PRE 14A

Maywood Acquisition Corp. called an extraordinary general meeting to vote on three items: changing its name to Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. V, adopting amended and restated articles solely to reflect that name change, and, if needed, approving an adjournment to solicit additional votes or update materials.

Both the Name Change and Articles Amendment require a special resolution of at least two thirds (2/3) of votes cast, with holders of Class A and Class B voting together as one class. The Adjournment needs a simple majority. The Record Date is October 20, 2025, when 13,938,125 Class A shares (8,625,000 public) and 990,000 Class B shares were outstanding; a quorum is one third of outstanding ordinary shares present in person or by proxy.

The filing notes a Business Combination Agreement with GoWell Technology Limited; shareholders are not voting on that transaction now and will retain the right to vote and redeem at the separate business combination meeting. The Board unanimously recommends voting FOR all proposals.

Maywood Acquisition Corp. ha convocato un'assemblea generale straordinaria per votare su tre punti: modificare il nome in Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. V, adottare statuti modificati e riassunti per riflettere esclusivamente tale cambiamento di nome, e, se necessario, approvare un rinvio per solicitare ulteriori voti o aggiornare i materiali.

Entrambi i termini Cambio del nome e Modifica degli statuti richiedono una risoluzione speciale di almeno due terzi (2/3) dei voti espressi, con i detentori delle azioni di Classe A e Classe B che votano insieme come una sola classe. Il Rinvio necessita di una maggioranza semplice. La Data di registrazione è 20 ottobre 2025, quando erano in circolazione 13.938.125 azioni di Classe A (8.625.000 pubbliche) e 990.000 azioni di Classe B; un quorum è pari a un terzo delle azioni ordinarie in circolazione presenti di persona o per delega.

La presentazione menziona un Accordo di combinazione aziendale con GoWell Technology Limited; gli azionisti non votano ora su tale transazione e manterranno il diritto di votare e canjearsi al voto nella rispettiva assemblea per la combinazione aziendale separata. Il Consiglio, all'unanimità, raccomanda di votare AVANTI per tutte le proposte.

Maywood Acquisition Corp. convocó una junta general extraordinaria para votar sobre tres asuntos: cambiar su nombre a Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. V, adoptar estatutos modificados y actualizados para reflejar ese cambio de nombre, y, si es necesario, aprobar una prórroga para solicitar votos adicionales o actualizar los materiales.

Tanto el Cambio de nombre como la Enmienda de estatutos requieren una resolución especial de al menos dos tercios (2/3) de los votos emitidos, con los titulares de las acciones de Clase A y Clase B votando juntos como una sola clase. El Postergamiento necesita una mayoría simple. La Fecha de registro es 20 de octubre de 2025, cuando estaban en circulación 13.938.125 acciones Clase A (8.625.000 públicas) y 990.000 acciones Clase B; un quórum es un tercio de las acciones ordinarias en circulación presentes en persona o por poder.

La presentación señala un Acuerdo de Asociación Empresarial con GoWell Technology Limited; los accionistas no votan sobre esa transacción ahora y conservarán el derecho de votar y canjear en la reunión separada de combinación empresarial. El Consejo recomienda por unanimidad votar A FAVOR de todas las propuestas.

The attached Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and proxy statement describe the business the Company will conduct at the Extraordinary General Meeting and provide information about the Company that you should consider when you vote your shares.

        Proposal No. 1 — Name Change Proposal — To approve, as a special resolution, that the name of the Company be changed from “Maywood Acquisition Corp.” to “Inflection Point Acquisition Corp. V” (the “Name Change” and such proposal, the “Name Change Proposal”).

        Proposal No. 2 — Articles Amendment Proposal — To approve, as a special resolution, subject to the approval of the Name Change Proposal, that the third amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company, a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement as Annex A (the “Third A&R M&A”), be adopted in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the existing second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company to reflect the Name Change Proposal (the “Articles Amendment Proposal”).

