NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF GLOBAL BLOCKCHAIN ACQUISITION CORP.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN of a Special Meeting of Stockholders (the "Special Meeting") of Global Blockchain Acquisition Corp., which we refer to as "we", "us", "our" or the "Company", to be held at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on November 5, 2024.

The Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting of stockholders, which will be conducted via live webcast. You will be able to vote and examine the list of Stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting by visiting www.cleartrustonline.com/GBBK and entering the control number found on your proxy card, included in your proxy materials. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail, by toll-free telephone number or, by using the Internet. We are pleased to utilize the virtual stockholder meeting technology to provide ready access and cost savings for our stockholders and the Company. The virtual meeting format allows attendance from any location in the world.

Even if you are planning on attending the Special Meeting online, please promptly submit your proxy vote online or by telephone, or, if you received a printed form of proxy in the mail, by completing, dating, signing and returning the enclosed proxy, so your shares will be represented at the Special Meeting. Instructions on voting your shares are in the proxy materials you received for the Special Meeting.

The sole purpose of the Special Meeting is to consider and vote upon the following proposals:

1.Proposal 1 - Extension Proposal: To amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination or, if it fails to do so, cease its operations and redeem or repurchase 100% of the shares of the Company's common stock issued in the Company's initial public offering, from November 12, 2024, monthly for up to nine additional months at the election of the Company and only upon the monthly contribution of the lesser of (A) $25,000 or (B) $0.05 per outstanding public share, ultimately until as late as August 12, 2025 (the "Extension", and such extension date the "Extended Date"). A copy of the proposed amendment, which we refer to as the "Extension Amendment", is set forth in Annex A.

2.Proposal 2 - Trust Amendment Proposal: To approve an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated May 9, 2022, (the "Trust Agreement"), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Company (the "Trustee"), pursuant to an amendment in the form set forth in Annex B of the accompanying proxy statement, to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company.

Each of the proposals (together, the "Proposals") is more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement. The purpose of the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow us additional time to complete the an initial business combination, as contemplated by our charter.

Our Board currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before November12, 2024, to complete an initial business combination. Therefore, the Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination in order that our stockholders have the opportunity to participate in our future investment.

In connection with the Extension Proposal, stockholders who own shares of our common stock issued in our initial public offering ("public shares") have certain rights to have their shares redeemed by the Company for cash. For a description of these redemption rights and the procedure for electing redemption, see "PROPOSAL 1 - THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL - Redemption Rights."

To exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that the Company redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, and tender your shares to the Company's transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or [], 2024). You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using

the Depository Trust Company's DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

If the Extension Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, unless the Company can complete a business combination by November12, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make additional contributions will terminate.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on October [], 2024 as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting. Only holders of record of the Company's common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting.

Based upon the current amount in the Trust Account, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $11.[ ] at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company's common stock on October [ ], 2024 was $11.[ ]. The Company cannot assure stockholders that they will be able to sell their shares of the Company in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such stockholders wish to sell their shares.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for a meeting to consider a business combination, you will retain the right to vote on a business combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event a business combination is approved and completed, or if we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that all of the Proposals are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote "FOR" such proposals.

Enclosed is the Proxy Statement containing detailed information concerning the Proposals and the Special Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

[], 2024

Your vote is important. If you are a stockholder of record, please vote online or by telephone, or sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record, you may also cast your vote online at the Special Meeting. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank how to vote your shares, or you may cast your vote online at the Special Meeting by obtaining a proxy from your brokerage firm or bank.

SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 5, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT

The Special Meeting of stockholders of Global Blockchain Acquisition Corp., which we refer to as "we", "us", "our" or the "Company", will be held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time on November 5, 2024, as a virtual meeting. You will be able to vote and examine the list of Stockholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting by visiting www.cleartrustonline.com/GBBK and entering the control number found on your proxy card, included in your proxy materials. You will find more information on the matters for voting in the proxy statement on the following pages. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by mail, by toll-free telephone number or, by using the internet. The Special Meeting will be held for the sole purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

1.Proposal 1 - Extension Proposal: To amend the Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation, which we refer to as the "charter", to extend the date by which the Company must consummate a business combination or, if it fails to do so, cease its operations and redeem or repurchase 100% of the shares of the Company's common stock issued in the Company's initial public offering, from November 12, 2024, monthly for up to nine additional months at the election of the Company and only upon the monthly contribution of the lesser of (A) $25,000 or (B) $0.05 per outstanding public share, ultimately until as late as August 12, 2025 (the "Extension", and such extension date the "Extended Date"). A copy of the proposed amendment, which we refer to as the "Extension Amendment", is set forth in Annex A.

