Explanatory Note
On December 9, 2024, Corner Growth Acquisition Corp.

This Amendment No. 1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K amends such disclosures to correct the mailing date and resulting effective date of the resignation which were incorrectly stated in the original Current Report on Form 8-K. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and thereafter mail, an information statement (“Information Statement”) pursuant to Rule 14f-1 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for the purpose of notifying the Company’s shareholders of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and change in the majority of the Board in connection therewith.
