Dear
Shareholders:
On
behalf of the Board of Directors of Nova Vision Acquisition Corp. (the “Company” or “we”), I invite
you to attend our Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”). We hope you can join us. The Annual Meeting
will be held:
|
At: |
Loeb
& Loeb LLP, 2206-19 Jardine House, 1 Connaught Place Central, Hong Kong SAR (and via video conference at [ ]. |
|
On: |
,
2022 |
|
Time: |
10
a.m. local time |
The
Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Proxy Statement and the proxy card accompany this letter, together with our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 will be first mailed to our shareholders on or about October , 2022.
As
discussed in the enclosed Proxy Statement, the Annual Meeting will be devoted to:
(i)
A proposal to amend (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the
“Extension”) nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from November 10, 2022 (the “Current
Termination Date”) to August 10, 2023 (the termination date as so extended, the “Extended Termination Date”)
by adopting the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in their entirety in place of the Company’s
existing memorandum and articles, a copy of which is attached in the proxy statement as Annex A;
(ii)
A proposal to amend (the “Trust Amendment”) the Company’s investment management trust agreement (the “Trust
Agreement”), dated as of August 5, 2021, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “trustee”),
as amended, to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account (the “Trust Account”) established
in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) nine (9) times for an additional one (1)
month each time from November 10, 2022 to August 10, 2023 by depositing into the trust account $0.0333 for each issued and outstanding
Company ordinary share issued in the IPO (each, a “Public Share”) that has not been redeemed (the “Extension
Payment”) for each one-month extension in the event the Company has not consummated a business combination by the Extended
Termination Date;
(iii)
A proposal to elect five (5) directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their respective successors have
been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death; and
(iv)
To act on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof (the “Adjournment
Proposal”).
The
Company’s IPO prospectus dated August 5, 2021 provides that the Company initially had until May 10, 2023 (after three (3) three-month
extensions) to complete its initial business combination. The Company’s charter was most recently amended and restated on August
5, 2021 with the Current Termination Date of November 10, 2022, which can be extended to May 10, 2023 after two (2) three-month extensions.
The only way to extend the Combination Period from November 10, 2022 without the need for a separate shareholder vote under the current
Charter and Trust Agreement is for our insiders or their affiliates or designees, upon five (5) days’ advance notice prior to the
applicable deadline, to deposit into the Trust Account $575,000 (i.e., $0.10 per issued Public Share), for each three-month extension,
on or prior to the date of the applicable deadline. The purpose of the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow the Company
an option to further extend the time to complete a business combination. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best
interests of our shareholders to allow the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination a total of nine (9) times for
an additional one (1) month each time beginning on November 10, 2022, and provide that the date for cessation of operations of the Company
if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended to the Extended Termination Date.
The
purpose of the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment is to allow for nine (9) monthly extensions, each with a required Extension
Payment of $0.0333 each month for each Public Share that has not been redeemed. Our insiders or their affiliates or designees will elect
to exercise each extension on a month-to-month and as-needed basis only.
We
know that many of our shareholders will be unable to attend the Annual Meeting. We are soliciting proxies so that each shareholder has
an opportunity to vote on all matters that are scheduled to come before the shareholders at the Annual Meeting. Whether or not you plan
to attend, please take the time now to read the Proxy Statement and vote by submitting by mail a paper copy of your proxy or vote instructions,
so that your shares are represented at the meeting. You may also revoke your proxy or vote instructions and change your vote at any time
prior to the Annual Meeting. Regardless of the number of Company shares you own, your presence in person or by proxy is important for
quorum purposes and your vote is important for proper corporate action.
Thank
you for your continuing interest in Nova Vision Acquisition Corp. We look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting.
If
you have any questions about the Proxy Statement, please contact us at Nova Vision Acquisition Corp., 3 Ocean Way #5-7, Singapore.
Sincerely,

Purpose
of the Annual Meeting
At
the Annual Meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote upon the following matters:
|
1. |
A
proposal to amend (the “Charter Amendment”) the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of
association (the “Charter”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the
“Extension”) nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from November 10, 2022 (the “Current

