In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 2,713,143 Class A Ordinary Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.92 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $29.6 million (the “2024 Redemptions”).
