Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

As previously disclosed, on March 20, 2023, Northern Revival Acquisition Corporation, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“NRAC” or the “Company”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Original Business Combination Agreement”) by and among NRAC, Northern Revival Sponsor LLC (the Company’s sponsor, “Sponsor”), Braiin Limited, an Australian public company limited by shares (“Braiin”), and certain Braiin shareholders (the “Braiin Supporting Shareholders”) who collectively own 100% of the outstanding ordinary shares of Braiin (the “Braiin Shares”). Pursuant to the terms of the Original Business Combination Agreement, a business combination between NRAC and Braiin (the “Business Combination”) would be effected as a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Class A Ordinary Shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of NRAC (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $190 million (the “Original Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued would be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that Braiin would acquire PowerTec Holdings Ltd., an Australian distributor that supplies connectivity solutions to individuals and businesses around the world (“PowerTec”). Following the Original Share Exchange, Braiin would continue as a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company would change its name to “Braiin Holdings.”

On October 1, 2023, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) by and among NRAC, the Sponsor, Braiin, Braiin Holdings Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“PubCo”) and wholly owned subsidiary of NRAC, and Braiin Supporting Shareholders. Pursuant to the terms of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will be effected in two steps: (i) subject to the approval and adoption of the Amended and Restated Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of NRAC, NRAC will merge with and into PubCo and wholly owned subsidiary of NRAC with PubCo remaining as the surviving publicly traded entity (the “Initial Business Combination”); and (ii) a share exchange in which Braiin shareholders exchange 100% of their Braiin Shares for a pro rata portion of Ordinary Shares, par value $1.00 per share, of PubCo (the “PubCo Ordinary Shares”) with an aggregate value of $572 million (the “Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be issued will be based upon a per share value of $10.00. The aggregate value is subject to adjustment up or down based upon certain indebtedness and cash on hand of Braiin as set forth in its audited financial statements. Prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that Braiin will acquire PowerTec and Vega Global Technologies Pty Ltd., an Australian agricultural technology company (“Vega”). Following the Share Exchange, Braiin will continue as a subsidiary of PubCo. We refer to PubCo after giving effect to the Business Combination, as “New Braiin.”

The foregoing summary of the Business Combination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Business Combination Agreement which is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, the Company and Braiin have caused PubCo to file a registration statement on Form F-4 (File No.: 333-274830) with the SEC on October 2, 2023.

Important Information for Investors and Stockholders

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, NRAC and Braiin have caused PubCo to file a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which includes a document that serves as a prospectus and proxy statement, referred to as a “proxy statement/prospectus.” A proxy statement/prospectus will be sent to all NRAC shareholders. NRAC also will file other documents regarding the Business Combination and related transactions with the SEC. Before making any voting decision, investors and security holders of NRAC are urged to read the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction as they become available because they will contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and related transactions.

Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy statement/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by NRAC through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report on Form 8-K are not historical facts but are forward-looking statements within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “shall,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “future,” “outlook,” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of the closing of the Initial Business Combination and the Share Exchange, achievement of the conditions necessary for the closing of the Business Combination, other performance metrics and projections of market opportunity. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K and on the current expectations of the respective management teams of NRAC and Braiin and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of NRAC and Braiin. Some important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in any forward-looking statements could include changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions.

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including, among others, the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination, including the risk that any required regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions that could adversely affect NRAC or the expected benefits of the Business Combination, if not obtained; the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; matters discovered by the parties as they complete their respective due diligence investigation of the other parties; the ability of NRAC prior to the Business Combination, and New Braiin following the Business Combination, to maintain the listing of New Braiin’s shares on Nasdaq; costs related to the Business Combination; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of the Business Combination Agreement by the shareholders of NRAC, the ability of NRAC and Braiin to attract Transaction Financing, the satisfaction of the minimum cash requirements of the Business Combination Agreement following any redemptions by NRAC’s public shareholders; the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed by the stated deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the stated deadline; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against NRAC or Braiin related to the Business Combination, the ability of Braiin to complete its planned acquisition of PowerTec and Vega, the attraction and retention of qualified directors, officers, employees and key personnel of NRAC and Braiin prior to the Business Combination and New Braiin following the Business Combination; the ability of New Braiin to compete effectively in a highly competitive market; the ability to protect and enhance New Braiin’s corporate reputation and brand; the impact from future regulatory, judicial, and legislative changes in New Braiin’s industry; and, the uncertain effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; future financial performance of New Braiin following the Business Combination; the ability of Braiin and New Braiin to forecast and maintain an adequate rate of revenue growth and appropriately plan its expenses; the ability of New Braiin to generate sufficient revenue from each of its revenue streams; the ability of New Braiin to protect its intellectual property from competitors; New Braiin’s ability to execute its business plans and strategy; and those factors set forth in documents of NRAC filed, or to be filed, with the SEC. The foregoing list of risks is not exhaustive.