by adopting the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association in their entirety in place of the Company’s
existing memorandum and articles, a copy of which is attached in the proxy statement as Annex A. |
|
|
|
|
2. |
A
proposal to amend (the “Trust Amendment”) the Company’s investment management trust agreement (the “Trust
Agreement”), dated as of August 5, 2021, by and between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the
“trustee”), as amended, to extend the date on which to commence liquidating the trust account (the “Trust
Account”) established in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) nine
(9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from November 10, 2022 to August 10, 2023 by depositing into the trust account
$[ ] for each issued and outstanding Company ordinary share issued in the IPO (each, a “Public Share”) that has
not been redeemed (the “Extension Payment”) for each one-month extension in the event the Company has not consummated
a business combination by the Extended Termination Date. |
|
|
|
|
3. |
A
proposal to elect five (5) directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their respective successors
have been duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation, removal or death. |
|
|
|
|
4. |
To
act on such other matters as may properly come before the meeting or any adjournment or adjournments thereof (the “Adjournment
Proposal”). |
The
Company’s IPO prospectus provides that the Company initially had until May 10, 2023 (after three (3) three-month extensions) to
complete its initial business combination. Following the completion of our IPO in August 2021, our representatives have engaged in extensive
discussions with business owners with respect to potential business combination opportunities. The purpose of the Charter Amendment and
the Trust Amendment is to allow the Company an option to further extend the time to complete a business combination. Our board of directors
has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to extend the Current Termination Date so to allow the Company to
extend the time to complete a business combination up to nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time by depositing into
the trust account an Extension Payment of $0.0333 for each Public Share that has not been redeemed for each one-month extension and provide
that the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended
to the Extended Termination Date (the “Extension”). Under our current charter, in order to extend the time available
for us to consummate our initial business combination, our insiders or their affiliates or designees would be required to deposit $0.10
for each public ordinary share that has not been redeemed (or an aggregate of $575,000 if there are no redemptions) into the Trust Account
for each three (3) month extension. The Company made the first extension payment on August 9, 2022 to extend the time to complete a business
combination from August 10, 2022 to November 10, 2022. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal
must be made prior to the Current Termination Date, while the second extension payment must be deposited into the trust account no fewer
than five (5) calendar days prior to the then existing termination date. Both the Trust Agreement and the Company’s charter will
be amended to reflect the foregoing. The Charter Amendment is attached hereto as Annex A, and the Trust Amendment is attached
hereto as Annex B.
Our
sponsor, Nova Pulsar Holdings Limited (the “Sponsor”), wants to pay an extension amount that is less than the $0.10
for each three-month extension provided by the current Charter and Trust Agreement, on a month-to-month and as-needed basis only. Under
the current Charter and Trust Agreement, each three-month extension payment would be $575,000, which if paid monthly instead of every
three months would be $191,667. The amount now proposed to be paid for each monthly extension is $0.0333 per month (assuming no redemptions),
which would translate to $574,425 for each three-month period. However, this would be contrary to the interests of our remaining public
shareholders, who will have less funds in the Trust Account than if the extension provisions were not amended.
After
consultation with the Sponsor, Company management has reasons to believe that, if the Charter Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals
are approved, the Sponsor or its affiliates will, in connection with each monthly extension, contribute $191,475 (assuming no redemptions)
to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”) for the Company to deposit the funds
into the Trust Account as the Extension Payment upon five (5) days’ advance notice prior to the applicable deadlines. The Company
made the first extension payment on August 9, 2022 to extend the time to complete a business combination from August 10, 2022 to November
10, 2022. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal must be made prior to the Current Termination
Date, while the second extension payment must be deposited into the trust account no fewer than five (5) calendar days prior to the then
existing termination date. The contribution(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation
of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Sponsor or its affiliate if the Company is unable to consummate
an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. Each of the Charter Amendment, Trust
Amendment, proposal for the election of directors and the Adjournment Proposal are more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.
As
of October 12, 2022, there was approximately $59.0 million in the Trust Account. If the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment
Proposal are approved and the Company extends the Combination Period to December 10, 2022, with a one (1) month extension each time starting
on November 10, 2022, the redemption price per share applicable to all shareholders at the meeting for our initial business combination
or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $[●] per share (assuming three (3) one-month extensions, without
taking into account any interest), in comparison to the current redemption price of approximately $[●] per share (assuming one
(1) three-month extension).
If
the Charter Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, we retain the right to extend the Combination Period by
two (2) times for an additional three (3) months each time from November 10, 2022, to May 10, 2023, by depositing $575,000, or $0.10
for each Public Share, to the Trust Account.
If
the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by May 10, 2023
(assuming two (2) three-month extensions), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining
funds in such account to the public shareholders and our warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will expire worthless.
Voting
Rights and Revocation of Proxies
The
record date with respect to this solicitation is the close of business on October [___], 2022 (the “Record Date”)
and only shareholders of record at that time will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.
The
Company’s ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”) represented by all validly executed proxies received in time to
be taken to the meeting and not previously revoked will be voted at the meeting. This proxy may be revoked by the shareholder at any
time prior to its being voted by filing with the Secretary of the Company either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing
a later date. We intend to release this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card to our shareholders on or about October [___], 2022.
Dissenters’
Right of Appraisal
Holders
of Ordinary Shares do not have appraisal rights under the laws of the British Virgin Islands or under the governing documents of the
Company in connection with this solicitation.
Outstanding
Shares and Quorum
The
number of outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the meeting is 7,518,000. Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. The
presence in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting of the holders of 3,759,001 shares, or not less than 50 per cent of votes of outstanding
Ordinary Shares entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum. There is no cumulative voting. Shares that abstain or for which the authority
to vote is withheld on certain matters (so-called “broker non-votes”) will be treated as present for quorum purposes on all
matters.
Broker
Non-Votes
Holders
of Ordinary Shares that are held in street name must instruct their bank or brokerage firm that holds their shares how to vote their
shares. If a shareholder does not give instructions to his or her bank or brokerage firm, it will nevertheless be entitled to vote the
shares with respect to “routine” items, but it will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-routine”
items. In the case of a non-routine item, such shares will be considered “broker non-votes” on that proposal. The Company
believes that all of the proposals presented to the shareholders at this Annual Meeting will be considered “non-routine”
items. Accordingly, banks or brokerages cannot use discretionary authority to vote shares on Proposals 1, 2, 3 or 4 if they have not
received instructions from their clients. Please submit your vote instruction form so your vote is counted.

Voting
Procedures
Each
Ordinary Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Annual Meeting. Your proxy card shows
the number of Ordinary Shares that you own.
|
● |
You
can vote your Ordinary Shares in advance of the Annual Meeting by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card
in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee,
you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented
and voted at the Annual Meeting. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will
vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to
vote your shares, your Ordinary Shares will be voted as recommended by our board of directors. Our board of directors recommends
voting “FOR” each of the Charter Amendment, the Trust Amendment Proposal, each of the nominees named in this Proxy
Statement, and the Adjournment Proposal. |
|
|
|
|
● |
You
can attend the Annual Meeting and vote in person even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy. You will be given a ballot
when you arrive. However, if your Ordinary Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy
from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way we can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted
your shares. |
Solicitation
of Proxies
The
solicitation of proxies is made by the Company. The expenses of solicitation of proxies will be paid by the Company. We may solicit proxies
by mail, and the officers and employees of the Company may solicit proxies personally or by telephone and will receive no extra compensation
from such activities. The Company will reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their expenses incurred in sending proxies and
proxy materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by them.
Delivery
of Proxy Materials to Households
Only
one copy of the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement will be delivered to an address where two or more shareholders
reside with the same last name or whom otherwise reasonably appear to be members of the same family based on the shareholders’
prior express or implied consent.
We
will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and this Proxy Statement. If
you share an address with at least one other shareholder, currently receive one copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy Statement
at your residence, and would like to receive a separate copy of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy Statement for future shareholder
meetings of the Company, please specify such request in writing and send such written request to Nova Vision Acquisition Corp., 3 Ocean
Way, #5-7, Singapore, 098368; Attention: Chief Executive Officer, or call the Company promptly at +65 8718 3000.
If
you share an address with at least one other shareholder and currently receive multiple copies of Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy
Statement, and you would like to receive a single copy of Annual Report on Form 10-K and Proxy Statement, please specify such request
in writing and send such written request to Nova Vision Acquisition Corp., 3 Ocean Way, #5-7, Singapore, 098368; Attention: Chief Executive
Officer.
Redemption
Rights
Pursuant
to our currently existing charter, any holders of our public shares may demand that such shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the
aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account, less taxes payable, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the Annual Meeting.
Regardless whether you vote for or against the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment, if your request is properly made and the Charter
Amendment and the Trust Amendment are approved, these shares will cease to be outstanding and will represent only the right to receive
a pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the trust account which holds the proceeds of our IPO (calculated as of two (2)
business days prior to the Annual Meeting). For illustrative purposes only, based on funds in the trust account of approximately $59.0
million on October 12, 2022, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $[*].
In
order to exercise your redemption rights, you must submit a request in writing prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on November [●],
2022 (two (2) business days before the Annual Meeting) that we redeem your Public Shares for cash to American Stock Transfer & Trust
Company, our transfer agent, at the following address:

Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC

Attn:

