LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS OF KISMET ACQUISITION TWO CORP.

850 LIBRARY AVENUE, SUITE 204
NEWARK, DELAWARE 19715

TO BE HELD ON FEBRUARY 20, 2023

Dear Kismet Acquisition Two Corp. Shareholder:

You are cordially invited to attend an extraordinary general meeting of Kismet Acquisition Two Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), which will be held on February 20, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. You can participate in the meeting, vote, and submit questions via live webcast by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/kismetacquisitiontwo/2023. You will not be required to attend the meeting in person in order to vote, and we encourage virtual participation.

The attached Notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and proxy statement describe the business the Company will conduct at the Extraordinary General Meeting and provide information about the Company that you should consider when you vote your shares. As set forth in the attached proxy statement, the Extraordinary General Meeting will be held for the purpose of considering and voting on the following proposals:

1.      Proposal No. 1 — Extension Amendment Proposal — To amend, by way of special resolution, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the Memorandum and Articles of Association”) to give the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) the right to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (“Termination Date”) from February 22, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to April 22, 2023 and to allow the Board, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis up to seven (7) times for an additional one (1) month each time (as extended, the “Charter Extension”), until November 22, 2023 (as extended, the “Charter Extension Date”), or for a total of up to nine (9) months after the Original Termination Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Board) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”);

2.      Proposal No. 2Name Change Proposal — To change the Company’s name (the “Name Change”) from “Kismet Acquisition Two Corp.” to “Quadro Acquisition One Corp.” (the “Name Change Proposal”); and

3.      Proposal No. 3 — Adjournment Proposal — To adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary (the “Adjournment Proposal”).

Each of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement. Please take the time to read carefully each of the proposals in the accompanying proxy statement before you vote.

The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company additional time to complete an initial business combination (the “Business Combination”). The Company currently has until February 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to seek an extension of the Termination Date and have the Company’s shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal to allow additional time to consummate the Business Combination. Without the Charter Extension, the Company believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be precluded from completing the Business Combination and would be forced to liquidate on the Original Termination Date.

The purpose of the Name Change Proposal is to better reflect the Company’s new sponsor. On June 15, 2022, the Company’s prior sponsor, Kismet Sponsor Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Prior Sponsor”), transferred 6,250,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) and 4,400,000 private placement warrants of the Company (“Private Placement Warrants”) held by the Prior Sponsor to Quadro Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Prior Sponsor (the “Sponsor”). On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the Sponsor to Quadro IH DMCC, a company registered in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre in the United Arab Emirates (the “Sponsor Transaction”). In connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Board appointed Dimitri Elkin to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal financial and accounting officer.

 

Table of Contents

On January 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and collectively with Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) (the “Founder Conversion”). The 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor in connection with the Founder Conversion are referred to herein as the “Founder Shares.” The Founder Shares following the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. The Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

As contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares issued as part of the units sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds, including interest earned but net of taxes payable, held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established to hold a portion of the proceeds of the initial public offering (the “initial public offering”) and the concurrent sale of the Private Placement Warrants if the Charter Extension is implemented (the “Redemption”), regardless of how such public shareholders vote in regard to the Extension Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders (and not abandoned), the holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemption 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 the Business Combination.

On the Record Date (as defined below), the redemption price per share was approximately $10.14 (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting), based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $233.4 million as of the Record Date (including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. The closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Record Date was $10.08. Accordingly, if the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares were to remain the same until the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $0.06 more per share than if the shares were sold in the open market. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Class A Ordinary 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. The Company believes that such redemption right enables its public shareholders to determine whether or not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date.

Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, the Sponsor or its designees has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (i) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $120,000 or (b) $0.08 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for the portion of the Extension ending on April 22, 2023 (the “Initial Contribution”); plus, (ii) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $60,000 per month or (b) $0.04 per month for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until the Charter Extension Date (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete a Business Combination (such loans, together with the Initial Contribution, the “Contribution”), which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after the Redemption and the length of the extension period that will be needed to complete the Business Combination. If more than 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if we need until November 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of our Public Shares remain outstanding in connection with the Charter Extension, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.02 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000. However, if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 of our Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.36 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000.

Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Initial Contribution amount will be deposited into the Trust Account promptly following the Original Termination Date and no later than March 1, 2023. Each additional monthly Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 22nd day of such calendar month. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and we need until the Charter Extension Date, which is the full amount of time permitted by the Charter Extension, to complete the Business Combination, the

 

Table of Contents

redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.16 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if all of our Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions, or approximately $10.50 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.14 per share (which amount includes interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes). Any Contribution is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. No Contribution will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or if the Charter Extension is not completed. The amount of each Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. We will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Charter Extension Date. If we opt not to utilize any remaining portion of the extension, then we will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with our articles of association.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, February 22, 2023, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the 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 its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Subject to the foregoing, the approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the holders of Ordinary Shares, voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares present themselves or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will be put forth for a vote if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Board has fixed the close of business on January 5, 2023 (the “Record Date”) as the date for determining the Company’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

The Company believes that it is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders that the Company obtains the Charter Extension and Name Change if needed. After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, has declared it advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing detailed information about the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Company urges you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

The Company currently has until February 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company to seek an extension of the Original Termination Date and have the Company’s shareholders approve the Extension Amendment Proposal to allow for a short period of additional time to consummate the Business Combination.

The purpose of the Name Change Proposal is to better reflect the Company’s new sponsor. On June 15, 2022, the Company’s prior sponsor, Kismet Sponsor Limited, a British Virgin Islands company (“Prior Sponsor”), transferred 6,250,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”) and 4,400,000 private placement warrants of the Company (“Private Placement Warrants”) held by the Prior Sponsor to Quadro Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of the Prior Sponsor (the “Sponsor”). On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the Sponsor to Quadro IH DMCC, a company registered in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre in the United Arab Emirates (the “Sponsor Transaction”). In connection with the Sponsor Transaction, the Board appointed Dimitri Elkin to serve as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and principal financial and accounting officer.

On January 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 6,250,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” and collectively with Class B Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) (the “Founder Conversion”). The 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued to the Sponsor in connection with the Founder Conversion are referred to herein as the “Founder Shares.” The Founder Shares following the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. The Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

As contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares issued as part of the units (the “Units”) sold in the Company’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds, including interest earned but net of taxes payable, held in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) established to hold a portion of the proceeds of the initial public offering (the “initial public offering”) and the concurrent sale of the Private Placement Warrants, if the Charter Extension is implemented (the “Redemption”), regardless of how such public shareholders vote in regard to the Extension Amendment Proposal. If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved by the requisite vote of shareholders (and not abandoned), holders of Public Shares remaining after the Redemption 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.

On the Record Date (as defined below), the redemption price per share was approximately $10.14 (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting), based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of $233.4 million as of the Record Date (including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. The closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Record Date was $10.08. Accordingly, if the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares were to remain the same until the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $0.06 more per share than if the shares were sold in the open market. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Class A Ordinary 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. The Company believes that such redemption right enables its public shareholders to determine whether or not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date.

Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension. In addition, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account following the Redemption if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account, may be only a small fraction of the approximately $233.4 million that was in the Trust Account as of the Record Date.

Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, the Sponsor or its designees has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (i) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $120,000 or (b) $0.08 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for the portion of the Extension ending on April 22, 2023 (the “Initial Contribution”); plus, (ii) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $60,000 per month or (b) $0.04 per month for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until the Charter Extension Date (each, an “Extension Period”), or portion thereof, that is needed to complete a Business Combination

(such loans, together with the Initial Contribution, the “Contribution”), which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after the Redemption and the length of the extension period that will be needed to complete the Business Combination. If more than 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if we need until November 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of our Public Shares remain outstanding in connection with the Charter Extension, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.02 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000. However, if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 of our Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.36 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000.

Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Initial Contribution amount will be deposited into the Trust Account promptly following the Original Termination Date and no later than March 1, 2023. Each additional monthly Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 22nd day of such calendar month. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and we need until the Charter Extension Date, which is the full amount of time permitted by the Charter Extension, to complete the Business Combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.16 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if all of our Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions, or approximately $10.50 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.14 per share (which amount includes interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes). Any Contribution is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. No Contribution will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or if the Charter Extension is not completed. The amount of each Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. We will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Charter Extension Date. If we opt not to utilize any remaining portion of the extension, then we will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with our articles of association.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, and the Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, February 22, 2023, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the 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 its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

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

Subject to the foregoing, the approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by of those holders of Ordinary Shares, voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares present themselves or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The Adjournment Proposal, if adopted, will allow our Board to adjourn the Meeting

to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies. The Adjournment Proposal will be put forth for a vote if there are not sufficient votes to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Record holders of Ordinary Shares at the close of business on January 5, 2023 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote or have their votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Some of the statements contained in this proxy statement constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to, among other things, the Company’s capital resources and results of operations. Likewise, the Company’s financial statements and all of the Company’s statements regarding market conditions and results of operations are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of terminology such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words or phrases.

The forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement reflect the Company’s current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause its actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

        the Company’s ability to complete the Business Combination;

        the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination;

        the volatility of the market price and liquidity of the Class A Ordinary Shares and other securities of the Company; and

        the use of funds not held in the Trust Account or available to the Company from interest income on the Trust Account balance.

While forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this proxy statement, except as required by applicable law. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the Company’s future results, performance or transactions to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2022, the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on May 9, 2022, August 15, 2022 and November 14, 2022 and in other reports the Company files with the SEC. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to the Company (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this proxy statement and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the Extraordinary General Meeting and the proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to the Company’s shareholders. Shareholders are urged to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including Annex A and the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposal to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting and the voting procedures for the Extraordinary General Meeting, which will be held on February 20, 2023, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. We will also be hosting the Extraordinary General Meeting via live webcast on the Internet. You will not be required to attend the meeting in person in order to vote, and we encourage virtual participation. You can participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting, vote, and submit questions via live webcast by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/kismetacquisitiontwo/2023.

Q:     Why am I receiving this proxy statement?

