Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Class A Ordinary Shares"), and one-half of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company completed the private sale (the "Private Placement") of an aggregate of 7,150,000 Warrants (the "Private Placement Warrants"). 6,150,000 of the Private Placement Warrants were sold to IX Acquisition Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Sponsor") and an aggregate of 1,000,000 of the Private Placement Warrants were sold to Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. and Odeon Capital Group, LLC at a purchase price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $7,150,000.

A total of $231,150,000 of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were placed in a U.S.-based trust account at J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee.
