NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON ______, 2024

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF GLOBAL LIGHTS ACQUISITION CORP:

You are cordially invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders of Global Lights Acquisition Corp (“Global Lights,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) to be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on ____, 2024 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”). The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held in the offices of the Company’s counsel, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, at 31 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019, USA.

As an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Extraordinary General Meeting is being held for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

The Company has until 12 months from the closing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) to consummate our initial business combination (i.e., until November 16, 2024”) (as may be extended, the “Combination Period”). However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two (2) times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination) (each, an “Extension”), subject to the Sponsor and/or its affiliates or designee depositing additional funds into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) by and among the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”). If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is adopted by the shareholders, to effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its affiliate or designee will deposit the lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share into the Trust Account (the “Extension Fee”). The first Extension Fee must be made by November 16, 2024, while the second Extension Fee must be deposited into the Trust Account by February 16, 2025 (the “Contributions”). The amount of the Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its affiliates or designees upon consummation of an initial business combination. If our Sponsor or its affiliates or designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Contributions, then the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal will not be put before the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting and, unless we can complete an initial business combination by November 16, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate.

The Company’s Board believes that the approval of Proposal 1 will provide the Sponsor with an incentive to fund the Extension Fees required for the Extensions that may be required for the Company to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that Proposal 1 is necessary in order to be able to consummate an initial business combination. Therefore, our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to approve Proposal 1 to incentivize our Sponsor to fund such Extension Fees and provide such Extensions as may be required for us to complete an initial business combination by or before May 16, 2025 which will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in an initial business combination. The funding by our Sponsor of one or more Extensions will be required in order for us to have the opportunity to complete the initial business combination disclosed in our current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

If Proposal 1 is approved, then our Sponsor, Carbon Neutral Holdings Inc., or any of its affiliates or designees (the “Contributors”) would need to contribute the Amended Extension Fee (the lesser of $0.10 per Public Share and $350,000) to the Trust Account to extend the Combination Period for an additional three (3) month period. Each such Amended Extension Fee would be paid on or prior to the applicable deadline to extend the Combination Period for an additional three (3) month period each time up to two times, until May 16, 2025. Each Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or prior to the applicable deadline.

The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to allow the Company to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that additional time is necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposal 1.

Holders (“Public Shareholders”) of Global Lights’ ordinary shares (“Public Shares”) sold in our IPO may elect to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal (the “Election”) regardless of how such Public Shareholders vote in regard to the proposals, or whether they were holders of Global Lights’ ordinary shares on the record date or acquired such shares after such date. Global Lights believes that the redemption right provided for by way of this proxy statement protects Global Lights’ Public Shareholders from having to maintain their investments for an unreasonably long period if Global Lights fails to find a suitable acquisition in the Combination Period initially contemplated by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended Articles”) (and set forth in the provisions of the Trust Agreement). If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders (and not abandoned), the remaining Public Shareholders will retain their right to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account upon consummation of a business combination.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificates to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

The per-share pro rata portion of the Trust Account was approximately $[●] as of [●]. The closing price of Global Lights’ shares on [●] was $[●]. Global Lights cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their shares of Global Lights in the open market, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when shareholders wish to sell their shares.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares entitled to vote which are present (in person or by proxy) at the Extraordinary General Meeting and which vote on the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal will be required to approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal. The affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares entitled to vote which are present (in person or by proxy) at the Adjournment Proposal and the Extraordinary General Meeting and which vote on the Adjournment Proposal will be required to approve such proposal.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on [●], 2024 (the “Record Date”) as the record date for determining Global Lights shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of Global Lights’ ordinary shares on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournments thereof.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are fair to and in the best interests of Global Lights and its shareholders, has declared them advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” all the foregoing proposals.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing detailed information concerning the proposals and Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

We look forward to seeing you at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Dated: [●], 2024

Your vote is important. Please sign, date and return your proxy card as soon as possible to make sure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may also cast your vote in person at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

TO BE HELD ON ____, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT

The Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of shareholders of Global Lights Acquisition Corp (“Global Lights,” “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”), a Cayman Islands exempted company, will be held at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on , 2024. The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held in the offices of the Company’s counsel, Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, at 31 West 52nd Street, New York, NY 10019, USA.

