company (“PubCo”), and IPCV Merger Sub Limited, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Merger Sub”),
entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement,” and each of SPAC, the Company,
PubCo and Merger Sub, a “Party”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred
to herein as the “Transactions.” Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Current
Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) have the respective meanings given to them in the Business Combination Agreement.

Pursuant to terms of the Business
Combination Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein: (a) SPAC will merge with and into PubCo, as a result
of which the separate corporate existence of SPAC will cease and PubCo will continue as the surviving company (the “First Merger”
and the time of the First Merger, the “First Merger Effective Time”), and (b) at least one Business Day after the First
Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, as a result of which the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease
and the Company will continue as the surviving company and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PubCo (the “Second Merger”
and the time of the Second Merger, the “Second Merger Effective Time”).
The Business Combination Agreement
and the transactions contemplated thereby were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of SPAC, the Company, PubCo and
Merger Sub, and by the sole shareholder of each of PubCo and Merger Sub. The closing of the Transactions is targeted to be consummated
in the first quarter of 2026, after receipt of the required approval by the shareholders of SPAC (the “SPAC Shareholder Approval”),
the required approval of the shareholders of the Company (the “Company Shareholder Approval”) and the fulfilment of
certain other terms and conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.
Conversion of Securities
One day prior to the date
of the First Merger:
| ● | each unit of SPAC (“SPAC Unit”) that is issued and outstanding will be automatically detached into one (1) Class
A ordinary share, par value $0.0001, of the SPAC (a “SPAC Class A Ordinary Share”) and one right entitling the holder
to one-fifth of one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share upon the completion of the SPAC’s initial business combination (a “SPAC
Right”) (the separation of the SPAC Units into SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Rights, the “Unit Separation”); |
| ● | each Class B Ordinary Share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the SPAC (each, a “SPAC Class B
Ordinary Share” and together with the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, the “SPAC Shares”) that is issued and
outstanding will be automatically converted into one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share (the “SPAC Class B Conversion”);
and |
| ● | each SPAC Right that is issued and outstanding will be automatically exchanged for one-fifth of one SPAC
Class A Ordinary Share, with all fractional shares rounded down. |
At the First Merger Effective
Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of any party or the holders of securities of SPAC or PubCo, after
giving effect to the Unit Separation, the SPAC Class B Conversion, and the exchange of the SPAC Rights pursuant to their terms:
| ● | the SPAC will effect the redemption of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued as part of the SPAC Units
issued in the SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) that are validly submitted for redemption
and not withdrawn (the “Redemptions”); |
| ● | each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share (other than any treasury shares, dissenting shares and Public Shares
validly submitted for redemption and not withdrawn), which is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time,
will be converted into the right to receive one (1) ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (each, a “PubCo Ordinary
Share”); and |
| ● | each PubCo Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective
Time, all of which will be standing in the name of the sole shareholder of PubCo (the “PubCo Sole Shareholder”) in the
register of members of PubCo, will be irrevocably surrendered by the PubCo Sole Shareholder to PubCo for cancellation and for consideration
equal to the subscription price (if any) that the PubCo Sole Shareholder paid for such PubCo Ordinary Share. |
At the Second Merger Effective
Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of any party or the holders of securities of the Company or PubCo:
|
● |
each ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (each, a “Company Ordinary Share”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares equal to (i) that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares determined by dividing (x) $300,000,000 by (y) the price at which each Public Share may be redeemed, subject to a cap of $10.50 per share (the “Redemption Price”) (the quotient obtained from dividing (x) by (y), the “Company Consideration Shares”); divided by (ii) the total number of Company Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time (the quotient obtained from dividing (i) and (ii), the “Exchange Ratio”); |
|
● |
each series A redeemable preference share of $0.0001 of the Company
(each, a “Company Series A Preferred Share”, and a holder of such shares, a “Company Series A Preferred Shareholder”)
that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a number

of (x) the aggregate amount, including any nominal value and any premium, paid or deemed to be paid to the Company by or on behalf of
the applicable Company Series A Preferred Shareholder in connection with the issuance of such Company Series A Preferred Share, and (y)
any unpaid arrears of dividends or other amounts payable (including PIK dividends) in respect of such Company Series A Preferred Share