2.Proposal 2 - The Trust Amendment Proposal: To approve an amendment to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated May 9, 2022, (the "Trust Agreement"), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Company (the "Trustee"), pursuant to an amendment in the form set forth in Annex B of the accompanying proxy statement, to authorize the Extension and its implementation by the Company.

The purpose of the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to allow us additional time to complete an initial business combination, as contemplated by our charter (a "Business Combination").

In connection with the Extension Proposal, stockholders who own shares of our common stock issued in our initial public offering ("IPO") (we refer to such stockholders as "public stockholders" and such shares as "public shares") may elect to redeem all or a portion of their public shares even if they vote for, or do not vote on, the Extension Proposal. If such stockholders elect to redeem, the redemption will be for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company's trust account (the "Trust Account"), including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. We refer to the election to redeem public shares in connection with the Extension Proposal as the "Election." If the Extension Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of stockholders, holders of public shares who do not make the Election will retain their right to redeem their public shares when a business combination is submitted to the stockholders for approval, subject to any limitations set forth in our charter as amended by the Extension Amendment. In addition, public stockholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their public shares redeemed for cash if the Company has not completed a business combination by the Extended Date.

Simultaneous with the closing of our IPO, we completed the sale of 8,537,500 private placement warrants in a private placement to our Sponsor, I-Bankers Securities, Inc., and Dawson James Securities, Inc.

Our Sponsor, its affiliates and our independent directors collectively own 4,312,500 shares of our common stock that were issued prior to our IPO, which shares we refer to as "Founder Shares." The Founder Shares and an additional 450,000 shares ("Representative Shares") owned by affiliates of I-Bankers Securities, Inc. and Dawson James Securities, Inc., the underwriters in our IPO (the "Representatives"), are not subject to redemption pursuant to the Election.

We will not proceed with the Extension Amendment if the number of public shares redeemed subject to the Election causes us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Proposal.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that the Company redeem your public shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account, and tender your shares to the Company's transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or November 1, 2024). The redemption rights include the requirement that a stockholder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number, and address in order to validly redeem its public shares. You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company's DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

The withdrawal of funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $25.[ ] million that was in the Trust Account as of October [], 2024. In such event, the Company may need to obtain additional funds to complete a business combination or another initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

If the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by November 12, 2024, in accordance with our charter, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares of common stock in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares of common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under the Delaware General Corporation Law, which we refer to as the "DGCL", to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of our winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor and our officers and directors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of 4,312,500 Founder Shares that were issued prior to our IPO. As a consequence, a liquidating distribution will be made only with respect to the public shares.

The affirmative vote of at least 65% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, will be required to approve the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

If the Company liquidates, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us, or any claims by a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into an acquisition agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below (i) $10.15 per public share or (ii) such lesser amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest which may be withdrawn to pay taxes, except as to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to our Trust Account and except as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which we refer to as the "Securities Act." Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We cannot assure you, however, that our Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. Based upon the current amount in

the Trust Account, we anticipate that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $11.[ ]. Nevertheless, the Company cannot assure you that the per-share distribution from the Trust Account, if the Company liquidates, will not be less than $10.15, plus interest, due to unforeseen claims of creditors.

Under the DGCL, stockholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against a corporation to the extent of distributions received by them in a dissolution. If the corporation complies with certain procedures set forth in Section 280 of the DGCL intended to ensure that it makes reasonable provision for all claims against it, including a 60-day notice period during which any third-party claims can be brought against the corporation, a 90-day period during which the corporation may reject any claims brought, and an additional 150-day waiting period before any liquidating distributions are made to stockholders, any liability of stockholders with respect to a liquidating distribution is limited to the lesser of such stockholder's pro rata share of the claim or the amount distributed to the stockholder, and any liability of the stockholder would be barred after the third anniversary of the dissolution.

