EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 13, 2023, Zura Bio Limited (the "Registrant"), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-272628), which was subsequently declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 14, 2023, and amended by Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, which was filed on June 18, 2024 (as amended, the "Registration Statement").

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement is being filed by the Registrant to (i) convert the Registration Statement into a registration statement on Form S-3 (the "Post-Effective Amendment"), (ii) reflect the exchange of all of the Registrant's outstanding public warrants and private placement warrants that were issued in connection with the Registrant's initial public offering to purchase Class A ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to the exchange offer and consent solicitation on July 12, 2024 (the "Warrant Exchange") and (iii) update certain information regarding the securities being offered pursuant to the prospectus contained herein.

The information included in this filing amends the Registration Statement and the prospectus contained therein. No additional securities are being registered under this Post-Effective Amendment. All applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filing of the Registration Statement.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER 5, 2024

The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The selling securityholders may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

ZURA BIO LIMITED

Resale of 21,248,364 Class A Ordinary Shares

Resale of 3,782,000 Pre-Funded Warrants to Purchase Class A Ordinary Shares

Issuance and Resale of up to 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the selling securityholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (collectively, the "Selling Securityholders") of (A) up to 21,248,364 Class A Ordinary Shares of Zura Bio Limited ("Zura"), a Cayman Islands exempted company, par value $0.0001 per share ("Class A Ordinary Shares"), (B) 3,782,000 pre-funded warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares ("Pre-Funded Warrants"), and (C) 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Securityholders and registered by this prospectus are referred to herein as the "Registrable Shares." The Registrable Shares consist of (i) 2,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "Ewon Shares") originally purchased in a private placement pursuant to a subscription agreement (the "Ewon Subscription Agreement") by Ewon Comfortech Co., Ltd. ("Ewon") at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, and 9,950 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "Eugene Shares," and together with the Ewon Shares, the "PIPE Shares") originally purchased in a private placement pursuant to a subscription agreement (the "Eugene Subscription Agreement," and together with the Ewon Subscription agreement, the "PIPE Subscription Agreements") by Eugene Investment & Securities Co., Ltd ("Eugene," and, together with Ewon, the "PIPE Investors") at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, (ii) an aggregate of 6,801,633 Class A Ordinary Shares (the "FPA Shares") issued in connection with a private placement pursuant to the amended and restated forward purchase agreement, dated January 27, 2022 (the "FPA"), as amended, to Athanor Master Fund, LP and Athanor International Master Fund, LP (collectively, the "FPA Investors") at an effective purchase price of approximately $6.32 per share, (iii) the resale of 3,450,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the initial shareholders of JATT Acquisition Corp ("JATT") at an effective purchase price of approximately $0.007 per share (the "Founder Shares"), (iv) 550,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued as consideration for certain exclusive license to Eli Lilly & Co. ("Lilly") upon the closing of the Business Combination (as defined below), (v) 18,823,530 Class A Ordinary Shares (including 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants) originally issued in a private placement (the "April 2023 Private Placement") to certain accredited investors which closed in two tranches on May 1, 2023 and June 5, 2023 ("April 2023 Private Placement Shares") at an effective purchase price of $4.25 per share (and approximately $4.25 per share for Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants), (vi) 499,993 restricted Class A Ordinary Shares issued to Amit Munshi, the non-executive chairman of our board of directors, (vii) an additional 1,000,000 shares issued to Lilly as consideration in connection with the entry into a second license agreement dated as of April 26, 2023, (viii) an additional 898,018 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying restricted share units and (ix) an additional 1,158,236 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to affiliates of the Company in connection with the Warrant Exchange (as defined herein). The Registrable Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants are herein referred to as the "Registrable Securities."

Because many Selling Securityholders purchased their shares at significantly below the current market price of our ordinary shares, such holders could sell their shares and generate a significant profit while still causing the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline significantly. On August 30, 2024, the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $4.13. Based on this closing price, the aggregate sales price of the Founder Shares would be approximately $14,248,500 and the aggregate profit would be approximately $14,223,500; the aggregate sales price of the FPA Shares would be approximately $28,090,744 and the aggregate profit would be $0; the aggregate sales price of shares issued to Eli Lilly & Co. pursuant to that certain Equity Grant Agreement dated as of December 8, 2022 would be approximately $2,271,500 and the aggregate profit would be approximately $2,271,500; the aggregate sales price of shares issued to Eli Lilly & Co. pursuant to that certain Equity Grant Agreement dated as of April 26, 2023 would be approximately $4,130,000 and the aggregate profit would be approximately $4,130,000; and the aggregate sales price of April 2023 Private Placement Shares (excluding 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants) would be approximately $62,121,519 and the aggregate profit would be $0. The public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchase due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price.