        Proposal No. 3 — Adjournment Proposal — To approve, as an ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to these proxy materials is provided to shareholders or to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Name Change Proposal or Articles Amendment Proposal (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Name Change Proposal, Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. Please take the time to carefully read each of the proposals in the accompanying proxy statement before you vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL, ARTICLES AMENDMENT PROPOSAL, AND, IF PRESENTED, “FOR” THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

Additionally, approval of the Articles Amendment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of the Name Change Proposal. If the Name Change Proposal is not approved, the Third A&R M&A will not take effect.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under the Companies Act, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, voting together as a single class, as, being entitled to do so, vote in person (including virtually) or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Board has fixed October 20, 2025 (the “Record Date”) as the date for determining the members entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares on the Record Date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that each of the Name Change Proposal, Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.

Under the existing second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company, no other business may be transacted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing detailed information about the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this proxy statement that are not purely historical are “forward-looking statements.” Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our or our management team’s expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions, are forward-looking statements. When used in this proxy statement, words such as “anticipates” “approximately,” “believes,” “continues,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “potential,” “predicts,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

The forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement reflect the Company’s current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause its actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). While forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs as of the date of this proxy statement, they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this proxy statement, except as required by applicable law, including securities laws. Actual results and shareholders’ value will be affected by a variety of risks and factors, including, without limitation, international, national and local economic conditions, merger, acquisition and business combination risks, financing risks, geo-political risks, acts of terror or war, and those risk factors described in the section of this proxy statement entitled “Risk Factors” below, under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2025, in subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, in the prospectus filed with the SEC on February 13, 2025 (File No. 333-284082) related to the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO Prospectus”), in this proxy statement, and in other reports the Company files with the SEC. Many of the risks and factors that will determine these results and shareholders’ value are beyond the Company’s ability to control or predict. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to the Company (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

Q.     Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A.     This proxy statement and the enclosed proxy card are being sent to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by our board for use at the Extraordinary General Meeting to be held on [•], 2025 or at any adjournments thereof. This proxy statement summarizes the information that you need to make an informed decision on the proposals to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Company is a special purpose acquisition company formed as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company, with one or more businesses or entities. On February 14, 2025, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the “IPO”) of 8,625,000 units (“Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 265,625 private placement units (each, a “Private Placement Unit”) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Prior Sponsor as well as to the underwriters of the IPO, generating gross proceeds of $2,656,250. Each Unit consists of one Class A Share and one right to receive one fifth (1/5) of a Class A Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination (“Right”). In addition, the Prior Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $500,000 as of the closing date of the IPO bearing no interest (the “Sponsor Loan”). The proceeds of the Sponsor Loan were added to the trust account established in connection with the IPO, and will be repaid at the closing of an initial business combination. Following the closing of the IPO, a total of $86,250,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO, the concurrent sale of the Private Placement Units, and the Sponsor Loan was placed in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Prior Sponsor entered into a Securities Transfer Agreement with the New Sponsor, pursuant to which the Prior Sponsor sold to the New Sponsor a portion of the Class B Shares of the Company held by it and assigned the Sponsor Loan to the New Sponsor, and certain management and board of director changes were effected, as described in more detail in such Current Report on Form 8-K.

Q.     How will the Prior Sponsor and New Sponsor vote?

A.     The Prior Sponsor and New Sponsor have each advised the Company that it intends to vote any Ordinary Shares over which it has voting control, in favor of the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

On the Record Date, the Prior Sponsor beneficially owned and was entitled to vote 125,000 Class A Shares and 2,028,750 Class B Shares, representing approximately 14.43% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, and the New Sponsor beneficially owned and was entitled to vote an aggregate of 0 Class A Shares and 990,000 Class B Shares, representing 6.63% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

Q.     What if I do not want to vote “FOR” the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, or the Adjournment Proposal?

A.     If you do not want the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, or the Adjournment Proposal to be approved, you must vote “AGAINST” such proposals.

If you fail to vote by proxy or to vote yourself at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or if you do not provide instructions to vote to your broker, bank or nominee your shares will not be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established and, if a valid quorum is otherwise established, such failure to vote will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, or the Adjournment Proposal.

If you vote to “ABSTAIN” such abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established but will have no effect on the outcome of the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, or Adjournment Proposal.

If the Name Change Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposal are approved, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented for a vote.

Q.     What happens if the Name Change Proposal is not approved?

A.     If there are insufficient votes to approve the Name Change Proposal, the proposed Name Change and Third A&R M&A will not take effect.

