the definitive proxy statement filed by Southport Acquisition Corporation (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) on May&#160;22, 2023 (the &#8220;Proxy Statement&#8221;), which the Company first mailed on or about
May&#160;22, 2023 to its stockholders of record as of May&#160;12, 2023, the Company expects to hold a special meeting of stockholders
on June&#160;9, 2023 (the &#8220;Special Meeting&#8221;) to consider and approve an extension of time for the Company to consummate an
initial business combination from June&#160;14, 2023 to September&#160;14, 2023, or at the election of the board of directors of the Company
(the &#8220;Board&#8221;), March&#160;14, 2024, in six separate additional one-month extensions (the &#8220;Extension&#8221; and such

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">Pursuant to the Inflation
Reduction Act of 2022 (the &#8220;IR Act&#8221;), a 1% U.S. federal excise tax is imposed on certain repurchases (including redemptions)
of stock by &#8220;covered corporations&#8221; occurring on or after January&#160;1, 2023. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our
securities are trading on the New York Stock Exchange, we are a &#8220;covered corporation&#8221; for this purpose. The excise tax is
imposed on the covered corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally
1% of the &#8220;fair market value&#8221; of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating
the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market
value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department
of the Treasury (the &#8220;Treasury&#8221;) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out and prevent
the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. The Treasury recently issued interim guidance that redemptions in connection with a SPAC liquidation
would not be subject to the excise tax under certain circumstances. In addition, redemptions that occur in the same taxable year as a
liquidation is completed will also be exempt from such tax. Any share redemption or other share repurchase that occurs after December&#160;31,
2022, in connection with a business combination, extension vote or otherwise, may be subject to the excise tax. The investment management
trust agreement that governs the Trust Account provides that we may use accrued interest earned on the funds held in the trust account
for any tax obligations, which would include any excise tax.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In the event that the
Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented as described in the Proxy Statement, our public stockholders will have the
right to require us to redeem their public shares. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in
connection with such redemption or any other repurchase of our public shares in connection with an initial business combination,
liquidation or otherwise in the future will depend on a number of factors, including: (i)&#160;the fair market value of the
redemptions and repurchases during such taxable year, (ii)&#160;the nature and amount of any &#8220;PIPE&#8221; or other equity
issuances during such taxable year (including in connection with a business combination), (iii)&#160;if we liquidate in such taxable
year and whether the liquidation qualifies for exemption, (iv)&#160;the structuring of any business combination, and (v)&#160;the
content of any proposed or final regulations and other guidance from the Treasury.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in">In the event that the Extension
Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented as described in the Proxy Statement, funds in the Trust Account, including any interest
earned thereon, will not be used to pay for any excise tax liabilities with respect to any redemptions that occur prior to or in connection
with a business combination or liquidation of the Company. If the Company completes a business combination, because the excise tax would
be payable by the Company (following the business combination) and not by the redeeming holder or out of the Trust Account, the payment
of the excise tax would reduce cash available to the Company for ongoing operations following the completion of the business combination
(and if the Company does not complete a business combination, the Company would seek to obtain alternative funds if necessary to pay any
excise tax incurred by the Company with respect to any redemptions).</P>