This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of an aggregate of up to 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. The Pre-Funded Warrants have an exercise price of $0.001 per share.

We could receive up to an aggregate of approximately $3,782 if all of the Pre-Funded Warrants registered hereunder are exercised for cash. To the extent that any of our Pre-Funded Warrants are exercised on a "cashless basis," the amount of cash we would receive from the exercise of our Pre-Funded Warrants will decrease. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. However, there is no assurance that the holders of our Pre-Funded Warrants will elect to exercise any or all of such warrants. The cash proceeds associated with the exercises of the Pre-Funded Warrants are dependent on the stock price inasmuch as the holders are unlikely to exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants if the exercise price thereof is less than the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of exercise. In that circumstance, such holder may be less likely to exercise their Pre-Funded Warrants as such holder would be selling at a loss if they exercised their Pre-Funded Warrants and sold their Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, we have not included the net proceeds from any exercise of the Warrants in our assessment of our liquidity and our ability to fund operations on a prospective basis. Nevertheless, we believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus.

Additional details regarding the securities to which this prospectus relates and the Selling Securityholders is set forth in this prospectus under "Selling Securityholders."

On June 16, 2022, JATT entered into a Business Combination Agreement, as amended on September 20, 2022, November 14, 2022 and January 13, 2023 (the "Business Combination Agreement" or "BCA"), by and among JATT, JATT Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of JATT ("Merger Sub"), JATT Merger Sub 2, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of JATT ("Merger Sub 2"), Zura Bio Holdings Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("Holdco") and Zura Bio Limited, a limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales ("Legacy Zura"). In connection with the Business Combination, JATT entered into the Ewon Subscription Agreement with Ewon, pursuant to which JATT agreed to issue and sell the PIPE Shares to Ewon, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination. On March 20, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the parties to the BCA consummated the transactions contemplated by the BCA.

We are registering the offer and sale by the Selling Securityholders of the Registrable Securities to satisfy certain registration rights granted in favor of the Selling Securityholders. Our registration of the Registrable Securities covered by this prospectus does not mean that either we or the Selling Securityholders will offer or sell any of the Registrable Securities. The Selling Securityholders or their permitted transferees may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the Registrable Securities registered hereby publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. See the section of this prospectus titled "Plan of Distribution" for more information about how the Selling Securityholders may sell the Registrable Securities. We will pay certain offering fees and expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Selling Securityholders. See the section of this prospectus titled "Use of Proceeds" for more information. The Selling Securityholders will pay any discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Securityholders in disposing of the Registrable Securities.

Sales of the Registrable Securities by the Selling Securityholders may occur at fixed prices, at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The Selling Securityholders may sell Registrable Securities to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the Selling Securityholders, the purchasers of the Registrable Securities, or both.

The sale of all the Registrable Securities being offered in this prospectus could result in a significant decline in the public trading price of our Class A Ordinary Shares. Our Class A Ordinary Shares are currently listed on NASDAQ Stock Market ("Nasdaq") under the symbol "ZURA". On September 4, 2024, the last reported sales price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $3.95 per share.

Overview

Zura Bio Limited, formerly known as JATT Acquisition Corp., is a multi-asset clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing novel medicines for immune and inflammatory disorders. With its experienced leadership team, Zura aims to become a leader in the autoimmune and inflammatory field.

We are currently developing three clinical-stage product candidates to address indications with high unmet needs and significant commercial opportunity.

