Merger Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary and description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated by reference. Shareholders of Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I and other interested parties are urged to read the Merger Agreement in its entirety. Unless otherwise defined, the capitalized terms used below are defined in the Merger Agreement.

The Merger

On May 27, 2025, Investcorp Europe Acquisition Corp I, a Cayman Islands exempted company incorporated with limited liability (the “Company”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with (i) Vikas Mittal, in the capacity as the representative for the shareholders of the Company and their successors and assignees) (“Investcorp Representative”); (ii) Investcorp Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”); (iii) Nexx HoldCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Nexx HoldCo”); (iv) Michael Hanlon, as the representative for the members of Nexx HoldCo and their successors and assignees) (“Nexx HoldCo Representative”); and (v) Hanire LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Hanire”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into Nexx HoldCo (the “Merger”), with Nexx HoldCo as the surviving company in the Merger and, as a result of the Merger, Nexx HoldCo will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and each of the units of membership interest of Nexx HoldCo will be automatically converted into the right to receive ordinary shares of the Company.

Merger Consideration

Prior to the Closing, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Company will transfer by way of continuation to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation (the “Domestication”) in accordance with Section 388 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (2021 Revision). In connection with the Domestication (a) the governing documents of the Company, under which the Company shall have a single class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having one (1) vote per share shall be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and shall become the governing documents of the Company (the “Amended Investcorp Charter”); (b) each Class A ordinary share and each Class B ordinary shares of the Company that is outstanding at the time of the Domestication will be converted into one share of Company common stock; and (c) each Company warrant that is outstanding at the time of the Domestication shall convert automatically into a warrant exercisable for one share of the Company common stock.

As consideration for the Merger, the members of Nexx HoldCo collectively shall be entitled to receive from the Company, in the aggregate, a number of shares of Company common stock with an aggregate value equal to $55,000,000.00 (the “Merger Consideration”) subject to a dollar for dollar adjustment for the PIPE Funding (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) and any Additional Financing (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) and each share of Company common stock valued at the Per Share Price (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement). The Merger Consideration shall be allocated among the members of Nexx HoldCo in accordance with their respective pro rata equity interest.

Representations and Warranties

The Merger Agreement contains a number of representations and warranties made by each of the parties as of the date of the Merger Agreement or other specified dates. Certain of the representations and warranties are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), as well as information provided in the disclosure schedules to the Merger Agreement. As used in the Merger Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means, with respect to any specified person, any fact, event, occurrence, change or effect that has had, or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon (a) the business, assets, liabilities, results of operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of such person and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (b) the ability of such person or any of its subsidiaries on a timely basis to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the ancillary documents to which it is a party or bound or to perform its obligations; provided, however, that for purposes of clause (a) above, any changes or effects directly or indirectly attributable to, resulting from, relating to or arising out of the following (by themselves or when aggregated with any other, changes or effects) shall not be deemed to be, constitute, or be taken into account when determining whether there has or may, would or could have occurred a Material Adverse Effect: (i) general changes in the financial or securities markets or general economic or political conditions in the country or region in which such person or any of its subsidiaries do business; (ii) changes, conditions or effects that generally affect the industries in which such person or any of its subsidiaries principally operate; (iii) changes in GAAP or other applicable accounting principles or mandatory changes in the regulatory accounting requirements applicable to any industry in which such person and its subsidiaries principally operate; (iv) conditions caused by acts of God, terrorism, war (whether or not declared) or natural disaster; (v) any failure in and of itself by such person and its subsidiaries to meet any internal or published budgets, projections, forecasts or predictions of financial performance for any period (provided that the underlying cause of any such failure may be considered in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur to the extent not excluded by another exception) and (vi), with respect to the Company, the consummation and effects of the Redemption (as defined in the Merger Agreement); provided further, however, that any event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change referred to in clauses (i) - (iv) immediately above shall be taken into account in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or could reasonably be expected to occur to the extent that such event, occurrence, fact, condition, or change has a disproportionate effect on such person or any of its subsidiaries compared to other participants in the industries in which such person or any of its subsidiaries primarily conducts its businesses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Company, the amount of the Redemption or the failure to obtain the required approval by the stockholders of the Company shall not be deemed to be a Material Adverse Effect on or with respect to the Company.

No Survival

The representations and warranties of the parties contained in the Merger Agreement terminate as of, and do not survive, the Closing, and, following their expiration, there are no indemnification rights for another party’s breach of a representation or warranty.