As an extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders, the Extraordinary General Meeting is being held for the purpose of considering and voting upon the following proposals:

The Company has until 12 months from the closing of its initial public offering (“IPO”) to consummate our initial business combination (i.e., until November 16, 2024”) (as may be extended, the “Combination Period”). However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, but are not obligated to, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two (2) times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination) (each, an “Extension”), subject to the Sponsor and/or its affiliates or designee depositing additional funds into the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established pursuant to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”) by and among the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”). If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is adopted by the shareholders, to effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its affiliate or designee will deposit the lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share into the Trust Account (the “Extension Fee”). The first Extension Fee must be made by November 16, 2024, while the second Extension Fee must be deposited into the Trust Account by February 16, 2025 (the “Contributions”). The amount of the Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its affiliates or designees upon consummation of an initial business combination. If our Sponsor or its affiliates or designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Contributions, then the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal will not be put before the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting and, unless we can complete an initial business combination by November 16, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate.

The Company’s Board believes that the approval of Proposal 1 will provide the Sponsor with an incentive to fund the Extension Fees required for the Extensions that may be required for the Company to complete an initial business combination.

The funding by our Sponsor of one or more Extensions will be required in order for us to have the opportunity to complete the initial business combination disclosed in our current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

If Proposal 1 is approved, then our Sponsor, Carbon Neutral Holdings Inc., or any of its affiliates or designees (the “Contributors”) would need to contribute the Amended Extension Fee (the lesser of $0.10 per Public Share and $350,000) to the Trust Account to extend the Combination Period for an additional three (3) month period. Each such Amended Extension Fee would be paid on or prior to the applicable deadline to extend the Combination Period for an additional three (3) month period each time up to two times, until May 16, 2025. Each Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or prior to the applicable deadline.

The purpose of the Adjournment Proposal is to allow the Company to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if we determine that additional time is necessary to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Proposal 1.

Holders (“Public Shareholders”) of Global Lights’ ordinary shares (“Public Shares”) sold in our IPO may elect to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal (the “Election”) regardless of how such Public Shareholders vote in regard to the proposals, or whether they were holders of Global Lights’ ordinary shares on the record date or acquired such shares after such date. Global Lights believes that the redemption right provided for by way of this proxy statement protects Global Lights’ Public Shareholders from having to maintain their investments for an unreasonably long period if Global Lights fails to find a suitable acquisition in the Combination Period initially contemplated by its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Amended Articles”) (and set forth in the provisions of the Trust Agreement).

To exercise your redemption rights, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificates to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares entitled to vote which are present (in person or by proxy) at the Extraordinary General Meeting and which vote on the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will be required to approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not approved, the ability to extend the time frame is contingent upon our Sponsor depositing the required amount of funds for each Extension ($690,000, approximately $0.10 per Public Share in either case) in the Trust Account.

Our Board has fixed the close of business on [●] (the “Record Date”) as the record date for determining Global Lights shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of Global Lights’ ordinary shares on that date are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournments thereof. On the Record Date, there were 8,975,000 outstanding ordinary shares of Global Lights, including 69,000,000 outstanding Public Shares. Global Lights’ outstanding rights do not have voting rights.

BACKGROUND

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On November 16, 2023, the Company consummated the IPO of 6,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and one right to receive one-sixths (1/6th) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (the “Public Rights”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $60,000,000. The Company had also granted the underwriters in the IPO (the “Underwriters”) a 45- day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments, if any. On November 16, 2023, the Underwriters elected to exercise the over-allotment option in full, resulting in the sale of 900,000 additional Units for additional gross proceeds of $9,000,000.

