These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, (1) statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial, performance and operational metrics and projections of market opportunity; (2) references with respect to the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination and the projected future financial performance of Electra following the proposed Business Combination; (3) changes in the market for Electra’s services and technology, expansion plans and opportunities; (4) Electra’s unit economics; (5) the sources and uses of cash in connection with the proposed Business Combination; (6) the anticipated capitalization and enterprise value of IRHO following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (7) the projected technological developments of Electra; (8) current and future potential commercial and customer relationships; (9) the ability to operate efficiently at scale; (10) anticipated investments in capital resources and research and development, and the effect of these investments; (11) the amount of redemption requests made by IRHO’ public shareholders; (12) the ability of Electra to issue equity or equity-linked securities in the future; (13) the failure to achieve the minimum cash at closing requirements; (14) the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the combined company’s common stock on Nasdaq following the Proposed Business Combination, including but not limited to redemptions exceeding anticipated levels or the failure to meet Nasdaq's initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; and (15) expectations related to the terms and timing of the proposed Business Combination. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this release, and on the current expectations of IRHO’s and Electra’s management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of IRHO and Electra. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the IRHO Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2025, which was filed with the SEC on February 13, 2026, and/or will be contained in the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus when available, and in those other documents that IRHO has filed, or will file, with the SEC. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements.

IRHO and Electra anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause IRHO and Electra’s assessments to change. However, while IRHO and Electra may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, IRHO and Electra specifically disclaim any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing IRHO’s and Electra’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
