Effective as of the Closing Date, each of Sean Goodrich, B. Luke Weil, Ryan Burke, Rayne Steinberg and Jeffrey Kleinops were appointed as directors of Pubco. Andrew Karos serves as Chair of the Pubco Board, Harry Georgakopoulos serves as Chief Operating Officer, Secretary and a director of Pubco, and Erik Guckel serves as Chief Financial Officer of Pubco.

Information with respect to Pubco’s directors and officers appointed as of the Closing Date, including biographical information regarding these individuals, is set forth in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section entitled “Management of Pubco Following the Business Combination,” which information is incorporated herein by reference.

Risk Oversight

The Pubco Board will have extensive involvement in the oversight of risk management related to Pubco and its business and will accomplish this oversight through the regular reporting to the Pubco Board by the audit committee. The audit committee will represent the Pubco Board by periodically reviewing Pubco’s accounting, reporting and financial practices, including the integrity of its financial statements, the surveillance of administrative and financial controls and its compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. Through its regular meetings with management, including the finance, legal, internal audit and information technology functions, the audit committee will review and discuss all significant areas of our business and summarize for the Pubco Board all areas of risk and the appropriate mitigating factors. In addition, the Pubco Board will receive periodic detailed operating performance reviews from management.

Director Independence

The Pubco Board consists of seven members, three of whom qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of Nasdaq. Upon the Closing, Pubco’s majority stockholder, Andrew Karos, holds a majority of the voting power of Pubco Common Stock and Pubco is a “controlled company” within the meaning of applicable rules of Nasdaq. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. Pubco intends to rely on certain of these exemptions.

Under the rules of Nasdaq, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors. In addition, the rules of Nasdaq require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit and compensation committees be independent. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Audit committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq. Compensation committee members must also satisfy the additional independence criteria set forth in Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and the rules of Nasdaq.

In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the committee, the board of directors, or any other board committee: (1) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (2) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries.

To be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10C-1 under the Exchange Act and under the rules of Nasdaq, the board of directors must affirmatively determine that the member of the compensation committee is independent, including a consideration of all factors specifically relevant to determining whether the director has a relationship to the company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member, including, but not limited to: (i) the source of compensation of such director, including any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee paid by the company to such director; and (ii) whether such director is affiliated with the company, a subsidiary of the company or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company.

The Pubco Board has undertaken a review of the independence of each director and considered whether each director has a material relationship that could compromise his or her ability to exercise independent judgment in carrying out his or her responsibilities. As a result of this review, each of Rayne Steinberg, Ryan Burke and Jeffrey Kleinops has been deemed an “independent director” as defined under the listing requirements and rules of Nasdaq and the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Pubco Board has a standing Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All of the committees will comply with all applicable requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Nasdaq and SEC rules and regulations as further described below. The responsibilities of each of the committees of the Pubco Board are described below. Members will serve on these committees until their resignation or until as otherwise determined by the Pubco Board.

Pubco’s Audit Committee currently consists of Rayne Steinberg, Ryan Burke and Jeffrey Kleinops, with Ryan Burke serving as Chairperson. The Pubco Board has affirmatively determined that Rayne Steinberg, Ryan Burke and Jeffrey Kleinops each meet the definition of “independent director” for purposes of serving on the Audit Committee under the Nasdaq rules and the independence standards under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Each member of the Audit Committee meets the financial literacy requirements of the Nasdaq rules. In addition, the Pubco Board has determined that Ryan Burke qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K.

A copy of the code is posted on Pubco’s website at boostrun.com. In addition, Pubco intends to post on its website all disclosures that are required by law or the Nasdaq rules concerning any amendments to, or waivers from, any provision of the code. The information on Pubco’s website is deemed not to be incorporated in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The material terms of the Karos Employment Agreement and the Guckel Employment Agreement are described above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Overview of Anticipated Executive Compensation Program

Following the Closing Date, decisions with respect to the compensation of Pubco’s executive officers, including its named executive officers, will be made by the Compensation Committee of the Pubco Board. Pubco anticipates that compensation for its executive officers will have the following components: base salary, cash bonus opportunities, equity compensation, employee benefits and severance protections. Base salaries, employee benefits and severance protections will be designed to attract and retain senior management talent. Pubco will also use annual cash bonuses and equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of its executive officers with the long-term interests of its stockholders and enhances executive retention.

Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Certain relationships and related party transactions are described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions” beginning on page 228 of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Market Information and Holders

Immediately prior to the closing of the Business Combination, the Willow Lane Units, Willow Lane Class A Ordinary Shares and Willow Lane Public Warrants were listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “WLACU,” “WLAC” and “WLACW,” respectively.

As of the Closing Date, the Willow Lane Units were separated into Willow Lane Class A Ordinary Shares and Willow Lane Public Warrants, and the Willow Lane Class A Ordinary Shares were converted into shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and the Willow Lane Public Warrants were converted into Pubco Public Warrants. As a result, the Willow Lane Units, Willow Lane Class A Ordinary Shares and Willow Lane Public Warrants no longer trade.

On May 11, 2026, the Pubco Class A Common Stock and Pubco Public Warrants began trading on Nasdaq under the new trading symbols “BRUN” and “BRUNW,” respectively.

As of the Closing Date and following the completion of the Business Combination, Pubco had 61,428,674 shares of Pubco Common Stock issued and outstanding, consisting of 31,895,656 shares of Pubco Class A Common Stock and 29,533,018 shares of Pubco Class B Common Stock, held of record by 9 holders. Such numbers do not include Depository Trust Company participants or beneficial owners holding shares through nominee names.

Pubco has not paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock to date. Pubco may retain future earnings, if any, for future operations, expansion and debt repayment and has no current plans to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of the board of directors and will depend on, among other things, Pubco’s results of operations, financial condition, cash requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors that the board of directors may deem relevant.

Description of Registrant’s Securities

The description of Pubco’s securities is set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus entitled “Description of Pubco Securities” beginning on page 236.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate, subject to certain conditions, the personal liability of directors and officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties. The Pubco organizational documents limit the liability of Pubco’s directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.

Pubco expects to purchase director and officer liability insurance to cover liabilities its directors and officers may incur in connection with their services to the combined company, including matters arising under the Securities Act. The Pubco organizational documents also provide that Pubco will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, Pubco has entered into customary indemnification agreements with each of its officers and directors, as described above in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

There is no pending litigation or proceeding involving any of Pubco’s directors, officers, employees or agents in which indemnification will be required or permitted. Pubco is not aware of any threatened litigation or proceedings that may result in a claim for such indemnification.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, executive officers or persons controlling the combined company, Pubco has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.