· Tibulizumab (ZB-106) is an IgG-scFv bispecific dual-antagonist antibody engineered by the fusion of elements of TALTZ® (ixekizumab) and tabalumab that neutralizes IL-17A and BAFF. These cytokines play pivotal roles in various inflammatory and autoimmune disorders. By targeting IL-17A and BAFF, tibulizumab demonstrates potential in mitigating chronic inflammation while preserving immune system integrity. Three Phase 1/1b clinical studies have been completed with tibulizumab to date, including in participants with rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren's syndrome.
· Crebankitug (ZB-168) is a fully human, high affinity monoclonal antibody that binds and neutralizes the IL-7 receptor chain (IL-7R) alpha. IL-7Rα sits at the nexus of two key immune pathways, IL-7 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), thus IL-7Rα has the potential to block activation through either of these pathways. As a result, we believe crebankitug could be therapeutically relevant in a broad set of indications where the IL-7 or TSLP pathways may be involved. Three Phase 1/1b clinical studies have been conducted to date. There are additional IL-7Rα inhibitors under development for conditions like alopecia areata, atopic dermatitis, and ulcerative colitis. We are actively assessing the competitive landscape and evaluating potential therapeutic indications to guide our future development efforts for crebankitug.
· Torudokimab (ZB-880) is a fully human, high affinity monoclonal antibody that neutralizes IL-33, preventing ST2-dependent and ST2-independent (e.g., RAGE) inflammation. The IL-33/ST2 axis stands as a validated therapeutic target for conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Three Phase 1/2 clinical studies have been conducted to date. We are actively assessing the competitive landscape and evaluating potential therapeutic indications to guide our future development efforts for torudokimab.

The Business Combination

We were originally known as JATT Acquisition Corp. On the Closing Date, Legacy Zura, JATT, Merger Sub, Merger Sub 2, and Holdco consummated the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement following the approval at an extraordinary general meeting of JATT's shareholders held on March 16, 2023 (the "Extraordinary General Meeting" and the consummation of such transactions, the "Closing").

On the Closing Date, we consummated the previously-announced Business Combination Agreement, by and among Legacy Zura, JATT, Merger Sub, Merger Sub 2 and Holdco, following the approval at an extraordinary general meeting of JATT's shareholders held on March 16, 2023.

The Business Combination generated approximately $56.7 million in net proceeds. On March 21, 2023, the Company's Class A Ordinary Shares began trading on the Nasdaq under the symbol "ZURA".

Stock Exchange Listing

Zura's Class A Ordinary Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "ZURA".

Corporate Information

Our principal executive offices are located at Zura's principal executive offices are located at 1489 W. Warm Springs Road, #110, Henderson, Nevada and our telephone number is (702) 825-9872. Our corporate website address is www.zurabio.com. Information contained on or accessible through our website is not a part of this prospectus, and the inclusion of our website address in this prospectus is an inactive textual reference only.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended (the "Sarbanes-Oxley Act"), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable.

We will remain as an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of JATT's IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.235 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to "emerging growth company" have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Smaller Reporting Company

Additionally, we are currently a "smaller reporting company" as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700 million.

Issuance of Ordinary Shares
Class A Ordinary Shares offered by us Up to 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares that are issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding assuming the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants registered hereby 67,556,183 as of August 29, 2024
Use of Proceeds We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $3,782 if all of the Pre-Funded Warrants registered hereunder are exercised for cash.

We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, if any, for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Warrants. We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus. However, our liquidity assumptions may prove to be incorrect, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus. We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of the securities to be sold by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration related expenses, the Selling Securityholders will bear their own broker or similar commissions payable with respect to any sales of their Registrable Securities.

10

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the risks and uncertainties discussed above under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," you should carefully consider the risk factors incorporated by reference to our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q or Current Reports on Form 8-K, and all other information contained or incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as updated by our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act, and the risk factors and other information contained in any applicable prospectus supplement, before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could decline due to any of these risks and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment. The occurrence of any of these risks might cause you to lose all or part of your investment in the offered securities. We may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to us, or that we currently deem immaterial.

11

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants offered by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Securityholders for their account. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales.

We could receive up to an aggregate of $3,782 if all of the Pre-Funded Warrants registered hereunder are exercised for cash. The exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and the spread between the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrant and the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of exercise. Our Pre-Funded Warrants are not redeemable and are exercisable on a cashless basis. As such, it is possible that we may never generate any cash proceeds from the exercise of our Pre-Funded Warrants. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus. We expect to use the net proceeds from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants offered in this registration statement, if any, for general corporate purposes. We will have broad discretion over the use of proceeds from the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

We will bear the out-of-pocket costs, expenses and fees incurred in connection with the registration of Registrable Securities to be sold by the Selling Securityholders pursuant to this prospectus. Other than registration related expenses, the Selling Securityholders will bear their own broker or similar commissions payable with respect to any sales of their Registrable Securities.