Q.     If the Name Change Proposal and Articles Amendment Proposal are approved, what happens next?

A.     If the Name Change Proposal and Articles Amendment Proposal are approved, the Name Change and Third A&R M&A will take effect and the Company will file the Third A&R M&A in substantially the forms that appear in Annex A hereto with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies and will continue to attempt to consummate the Proposed Business Combination, or if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, another initial business combination, until the liquidation date of the Company.

Q.     Do I have redemption rights in connection with a vote to approve the Name Change Proposal and Articles Amendment Proposal?

A.     No. The Name Change Proposal and Articles Amendment Proposal do not trigger the right of public shareholders to redeem their public shares.

Q.     Am I still able to exercise my redemption rights in connection with a vote to approve a proposed initial business combination?

A.     Yes. Assuming you are a holder of public shares on the record date established in connection with the shareholder approval of a proposed initial business combination (including the Proposed Business Combination), you will be able to vote on such proposed initial business combination. You will retain your right to redeem your public shares in connection with the consummation of such initial business combination, subject to any limitations set forth in the Third A&R M&A (including the requirement to submit any request for redemption in connection with a proposed initial business combination on or before the date that is two business days before the initial scheduled date of the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to vote on the proposed business combination).

Table of Contents

Q.     If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A.     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot give instruction to vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. The Company believes that all of the proposals presented to the shareholders at this Extraordinary General Meeting will be considered non-discretionary and, therefore, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot give instruction to vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy card, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares. This indication that a broker, bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Your bank, broker or other nominee can give instruction to vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to give instruction to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, or the Adjournment Proposal, assuming a valid quorum is otherwise established.

Q.     What constitutes a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A.     A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting for the Extraordinary General Meeting to be properly held under our existing second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. The holders of at least one third (1/3) of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares present in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting constitutes a quorum. Proxies that are marked “abstain” will be treated as shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-discretionary” matters. We believe that each of the proposals is a “non-discretionary” matter. Proxies that are returned to us but marked by brokers as “not voted” (so called “broker non-votes”) will not be counted for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum.

Q.     How do I vote?

A.     If you were a holder of record of Ordinary Shares on October 20, 2025, the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposals in person or via live webcast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided no later than 11:59 p.m. on [•], 2025 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Extraordinary General Meeting).

Voting by Mail.    By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to give instruction to vote your shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 11:59 p.m. on [•], 2025 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Extraordinary General Meeting).

Voting at the Extraordinary General Meeting.    If you are a holder of record of Ordinary Shares on the Record Date, you may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote with respect to the proposals in person (including virtually). You can pre-register to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person (including virtually) starting [•], 2025 (three business days prior to the initial scheduled date of the Extraordinary General Meeting).

Q.     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A.     Yes. You may change your vote by:

        submitting another properly completed proxy by mail, telephone, or online (or voting instruction card if you hold your shares in street name) with a later date (provided it is received no later than 11:59 p.m. on [•], 2025 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Extraordinary General Meeting)); or

        attending and voting (including virtually) during the Extraordinary General Meeting.

You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to us, which must be received by us on or before the Extraordinary General Meeting. Simply attending the Extraordinary General Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

Q.     Does the Board recommend voting “FOR” the approval of the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal?

A.     Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal, the Board has determined that the each of the foregoing proposals is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board unanimously recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

Q.     Do I have appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights if I object to the proposals presented in this proxy statement?

A.     Neither Cayman Islands law nor our existing second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides for dissenters’ rights for dissenting shareholders in connection with the Name Change Proposal to be voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, dissenters’ rights only apply in a statutory merger where the company is a constituent company, which is not the case with any of the proposals.

Right holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the proposal to be voted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q.     What do I need to do now?

A.     You should read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including the Annexes, and to consider how the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q.     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials for the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A.     You may receive more than one set of voting materials for the Extraordinary General Meeting, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares no later than 11:59 p.m. on [•], 2025 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Extraordinary General Meeting).

Separate voting materials will be mailed to the Company’s shareholders for a shareholder meeting with respect to the Proposed Business Combination, to be held on a later date.

While the Company reserves the right to do so if circumstances change, it currently does not anticipate that it will be necessary. The Company intends to conduct its own solicitation of proxies and will bear all associated costs. The Company believes that its shareholders will participate and vote based on the information the Company has received from its shareholders and the information provided in this proxy statement.

