Company is in the process of identifying a potential business combination target company (the “Target”) for an initial
business combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”). The Company believes that the potential target business

The
General Meeting will be held for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals and resolutions:
| • | The Extension Proposal —
to consider and vote upon a proposal by a special resolution in the form set forth in Annex
A of the accompanying proxy statement to amend (the “Extension Proposal”)
the Articles of Association of the Company (the “Articles”) to extend
from November 9, 2024 (the “Current Termination Date’) initially for a
three month extension or until February 9, 2025, then on a month-to-month basis thereafter,
as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion, until September 9, 2025 (the “Extended
Date”), the date by which, if the Company has not consummated its initial business
combination, the Company must: (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter,
redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each (the “Class
A Shares” or “Public Shares”) issued in the Company’s
initial public offering, a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay incomes taxes, if any (less
up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then
Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’
rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions,
if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to
the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board
of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of paragraph (b) and (c), to the
Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and
in all cases, subject to the other requirements of applicable law; |
| • | The Ratification of Auditors Proposal
— as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to consider and vote to ratify the appointment
of Marcum LLP. as the independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year December
31, 2024; and |
| • | The Adjournment Proposal—
as an ordinary resolution, to approve the adjournment of the General Meeting by the chairman
thereof to a later date, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of additional
proxies for the purpose of approving the Extension Proposal, or to allow reasonable additional
time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that the Company
has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel is required under
applicable law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed
by the Company’s shareholders prior to the General Meeting or as otherwise determined
by the Board; provided that the General Meeting is reconvened as promptly as practical thereafter.
The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented at the General Meeting if based on the tabulated
votes collected at the time of the General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve
the Extension Proposal or if the Board otherwise determines that it is in the best interests
of the Company to adjourn the General Meeting. |
| • | To
transact such other business that may properly come before the General Meeting or any postponement
or adjournment thereof. |
Each
of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the
accompanying proxy statement. Please take the time to read carefully each of the proposals in the accompanying proxy statement before
you vote.
The
purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow ALCY additional time to complete
an initial business combination.
You
are not being asked to vote on a Business Combination at this time.
Holders
of the 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares purchased in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, (“Founder
Shares”) have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account in respect of any
Founder Shares held by it or them, as applicable, if the company fails to complete an initial business combination.
Our
sponsor, Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC (“Sponsor”) has indicated that if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Sponsor
will contribute $____ to extend the time to complete the Proposed Business Combination until February 9, 2025 for the first extension
period, and then $_____ per month on a monthly basis, until September 9, 2025, each such payment as a loan to the Company (each loan
being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) for the first extension and then each one-month extension period thereafter,
commencing on the 9th day of each month, (each such extension, an “Extension Period”) until the earlier of (x) the
date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve its initial business combination; (y)
the Extended Date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial business combination.
The
Company intends to deposit each contribution in the Trust Account within three business days of the beginning of the Extension Period
which such Contribution relates to. The Sponsor will not make any Contribution unless the Extension Proposal is approved. The Contributions
will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Company’s board of directors
will have the sole discretion to extend the timeline to consummate an initial business combination for an additional Extension Period.
If the board of directors determines not to extend the timeline to consummate an initial business combination by an additional Extension
Period, the additional Contributions will terminate. If the board of directors determines not to extend the timeline to consummate an
initial business combination by an additional Extension Period, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up and as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days after the Current Termination Date, redeem 100% of the
outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Articles. The Contribution will not bear any interest and
will be repayable by the Company to Sponsor, or its affiliates or designees, upon consummation of an initial business combination. The
loans will be forgiven if the Company is unable to consummate the Proposed Business Combination except to the extent of any funds held
outside of the Trust Account. If the Company’s board of directors determines that the Company will not be able to consummate the
Proposed Business Combination by the Extended Date, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and as
promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days after the Current Termination Date, redeem 100% of the issued and
outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Articles in the event that the Extension Proposal, and the
Ratification of Auditors Proposal are not approved.
Your
attention is directed to the proxy statement accompanying this Notice for a more complete statement of matters to be considered at the
General Meeting.
The
Company’s board of directors has fixed the close of business on _________________, 2024 as the record date for determining the
Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders
of record of the Ordinary Shares and Public Shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the General Meeting or any
adjournment thereof.
To
exercise your redemption rights, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to
the General 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.
After
careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Company’s board of directors recommends that you vote or give instructions to
vote (i) “FOR” the Extension Proposal; ((ii) “FOR” the Ratification of Auditors Proposal; and (iii) “FOR”
the Adjournment Proposal. Notwithstanding the order of the resolutions on the notice to the General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal
may be presented first to the shareholders if, based on the tabulated vote collected at the time of the General Meeting, there are insufficient
votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal.
Enclosed
is the proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the Extension Proposal, the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, and
the Adjournment Proposal and the General Meeting.
Whether
or not you plan to virtually attend the General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.
I
look forward to seeing you at the meeting.

the appointment of Marcum LLP. as the independent registered public accounting firm for the
fiscal year December 31, 2024; and |
| • | The Adjournment
Proposal— as an ordinary resolution, to consider and vote to approve the adjournment
of the General Meeting by the chairman thereof to a later date, if necessary, to permit further

the tabulated votes collected at the time of the General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Proposal, and
the Ratification of Auditors Proposal or the Board otherwise determines that it is in the best interests of the Company to adjourn the
General Meeting. |
In addition, our board of directors
currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Current Termination Date to complete the Proposed Business Combination
and hold an extraordinary general meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Proposed Business Combination. Accordingly,
our board of directors has determined it is in the best interests of the Company to extend the termination date from the Current Termination
Date to the Extended Date.