A:     The Company is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 15, 2020 for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, entering into contractual arrangements with, or engaging in any other similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities. On February 22, 2021, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 23,000,000 Units, each consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-third (1/3) of one redeemable warrant to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, generating an aggregate amount of gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company consummated the private placement of an aggregate of 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $6,600,000. The total offering generated an aggregate amount of gross proceeds of $234,600,000 to the Company.

Like most blank check companies, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for the return of the initial public offering proceeds held in trust to the holders of Public Shares sold in the initial public offering if there is no qualifying Business Combination(s) consummated on or before the Termination Date.

The Company believes that it is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders to continue the Company’s existence until the Charter Extension Date if necessary in order to allow the Company additional time to complete the Business Combination and is therefore holding this Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:     When and where is the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at the offices of Ellenoff Grossman & Schole LLP located at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10105.

Q:     Can I attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person?

If you do not have a voter control number, you will be able to listen to the meeting only and you will not be able to vote or submit questions during the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q:     What are the specific proposals on which I am being asked to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The Company’s shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:

1.      Proposal No. 1 — Extension Amendment Proposal — To amend, by way of special resolution, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to give the Board the right to extend the Termination Date from February 22, 2023 to April 22, 2023 and to allow the Board, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date on a monthly basis up to seven (7) times for an additional one (1) month each time, until November 22, 2023, or for a total of up to nine (9) months after the Original Termination Date (or such earlier date as determined by the Board);

2.      Proposal No. 2Name Change Proposal — To change the Company’s name from “Kismet Acquisition Two Corp.” to “Quadro Acquisition One Corp.”; and

3.      Proposal No. 3 — Adjournment Proposal — To adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary.

Q:     Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A:     Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension. In addition, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

If the Charter Extension is implemented and one or more of the Company’s shareholders elect to redeem their Public Shares pursuant to the Redemption, the Company will remove from the Trust Account and deliver to the holders of such redeemed Public Shares an amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds, including interest earned but net of taxes payable, available in the Trust Account with respect to such redeemed Public Shares, and retain the remainder of the funds in the Trust Account for the Company’s use in connection with consummating the Business Combination on or before the Charter Extension Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension is implemented, the removal from the Trust Account of the amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account with respect to such redeemed Public Shares will reduce the Company’s net asset value. The Company cannot predict the amount that will remain in the Trust Account following the Redemption if the Charter Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension is implemented, and the amount remaining in the Trust Account may be only a small fraction of the approximately $233.4 million that was in the Trust Account as of the Record Date. In addition, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, the Sponsor or its designees has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (i) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $120,000 or (b) $0.08 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for the portion of the Extension ending on April 22, 2023; plus, (ii) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $60,000 per month or (b) $0.04 per month for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until the Charter Extension Date, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete a Business Combination, which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after the Redemption and the length of the extension period that will be needed to complete the Business Combination. If more than 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if we need until November 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of our Public

3

Table of Contents

Shares remain outstanding in connection with the Charter Extension, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.02 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000. However, if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 of our Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.36 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000.

Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Initial Contribution amount will be deposited into the Trust Account promptly following the Original Termination Date and no later than March 1, 2023. Each additional monthly Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 22nd day of such calendar month. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and we need until the Charter Extension Date, which is the full amount of time permitted by the Charter Extension, to complete the Business Combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.16 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if all of our Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions, or approximately $10.50 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.14 per share (which amount includes interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes). Any Contribution is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. No Contribution will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or if the Charter Extension is not completed. The amount of each Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. We will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Charter Extension Date. If we opt not to utilize any remaining portion of the extension, then we will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with our articles of association.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, and the Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, February 22, 2023, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the 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 its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor has waived its rights to participate in any liquidating distribution with respect to its 6,250,000 Founder Shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.

The Name Change Proposal will not be presented if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of either of the other two proposals. If either the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Charter Extension or the Name Change.

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal?

A:     The Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide for the return of the initial public offering proceeds held in trust to the holders of Public Shares sold in the initial public offering if there is no qualifying Business Combination consummated on or before the Original Termination Date. The purpose of the Extension Amendment Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal, is to allow the Company additional time to complete the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Without the Charter Extension, the Company believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be forced to liquidate on the Original Termination Date.

If either the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Charter Extension or the Name Change. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the other proposals.

Q:     Why is the Company proposing the Name Change Proposal?

A:     The purpose of the Name Change Proposal is to better reflect the Company’s new sponsor in connection with the Sponsor Transaction.

Q:     What vote is required to approve the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by of those holders of the Ordinary Shares, voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares present themselves or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

A shareholder of the Company who attends the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by sending its duly authorized representative or proxy), will be counted (and the number of Ordinary Shares held by such shareholder will be counted) for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy or by duly authorized representative, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of one-third of all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, only those votes which are actually cast, either “FOR” or “AGAINST”, the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, will be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal (as the case may be) are approved, and any Ordinary Shares which are not voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of such votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:     Why should I vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal?

A:     The Company believes shareholders will benefit from the Company consummating the Business Combination and is proposing the Extension Amendment Proposal to extend the date by which the Company has to complete the Business Combination until the Charter Extension Date. Without the Charter Extension, the Company believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be forced to liquidate on the Original Termination Date.

Q:     Why should I vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal?

A:     If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved by the Company’s shareholders, the Board may not be able to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal.

If presented, the Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal.

Table of Contents

Q:     Why should I vote “FOR” the Name Change Proposal?

A:     The Company is proposing the Name Change Amendment to better reflect the Company’s new sponsor in connection with the Sponsor Transaction. The Name Change Proposal will not be presented if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved.

The Board recommends that you vote in favor of the Name Change Proposal.

Q:     How will the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers vote?

A:     The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers have advised the Company that they intend to vote any Ordinary Shares over which they have voting control in favor of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal and, if necessary, the Adjournment Proposal.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers and their respective affiliates are not entitled to redeem any Class B Ordinary Shares or Class A Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. On the Record Date, the Sponsor and the Company’s directors and officers and their respective affiliates beneficially owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 21.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

In addition, the Sponsor may enter into arrangements with a limited number of shareholders pursuant to which such shareholders would agree not to redeem the Public Shares beneficially owned by them in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. The Sponsor may provide such shareholders either Company securities or membership interests in the Sponsor pursuant to such arrangements.

Q:     What if I do not want to vote “FOR” the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal?

A:     If you do not want the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal to be approved, you may “ABSTAIN”, not vote, or vote “AGAINST” such proposal.

If you attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy, you may vote “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, and your Ordinary Shares will be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal (as the case may be) are approved.

However, if you fail to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy, or if you do attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person or by proxy but you “ABSTAIN” or otherwise fail to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, your Ordinary Shares will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal (as the case may be) are approved, and your Ordinary Shares which are not voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of such votes.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented for a vote.

Q:     Will you seek any further extensions to liquidate the Trust Account?

A:     Other than as described in this proxy statement, the Company does not currently anticipate seeking any further extension to consummate a Business Combination beyond the Charter Extension Date.

Q:     What happens if the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal is not approved?

A:     If there are insufficient votes to approve either the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal, the Company may put the Adjournment Proposal to a vote in order to seek additional time to obtain sufficient votes in support of the Charter Extension or the Name Change.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting or at any adjournment thereof and the Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, then as contemplated by and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not

6

Table of Contents

more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the 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 its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor has waived its rights to participate in any liquidating distribution with respect to its 6,250,000 Founder Shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.

The Name Change Proposal will not be presented if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved.

Q:     If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, what happens next?

A:     If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company will continue to attempt to consummate the Business Combination until the Charter Extension Date. The Company will file an amendment to its Memorandum and Articles of Association with Cayman Islands in substantially the form that appears in Annex A hereto and will continue its efforts to obtain approval of the Business Combination at an extraordinary general meeting and consummate the closing of the Business Combination on or before the Charter Extension Date.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Charter Extension is implemented, the removal from the Trust Account of the amount equal to the pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account with respect to such redeemed Public Shares will reduce the amount remaining in the Trust Account and increase the percentage interest of the Company held by the Company’s officers, directors, the Sponsor and its affiliates. In addition, the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the Company cannot redeem or repurchase Public Shares to the extent such redemption would result in the Company’s failure to have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets. As a result, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, the Sponsor or its designees has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (i) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $120,000 or (b) $0.08 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for the portion of the Extension ending on April 22, 2023; plus, (ii) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $60,000 per month or (b) $0.04 per month for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until the Charter Extension Date, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete a Business Combination, which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after the Redemption and the length of the extension period that will be needed to complete the Business Combination. If more than 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if we need until November 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of our Public Shares remain outstanding in connection with the Charter Extension, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.02 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000. However, if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 of our Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.36 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000.

Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Initial Contribution amount will be deposited into the Trust Account promptly following the Original Termination Date and no later than March 1, 2023. Each additional monthly Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 22nd day of such calendar month. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and we need until the Charter Extension Date, which is the full amount of time permitted by the Charter Extension, to complete the Business Combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.16 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if all of

7

Table of Contents

our Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions, or approximately $10.50 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.14 per share (which amount includes interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes). Any Contribution is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. No Contribution will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or if the Charter Extension is not completed. The amount of each Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. We will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Charter Extension Date. If we opt not to utilize any remaining portion of the extension, then we will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with our articles of association.

Notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment at any time without any further action by our shareholders.

Q:     If I vote for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal, do I need to request that my shares be redeemed?

A:     Yes. Whether you vote for or against the Extension Amendment Proposal, or do not vote at all, you may elect to redeem your shares. However, you will need to submit a redemption request for your shares if you choose to redeem.

Q:     Will how I vote affect my ability to exercise Redemption rights?