Because the Company will not be complying with Section 280 of the DGCL, Section 281(b) of the DGCL requires us to adopt a plan, based on facts known to us at such time that will provide for our payment of all existing and pending claims or claims that may be potentially brought against us within the 10 years following our dissolution. However, because we are a blank check company, rather than an operating company, and our operations have been limited to searching for prospective target businesses to acquire, the only likely claims to arise would be from our vendors (such as lawyers or investment bankers) or prospective target businesses.

If the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement, will (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount, which we refer to as the "Withdrawal Amount", equal to the number of public shares properly redeemed multiplied by the per-share price (such per-share price being equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares) and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed public shares their portion of the Withdrawal Amount. The remainder of such funds shall remain in the Trust Account and be available for use by the Company to complete a business combination on or before the Extended Date. Holders of public shares who do not redeem their public shares now will retain their redemption rights and their ability to vote on a business combination through the Extended Date if the Extension Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on October [], 2024, as the date for determining the Company stockholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company's common stock on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On the record date for the Special Meeting, there were 5,508,353 shares of common stock outstanding. The Company's warrants do not have voting rights in connection with the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting.

This Proxy Statement contains important information about the Special Meeting and the proposals. Please read it carefully and vote your shares.

This Proxy Statement is dated [ ], 2024, and is first being mailed to stockholders on or about [], 2024.

PROPOSAL 1 - THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL

Overview

The Company is proposing to amend its charter to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination for up to nine additional months at the election of the Company, ultimately until as late as August 12, 2025 (the "Extended Date"), to allow the Company more time to complete its initial business combination (the "Extension Proposal").

The purpose of this proposal is to allow the Company additional time to complete an initial business combination. The Board believes that, given the Company's expenditure of time, effort and money on finding a business combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider a business combination.

If the Extension Proposal is approved, commencing on or before November 12, 2024, our Sponsor, or its designees, in their sole discretion, may provide us with loans each month to extend monthly for up to nine additional months at the election of the Company and only upon the monthly contribution of the lesser of (A) $25,000 or (B) $0.05 for each redeemable public share that is not redeemed in connection with this Special Meeting for each of the nine subsequent calendar months commencing on November 12, 2024, that is needed by us to complete an initial business combination. Assuming the Extension Proposal is approved, each monthly contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 12nd day of such calendar month.

The contributions are conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Proposal. The contributions will not occur if the Extension Proposal is not approved or the Extension is not completed. The amount of the contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to our Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial business combination. If our Sponsor or its designees advises the Company that it does not intend to make the contributions, then the Extension Proposal will not be put before the stockholders at the Special Meeting and, unless the Company can complete a business combination by November 12, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make additional contributions will terminate.

A copy of the proposed amendment to the charter of the Company is attached to this Proxy Statement as Annex A.

The Company's public stockholders will have an opportunity to have their public shares redeemed in accordance with the Company's charter either upon enactment of the Extension Amendment or, whether or not the Extension Proposal is approved, upon consummation of an initial business combination or in connection with the winding up of the Company. See "Redemption Rights" below.

Reasons for the Extension Proposal

The Company's amended charter provides that the Company has until November 12, 2024, to complete the purposes of the Company, including effecting a business combination under its terms. The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to allow the Company more time to complete a Business Combination.

The Company's charter provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of all outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, is required to amend the charter to extend our corporate existence, except in connection with, and effective upon, consummation of a business combination. Because we continue to believe that a business combination would be in the best interests of our stockholders, and because we do not expect to be able to conclude a business combination before November 12, 2024, the Board has determined to seek stockholder approval to extend the date by which we have to complete a business combination until the Extended Date. We intend to hold another stockholder meeting prior to the Extended Date in order to seek stockholder approval of the business combination.

We believe that the foregoing charter provision was included to protect Company stockholders from having to sustain their investments for an unreasonably long period if the Company failed to find a suitable business combination in the timeframe contemplated by the charter. We also believe that, given the Company's expenditure of time, effort and money on finding a business combination with respect to the business combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider a business combination.

If the Extension Proposal Is Not Approved

If the Extension Proposal is not approved, we will not amend our charter to extend the deadline for effecting a business combination. If that deadline is not extended, it is highly unlikely that we will consummate a business combination by November 12, 2024. If we have not consummated the business combination by November 12, 2024, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the public shares of common stock in consideration of a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (net of taxes payable, less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (B) the total number of then outstanding public shares of common stock, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of public stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the Board in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company's obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law.