If the
Extension Proposal is not approved at the General Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and we do not consummate a business
combination by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as
reasonably possible but not more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable
in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay incomes taxes, if any, (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’
rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board
of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of paragraph (b) and (c), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands
law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases, subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
The Board
has fixed the close of business on __________________, 2024 as the record date for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled
to receive notice of and to vote at the General Meeting and any adjournment thereof (the “Record Date”). On the Record
Date, there were 12,095,500 Class A Ordinary Shares, $0.0001 par value (“Class A Shares”), and 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary
Shares (“Class B Shares” and together with the Class A Shares - the “Ordinary Shares”), $0.0001
par value, for a total of 14,970,500 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights.
Only holders of record of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on the Record Date are entitled to have their votes counted at the General
Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE GENERAL MEETING
These Questions and Answers
are only summaries of the matters they discuss. They do not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should carefully
read the entire document, including the annexes to this proxy statement.
| Q. | What is being voted on? |
| A. | You are being asked to consider and vote upon: |
(i) a proposal
by a special resolution in the form set forth in Annex A of the accompanying proxy statement to amend (the “Extension Proposal”)
the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association adopted by special resolution dated May 4, 2023 (the
“Articles”) to amend (the “Extension Proposal”) the Company’s Articles to: extend from November
9, 2024 (the “Current Termination Date’) three months until February 9, 2025, and thereafter on a month-to-month basis,
as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion, up to September 9, 2025 (the “Extended Date”), the date by
which, if the Company has not consummated the Proposed Business Combination, the Company must: (a) cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Class
A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each issued in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Class A Shares”
or the “Public Shares”), at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the
Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income
taxes, if any, (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue,
which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further
liquidation distributions, if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of
the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, in the case of paragraph
(b) and (c), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements
of applicable law and in all cases, subject to the other requirements of applicable law; and
(ii) a
proposal as an ordinary resolution, to consider and vote to ratify the appointment of Marcum LLP as the independent registered public
accounting firm for the fiscal year December 31, 2024, and (z) a proposal by an ordinary resolution to adjourn the General Meeting if
necessary.
| Q. | Why is the Company proposing the Extension Proposal? |
| A. | The Company is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman
Islands as an exempted company. We were incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share
purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial
business combination. Our Articles provide for the return of the IPO proceeds held in the Trust Account to the holders of Public Shares
if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated on or before the Current Termination Date, assuming that the time to complete
a business combination is not extended as provided in the Articles. As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company has until November
9, 2024 (the ”Current Termination Date”) to complete its Proposed Business Combination. |
The Company
is in the process of identifying a potential business combination target company (the “Target”) for an initial business
combination (the “Proposed Business Combination”). The Company believes the Target is a compelling opportunity for
the Company’s initial business combination and is currently in the process of negotiating terms for an initial business combination.
The purpose
of the Extension Proposal is to allow the Company more time to complete its Proposed Business Combination.
Our
board of directors currently believes that there will not be sufficient time before the Current Termination Date to complete its
Proposed Business Combination and hold a general meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Proposed
Business Combination. Accordingly, our board of directors has determined it is in the best interests of the Company and our
shareholders to extend the termination date from the Current Termination Date to the Extended Date.
If the
Extension Proposal is not approved at the General Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof and we do not consummate a business
combination by the Current Termination Date, assuming that the time to complete a business combination is not extended as provided in
the Articles, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more
than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to
the Company to pay income taxes, if any, (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then
Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the
right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject
to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, in
the case of paragraph (b) and (c), subject to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors
and in all cases, subject to the other requirements of applicable law.
YOU
ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AT THIS TIME. IF THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL IS APPROVED AND THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT
IS FILED AND YOU DO NOT ELECT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES NOW, YOU WILL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON THE BUSINESS COMBINATION WHEN IT
IS SUBMITTED TO SHAREHOLDERS AND THE RIGHT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN THE EVENT THE
BUSINESS COMBINATION IS APPROVED AND COMPLETED OR THE COMPANY HAS NOT CONSUMMATED A BUSINESS COMBINATION BY THE EXTENDED DATE.
| Q. | Why should I vote for the Extension Proposal? |
| A. | The Board believes shareholders will benefit from the Company’s
consummating the Proposed Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Proposal to extend the date by which the Company has to
complete the Proposed Business Combination. Approval of the Extension Proposal would give the Company additional time to complete the
Proposed Business Combination or a potential alternative initial business combination and would allow you as a shareholder the benefit
of voting for the Proposed Business Combination or a potential alternative initial business combination and remaining a shareholder in
the post-business combination company, if you desire. |
Accordingly, we believe that
the Extension Proposal is consistent with the spirit in which the Company offered its securities to the public in the IPO.
You will have redemption rights
in connection with the Extension Proposal.
| Q. | May I redeem my Public Shares in connection with the vote on
the Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal? |
A. | Yes. Under our Articles,
if the Extension Proposal is approved, each holder of a Public Share will be provided with
the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal
to their pro rate portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including
interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay our
income taxes, if any, (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided
by the number of Public Shares then in issue. Holders of Public Shares do not need to vote
against the Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal or be a holder of
record on the Record Date to exercise their redemption rights. |
If the Extension
Proposal is approved, with respect to holders’ right to redeem, the Company will remove from the Trust Account an amount (the
“Withdrawal Amount”) equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account relating to any Public
Shares redeemed by holders in connection with, the Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, and (ii) deliver to
the holders of such redeemed Public Shares their pro rata 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 the Proposed Business Combination or a potential
alternative initial 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 the Proposed Business Combination or a potential
alternative initial business combination.