A:     No. You may exercise your Redemption rights whether or not you are a holder of Public Shares on the Record Date (so long as you are a holder at the time of exercise), or whether you are a holder and vote your Public Shares on the Extension Amendment Proposal (for or against) or any other proposal described by this proxy statement. As a result, the Charter Extension can be approved by shareholders who will redeem their Public Shares and no longer remain shareholders, leaving shareholders who choose not to redeem their Public Shares holding shares in a company with a potentially less liquid trading market, fewer shareholders, potentially less cash and the potential inability to meet the listing standards of the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Q:     May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A:     Yes. You may change your vote by:

        entering a new vote by Internet or telephone;

        sending a later-dated, signed proxy card to Kismet Acquisition Two Corp., 850 Library Avenue, Suite 204, Newark, Delaware 19715, Attn: Dimitri Elkin, Chief Executive Officer, so that it is received by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on or before the Extraordinary General Meeting; or

        attending and voting, virtually via the Internet, during the Extraordinary General Meeting.

You also may revoke your proxy by sending a notice of revocation to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, which must be received by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer on or before the Extraordinary General Meeting. Attending the Extraordinary General Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.

Q:     How are votes counted?

A:     Votes will be counted by the inspector of election appointed for the Extraordinary General Meeting, who will separately count “FOR” and “AGAINST” votes, “ABSTAIN” and broker non-votes. The approval of each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by of those holders of Ordinary Shares, voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by the holders of the Ordinary Shares present themselves or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

Shareholders who attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by sending their duly authorized representative or proxy), will be counted (and the number of Ordinary Shares held by such shareholders will be counted) for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy or by duly authorized representative, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of one-third of all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, only those votes which are actually cast, either “FOR” or “AGAINST”, the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, will be counted for the purposes of determining whether each of the proposals is approved, and any Ordinary Shares which are not voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of such votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals.

Q:    If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A:     No. Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to non-discretionary matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank, or nominee. The Company believes that all of the proposals presented to the shareholders at this Extraordinary General Meeting will be considered non-discretionary and, therefore, your broker, bank, or nominee cannot vote your shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you do not provide instructions with your proxy card, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares. This indication that a broker, bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of any vote on any of the proposals.

Q:     What constitutes a quorum at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The holders of one-third of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote as of the Record Date at the Extraordinary General Meeting must be present, in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a holder which is a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy), at the Extraordinary General Meeting to constitute a quorum and in order to conduct business at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present for the purpose of determining a quorum. The Sponsor, who beneficially owns approximately 21.4% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares, will count towards this quorum. As a result, in addition to the Sponsor’s Ordinary Shares, as of the Record Date, 3,500,000 Class A Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

Q:     How do I vote?

A:     If you were a holder of record of Ordinary Shares on January 5, 2023, the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may vote with respect to the proposal yourself at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided.

Voting by Mail.    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. You are encouraged to sign and return the proxy card even if you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you receive more than one proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on February 20, 2023.

Q:     Does the Board recommend voting “FOR” the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal?

A:     Yes. After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal, the Board has determined that the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Name Change Proposal.

Additionally, the Board has determined that the Adjournment Proposal is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders and recommends that the Company’s shareholders vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Q:     What interests do the Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have in the approval of the proposals?

A:     The Company’s Sponsor, directors and officers have interests in the proposals that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among others, ownership, directly or indirectly through the Sponsor, of Ordinary Shares and Private Placement Warrants. See the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Interests of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers” in this proxy statement.

Q:     Do I have appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights if I object to the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal?

A:     No. There are no appraisal rights available to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal or the Name Change Proposal.

Q:     If I am a Public Warrant holder, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my Public Warrants?

A:     No. The holders of warrants issued in connection with the Company’s initial public offering, which are exercisable for one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Class A Ordinary Share (the “Public Warrants”) upon consummation of the Business Combination, have no redemption rights with respect to such Public Warrants.

Q:     What do I need to do now?

A:     You are urged to read carefully and consider the information contained in this proxy statement, including Annex A, and to consider how each of the proposals will affect you as a shareholder. You should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement and on the enclosed proxy card or, if you hold your shares through a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, on the voting instruction form provided by the broker, bank or nominee.

Q:     How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A:     In connection with the Charter Extension Amendment Proposal and contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Charter Extension, the Company’s shareholders may seek to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described in the final prospectus dated February 20, 2021, filed in connection with the Company’s initial public offering.

Table of Contents

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must, on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 16, 2023 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, the Company’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

Shareholders of the Company seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. It is the Company’s understanding that its shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, the Company does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

Shareholders of the Company seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” are required to either tender their certificates to the transfer agent prior to the date set forth in this proxy statement, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using the DTC’s DWAC system, at such shareholder’s option. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting ensures that a redeeming shareholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved.

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 a tendering broker a fee and it is in the broker’s discretion whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. However, this fee would be incurred regardless of whether or not shareholders seeking to exercise redemption rights are required to tender their shares, as the need to deliver shares is a requirement to exercising redemption rights, regardless of the timing of when such delivery must be effectuated.

Q:     What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials for the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     You may receive more than one set of voting materials for the Extraordinary General Meeting, including multiple copies of this proxy statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast your vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q:     Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A:     The Company will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has engaged Advantage Proxy (“Advantage”) to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Advantage a fee of $7,500. The Company will also reimburse Advantage for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. In addition, the Company will reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Class A Ordinary Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Class A Ordinary Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. The directors, officers and employees of the Company may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail or on the Internet. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

In addition, the Company has engaged EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) to render financial advisory and investment banking services to the Company in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay EBC a cash fee upon implementation of the Charter Extension equal to $250,000. The Company will also reimburse EBC up to $10,000 for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) in connection with the performance of its services in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, whether the Charter Extension is implemented or not.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully all of the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 31, 2022, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 9, 2022, August 15, 2022 and November 14, 2022, and in the other reports we file with the SEC before making a decision to invest in our securities. Furthermore, if any of the following events 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 the aforementioned filings and below 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.

There are no assurances that the Charter Extension will enable us to complete the Business Combination.

Approving the Charter Extension involves a number of risks. Even if the Charter Extension is approved, the Company can provide no assurances that the Business Combination will be consummated prior to the Charter Extension Date. Our ability to consummate any Business Combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control. If the Charter Extension is approved, the Company expects to seek stockholder approval of the Business Combination. We are required to offer stockholders the opportunity to redeem shares in connection with the Extension Amendment, and we will be required to offer stockholders redemption rights again in connection with any stockholder vote to approve the Business Combination. Even if the Charter Extension or the Business Combination are approved by our stockholders, it is possible that redemptions will leave us with insufficient cash to consummate a Business Combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. The fact that we will have separate redemption periods in connection with the Charter Extension and the Business Combination vote could exacerbate these risks. Other than in connection with a redemption offer or liquidation, our stockholders may be unable to recover their investment except through sales of our shares on the open market. The price of our shares may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that stockholders will be able to dispose of our shares at favorable prices, or at all.

Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination.

We are subject to the laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and, potentially, non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of the Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and any post-Business Combination company may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination. The SEC has, in the past year, adopted certain rules and may, in the future adopt other rules, which may have a material effect on our activities and on our ability to consummate the Business Combination, including the SPAC Rule Proposals described below.

In March 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules relating to certain activities of special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”). Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such proposals may increase our costs and the time needed to complete the Business Combination and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete the Business Combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose.

On March 30, 2022, the SEC issued proposed rules (the “SPAC Rule Proposals”) relating, among other things, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with Business Combination transactions between SPACs such as us and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; the

13

Table of Contents

potential liability of certain participants in proposed Business Combination transactions; and the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), including a proposed rule that would provide SPACs a safe harbor from treatment as an investment company if they satisfy certain conditions that limit a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities. The SPAC Rule Proposals have not yet been adopted, and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements on SPACs. Certain of the procedures that we, a potential Business Combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rule Proposals, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Rule Proposals, may increase the costs and time of negotiating and completing the Business Combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete the Business Combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rule Proposals may cause us to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate the Company at an earlier time than we might otherwise choose. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

If we are deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete the Business Combination and instead liquidate the Company.

As described further above, the SPAC Rule Proposals relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs such as the Company could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. The SPAC Rule Proposals would provide a safe harbor for such companies from the definition of “investment company” under Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act, provided that a SPAC satisfies certain criteria, including a limited time period to announce and complete a de-SPAC transaction. Specifically, to comply with the safe harbor, the SPAC Rule Proposals would require a company to file a report on Form 8-K announcing that it has entered into an agreement with a target company for a business combination no later than 18 months after the effective date of its registration statement for its initial public offering (the “IPO Registration Statement”). The company would then be required to complete its initial business combination no later than 24 months after the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete the Business Combination and instead liquidate the Company. Were we to liquidate, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

To mitigate the risk that we might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, we expect that we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of our IPO Registration Statement, instruct the trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or our liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, we would likely receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since our initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we expect that we will, on or prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of our IPO Registration Statement, instruct Continental, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial Business

Table of Contents

Combination or the liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, we would likely receive less interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to us to pay our taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank would reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company.

In addition, even prior to the 24-month anniversary of the effective date of the IPO Registration Statement, we may be deemed to be an investment company. The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, even prior to the 24-month anniversary, the greater the risk that we may be deemed to be an unregistered investment company, in which case we may be required to liquidate the Company. Accordingly, we may determine, in our discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank, which would further reduce the dollar amount our public stockholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of the Company. Were we to liquidate the Company, our warrants would expire worthless, and our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

We may not be able to complete the Business Combination with certain potential target companies if a proposed transaction with the target company may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations.

Certain acquisitions or Business Combinations may be subject to review or approval by regulatory authorities pursuant to certain U.S. or foreign laws or regulations. In the event that such regulatory approval or clearance is not obtained, or the review process is extended beyond the period of time that would permit the Business Combination to be consummated with us, we may not be able to consummate the Business Combination with such target. In addition, regulatory considerations may decrease the pool of potential target companies we may be willing or able to consider.

Among other things, the U.S. Federal Communications Act prohibits foreign individuals, governments, and corporations from owning more than a specified percentage of the capital stock of a broadcast, common carrier, or aeronautical radio station licensee. In addition, U.S. law currently restricts foreign ownership of U.S. airlines. In the United States, certain mergers that may affect competition may require certain filings and review by the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission, and investments or acquisitions that may affect national security are subject to review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”). CFIUS is an interagency committee authorized to review certain transactions involving foreign investment in the United States by foreign persons in order to determine the effect of such transactions on the national security of the United States.