Prior to the IPO, our Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 1,725,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $172.5, or approximately $0.0001 per share. Prior to the initial investment in the company of $172.5 by our Sponsor, the company had no assets, tangible or intangible. The purchase price of the founder shares was determined by dividing the amount of cash contributed to us by the number of founder shares issued.

On November 17, 2023, our units commenced trading on the NASDAQ Global Market, or NASDAQ, under the symbol “GLACU”. Commencing November 30, 2023, the ordinary shares and rights are separately traded on NASDAQ under the symbols “GLAC” and “GLACR,” respectively.

As of May 4, 2023, a total of $69,345,000 (which amount includes $2,415,000 of the underwriters’ deferred fee), comprised of proceeds from the IPO (including the proceeds received from the exercise by the Underwriters of the over-allotment option), and sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee. We paid a total of $1,380,000 in underwriting discounts and commissions and $1,243,858 for other offering cost.

The mailing address of Global Lights’ principal executive office is Room 902, Unit 1, 8th Floor, Building 5, No. 201, Tangli Road Chaoyang District, Beijing 100123, the People’s Republic of China.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved and you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination if and when it is submitted to shareholders and the right to redeem your Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the trust account in the event such business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the end of the Combination Period.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our final prospectus for our IPO as filed with the SEC on September 22, 2023, and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the events described in our final prospectus or other reports filed with the SEC occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected or we could face liquidation. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. The risks and uncertainties described in our final prospectus and other reports are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently believe are not material, may also become important factors that adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results or result in our liquidation.

PROPOSAL 1 — THE EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL

Global Lights is proposing to approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal to provide it and the Sponsor with the incentive to agree to extend the period of time within which the Company must complete its initial business combination. The Company believes that it is necessary to provide the Sponsor with an incentive to fund the Extension Fees required for the Extension that may be required for the Company to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that this Proposal 1 is necessary in order to be able to consummate an initial business combination.

Currently, under the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has until 12 months from the closing of its IPO to consummate an initial business combination. However, if we anticipate that we may not be able to consummate our initial business combination within 12 months, we may, by resolution of our board if requested by our Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a business combination up to two (2) times, each by an additional three months (for a total of up to 18 months to complete a business combination) (each, an “Extension”), subject to the Sponsor and/or its affiliates or designee depositing additional funds into the trust account as set out below. Currently, to effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its designee must deposit an amount equal to $0.10 per Public Share into the Trust Account (the “Extension Fee”).

The first Extension Fee (or Amended Extension Fee, if this Proposal 1 is approved by our shareholders) must be made by November 16, 2024, while the second Extension Fee (or Amended Extension Fee, if this Proposal 1 is approved by our shareholders) must be deposited into the Trust Account by February 16, 2025 (the “Contributions”). The amount of the Contributions will not bear interest and will be repayable by us to our Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of an initial business combination. Through this Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, Global Lights is proposing that its shareholders approve that the Sponsor and/or its affiliates or designees will deposit the lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share into the Trust Account (the “Amended Extension Fee”) to extend the date which the Company must consummate its initial business combination.

If our Sponsor or its affiliates or designees advises us that it does not intend to make the Contributions, then the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, will not be put before the shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting and, unless we can complete an initial business combination by November 16, 2024, we will dissolve and liquidate.

If Proposal 1 is approved, to effectuate each Extension, the Sponsor and/or its designee will deposit the Amended Extension Fee, equal to the lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share into the Trust Account. If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not approved, the ability to extend the time frame is contingent upon our Sponsor depositing the required amount of funds for each extension ($690,000, approximately $0.10 per Public Share in either case).