| Q. | Why is the Company proposing the Adjournment Proposal? |
| A. | To allow the Company
more time to solicit additional proxies in favor of the Extension Proposal, in the event
the Company does not receive the requisite shareholder vote to approve the Extension Proposal
and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal or to otherwise adjourn the General Meeting if
the Board determines that it is in the best interests of the Company. Notwithstanding the
order of the resolutions on the notice to the General Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal may
be presented first to the shareholders if, based on the tabulated votes collected at the
time of the General Meeting, there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection
with, the approval of the Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal. |
| Q. | How do the Company’s executive officers, directors and
affiliates intend to vote their shares? |
| A. | All of the Company’s
shareholders as of immediately prior to our IPO (collectively, the “Initial Shareholders”),
including our directors and officers and the Sponsor, are expected to vote any Company ordinary
shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each (as described in the next paragraph) over which they
have voting control (including any Public Shares owned by them) in favor of the Extension
Proposal, the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal. |
Our Initial
Shareholders, including our Sponsor, our officers and directors and the representative in our initial public offering, are not entitled
to redeem such shares in connection with the Extension Proposal. On the Record Date, there were 12,095,500 Class A Ordinary Shares, $0.0001
par value (“Class A Shares” or “Public Shares”), and 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares (“Class
B Shares” and together with the Class A Shares - the “Ordinary Shares”), $0.0001 par value, for a total
of 14,970,500 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
The Company’s
initial shareholders did not beneficially own any Public Shares in the aggregate as of the Record Date but may choose to purchase Public
Shares in the open market and/or through negotiated private transactions after the date of this proxy statement. In the event that such
purchases do occur, the initial shareholders may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the
Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal and/or elected to redeem their shares. Any Public Shares so purchased will
be voted in favor of the Extension Proposal and the Ratification of Auditors Proposal.
| Q. | What vote is required to adopt the proposals? |
A.
Ratification
of Auditor Proposal. The Ratification of Auditor Proposal must be approved by an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands
law, being a resolution passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares and
Public Shares entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting of the Company.
Adjournment
Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal must be approved by an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being a resolution
passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares and Public Shares entitled
to vote, in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting of the Company.
| Q. | What if I do not want to approve the Extension Proposal, the
Ratification of Auditors Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal? |
| A. | If you do not want
to approve the Extension Proposal, the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, or the Adjournment
Proposal, you may abstain, not vote, or vote against each proposal. |
| Q. | Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the Trust
Account? |
| A. | Other than the extensions
until the Extended Date, as of the date of this proxy statement, we do not anticipate seeking
any further extension to consummate a business combination, although we may determine to
do so in the future, if necessary. |
| Q. | What happens if the Extension Proposal is not approved? |
| A. | If based on the tabulated vote there are insufficient votes
to approve the Extension Proposal, the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote as the first resolution in order to seek additional
time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Extension Proposal. If the Extension Proposal is not approved at the General Meeting,
even with an adjournment, the Company shall (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, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the
aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to
the Company to pay income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of Public
Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Shareholders’ rights as Shareholders (including the right
to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject
to the approval of the Company’s remaining Shareholders and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of sub-articles
(ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other
requirements of applicable law. At such time, the Private Warrants will expire and the Sponsor will receive nothing upon a liquidation
with respect to such Private Warrants, and the Private Warrants will be worthless. |
The amount
in the Trust Account (less approximately $2,875 representing the aggregate nominal par value of the shares issued in the IPO) under the
Companies Act will be treated as a share premium which is distributable under the Companies Act, provided that immediately following
the date on which the proposed distribution is proposed to be made, we are able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course
of business. If we are forced to liquidate the Trust Account, we anticipate that we would distribute to holders of the Public Shares
issued in the IPO (the “Public Shareholders”) the amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two
days prior to the distribution date (including any accrued interest). Prior to such distribution, we would be required to assess all
claims that may be potentially brought against us by our creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts,
as creditors take priority over our Public Shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. We cannot assure you that we will
properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our shareholders could potentially be liable for any
claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation.
Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist
us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that
they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will
not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.
The Initial
Shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to participate in any liquidation of our Trust Account or other assets with respect to
the 2,875,000 Class B Shares held or controlled by our Initial Shareholders prior to the IPO (sometimes referred to as the “insider
shares” or “Founder Shares”) and to vote their insider shares in favor of any dissolution and plan of distribution
which we submit to a vote of shareholders. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the insider shares.
| Q. | If the Extension Proposal is approved, what happens next? |
| A. | If the Extension
Proposal is approved, the Company will continue to attempt to consummate the Proposed Business
Combination until the Extended Date, or the earlier date on which the Board otherwise determines
in its sole discretion that it will not be able to consummate the Proposed Business Combination
by the Extended Date, and does not wish to seek an additional extension. |
If the
Extension Proposal is approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account, if any, will reduce the amount remaining
in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of Company shares held by the Company’s officers, directors and their
affiliates.
| Q. | Would I still be able to exercise my redemption rights in the
future if I vote against any subsequently proposed business combination? |
| A. | Unless you elect
to redeem your shares in connection with this shareholder vote to approve the Extension Proposal,
you will be able to vote on any subsequently proposed business combination when it is submitted
to Shareholders. If you disagree with the Proposed Business Combination, you will retain
your right to vote against it and/or redeem your Public Shares upon consummation of the Proposed
Business Combination in connection with the shareholder vote to approve such business combination,
subject to any limitations set forth in the Articles. |
| Q. | How do I change my vote? |
| A. | If
you have submitted a proxy to vote your shares and wish to change your vote, or revoke your
proxy, you may do so by delivering a later-dated, signed proxy card to Advantage Proxy, Inc.,
the Company’s proxy solicitor, _________________, Toll-Free: _______________ or Collect:
________________, Email:________________ prior to the commencement of the General Meeting. |
| A. | The Company’s
proxy solicitor, _________________ will be appointed as inspector of election for the meeting.
Votes will be counted by the inspector of election, who will separately count “FOR”
and “AGAINST” votes, abstentions, and broker non-votes. |
Extension
Proposal. The Extension Proposal must be approved by a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed
by the affirmative vote of a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares and Public
Shares entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting of the Company, of which notice specifying the intention to propose
the resolution as a special resolution has been duly given.
The
Ratification of Auditors Proposal. The Ratification of Auditors Proposal must be approved by an ordinary resolution, being a
resolution passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary
Shares and Public Shares entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting of the Company. Abstentions and broker non-votes
will not be considered votes cast on the Ratification of Auditors Proposal; however, the ratification of the selection by the Audit Committee
of the Board of Marcum LLP is a matter on which a broker, bank or other nominee has discretionary voting authority, and thus, it is not
expected that any broker non-votes will be received with respect to the Ratification of Auditors Proposal.