12

SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

The Selling Securityholders may from time to time offer and sell any or all of the Class A Ordinary Shares or Pre-Funded Warrants being offered for resale by this prospectus, which consist of:

· Up to 21,248,364 Class A Ordinary Shares; and
· Up to 3,782,000 Pre-Funded Warrants.

When we refer to the "Selling Securityholders" in this prospectus, we mean the persons listed in the table below, and the pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees, successors, designees and others who later come to hold any of the Selling Securityholders' interest in the Class A Ordinary Shares other than through a public sale. The Class A Ordinary Shares held by the Selling Securityholders and registered by this prospectus are referred to herein as the "Registrable Shares."

The Registrable Shares consist of (i) 2,000,000 Ewon Shares and 9,950 Eugene Shares, (ii) an aggregate of 6,801,633 FPA Shares, (iii) the resale of 3,450,000 Founder Shares, (iv) 550,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued as consideration for certain exclusive license to Lilly upon the closing of the Business Combination, (v) 18,823,530 Class A Ordinary Shares (including 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants) originally issued in the April 2023 Private Placement to certain accredited investors which closed in two tranches on May 1, 2023 and June 5, 2023, (vi) 499,993 restricted Class A Ordinary Shares issued to Amit Munshi, the non-executive chairman of our board of directors, (vii) an additional 1,000,000 shares issued to Lilly as consideration in connection with the entry into a second license agreement dated as of April 26, 2023, (viii) an additional 898,018 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying restricted share units and (ix) an additional 1,158,236 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to affiliates of the Company in connection with the exchange of the private placement warrants, pursuant to the Warrant Exchange.

Because many Selling Securityholders purchased their shares at significantly below the current market price of our ordinary shares, such holder could sell their shares and generate a significant profit while still causing the trading price of our ordinary shares to decline significantly. On August 30, 2024, the closing price of our Class A Ordinary Shares was $4.13. Based on this closing price, the aggregate sales price of the Founder Shares would be approximately $14,248,500 and the aggregate profit would be approximately $14,223,500; the aggregate sales price of the FPA Shares would be approximately $28,090,744 and the aggregate profit would be $0; the aggregate sales price of shares issued to Eli Lilly & Co. pursuant to that certain Equity Grant Agreement dated as of December 8, 2022 would be approximately $2,271,500 and the aggregate profit would be approximately $2,271,500; the aggregate sales price of shares issued to Eli Lilly & Co. pursuant to that certain Equity Grant Agreement dated as of April 26, 2023 would be approximately $4,130,000 and the aggregate profit would be approximately $4,130,000; and the aggregate sales price of April 2023 Private Placement Shares (excluding 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants) would be approximately $62,121,519 and the aggregate profit would be $0. The public securityholders may not experience a similar rate of return on the securities they purchase due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price.

This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of an aggregate of up to 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants.

We could receive up to an aggregate of $3,782 if all of the Pre-Funded Warrants registered hereunder are exercised for cash. The exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and the spread between the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of exercise. There can be no assurance that all of our Pre-Funded Warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration. Our Pre-Funded Warrants are not redeemable and are exercisable on a cashless basis. As such, it is possible that we may never generate any cash proceeds from the exercise of our Pre-Funded Warrants. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus.

The following tables provide the names of the Selling Securityholders, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants that may be sold by the Selling Securityholders under this prospectus and the number of Class A Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants that the Selling Securityholders will beneficially own after this offering. The applicable percentage ownership of Class A Ordinary Shares in the second and fifth columns is based on approximately 63,774,183 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding as of August 29, 2024 (prior to exercise of any outstanding Pre-Funded Warrants). Information with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares owned beneficially after the offering assumes the sale of all of the Class A Ordinary Shares. The Selling Securityholders may offer and sell some, all or none of their Registrable Securities, as applicable.