Voting Your Shares — Beneficial Owners

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from the Company. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. To vote yourself at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form.

You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after the Company receives your registration materials.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the Extraordinary General Meeting or at the Extraordinary General Meeting by doing any one of the following:

        you may submit another properly completed proxy by mail, telephone, or online (or voting instruction card if you hold your shares in street name) with a later date (provided it is received no later than 11:59 p.m. on [•], 2025 (two business days before the scheduled date of the Extraordinary General Meeting));

        you may notify us in writing to Maywood Acquisition Corp., 167 Madison Ave, Suite 205 #1017, New York, NY 10016before the Extraordinary General Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

        you may attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or via live webcast, revoke your proxy, and vote yourself, as indicated above. Simply attending the Extraordinary General Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

No Additional Matters

The Extraordinary General Meeting has been called only to consider and vote on the approval of the Name Change Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the existing second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Extraordinary General Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting if they are not included in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and this proxy statement.

The Company will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of this proxy statement and the related proxy materials. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding this proxy statement and the related proxy materials to the Company’s shareholders.

Dissenter’s Rights and Appraisal Rights

Right holders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Name Change Proposal or the Articles Amendment Proposal.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL

Overview

The Company is a special purpose acquisition company formed as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands for the purpose of effecting a merger, amalgamation, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company, with one or more businesses or entities. On February 14, 2025, the Company consummated the IPO of 8,625,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $86,250,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of an aggregate of 265,625 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit in a private placement to the Prior Sponsor as well as to the underwriters of the IPO, generating gross proceeds of $2,656,250. Each Unit consists of one Class A Share and one Right. In addition, the Prior Sponsor loaned the Company an aggregate of $500,000 as of the closing date of the IPO bearing no interest. The proceeds of the Sponsor Loan were added to the trust account established in connection with the IPO, and will be repaid at the closing of an initial business combination. Following the closing of the IPO, a total of $86,250,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the IPO, and the concurrent sale of the Private Placement Units, and the Sponsor Loan was placed in the Trust Account.

As previously disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 12, 2025, the Prior Sponsor entered into a Securities Transfer Agreement with the New Sponsor, pursuant to which the Prior Sponsor sold to the New Sponsor a portion of the Class B Shares held by it and assigned the Sponsor Loan to the New Sponsor, and certain management and board of director changes were effected, as described in more detail in such Current Report on Form 8-K.

As previously disclosed, in September 2025, Michael Blitzer was appointed as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and Kevin Shannon was appointed as Chief Operating Officer, respectively, of the Company. Mr. Blitzer and Mr. Shannon are affiliates of the New Sponsor.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Proposed Business Combination is consummated before the end of year 2025, the Company expects its annual general meeting would be held at a future date to be determined by the post-combination company.

You should direct any proposals to us at the Company’s principal office.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless the Company has received contrary instructions, the Company may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if the Company believes the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce the Company’s expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of the Company’s disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of the Company’s disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

8.1      Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares, except Public Shares, shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of such Shares. With respect to redeeming or repurchasing the Shares:

(a)      Members who hold Public Shares are entitled to request the redemption of such Shares in the circumstances described in the Business Combination Article hereof;

(b)      Class B Shares held by the Sponsor shall be surrendered by the Sponsor for no consideration to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in full so that the Founders will own approximately 26 per cent of the Company’s issued Shares after the IPO (exclusive of any securities purchased in a private placement simultaneously with the IPO or in the IPO itself); and

(c)      Public Shares shall be repurchased by way of tender offer in the circumstances set out in the Business Combination Article hereof.

8.2      Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member.

10.      Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1    If at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Ordinary Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class), or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person (including virtually) or by proxy may demand a poll.

Annex A-7

Table of Contents

10.2    For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

10.3    The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith.

11.      Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

12.      Non-Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13.      Lien on Shares

13.1    The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2    The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3    To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4    The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

14.      Call on Shares

14.1    Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

Annex A-8

Table of Contents

14.2    A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

14.3    The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

14.4    If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5    An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

14.6    The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7    The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8    No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

15.      Forfeiture of Shares

15.1    If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2    If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

15.3    A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4    A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

15.5    A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or officer of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

Annex A-9

Table of Contents

15.6    The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

16.      Transmission of Shares

16.1    If a Member dies the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder) or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

16.2    Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution.

