Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer. |
Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement between the Issuer and
Sponsor
On January 18, 2023, simultaneously with the
consummation of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased 637,500 Private Placement Units pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Private Placement
Units and the securities underlying such Private Placement Units are subject to a lock up provision in the Purchase Agreement or Insider
Letter (described below), which provides that such securities shall not be transferable, saleable or assignable until 30 days after the
consummation of the Issuer’s initial business combination, subject to certain limited exceptions as described in the Insider Letter.
The description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.4 to the
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 19,
2023 (and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit 10.1).
Insider Letter
On January 12, 2023, in connection with the
IPO, the Issuer, the Sponsor, and certain other parties thereto entered into a letter agreement (the “Insider Letter”). Pursuant
to the Insider Letter, the parties agreed (A) to vote the Founder Shares, any Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Units
and any public shares in favor of any proposed business combination, (B) not to propose an amendment to the Issuer’s Amended
and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would modify the substance or timing of the Issuer’s obligation to redeem
the public shares if the Issuer does not consummate a business combination within 12 months from the completion of the IPO (or up to
18 months if the Company extends the period of time to consummate its initial business combination in accordance with the terms described
in the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-263658), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 17, 2022 and as amended from time to time), unless the Issuer provides the holders of public shares with the opportunity
to redeem such shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount
then on deposit in the Issuer’s trust account set up in connection with the IPO (the “Trust Account”), (C) not
to redeem any Founder Shares and any shares underlying the Private Placement Units into the right to receive cash from the Trust Account
in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Issuer’s proposed initial business combination or a vote to amend the provisions
of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-business combination
activity and (D) that the Founder Shares and any Ordinary Shares underlying the Private Placement Units shall not participate in
any liquidating distribution upon winding up if a business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor also agreed that in the event
of the liquidation of the Trust Account of the Issuer (as defined in the Insider Letter), it will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer
against any and all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever which the Issuer may become subject to as a result of any
claim by any vendor or other person who is owed money by the Issuer for services rendered or products sold to or contracted for the Issuer,
or by any target business with which the Issuer has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, but only to the extent necessary
to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense does not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account; provided that
such indemnity shall not apply if such vendor or prospective target business executes an agreement waiving any claims against the Trust
Account.
The description of the Insider Letter is qualified
in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer as Exhibit 10.1 to the
Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 19, 2023 (and is incorporated by reference herein
as Exhibit 10.2).
Registration Rights Agreement
In January 2023, in connection with the IPO,
the Issuer and the Sponsor entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which the Sponsor was granted certain demand and
“piggyback” registration rights, which will be subject to customary conditions and limitations, including the right of the
underwriters of an offering to limit the number of shares offered.
The summary of such registration rights agreement
contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which was filed by the Issuer
as Exhibit 10.3 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer with the SEC on January 19, 2023 (and is incorporated
by reference herein as Exhibit 10.3).