For purposes of the tables below, we have assumed that the Selling Securityholders will not acquire beneficial ownership of any additional securities during the offering. The following tables are prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Securityholders. In addition, we assume that the Selling Securityholders have not sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, our securities in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Any changed or new information given to us by the Selling Securityholders, including regarding the identity of, and the securities held by, the Selling Securityholders, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement or amendments to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, if and when necessary.

We have determined beneficial ownership in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Beneficial ownership generally includes voting or investment power over securities. Except in cases where community property laws apply or as indicated in the footnotes to these tables, we believe that each Selling Securityholder identified in the tables possesses sole voting and investment power over the Class A Ordinary Shares shown as beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders. The information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the tables have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all securities that they beneficially own, subject to community property laws where applicable.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

General

Unless the context otherwise requires, for purposes of this section, the terms "we," "us," "our," "the Company" or "Zura" refer to Zura Bio Limited following the consummation of the Business Combination.

We are a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company and our affairs are governed by the MAA, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the MAA, our authorized share capital is $30,100 divided into 300,000,000 Zura Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each, no Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each, and 1,000,000 preference shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. The following description summarizes certain terms of our shares as set out more particularly in the MAA. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.

Ordinary Shares

As of August 29, 2024, we have 63,774,183 Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding. Our shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

The members of our Board of Directors serve until the next annual general meeting. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares eligible to vote for the appointment of directors and voting at the applicable meeting can appoint all of the directors. Subject to the rights of any holders of preference shares to appoint directors, the number of directors that shall constitute the Zura Board shall be as determined from time to time exclusively by the Zura Board.

Directors may only be removed for cause by a majority of the other directors then in office or by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (662∕3%) of the voting power of all then-outstanding shares of Zura entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

Our shareholders have no conversion, preemptive or other subscription rights and there are no sinking fund or redemption provisions applicable to the ordinary shares.

Register of Members

Under Cayman Islands law, we must keep a register of members and there will be entered therein:

· the names and addresses of the members, a statement of the shares held by each member, and of the amount paid or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member and the voting rights of the shares of each member;
· whether voting rights are attached to the shares in issue;
· the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and
· the date on which any person ceased to be a member.

Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members will be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position. Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. if an application for an order for rectification of the register of members were made in respect of our shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.

Founder Shares

Founder Shares were outstanding JATT Class B Ordinary Shares that automatically converted into Zura Class A Ordinary Shares at the Closing on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. The Founder Shares are henceforth identical to the other Zura Class A Ordinary Shares, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that (i) the Founder Shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below and (ii) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

With certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to permitted transferees, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of the Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the reported closing price of our Zura Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination or (y) the date, following the completion of the Business Combination, on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Preference shares

Our MAA provide that preference shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our Board of Directors are authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our Board of Directors are able to, without shareholder approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and could have anti-takeover effects. The ability of our Board of Directors to issue preference shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no preference shares outstanding at the date hereof, and do not expect to have any preference shares outstanding immediately following consummation of the Business Combination. Although we do not currently intend to issue any preference shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. No preference shares were issued or registered in connection with the Business Combination.

Pre-Funded Warrants

As of August 29, 2024, we have 23,884,348 Pre-Funded Warrants outstanding, consisting of 3,782,000 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants, 16,102,348 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and 4,000,000 pre-funded warrants issued to entities affiliated with Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners on August 21, 2024.

April 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants

On April 26, 2023, the Company entered into certain subscription agreements with certain individual and institutional accredited investors in connection with the sale by the Company of Class A Ordinary Shares and pre-funded warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, each 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant was sold at a price of $4.249 per 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant. Each 2023 Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.001 per Class A Ordinary Share and is exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share at any time or times on or after April 26, 2023 until exercised in full. The 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants rely on the exemptions from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) under the Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for transactions not involving a public offering.

April 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants

On April 18, 2024, the Company entered into certain subscription agreements with certain individual and institutional accredited investors in connection with the sale by the Company of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share and 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants. Pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements, each 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant was sold at a price of $3.107 per 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant. Each 2024 Pre-Funded Warrant has an exercise price of $0.001 per Class A Ordinary Share and is exercisable for one Company's Class A Ordinary Share at any time or times on or after April 22, 2024 until exercised in full. The 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants rely on the exemptions from registration provided by Regulation D promulgated thereunder, for transactions not involving a public offering.

