As of September 30, 2024:

The Class A Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons are directly held by LMR Multi-Strategy Master Fund Limited (“LMR Master Fund”) and LMR CCSA Master Fund Ltd (“LMR CCSA Master Fund”). Each of LMR Master Fund and LMR CCSA Master Fund acquired 990,000 units of the Issuer’s securities (“Units”) in the Issuer’s initial public offering, with each Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and 1/2 of a warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share.
