Item 1.01 Entry into a Material definitive Agreement.
Amendment to the Business Combination Agreement
As previously disclosed, on September 12, 2023, Inception Growth Acquisition Limited, a Delaware corporation ("IGTA"), entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement") with IGTA Merger Sub Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and wholly owned subsidiary of IGTA (such company before the Redomestication Merger (as defined below) is sometimes referred to as the "Purchaser" and upon and following the Redomestication Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as "PubCo"), AgileAlgo Holdings Ltd., a British Virgin Islands company ("AgileAlgo" or the "Company"), and certain shareholders of AgileAlgo (the "Signing Sellers", who together own approximately 88.3% of AgileAlgo's issued and outstanding shares), and which agreement may also be thereafter executed by each of the other shareholders of AgileAlgo (such shareholders who become party to such agreement, the "Joining Sellers", and together with the Signing Sellers, the "Sellers") in one or more joinder agreements thereto, which provides for a business combination between IGTA and AgileAlgo.
As previously disclosed, on June 20, 2024, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into an Amendment No. 1 to the Business Combination Agreement, which serves to amend the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to November 30, 2024.
On December 16, 2024, the parties to the Business Combination Agreement entered into an Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement (the "Amendment No. 2"). The Amendment No. 2 serves to amend the Business Combination Agreement to extend the Outside Closing Date (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) to March 31, 2025. The Amendment No. 2 further amends the Business Combination Agreement that the Company may terminate the Business Combination Agreement by giving notice to IGTA if the common stock of IGTA has become delisted from Nasdaq and either the Parent Common Stock is, or the Purchaser Ordinary Shares are, not relisted on Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange on or prior to March 31, 2025.
The foregoing description of the Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amendment No. 2 to the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Important Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to the proposed Business Combination. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result" and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the proposed Business Combination, including the anticipated initial enterprise value, the benefits of the proposed Business Combination, integration plans, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, and the expected timing of the Business Combination. 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 and uncertainties, 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. Consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events.
2
Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Current Report, including but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of IGTA's securities; (ii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the stockholders of IGTA; (iii) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against any of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement following the announcement of the entry into the Business Combination Agreement and proposed Business Combination; (v) the ability of the parties to recognize the benefits of the Business Combination Agreement and the proposed Business Combination; (vi) the lack of useful financial information for an accurate estimate of future capital expenditures and future revenue; (vii) statements regarding AgileAlgo's industry and market size; (viii) financial condition and performance of AgileAlgo, including the anticipated benefits, the implied enterprise value, the expected financial impacts of the Business Combination, potential level of redemptions of IGTA's public stockholders, the financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, the products, the expected future performance and market opportunities of AgileAlgo; (ix) the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in AgileAlgo's industry; (x) competition from larger technology companies that have greater resources, technology, relationships and/or expertise; and (xi) those factors discussed in IGTA's filings with the SEC and that will be contained in the definitive proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the "Risk Factors" section of the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents to be filed by IGTA from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and while AgileAlgo and IGTA may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, subject to applicable law. Neither AgileAlgo nor IGTA gives any assurance that AgileAlgo, or IGTA, or the combined company, will achieve its expectations.