Adjournment
Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal must be approved by an ordinary resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being a resolution
passed by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the then issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares
and Public Shares, voting together as one class by such shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote, in person or by proxy, at a the
General Meeting of the Company.
Abstentions
and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have
no effect on the proposals. As a result, if you abstain from voting on any of the proposals, your shares will be counted as present for
purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with the terms of our Articles), but the abstention will have no effect
on the outcome of such proposal.
| Q. | If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank,
brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically vote my shares for me? |
| A. | No. If you are a
beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other
holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any
proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a proposal
is determined to be discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted
to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a proposal is
determined to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted
to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. The Company believes
that the Extension Proposal, the Ratification of Auditors Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal
will be considered non-discretionary and therefore your broker, bank or other holder of
record holding your shares for you cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any
of the proposals presented. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker
or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary
Proposal because the holder of record has not received voting instructions from the beneficial
owner. |
Abstentions
and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have
no effect on the Proposals. As a result, if you abstain from voting on any of the Proposals, your shares will be counted as present for
purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with the terms of the Articles), but the abstention will have no effect
on the outcome of such proposal.
| Q. | What will happen if I abstain from voting or fail to vote at
the General Meeting? |
| A. | At the General
Meeting, ALCY will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect
to a particular proposal as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
Abstentions will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals. |
If a shareholder
who holds share in “street name” does not give the broker voting instructions, the broker is not permitted under applicable
self-regulatory organization rules to vote the shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the Extension Proposal. These “broker
non-votes” will also count as present for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present and will have no effect on the outcome
of the vote on any of the Proposals.
| Q. | What will happen if I sign and return my proxy card without
indicating how I wish to vote? |
| A. | Signed and dated proxies received by
ALCY without an indication of how the shareholder intends to vote on a proposal will be voted
as recommended by the Board. |
| Q. | If I am not going to attend the General Meeting, should I return
my proxy card instead? |
| A. | Yes. Whether you
plan to attend the General Meeting virtually or not, please read the proxy statement carefully,
and vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card
in the postage-paid envelope provided. |
| Q. | May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card? |
| A. | Yes. You may change
your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the General Meeting. You may revoke your
proxy by executing and returning a proxy card dated later than the previous one, or by voting
again via the Internet, or by submitting a written revocation stating that you would like
to revoke your proxy that our proxy solicitor receives prior to the commencement of the General
Meeting. If you hold your Public Shares through a bank, brokerage firm or nominee, you should
follow the instructions of your bank, brokerage firm or nominee regarding
the revocation of proxies. If you are a record holder, you should send any notice of revocation or your completed new proxy card, as
the case may be, to: |
INFO - PROXY AGENT
Unless revoked, a proxy will
be voted at the General Meeting in accordance with the shareholder’s indicated instructions. In the absence of instructions, proxies
which have been signed and returned will be voted FOR each of the Proposals.
| Q. | What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials? |
| A. | You may receive
more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement
and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares
in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for
each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares
are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete,
sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order
to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares. |
| Q. | What is a quorum requirement? |
| A. | A quorum of Shareholders
is necessary to hold a valid meeting. One or more shareholders holding a majority of the
paid-up voting share capital of the Company present in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum. In the absence of a quorum, the General Meeting
will stand adjourned to the same day/time/place in the following week. As of the Record Date
for the General Meeting, Ordinary and/or Public Shares, in the aggregate, would be required
to achieve a quorum. |
Q. Who can vote at the
General Meeting?
| A. | Only holders of
record of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and Public Shares at the close of business
on ________________, 2024 are entitled to have their vote counted at the General Meeting
and any adjournments or postponements thereof. For the purposes of this Proxy Statement “holders
of record” means the persons entered in the register of members of the Company as the
holders of the relevant shares. On the Record Date, there were 12,095,500 Class A Shares
and 2,875,000 Class B Shares (also referred to as the “Founder Shares”),
issued and outstanding. The Company’s warrants do not have voting rights. Only holders
of record of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and Public Shares on the Record Date are
entitled to have their votes counted at the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. |
Shareholder
of Record: Shares Registered in Your Name. If on the Record Date your shares were registered directly in your name with the Company’s
transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, then you are a shareholder of record. As a shareholder of record, you
may vote in person (including virtually) at the General Meeting or vote by proxy. Whether or not you plan to attend the General Meeting
virtually, we urge you to fill out and return the enclosed proxy card to ensure your vote is counted.
Beneficial
Owner: Shares Registered in the Name of a Broker or Bank. If on the Record Date your shares were held, not in your name, but rather
in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street
name” and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by that organization. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct
your broker or other agent on how to vote the shares in your account. You are also invited to attend the General Meeting. However, since
you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote your shares in person at the General Meeting unless you request and obtain a
valid proxy from your broker or other agent.
| Q. | Does the Board recommend voting for the Extension Proposal,
the Ratification of Auditors Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal? |
| A. | Yes. The Board recommends that the Company’s
Shareholders vote “FOR” the Extension Proposal, “FOR” the Ratification
of Auditors Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. |
| Q. | What interests do the Company’s directors and officers
have in the approval of the Extension Proposal? |
| A. | The Company’s
directors, officers and their affiliates have interests in the Extension Proposal that may
be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include,
but are not limited to, beneficial ownership of insider shares and private warrants that
will become worthless if the Extension Proposal is not approved. See the section entitled
“Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers.” |
Q.