The Board’s Reasons for the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal

Under the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, the Company is seeking the approval of its shareholders to reduce the amount it must deposit into the Trust Account to be equal to the lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share. The Company’s Board believes that the approval of Proposal 1 will provide the Sponsor with an incentive to fund the Extension Fees required for the Extensions that may be required for the Company to complete an initial business combination. Accordingly, the Board believes that Proposal 1 is necessary in order to be able to consummate an initial business combination. Therefore, our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to approve Proposal 1 to incentivize our Sponsor to fund such Extension Fees and provide such Extensions as may be required for us to complete an initial business combination by or before May 16, 2025, which will provide our shareholders with the opportunity to participate in an initial business combination. The funding by our Sponsor of one or more Extensions will be required in order for us to have the opportunity to complete the initial business combination disclosed in our current filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

As discussed above, after careful consideration of all relevant factors, our Board has determined that the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is fair to, and in the best interests of, Global Lights and its shareholders. The Board has approved and declared advisable adoption of the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and recommends that you vote “FOR” such adoption. The Board expresses no opinion as to whether you should redeem your Public Shares.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is Not Approved

The Company is seeking the approval of its shareholders in order to implement the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal. Approval of the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal in required for the implementation of the Board’s plan to increase the likelihood that the Company will be able to extend the date by which it must complete an initial business combination. Therefore, our Board will abandon and not implement the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal unless our shareholders approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not approved, the ability of the Company to extend the time frame of the Combination Period will be contingent upon our Sponsor depositing the currently required amount of funds for each extension ($690,000, approximately $0.10 per Public Share in either case). In the event that the Company would require all two Extensions to complete an initial business combination, this amount would aggregate approximately $1,380,000 (or $0.20 per Public Share).

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not approved and the Sponsor does not agree to implement any additional Extensions, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, and subject to having lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our Board, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under applicable law to provide for claims of creditors and requirements of other applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our rights, which will expire worthless in the event the Company winds up.

Our Sponsor, officers and directors have waived their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares and private placement shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination prior to the end of the Combination Period. The Company will pay the costs of liquidation from its remaining assets outside of the Trust Account. If such funds are insufficient, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay taxes, we may request the trustee to release to us an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is Approved

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved, the Company’s Sponsor would be incentivized to fund additional extensions of the time period within which the Company must complete its initial business combination. Under the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, in order for the Company to effectuate one or more Extensions (up to a maximum of two Extensions), our Sponsor and/or its affiliates or designee would deposit into the Trust Account the Amended Extension Fee equal to the lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share. The Company will then continue to work to consummating its initial business combination.

You are not being asked to vote on a business combination at this time. If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved and you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares, you will retain the right to vote on any proposed business combination when it is submitted to shareholders (provided that you are a shareholder on the record date for a meeting to consider a business combination) and the right to redeem your Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event such business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated a business combination by the end of the Combination Period.

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved and implemented, the removal of the funds from the Trust Account in connection with the Election will reduce the amount held in the Trust Account following the Election. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account after such withdrawal if the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a fraction of the amount of $                           (including interest but less the funds used to pay taxes) that was in the Trust Account as of the Record Date. In such event, the Company may require additional funds to complete a business combination, and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available on terms acceptable to the parties or at all.

Redemption Rights

If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved, the Company will provide the Public Shareholders making the Election, the opportunity to receive, at the time the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal becomes effective, and in exchange for the surrender of their shares, a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, less any income taxes owed on such funds but not yet paid. Global Lights has provided that all holders of Public Shares, whether they vote for or against the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal, or whether they were holders of Global Lights ordinary shares on the Record Date or acquired such shares after such date, may elect to redeem their Public Shares into their pro rata portion of the Trust Account and should receive the funds shortly after the Extraordinary General Meeting. You will also be able to redeem your Public Shares in connection with any shareholder vote to approve a proposed business combination, or if the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Combination Period.

TO DEMAND REDEMPTION, YOU MUST ENSURE YOUR BANK OR BROKER COMPLIES WITH THE REQUIREMENTS IDENTIFIED ELSEWHERE HEREIN, INCLUDING SUBMITTING A WRITTEN REQUEST THAT YOUR SHARES BE REDEEMED FOR CASH TO THE TRANSFER AGENT AND DELIVERING YOUR SHARES TO THE TRANSFER AGENT PRIOR TO 5:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME ON                         , 2024 (TWO BUSINESS DAYS BEFORE THE SCHEDULED VOTE AT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING). YOU WILL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE CASH IN CONNECTION WITH A REDEMPTION OF THESE SHARES IF YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD THEM UNTIL THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE EXTENSION FEE REDUCTION PROPOSAL AND ELECTION.