Senior
Vice President SPAC Services Administration

E-mail:
Forihuela@astfinancial.com
And
|
● |
deliver
your public shares either physically or electronically through DTC to our transfer agent at least two (2) business days before the
Annual 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. It is our understanding that
shareholders should generally allot at least two (2) weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, we do
not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two (2) weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in street name
will have to coordinate with their broker, bank 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. |
Any
demand for redemption, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising redemption requests (and submitting
shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with our consent, until the vote is taken with respect to the Charter Amendment and the
Trust Amendment. If you delivered your shares for redemption to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise
your redemption rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request
by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.
Prior
to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of our Ordinary Shares, as they may receive higher proceeds
from the sale of their Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share
is higher than the redemption price. We cannot assure you that you will be able to sell your 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 our Ordinary
Shares when you wish to sell your shares.
If
you exercise your redemption rights, your Ordinary Shares will cease to be outstanding immediately prior to the Annual Meeting (assuming
the Charter Amendment and Trust Amendment are approved) and will only represent the right to receive a pro rata share of the aggregate
amount on deposit in the trust account. You will no longer own those shares and 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 these shares only if you properly and timely request
redemption.
If
the Charter Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, we retain the right to extend the Combination Period by
two (2) times for an additional three (3) months each time from November 10, 2022, to May 10, 2023, by depositing $575,000, or $0.10
for each public share, to the Trust Account.
If
the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment are not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by May 10, 2023
(assuming two (2) three-month extensions), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining
funds in such account to the public shareholders and our warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will expire worthless.
Holders
of outstanding units must separate the underlying public shares, public rights and public warrants prior to exercising redemption rights
with respect to the public shares.
If
you hold units registered in your own name, you must deliver the certificate for such units to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company,
LLC with written instructions to separate such units into public shares, public rights and public warrants. This must be completed far
enough in advance to permit the mailing of the public share certificates back to you so that you may then exercise your redemption rights
with respect to the public shares upon the separation of the public shares from the units.
If
a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your units, you must instruct such nominee to separate your units.
Your nominee must send written instructions by facsimile to American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Such written instructions must
include the number of units to be split and the nominee holding such units. Your nominee must also initiate electronically, using DTC’s
deposit withdrawal at custodian (DWAC) system, a withdrawal of the relevant units and a deposit of an equal number of public shares,
public rights and public warrants. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit your nominee to exercise your redemption rights