Registration Rights

March 2023 A&R Registration Rights Agreement

On March 20, 2023, in connection with and effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, Zura, the Sponsor and certain other parties entered into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement at the Closing, pursuant to which they agreed to register for resale certain Class A Ordinary Shares and other equity securities that are held by parties thereto from time to time. The A&R Registration Rights Agreement includes customary demand and piggyback registration rights.

With certain limited exceptions, certain of our Class A Ordinary Shares held by parties to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to permitted transferees, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) six months after the completion of the Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the Business Combination, (x) if the reported closing price of our Zura Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Business Combination or (y) the date, following the completion of the Business Combination, on which we complete a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

April 2023 Private Placement

We have filed the registration statement for which this prospectus is a part pursuant to the terms of the subscription agreements entered into with the investors (the "2023 Subscribers") in the April 2023 Private Placement (the "2023 PIPE Subscription Agreements"), which provides that the Company prepare and file, within 45 days after the closing of the April 2023 Private Placement (the "2023 Filing Deadline"), one or more registration statements (each a "2023 PIPE Registration Statement") with the SEC to register for resale the Class A Ordinary Shares (the "2023 PIPE Shares") issued under the 2023 PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2023 Pre-Funded Warrants (the "2023 Warrant Shares") issued pursuant to the 2023 PIPE Subscription Agreements, and to cause the applicable 2023 PIPE Registration Statement(s) to become effective within a specified period after the 2023 Filing Deadline. The Company also agreed to use its best efforts to keep such 2023 PIPE Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date all 2023 PIPE Shares and 2023 Warrant Shares held by or issuable to a 2023 Subscriber may be sold under Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated under the Securities Act without being subject to any volume or manner of sale requirements, (ii) the date on which all 2023 PIPE Shares and 2023 Warrant Shares have actually been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to the 2023 PIPE Registration Statement and (iii) the date which is two years from the date that the initial 2023 PIPE Registration Statement is declared effective (or any Additional Effectiveness Date (as defined in the 2023 PIPE Subscription Agreements), if applicable).

April 2024 Private Placement

Under the terms of the subscription agreements entered into with the investors (the "2024 Subscribers") in the April 2024 Private Placement (the "2024 PIPE Subscription Agreements"), the Company has agreed to prepare and file, within 35 days after the closing of the April 2024 Private Placement (the "2024 Filing Deadline"), one or more registration statements (each a "2024 PIPE Registration Statement") with the SEC to register for resale the Class A Ordinary Shares (the "2024 PIPE Shares") issued under the 2024 PIPE Subscription Agreements and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the 2024 Pre-Funded Warrants (the "2024 Warrant Shares") issued pursuant to the 2024 PIPE Subscription Agreements, and to cause the applicable 2024 PIPE Registration Statement(s) to become effective within a specified period after the 2024 Filing Deadline. The Company also agreed to use its best efforts to keep such 2024 PIPE Registration Statement effective until the earlier of (i) the date all 2024 PIPE Shares and 2024 Warrant Shares held by or issuable to a 2024 Subscriber may be sold under Rule 144 ("Rule 144") promulgated under the Securities Act without being subject to any volume or manner of sale requirements, (ii) the date on which all 2024 PIPE Shares and 2024 Warrant Shares have actually been sold pursuant to Rule 144 or pursuant to the 2024 PIPE Registration Statement and (iii) the date which is two years from the date that the initial 2024 PIPE Registration Statement is declared effective (or any Additional Effectiveness Date (as defined in the 2024 PIPE Subscription Agreements), if applicable). The Company filed the 2024 PIPE Registration Statement on May 24, 2024, which was declared effective by the SEC on June 3, 2024.

21

Dividends

We have not paid any cash dividends on our shares to date and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our ability to comply with relevant legal requirements as well as our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition. The payment of any dividends will be within the discretion of the Zura Board. It is the present intention of our Board of Directors to retain all earnings, if any, for use in our business operations and, accordingly, our board does not anticipate declaring any dividends in the foreseeable future.

Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent

The transfer agent for our Class A Ordinary Shares and the Warrant Agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 17 Battery Place, New York, New York 10004. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its shareholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any liability due to any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the indemnified person or entity.