In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 1 State Street, 30th Floor, New York, NY 10004, Attention: SPAC Redemption Team, Email: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com, at least two (2) business days prior to the vote for the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting ensures that a redeeming holder’s election is irrevocable once the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal are approved. In furtherance of such irrevocable election, shareholders making the Election will not be able to tender their shares after the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Holders of Units must elect to separate the underlying Public Shares and Public Rights prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If holders hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, holders must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Rights, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact the Transfer Agent directly and instruct it to do so. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares regardless of whether they vote for or against the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date.

Through the DWAC system, this electronic delivery process can be accomplished by the shareholder, whether or not it is a record holder or its shares are held in “street name,” by contacting the transfer agent or its broker and requesting delivery of its shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and the Company’s transfer agent will need to act together to facilitate this request. There is a nominal cost associated with the above-referenced tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The transfer agent will typically charge the tendering broker $45 and the broker would determine whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming holder. It is the Company’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. The Company does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two (2) weeks to obtain a physical share certificate. Such shareholders will have less time to make their investment decision than those shareholders that deliver their shares through the DWAC system. Shareholders who request physical share certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

Certificates that have not been tendered in accordance with these procedures prior to the vote for the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal will not be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account. In the event that a Public Shareholder tenders such holder’s shares and decides prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting that it does not want to redeem its shares, the shareholder may withdraw the tender. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting not to redeem your shares, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed above. In the event that a Public Shareholder tenders shares and the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not approved or are abandoned, these shares will not be redeemed and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the shareholder promptly following the determination that the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal will not be approved or will be abandoned. The Company anticipates that a Public Shareholder who tenders shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares soon after the completion of the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal. The transfer agent will hold the certificates of Public Shareholders that make the election until such shares are redeemed for cash or returned to such shareholders.

If properly demanded, the Company will redeem each Public Share for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay taxes, less any income taxes owed on such funds but not yet paid, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Based on the amount in the Trust Account as of the Record Date of [●], this would amount to approximately $               per share. The closing price of the Public Shares on the Nasdaq on                       , 2024, was $             . Accordingly, if the market price were to remain the same until the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a Public Shareholder receiving approximately $         more per share than if such shareholder sold the Public Shares in the open market. The Company cannot assure Public Shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash and will no longer own such shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for such shares only if you properly demand redemption and tender your share certificate(s) to the Company’s Transfer Agent at least two (2) business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. If the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not approved or if they are abandoned, such shares will be returned promptly following the Extraordinary General Meeting as described above.

Interests of Global Lights’ Sponsor, Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our Board, you should keep in mind that our Sponsor, executive officers and members of our Board have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

Additionally, if the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is approved and we consummate an initial business combination, the Sponsor, and our officers and directors may have additional interests as will be described in the proxy statement for the business combination.

The Company’s directors, executive officers, its Sponsor, and their respective affiliates have waived their redemption rights with respect to the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and accordingly are not entitled to redeem the founder shares or ordinary shares underlying the Private Placement Units. In addition, Global Lights’ directors, executive officers and their affiliates may choose to buy Units or ordinary shares of Global Lights in the open market and/or through negotiated private purchases. In the event that purchases do occur, the purchasers may seek to purchase shares from shareholders who would otherwise have voted against the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal and elected to redeem their shares for a portion of the trust account. Any shares of Global Lights held by our Sponsor and its affiliates will be voted in favor of the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal.