PROPOSAL
1: THE CHARTER AMENDMENT
The
proposed Charter Amendment would amend our existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to extend the date by
which the Company has to consummate a business combination (the “Extension”) nine (9) times for an additional one
(1) month each time from November 10, 2022 to August 10, 2023 (the termination date as so extended, the “Extended Termination
Date”). Initially, the Company had until November 10, 2022 to complete its initial business combination, before giving effect
to two (2) three-month extensions (the “Current Termination Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the proposed Charter
Amendment, in order to extend the time available for us to consummate our initial business combination, our insiders or their affiliates
or designees must deposit $0.0333 for each public ordinary share that has not been redeemed into the trust account for each one (1) month
extension in accordance with the terms as set out in the Trust Agreement (as revised by the Trust Amendment). The Company made the first
extension payment on August 9, 2022 to extend the time to complete a business combination from August 10, 2022 to November 10, 2022.
The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal must be made prior to the Current Termination Date,
while the second extension payment must be deposited into the trust account no fewer than five (5) calendar days prior to the then existing
termination date. Both the Trust Agreement and the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will be
amended to reflect the foregoing. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note equal to the amount of
any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination unless there are funds available
outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would be paid upon consummation of our initial business combination. We intend to issue
a press release announcing the deposit of funds promptly after such funds are deposited into the trust account. The full proposed second
amended and restated memorandum and articles of association are attached to this proxy statement as Annex A. All shareholders
are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. However, the Company will
not proceed with the Charter Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net
tangible assets of less than $5,000,001, and in such event, we will not affect the Charter Amendment or the Trust Amendment and we will
move to liquidate the trust account and dissolve the Company promptly after the Annual Meeting.
Reasons
for the Proposed Charter Amendment
The
Company is proposing to amend its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to allow the Company to extend its life
nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from November 10, 2022 to August 10, 2023.
The
Company’s IPO prospectus provides that the Company initially had until May 10, 2023 (after three three-month extensions) to complete
its initial business combination. Our board of directors has determined that it is in the best interests of our shareholders to allow
the Company to extend the time to complete a business combination nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time and provide
that the date for cessation of operations of the Company if the Company has not completed a business combination would similarly be extended
to the Extended Termination Date.
Our
sponsor, Nova Pulsar Holdings Limited (the “Sponsor”), wants to pay an extension amount that is less than the $0.10
for each three-month extension provided by the current Charter and Trust Agreement, on a month-to-month and as-needed basis only. Under
the current Charter and Trust Agreement, each three month extension payment would be $575,000, which if paid monthly instead of every
three months would be $191,667. The amount now proposed to be paid for each monthly extension is $191,475 per month (assuming no redemptions),
which would translate to $574,425 for each three month period. However, this would be contrary to the interests of our remaining public
shareholders, who will have less funds in the Trust Account than if the extension provisions were not amended.
After
consultation with the Sponsor, Company management has reasons to believe that, if the Charter Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals
are approved, the Sponsor or its affiliates will, in connection with each monthly extension, contribute $0.0333 per public share issued
at the Company’s IPO that has not been redeemed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”)
for the Company to deposit the funds into the Trust Account as the Extension Payment, upon five (5) days’ advance notice prior
to the applicable deadlines. The Company made the first extension payment on August 9, 2022 to extend the time to complete a business
combination from August 10, 2022 to November 10, 2022. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal
must be made prior to the Current Termination Date, while the second extension payment must be deposited into the trust account no fewer
than five (5) calendar days prior to the then existing termination date. The contribution(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable
by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Sponsor or its
affiliate if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the
Trust Account. Each of the Charter Amendment, Trust Amendment, proposal for the election of directors and the Adjournment Proposal are
more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.
If
the Charter Amendment proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination or our trust account has not received
the $575,000 extension fee payment by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up, (b) 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 income, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public
shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable
law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and
our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the laws of the British Virgin Islands
to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account
with respect to our warrants or rights which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.
If
the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved, we retain the right to extend the Combination Period by two (2) times for an additional
three (3) months each time from November 10, 2022, to May 10, 2023, by depositing $575,000, or $0.10 for each public share, to the Trust
Account.
If
the Charter Amendment is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by May 10, 2023 (assuming two (2) three-month
extensions), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to
the public shareholders and our warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will expire worthless.
We
may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be
subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in
the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.
Our
Sponsor is Nova Pulsar Holdings Limited, a non-U.S. person. We are therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the
regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as our Sponsor has the ability
to exercise control over us for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. As such, an initial business combination with a U.S. business
may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”),
to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even
with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories
of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction,
we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with
the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination.
CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect
to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first
obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities
that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could
complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose
acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.
Moreover,
the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial
business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by November 10, 2022 (or May 10, 2023 if extended two (2)
times by our Sponsor) because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately
prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may
only receive $[ ] per share, and our warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity
in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.
Vote
Required and Board of Directors’ Recommendation
Approval
of the Charter Amendment to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association requires the affirmative vote of at least
50% of the outstanding shares present. If your shares are held in street name, your broker, bank, custodian, or other nominee holder
cannot vote your shares on this proposal, unless you direct the holder how to vote, by marking your proxy card. Broker non-votes, abstentions
or the failure to vote on the Charter Amendment will not count as a vote cast at the Annual Meeting and will have no effect on the outcome
of the vote on any proposal.
The
Board recommends a vote “FOR” the Charter Amendment.
PROPOSAL
2: THE TRUST AMENDMENT
The
proposed Trust Amendment would amend our existing Trust Agreement, allowing the Company to extend the time available for us to consummate
our initial business combination nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month each time from November 10, 2022 to August 10, 2023 (the
“Trust Amendment”) by depositing into the Trust Account the sum of $0.0333 for each public Ordinary Share that has not been
redeemed for each one-month extension and make other conforming amendments. A copy of the proposed Trust Amendment is attached to this
proxy statement as Annex B. All shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete
description of its terms. The Company made the first extension payment on August 9, 2022 to extend the time to complete a business combination
from August 10, 2022 to November 10, 2022. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal must be made
prior to the Current Termination Date, while the second extension payment must be deposited into the trust account no fewer than five
(5) calendar days prior to the then existing termination date. The insiders will receive a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory
note equal to the amount of any such deposit that will not be repaid in the event that we are unable to close a business combination
unless there are funds available outside the trust account to do so. Such notes would be paid upon consummation of our initial business
combination. The complete text of the proposed amendment is attached to this proxy statement as Annex B. All shareholders are
encouraged to read the proposed amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms. However, the Company will not
proceed with the Trust Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause the Company to have net tangible
assets of less than $5,000,001, and in such event, we will not affect the Charter Amendment or the Trust Amendment and we will move to
liquidate the trust account and dissolve the Company promptly after the Annual Meeting.
Reasons
for the Proposed Trust Amendment
The
Company is proposing to amend its Trust Agreement allow the Company to extend its life nine (9) times for an additional one (1) month
each time from November 10, 2022 to August 10, 2023.
The
Trust Amendment is essential to allow the Company an option to further extend the time to consummate a business combination. Approval
of the Trust Amendment is a condition to the implementation of the extension.
Our
sponsor, Nova Pulsar Holdings Limited (the “Sponsor”), wants to pay an extension amount that is less than the $0.10
for each three-month extension provided by the current Charter and Trust Agreement, on a month-to-month and as-needed basis only. Under
the current Charter and Trust Agreement, each three-month extension payment would be $575,000, which if paid monthly instead of every
three months would be $191,667. The amount now proposed to be paid for each monthly extension is $0.0333 per month (assuming no redemptions),
which would translate to $574,425 for each three-month period. However, this would be contrary to the interests of our remaining public
shareholders, who will have less funds in the Trust Account than if the extension provisions were not amended.
After
consultation with the Sponsor, Company management has reasons to believe that, if the Charter Amendment and Trust Amendment proposals
are approved, the Sponsor or its affiliates will, in connection with each monthly extension, contribute $0.0333 per public share issued
at the IPO that have not been redeemed to the Company as a loan (each loan being referred to herein as a “contribution”)
for the Company to deposit the funds into the Trust Account as the Extension Payment, upon five (5) days’ advance notice prior
to the applicable deadlines. The Company made the first extension payment on August 9, 2022 to extend the time to complete a business
combination from August 10, 2022 to November 10, 2022. The first extension payment after the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal
must be made prior to the Current Termination Date, while the second extension payment must be deposited into the trust account no fewer
than five (5) calendar days prior to the then existing termination date. The contribution(s) will bear no interest and will be repayable
by the Company to the Sponsor upon consummation of an initial business combination. The loans will be forgiven by the Sponsor or its
affiliate if the Company is unable to consummate an initial business combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the
Trust Account. Each of the Charter Amendment, Trust Amendment, proposal for the election of directors and the Adjournment Proposal are
more fully described in the accompanying Proxy Statement.
If
the Trust Amendment proposal is not approved and we have not consummated a business combination or our trust account has not received
the $575,000 extension fee payment by the Current Termination Date, we will (a) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding
up, (b) 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 income, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public
shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable
law, and (c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and
our board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to our obligations under the laws of the British Virgin Islands
to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. There will be no distribution from the trust account
with respect to our warrants or rights which will expire worthless in the event we wind up.
If
the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved, we retain the right to extend the Combination Period by two (2) times for an additional
three (3) months each time from November 10, 2022, to May 10, 2023, by depositing $575,000, or $0.10 for each public share, to the Trust
Account.
If
the Trust Amendment is not approved and we do not consummate an initial business combination by May 10, 2023 (assuming two (2) three-month
extensions), we will be required to dissolve and liquidate our trust account by returning the then remaining funds in such account to
the public shareholders and our warrants to purchase Ordinary Shares will expire worthless.