16.3    A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles) the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

17.      Class B Ordinary Share Conversion

17.1    The rights attaching to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article, the Appointment and Removal of Directors Article and the Transfer by Way of Continuation Article) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the conversion rights referred to in this Article.

17.2    Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holders thereof; and (b) automatically on the day of the closing of a Business Combination.

17.3    Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued or deemed issued, by the Company in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the closing of a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the closing of a Business Combination and the ratio for which the Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the Class B Shares in issue agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, in the aggregate, approximately 26 per cent of the sum of all Class A Shares and Class B Shares in issue upon completion of the IPO plus all Class A Shares and Equity-linked Securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, excluding any Shares or Equity-linked Securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement securities issued to the Sponsor or its Affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company.

Annex A-10

Table of Contents

17.4    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof.

17.5    The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share split, subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of shares without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

17.6    Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

17.7    References in this Article to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

17.8    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

18.      Amendments of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Alteration of Capital

18.1    The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a)      increase its share capital by such sum as the Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

(b)      consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c)      convert all or any of its paid-up Shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination;

(d)      by subdivision of its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value; and

(e)      cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

18.2    All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

(b)      alter or add to the Articles;

20.      General Meetings

20.1    All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

20.2    The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute or applicable law) be obliged to, in each year, hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint and if no other time and place is prescribed by them, it shall be held at the Registered Office on the second Wednesday in December of each year at ten o’clock in the morning. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

20.3    The Directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the board of Directors may call general meetings, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Members shall not have the ability to call general meetings.

Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

22.6    If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

22.7    The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

22.8    When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise, it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

22.9    If, prior to a Business Combination, a notice is issued in respect of a general meeting and the Directors, in their absolute discretion, consider that it is impractical or undesirable for any reason to hold that general meeting at the place, the day and the hour specified in the notice calling such general meeting, the Directors may postpone the general meeting to another place, day and/or hour provided that notice of the place, the day and the hour of the rearranged general meeting is promptly given to all Members. No business shall be transacted at any postponed meeting other than the business specified in the notice of the original meeting.

22.10  A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a poll.

22.11  A poll shall be taken as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

22.12  A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such date, time and place as the chairman of the general meeting directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

23.3    A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

23.5    No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

23.6    Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

23.7    On a poll, a Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.

24.      Proxies

24.1    The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative.

24.4    The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

24.5    Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of such Shares held by the Clearing House (or its nominee(s)).

All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been appointed and qualified.

28.      Powers of Directors

28.1    Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company.

(d)      the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

(e)      all of the other Directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors.

31.6    The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

31.9    A Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

39.1    Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

39.2    Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

39.3    The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

39.4    The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

39.5    Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

39.6    The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

39.7    Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

39.8    No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

39.9    Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

40.      Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

41.      Books of Account

41.1    The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

41.2    The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

41.3    The Directors may cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

42.      Audit

42.1    The Directors may appoint an Auditor of the Company who shall hold office on such terms as the Directors determine.

42.2    Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, if the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Directors shall establish and maintain an Audit Committee as a committee of the Directors and shall adopt a formal written Audit Committee charter and review and assess the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. The Audit Committee shall meet at least once every financial quarter, or more frequently as circumstances dictate.

42.3    If the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company shall conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and shall utilise the Audit Committee for the review and approval of potential conflicts of interest.

42.4    The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Audit Committee (if one exists).

Annex A-21

Table of Contents

42.5    If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by resignation or death of the Auditor, or by his becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when his services are required, the Directors shall fill the vacancy and determine the remuneration of such Auditor.

42.6    Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

42.7    Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

42.8    Any payment made to members of the Audit Committee (if one exists) shall require the review and approval of the Directors, with any Director interested in such payment abstaining from such review and approval.

42.9    The Audit Committee shall monitor compliance with the terms of the IPO and, if any non-compliance is identified, the Audit Committee shall be charged with the responsibility to take all action necessary to rectify such non-compliance or otherwise cause compliance with the terms of the IPO.

