On September 30, 2024, the parties to the Merger Agreement entered into that certain Fourth Amendment to Merger Agreement (the “Amendment”) pursuant to which the parties have agreed to, among other things, extend the deadline for the parties to complete the Business Combination (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to March 28, 2024. GCL Global also agreed to pay for up to six (6) months of extension fees starting September 28, 2024 and other third-party vendor expenses incurred by SPAC in connection with the Business Combination, for an aggregate of up to $500,000 (the “Amendment Expenses”), subject to a dollar-for-dollar reduction to the Maximum Allowable SPAC Transaction Expenses (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) and reimbursement by the Sponsor in the event that the Amendment Expenses paid exceeds five percent (5%) of the total amount of Transaction Financing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (not including the balance of the Trust Account) the Company has received from the Sponsor, its affiliate, or any party introduced by the Sponsor to the Company that was not already known to the Company.

The foregoing description of the Amendment is not complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1, and the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Important Information for Investors and Shareholders

This document relates to a proposed transaction among SPAC, PubCo and the Company. This document does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. PubCo has filed a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which includes a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement, referred to as a proxy statement/prospectus. A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all SPAC shareholders. SPAC and PubCo also will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of SPAC are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed transaction.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by SPAC through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Participants in the Solicitation

SPAC, PubCo, the Company and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from SPAC’s shareholders in connection with the proposed transaction. A list of the names of the respective directors and executive officers of SPAC, PubCo and the Company, and information regarding their interests in the business combination, will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus when available. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph.

This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such other jurisdiction.

Forward-Looking Statements

All statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K other than statements of historical facts, contain certain statements that are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “forecast,” “intend,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “seek,” “target,” “continue,” “may” or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean a statement is not forward looking. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on, future earnings, dividends or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially, and potentially adversely, from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Most of these factors are outside SPAC’s and the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are not limited to: (i) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (ii) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against SPAC and/or the Company following the announcement of the Merger Agreement and the transactions; (iii) the inability to complete the proposed transactions, including due to failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of SPAC, certain regulatory approvals, or the satisfaction of other conditions to Closing in the Merger Agreement; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change, or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement or could otherwise cause the transaction to fail to close; (v) the inability to maintain the listing of SPAC shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market following the proposed transactions; (vi) the risk that the proposed transactions disrupt the Company’s current plans and operations as a result of the announcement and consummation of the proposed transactions; (vii) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth profitably, and the ability of the Company to retain its key employees; (viii) costs related to the proposed transactions; (ix) changes in applicable laws or regulations; and (x) the possibility that the Company or SPAC may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors. The foregoing list of factors is not exclusive. Additional information concerning certain of these and other risk factors is included under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Registration Statement to be filed by PubCo with the SEC and those included under the heading “Risk Factors” in SPAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 25, 2024, and the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 26, 2024 and August 23, 2024, respectively. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained herein. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements concerning SPAC, PubCo and the Company, the transactions or other matters attributable to SPAC, PubCo, the Company or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Each of SPAC, PubCo and the Company expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.
