("Non-Redemption Agreements") with several unaffiliated third parties in
exchange for them agreeing not to redeem an aggregate of 535,000 shares of the
Company sold in its initial public offering ("Non-Redeemed Shares") at the
special meeting called by the Company (the "Meeting") to approve an extension of
time for the Company to consummate an initial business combination (the
"Extension Proposal") from January 28, 2023 to July 28, 2023 (the "Extension").
In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such shares, the Sponsor

Company held by the Sponsor immediately following consummation of an initial
business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through

into Non-Redemption Agreements with several unaffiliated third parties and
agreed to transfer an aggregate of 363,848 shares of common stock to such

37,926,283 public shares exercised, and did not reverse, their right to redeem
