The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain customary and limited circumstances, including, without limitation, (i) by mutual written consent of FACT and PAD; (ii) by written notice by either FACT or PAD, if the Closing has not occurred by March 31, 2026, unless a breach or violation by such party or its affiliates of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation under the Business Combination Agreement was the principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur by such date; (iii) by written notice by either FACT or PAD, in the event an applicable governmental, regulatory or administrative authority has enacted, issued or enforced a final and non-appealable law, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, order or award having the effect of making the Business Combination illegal or otherwise prohibiting, restraining or imposing any condition of the consummation of the Business Combination; (iv) by written notice by FACT or PAD, if FACT or PAD, as applicable, has breached any of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, and such failure or breach would render certain conditions precedents to the Closing incapable of being satisfied, and such breach or failure is not cured by the time allotted in the Business Combination Agreement; (v) by written notice by FACT or PAD, if the board of FACT or PAD, as applicable, has made a Change in Recommendation (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (vi) by written notice by FACT or PAD, as applicable, if the PAD shareholder meeting is held and the Required SPAC Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) was not obtained; or (vii) by written notice by FACT if, PAD shall have failed to deliver duly executed copies of PAD Support Agreements (as defined below) between PAD, FACT, and such number of PAD shareholders that constitute the Requisite Majority (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) unless such action violates or is reasonably expected to result in a violation Section 5 of the Securities Act; provided, however, in the case of (ii) and (iii), such ability to terminate is only available if failure by the party seeking to terminate the Business Combination Agreement to fulfill any obligation under the Business Combination Agreement has not been the principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur or the legal restraint to be implemented.

Effect of Termination

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated, it will become null and void, and there will be no liability under the Business Combination Agreement on the part of any party thereto, except for any liability on the part of any party for any willful and material breach of the Business Combination Agreement, except that each of (i) the covenants of the parties with respect to confidentiality, (ii) the agreement by each party to pay its own fees and expenses, (iii) the parties’ waiver of claims against the Trust Account, and (iv) the provisions of Article XI of the Business Combination Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements included in this Current Report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “should,” “would,” “plan,” “predict,” “potential,” “seem,” “seek,” “future,” “outlook” and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of other financial and performance metrics and projections of market opportunity; the size and growth potential of the markets for PAD’s products and services; potential benefits of the Business Combination; future performance and anticipated financial impacts of the Business Combination; the satisfaction of the closing conditions of the Business Combination; expectations relating to the Business Combination, including the proceeds of the Business Combination, any financing related to the Business Combination and PAD’s expected cash runway and the timing of the Closing. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report, and on the current expectations of PAD’s and FACT’s management 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 an 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 may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of PAD and FACT. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination or any transaction or financing related to the Business Combination, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions (such as any SEC statements or enforcements or other actions relating to special purpose acquisition companies) that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination or any transaction or financing related to the Business Combination; the risk that the approval of the shareholders of FACT or any other condition to Closing is not obtained; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; risks relating to any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FACT, the combined company or others following the announcement of the Business Combination; risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information with respect to PAD and the combined company; the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; global economic and political conditions; the amount of redemption requests made by FACT’s public shareholders; and those factors discussed in documents that FACT has filed or will file with the SEC. Additional risks related to PAD’s business include, but are not limited to: the ability to negotiate definitive contractual arrangements with potential customers; the effects of competition on PAD’s future business; expectations regarding the timing of acquisitions and the performance of PAD’s current operating entities and acquisition targets, if such acquisitions are successfully completed; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of PAD’s ongoing acquisitions and potential acquisition targets; and the risk that the Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of FACT or PAD as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Business Combination.

If any of these risks materialize or FACT’s or PAD’s expectations or assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither FACT nor PAD presently know or that FACT and PAD 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 FACT’s and PAD’s expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. FACT and PAD anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause FACT’s and PAD’s assessments to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing FACT’s and PAD’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Neither FACT, PAD, nor any of their respective affiliates undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

No Offer or Solicitation

This Current Report shall not constitute a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any securities or in respect of the Business Combination, or an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities. No offering of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any states or jurisdictions in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Neither the SEC nor any securities commission of any other U.S. or non-U.S. jurisdiction has approved or disapproved of the Business Combination contemplated hereby or determined that this Current Report is truthful or complete.

(a) SponsorConsideration. At the Closing, SPAC will issue or allocate to Sponsor (i) 3,300,000 SPAC Shares, minus (ii) the number of SPAC Shares held by Sponsor immediately prior to Closing, including such SPAC Shares issuable upon the conversion or exchange of any other securities of the SPAC issued to Sponsor at the IPO.

(b) Reserveof Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares. At the Closing, SPAC will set aside and reserve 1,200,000 SPAC Shares for issuance (such shares, the “Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares”), which Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares will be issuable to Sponsor during the Performance Bonus Period in accordance with Section 1.7(c).

