An aggregate of 6,280,859 Class A ordinary shares and one Class B ordinary share of the Company, which represented a quorum of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote as of the record date of January 31, 2025, were represented in person (virtually) or by proxy at the Meeting.

The Company’s shareholders voted on the following proposals at the Meeting, all of which were approved:

(1)

Proposal No. 1 — The Extension Proposal — proposal to amend, by special resolution, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum of association and articles of association, as amended to extend the date by which the Company would be required to consummate a business combination from March 3, 2025 to March 3, 2026 and (b) to permit the board of directors of the Company, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date than March 3, 2026. The following is a tabulation of the votes with respect to this proposal:

	For		Against		Abstain		Broker Non-Votes

(2)

Proposal No. 2 — The Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal — a proposal to eliminate, by way of special resolution, from the charter the limitation that the Company may not redeem public shares to the extent that such redemption would result in the Company having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of less than US$5,000,001 in order to allow the Company to redeem public shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the redemption limitation.

	For		Against		Abstain		Broker Non-Votes
	6,280,860		0		0		0

	For		Against		Abstain		Broker Non-Votes
	6,280,860		0		0		0

Because quorum was obtained and all proposals were approved, the Company did not hold a vote on the adjournment proposal that was set forth in the proxy statement for the Meeting.

An aggregate of 1,006,745 shares were redeemed in connection with the Extension Proposal, resulting in there being an aggregate of 5,954,986 Class A Ordinary Shares and 1 Class B Ordinary Share outstanding.