(the aggregate sum of (x) and (y), the “Accrued Value”), divided by (ii) the Redemption Price; |
|
● |
each warrant to purchase Company Ordinary Shares (each, a “Company Warrant”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive a warrant exercisable for a number of PubCo Ordinary Shares (each, a “PubCo Series A Investor Warrant”) equal to (x) the number of Company Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Pre-Funded PIPE Investor’s or PIPE Investor’s (each as defined below) Company Series A Preferred Shares upon a hypothetical conversion of such Company Series A Preferred Shares immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio; |
|
● |
each Company Ordinary Share subject to vesting, forfeiture, or other
restrictions (each, a “Company Restricted Share”) that is outstanding and unvested immediately prior to the Second
Merger Effective Time will automatically be assumed and converted into one PubCo Ordinary Share subject to vesting, forfeiture, or other
restrictions (each, a “PubCo Restricted Share”) on the same terms and conditions as are in effect with respect to each
such award of Company Restricted Shares immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time; and |
|
● |
each ordinary share, par value $1.00 per share, of Merger Sub (each, a “Merger Sub Share”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time will automatically be converted into and become one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share of the Company. |

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination
Agreement, the Company entered into (i) the Pre-Funded PIPE Subscription Agreement with Inflection Point Fund I LP, pursuant to which
New Sponsor agreed to purchase approximately $20 million of Company Series A Preferred Shares and Company Warrants (the “Signing
PIPE Securities”), which transactions were consummated concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement
and (ii) the Closing PIPE Subscription Agreement (together with the Pre-Funded PIPE Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription
Agreements”, and the investments, collectively, the “PIPE Investments”) with the investor named therein (the
“Closing PIPE Investor”), pursuant to which the investor agreed to purchase approximately $50 million of Company Series
A Preferred Shares and Company Warrants, which transactions will be consummated immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time.
The Subscription Agreements
include customary representations and warranties from the Company and the investors and customary closing conditions. The Subscription
Agreements also include customary covenants and agreements related to transfer restrictions and indemnification. In addition, as described
above, PubCo and the investors will enter into the New Registration Rights Agreement.
Dividends: As described
in further detail in “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement –Conversion of Securities,” pursuant
to the Business Combination Agreement, the Company Series A Preferred Shares and the Company Warrants will convert into the PubCo Series
A Preferred Shares and PubCo Series A Investor Warrants respectively. Each of the Company Series A Preferred Shares (prior to the Closing)
and the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares (following the Closing) will accrue dividends daily at the rate of 10% per annum of the Accrued
Value (as defined in the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of PubCo (the “PubCo A&R Articles”))
(if paid in kind), or 8% per annum of the Accrued Value (if paid in cash). Such dividends will compound semi-annually.
Liquidation Preference:
Upon a Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined in the PubCo A&R Articles), disposal of all, or a substantial part of, the business and
assets of the Company or PubCo, or on a distribution of assets on a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or PubCo (whether
voluntarily or involuntarily) or a return of capital (other than a conversion, redemption, buyback or purchase of Company or PubCo securities),
the holders of Company Series A Preferred Shares (prior to the Closing) and PubCo Series A Preferred Shares (following the Closing) will
be entitled to receive out of the available proceeds, before any distribution is made to holders of ordinary shares or any other junior
securities, an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the Accrued Value, provided that if there are insufficient surplus
assets remaining after payment of or provision for its liabilities, together with any other assets available for distribution to its members,
to the extent lawfully permitted to do so (“Surplus Assets”), to distribute the amounts per Company Series A Preferred
Share or PubCo Series A Preferred Share equal to the Accrued Value, the remaining Surplus Assets will be distributed to each holder of
Company Series A Preferred Shares or PubCo Series A Preferred Shares pro rata to their respective aggregate Accrued Value, and (ii) such
amount per share as would have been payable had all shares of Company Series A Preferred Shares or PubCo Series A Preferred Shares been
converted into Company Ordinary Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such event.
Voting: Each of the
Company Series A Preferred Shares (prior to the Closing) and the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares (following the Closing) votes together
with the Company Ordinary Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares, as applicable, except as required by law and as noted below under “Protective
Provisions.” Each holder of Company Series A Preferred Shares or PubCo Series A Preferred Shares will be entitled to cast one vote
for each Company Series A Preferred Share or PubCo Series A Preferred Share held by such holder as of the record date for determining
shareholders entitled to vote on such matter.
