EXPLANATORY

NOTE

Valuence Merger Corp. I (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A (the “Amendment”) to amend its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 15, 2023 (the “Original Filing”) solely for the purpose of filing revised certifications by the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 herewith, to correct an inadvertent omission of certain language regarding internal control over financial reporting required to be included in such certifications by Item 601(b)(31)(i) of Regulation S-K. The Amendment consists solely of the preceding cover page, this explanatory note, the signature page and paragraphs 1, 2, 4 and 5 of each of the revised certifications filed as exhibits to the Amendment. Because no financial statements have been included in the Amendment, paragraph 3 of each of the certifications set forth in the exhibits has been omitted.

The Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the date of the filing of the Original Filing or modify or update any of the other disclosures contained therein in any way. Accordingly, the Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.