(c) Issuanceof Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares. During the Performance Bonus Period, within five Business Days after the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares (which shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or other like changes or transactions with respect to SPAC Shares occurring on or after the Closing) or a portion thereof, will be issuable to the Sponsor, as follows:

(i)

upon the occurrence of Triggering Event I, a one-time issuance of 300,000 Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or other like changes or transactions with respect to SPAC Shares occurring on or after the Closing but prior to Triggering Event I);

(ii)	upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, a one-time issuance of such number of Sponsor Performance<br>Bonus Shares equal to the quotient of $4,500,000 divided by $15.00, which equates to 300,000 Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares; and
(iii)	a one-time issuance of (A) 300,000 Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares if, after the exercise of the Redemption<br>Rights by SPAC Shareholders, the Trust Account has a balance of not less than $35.0 million as of the Closing or (B) 600,000 Sponsor Performance<br>Bonus Shares if, after the exercise of the Redemption Rights by SPAC Shareholders, the Trust Account has a balance of not less than $70,000,000<br>(in each case, “Triggering Event III”), in each case after giving effect to the Transactions, including the<br>PIPE Investment.
---	---

(ii)

upon the occurrence of Triggering Event II, a one-time issuance of such number of Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares equal to the quotient of $4,500,000 divided by $15.00, which equates to 300,000 Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares; and

---

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor shall be entitled to receive the applicable portion of the Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares, or applicable portion thereof, upon the occurrence of each Triggering Event; provided, however, that each Triggering Event shall only occur once, if at all, and in no event (other than as a result of rounding up fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.7(f)) shall the Sponsor be entitled to receive more than the aggregate amount of Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares (as equitably adjusted for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations, exchanges of shares or other like changes or transactions with respect to SPAC Shares occurring on or after the Closing but prior to the occurrence of each applicable Triggering Event).

(e) If, during the Performance Bonus Period, there is a Change of Control Transaction with respect to SPAC or the Surviving Company (or a successor thereof), Triggering Event II shall have been deemed to occur if the per share consideration paid in such Change of Control Transaction is equal to or in excess of $15.00.

(f) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, all Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares that are not issued, or otherwise earned and committed to be issued, to the Sponsor pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be deemed surrendered and forfeited and shall no longer be available for issuance to the Sponsor, immediately upon the expiration of the Performance Bonus Period.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a Sponsor Performance Bonus Share will be issued by virtue of any Triggering Event, and if the Sponsor would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a Sponsor Performance Bonus Share (after aggregating all fractional Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares that otherwise would be received by the Sponsor in connection with the occurrence of such Triggering Event) shall instead have the number of Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares issued to the Sponsor rounded up to the nearest whole Sponsor Performance Bonus Share.

(h) The rights to the Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares (i) are solely contractual rights, (ii) will not be evidenced by a certificate, do not constitute securities or other instruments and are not readily marketable, and (iii) may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed of, in whole or in part.

1.8 Satisfaction of Rights. All securities issued upon the surrender of securities of the Company (the “Company Securities”) in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Securities.

1.9 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Company Certificates. In the event any certificates representing Company Securities shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of such fact and indemnity by the Person claiming such certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, SPAC shall issue, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed certificates, as the case may be, such securities as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6 and Section 1.7.

1.10 Stock Transfer Books. At the Merger Effective Time, the register of stockholders of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Securities thereafter on the records of the Company.

Prior to the Closing, SPAC shall appoint an exchange agent acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), as its agent, for the purpose of recording the (a) exchange of the Company Securities for SPAC Securities and (b) issuance of the Exchange Shares. The Exchange Agent shall take or cause to be taken such actions as are necessary to update SPAC’s register of stockholders to reflect (i) the exchange of the Company Securities for SPAC Securities and (ii) the issuance of the Exchange Shares, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and, to the extent applicable, the Certificate of Merger, the Delaware General Corporation Law and customary Exchange Agent procedures and the rules and regulations of the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), in each case in a form approved by the Company. Upon the completion of the Exchange Agent’s term of service, the parties will make appropriate arrangements to address the issuance of any Sponsor Performance Bonus Shares following such term of service.

1.12 Exchange of Shares.

(a) Domestication. After the date of this Agreement but prior to the Merger Effective Time, SPAC shall cause the Domestication to occur in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman Companies Act. In connection with the Domestication, (i) each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication shall become one share of class A common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of SPAC (the “SPAC Class A Common Stock”), (ii) each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication shall become one share of class B common stock, par value $.0001 per share, of SPAC (the “SPAC Class B Common Stock”), (iii) each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding immediately prior to the Domestication shall, from and after the Domestication, represent the right to purchase one share of SPAC Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable warrant agreement, and (iv) the SPAC Charter shall be amended and restated in substantially the form of the A&R SPAC Charter (as defined below).