42.10  At least one member of the Audit Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as determined by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. The “audit committee financial expert” shall have such past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

43.      Notices

43.1    Notices shall be in writing and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member). Notice may also be served by Electronic Communication in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or by placing it on the Company’s Website.

43.2    Where a notice is sent by:

(e)      placing it on the Company’s Website; service of the notice shall be deemed to have been effected one hour after the notice or document was placed on the Company’s Website.

Annex A-22

Table of Contents

43.1    A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

43.2    Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

44.      Winding Up

44.1    If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a)      if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b)      if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

44.2    If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

45.      Indemnity and Insurance

45.1    Every Director and officer of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former officer of the Company (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2    The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or

Annex A-23

Table of Contents

other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

45.3    The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or other officer of the Company against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

46.      Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1st January in each year.

47.      Transfer by Way of Continuation

47.1    If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

47.2    Prior to the closing of a Business Combination,

(a)      only the Class B Shares shall carry the right to vote on any resolution of the shareholders to approve any transfer by way of continuation pursuant to this Article (including any resolution required to amend the Memorandum and Articles or to adopt new constitutional documents of the Company, in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands); and

(b)      this Article may only be amended by a Special Resolution passed by at least 90 per cent of such Members as, being entitled to do so, vote in person (including virtually) or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been given, or by way of unanimous written resolution

48.      Mergers and Consolidations

The Company shall have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more other constituent companies (as defined in the Statute) upon such terms as the Directors may determine and (to the extent required by the Statute) with the approval of a Special Resolution.

49       Business Combination

49.1    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles, this Article shall apply during the period commencing upon the adoption of the Articles and terminating upon the first to occur of the consummation of a Business Combination and the full distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In the event of a conflict between this Article and any other Articles, the provisions of this Article shall prevail.

49.2    Prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall either:

(a)      submit such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or

(b)      provide Members with the opportunity to have their Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer for a per-Share repurchase price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two Business Days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued Public Shares. Such obligation to repurchase Shares is subject to the completion of the proposed Business Combination to which it relates.

49.3    If the Company initiates any tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act in connection with a proposed Business Combination, it shall file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to completing such Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. If, alternatively, the Company holds a general meeting to approve

Annex A-24

Table of Contents

a proposed Business Combination, the Company will conduct any redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

49.4    At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution pursuant to the terms of an agreement governing such Business Combination, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination.

If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (such interest shall be net of taxes payable) and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued Public Shares (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “Redemption Price”), but only in the event that the applicable proposed Business Combination is approved and consummated.

49.6    A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Notice once submitted to the Company unless the Directors determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

49.7    In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 15 months from the consummation of the IPO (or up to 18 months if such date is extended as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), the Company shall:

(a)      cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up;

(b)      as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten Business Days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and

(c)      as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law.

49.8    In the event that any amendment is made to the Articles:

(a)      to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within the time period set forth above in Article 49.7, as may be amended; or

Annex A-25

Table of Contents

(b)      with respect to any other provision relating to Members’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity, each holder of Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.

49.9    A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an IPO Redemption, a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to this Article, or a distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In no other circumstance shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account.

49.10  After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:

(a)      receive funds from the Trust Account; or

(b)      vote as a class with Public Shares on a Business Combination or on any other proposal presented to Members prior to or in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination or to approve an amendment to the Memorandum or Articles.

49.11   The uninterested Independent Directors shall approve any transaction or transactions between the Company and any of the following parties:

(a)      any Member owning an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives such Member a significant influence over the Company; and

(b)      any Director or Officer and any Affiliate of such Director or Officer.

49.12  A Director may vote in respect of a Business Combination in which such Director has a conflict of interest with respect to the evaluation of such Business Combination. Such Director must disclose such interest or conflict to the other Directors.

49.13  As long as the securities of the Company are listed on a Designated Stock Exchange, the Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 per cent of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing of a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination.

A Business Combination must not be solely effectuated with another blank cheque company or a similar company with nominal operations.

49.14  The Company may enter into a Business Combination with a target business that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer. In the event the Company seeks to consummate a Business Combination with a target that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer, the Company, or a committee of Independent Directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another valuation or appraisal firm that regularly renders fairness opinions that such a Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

50       Certain Tax Filings

Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any Director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file tax forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832 and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any Director or Officer.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for Management, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Management shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.