If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither NRAC nor Braiin presently know, or that NRAC and Braiin currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect NRAC’s and Braiin’s current expectations, plans and forecasts of future events and views as of the date hereof. Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the attachments hereto should be regarded as a representation by any person that the forward-looking statements set forth herein will be achieved or that any of the contemplated results of such forward-looking statements will be achieved. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K and the attachments hereto, which speak only as of the date they are made and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein and the risk factors of NRAC and Braiin described above. NRAC and Braiin anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause their assessments to change. However, while NRAC and Braiin may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they each specifically disclaim any obligation to do so, except as required by law. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing NRAC’s or Braiin’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.

Participants in the Solicitation

NRAC and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from NRAC’s shareholders with respect to the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of those directors and executive officers and a description of their interests in NRAC is contained in NRAC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on May 1, 2023, as supplemented by its subsequent filings on Form 8-K, and the DEF 14A filed with the SEC on August 16, 2023, all of which are available free of charge at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to NRAC at 4001 Kennett Pike, Suite 302, Wilmington, DE 19807. Additional information regarding the interests of such participants will be contained in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Business Combination when available.

Braiin and its directors and executive officers may also be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the shareholders of NRAC in connection with the proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of such directors and executive officers and information regarding their interests in the proposed Business Combination will be included in the proxy statement/prospectus for the proposed Business Combination when available.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report on Form 8-K does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

At the Initial Merger Effective Time (as defined in Section 2.02), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, Acquiror shall be merged with and into PubCo, the separate corporate existence of Acquiror shall cease and PubCo shall continue as the surviving company. PubCo as the surviving company after the Initial Merger is hereinafter referred to, after the Initial Merger Effective Time, as “PubCo” or “Initial Merger Surviving Corporation.”

2.02 Initial Merger Effective Time. Following the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and the Acquiror Organizational Documents) of the conditions set forth in Article X (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at such time), unless another time or date, or both, are agreed in writing by the Company and Acquiror, Acquiror shall cause the Initial Merger to be consummated one Business Day before the Closing Date (the date of such Initial Merger, or such later time as specified in the documents filed to effect such Merger in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act, being the “Initial Merger Effective Time”).

2.03 Effect of the Initial Merger. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, the effect of the Initial Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Plan of Merger and the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Acquiror shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of PubCo, which shall include the assumption by PubCo of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Acquiror set forth in this Agreement to be performed after the Initial Merger Effective Time, and all securities of PubCo issued and outstanding as a result of the conversion under Section 2.07 hereof shall be listed on the public trading market on which the Acquiror securities may be trading at such time.

2.04 Memorandum and Articles of Association. Effective at the Initial Merger Effective Time, the memorandum and articles of association of PubCo shall be amended and restated in its entirety in a form to be agreed by the Parties and shall be thereafter amended in accordance with its terms, the Governing Documents of PubCo and as provided by Applicable Law.

2.05 Directors and Officers of PubCo. The Parties shall take all actions necessary or appropriate (including securing resignations or removals and making such appointments as are necessary) to cause, effective as of the Closing, the PubCo Board to consist of a total of five directors; all determined by the Company which include a sufficient number of independent directors meeting the listing requirements of Nasdaq.

2.06 Sponsor Share Forfeiture. Immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, the Sponsor shall surrender 1,500,000 Acquiror Class A Ordinary Shares.