Listing of Our Securities

Our Class A Ordinary Shares are listed on Nasdaq under the symbol "ZURA".

Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders

Our MAA provide that the directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the Board of Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a shareholders' requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company. A shareholders' requisition is a requisition of shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than 10% cent in par value of the issued shares which as at that date carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company.

Advance Notice Requirements for Shareholder Proposals and Director Nominations

Our MAA provide that shareholders seeking to bring business before our annual general meeting, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at our annual general meeting, must provide timely notice of their intent in writing. To be timely, a shareholder's notice will need to be delivered to our principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days before the date of the proxy statement released to shareholders in connection with the previous year's annual general meeting or, if we did not hold an annual general meeting in the previous year, or if the date of the current year's annual general meeting has been changed by more than 30 days from the date of the previous year's annual general meeting, then the deadline shall be set by our Board of Directors with such deadline being a reasonable time before we begin to print and send the related proxy materials. Our MAA also specify certain requirements as to the form and content of a shareholders' meeting. These provisions may preclude our shareholders from bringing matters before our annual general meeting or from making nominations for directors at our annual general meeting.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Our authorized but unissued Zura Class A Ordinary Shares and preference shares are available for future issuances without shareholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Zura Class A Ordinary Shares and preference shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

22

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the Selling Securityholders of (i) up to 21,248,364 Class A Ordinary Shares of Zura (consisting of 21,248,364 Class A Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding, and 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying Pre-Funded Warrants) and (ii) 3,782,000 Pre-Funded Warrants. The Registrable Securities consist of:

· 2,000,000 Ewon Shares;
· 9,950 Eugene Shares;
· 6,801,633 FPA Shares;
· 3,450,000 Founder Shares;
· 550,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to Lilly upon the closing of the Business Combination;
· 18,823,530 April 2023 Private Placement Shares (including 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants);
· 499,993 restricted Class A Ordinary Shares underlying an award of restricted share units offered to our executives;
· an additional 898,018 Class A Ordinary Shares underlying restricted share units offered to our executives;
· an additional 1,000,000 shares issued to Lilly in connection with the entry into the Lilly-ZB17 License Agreement;
· an additional 1,158,236 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to affiliates of the Company in connection with the exchange of the private placement warrants, pursuant to the Warrant Exchange; and
· 3,782,000 Pre-Funded Warrants.

This prospectus also relates to the issuance by us of an aggregate of up to 3,782,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. See "Use of Proceeds."

We could receive up to an aggregate of $3,782 if all of the Pre-Funded Warrants registered hereunder are exercised for cash. The exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants, and any proceeds we may receive from their exercise, are highly dependent on the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares and the spread between the exercise price of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the price of our Class A Ordinary Shares at the time of exercise. There can be no assurance that all of our Pre-Funded Warrants will be in the money prior to their expiration. Our Pre-Funded Warrants are not redeemable and are exercisable on a cashless basis. As such, it is possible that we may never generate any cash proceeds from the exercise of our Pre-Funded Warrants. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth under "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus.

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Registrable Securities by the Selling Securityholders. We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the Class A Ordinary Shares to be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus. The Selling Securityholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to their sale of Class A Ordinary Shares.

23

Once issued and upon effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, the Class A Ordinary Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants beneficially owned by the Selling Securityholders covered by this prospectus may be offered and sold from time to time by the Selling Securityholders. The term "Selling Securityholders includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors in interest selling Class A Ordinary Shares received after the date of this prospectus from a Selling Securityholders as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer. Each Selling Securityholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale. Such sales may be made on one or more exchanges or in the over-the-counter market or otherwise, at prices and under terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then-current market price or in negotiated transactions. Each Selling Securityholder reserves the right to accept and, together with its respective agents, to reject, any proposed purchase of Class A Ordinary Shares to be made directly or through agents. The Selling Securityholders and any of its permitted transferees may sell their Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the Class A Ordinary Shares are traded or in private transactions.