What if I object to the Extension Proposal? Do I have appraisal rights?
| A. | Company Shareholders
do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Extension Proposal or Ratification of
Auditors Proposal. |
| Q. | What do I need to do now? |
| A. | You are urged to
read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement and to consider
how the proposals will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible
in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed
proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on
the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee. |
| Q. | How do I redeem my Public Shares of the Company? |
| A. | In connection with
the General Meeting and the vote on the Extension Proposal, each Public Shareholder may seek
to redeem its Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to their pro rata
portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest
earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay our income
taxes, if any (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by
the number of Public Shares then in issue. Holders of Public Shares do not need to vote on
the Extension Proposal or be a holder of record on the Record Date to exercise redemption
rights. |
To demand
redemption, if you hold physical certificates for Public Shares, you must physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock
Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, One State Street
Plaza, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004, Attn: Mark Zimkind, E-mail: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com,
no later than two business days prior to the General Meeting (or ___________________, 2024). If you hold your Public Shares in “street
name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must deliver your shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company electronically
using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System two business days prior to the General Meeting
to demand redemption. You will only be entitled to receive cash in connection with a redemption of these shares if you continue to hold
them until the effective date of the Extension Amendment, if approved.
| Q. | Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies? |
| A. | ALCY will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the General
Meeting. ALCY has engaged ____________________ to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the General Meeting. ALCY has agreed to pay
___________________ a fee of $_, plus disbursements. ALCY will reimburse Advantage Proxy for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will
indemnify ____________________ and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities,
losses, damages and expenses. ALCY will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial

by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies. |
| Q. | Who can help answer my questions? |

BACKGROUND
The Company
The Company
is a blank check company incorporated in the Cayman Islands as an exempted company. We were incorporated for the purpose of effecting
a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one
or more businesses, which we refer to as our initial business combination.
On May
9, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 11,500,000 units (the “Units”), which included 1,500,000 Units issued
pursuant to the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, $0.0001
par value per share (the “Class A Shares”), and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Warrants”),
each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject
to adjustment. The Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $115,000,000. Substantially
concurrently with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale of an aggregate of 595,500 private placement shares
to Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC (the “Sponsor”) and the Underwriter at a purchase price of $1.00 per warrant, generating
gross proceeds of $5,955,000 (the “Private Placement”).
The net
proceeds from the IPO and certain of the proceeds from the Private Placement, $116,725,000 in aggregate, were placed in a trust account
established for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders and the Underwriter, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company acting as trustee.
Holders
of the Founder Shares have agreed to waive their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account in respect of
any Founder Shares held by it or them, as applicable, if the company fails to complete an initial business combination.
The Sponsor
has indicated that if the Extension Proposal is approved, the Sponsor will contribute $________, as a loan to the Company (each loan
being referred to herein as a “Contribution”) for the first three month extension, then $____ for each one-month extension
period after that, commencing on the 9th day of each subsequent month, (each such extension, an “Extension Period”),
until the earlier of (x) the date of the extraordinary general meeting held in connection with a shareholder vote to approve its initial
business combination; (y) the Extended Date and (z) the date that the board determines in its sole discretion to no longer seek an initial
business combination.
The mailing address of our principal
executive office is 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204-F, Newark, DE. Our telephone number is (212) 877-1588.
The Extension Proposal
THE EXTENSION
PROPOSAL
The Company
is proposing to amend its Articles (such amendment, the “Extension Amendment”) to: extend the time to complete the
Proposed Business Combination from November 9, 2024 (the “Current Termination Date”), until February 5, 2025 by depositing
$_________ into the Company’s Trust Account, and then, on a month-to-month basis, as determined by the Directors in their sole
discretion, until September 9, 2025 so long as the Sponsor places $_______ per month into the Company’s Trust Account, up to September
9, 2025 (the “Extended Date”), the date by which, if the Company has not consummated the Proposed Business Combination
the Company must: (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (b) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more
than ten business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the Class A ordinary shares of a par value of US$0.0001 each (the “Class A
Shares” or the “Public Shares”) issued in the Company’s initial public offering, at a per-share price,
payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the
Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay incomes taxes, if any, (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution
expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’
rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (c) as promptly as reasonably
possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board
of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of paragraph (b) and (c), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands
law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases, subject to the other requirements of applicable law. The Extension Proposal
is essential to the overall implementation of the Board’s plan to allow the Company more time to complete the Proposed Business
Combination. Approval of the Extension Proposal is a condition to the filing of the Extension Amendment. A copy of the Extension Amendment
to the Articles of the Company is attached to this proxy statement as Annex A.
The Company’s
sponsor, Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC, (the Sponsor”), has agreed to provide funds to the Company to extend the period of
time to consummate a business combination (the “Combination Period”) until February 5, 2025 by depositing $_________
for a three-month extension, and then, on a month-to-month basis, as determined by the Directors in their sole discretion, until September
9, 2025 by depositing into the Company’s Trust Account $_____ for each subsequent one month extension by the 9th day of each subsequent
month, (each such extension, an “Extension Period”). As of the date of this proxy statement, the Company has until
November 9, 2024 (the ”Current Termination Date”) to complete its Proposed Business Combination.
If the
Extension Proposal is approved, the Combination Period will be extended until February 5, 2025 by depositing $_________ into the Trust
Account, and then, on a month-to-month basis until the Extended Date, so long as the Sponsor deposits $__________ into the Trust Account
for each subsequent Extension Period, until September 9, 2025. The Company intends to deposit each contribution in the Trust Account
within three business days of the beginning of the Extension Period which such Contribution relates to. The Sponsor will not make any
Contribution unless the Extension Proposal is approved. The Contributions will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation
of the Proposed Business Combination. The Company’s board of directors will have the sole discretion to extend the timeline to
consummate the Proposed Business Combination for any additional Extension Period, up to September 9, 2025. If the board of directors
determines not to extend the timeline to consummate the Proposed Business Combination by an additional Extension Period, the additional
Contributions will terminate. If the board of directors determines not to extend the timeline to consummate the Proposed Business Combination
by an additional Extension Period, the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and as promptly as reasonably
possible, but not more than ten business days after the Current Termination Date, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares in accordance
with the procedures set forth in the Articles.