There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless in the event we wind up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor, officers and directors, and Anchor Investors will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares and warrants.

If the Extension Proposal Is Approved

If the Extension Proposal is approved, the Company will file an amendment to the charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in the form set forth in Annex A hereto to extend the time it has to complete a business combination until the Extended Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Exchange Act and its common stock and public warrants will remain publicly traded. The Company will then continue to work to consummate the business combination by the Extended Date.

Notwithstanding stockholder approval of the Extension Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension at any time without any further action by our stockholders.

If the Extension Proposal is approved, and the Extension Amendment is implemented, each public stockholder may seek to redeem its public shares as described under "Redemption Rights," below. We cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account following any redemptions, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $25.[] million that was in the Trust Account as of the record date. We will not proceed with the Extension Amendment if redemptions or repurchases of our public shares cause us to have less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets following approval of the Extension Proposal.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Amendment is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares, provided that you are a stockholder on the record date for a meeting to consider the business combination, you will retain the right to vote on the business combination when it is submitted to stockholders, and you will have the right to redeem your public shares for cash in the event the business combination is approved and completed. You will also be entitled to receive your share of the funds in the Trust Account if we have not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

Required Vote

The affirmative vote of holders of at least 65% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, is required to approve the Extension Proposal. If you do not vote, you abstain from voting or you fail to instruct your broker or other nominee as to the voting of shares you beneficially own, your action will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Extension Proposal.

If you do not want the Extension Proposal approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote "AGAINST" the Extension Amendment. You will be entitled to redeem your public shares for cash in connection with the Extension Amendment whether or not you vote on the Extension Proposal, and regardless of how you vote, so long as you exercise your redemption rights as described below under "Redemption Rights." The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the implementation of the Extension.

Our Sponsor, all of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates, and the Representatives are expected to vote any common stock owned by them in favor of the Extension Proposal. On the record date, our Sponsor, directors and officers of the Company and their affiliates, and the Representatives beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 4,762,500 shares, including 4,312,500 Founder Shares and 450,000 Representative Shares, representing approximately 86.5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Our Sponsor and our directors, executive officers and their affiliates do not intend to purchase shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in connection with the stockholder vote on the Extension Amendment.

Recommendation of the Board

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Amendment is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Our Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Proposal.

Our Board unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote "FOR" the approval of the Extension Proposal.

Interests of our Sponsor, Directors and Officers and the Representatives

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, executive officers and members of our Board have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder. These interests include, among other things:

•our Sponsor and its affiliates own 4,312,500 Founder Shares and 450,000 Representative Shares; none of these securities (which represent an aggregate investment of $3,488,674) are subject to redemption, and all will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by November12, 2024, unless the Extension Amendment is implemented;

•if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event we are unable to complete an initial business combination within the required time period, our Sponsor has agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.15 per public share, or such lesser per public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such a third party or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account; and

•none of our officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered to the Company, and all of the current members of our Board are expected to continue to serve as directors at least through the date of the special meeting to vote on a proposed business combination and may even continue to serve following any potential business combination and receive compensation thereafter.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted and, as a result, we may abandon our efforts to consummate an initial business combination and liquidate.

There is currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to blank check companies, or SPACs, including companies like ours. As a result, it is possible that a claim could be made that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would expect to abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate. If we were to liquidate, our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any investment opportunity related to a Business Combination, and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we have instructed the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or our liquidation. As a result, we will likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which may reduce the dollar amount the public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

To mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, on or about April 9, 2024, we instructed the trustee with respect to the Trust Account to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account and other cash items until the earlier of consummation of an initial business combination or liquidation of the Company. As a result, we expect the Trust Account assets to have an associated interest or yield, however we will only receive interest and yield associated with interest bearing demand deposit account and cash items, which may be minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, the decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in including interest bearing demand deposit account and other cash items may reduce the dollar amount the public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by November 12, 2024, or such later date that may be approved by our public stockholders, such as the Extended Date, we will be required to liquidate and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any investment opportunity related to a Business Combination, and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

In the event that we are deemed to be an investment company, despite any change in investments in the Trust Account, we may be required to liquidate the Company, and the longer the period before the investment change, the greater the risk of being considered an investment company.