The Selling Securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling the Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus:

· purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
· ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
· block trades in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Class A Ordinary Shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
· an over-the-counter distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
· through trading plans entered into by a Selling Securityholders pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, that are in place at the time of an offering pursuant to this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement hereto that provide for periodic sales of their securities on the basis of parameters described in such trading plans;
· settlement of short sales entered into after the date of this prospectus;
· agreements with underwriters or broker-dealers to sell a specified number of the shares at a stipulated per share price;
· in "at the market" offerings, as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, at negotiated prices, at prices prevailing at the time of sale or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, including sales made directly on a national securities exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or other similar offerings through sales agents;
· directly to purchasers, including through a specific bidding, auction or other process or in privately negotiated transactions;
· through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
· through a combination of any of the above methods of sale; or
· any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

In addition, a Selling Securityholder that is an entity may elect to make an in-kind distribution of Class A Ordinary Shares to its members, partners or shareholders pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part by delivering a prospectus with a plan of distribution. Such members, partners or shareholders would thereby receive freely tradeable securities pursuant to the distribution through a registration statement. To the extent a distributee is an affiliate of ours (or to the extent otherwise required by law), we may file a prospectus supplement in order to permit the distributees to use the prospectus to resell the Class A Ordinary Shares acquired in the distribution.

24

The Selling Securityholders also may transfer the Registrable Securities in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors-in-interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus. Upon being notified by a Selling Securityholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee, other successor-in-interest intends to sell Registrable Securities, we will, to the extent required, promptly file a supplement to this prospectus to name specifically such person as a Selling Securityholders.

To the extent required, the Registrable Securities to be sold, the names of the Selling Securityholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in an accompanying prospectus supplement or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement that includes this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities, the Selling Securityholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Registrable Securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Securityholders may also sell the Registrable Securities short and deliver these Class A Ordinary Shares to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Registrable Securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these shares. The Selling Securityholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of Class A Ordinary Shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

In offering the Class A Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus, the Selling Securityholders and any underwriters, broker-dealers or agents who execute sales for the Selling Securityholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of those Class A Ordinary Shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act (it being understood that the Selling Securityholders named herein shall not be deemed to be an underwriter solely as a result of its participation in this offering).

Pursuant to the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement, the ZB-106 Equity Grant Agreement, the Lilly Registration Rights Agreement, and the Second PIPE Subscription Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the Selling Securityholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders have agreed to indemnify us in certain circumstances against certain liabilities, including certain liabilities under the Securities Act, as set forth in the PIPE Subscription Agreements, the Forward Purchase Agreement and the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement.

In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the Class A Ordinary Shares must be sold in such jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the Class A Ordinary Shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

The Selling Securityholders are subject to the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, including Regulation M. This regulation may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities offered in this prospectus by the Selling Securityholders. The anti-manipulation rules under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of the securities in the market and to the activities of the Selling Securityholders and its affiliates. Furthermore, Regulation M may restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities for the particular securities being distributed for a period of up to five business days before the distribution. The restrictions may affect the marketability of the securities and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities for the securities. In addition, to the extent applicable we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the Selling Securityholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The Selling Securityholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 14. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution.

The following table sets forth all costs and expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, payable by us in connection with the sale of the securities being registered. All amounts shown are estimates except for the SEC registration fee.

Amount
SEC registration fee $ 34,505 *
Accountants' fees and expenses $ 25,000
Legal fees and expenses $ 100,000
Printing fees $ 125,000
Miscellaneous 5,000
Total expenses $ 289,505

*      Previously paid.

Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses attributable to the sale of Ordinary Shares covered by this prospectus will be borne by the Selling Securityholders. We will pay all expenses (other than discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses) relating to the registration of the securities with the SEC, as estimated in the table above.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company's memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The MAA provide for indemnification of our current and former officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect.

We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and directors a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to our registration statement on Form S-1 that was declared effective by the SEC on July 13, 2021. These agreements require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Cayman Islands law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is theretofore unenforceable.

Effective immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of the newly elected directors and newly appointed executive officers which provide that the Company will indemnify such directors and executive officers under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, and including appeals, in which he or she may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands and our Second Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association.

Item 17. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes as follows:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i) Each prospectus filed by a Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or our securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(6) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(b) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the undersigned pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the undersigned has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the undersigned of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the undersigned in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the undersigned will, unless in the opinion of our counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