Outside the United States, laws or regulations may affect our ability to consummate the Business Combination with potential target companies incorporated or having business operations in jurisdictions where national security considerations, involvement in regulated industries (including telecommunications), or in businesses where a country’s culture or heritage may be implicated. Our Sponsor is 50% owned and co-managed by Quadro IH DMCC, a company registered in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre in the UAE. Quadro IH DMCC is controlled by Giedrius Pukas, a citizen of Lithuania.

U.S. and foreign regulators generally have the power to deny the ability of the parties to consummate a transaction or to condition approval of a transaction on specified terms and conditions, which may not be acceptable to us or a target. In such event, we may not be able to consummate a transaction with that potential target.

As a result of these various restrictions, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete the Business Combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other SPACs that do not have similar ownership issues. Moreover, the process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because we have only a limited time to complete the Business Combination, our failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public stockholders may only receive $10.00 per share, or less in certain circumstances, and our warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

Since the Sponsor and the Company’s affiliates will lose their entire investment in the Company if the Business Combination is not completed, they may have a conflict of interest in the approval of the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred to the Sponsor (i) the 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which were acquired by the Prior Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and (ii) 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants, which were acquired by the Prior Sponsor simultaneously with the initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the Sponsor to Quadro IH DMCC. On January 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. The Founder Shares following the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. The Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, the 6,250,000 Founder Shares held by the Sponsor will be worthless (as the holders have waived liquidation rights with respect to such shares), as will the 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants. See the section entitled “The Extraordinary General Meeting — Interests of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers.” The personal and financial interests of our Sponsor, officers, directors, and their affiliates may influence their motivation in identifying and selecting a target for the Business Combination and consummating the Business Combination therefore may have interests different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder in connection with the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Shareholders who attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, either in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by sending their duly authorized representative or proxy), will be counted (and the number of Ordinary Shares held by such shareholders will be counted) for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy or by duly authorized representative, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of the holders of one-third of all issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting shall constitute a quorum for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, only those votes which are actually cast, either “FOR” or “AGAINST”, the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Name Change Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, will be counted for the purposes of determining whether each of the proposals is approved, and any Ordinary Shares which are not voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting will have no effect on the outcome of such votes. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast and will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on any of the proposals.

It is possible that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination by the Charter Extension Date if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved. In such event, the Company will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders.

No Additional Matters

The Extraordinary General Meeting has been called only to consider and vote on the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the Memorandum and Articles of Association, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Extraordinary General Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement, which serves as the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Who Can Answer Your Questions about Voting

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your Class A Ordinary Shares, you may call Advantage, the Company’s proxy solicitor, at (877) 870-8565 or banks and brokers can call at (206) 870-8565.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Charter Extension, each public shareholder may seek to redeem its Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, including interest earned but net of taxes payable. If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. However, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

        on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 16, 2023 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC’s DWAC system to the transfer agent at least two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. Shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” are required to either tender their certificates to the transfer agent prior to the date set forth in this proxy statement, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, at such shareholder’s option.

Each redemption of a Public Share by the Company’s public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of $10.14 as of the Record Date. Prior to their exercising redemption rights, shareholders of the Company should verify the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares, as shareholders may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. There is no assurance that you will be able to sell your 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 the Class A Ordinary Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

20

Table of Contents

If you exercise your redemption rights, your Public Shares will cease to be outstanding and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account.

You will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, the Company will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and all of the Company’s warrants will expire worthless.

Appraisal Rights

There are no appraisal rights available to the Company’s shareholders in connection with any of the proposals.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

The Company is soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board. This proxy solicitation is being made by mail, but also may be made by telephone or on the Internet. The Company has engaged Advantage to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay Advantage a fee of $7,500. The Company will also reimburse Advantage for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will indemnify Advantage and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. The Company and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies on the Internet. The Company will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward this proxy statement and the related proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions.

The Company will bear the entire cost of the proxy solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, mailing and distribution of this proxy statement and the related proxy materials. The Company will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding this proxy statement and the related proxy materials to the Company’s shareholders. Directors, officers and employees of the Company who solicit proxies will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting.

In addition, the Company has engaged EBC to render financial advisory and investment banking services to the Company in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Company has agreed to pay EBC a cash fee upon implementation of the Charter Extension equal to $250,000. The Company will also reimburse EBC up to $10,000 for its reasonable costs and expenses incurred (including the fees and disbursements of its counsel) in connection with the performance of its services in connection with the Extraordinary General Meeting, whether the Charter Extension is implemented or not.

Interests of the Sponsor, Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of the Board, the Company’s shareholders should be aware that aside from their interests as shareholders, the Sponsor, certain members of the Board and officers of the Company have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of other shareholders generally. The Board was aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in recommending to the Company’s shareholders that they approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. Shareholders of the Company should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal:

        the fact that the Sponsor holds, and our Chief Executive Officer beneficially owns, 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants, all of which would expire worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated;

        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed not to redeem any Ordinary Shares held by it in connection with a shareholder vote to approve the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any of the 6,250,000 Founder Shares held by it if the Company fails to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date, and the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved;

21

Table of Contents

        the fact that, at the option of the Sponsor, any amounts outstanding under any loans made by the Sponsor or any of its affiliates to the Company in an aggregate amount up to $1,500,000 may be converted into warrants that are identical to the Private Placement Warrants at the option of the lender;

        the fact that the Sponsor holds a promissory note in the principal amount of up to $400,000 issued in connection with working capital loans made by the Sponsor, of which approximately $319,000 was outstanding as of September 30, 2022;

        the fact that through the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, the Company agreed to pay its directors $40,000 each (one director has waived his right to such compensation) and granted each of the independent directors an option to purchase 40,000 Class A Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, which will not vest if the Business Combination is not consummated;

        the continued indemnification of the Company’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of the Company’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination;

        the fact that the Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in the Company and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if the Business Combination is not consummated on or before the Original Termination Date, and the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved; and

        the fact that the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Company consummates the Business Combination, the officers and directors may have additional interests. Such interests will be described in the proxy statement/prospectus for such transaction.

PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Company is proposing to amend its Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination to the Charter Extension Date so as to give the Company additional time to complete the Business Combination. A copy of the proposed amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company is attached to this proxy statement as part of Annex A.

Additionally, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and implemented, the Sponsor or its designees has agreed to contribute to the Company as a loan (i) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $120,000 or (b) $0.08 for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for the portion of the Extension ending on April 22, 2023; plus, (ii) the lesser of (a) an aggregate of $60,000 per month or (b) $0.04 per month for each Public Share that is not redeemed in connection with the Charter Extension for each subsequent calendar month (commencing on April 22, 2023 and on the 22nd day of each subsequent month) until the Charter Extension Date, or portion thereof, that is needed to complete a Business Combination, which amount will be deposited into the Trust Account. Accordingly, the amount deposited per share will depend on the number of Public Shares that remain outstanding after the Redemption and the length of the extension period that will be needed to complete the Business Combination. If more than 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount paid per share will be reduced proportionately. For example, if we need until November 22, 2023 to complete the Business Combination, no Public Shares are redeemed and all of our Public Shares remain outstanding in connection with the Charter Extension, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.02 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000. However, if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 of our Public Shares remain outstanding after the Redemption, then the amount deposited per share will be approximately $0.36 per share, with the aggregate maximum contribution to the Trust Account being $540,000.

Assuming the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Initial Contribution amount will be deposited into the Trust Account promptly following the Original Termination Date and no later than March 1, 2023. Each additional monthly Contribution will be deposited in the Trust Account on or before the 22nd day of such calendar month. Accordingly, if the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and we need until the Charter Extension Date, which is the full amount of time permitted by the Charter Extension, to complete the Business Combination, the redemption amount per share at the meeting for such business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.16 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if all of our Public Shares remain outstanding after redemptions, or approximately $10.50 per share (plus any applicable interest accrued) if 21,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed and 1,500,000 Public Shares remain outstanding, in comparison to the current redemption amount of $10.14 per share (which amount includes interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes). Any Contribution is conditioned upon the implementation of the Extension Amendment Proposal. No Contribution will occur if the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved or if the Charter Extension is not completed. The amount of each Contribution will not bear interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor or its designees upon consummation of the Business Combination. We will have the sole discretion whether to continue extending for additional calendar months until the Charter Extension Date. If we opt not to utilize any remaining portion of the extension, then we will liquidate and dissolve promptly in accordance with our articles of association.

Without the Charter Extension, the Company believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be forced to liquidate on the Original Termination Date.

As contemplated by the Memorandum and Articles of Association, the holders of the Company’s Public Shares may elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account if the Charter Extension is implemented.

On the Record Date, the redemption price per share was approximately $10.14 (which is expected to be the same approximate amount two business days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting), based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $233.4 million as of the Record Date (including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes), divided by the total number of then outstanding Public Shares. The closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on the Record Date was $10.08. Accordingly, if the market price of the Class A Ordinary Shares were to remain the same until the date of the Extraordinary General

Table of Contents

Meeting, exercising redemption rights would result in a public shareholder receiving approximately $0.06 more per share than if the stock was sold in the open market. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Class A Ordinary 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. The Company believes that such redemption right enables its public shareholders to determine whether or not to sustain their investments for an additional period if the Company does not complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date.

Reasons for the Extension Amendment Proposal

The Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that the Company has until the Original Termination Date to complete the Business Combination. The Company and its officers and directors agreed that they would not seek to amend the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to allow for a longer period of time to complete the Business Combination unless the Company provided holders of its Public Shares with the right to seek redemption of their Public Shares in connection therewith. The Board believes that it is in the best interests of the Company’s shareholders that the Charter Extension be obtained so that the Company will have a limited additional amount of time to consummate the Business Combination. Without the Charter Extension, the Company believes that the Company will not be able to complete the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date. If that were to occur, the Company would be forced to liquidate on the Original Termination Date.