TRANSACTIONS
WITH RELATED PERSONS, PROMOTERS AND CERTAIN CONTROL
PERSONS
In
March 2021, 1,150,000 insider shares were issued to our Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, and 100,000 insider shares
were issued to Poseidon Ocean Corporation, our advisor, as consideration for its agreeing to be advisor to our board of directors. In
April 2021, the Sponsor transferred 240,000 insider shares to our officers, directors and advisor and we further allotted an aggregate
of 187,500 insider shares to our sponsor, resulting in an aggregate of 1,437,500 ordinary shares outstanding to our initial shareholders.
Simultaneously
with the closing of the IPO, we consummated the private placement with our Sponsor of 307,500 units (the “Private Units”)
at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $3,075,000.
As
of December 31, 2021, we had temporary advances of $9,086 from a related party for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public
Offering. The balance is unsecured, interest-free and has no fixed terms of repayment.
On
August 4, 2022, we issued an unsecured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $575,000 (the “Note”) to the
Sponsor in exchange for Sponsor depositing such amount into the Company’s trust account in order to extend the amount of time it
has available to complete a business combination. The Note does not bear interest and matures upon the closing of a business combination
by the Company. In addition, the Note may be converted by the holder into units of the Company identical to the units issued in the Company’s
initial public offering at a price of $10.00 per unit.
In
order to meet our working capital needs following the consummation of the IPO, our initial shareholders, officers and directors and their
respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds, from time to time or at any time, in whatever amount they deem reasonable
in their sole discretion. Each loan would be evidenced by a promissory note. The notes would either be paid upon consummation
of our initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $500,000 of the notes may be converted
upon consummation of our business combination into private units at a price of $10.00 per unit (which, for example, would result in the
holders being issued units to acquire 50,000 ordinary shares, warrants to purchase 25,000 ordinary shares and rights to receive 5,000
ordinary shares if $500,000 of notes were so converted). Our shareholders have approved the issuance of the units and underlying securities
upon conversion of such notes, to the extent the holder wishes to so convert them at the time of the consummation of our initial business
combination. If we do not complete a business combination, the loans would be repaid out of funds not held in the trust account, and
only to the extent available.
The
holders of our insider shares, as well as the holders of the private units (and all underlying securities), will be entitled to registration
rights pursuant to an agreement signed on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of a majority of these securities are entitled to
make up to two (2) demands that we register such securities. The holders of the majority of the insider shares can elect to exercise
these registration rights at any time commencing three months prior to the date on which these ordinary shares are to be released from
escrow. The holders of a majority of the private units or securities issued in payment of working capital loans can elect to exercise
these registration rights at any time after we consummate a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back”
registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our consummation of a business combination. We will bear
the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Our
Sponsor, has agreed that, commencing on April 1, 2021, it will make available to us certain general and administrative services, including
office space, utilities and administrative support, as we may require from time to time. We have agreed to pay $10,000 per month for
these services. However, pursuant to the terms of such agreement, we may delay payment of such monthly fee upon a determination by our
audit committee that we lack sufficient funds held outside the trust to pay actual or anticipated expenses in connection with our initial
business combination. Any such unpaid amount will accrue without interest and be due and payable no later than the date of the consummation
of our initial business combination. We believe that the fee charged by Nova Pulsar Holdings Limited is at least as favorable as we could
have obtained from an unaffiliated person.
Other
than the fees described above, no compensation or fees of any kind, including finder’s fees, consulting fees or other similar compensation,
will be paid to any of our initial shareholders, officers or directors who owned our ordinary shares prior to the IPO, or to any of their
respective affiliates, prior to or with respect to the business combination (regardless of the type of transaction that it is).
We
will reimburse our officers and directors for any reasonable out-of-pocket business expenses incurred by them in connection with certain
activities on our behalf such as identifying and investigating possible target businesses and business combinations. There is no limit
on the amount of out-of-pocket expenses reimbursable by us; provided, however, that to the extent such expenses exceed the available
proceeds not deposited in the trust account, such expenses would not be reimbursed by us unless we consummate an initial business combination.
Our audit committee will review and approve all reimbursements and payments made to any initial shareholder or member of our management
team, or our or their respective affiliates, and any reimbursements and payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed
and approved by our board of directors, with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.
All
ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective affiliates will be on terms believed
by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions, including the payment of any
compensation, will require prior approval by a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors (to the extent we have
any) or the members of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our
attorneys or independent legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our disinterested “independent”
directors (or, if there are no “independent” directors, our disinterested directors) determine that the terms of such transaction
are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.
Procedures
for Approval of Related Party Transactions
Our
Code of Ethics, which we have adopted upon consummation of the IPO, requires us to avoid, wherever possible, all related party transactions
that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the board of directors (or the audit
committee). Related-party transactions are defined as transactions in which (1) the aggregate amount involved will or may be expected
to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year, (2) we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, and (3) any (a) executive officer, director
or nominee for election as a director, (b) greater than 5% beneficial owner of our ordinary shares, or (c) immediate family member, of
the persons referred to in clauses (a) and (b), has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (other than solely as a result
of being a director or a less than 10% beneficial owner of another entity). A conflict of interest situation can arise when a person
takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest
may also arise if a person, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position.
We
also require each of our directors and executive officers to annually complete a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that
elicits information about related party transactions.
Our
audit committee, pursuant to its written charter, will be responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent
we enter into such transactions. All ongoing and future transactions between us and any of our officers and directors or their respective
affiliates will be on terms believed by us to be no less favorable to us than are available from unaffiliated third parties. Such transactions
will require prior approval by our audit committee and a majority of our uninterested “independent” directors, or the members
of our board who do not have an interest in the transaction, in either case who had access, at our expense, to our attorneys or independent
legal counsel. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our audit committee and a majority of our disinterested “independent”
directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect
to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, we require each of our directors and executive officers to complete
a directors’ and officers’ questionnaire that elicits information about related party transactions.
These
procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a
conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.
To
further minimize potential conflicts of interest, we have agreed not to consummate a business combination with an entity which is affiliated
with any of our initial shareholders unless we obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that the business combination
is fair to our unaffiliated shareholders from a financial point of view. Furthermore, in no event will any of our existing officers,
directors or initial shareholders, or any entity with which they are affiliated, be paid any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other
compensation prior to, or for any services they render in order to effectuate, the consummation of a business combination.
SECTION
16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our officers, directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered
class of our equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers,
directors and ten percent shareholders are required by regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. We
believe that, during the year ended December 31, 2021, all filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than
ten percent beneficial owners were complied with.
DIRECTOR
INDEPENDENCE
The
Company currently has three (3) independent directors: Tin Lun Brian Cheng, Philip Richard Herbert, and Chun Fung Horace Ma. Each is
independent under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
Board
Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, requires our executive officers, directors and persons
who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our ordinary shares and other equity securities. These executive
officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms filed by such reporting persons.
Based
solely on our review of such forms furnished to us and written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all filing
requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were filed in a timely manner.
Audit
Committee
We
established an Audit Committee of the board of directors at the closing of our IPO, which currently consists of Mr. Tin Lun Brian Cheng,
Mr. Philip Richard Herbert, and Mr. Chun Fung Horace Ma, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Chun Fung Horace Ma serves as chairman
of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not
limited to:
|
● |

and discussing with management and the independent auditor the annual audited financial statements, and recommending to the board
whether the audited financial statements should be included in our Form 10-K; |
|

discussing
with management and the independent auditor significant financial reporting issues and judgments made in connection with the preparation
of our financial statements; |