The Contribution
will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to Sponsor, or its affiliates or designees, upon consummation of the
Proposed Business Combination. The loans will be forgiven if the Company is unable to consummate the Proposed Business Combination except
to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. If the Company’s board of directors determines that the Company will
not be able to consummate the Proposed Business Combination by the Extended Date, the Company will cease all operations except for the
purpose of winding up and as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days after the Current Termination Date,
redeem 100% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Articles in the event the
Extension Proposal are not approved.
All holders
of the Company’s Public Shares, whether they vote for or against the Extension Proposal or do not vote at all, will be permitted
to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to their pro rata portion of the aggregate
amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company
to pay our income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of Public Shares
then in issue, provided that the Extension Proposal is approved. Holders of Public Shares do not need to be a holder of record on the
Record Date in order to exercise redemption rights.
The per-share
price equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously
released to the Company to pay our income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the
number of Public Shares then in issue was approximately $___ per Public Share. The closing price of the Company’s Public Shares
on ________________, 2024 was $_________. The Company cannot assure Shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares 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 Shareholders wish to sell their shares.
Reasons for the Extension
Proposal
The purpose
of the Extension Proposal is to allow the Company more time to consummate the Proposed Business Combination. The Company’s IPO
prospectus and the Articles provide that the Company has until the Current Termination Date to complete a business combination. While
the Company is negotiating the terms to enter into a definitive business combination agreement, our board of directors currently believes
that there will not be sufficient time before the Current Termination Date to complete the Proposed Business Combination and hold a general
meeting at which to conduct a vote for shareholder approval of the Proposed Business Combination. Accordingly, our board of directors
has determined it is in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders to extend the termination date from the Current Termination
Date to the Extended Date.
If the Extension Proposal
Is Not Approved
If based
on the tabulated vote there are insufficient votes to approve the Extension Proposal, the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to
a vote as the first resolution in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Extension Proposal. If the
Extension Proposal is not approved, the Company shall (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, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash,
equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the Trust Account and not previously
released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any, (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number
of Public Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Shareholders’ rights as Shareholders (including
the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption,
subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Shareholders and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case
of sub-articles (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject
to the other requirements of applicable law. At such time, the Private Warrants will expire and the Sponsor will receive nothing upon
a liquidation with respect to such Private Warrants, and the Private Warrants will be worthless.
The amount
in the Trust Account (less approximately $2,875 representing the aggregate nominal par value of the shares issued in the IPO) under the
Companies Act will be treated as a share premium which is distributable under the Companies Act, provided that immediately following
the date on which the proposed distribution is proposed to be made, we are able to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course
of business. If we are forced to liquidate the Trust Account, we anticipate that we would distribute to holders of the Public Shares
issued in the IPO (the “Public Shareholders”) the amount in the Trust Account calculated as of the date that is two
days prior to the distribution date (including any accrued interest). Prior to such distribution, we would be required to assess all
claims that may be potentially brought against us by our creditors for amounts they are actually owed and make provision for such amounts,
as creditors take priority over our Public Shareholders with respect to amounts that are owed to them. We cannot assure you that we will
properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against us. As such, our shareholders could potentially be liable for any
claims of creditors to the extent of distributions received by them as an unlawful payment in the event we enter an insolvent liquidation.
Furthermore, while we will seek to have all vendors and service providers (which would include any third parties we engaged to assist
us in any way in connection with our search for a target business) and prospective target businesses execute agreements with us waiving
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that
they will execute such agreements. Nor is there any guarantee that, even if such entities execute such agreements with us, they will
not seek recourse against the Trust Account or that a court would conclude that such agreements are legally enforceable.
Our Initial
Shareholders, including our Sponsor, our officers and directors and the representative in our initial public offering, have agreed to
waive their rights to participate in any liquidation of our Trust Account or other assets with respect to the insider shares and to vote
their insider shares in favor of any dissolution and plan of distribution which we submit to a vote of shareholders. There will be no
distribution from the Trust Account with respect to our private warrants, which will expire worthless.
If the Extension Proposal
is Approved
If the
Extension Proposal is approved, the Company will file the special resolution (the “Extension Amendment”) with the
Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands in the form of Annex A hereto which extends the time it has to complete a business
combination until the Extended Date. The Company will continue to attempt to consummate the Proposed Business Combination until the Extended
Date, or until the Board determines in its sole discretion that it will not be able to consummate the Proposed Business Combination or
a potential alternative business combination and does not wish to seek an additional extension. The Company will remain a reporting company
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and its Public Shares will remain publicly traded during the extension period.
YOU ARE NOT BEING ASKED TO VOTE ON ANY
BUSINESS COMBINATION AT THIS TIME. IF THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL IS APPROVED AND THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT IS FILED AND YOU DO NOT ELECT
TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES NOW, YOU WILL RETAIN THE RIGHT TO VOTE ON ANY PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION WHEN AND IF IT IS SUBMITTED
TO SHAREHOLDERS AND THE RIGHT TO REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE TRUST ACCOUNT IN THE EVENT THE PROPOSED
BUSINESS COMBINATION IS APPROVED AND COMPLETED.
Redemption Rights
If the
Extension Proposal is approved, and the Extension Amendment is filed, each Public Shareholder may seek to redeem its Public Shares for
a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, less any taxes we anticipate will be owed, but have not yet been paid,
calculated as of two business days prior to the meeting. Holders of Public Shares do not need to vote on the Extension Proposal or be
a holder of record on the Record Date to exercise redemption rights.
If the
Extension Proposal is approved, the Company will (i) remove from the Trust Account an amount (the “Withdrawal Amount”)
equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account relating to any Public Shares redeemed by holders in connection
with the Extension Proposal, if any, and (ii) deliver to the holders of such redeemed Public Shares their pro rata 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 is approved and the Extension
Amendment is filed.
If the
Extension Proposal is approved, the removal of the Withdrawal Amount from the Trust Account, if any, will reduce the Company’s
net asset value. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account if the Extension Proposal is approved, and
the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $________________ that was in the Trust Account
as of __________________, 2024.
