) (assuming a Business Combination has not occurred);
Proposal No. 2—Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal—A proposal to amend Bayview’s investment management trust agreement, dated as of December 14, 2023, (as amended, the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Equiniti Trust Company, LLC (f/k/a American Stock Transfer & Trust Company) (the “Trustee”), to allow the Company to extend the termination date for six months from June 19, 2025 to December 19, 2025 (i.e., for a period of time ending up to 24 months after the consummation of its initial public offering) by depositing into the trust account (the “Trust Account”), a one-time payment of $120,000 (the “Extension Payment”) (assuming a Business Combination has not occurred) in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note payable upon the consummation of a Business Combination; and
Proposal No. 3—Adjournment Proposal—A proposal, by ordinary resolution to adjourn the Extraordinary General 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 Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal or to provide additional time to effectuate the Extension Amendment and Extension.
The first Q&A on page 5 of the Definitive Proxy Statement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
Q: Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?
A: Bayview believes its shareholders will benefit from Bayview consummating a Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to give the Company the right to extend the Combination Period for a period of six months, from June 19, 2025 to December 19, 2025. The Board believes that the current Termination Date will not provide sufficient time to complete a Business Combination. Given Bayview’s commitment of time, effort and financial resources to date with respect to identifying a Business Combination target, circumstances warrant providing Public Shareholders with additional time and opportunity to consider a prospective Business Combination. However, even if the Extension Amendment Proposal and Trust Agreement Amendment Proposal are approved and the Extension and Extension Amendment are implemented, there is no assurance that Bayview will be able to consummate a Business Combination by the last Extended Date, given the actions that must occur prior to closing of a Business Combination.
Pursuant to the Existing Charter and the Trust Agreement, we have up until June 19, 2025 to complete a Business Combination. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we may avail ourselves of one six-month extension from June 19, 2025 to December 19, 2025, to consummate the Business Combination, subject to the Sponsors depositing a one-time payment of $120,000 into the Trust Account and providing five days’ notice prior to the applicable deadline. In the event that our Sponsors elect to extend the time to complete a Business Combination, pay the Extension Payment, and deposit the Extension Payment into the Trust Account, the Sponsors will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of the Extension Payment, which amount will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a Business Combination unless there are funds available outside the Trust Account to do so. In the event that we receive notice from our Sponsors five days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline of their wish for us to effect an Extension, we intend to issue a press release announcing such Extension at least three days prior to the applicable Business Combination deadline. Our Sponsors and their affiliates or designees are not obligated to fund the Trust Account to extend the time for us to complete our Business Combination. To the extent that some, but not all, of our Sponsors’ affiliates or designees, decide to extend the period of time to consummate our Business Combination, such affiliates or designees may deposit the entire amount required. If we are unable to consummate our Business Combination within such time period, we will, as promptly as possible but not more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of our Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, including a pro rata portion of any interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our taxes, if any (less up to US$100,000 of interests to pay dissolution expenses) and then seek to dissolve and liquidate. However, we may not be able to distribute such amounts as a result of claims of creditors which may take priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. In the event of our dissolution and liquidation, the rights will expire and be worthless.
The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal.