Full Text of the Resolution

The resolution to be put to the shareholders to consider and to vote upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting in relation to Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution that, in the event that the Company wishes to extend the period of time to consummate a business combination, then for each three-month extension period implemented after the date of this Extraordinary General Meeting, the Sponsor (and/or an affiliate or designee of the Sponsor) shall deposit an amount equal to the lesser of lesser of (i) $350,000 for all remaining Public Shares and (ii) $0.10 for each remaining Public Share into the Trust Account established with the Company’s IPO (the “Trust Account”) on or before November 16, 2024 and February 16, 2025 and/or such later date as may be approved by the Company’s shareholders, be confirmed, adopted, approved and ratified in all respects.”

Required Vote

Approval of the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote and which are present (in person or by proxy) at the Extraordinary General Meeting and which voted on the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal. Abstentions, which are not votes cast, will have no effect with respect to approval of this Proposal.

All of Global Lights’ directors, executive officers and their affiliates are expected to vote any shares owned by them in favor of the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal. On the record date, our Sponsor and the directors and executive officers of Global Lights and their affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote 2,075,000 ordinary shares of Global Lights representing approximately 23.12% of Global Lights’ issued and outstanding ordinary shares. As the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal is not a “routine” matter, brokers will not be permitted to exercise discretionary voting on this proposal.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal. The Board expresses no opinion as to whether you should elect to redeem your Public Shares.

PROPOSAL 2 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will request the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting (who has agreed to act accordingly) to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to our shareholders in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve the Extension Fee Reduction Proposal (Proposal 1). If the adjournment proposal is not approved by our shareholders, it is agreed that the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting shall not adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve Proposal 1.

Full text of the Resolution

The affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares present (in person or by proxy) and voting on the Adjournment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be required to direct the chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve the Proposal 1. Abstentions will have no effect with respect to approval of this Adjournment Proposal. As this proposal is not a “routine” matter, brokers will not be permitted to exercise discretionary voting on this proposal.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Voting by Mail. You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage- paid envelope provided. By signing the proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the proxy card to vote your shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting in the manner you indicate. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your Ordinary Shares will be voted as recommended by the Board.

Voting by Internet. Shareholders who have received a copy of the proxy card by mail may be able to vote over the Internet by visiting the web address on the proxy card and entering the voter control number included on your proxy card.

You can also vote your shares in person by attending the Extraordinary Meeting and voting in person.

Voting Your Shares — Benef icial Owners

If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from Global Lights. Simply complete and mail the proxy card or voting information form to ensure that your vote is counted. You also may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. A large number of banks and brokerage firms offer Internet and telephone voting. If your bank or brokerage firm does not offer Internet or telephone voting information, please complete and return your proxy card or voting information form in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided. Shareholders who hold their shares in “street name” must either direct the record holder of their shares to vote their share or obtain a legal proxy from the record holder to vote their shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting. To vote yourself at the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend. Follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form.

Revocability of Proxies. Any proxy may be revoked by the person giving it at any time before the polls close at the Extraordinary General Meeting. A proxy may be revoked by filing with the Corporate Secretary, at Global Lights Acquisition Corp, Room 902, Unit 1, 8th Floor, Building 5, No. 201, Tangli Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100123, the People’s Republic of China, either a written notice of revocation bearing a date later than the date of such proxy or a subsequent proxy relating to the same shares or by attending the Extraordinary General Meeting and voting in person. Simply attending the Extraordinary General Meeting will not constitute a revocation of your proxy. If your shares are held in the name of a broker or other nominee who is the record holder, you must follow the instructions of your broker or other nominee to revoke a previously given proxy.

Other Business. The Company is not currently aware of any business to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting other than the matters discussed in this proxy statement. The form of proxy accompanying this proxy statement confers discretionary authority upon the named proxy holders with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and with respect to any other matters which may properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting. If other matters do properly come before the Extraordinary General Meeting, or at any adjournment(s) of the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company expects that the ordinary shares represented by properly submitted proxies will be voted by the proxy holders in accordance with the recommendations of our Board.

Principal Executive Offices. Our principal executive offices are located at Room 902, Unit 1, 8th Floor, Building 5, No. 201, Tangli Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100123, the People’s Republic of China.
