EXPLANATORY NOTE
CF Acquisition Corp. VIII
(the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”)
solely to amend Part II, Item 9A. “Controls and Procedures.” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2023 (the “Original
Filing”).
In addition, the Company is
including in this Amendment currently dated certifications from its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by
Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2, respectively.
Except as otherwise expressly
stated herein, this Amendment does not modify or update the disclosure contained in the Original Filing in any way other than as required
to reflect the amendment discussed above and reflected below.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (together,
the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure
controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Report.
Disclosure controls and procedures
are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under
the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying
Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We
do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. Disclosure controls and
procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the
disclosure controls and procedures are met. Further, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there
are resource constraints, and the benefits must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all disclosure
controls and procedures, no evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that we have detected all
our control deficiencies and instances of fraud, if any. The design of disclosure controls and procedures also is based partly on certain
assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated
goals under all potential future conditions.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal
Controls over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible
for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f)
and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Certifying Officers, we carried out an
evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 based upon criteria set forth
in the Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013
framework) (COSO). Our internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that are intended to provide reasonable
assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes
in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Based on the foregoing, management
determined that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial
Reporting
There have been no changes
to our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during
the most recent quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