2.07 Effect on Issued Securities of Acquiror.

(a) Conversion of Acquiror Ordinary Shares. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, every Acquiror Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one PubCo Ordinary Share. Such conversion will take effect as a redemption of Acquiror Ordinary Shares and an issuance of PubCo Ordinary Shares. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, all Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be converted or canceled (as the case may be) and shall cease to exist. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Acquiror Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Acquiror Ordinary Shares, except as provided herein or by Applicable Law. Each certificate previously evidencing Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the same number of PubCo Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.08.

(b) Acquiror Units. Immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, each issued and outstanding Acquiror Unit shall separate into its individual components of one Acquiror Ordinary Share and one-half of one Acquiror Warrant and all Acquiror Units shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled. Each individually-separated component shall, at the Initial Merger Effective Time, be converted into one PubCo Ordinary Share and one-half of one PubCo Warrant; provided that no fractional warrants will be issued. The holders of certificates previously evidencing Acquiror Units outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Acquiror Units, except as provided herein or by Applicable Law.

(c) Acquiror Warrants. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding Acquiror Warrant immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one PubCo Warrant. The certificates previously evidencing Acquiror Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time shall represent an equal number of PubCo Warrants after the Initial Merger Effective time.

(d) Cancellation of Acquiror Ordinary Shares Owned by Acquiror. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, if there are any Acquiror Ordinary Shares that are owned by the Acquiror as treasury shares or any Acquiror Ordinary Shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquiror immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, such shares shall be surrendered without any payment therefor.

(e) Cancellation of PubCo Ordinary Shares Owned by Acquiror. At the Initial Merger Effective Time, every issued and outstanding share(s) of PubCo owned by Acquiror, being the only issued and outstanding share(s) in PubCo immediately prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time, shall be canceled without any conversion thereof or payment therefor.

(f) Transfers of Ownership. If any securities of PubCo are to be issued in a name other than that in which the certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed (or accompanied by an appropriate instrument of transfer) and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange will have paid to PubCo or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of securities of PubCo in any name other than that of the registered holder of the certificate surrendered, or established to the satisfaction of PubCo or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.07, none of the Parties shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.08 Surrender of Securities. All PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants issued upon the surrender of Acquiror Securities in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Acquiror Securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of Acquiror Ordinary Shares and Acquiror Warrants shall also apply to the PubCo Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants so issued in exchange.

2.09 Lost Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any certificates of Acquiror Securities shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, PubCo shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof; provided, however, that PubCo may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against PubCo with respect to the certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.10 Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment. For U.S. Federal income tax purposes, the Initial Merger is intended to constitute a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment”). Acquiror and PubCo hereby adopt, and the Company acknowledges, this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 1.368-2(g) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Acquiror and PubCo agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Section 1.368-3 of the United States Treasury Regulations. The Parties hereby agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar state, local or non-U.S. final determination) or a change in applicable Law, or based on a change in the facts and circumstances underlying the Transactions from the terms described in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Parties acknowledge and agree that no Party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of the Initial Merger for the Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Initial Merger Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. Each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that each (a) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Initial Merger is determined not to qualify for the Reorganization Intended Tax Treatment.

2.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Initial Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest PubCo with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Acquiror, the officers and directors of Acquiror and PubCo are fully authorized in the name of their respective companies or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.12 Agreement of Fair Value. Acquiror, PubCo and the Company respectively agree that the consideration payable for the Acquiror Securities represents the fair value of such Acquiror Securities for the purposes of Applicable Law.

CLOSING; CONVERSION OF COMPANY CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES; SHARE EXCHANGE

3.01 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place as promptly as practicable, at least one (1) Business Day following the Initial Merger. The date on which the Closing is held is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Closing will take place remotely via exchange of documents and signature pages via electronic transmission.

3.02 Conversion of Company Convertible Securities. Prior to the Effective Time, all Company Convertible Securities outstanding shall be converted into Company Shares in accordance with the agreements governing such Company Convertible Securities. In connection therewith, all such holders shall enter into agreements with PubCo acknowledging full release of all claims in connection with the underlying agreements.