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company if such initial business combination is subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or is ultimately prohibited.

None of the members of the Company's sponsor group is, is controlled by, or has substantial ties with a foreign person and therefore, we believe, will not be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). However, our initial business combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 ("FIRRMA"), to include certain

non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS's jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by November 12, 2024, or such later date that may be approved by our shareholders, such as the Extended Date, because the review process extends beyond such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive $10.15 per share, without taking into account any interest earned on IPO proceeds held in the Trust Account, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company, and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

A 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on the Company in connection with redemptions by Company of its shares in connection with a business combination or other stockholder vote pursuant to which stockholders would have a right to submit their shares for redemption (a "Redemption Event").

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IR Act") was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations.

The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The Treasury has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the excise tax. In this regard, on December 27, 2022, the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued a notice announcing their intent to issue proposed regulations addressing the application of the excise tax, and describing certain rules on which taxpayers may rely prior to the issuance of such proposed regulations (the "Notice").

Any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022 in connection with a Redemption Event may be subject to the excise tax. Pursuant to the rules set forth in the Notice, however, redemptions in connection with a liquidation of the Company are generally not subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent the Company would be subject to the excise tax in connection with a Redemption Event would depend on a number of factors, including (i) the fair market value of the redemptions and repurchases in connection with the Redemption Event, (ii) the structure of the business combination, (iii) the nature and amount of any "PIPE" or other equity issuances in connection with the business combination (or otherwise issued not in connection with the Redemption Event but issued within the same taxable year of the business combination) and (iv) the content of regulations and other future guidance from the Treasury. In addition, because the excise tax would be payable by the Company, and not by the redeeming holder, the mechanics of any required payment of the excise tax have not been determined. The foregoing could cause a reduction in the cash available on hand to complete a business combination and in the Company's ability to complete a business combination. The proceeds placed in the Trust Account and the interest earned thereon will not be used to pay for the Excise Tax that may be levied on the Company in connection with such redemptions.

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Proposal is approved and the Extension Amendment is implemented, each public stockholder may seek to redeem its public shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. A public stockholder will have this redemption right regardless of how it votes, or whether it votes, with respect to the Extension Proposal. Holders of public shares who do not elect to redeem their public shares in connection with the Extension will retain the right to redeem their public shares in connection with any stockholder vote to approve a proposed business combination, or if the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended Date.

If the Extension Proposal is not approved, unless the Company can complete a business combination by November 12, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Our Sponsor or its designees will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Extended Date and if our Sponsor determines not to continue extending for additional calendar months, its obligation to make additional contributions will terminate.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST SUBMIT A REQUEST IN WRITING THAT WE REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR CASH TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS BELOW, AND, AT THE SAME TIME, COMPLY, OR ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES, WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN, INCLUDING DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON NOVEMBER1, 2024. THE REDEMPTION RIGHTS INCLUDE THE REQUIREMENT THAT A STOCKHOLDER MUST IDENTIFY ITSELF IN WRITING AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE ITS LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER, AND ADDRESS IN ORDER TO VALIDLY REDEEM ITS PUBLIC SHARES.

In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2024 (two business days before the Special Meeting), you must either physically tender your stock certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attn: SPAC Redemption Team, [email protected], or deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using the Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") DWAC system, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2024 (two business days before the Special Meeting) ensures that a redeeming holder's election is irrevocable once the Extension Proposal is approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, stockholders making the election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the Special Meeting.

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the stockholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in "street name," by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder's broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company's transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company's understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Such stockholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those stockholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Stockholders who request physical stock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2024 (two business days before the Special Meeting), will not be redeemed for cash held in the Trust Account on the redemption date. In the event that a public stockholder tenders its shares and decides prior to the vote at the Special Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the stockholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Special

Meeting not to redeem your public shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a public stockholder tenders shares and the Extension Proposal is not approved or the Extension is otherwise not implemented, these shares will not be redeemed and will be returned to the stockholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Proposal will not be approved. The Company anticipates that a public stockholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after implementation of the Extension. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of public stockholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such stockholders.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each public share for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares. Based upon the amount in the Trust Account as of the record date, the Company anticipates that the per-share price at which public shares will be redeemed from cash held in the Trust Account will be approximately $11.[ ] at the time of the Special Meeting. The closing price of the Company's common stock on October [ ], 2024 was $11.[ ].

