Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2024 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Issuer, the Sponsor, and the Reporting Person, the holders of the Founder Shares, the Private Units (and underlying securities) and any Working Capital Units (and underlying securities), including any securities of the Issuer issued as a dividend or other distribution with respect to or in exchange for or in replacement of such securities (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”), including the Reporting Person, are entitled to make up to three demands that the Issuer register such securities.
