On

held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extension EGM”), where the shareholders of the Company approved, among others,
the Company to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement dated November 14, 2024 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between
the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”) to provide that the Trustee must commence liquidation
of the Company’s trust account (the “Trust Account”) only and promptly after its receipt of the applicable instruction
letter delivered by the Company in connection with either a closing of an initial business combination or the Company’s inability
to effect an initial business combination by February 18, 2026, or up to February 18, 2027, if extended by depositing per month the lesser
of (i) $50,000 for all remaining public shares and (ii) $0.033 for each remaining public share in the Trust Account. Upon the shareholders’
approval, on February 17, 2026, the Company and the Trustee entered into the amendment to the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Amendment”).

asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company with one or more businesses,
or (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete such business combination and redeem or repurchase
100% of the Company’s public shares included as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering that was
consummated on November 18, 2024, by February 18, 2026 (the “Termination Date”), and if the Company does not consummate a
business combination by February 18, 2026, the Termination Date may be extended up to twelve times, each by an additional one-month extension,
for a total of up to twelve months to February 18, 2027, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders
(such amendment to the Current MAA, the “MAA Amendment”).

Extraordinary
General Meeting to Approve the Business Combination
On
February 12, 2026, HPST held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Business Combination EGM”) in connection with the Business
Combination (as defined below) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated May 9, 2025 (as amended, supplemented,
or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among SL Science Holding Limited,
a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“PubCo”), HSPT, CW Mega Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited
by shares (“Merger Sub I”), WW Century Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Merger Sub II”),
and SL BIO Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SL Bio”), pursuant to which, among other things, (i) Merger
Sub I will merge with and into HSPT, with HSPT as the surviving entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “First
Merger”), and (ii) following the First Merger, Merger Sub II will merge with and into SL Bio, with SL Bio as the surviving
entity and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger,” and together with the First Merger and the other
transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”).
The
Business Combination is described in the definitive proxy statement filed by HSPT (as amended, restated or supplemented, the “Business
Combination Proxy Statement”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 13, 2026.
On December 29, 2025, the record date for the Business Combination EGM, there were 9,080,000 ordinary shares of HSPT entitled to be voted
at the Business Combination EGM, approximately 68.26% of which were represented in person or by proxy at the Business Combination EGM.
The
final results for each of the matters submitted to a vote of HSPT’s shareholders at the Business Combination EGM, each of which
is described in detail in the Business Combination Proxy Statement, are as follows. The adjournment proposal described in the Business
Combination Proxy Statement was not presented at the Business Combination EGM because there were enough votes to approve the other proposals
presented at the Business Combination EGM.

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements
are statements that are not historical facts and may be accompanied by words that convey projected future events or outcomes, such as
“believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,”
“design,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,”
“seek,” “target,” “aim,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “should,”
“would,” or variations of such words or by expressions of similar meaning. Such forward-looking statements, including statements
regarding the advantages and expected growth of the combined company, the cash position of the combined company following the closing,
the ability of HSPT and SL Bio to consummate the proposed Business Combination and the timing of such consummation, are subject to risks
and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include,
but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in HSPT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), HSPT’s final prospectus dated November 14, 2024
filed with the SEC (the “Final Prospectus”) related to its initial public offering, the Business Combination Proxy Statement,
the Extension Proxy Statement and in other documents filed by HSPT with the SEC from time to time. Important factors that could cause
the combined company’s actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include:
SL Bio’s or the combined company’s limited operating history; the ability of SL Bio or the combined company to identify and
integrate acquisitions; general economic and market conditions impacting demand for the products of SL Bio or the combined company; the
inability to complete the proposed Business Combination; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business
Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of cash available following any redemptions by HSPT’s shareholders;
the ability to meet stock exchange’s listing standards following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; costs related
to the proposed Business Combination; and such other risks and uncertainties as are discussed in the Form 10-K, the Final Prospectus
and Business Combination Proxy Statement, the Extension Proxy Statement and the amendments and supplements thereto. Other factors include
the possibility that the proposed Business Combination do not close, including due to the failure to receive required security holder
approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions.
SL
Bio, PubCo and HSPT each expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statements contained herein to reflect any change in the expectations of SL Bio, PubCo or HSPT with respect thereto or any change in
events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.