Protective Provisions:
For as long as Inflection Point Asset Management LLC, the Closing PIPE
Investor and each of their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Inflection Point Entities”) hold at least 20%
of the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares on issue, PubCo will not, without the Series A Majority Consent (as defined therein), take any
of the following actions: (a) liquidate, dissolve or wind-up the affairs of PubCo, (b) create any equity security, authorize the creation
of any equity security, classify any equity security, reclassify any equity security, or issue any other security convertible into or
exercisable for any equity security, unless such security ranks junior to the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares with respect to its rights,
preferences and privileges (including rights to receive dividends and participate in distributions or payments upon liquidation, dissolution
or winding up), (c) increase the authorized share capital of the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares, (d) purchase or redeem or pay any cash
dividend on any PubCo security ranking junior to the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares (with respect to rights to receive dividends and
participate in distributions or payments upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up), except for PubCo securities being repurchased by
the Company at cost from employees in connection with the cessation of their service or pursuant to the terms of any equity incentive
plan adopted by PubCo, (e) enter into any transaction with an affiliate, other than the issuance of equity or awards to eligible participants
under an incentive plan, equity plan or equity-based compensation plan adopted by PubCo, or with respect to employment, consulting or
award agreements with respect to executive officers or directors of PubCo, in each case regardless of whether such person (or such person’s
affiliates) would be considered an affiliate of PubCo, or (f) incur or guarantee any new indebtedness other than equipment leases or trade
payables incurred in the ordinary course of business. Holder(s) of the Company Series A Preferred Shares are also entitled to similar
rights described above.
Conversion: By notice
in writing to the Company or PubCo, each fully paid Company Series A Preferred Share (prior to the Closing) or PubCo Series A Preferred
Share (following the Closing) will be convertible into such number of Company Ordinary Shares or PubCo Ordinary Shares at any time at
the option of the holder equal to (x) the Accrued Value divided by (y) $12.00 (subject to adjustment pursuant to the PubCo A&R
Articles).
Put Rights: Unless
prohibited by applicable law governing distributions to shareholders, the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares will be redeemable at the option
of the Series A Majority (as defined therein) at any time on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to 100% of
the Accrued Value.
Call Rights: Unless
prohibited by applicable law governing distributions to shareholders, all (but not some) PubCo Series A Preferred Shares will be redeemable
at the option of PubCo at any time on or after the first anniversary of the Closing at a price equal to 150% of the Accrued Value.
Share Purchase Warrants:
The PubCo Series A Investor Warrant will be immediately exercisable upon issuance at Closing and will expire five years from the date
of Closing. The PubCo Series A Investor Warrants include customary cash and cashless exercise provisions. Each PubCo Series A Investor
Warrant is initially exercisable at $12.00 per PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to equitable adjustment and the same anti-dilution and other
adjustments as the PubCo Series A Preferred Shares.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Report and the exhibits
hereto contain forward-looking statements that relate to the Company’s current expectations and view of future events. Forward-looking
statements generally are accompanied by words such as “anticipate”, “could”, “estimate”, “may”,
“potential”, “project”, “should”, “will” and other similar expressions, or the negative
of these terms or other comparable terminology, that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical
matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and
performance metrics; the size and growth potential of the markets for the Company’s technology; statements about the Company’s
business strategy; statements about the development of the Company’s technology; potential benefits of the Transactions; and expectations
relating to the Transactions, including the proceeds of the Transactions and the Company’s expected cash runway. These forward-looking
statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in domestic and foreign business,
market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely enter into definitive agreements
with respect to the Transactions or consummate the Transactions, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are
delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions (such as any SEC statements or enforcements or other actions relating to SPACs) that
could adversely affect PubCo or the expected benefits of the Transactions, or the risk that the SPAC Shareholder Approval or the Company
Shareholder Approval is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions; risks relating to the uncertainty
of the projected financial information with respect to the Company and PubCo; risks related to potential fluctuations in the oil and gas
industries; the impact of competitive technologies; ability to obtain sufficient supply of materials; ability to negotiate and enter into
definitive agreements with customers and/or suppliers on favorable terms, if at all; ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
the impact of competing technologies on the Company’s business; ability to obtain additional financing as and when needed, on terms

proceedings that may be instituted against the SPAC or the Company related to the Transactions; intellectual property-related claims;
the amount of redemption requests made by Public Shareholders; and those factors discussed in documents the SPAC has filed or will file
with the SEC.
If any of these risks materialize
or the SPAC’s or the Company’s assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied
by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither the SPAC nor the Company presently know or that the SPAC
and the Company currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking
statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect the SPAC’s and the Company’s expectations, plans, or forecasts
of future events and views as of the date of this Report and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements
herein. The SPAC and the Company anticipate that future events and developments will cause the SPAC’s and the Company’s assessments
to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing the SPAC’s and the Company’s assessments
as of any date subsequent to the date of this Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements
because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which
could materially affect results. Neither the SPAC, the Company nor any of their respective affiliates undertake any obligation to update
these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.
