*The Common Stock (the “Shares”) of the Issuer reported herein are held by private funds managed by ATW SPAC Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Adviser”), which has been delegated exclusive authority to vote and/or direct the disposition of such Shares and does not reflect the beneficial ownership with respect to certain affiliated entities of the Adviser which is reflected on ATW Opportunities Master Fund II, L.P.’s Schedule 13G filing(s).

For the purposes of Reg. Section 240.13d-3, the Managing Members may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 2,351,305 Shares, or 7.4%, of the 31,874,663 Shares outstanding as of December 12, 2023, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 8K filed with the SEC on December 18, 2023. Such information is also reflected on the Adviser’s affiliate’s Schedule 13G.

 

This report shall not be deemed an admission that any reporting person or any other person is the beneficial owner of the securities reported herein for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Each of the reporting persons herein disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares reported herein except to the extent of the reporting person’s pecuniary interest, if any, therein.
