The Merger, the Pre-Merger Reorganization and each of the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or any of the other relevant Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) are collectively referred to as “Business Combination.”

Major Shareholders

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Ordinary Shares as of July 1, 2024 by:

	●	each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Ordinary Shares;

	●	each of our directors and executive officers; and

●

all our directors and executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if that person possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities that the person has a right to acquire within 60 days including, without limitation, through the exercise of any option, warrant or other right or the conversion of any other security. Such securities, however, are deemed to be outstanding only for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of that person but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage beneficial ownership of any other person. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.

The calculations of the percentage of beneficial ownership are based on 46,095,743 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, as of July 1, 2024.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by them.

Amendment to PIPE Purchase Agreement

On March 6, 2024, the Company entered into the PIPE Purchase Agreement, as amended by an amendment on June 26, 2024 (such amendment, separately referred to as “PIPE Amendment”), with BWAQ and NOTAM.

Pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement, NOTAM agrees to purchase a total of 600,000 BWAQ Class A Ordinary Shares (the “NOTAM PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000. The PIPE Amendment provides that the Company agrees to, conditioned on the completion of the PIPE Closing (as defined in the PIPE Purchase Agreement) and Merger Closing, issue additional Ordinary Shares to NOTAM, on the following terms and conditions:

(i) In the event that, the average closing price of each Ordinary Share (the “Closing Price”) with respect to all trading days in July 2024 is below $10.00 per share (such average Closing Price, the “First Tranche Average Closing Price”), NOTAM may, following the last trading day in July 2024 (the “First Tranche Cut-off Date”), elect to purchase from the Company at a total purchase price of $100 such number of Ordinary Shares (“First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares”) calculated as below:

Number of First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares = (6,000,000/First Tranche Average Closing Price - 600,000) x Share Held Ratio X.

Shares Held Ratio X = Number of Remaining Converted Shares held by NOTAM as of the First Tranche Cut-off Date /600,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of NOTAM First Tranche Additional Shares that NOTAM is entitled to subscribe for under the PIPE Purchase Agreement shall not exceed 500,000.

“Remaining Converted Shares” means the remaining the Ordinary Share acquired by NOTAM upon the conversion of the NOTAM PIPE Shares upon the Merger Closing purchased pursuant to the PIPE Purchase Agreement, excluding any other Ordinary Shares acquired by NOTAM upon and following the Merger Closing, in the open market, from any other parties, or the Additional Shares, if any.

(ii) In the event that the average Closing Price with respect to all trading days in July 2024 and August 2024 is below $10.00 per share (the “Second Tranche Average Closing Price”), NOTAM may, following the last trading day in August 2024 (the “Second Tranche Cut-off Date”), purchase from the Company at a total purchase price of $100 such number of Ordinary Shares (“Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares”) calculated as below:

Number of Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares = (6,000,000/Second NOTAM Tranche Average Closing Price - 600,000 - First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares) x Share Held Ratio Y.

Shares Held Ratio Y = Number of Remaining Converted Shares held by NOTAM as of the Second Tranche Cut-off Date/600,000.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares that NOTAM is entitled to subscribe for under the PIPE Purchase Agreement shall equal to 500,000 minus the number of the First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares.

(iii) In the event that the average Closing Price with respect to all trading days in July 2024 through September 2024 is below $10.00 per share (the “Third Tranche Average Closing Price”), NOTAM may, following the last trading day in September 2024 (the “Third Tranche Cut-off Date” and together with the Frist Tranche Cut-off Date and the Second Tranche Cut-off Date, each a “Cut-off Date”), purchase from the Company at a total purchase price of $100 such number of Ordinary Shares (“Third NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares” and together with the First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares and the Second Tranche Additional Shares, collectively, the “Additional NOTAM Shares”) calculated as below

Number of Third NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares = (6,000,000/ Third Tranche Average Closing Price - 600,000 - First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares – Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares) x Share Held Ratio Z

Shares Held Ratio Z = Number of Remaining Converted Shares held by NOTAM as of the Third Tranche Cut-off Date/600,000

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum number of Third NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares that NOTAM is entitled to subscribe for under the PIPE Purchase Agreement shall equal to 500,000 minus the sum of number of the First NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares and the Second NOTAM Tranche Additional Shares.