The Extension Amendment Proposal is essential to allowing the Company additional time to consummate the Business Combination. Approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal is a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension. The Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved and the Business Combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, then, as contemplated by and in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association, 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 subject to lawfully available funds therefor, redeem 100% of the 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 its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish rights of the holders of Public Shares (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The Sponsor has waived its rights to participate in any liquidating distribution with respect to its 6,250,000 Founder Shares. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event the Company dissolves and liquidates the Trust Account.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is Approved

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company intends to file an amendment to the Memorandum and Articles of Association in the form of Annex A hereto to extend the time it has to complete the Business Combination until the Charter Extension Date. The Company will then continue to attempt to consummate the Business Combination until the Charter Extension Date. The Company will remain a reporting company under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and expect that our Units, Class A Ordinary Shares and Public Warrants will remain publicly traded during this time.

In addition, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

Notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal, our Board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment at any time without any further action by our shareholders.

Redemption Rights

In connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and contingent upon the effectiveness of the implementation of the Charter Extension, each public shareholder may seek to redeem its Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, including interest earned but net of taxes payable. If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your Public Shares for cash and will no longer own the shares. However, the Company will not proceed with the Charter Extension if the Company will not have at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets after taking into account the Redemption.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

        on or before 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on February 16, 2023 (two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting), tender your shares physically or electronically and submit a request in writing that the Company redeem your Public Shares for cash to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent, at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th Floor
New York, New York 10004
Attn: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com

and

        deliver your Public Shares either physically or electronically through DTC’s DWAC system to the transfer agent at least two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent and time to effect delivery. Shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your Public Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed.

Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights, whether they are record holders or hold their shares in “street name,” are required to either tender their certificates to the transfer agent prior to the date set forth in this proxy statement, or up to two business days prior to the vote on the proposal to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, at such shareholder’s option.

Each redemption of a Public Share by the Company’s public shareholders will reduce the amount in the Trust Account, which held marketable securities with a fair value of $10.14 as of the Record Date. Prior to their exercising redemption rights, the Company’s shareholders should verify the market price of the Public Shares, as shareholders may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares of Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. There is no assurance that you will be able to sell your 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 the Public Shares when you wish to sell your shares.

If you exercise your redemption rights, your Public Shares will cease to be outstanding and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account.

You will have no right to participate in, or have any interest in, the future growth of the Company, if any. You will be entitled to receive cash for your Public Shares only if you properly and timely demand redemption.

If the Company does not consummate the Business Combination on or before the Original Termination Date, and the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, the Company will be required to dissolve and liquidate the Trust Account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to the public shareholders and all of the Company’s warrants will expire worthless.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Shareholders Exercising Redemption Rights

The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for holders of the Company’s shares that elect to have their shares redeemed for cash. This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the Internal Revenue Services (the “IRS”) (including administrative interpretations and practices expressed in private letter rulings which are binding on the IRS only with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received those rulings) and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this summary. This summary does not discuss the impact that U.S. state and local taxes and taxes imposed by non-U.S. jurisdictions could have on the matters discussed in this summary. This summary does not purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular shareholder in light of its investment or tax circumstances or to shareholders subject to special tax rules, such as:

        certain U.S. expatriates;

        traders in securities that elect mark-to-market treatment;

        S corporations;

        U.S. shareholders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

        financial institutions;

        mutual funds;

        qualified plans, such as 401(k) plans, individual retirement accounts, etc.;

        insurance companies;

        broker-dealers;

        regulated investment companies (or RICs);

        real estate investment trusts (or REITs);

        persons holding shares as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment;

        persons subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code;

        tax-exempt organizations;

        persons that actually or constructively own 5 percent or more of the Company’s shares; and

        Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below, and except as otherwise discussed below).

If any partnership (including for this purpose any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. This summary does not address any tax consequences to any partnership that holds our securities (or to any direct or indirect partner of such partnership). If you are a partner of a partnership holding the Company’s securities, you should consult your tax advisor. This summary assumes that shareholders hold the Company’s securities as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, which generally means as property held for investment and not as a dealer or for sale to customers in the ordinary course of the shareholder’s trade or business.

        a citizen or resident of the United States;

        a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof;

        an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

        any trust if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

Tax Treatment of the Redemption — In General

The balance of the discussion under this heading is subject in its entirety to the discussion below under the heading “— Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules.” If the Company’s is considered a “passive foreign investment company” for these purposes (which the Company’s will be, unless a “start up” exception applies), then the tax consequences of the redemption will be as outlined in that discussion, below.

A Redeeming U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such shareholder’s adjusted basis in the shares exchanged therefor if the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s ownership of shares is completely terminated or if the redemption meets certain other tests described below. Special constructive ownership rules apply in determining whether a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s ownership of shares is treated as completely terminated (and in general, such Redeeming U.S. Holder may not be considered to have completely terminated its interest if it continues to hold our warrants). If gain or loss treatment applies, such gain or loss will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of such shares is more than one year at the time of the exchange. It is possible that because of the redemption rights associated with our shares, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such redemption (and thus it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply to shares redeemed in the redemption). Shareholders who hold different blocks of shares (generally, shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Cash received upon redemption that does not completely terminate the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s interest will still give rise to capital gain or loss, if the redemption is either (i) “substantially disproportionate” or (ii) “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” In determining whether the redemption is substantially disproportionate or not essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder, that Redeeming U.S. Holder is deemed to own not just shares actually owned but also shares underlying rights to acquire our shares (including for these purposes our warrants) and, in some cases, shares owned by certain family members, certain estates and trusts of which the Redeeming U.S. Holder is a beneficiary, and certain affiliated entities.

Generally, the redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the Redeeming U.S. Holder if (i) the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of the outstanding voting shares (including all classes which carry voting rights) of the Company is reduced immediately after the redemption to less than 80% of the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s percentage interest in such shares immediately before the redemption; (ii) the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership of the outstanding shares (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the redemption is reduced to less than 80% of such percentage ownership immediately before the redemption; and (iii) the Redeeming U.S. Holder owns, immediately after the redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of the Company entitled to vote. Whether the redemption will be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a Redeeming U.S. Holder will depend upon the particular circumstances of that U.S. holder. At a minimum, however, the redemption must result in a meaningful reduction in the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s actual or constructive percentage ownership of the Company. The IRS has ruled that any reduction in a shareholder’s proportionate interest is a “meaningful reduction” if the shareholder’s relative interest in the corporation is minimal and the shareholder does not have meaningful control over the corporation.

If none of the redemption tests described above give rise to capital gain or loss, the consideration paid to the Redeeming U.S. Holder will be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of our current or accumulated earnings and profits. However, for the purposes of the dividends-received deduction and of “qualified dividend” treatment, due to the redemption right, a Redeeming U.S. Holder may be unable to include the time period prior to the redemption in the shareholder’s “holding period.” Any distribution in excess of our earnings and profits will reduce the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s basis in the shares (but not below zero), and any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares.

As these rules are complex, U.S. holders of shares considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Certain Redeeming U.S. Holders who are individuals, estates or trusts pay a 3.8% tax on all or a portion of their “net investment income” or “undistributed net investment income” (as applicable), which may include all or a portion of their capital gain or dividend income from their redemption of shares. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of the net investment income tax.

Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be a passive foreign investment company (or “PFIC”) for U.S. tax purposes if at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income. Alternatively, a foreign corporation will be a PFIC if at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year of the foreign corporation, ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year, including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets.

Because the Company is a blank check company, with no current active business, we believe that it is likely that we have met the PFIC asset or income test beginning with our initial taxable year. However, pursuant to a start-up exception, a corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the corporation has gross income, if (1) no predecessor of the corporation was a PFIC; (2) the corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the start-up year; and (3) the corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years. The applicability of the start-up exception to us will not be known until after the close of our current taxable year. If we do not satisfy the start-up exception, we will likely be considered a PFIC since our date of formation, and will continue to be treated as a PFIC until we no longer satisfy the PFIC tests (although, as stated below, in general the PFIC rules would continue to apply to any U.S. holder who held our securities at any time we were considered a PFIC).

If we are determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a Redeeming U.S. Holder of our shares or warrants and, in the case of our shares, the Redeeming U.S. Holder did not make either a timely QEF election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) shares or a timely “mark to market” election, in each case as described below, such holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to:

        any gain recognized by the Redeeming U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its shares or warrants (which would include the redemption, if such redemption is treated as a sale under the rules discussed under the heading “— Tax Treatment of the Redemption — In General,” above); and

        any “excess distribution” made to the Redeeming U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such Redeeming U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such Redeeming U.S. Holder in respect of the shares during the three preceding taxable years of such Redeeming U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares), which may include the redemption to the extent such redemption is treated as a distribution under the rules discussed under the heading “— Tax Treatment of the Redemption — In General,” above.

28

Table of Contents

Under these special rules,

        the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares or warrants;

        the amount allocated to the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of our first taxable year in which we are a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

        the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the Redeeming U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the Redeeming U.S. Holder; and

        the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder.

In general, if we are determined to be a PFIC, a Redeeming U.S. Holder may avoid the PFIC tax consequences described above in respect to our shares (but not our warrants) by making a timely QEF election (if eligible to do so) to include in income its pro rata share of our net capital gains (as long-term capital gain) and other earnings and profits (as ordinary income), on a current basis, in each case whether or not distributed, in the taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder in which or with which our taxable year ends. In general, a QEF election must be made on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing such Redeeming U.S. Holder’s tax return for the taxable year for which the election relates. A Redeeming U.S. Holder may make a separate election to defer the payment of taxes on undistributed income inclusions under the QEF rules, but if deferred, any such taxes will be subject to an interest charge.