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares of the Company's common stock for cash and will no longer own the shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your stock certificate(s) to the Company's transfer agent prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on November 1, 2024 (two business days before the Special Meeting).

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of certain United States federal income tax considerations for holders of our common stock with respect to the exercise of redemption rights in connection with the approval of the Extension Proposal. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which we refer to as the "Code", the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Service, which we refer to as the "IRS", and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. This summary does not discuss all aspects of United States federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, such as investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, mutual funds, pension plans, S corporations, broker-dealers, traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, trusts and estates, partnerships and their partners, and tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations)) and investors that hold common stock as part of a "straddle," "hedge," "conversion," "synthetic security," "constructive ownership transaction," "constructive sale," or other integrated transaction for United States federal income tax purposes, investors subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, U.S. Holders (as defined below) that have a functional currency other than the United States dollar, U.S. expatriates, investors that actually or constructively own five percent or more of the common stock of the Company, and Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below, and except as otherwise discussed below), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss any state, local, or non-United States tax considerations, any non-income tax (such as gift or estate tax) considerations, alternative minimum tax or the Medicare tax. In addition, this summary is limited to investors that hold our common stock as "capital assets" (generally, property held for investment) under the Code.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our common stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of a redemption.

WE URGE HOLDERS OF OUR COMMON STOCK CONTEMPLATING EXERCISE OF THEIR REDEMPTION RIGHTS TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to U.S. Holders of our common stock that elect to have their common stock redeemed for cash. For purposes of this discussion, a "U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner that so redeems its common stock of the Company and is:

•an individual who is a United States citizen or resident of the United States;

•a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

•an estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•a trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

Redemption of Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. Holder's common stock of the Company is redeemed, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the common stock under Section 302 of the Code. Whether the redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning warrants) relative to all of our shares both before and after the redemption. The redemption of common stock generally will be treated as a sale of the common stock (rather than as a distribution) if the redemption (i) is "substantially disproportionate" with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a "complete termination" of the U.S. Holder's interest in us or (iii) is "not essentially equivalent to a dividend" with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the warrants. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of common stock must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder's interest if either (i) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other stock. The redemption of the common stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder's conversion results in a "meaningful reduction" of the U.S. Holder's proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder's proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a "meaningful reduction."

If none of the foregoing tests are satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a distribution and the tax effects will be as described below under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders - Taxation of Distributions."

U.S. Holders of our common stock considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their common stock of the Company will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Gain or Loss on a Redemption of Common Stock Treated as a Sale

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, a U.S. Holder must treat any gain or loss recognized as capital gain or loss. Any such capital gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder's holding period for the common stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Generally, a U.S. Holder will recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount of cash received in such redemption and (ii) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common stock so redeemed. A U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its common stock generally will equal the U.S. Holder's acquisition cost (that is, the portion of the purchase price of a unit allocated to a share of common stock or the purchase price of a share of common stock purchased in the open market) less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. Long-term capital gain realized by a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will be taxable at a reduced rate. The deduction of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Taxation of Distributions

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution. In general, any distributions to U.S. Holders generally will constitute dividends for United States federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under United States federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits

will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the common stock and will be treated as described under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders - Gain or Loss on a Redemption of Common Stock Treated as a Sale". Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions, and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute "qualified dividends" that will be taxable at a reduced rate.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders

This section is addressed to Non-U.S. Holders of our common stock that elect to have their common stock redeemed for cash. For purposes of this discussion, a "Non-U.S. Holder" is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership) that so redeems its common stock of the Company and is not a U.S. Holder.

Redemption of Common Stock

The characterization for United States federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder's common stock generally will correspond to the United States federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder's common stock, as described under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Holders."

Non-U.S. Holders of our common stock considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their common stock of the Company will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Gain or Loss on a Redemption of Common Stock Treated as a Sale

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of common stock, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to United States federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale of its common stock of the Company, unless:

•the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder), in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a U.S. Holder with respect to the redemption, and a corporate Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to the branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty);

•the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year in which the redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met, in which case the Non-U.S. Holder will be subject to a 30% tax on the individual's net capital gain for the year; or

•we are or have been a "U.S. real property holding corporation" for United States federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the Non-U.S. Holder held our common stock, and, in the case where shares of our common stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the Non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our common stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such Non-U.S. Holder's holding period for the shares of our common stock. We do not believe we are or have been a U.S. real property holding corporation.