all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditor, including the fees and terms of the
services to be performed; |
|
|
|
|
● |
appointing
or replacing the independent auditor; |
|
|
|
|
● |
determining
the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor (including resolution of disagreements between management and
the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work; |
|
|
|
|
● |
establishing
procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls
or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
approving
reimbursement of expenses incurred by our management team in identifying potential target businesses. |
Financial
Expert on Audit Committee
The
Audit Committee will at all times be composed exclusively of “independent directors” who are “financially literate”
as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards. The Nasdaq listing standards define “financially literate” as being able to
read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement.
In
addition, we must certify to Nasdaq that the committee has, and will continue to have, at least one member who has past employment experience
in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or other comparable experience or background that results
in the individual’s financial sophistication. The board of directors has determined that Eric Lam qualifies as an “Audit
Committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the SEC.
Compensation
Committee
We
established a Compensation Committee of the board of directors at the closing of our IPO, which currently consists of Mr. Tin Lun Brian
Cheng, Mr. Philip Richard Herbert, and Mr. Chun Fung Horace Ma, each of whom is an independent director. Chun Fung Horace Ma serves as
chairman of the Compensation Committee. We adopted a Compensation Committee charter, which details the principal functions of the Compensation
Committee, including:
|
● |
reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our President and Chief Executive Officer’s
compensation, evaluating our President and Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives and
determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our President and Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation; |
|
|
|
|
● |
reviewing
and approving the compensation of all of our other executive officers; |
|
|
|
|
● |
reviewing
our executive compensation policies and plans; |
|
|
|
|
● |
implementing
and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans; |
|
|
|
|
● |
assisting
management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements; |
|
● |
approving
all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers
and employees; |
|
|
|
|
● |
producing
a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and |
|
|
|
|
● |
reviewing,
evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors. |
The
charter also provides that the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such
adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the
Compensation Committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by NASDAQ and the SEC.
Nominating
Committee
We
established a Nominating Committee of the board of directors at the closing of our initial public offering, which currently consists
of Mr. Tin Lun Brian Cheng, Mr. Philip Richard Herbert, and Mr. Chun Fung Horace Ma, each of whom is an independent director. Mr. Chun
Fung Horace Ma serves as chairman of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of
persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The Nominating Committee considers persons identified by its members, management,
shareholders, investment bankers and others. The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in the Nominating Committee Charter,
generally provide that the persons to be nominated:
|
● |
should
have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service; |
|
|
|
|

SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
OF
Nova Vision Acquisition Corp.
A COMPANY
LIMITED BY SHARES
(amended
and restated on [date] 2022)
1 | REGISTERED
SHARES |
| |
1.1 | Every Member is entitled to a certificate signed by a Director of the Company or under the Seal specifying
the number of Shares held by him and the signature of the Director and the Seal may be facsimiles. |
| |
1.2 | Any Member receiving a certificate shall indemnify and hold the Company and its Directors and officers
harmless from any loss or liability which it or they may incur by reason of any wrongful or fraudulent use or representation made by any
person by virtue of the possession thereof. If a certificate for Shares is worn out or lost it may be renewed on production of the worn
out certificate or on satisfactory proof of its loss together with such indemnity as may be required by a Resolution of Directors. |
| |
1.3 | If several Eligible Persons are registered as joint holders of any Shares, any one of such Eligible Persons
may give an effectual receipt for any Distribution. |
| |
1.4 | Nothing in these Articles shall require title to any Shares or other Securities to be evidenced by a certificate
if the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange permit otherwise. |
| |
1.5 | Subject to the Act and the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Board of Directors without further
consultation with the holders of any Shares or Securities may resolve that any class or series of Shares or other Securities in issue
or to be issued from time to time may be issued, registered or converted to uncertificated form and the practices instituted by the operator
of the relevant system. No provision of these Articles will apply to any uncertificated shares or Securities to the extent that they are
inconsistent with the holding of such shares or securities in uncertificated form or the transfer of title to any such shares or securities
by means of a relevant system. |
1.6 | Conversion of Shares held in certificated form into Shares held in uncertificated form, and vice versa,
may be made in such manner as the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may think fit (subject always to the requirements of
the relevant system concerned). The Company or any duly authorised transfer agent shall enter on the register of members how many Shares
are held by each member in uncertificated form and certificated form and shall maintain the register of members in each case as is required
by the relevant system concerned. Notwithstanding any provision of these Articles, a class or series of Shares shall not be treated as
two classes by virtue only of that class or series comprising both certificated shares and uncertificated shares or as a result of any
provision of these Articles which applies only in respect of certificated shares or uncertificated shares. |
| |
1.7 | Nothing contained in Regulation 1.5 and 1.6 is meant to prohibit the Shares from being able to trade electronically.
For the avoidance of doubt, Shares shall only be traded and transferred electronically upon consummation of the IPO. |
| |
2 | SHARES |

2.1 | Subject to the provisions of these Articles and, where applicable, the rules of the Designated Stock Exchange,
the unissued Shares of the Company shall be at the disposal of the Directors and Shares and other Securities may be issued and option
to acquire Shares or other Securities may be granted at such times, to such Eligible Persons, for such consideration and on such terms
as the Directors may by Resolution of Directors determine. |
| |
2.2 | Without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of any existing Shares, the

passed stating: |
| (a) | the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares; and |
| | |
| (b) | that, in their opinion, the present cash value of the non-money consideration for the issue is not less
than the amount to be credited for the issue of the Shares. |
2.6 | The Company shall keep a register (the share register) containing: |
| (a) | the names and addresses of the persons who hold Shares; |
| | |
| (b) | the number of each class and series of Shares held by each Member; |

| (c) | the date on which the name of each Member was entered in the share register; and |

2.7 | The share register may be in any such form as the Directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic
or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until the Directors otherwise determine,
the magnetic, electronic or other data storage form shall be the original share register. |
| |
2.8 | A Share is deemed to be issued when the name of the Member is entered in the share register. |
| |
2.9 | Subject to the provisions of the Act and the Business Combination Articles, Shares may be issued on the
terms that they are redeemable, or at the option of the Company be liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Directors
before or at the time of the issue of such Shares may determine. The Directors may issue options, warrants, rights or convertible securities
or securities or a similar nature conferring the right upon the holders thereof to subscribe for, purchase or receive any class of Shares
or Securities on such terms as the Directors may from time to time determine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Directors may also issue
options, warrants, rights to acquire or receive shares or convertible securities in connection with the Company’s IPO. |
| |
3 | FORFEITURE |
| |
3.1 | Shares that are not fully paid on issue, or are issued with the terms that they are subject to forfeiture

| | |
| (b) | that the transferee’s name should be entered in the share register notwithstanding the absence of
the instrument of transfer. |