A Redeeming U.S. Holder may not make a QEF election with respect to its warrants to acquire our shares. As a result, if a Redeeming U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of such warrants (other than upon exercise of such warrants), any gain recognized generally will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above, if we were a PFIC at any time during the period the Redeeming U.S. Holder held the warrants. If a Redeeming U.S. Holder that exercises such warrants properly makes a QEF election with respect to the newly acquired shares (or has previously made a QEF election with respect to our shares), the QEF election will apply to the newly acquired shares, but the adverse tax consequences relating to PFIC shares, adjusted to take into account the current income inclusions resulting from the QEF election, will continue to apply with respect to such newly acquired shares (which generally will be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes the period the Redeeming U.S. Holder held the warrants), unless the Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a purging election. The purging election creates a deemed sale of such shares at their fair market value. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will have a new basis and holding period in the shares acquired upon the exercise of the warrants for purposes of the PFIC rules.

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A QEF election may not be made with respect to our warrants. A Redeeming U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a PFIC annual information statement, to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a Redeeming U.S. Holder must receive a PFIC annual information statement from us. If we determine we are a PFIC for any taxable year, we will endeavor to provide to a Redeeming U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC annual information statement, in order to enable the Redeeming U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. However, there is no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of our status as a PFIC in the future or of the required information to be provided.

If a Redeeming U.S. Holder has made a QEF election with respect to our shares, and the special tax and interest charge rules do not apply to such shares (because of a timely QEF election for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) such shares or a purge of the PFIC taint pursuant to a purging election, as described above), any gain recognized on the sale of our shares generally will be taxable as capital gain and no interest charge will be imposed. As discussed above, Redeeming U.S. Holders of a QEF are currently taxed on their pro rata shares of its earnings and profits, whether or not distributed. In such case, a subsequent distribution of such earnings and profits that were previously included in income generally should not be taxable as a dividend to such Redeeming U.S. Holders. The tax basis of a Redeeming U.S. Holder’s shares in a QEF will be increased by amounts that are included in income, and decreased by amounts distributed but not taxed as dividends, under the above rules. Similar basis adjustments apply to property if by reason of holding such property the Redeeming U.S. Holder is treated under the applicable attribution rules as owning shares in a QEF.

Although a determination as to our PFIC status will be made annually, a determination that we are a PFIC for any particular year will generally apply for subsequent years to a Redeeming U.S. Holder who held shares or warrants while we were a PFIC, whether or not we meet the test for PFIC status in those subsequent years. A Redeeming U.S. Holder who makes the QEF election discussed above for our first taxable year as a PFIC in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) our shares and receives the requisite PFIC annual information statement, however, will not be subject to the PFIC tax and interest charge rules discussed above in respect to such shares. In addition, such Redeeming U.S. Holder will not be subject to the QEF inclusion regime with respect to such shares for any taxable year of us that ends within or with a taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder and in which we are not a PFIC. On the other hand, if the QEF election is not effective for each of our taxable years in which we are a PFIC and the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) our shares, the PFIC rules discussed above will continue to apply to such shares unless the holder makes a purging election, as described above, and pays the tax and interest charge with respect to the gain inherent in such shares attributable to the pre-QEF election period.

Alternatively, if a Redeeming U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable stock, the Redeeming U.S. Holder may make a mark-to-market election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the Redeeming U.S. Holder makes a valid mark-to-market election for the first taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder in which the Redeeming U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) shares and for which we are determined to be a PFIC, such holder generally will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its shares. Instead, in general, the Redeeming U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its shares. The Redeeming U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its shares over the fair market value of its shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the mark-to-market election). The Redeeming U.S. Holder’s basis in its shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of the shares will be treated as ordinary income. Currently, a mark-to-market election may not be made with respect to our warrants.

The mark-to-market election is available only for stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Nasdaq Capital Market, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. Redeeming U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a mark-to-market election in respect to our shares under their particular circumstances.

If we are a PFIC and, at any time, have a foreign subsidiary that is classified as a PFIC, Redeeming U.S. Holders generally would be deemed to own a portion of the shares of such lower-tier PFIC, and generally could incur liability for the deferred tax and interest charge described above if we receive a distribution from, or dispose of all or part of our interest in, the lower-tier PFIC or the Redeeming U.S. Holders otherwise were deemed to have disposed of an interest in the lower-tier PFIC. We will endeavor to cause any lower-tier PFIC to provide to a Redeeming U.S. Holder the information that may be required to make or maintain a QEF election with respect to the lower-tier PFIC. However, there is no assurance that we will have timely knowledge of the status of any such lower-tier PFIC. In addition, we may not hold a controlling interest in any such lower-tier PFIC and thus there can be no assurance we will be able to cause the lower-tier PFIC to provide the required information. Redeeming U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax issues raised by lower-tier PFICs.

Table of Contents

A Redeeming U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the Redeeming U.S. Holder, may have to file an IRS Form 8621(whether or not a QEF or market-to-market election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department.

The application of the PFIC rules is extremely complex. Shareholders who are considering participating in the redemption and/or selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of their shares and/or warrants should consult with their tax advisors concerning the application of the PFIC rules in their particular circumstances.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to Non-U.S. Shareholders

This section is addressed to Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the Company’s shares that elect to have their shares redeemed for cash as described in the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Extension Amendment Proposal — Redemption Rights.” For purposes of this discussion, a “Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that so redeems its shares and is not a Redeeming U.S. Holder.

Except as otherwise discussed in this section, a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder who elects to have its shares redeemed will generally be treated in the same manner as a U.S. shareholder for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See the discussion above under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Shareholders.”

Any Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any capital gain recognized as a result of the exchange unless:

        such shareholder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the redemption takes place and certain other conditions are met; or

        such shareholder is engaged in a trade or business within the United States and any gain recognized in the exchange is treated as effectively connected with such trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, the gain is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by such holder in the United States), in which case the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to the same treatment as a Redeeming U.S. Holder with respect to the exchange, and a corporate Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder may be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

With respect to any redemption treated as a distribution rather than a sale, any amount treated as dividend income to a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30%, unless the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty. Dividends received by a Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business (and, if an income tax treaty applies, such dividends are attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder in the United States), will be taxed as discussed above under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations to U.S. Shareholders.” In addition, dividends received by a corporate Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with the holder’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business may also be subject to an additional branch profits tax at a rate of 30% or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

Non-U.S. holders of shares considering exercising their redemption rights should consult their own tax advisors as to whether the redemption of their shares will be treated as a sale or as a distribution under the Code.

Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) and U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance thereunder, a 30% United States federal withholding tax may apply to certain income paid to (i) a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined in FATCA), whether such foreign financial institution is the beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such foreign financial institution agrees to verify, report and disclose its United States “account” holders (as specifically defined in FATCA) and meets certain other specified requirements or (ii) a non-financial foreign entity, whether such non-financial foreign entity is the beneficial owner or an intermediary, unless such entity provides a certification that the beneficial owner of the payment does not have any substantial United States owners or provides the name, address and taxpayer identification number of each such substantial United States owner and certain other specified requirements are met. In certain cases, the relevant foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity may qualify for an exemption from, or be deemed to be in compliance with, these rules. Redeeming Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding this legislation and whether it may be relevant to their disposition of their shares or warrants.

Backup Withholding

In general, proceeds received from the exercise of redemption rights will be subject to backup withholding for a non-corporate Redeeming U.S. Holder that:

        fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number;

        is notified by the IRS regarding a failure to report all interest or dividends required to be shown on his or her federal income tax returns; or

        in certain circumstances, fails to comply with applicable certification requirements.

A Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder generally may eliminate the requirement for information reporting and backup withholding by providing certification of its foreign status, under penalties of perjury, on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or by otherwise establishing an exemption.

Any amount withheld under these rules will be creditable against the Redeeming U.S. Holder’s or Redeeming Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability or refundable to the extent that it exceeds this liability, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS and other applicable requirements are met.

As previously noted above, the foregoing discussion of certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences is included for general information purposes only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, legal or tax advice to any shareholder. We once again urge you to consult with your own tax adviser to determine the particular tax consequences to you (including the application and effect of any U.S. federal, state, local or foreign income or other tax laws) of the receipt of cash in exchange for shares in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal and any redemption of your Public Shares.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by those holders of Ordinary Shares, voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The full text of the special resolution is as follows: “RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that subject to and conditional upon the Trust Account having net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 as at the date of this special resolution, the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association in the form attached to the proxy statement as Annex A and incorporated by reference therein, be and are hereby adopted as the memorandum and articles of association of the Company in substitution for and, to the exclusion of, the Company’s existing Memorandum and Articles of Association, with immediate effect.”

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE NAME CHANGE PROPOSAL

Overview

The Company is proposing to change its name from “Kismet Acquisition Two Corp.” to “Quadro Acquisition One Corp.” The purpose of the Name Change Proposal is to better reflect the Company’s new sponsor as a result of the Sponsor Transaction. On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred to the Sponsor (i) the 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which were acquired by the Prior Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and (ii) 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants, which were acquired by the Prior Sponsor simultaneously with the initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the Sponsor to Quadro IH DMCC. On January 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. The Founder Shares following the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. The Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

Approval of the Name Change Amendment is not a condition to the implementation of the Charter Extension.

Shareholders will not be required to exchange outstanding share certificates for new share certificates if the Name Change Proposal is adopted.

If the Name Change Proposal is approved, the name change will be reflected in the Second Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association, which form is attached to the proxy statement as Annex A.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Name Change Proposal requires a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two thirds (2/3) of the votes which are cast by those holders of Ordinary Shares, voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

BACKGROUND

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on September 15, 2020. We were incorporated for the purpose of acquiring, engaging in a share exchange, share reconstruction and amalgamation, contractual control arrangement with, purchasing all or substantially all of the assets of, or engaging in any other similar Business Combination.