TO DEMAND
REDEMPTION, IF YOU HOLD PHYSICAL CERTIFICATES FOR ORDINARY SHARES, YOU MUST PHYSICALLY TENDER YOUR SHARE CERTIFICATES TO CONTINENTAL
STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, THE COMPANY’S TRANSFER AGENT, AT CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY, ONE STATE
STREET PLAZA, 30TH FLOOR, NEW YORK, NY 10004, ATTN: MARK ZIMKIND, E-MAIL: SPACREDEMPTIONS@CONTINENTALSTOCK.COM,
NO LATER THAN TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE GENERAL MEETING. IF YOU HOLD YOUR ORDINARY SHARES IN “STREET NAME” THROUGH A
BANK, BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE, YOU MUST DELIVER YOUR SHARES TO CONTINENTAL STOCK TRANSFER & TRUST COMPANY ELECTRONICALLY USING THE
DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT/ WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE GENERAL MEETING TO DEMAND
REDEMPTION.
The requirement
for physical or electronic delivery prior to the vote at the General Meeting ensures that a redeeming holder’s election is irrevocable
once the Extension Proposal is approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, Shareholders making the election will not be able
to tender their shares after the vote at the General Meeting.
The electronic
delivery process through the DWAC system can be accomplished by the shareholder, 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 share certificate, a shareholder’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 a nominal amount and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on
to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders 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 share
certificate. Such Shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those Shareholders that deliver their shares
through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical share 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 the vote for the Extension Proposal will not be redeemed into
a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. In the event that a Public Shareholder tenders its shares and decides prior
to the vote at the General Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered
your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the General Meeting not to redeem your 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 prior to the vote at the General Meeting. In the event that a Public Shareholder tenders shares, and
the Extension Proposal is not approved or is abandoned, these shares will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Articles promptly
following the meeting, as described elsewhere herein. The Company anticipates that a Public Shareholder 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 filing of the Extension Proposal. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of Public Shareholders that make the election until
such shares are redeemed for cash or redeemed in connection with our winding up.
The per-share
pro rata portion of the Trust Account on __________, 2024 after taking into account taxes owed but not paid by such date (which is expected
to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the General Meeting) was approximately $_____ per Public Share. The closing
price of the Ordinary Shares on ___________, 2024 was $____. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their
Public Shares 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 shareholders wish to sell their shares.
If you
exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Public Shares 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 by tendering your share certificate(s) to the Company’s
transfer agent prior to the vote for the Extension Proposal. If the Extension Proposal is not approved or if it is abandoned, these shares
will be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Articles promptly following the meeting as described elsewhere herein.
Required Vote
The Extension
Proposal must be approved by a special resolution as a matter of Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by the affirmative vote
of a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares and Public Shares entitled to vote,
in person or by proxy, at the General Meeting of the Company, of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a
special resolution has been duly given. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a
quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Extension Proposal. As a result, if you abstain from voting on the
Extension Proposal, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with the
terms of our Articles), but the abstention will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.
RISK
FACTORS
You
should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and in
the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events
occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In
that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties
described in the aforementioned filings and below are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware
of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition
and operating results or result in our liquidation.
We
may not be able to complete the Proposed Business Combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may
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), or ultimately prohibited.
ALCY’s
sponsor, Alchemy DeepTech Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, is controlled by US persons and ALCY’s Chairman, Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are also US persons. ALCY has [*] independent directors that reside outside the United
States, however, we do not anticipate that any of them will be affiliated with the company upon completion of a business combination.
In addition, the Target for the Business Combination is a US company with US management. For these reasons, we believe that ALCY should
not be considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and should not be considered as such in
the future. However, the Proposed 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 ALCY’s
potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, ALCY may determine that it is required
to make a mandatory filing or that it 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
ALCY’s initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business
combination or order ALCY 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 ALCY from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that it believes
would otherwise be beneficial to ALCY and its shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which ALCY could complete
the Proposed Business Combination may be limited and it 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 ALCY has limited time to complete its initial
business combination. If ALCY cannot complete its initial business combination by November 9, 2024 (a later date if ALCY extends the
timeline to complete its initial business combination) because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because ALCY’s
initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, ALCY may be required to liquidate.
If ALCY liquidates, based on the Trust Account balance as of _____________, 2024, ALCY’s public shareholders may only receive approximately
$________ per Ordinary Share, and the warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause shareholders to lose the investment opportunity
in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on their investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
Risks Related to
Being Deemed an Investment Company
If we were deemed to be an investment
company for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), we may be forced to
abandon our efforts to complete the Proposed Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate the Company.
There is
currently uncertainty concerning the applicability of the Investment Company Act to a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”)
and we may in the future be subject to a claim that we have been operating as an unregistered investment company. If we are deemed to
be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we might be forced to abandon our efforts to complete the Proposed
Business Combination and instead be required to liquidate. If we are required to liquidate, our investors would not be able to realize
the benefits of owning stock in a successor operating business, including the potential appreciation in the value of our stock and warrants
following such a transaction, and our warrants would expire worthless.
The longer
that the funds in the trust account are held in short-term U.S. government securities or in money market funds invested exclusively in
such securities, the greater the risk that we may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required
to liquidate.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR”
THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL.
PROPOSAL
2-
THE
RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS PROPOSAL
The
Audit Committee of the Board has selected and approved of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) as the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Marcum has served as the Company’s independent
registered public accounting firm since 2022.
In the event the stockholders
fail to ratify the selection of Marcum, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain the firm. Even if the selection
is ratified, the audit committee and the Board of Directors in their discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent
accounting firm at any time during the year if they determine that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its
stockholders.
Services and Fees of
Independent Auditors
The following is a summary of fees paid or to
be paid to Marcum for services rendered.
Audit
Fees. Audit fees consist of fees for professional services rendered for the audit of our year-end financial statements
and services that are normally provided by Marcum in connection with regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed by Marcum for professional
services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements and review of the financial information included in our Registration
Statement on Form S-1 and subsequent reports after the IPO totaled $163,713.35, all of which has been paid in 2023. $55,563.36 has
been paid before the IPO and $108,149.99 post IPO.