able to pay its debts as and when they fall due. |

A Member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. |
|
|
8.12 |
A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy not less than 50 per cent of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. If the Company has two or more classes of shares, a meeting may be quorate for some purposes and not for others. A quorum may comprise a single Member or proxy and then such person may pass a Resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Members. |
|
|
8.13 |
If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting of Members, a quorum is not present, the meeting, at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall either be dissolved or stand adjourned to a business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person or by proxy not less than one third of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote or each class or series of Shares entitled to vote, as applicable, on the matters to be considered by the meeting, those present shall constitute a quorum but otherwise the meeting shall either be dissolved or stand further adjourned at the discretion of the Chairman of the Board of Directors. |
|
|
8.14 |
At every meeting of Members, the Chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman. If the Members are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the person representing the greatest number of voting Shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting shall preside as chairman failing which the oldest individual Member or representative of a Member present shall take the chair. |
|
|
8.15 |
The person appointed as chairman of the meeting pursuant to Regulation 8.14 may adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place. For the avoidance of doubt, a meeting can be adjourned for as many times as may be determined to be necessary by the chairman and a meeting may remain open indefinitely for as long a period as may be determined by the chairman. |
8.16 |
Voting at any meeting of the Members is by show of hands unless a poll is demanded by the chairman. On a show of hands every Member who is present in person (or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy shall have one vote and on a poll every Member shall present in person (or, in the case of a Member being a corporation, by its duly authorized representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for each Share which such Member is the holder. Any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. |
|
|
8.17 |
Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the Directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the Directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company. |
|
|
8.18 |
Any Member other than an individual may by resolution of its Directors or other governing body authorise such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual. |
|
|
8.19 |
The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Member other than an individual may at the meeting but not thereafter call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Member shall be disregarded. |
|
|
8.20 |
Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares. |
8.21 |
Until the consummation of the Company’s IPO, any action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice. If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. Following the Company’s IPO, any action required or permitted to be taken by the Members of the Company must be effected by a meeting of the Company, such meeting to be duly convened and held in accordance with these Articles. |

|
|
9.8 |
A vacancy in relation to Directors occurs if a Director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office. |
9.9 |
The Company shall keep a register of Directors containing: |

|
|

|
(d) |
such other information as may be prescribed by the Act. |
9.10 |
The register of Directors may be kept in any such form as the Directors may approve, but if it is in magnetic, electronic or other data storage form, the Company must be able to produce legible evidence of its contents. Until a Resolution of Directors determining otherwise is passed, the magnetic, electronic or other data storage shall be the original register of Directors. |
|
|
9.11 |
The Directors, or if the Shares (or depository receipts therefore) are listed or quoted on a Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the Designated Stock Exchange, any committee thereof, may, by a Resolution of Directors, fix the emoluments of Directors with respect to services to be rendered in any capacity to the Company. |

|
|
|
|
such transaction must be approved by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors who do not have an interest in the transaction, such directors having been provided with access (at the Company’s expense) to the Company’s attorney or independent legal counsel, unless the disinterested directors determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favourable to the Company than those that would be available to the Company with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties. |
10 |
POWERS OF DIRECTORS |
|
|
10.1 |
The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by, or under the direction or supervision of, the Directors of the Company. The Directors of the Company have all the powers necessary for managing, and for directing and supervising, the business and affairs of the Company. The Directors may pay all expenses incurred preliminary to and in connection with the incorporation of the Company and may exercise all such powers of the Company as are not by the Act or by the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members. |
10.2 |
If the Company is the wholly owned subsidiary of a holding company, a Director of the Company may, when exercising powers or performing duties as a Director, act in a manner which he believes is in the best interests of the holding company even though it may not be in the best interests of the Company. |
|
|
10.3 |
Each Director shall exercise his powers for a proper purpose and shall not act or agree to the Company acting in a manner that contravenes the Memorandum, the Articles or the Act. Each Director, in exercising his powers or performing his duties, shall act honestly and in good faith in what the Director believes to be the best interests of the Company. |
|
|
10.4 |
Any Director which is a body corporate may appoint any individual as its duly authorised representative for the purpose of representing it at meetings of the Directors, with respect to the signing of consents or otherwise. |
|
|
10.5 |
The continuing Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body. |
|
|
10.6 |
Subject to Regulation 23.7, the Directors may by Resolution of Directors exercise all the powers of the Company to incur indebtedness, liabilities or obligations and to secure indebtedness, liabilities or obligations whether of the Company or of any third party, provided always that if the same occurs prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company must first obtain from the lender a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account. |
|
|
10.7 |
All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable instruments and all receipts for moneys paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed, as the case may be, in such manner as shall from time to time be determined by Resolution of Directors. |
|
|
10.8 |
Section 175 of the Act shall not apply to the Company. |
|
|
11 |
PROCEEDINGS OF DIRECTORS |
|
|
11.1 |
Any one Director of the Company may call a meeting of the Directors by sending a written notice to each other Director. |
|
|
11.2 |
The Directors of the Company or any committee thereof may meet at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the notice calling the meeting provides. |
|
|
11.3 |
A Director is deemed to be present at a meeting of Directors if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Directors participating in the meeting are able to hear each other. |
|
|
11.4 |
Until the consummation of a Business Combination, a Director may not appoint an alternate. Following the consummation of a Business Combination, a Director may by a written instrument appoint an alternate who need not be a Director, any such alternate shall be entitled to attend meetings in the absence of the Director who appointed him and to vote or consent in place of the Director until the appointment lapses or is terminated. |
|
|
11.5 |
A Director shall be given not less than three days’ notice of meetings of Directors, but a meeting of Directors held without three days’ notice having been given to all Directors shall be valid if all the Directors entitled to vote at the meeting who do not attend waive notice of the meeting, and for this purpose the presence of a Director at a meeting shall constitute waiver by that Director. The inadvertent failure to give notice of a meeting to a Director, or the fact that a Director has not received the notice, does not invalidate the meeting. |
|
|
11.6 |
A meeting of Directors is duly constituted for all purposes if at the commencement of the meeting there are present in person or, following the consummation of a Business Combination, by alternate not less than one-half of the total number of Directors, unless there are only two Directors in which case the quorum is two. |
|
|
11.7 |
If the Company has only one Director the provisions herein contained for meetings of Directors do not apply and such sole Director has full power to represent and act for the Company in all matters as are not by the Act, the Memorandum or the Articles required to be exercised by the Members. In lieu of minutes of a meeting the sole Director shall record in writing and sign a note or memorandum of all matters requiring a Resolution of Directors. Such a note or memorandum constitutes sufficient evidence of such resolution for all purposes. |
|
|
11.8 |
At meetings of Directors at which the Chairman of the Board is present, he shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no Chairman of the Board or if the Chairman of the Board is not present, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting. If the Directors are unable to choose a chairman for any reason, then the oldest individual Director present (and for this purpose an alternate Director shall be deemed to be the same age as the Director that he represents) shall take the chair. In the case of an equality of votes at a meeting of Directors, the Chairman of the Board shall have a casting vote. |
|
|
11.9 |
An action that may be taken by the Directors or a committee of Directors at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Directors or a resolution of a committee of Directors consented to in writing by all Directors or by all members of the committee, as the case may be, without the need for any notice. The consent may be in the form of counterparts each counterpart being signed by one or more Directors. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the date upon which the last Director has consented to the resolution by signed counterparts. |
|
|
12 |