There are currently 29,250,000 of our Ordinary Shares, consisting of 29,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, including 6,250,000 Founder Shares, issued and outstanding. In addition, we issued warrants to purchase 7,666,667 Ordinary Shares as part of our initial public offering and Private Placement Warrants to purchase 4,400,000 Ordinary Shares as part of the private placement that we consummated simultaneously with the consummation of our initial public offering. Each whole warrant entitles its holder to purchase one Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share. The warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination and expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if the last sales price of our Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period commencing on the date the warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before we send the notice of redemption and if, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the ordinary shares underlying such warrants at the time of redemption and for the entire 30-day trading period referred to above and continuing each day thereafter until the date of redemption. The Private Placement Warrants, however, are non-redeemable so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

We initially issued the Class B Ordinary Shares to the Prior Sponsor, Kismet Sponsor Limited. On June 15, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred to the Sponsor (i) the 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares, which were acquired by the Prior Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and (ii) 4,400,000 Private Placement Warrants, which were acquired by the Prior Sponsor simultaneously with the initial public offering for an aggregate purchase price of $6,600,000. On June 30, 2022, the Prior Sponsor transferred all the membership interests of the Sponsor to Quadro IH DMCC. On January 31, 2023, the Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares. The Founder Shares following the Founder Conversion are subject to the same restrictions as the Class B Ordinary Shares before the Founder Conversion, including, among others, certain transfer restrictions, waiver of redemption rights and the obligation to vote in favor of a Business Combination as described in the prospectus for our initial public offering. The Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights.

As of the Record Date, approximately $233.4 million from our initial public offering and the simultaneous sale of the Private Placement Warrants is being held in our Trust Account in the United States maintained by Continental, acting as trustee, invested in U.S. “government securities”, within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in any open ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by us meeting the conditions of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination or (ii) the distribution of the proceeds in the Trust Account as described below.

You are not being asked to vote on the Business Combination at this time. If the Charter Extension is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your Public Shares, provided that you are a stockholder on the Record Date for a meeting to consider the Business Combination, you will retain the right to vote on the Business Combination when it is submitted to stockholders and the right to redeem your Public Shares for cash in the event the Business Combination is approved and completed or we have not consummated a Business Combination by the Charter Extension Date.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Ordinary Shares as of January 5, 2023, based on information obtained from the persons named below, with respect to the beneficial ownership of ordinary shares, by:

        each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our outstanding Ordinary Shares;

        each of our executive officers and directors that beneficially owns our Ordinary Shares; and

        all our executive officers and directors as a group.

In the table below, the presentation gives effect to the Founder Conversion, in which the Sponsor elected to convert on a one-for-one basis 6,250,000 Class B Ordinary Shares into 6,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, and accordingly, percentage ownership is based on 29,250,000 Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 29,250,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) no Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding as of January 31, 2023. On all matters to be voted upon, holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares vote together as a single class. The Sponsor consummated the Founder Conversion, in part, on the basis that having additional Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding may assist the Company in meeting applicable continued listing requirements of Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares beneficially owned by them.

FUTURE SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved, we anticipate that the 2023 annual general meeting will be held no later than December 31, 2023. For any proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for submission to the shareholders at our 2023 annual general meeting, it must have submitted in writing and comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and our articles of association. Assuming the meeting is held on December 31, 2023, such proposals must have been received by us not later than the close of business on the 90th day nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the scheduled date of the annual general meeting.

If the Extension Amendment Proposal is not approved, there will be no annual general meeting in 2023.

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless the Company has received contrary instructions, the Company may send a single copy of this proxy statement to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if the Company believes the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce the Company’s expenses. However, if shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of the Company’s disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of the Company’s disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

        if the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact the Company at the following address and e-mail address:

Kismet Acquisition Two Corp.
850 Library Avenue, Suite 204
Newark, Delaware 19715
Attention: Dimitri Elkin
Email: delkin@quadrocapital.com

        if a broker, bank or nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the broker, bank or nominee directly.

and unless the condition of issue expressly declares otherwise, every issue of shares (whether declared to be ordinary, preference or otherwise) is subject to this power; or

(d)    to alter any of those rights, privileges, conditions, limitations or restrictions.

(a)         the Members holding two thirds of the issued Shares of that class consent in writing to the variation; or

(b)         the variation is made with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general meeting of the Members holding the issued Shares of that class.

2.11       For the purpose of paragraph (b) of the preceding Article, all the provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings apply, mutatis mutandis, to every such separate meeting except that:

(a)         the necessary quorum shall be one or more persons holding, or representing by proxy, not less than one third of the issued Shares of the class; and

Effect of new Share issue on existing class rights

2.13       Unless the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on the Member holding Shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with the existing Shares of that class.

Capital contributions without issue of further Shares

2.14       With the consent of a Member, the directors may accept a voluntary contribution to the capital of the Company from that Member without issuing Shares in consideration for that contribution. In that event, the contribution shall be dealt with in the following manner:

(a)         It shall be treated as if it were a share premium.

(b)         Unless the Member agrees otherwise:

(i)          if the Member holds Shares in a single class of Shares - it shall be credited to the share premium account for that class of Shares;

(ii)         if the Member holds Shares of more than one class - it shall be credited rateably to the share premium accounts for those classes of Shares (in the proportion that the sum of the issue prices for each class of Shares that the Member holds bears to the total issue prices for all classes of Shares that the Member holds).

(c)         It shall be subject to the provisions of the Law and these Articles applicable to share premiums.

No bearer Shares or warrants

2.15       The Company shall not issue Shares or warrants to bearers.

2.18       The Company shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Treasury Shares. However:

(a)         the Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void;

(b)         a Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time, whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Law.

(c)         if the Company has an email address for the time being, by emailing to that email address a scanned copy of the notice as a PDF attachment or, otherwise, by emailing to the email address provided by the Company’s registered office a scanned copy of the notice as a PDF attachment (in either case, the PDF version being deemed to be the notice unless Article 31.7 applies), in which event notice shall be taken to be given on the date of receipt by the Company or the Company’s registered office (as appropriate) in readable form; or

(d)         if permitted pursuant to the notice provisions, in some other form of approved Electronic Record delivered in accordance with those provisions in writing.

Power to delegate any of the directors’ powers to a committee

20.4       If a director has made disclosure in accordance with the preceding Article, then he shall not, by reason only of his office, be accountable to the Company for any benefit that he derives from any such transaction or arrangement or from any such office or employment or from any interest in any such body corporate, and no such transaction or arrangement shall be liable to be avoided on the ground of any such interest or benefit.

Notification of interests

(a)         a general notice that a director gives to the other directors that he is to be regarded as having an interest of the nature and extent specified in the notice in any transaction or arrangement in which a specified person or class of persons is interested shall be deemed to be a disclosure that he has an interest in or duty in relation to any such transaction of the nature and extent so specified; and

(b)         an interest of which a director has no knowledge and of which it is unreasonable to expect him to have knowledge shall not be treated as an interest of his.

Annex A-29

Table of Contents

20.7       Where proposals are under consideration concerning the appointment of two or more directors to offices or employment with the Company or any body corporate in which the Company is interested, the proposals may be divided and considered in relation to each director separately and each of the directors concerned shall be entitled to vote and be counted in the quorum in respect of each resolution except that concerning his or her own appointment.

22.4       If, for any reason, a person notifies the Company that he is unable to access the website, the Company must, as soon as practicable, send the documents to that person by any other means permitted by these Articles. This, however, will not affect when that person is taken to have received the documents under the next Article.

Time of receipt if documents are published on a website

(b)         the person is given at least five Clear Days’ notice of the hearing.

Validity despite accidental error in publication on website

22.6       If, for the purpose of a meeting, documents are sent by being published on a website in accordance with the preceding Articles, the proceedings at that meeting are not invalidated merely because:

(a)         those documents are, by accident, published in a different place on the website to the place notified; or

(b)         they are published for part only of the period from the date of notification until the conclusion of that meeting.

25          Dividends

Declaration of dividends by Members

Payment of interim dividends and declaration of final dividends by directors

25.2       The directors may pay interim dividends or declare final dividends in accordance with the respective rights of the Members if it appears to them that they are justified by the financial position of the Company and that such dividends may lawfully be paid.

25.3       Subject to the provisions of the Law, in relation to the distinction between interim dividends and final dividends, the following applies:

(a)         Upon determination to pay a dividend or dividends described as interim by the directors in the dividend resolution, no debt shall be created by the declaration until such time as payment is made.

(b)         Upon declaration of a dividend or dividends described as final by the directors in the dividend resolution, a debt shall be created immediately following the declaration, the due date to be the date the dividend is stated to be payable in the resolution.

If the resolution fails to specify whether a dividend is final or interim, it shall be assumed to be interim.

25.4       In relation to Shares carrying differing rights to dividends or rights to dividends at a fixed rate, the following applies:

(a)         If the share capital is divided into different classes, the directors may pay dividends on Shares which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential dividend is in arrears.

(b)         The directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for distribution to justify the payment.

(c)         If the directors act in good faith, they shall not incur any liability to the Members holding Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss those Members may suffer by the lawful payment of the dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights.

Apportionment of dividends

25.5       Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all dividends shall be declared and paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amount paid up on the Shares during the time or part of the time in respect of which the dividend is paid. If a Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for dividend accordingly.

Right of set off

25.6       The directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of a Share any amount due by that person to the Company on a call or otherwise in relation to a Share.

Power to pay other than in cash

25.7       If the directors so determine, any resolution declaring a dividend may direct that it shall be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets. If a difficulty arises in relation to the distribution, the directors may settle that difficulty in any way they consider appropriate. For example, they may do any one or more of the following:

(a)         issue fractional Shares;

Annex A-32

Table of Contents

(b)         fix the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and

How payments may be made

(b)         by cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share.

25.9       For the purpose of paragraph (a) of the preceding Article, the nomination may be in writing or in an Electronic Record and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another person. For the purpose of paragraph (b) of the preceding Article, subject to any applicable law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall be made to the order of the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to the Share or to his nominee, whether nominated in writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good discharge to the Company.

25.10     If two or more persons are registered as the holders of the Share or are jointly entitled to it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the registered holder (Joint Holders), a dividend (or other amount) payable on or in respect of that Share may be paid as follows:

(a)         to the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the Register of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may be; or

(b)         to the address or bank account of another person nominated by the Joint Holders, whether that nomination is in writing or in an Electronic Record.

25.11     Any Joint Holder of a Share may give a valid receipt for a dividend (or other amount) payable in respect of that Share.

Dividends or other moneys not to bear interest in absence of special rights

25.12     Unless provided for by the rights attached to a Share, no dividend or other monies payable by the Company in respect of a Share shall bear interest.

