Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

This Current Report on Form 8-K (the "Current Report") is being filed solely to provide additional information and updates regarding the disclosure made by Nocturne Acquisition Corporation, a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Nocturne"), in its Proxy Statement Supplement, dated March 31, 2023, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as of such date (the "Proxy Supplement").

As indicated in the Proxy Supplement, Nocturne has determined to take certain actions with respect to the funds in its trust account in order to mitigate the risk that Nocturne could be deemed to be operating as an unregistered investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Consistent with that determination, Nocturne has, effective as of April 3, 2023, opened an interest-bearing Demand Deposit Account (the "DDA") with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company ("Continental"), and has now instructed Continental, in its capacity as trustee of the trust account, to transfer the funds contained in the trust account to the DDA, effective as of immediately after the occurrence of the Extension (as described in the Proxy Supplement), which was approved by Nocturne's shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on April 3, 2023 (the "Special Meeting"). Nocturne expects to disclose the final voting results, quorum details, and other information about the Special Meeting and the Extension in a subsequent Current Report on Form 8-K filing to be filed on or before April 7, 2023.

Nocturne further discloses that, as of the close of business on April 3, 2023, holders of Nocturne's public shares (as defined in the Proxy Supplement) have elected to redeem a total of 907,550 ordinary shares, each having a par value of US$0.0001 (each, an "ordinary share"), of Nocturne in connection with the Extension and the Special Meeting, out of a total of 5,324,080 ordinary shares and 1,984,080 public shares outstanding, in each case, as of March 3, 2023, the record date for the Special Meeting.

By way of reminder, if any Nocturne public shareholders wish to make redemption requests or withdraw previously submitted redemption requests, such shareholders may do so by submitting their requests to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, Nocturne's transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer& Trust Company, One State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team, E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time, on April 5, 2023.





Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act. Statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the previously announced, pending merger (the "Merger") between Nocturne and Cognos Therapeutics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Cognos"), the transactions contemplated thereby and the parties' perspectives and expectations, are forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "believe," "estimate," "intend," "plan" and similar expressions indicate forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to various risks, uncertainties and assumptions (including assumptions about general economic, market, industry and operational factors), known or unknown, which could cause the actual results to vary materially from those indicated or anticipated.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the risk that Cognos and Nocturne may be unable to successfully or timely consummate the Merger, including as a result of any regulatory approvals that are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Merger, that approval by the stockholders of Cognos or Nocturne may not be obtained, that the Merger may not result in the benefits anticipated by Nocturne and Cognos, as well as the risks discussed in Nocturne's final prospectus dated March 30, 2021 under the heading "Risk Factors," and in other documents Nocturne has filed, or will file, with the SEC, including the registration statement on Form S-4 to be filed by Nocturne in connection with the proposed initial business combination (the "Registration Statement"), which will include a proxy statement/prospectus. If any of these risks materialize or underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Nocturne nor Cognos presently know, or that Cognos or Nocturne currently believe are immaterial, that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Nocturne's and Cognos' expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Nocturne and Cognos anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Nocturne's and Cognos' assessments to change. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements relate only to the date they were made, and Nocturne, Cognos and their affiliates undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date they were made except as required by law or applicable regulation.