Taxation of Distributions

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of common stock, the Non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a distribution. In general, any distributions we make to a Non-U.S. Holder of shares of our common stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under United States federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the

United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis in its shares of our common stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder's adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the common stock, which will be treated as described under "U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Holders - Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Stock." Dividends we pay to a Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the United States generally will not be subject to United States withholding tax, provided such Non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements. Instead, such dividends generally will be subject to United States federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders (subject to an exemption or reduction in such tax as may be provided by an applicable income tax treaty). If the Non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a "branch profits tax" at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

As previously noted above, the foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any stockholder. We once again urge you to consult with your own tax adviser to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares redeemed in connection with the Extension Proposal.

PROPOSAL 2 - THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Company entered into that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated May 9, 2022 (the "Trust Agreement"), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Company (the "Trustee") in connection with the Company's IPO and a potential business combination.

The proposed amendment to the Trust Agreement, in the form set forth in Annex B hereof (the "Trust Amendment"), would amend the Trust Agreement to authorize the Extension as contemplated by the Extension Proposal.

Reasons for the Proposal

The purpose of the Trust Amendment Proposal is to authorize the Extension under the Trust Agreement, as the Extension is not contemplated under the Trust Agreement's current terms.

We believe that given the Company's expenditure of time, effort and money on pursuing an initial business combination, circumstances warrant providing public stockholders an opportunity to consider a business combination. For the Company to implement the Extension, the Trust Agreement must be amended to authorize the Extension.

Vote Required for Approval

The affirmative vote of holders of 65% of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock, including the Founder Shares, is required to approve the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not vote, you abstain from voting or you fail to instruct your broker or other nominee as to the voting of shares you beneficially own, your action will have the same effect as a vote "AGAINST" the Trust Amendment Proposal. If you do not want the Trust Amendment Proposal approved, you must abstain, not vote, or vote "AGAINST" the Trust Amendment.

Our Sponsor, the Representatives and all of our directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any common stock owned by them in favor of the Trust Amendment Proposal. On the record date, our Sponsor, the Representatives, directors and officers of the Company and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 4,762,500 shares of Common Stock, including 4,312,500 Founder Shares and 450,000 Representative Shares, representing approximately 86.5% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock. Our Sponsor and our directors, executive officers and their affiliates do not intend to purchase shares of common stock in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions in connection with the stockholder vote on the Trust Amendment.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that our stockholders vote "FOR" the approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholder Proposals

Business must be properly brought before an annual meeting in order to be considered by stockholders. Any stockholder desiring to present a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act to be included in the definitive proxy statement and voted on by the stockholders at the 2025 Special Meeting of stockholders must submit a written proposal, including all supporting information, to the Company at its principal executive offices no later than 120 days prior to the date that we provide the notice of meeting for such annual meeting, and must meet all other requirements for inclusion in the proxy statement.

As provided in our Bylaws, if a stockholder intends to present a proposal for new business to be considered at the Special Meeting of stockholders but does not seek inclusion of the proposal in the Company's proxy statement for that meeting, then such proposal, including all supporting information, must be delivered to and received by the Company at our principal executive offices no later than 90 days nor earlier than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Company.

Director Nominations

The Company's Bylaws govern the submission of nominations for directors that a stockholder wishes to have considered at a meeting of stockholders, but that are not included in the Company's proxy materials. To nominate a director under our Bylaws, stockholders must submit a written proposal, including all supporting information, to the Company at its principal executive offices no later than 90 days nor earlier than 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is more than 30 days before or more than 60 days after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the meeting and not later than the later of (x) the close of business on the 90th day before the meeting or (y) the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting is first made by the Company. Accordingly, we must receive notice of director nominations proposed by stockholders pursuant to our Bylaws for the 2025 Special Meeting of Stockholders between November 21, 2024 and December 21, 2024.

In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under our Bylaws, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act to comply with the universal proxy rules. The requirements under the universal proxy rules are in addition to the applicable procedural requirements under our Bylaws described above.