Dividends unable to be paid or unclaimed

25.13     If a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was declared or both, the directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company’s name. If a dividend is paid into a separate account, the Company shall not be constituted trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain a debt due to the Member.

25.14     A dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company.

26          Capitalisation of profits

Capitalisation of profits or of any share premium account or capital redemption reserve

26.1       The directors may resolve to capitalise:

(a)         any part of the Company’s profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not those profits are available for distribution); or

(b)         any sum standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or capital redemption reserve, if any.

Annex A-33

Table of Contents

The amount resolved to be capitalised must be appropriated to the Members who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way of dividend and in the same proportions. The benefit to each Member so entitled must be given in either or both of the following ways:

(a)         by paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares;

(b)         by issuing Fully Paid Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or as that Member directs. The directors may resolve that any Shares issued to the Member in respect of partly paid Shares (Original Shares) rank for dividend only to the extent that the Original Shares rank for dividend while those Original Shares remain partly paid.

Applying an amount for the benefit of members

26.2       The amount capitalised must be applied to the benefit of Members in the proportions to which the Members would have been entitled to dividends if the amount capitalised had been distributed as a dividend.

26.3       Subject to the Law, if a fraction of a Share, a debenture, or other security is allocated to a Member, the directors may issue a fractional certificate to that Member or pay him the cash equivalent of the fraction.

27          Share premium account

Directors to maintain share premium account

27.1       The directors shall establish a share premium account in accordance with the Law.

27.2       The following amounts shall be debited to any share premium account:

(a)         on the redemption or purchase of a Share, the difference between the nominal value of that Share and the redemption or purchase price; and

(b)         any other amount paid out of a share premium account as permitted by the Law.

27.3       Notwithstanding the preceding Article, on the redemption or purchase of a Share, the directors may pay the difference between the nominal value of that Share and the redemption purchase price out of the profits of the Company or, as permitted by the Law, out of capital.

36          Business Combination

36.1       Articles 36.1 to 36.11 shall terminate upon consummation of any Business Combination.

36.2       The Company has up to 24 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination provided however if the board of directors anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within 24 months of the closing of the IPO, the directors may, in their sole discretion, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination by an additional two months. Furthermore, if the board of directors anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination within such 26 months of the closing of the IPO, the directors may, in their sole discretion, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to seven more times, each by an additional one month extension (giving the Company a total of up to 33 months from the closing of the IPO to complete a Business Combination). In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the IPO, 26 months from the closing of the IPO or within up to 33 months from the closing of the IPO, subject to valid extensions having been made in each case (such date falling 24 months, 26 months or up to 33 months, as applicable, after the closing of the IPO being referred to as the Termination Date), such failure shall trigger an automatic redemption of the Public Shares (an Automatic Redemption Event) and the directors of the Company shall take all such action necessary to (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares to the holders of Public Shares, on a pro rata basis, in cash at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Automatic Redemption Event, subject to the approval of our remaining Members and our directors, liquidate and dissolve the Company, subject to the Company’s obligations under the Law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

36.3       Unless a shareholder vote is required by law or the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, or, at the sole discretion of the directors, the directors determine to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company may enter into a Business Combination without submitting such Business Combination to its Members for approval.

36.4       Although not required, in the event that a shareholder vote is held, and a majority of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote thereon which were present at the meeting to approve the Business Combination are voted for the approval of such Business Combination, the Company shall be authorised to consummate the Business Combination.

Annex A-40

Table of Contents

36.5       

(a)         In the event that a Business Combination is consummated by the Company other than in connection with a shareholder vote under Article 36.4, the Company will, subject to as provided below, offer to redeem the Public Shares for cash in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and subject to any limitations (including but not limited to cash requirements) set forth in the definitive transaction agreements related to the initial Business Combination (the Tender Redemption Offer), provided however that the Company shall not redeem those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such Tender Redemption Offer, whether or not such holders accept such Tender Redemption Offer. The Company will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to consummating the Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about the Business Combination and the redemption rights as would be required in a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. In accordance with the Exchange Act, the Tender Redemption Offer will remain open for a minimum of 20 Business Days and the Company will not be permitted to consummate its Business Combination until the expiry of such period. If in the event a Member holding Public Shares accepts the Tender Redemption Offer and the Company has not otherwise withdrawn the tender offer, the Company shall, promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination, pay such redeeming Member, on a pro rata basis, cash equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price.

(b)         In the event that a Business Combination is consummated by the Company in connection with a shareholder vote held pursuant to Article 36.4 in accordance with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act (the Redemption Offer), the Company will, subject as provided below, offer to redeem the Public Shares, other than those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company, regardless of whether such shares are voted for or against the Business Combination, for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price, provided however that: (i) the Company shall not redeem those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such Redemption Offer, whether or not such holders accept such Redemption Offer; and (ii) any other redeeming Member who either individually or together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as such term is defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act) shall not be permitted to redeem, without the consent of the directors, more than twenty percent (20%) of the total Public Shares sold in the IPO.

(c)         In no event will the Company consummate the Tender Redemption Offer or the Redemption Offer under Article 36.5(a) or 36.5(b) or an Amendment Redemption Event under Article 36.11 if such redemptions would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than US$5,000,001 or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement which may be contained in the agreement relating to the Business Combination.

36.6       A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an Automatic Redemption Event, an Amendment Redemption Event or in the event he accepts a Tender Redemption Offer or a Redemption Offer where the Business Combination is consummated. In no other circumstances shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in or to the Trust Account.

36.7       Prior to a Business Combination, the Company will not issue any securities (other than Public Shares) that would entitle the holder thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account; or (ii) vote on any Business Combination.

36.8       In the event the Company enters into a Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with the Sponsor or any of the directors or officers of the Company, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or independent accounting firm that such a Business Combination is fair to the holders of the Public Shares from a financial point of view.

36.9       The Company will not effectuate a Business Combination with another “blank cheque” company or a similar company with nominal operations.

Annex A-41

Table of Contents

36.10     Immediately after the Company’s IPO, that amount of the proceeds received by the Company in or in connection with the IPO (including proceeds of any exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option and any proceeds from the simultaneous private placement of like units comprising like securities to those included in the IPO by the Company) as is described in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC (the Registration Statement) at the time it goes effective as shall be deposited in the Trust Account shall be so deposited and thereafter held in the Trust Account until released in the event of a Business Combination or otherwise in accordance with this Article 36. Neither the Company nor any officer, director or employee of the Company will disburse any of the proceeds held in the Trust Account until the earlier of (i) a Business Combination, or (ii) an Automatic Redemption Event or in payment of the acquisition price for any shares which the Company elects to purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire in accordance with this Article 36, in each case in accordance with the trust agreement governing the Trust Account; provided that interest earned on the Trust Account (as described in the Registration Statement) may be released from time to time to the Company to pay the Company’s tax obligations.

36.11     In the event the directors of the Company propose any amendment to Article 36 or to any of the other rights of the Shares as set out at Article 2.5 prior to, but not for the purposes of approving or in conjunction with the consummation of, a Business Combination that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligations as described in this Article 36 to pay or to offer to pay the Per-Share Redemption Price to any holder of the Public Shares (an Amendment) and such Amendment is duly approved by a Special Resolution of the Members (an Approved Amendment), the Company will offer to redeem the Public Shares of any Member for cash, on a pro rata basis, at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price (an Amendment Redemption Event), provided however that the Company shall not redeem those Shares held by the Initial Shareholders or their affiliates or the directors or officers of the Company pursuant to such offer, whether or not such holders accept such offer.

37          Class B Share Conversion

37.1       Save and except for the conversion rights referred to in this Article 37 and as otherwise set out in these Articles, subject to Article 2.10, the rights attaching to all Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters.

37.2       Unless triggered earlier at the option of a holder of Class B Shares in respect of such holder’s Class B Shares, all of the issued Class B Shares shall, at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination, automatically be converted into such number of Class A Shares as is equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, to 20% of the sum of:

(a)         the total number of Shares issued and outstanding upon completion of the IPO, plus

(b)         the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued by the Company in connection with or in relation to the completion of the initial Business Combination (including the Forward Purchase Shares, but not the Forward Purchase Warrants), excluding any Class A Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to our Sponsor or any of its affiliates or any member of our management team upon conversion of working capital loans.

37.3       References in this Article to converted, conversion or exchange shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

37.4       Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 37, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one. Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares as set forth in this Article 37. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B

Annex A-42

Table of Contents

Shares will be determined as follows: Each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the issued Class B Shares shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of issued Class B Shares at the time of conversion.

37.5       The directors shall not allot or issue Class A Shares such that the number of authorised but unissued Class A Shares would at any time be insufficient to permit the conversion of all Class B Shares from time to time issued into Class A Shares.

38          Certain Tax Filings

38.1       Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file tax forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832 and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any director or officer of the Company. The Company further ratifies and approves any such filing made by any Tax Filing Authorised Person or such other person prior to the date of the Articles.

39          Business Opportunities

39.1       In recognition and anticipation of the facts that: (a) directors, managers, officers, members, partners, managing members, employees and/or agents of one or more members of the Sponsor Group (each of the foregoing, a Sponsor Group Related Person) may serve as directors and/or officers of the Company; and (b) the Sponsor Group engages, and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Company, directly or indirectly, may engage, the provisions under this heading “Business Opportunities” are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve the Members and the Sponsor Group Related Persons, and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Company and its officers, directors and Members in connection therewith.

39.2        To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Sponsor Group and the Sponsor Group Related Persons shall have no duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for either the Sponsor Group or the Sponsor Group Related Persons, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other. Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Sponsor Group and the Sponsor Group Related Persons shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, director and/or officer of the Company solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company, unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such Sponsor Group Related Person solely in their capacity as an Officer or director of the Company and the opportunity is one the Company is permitted to complete on a reasonable basis.

39.3       Except as provided elsewhere in the Articles, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and the Sponsor Group, about which a director and/or officer of the Company who is also an Sponsor Group Related Person acquires knowledge.

39.4       To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.