3.03 Share Exchange. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company, the Company Shareholders and PubCo shall execute and deliver a Share Sale Agreement (the “Share Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company Shareholders shall be entitled to have issued to them by PubCo, in the aggregate, shares of PubCo Ordinary Shares (the “Exchange Shares”) with an aggregate value equal to the Equity Value. The aggregate number of Exchange Shares shall be determined by dividing the Equity Value by $10.00. Each Company Shareholder shall receive its pro rata share of the Exchange Shares based on the percentage of Company Shares owned by such Seller as compared to the total number of Company Shares owned by all Company Shareholders immediately prior to the Effective Time but after the conversion of all Company Convertible Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share will be issued by PubCo by virtue of this Agreement or the Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a PubCo Ordinary Share (after aggregating all fractional PubCo Ordinary Shares that would otherwise be received by such Person) shall instead have the number of PubCo Ordinary Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole PubCo Ordinary Share.

3.04 Equitable Adjustments. If, between the date of this Agreement and the Initial Merger Effective Time, the outstanding Acquiror Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock or share dividend, subdivision, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, or if there shall have been any breach of Section 6.14(a) of this Agreement by Acquiror with respect to the number of its issued and outstanding Acquiror Ordinary Shares (or any other issued and outstanding equity security interests in Acquiror) or rights to acquire Acquiror Ordinary Shares (or any other equity security interests in Acquiror), then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of Company Shares or Acquiror Ordinary Shares (or any other equity security interests in Acquiror), as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the holders of Company Shares or the holders of Acquiror Ordinary Shares, as applicable, the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event; provided, however, that this Section 3.04 shall not be construed to permit Acquiror or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3.05 Delivery of Consideration.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the target Closing Date agreed between the Parties, Acquiror and PubCo shall provide to the Company, who shall cause to be delivered to each Company Shareholder at the address provided to Acquiror and PubCo by the Company, a letter of transmittal (the “Letter of Transmittal”), which shall (i) have customary representations and warranties as to title, authorization, execution and delivery, (ii) have a customary release of all claims against PubCo and the Company arising out of or related to such holder’s ownership of Company Shares, and (iii) specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Company Shares shall pass, only upon delivery of the Company Shares to PubCo (including all certificates representing Company Shares to the extent such Company Shares are certificated), together with instructions thereto.

(b) Upon the receipt of a Letter of Transmittal (accompanied with all Company Securities representing Company Shares, to the extent such Company Shares are certificated) duly, completely and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by Acquiror and PubCo, the holder of such Company Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing, the consideration described in Section 3.01(b). Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.05(b) together with the delivery of a duly, completely and validly executed Letter of Transmittal, each Company Share shall be deemed at any time from and after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the consideration described in Section 3.01(a) which the holders of Company Shares were entitled to receive in respect of such shares pursuant to this Section 3.05(b).

3.06 Lost Securities. In the event any Company Security has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, upon the delivery of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Company Security to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by PubCo, the provision by such Person of a customary indemnity against any claim that may be made against Acquiror with respect to such Company Security, PubCo shall issue or pay in exchange for such lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Company Security the consideration issuable or payable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Section 3.06.

3.08 Withholding. Each of Acquiror, PubCo and the Company and their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise deliverable or payable under this Agreement such amounts that any such Persons are required to deduct and withhold with respect to any of the deliveries and payments contemplated by this Agreement under the Code or any other applicable Law; provided that before making any deduction or withholding pursuant to this Section 3.08 other than with respect to compensatory payments made pursuant to this Agreement, Acquiror and PubCo shall use commercially reasonably efforts to give the Company at least five (5) days prior written notice of any anticipated deduction or withholding to provide the Company with sufficient opportunity to provide any forms or other documentation from the applicable equity holders or take such other steps in order to avoid such deduction or withholding and shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to reduce or eliminate any amounts that would otherwise be deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 3.08. To the extent that Acquiror, PubCo, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates withholds such amounts with respect to any Person and properly remits such withheld amounts to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated as having been paid to or on behalf of such Person for all purposes of this Agreement.