|
|
12.4 |
The meetings and proceedings of each committee of Directors consisting of 2 or more Directors shall be governed mutatis mutandis by the provisions of the Articles regulating the proceedings of Directors so far as the same are not superseded by any provisions in the Resolution of Directors establishing the committee. |

|
|
14 |
CONFLICT OF INTERESTS |
|
|
14.1 |
A Director of the Company shall, forthwith after becoming aware of the fact that he is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company, disclose the interest to all other Directors of the Company. |
|
|
14.2 |
For the purposes of Regulation 14.1, a disclosure to all other Directors to the effect that a Director is a member, Director or officer of another named entity or has a fiduciary relationship with respect to the entity or a named individual and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction which may, after the date of the entry or disclosure, be entered into with that entity or individual, is a sufficient disclosure of interest in relation to that transaction. |
|
|
14.3 |
Provided that the requirements of Regulation 9.13 have first been satisfied, a Director of the Company who is interested in a transaction entered into or to be entered into by the Company may: |
|
(a) |
vote on a matter relating to the transaction; |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
attend a meeting of Directors at which a matter relating to the transaction arises and be included among the Directors present at the meeting for the purposes of a quorum; and |
|
|
|
|
(c) |
sign a document on behalf of the Company, or do any other thing in his capacity as a Director, that relates to the transaction, |
|
|
|
|
and, subject to compliance with the Act and these Articles shall not, by reason of his office be accountable to the Company for any benefit which he derives from such transaction and no such transaction shall be liable to be avoided on the grounds of any such interest or benefit. |
15 |
INDEMNIFICATION |
|
|
15.1 |
Subject to the limitations hereinafter provided the Company shall indemnify, hold harmless and exonerate against all direct and indirect costs, fees and Expenses of any type or nature whatsoever, any person who: |
|
(a) |
is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, key employee, adviser of the Company or who at the request of the Company; or |
|
|
|
|
(b) |
is or was, at the request of the Company, serving as a Director of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise. |
15.2 |
The indemnity in Regulation 15.1 only applies if the relevant Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. |
|
|
15.3 |
The decision of the Directors as to whether an Indemnitee acted honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company and as to whether such Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful is, in the absence of fraud, sufficient for the purposes of the Articles, unless a question of law is involved. |
|
|
15.4 |
The termination of any Proceedings by any judgment, order, settlement, conviction or the entering of a nolle prosequi does not, by itself, create a presumption that the relevant Indemnitee did not act honestly and in good faith and with a view to the best interests of the Company or that such Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. |
|
|
15.5 |
The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, purchase or furnish similar protection or make other arrangements including, but not limited to, providing a trust fund, letter of credit, or surety bond in relation to any Indemnitee or who at the request of the Company is or was serving as a Director, officer or liquidator of, or in any other capacity is or was acting for, another Enterprise, against any liability asserted against the person and incurred by him in that capacity, whether or not the Company has or would have had the power to indemnify him against the liability as provided in these Articles. |

BUSINESS COMBINATION |
|
|
23.1 |
Regulations 23.1 to 23.11 shall terminate upon consummation of any Business Combination. |
|
|
23.2 |
The Company has until 12 months (or 15 months if the Company have filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO but have not completed the Business Combination within such 12-month period) from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination, provided however that if the Board of Directors anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination (i) within 12 months in the situation where the Company has not filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for a Business Combination within such 12-month period, or (ii) within 15 months in the situation where the Company has filed within such 12-month period, the Company may, by Resolution of Directors, at the request of the Initial Shareholders, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to nine (9) times, each by an additional one month (for a total of up to 24 months to complete a Business Combination), subject to the Initial Shareholders or its affiliates or designees depositing additional funds into the Trust Account in accordance with terms as set out in the Trust Agreement and referred to in the Registration Statement. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 12 months (or 15 months if the Company has filed a proxy statement, registration statement or similar filing for an initial business combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO but has not completed the Business Combination within such 15-month period) from the closing of the IPO or within up to 24 months from the closing of the IPO (subject in the latter case to valid nine one-month extensions having been made in each case) (such date falling 12 months or 15 months or up to 24 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 (i) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter to redeem the Public Shares in cash at a per-share amount equal to the applicable Per-Share Redemption Price; and (ii) as promptly as practicable, to cease all operations except for the purpose of making such distribution and any subsequent winding up of the Company’s affairs. In the event of an Automatic Redemption Event, only the holders of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive pro rata redeeming distributions from the Trust Account (including interests but net of taxes payable and less up to US$50,000 of interests to pay liquidation expenses) with respect to their Public Shares. |
|
|
23.3 |
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. |
|
|
23.4 |
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. |
|
(a) |
In the event that a Business Combination is consummated by the Company other than in connection with a shareholder vote under Regulation 23.4, 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 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 Regulation 23.4 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, 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 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 fifteen percent (15%) 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 Regulation 23.5(a) or 23.5(b) or an Amendment Redemption Event under Regulation 23.11 if such redemptions would cause the Company to have net tangible assets of less than US$5,000,001 (and after payment of underwriters’ fees and commissions) prior to or upon consummation of a Business Combination. |
23.6 |
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. |
|
|
23.7 |
Following the IPO, the Company will not issue any Securities (other than Public Shares) prior to a Business Combination that would entitle the holder thereof to (i) receive funds from the Trust Account; or (ii) vote on any Business Combination. |
|
|
23.8 |
In the event the Company seeks to complete a Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with an Initial Shareholder, the Company will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm which is a member of FINRA or independent accounting firm that such a Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view. |
|
|
23.9 |
The Company will not effectuate a Business Combination with another “blank cheque” company or a similar company with nominal operations. |
|
|
23.10 |
Immediately after the Company’s IPO, that amount of the net proceeds received by the Company from the IPO (including proceeds of any exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option) and from the simultaneous private placement by the Company as is stated in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC (such registration statement at the time it initially goes effective, the Registration Statement) to 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 Regulation 23. 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 Regulation 23, 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 and up to US$50,000 of such interest may also be released from the Trust Account to pay any liquidation expenses of the Company if applicable. |
|
|
23.11 |
In the event the Directors of the Company propose any amendment to Regulation 23 or to any of the other rights of the Shares as set out at Clause 6.1 of the Memorandum 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 Regulation 23 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 (i) duly approved by a Resolution of Members; and (ii) the amended Memorandum and Articles reflecting such amendment are to be filed at the Registry of Corporate Affairs (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 pursuant to such offer, whether or not such holders accept such offer. |