Audit-Related
Fees. Audit-related fees consist of fees billed for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to performance
of the audit or review of our financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees.” These services include attest
services that are not required by statute or regulation and consultations concerning financial accounting and reporting standards. During
the year ended December 31, 2023 we did not incur any audit-related fees payable to Marcum,
Tax
Fees. We did not pay Marcum for tax fees for the year ended December 31, 2023.
All
Other Fees. We did not pay Marcum for any other services for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Pre-Approval
Policy
Our
audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our initial public offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve
all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board
of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve
all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject
to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to
the completion of the audit).
Consequences
if the Auditor Ratification Proposal is Not Approved
Neither
the Articles nor other governing documents or law require shareholder ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as the independent
registered public accounting firm; however, the Audit Committee of the Board is submitting the selection of Marcum LLP to the shareholders
for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee of the
Board will reconsider whether or not to retain Marcum LLP. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee of the Board in its
discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the
Audit Committee of the Board determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.
Required
Vote
The
Auditor Ratification Proposal will be approved and adopted by ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by the affirmative vote
of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares and Public Shares entitled to vote, in person or by proxy,
at the General Meeting of the Company. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a
quorum, are not treated as votes cast and will have no effect on the Proposals. As a result, if you abstain from voting on the Auditor
Ratification Proposal, your shares will be counted as present for purposes of establishing a quorum (if so present in accordance with
the terms of our Articles), but the abstention will have no effect on the outcome of such proposal.

Interests of the Company’s
Directors and Officers
When you
consider the recommendation of the Board, you should keep in mind that the Company’s executive officers and members of the Board
have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:
| • | If the Proposed
Business Combination is not completed by November 9, 2024 (unless such date is extended as
provided in the Articles), ALCY will be required to liquidate and dissolve. In such event,
2,875,000 Class B Shares held by the Initial Shareholders which were acquired prior to the
IPO for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, will be worthless because the Initial Shareholders
and the Sponsor have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. Such
shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $_______________ based on the closing
price of the Public Shares of $10.___ on Nasdaq as of ______________, 2024. |
| • | If the Proposed
Business Combination is not completed by November 9, 2024 (unless such date is extended as
provided in the Articles), 595,500 Private Warrants purchased by the Initial Shareholders
for a total purchase price of $5,955,000, will be worthless. Such Private Warrants had an
aggregate market value of approximately $_______ based on the closing price of the Public
Warrants of $0.0___ on Nasdaq as of _______________, 2024. |
| • | If the Proposed
Business Combination is not completed by November 9, 2024 (unless such date is extended as
provided in the Articles), the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances described
herein to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of
target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by ALCY for
services rendered or contracted for or products sold to ALCY. |
| • | The Sponsor and
ALCY’s officers and directors and their affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on ALCY’s
behalf, such as identifying and investigating possible business targets and business combinations.
However, if the proposed Business Combination is not completed by November 9, 2024 (unless
such date is extended as provided in the Articles), they will not have any claim against
the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, ALCY may not be able to reimburse these
expenses if the Proposed Business Combination or another business combination is not completed
within the allotted time period. As of the record date, the Sponsor and ALCY’s officers
and directors and their affiliates had incurred approximately $____ of unpaid reimbursable
expenses. |
| • | ALCY’s officers
and directors (or their affiliates) may make loans from time to time to ALCY to fund certain
capital requirements. As of the date of this proxy statement, no such loans have been made,
but loans may be made after the date of this proxy statement. If the Business Combination
is not consummated, the loans will not be repaid and will be forgiven except to the extent
there are funds available to ALCY outside of the Trust Account. In the event that the Proposed
Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside
the Trust Account to repay the loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used
to repay the Working Capital Loans. All unpaid amounts would be forfeited. |
Additionally,
if the Extension Proposal is approved and the Company consummates the Proposed Business Combination, the officers and directors may have
additional interests that would be described in the proxy statement for such transaction.
Board Recommendation
THE
BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE EXTENSION PROPOSAL, “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF AUDITORS PROPOSAL
AND “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL. THE BOARD EXPRESSES NO OPINION AS TO WHETHER YOU SHOULD REDEEM YOUR PUBLIC SHARES.

sponsor, executive officers and directors are deemed to be our “promoters” as such term is defined under the federal securities
laws.
Our initial
shareholders beneficially own approximately 23% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares and have the right to elect all of our
directors prior to our initial business combination as a result of holding all of the founder shares. Holders of our public shares will
not have the right to appoint any directors to our board of directors prior to our initial business combination. In addition, because
of their ownership block, our initial shareholders may be able to effectively influence the outcome of all other matters requiring approval
by our shareholders, including amendments to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approval of significant
corporate transactions.
Subject
to certain limited exceptions, our Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell their insider shares until six months
after the date of the consummation of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial business combination,
we consummate a subsequent liquidation, merger, stock exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of our shareholders
having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.
During
the lock-up period, the holders of these shares will not be able to sell or transfer their securities except: (a) to our directors or
officers, any affiliates or family members of any of our directors or officers, any members of our sponsor, or any affiliates of our
sponsor, (b) in the case of an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary
of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person, or to a charitable organization; (c)
in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual; (d) in the case of a trust,
by distribution to one or more of the permissible beneficiaries of such trust; (e) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified
domestic relations order; (f) by private sales or transfers made in connection with the consummation of a business combination at prices
no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased; (g) in the event of our liquidation prior to our completion
of our initial business combination; (h) by virtue of the laws of its jurisdiction or its organizational documents or operating agreement;
or (i) in the event of our completion of a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results
in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent
to our completion of our initial business combination; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a) through (f) these permitted
transferees must enter into a written agreement agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. If we are unable to effect a business
combination and liquidate, there will be no liquidation distribution with respect to the insider shares.