There are no side letters and there are no agreements, Contracts, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, with the Trustee or any other Person that would (i) cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Acquiror SEC Reports to be inaccurate or (ii) entitle any Person (other than any Acquiror Shareholder who is a Redeeming Shareholder) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except in accordance with the Trust Agreement, Acquiror Organizational Documents and Acquiror’s final prospectus dated February 1, 2021.

7.03 No Acquiror Ordinary Share Transactions. From and after the date of this Agreement until the Effective Time, except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall not engage in any transactions involving the securities of Acquiror without the prior consent of Acquiror if the Company possesses material nonpublic information of Acquiror.

7.04 No Claim Against the Trust Account. The Company acknowledges that Acquiror is a special purpose acquisition company with the power and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses or assets, and the Company has read Acquiror’s final prospectus, dated February 1, 2021, and other Acquiror SEC Reports, the Acquiror Organizational Documents, and the Trust Agreement and understands that Acquiror has established the Trust Account described therein for the benefit of Acquiror’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth therein. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that Acquiror’s sole assets consist of the cash proceeds of Acquiror’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities, and that substantially all of these proceeds have been deposited in the Trust Account for the benefit of its public shareholders. The Company further acknowledges that, if the Transactions are not consummated by September 4, 2023, or such later date as approved by the shareholders of Acquiror to complete a Business Combination, Acquiror will be obligated to return to its shareholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account, any trustee of the Trust Account and Acquiror to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Acquiror or any of its Affiliates for any reason whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time for any reason whatsoever. This Section 7.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

7.05 Proxy Solicitation; Other Actions.

(a) The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Acquiror, for inclusion in the Registration Statement, to be filed by Acquiror hereunder, the audited financial statements, including balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of redeemable preferred stock and shareholders deficit and statements of cash flows as of and for the periods as are required by the SEC for the purposes of the Registration Statement), together with the auditor’s reports thereon (the “SEC Financial Statements”), and the unaudited financial statements including balance sheets, statements of operations, statements of redeemable preferred stock and shareholders’ deficit and statements of cash flows as of and for such periods as are required by the SEC for the purposes of the Registration Statement) (the “Unaudited SEC Financial Statements” and, together with the SEC Financial Statements, the “Consolidated Financial Statements”), in each case, prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X under the Securities Act (except (x) as otherwise noted therein to the extent permitted by Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and (y) in the case of the Unaudited SEC Financial Statements, subject to normal and recurring year-end adjustments and the absence of notes thereto) and audited in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB. The Company shall be available to, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to make its officers and employees available to, in each case, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advanced notice, Acquiror and its counsel in connection with responding in a timely manner to comments on the Registration Statement from the SEC.

(b) From and after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, the Company will give Acquiror prompt written notice of any action taken or not taken by the Company or of any development regarding the Company, in any such case which, to the knowledge of the Company, would cause the Registration Statement to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, if any such action shall be taken or fail to be taken or such development shall otherwise occur, Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate fully to cause an amendment or supplement to be made promptly to the Registration Statement, such that the Registration Statement no longer contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided further, however, that no information received by Acquiror pursuant to this Section 7.05 shall operate as a waiver or otherwise affect any representation, warranty or agreement given or made by the party who disclosed such information, and no such information shall be deemed to change, supplement or amend the Company Schedules.

7.06 Certain Transaction Agreements. Unless otherwise approved in writing by Acquiror (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company shall not permit any amendment or modification to be made to, or any waiver (in whole or in part) of, or provide consent to (including consent to termination) any provision or remedy under, or any replacement of the Company Support Agreement. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to satisfy in all material respects on a timely basis all conditions and covenants applicable to the Company in the Company Support Agreement and otherwise comply with its obligations thereunder and to enforce its rights under each such agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give Acquiror prompt written notice of: (A) any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, could give rise to any breach or default) by any party to the Company Support Agreement; and (B) the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any other party to the Company Support Agreement with respect to any actual, potential, threatened or claimed expiration, lapse, withdrawal, breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party under any such agreement or any provisions of any such agreement.
