As
a result of the Business Combination, each share of common stock of Legacy Oklo automatically converted into the right to receive (a) cash,
(b) shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer, on a 1-to-6.062 basis, with a $10.00 value ascribed to each such share and
(c) the right to receive Earnout Shares (as defined below).
Certain Legacy Oklo equityholders, including the
Reporting Persons, will have the right to receive additional equity consideration (in each case, in accordance with their respective
pro rata share) in the form of shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Earnout Shares”) upon the satisfaction of certain
price targets, which will be based upon (A) the closing sale price of one share of Class A Common Stock for any 20 trading
days within any 60 consecutive trading day period within the five-year period following the Closing Date or (B) if the Issuer undergoes
a Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the price per share received by stockholders of the Issuer in such Change in
Control transaction.
Registration Rights Agreement
On the Closing Date, the Issuer and certain investors
of the Issuer, including the Reporting Persons, entered into an amended registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a registration statement registering the resale of certain securities held by or issuable to
the holders within 30 business days after the Closing Date (the “Resale Registration Statement”) and (ii) cause the
Resale Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof. In certain circumstances,
the holders may demand in the aggregate up to five underwritten offerings and will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights.
The Issuer will be responsible for certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the stockholders against certain liabilities.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement,
(i) the holders will agree not to transfer their respective shares of Class A Common Stock for a period of 180 days following
the Closing Date and (ii) key members of the Issuer’s management team and key stockholders (collectively, the “Insiders”),
including the Reporting Persons, will agree not to transfer (a) 40% of such Insider’s shares of Class A Common Stock
for a period of 12 months after the Closing Date, unless the closing share price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00
per share for 20 trading days within any 60 consecutive trading day period commencing after the Closing Date, (b) 30% of such Insider’s
shares for a period of 24 months after the Closing Date, unless the closing share price of the Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds
$14.00 per share for 20 trading days within any 60 consecutive trading day period commencing after the Closing Date and (c) 30%
of such Insider’s shares for a period of 36 months after the Closing Date, unless the closing share price of the Class A Common
Stock equals or exceeds $16.00 per share for 20 trading days within any 60 consecutive trading day period commencing after the Closing
Date (collectively, the “Lock-Up”).

General
The Reporting Persons acquired
the securities described in this Schedule 13D in connection with the closing of the Business Combination and intend to review their investments
in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time
without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to:
an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s
securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities;
and other future developments.
Subject to the Lock-Up, the Reporting Persons
may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or
in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons, including Mr. DeWitte in his capacity as Chief Executive
Officer and a director of the Issuer and Ms. Cochran in her capacity as Chief Operating Officer and a director of the Issuer, may
engage in discussions with management, the Board, other securityholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties, or encourage, cause
or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization
or other transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Class A Common Stock; security offerings and/or
stock repurchases by the Issuer; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the
Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition
of the Board.
To facilitate their consideration of such matters,
the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other
third parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar
agreements. The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of
various possible courses of action before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.
Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons
do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of
Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different
plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
