AERIES TECHNOLOGY, INC.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE

WHEREAS, Aeries Technology, Inc. (the “Company”) maintains the Aeries Technology, Inc. 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was previously adopted by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company and approved by the shareholders of the Company;

WHEREAS, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) has recommended to the Board to increase the maximum aggregate number (the “Share Reserve”) of Shares (as defined in the Plan) that may be subject to Awards (as defined in the Plan) and sold under the Plan because the reserved number has become insufficient for the Company’s anticipated needs under the Plan and to provide for an automatic annual increase in the Share Reserve;

WHEREAS, the Committee has further recommended to the Board to remove certain limits under the Plan related to awards issuable to Participants (as defined in the Plan) under the Plan;

WHEREAS, Section 19.b of the Plan provides that the Board may amend the Plan;

WHEREAS, the Board has determined it to be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to approve this Amendment No 1 (this “Amendment”) to the Plan and submit Section 1 of this Amendment for approval by the Company’s shareholders;

WHEREAS, Section 1 of this Amendment will become effective upon approval by the Company’s shareholders at the a properly noticed and called shareholder meeting, and until such approval, or, if for any reason the Company’s shareholders do not approve Section 1 of this Amendment, the existing Plan shall continue in full force and effect, with Sections 2 and 3 of this Amendment being incorporated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options shall equal the Initial Share Pool. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired Shares.”

2. Section 5(d) of the Plan is hereby deleted in its entirety.