(b) Preferred Stock Cash and Dividend Payment. Subject to the other provisions of this Article I, within two Business Days after the Closing Date, the Company shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, in trust with or otherwise make available to the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of shares of Company Preferred Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Agreement, through the Exchange Agent, cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Preferred Stock Cash Payment and the Preferred Stock Dividend Payment.

(c) Exchange Procedures. At the Merger Effective Time, SPAC shall issue the Merger Consideration Shares. As soon as practicable after the Merger Effective Time (and in no event later than five Business Days after the Merger Effective Time), SPAC shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Shares and shares of Company Preferred Stock that were converted pursuant to Section 1.6(b) into the right to receive the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration, respectively, a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Shares in exchange for the Per Share Common Merger Consideration and the shares of Company Preferred Stock into the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration in a form acceptable to the Company (a “Letterof Transmittal”). Promptly following receipt of a former Company Shareholder’s Letter of Transmittal, together with any certificates representing such Company Shares or shares of Company Preferred Stock (or affidavit of loss thereof), if applicable, or of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), the holder of a Company Share or share of Company Preferred Stock that was converted pursuant to Section 1.6(b) into the right to receive the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration shall be entitled to receive, subject to any required withholding Taxes, the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration in book-entry form, without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), and, with respect to each share of Company Preferred Stock, a check in the amount of (i) $5.00, without interest, representing its pro rata share of the Preferred Stock Cash Payment plus (ii) any dividends due on such share of Company Preferred Stock as of the Merger Effective Time pursuant to the applicable Certificate of Designations for such share of Company Preferred Stock, for each Company Share or share of Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, surrendered. The Merger Consideration Shares shall be settled through DTC and issued in uncertificated book-entry form through the customary procedures of DTC, unless a physical SPAC Share is required by applicable Law, in which case SPAC shall cause the Exchange Agent to promptly send certificates representing such SPAC Share to such holder. If payment of the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Company Share or share of Company Preferred Stock, respectively, in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Person requesting such exchange present proper evidence of transfer or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Company Share or share of Company Preferred Stock, respectively, surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of SPAC that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(d) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Company Shares and Shares of Company Preferred Stock. All Merger Consideration Shares shall be deemed issued and outstanding as of the Merger Effective Time. Subject to the effect of escheat, Tax or other applicable Laws, the holder of whole SPAC Shares issued in exchange for Company Shares or shares of Company Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(b) will be promptly paid, without interest (subject to any applicable withholding Tax), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Merger Effective Time and theretofore paid with respect to such whole SPAC Share.

(e) Adjustments to Per Share Common Merger Consideration and Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration. The Per Share Common Merger Consideration and the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to SPAC Shares, Company Shares or Company Preferred Stock occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Merger Effective Time.

(f) Termination of Exchange Agent; Unclaimed Merger Consideration. Promptly following the date that is one year after the Merger Effective Time, SPAC shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to SPAC all documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, any portion of the Per Share Common Merger Consideration, the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed shall be returned to SPAC, and any Person that was a holder of Company Shares or shares of Company Preferred Stock as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time that has not exchanged such Company Shares for the right to receive the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration, respectively, prior to the date that is one year after the Merger Effective Time may transfer such Company Shares or shares of Company Preferred Stock to SPAC and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and SPAC shall promptly deliver, such applicable portion of the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration without any interest thereupon. None of SPAC, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company nor the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any of the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to and in accordance with any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws. If any such SPAC Shares or any portion of the Preferred Stock Cash Payment or Preferred Stock Dividend Payment shall not have not been issued or paid in accordance with this Agreement immediately prior to the date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article I would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such amounts shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of SPAC, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

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

1.14 Tax Consequences. To the extent permitted under applicable Law, (a) the Parties intend that the Merger qualify as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and (b) this Agreement is intended to constitute and hereby is adopted as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) for purposes of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (the “Intended Tax Treatment”).

1.15 Withholding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, SPAC, the Company and the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement such Taxes as are required to be deducted and withheld from such amounts under the Code or any other applicable Law; provided, however, that the relevant payor will reasonably cooperate with the relevant payee prior to the making of such deductions and withholding payments to determine whether any such deductions or withholding payments (other than with respect to compensatory payments, if any) are required under applicable Law and in obtaining any available exemption or reduction of, or otherwise minimizing to the extent permitted by applicable Law, such deduction and withholding.

1.16 Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Company Shares and shares of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Sections 607.1301-1340 of the Florida Business Corporation Act (such shares of Company Shares or shares of Company Preferred Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the Florida Business Corporation Act with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the applicable amount of the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.6, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Sections 607.1301-1340 of the Florida Business Corporation Act; provided, however, that if, after the Merger Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Sections 607.1301-1340 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Sections 607.1301-1340 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, such Company Shares or shares of Company Preferred Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the Per Share Common Merger Consideration or the Per Share Preferred Merger Consideration, respectively, in accordance with Section 1.6 without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. The Company shall provide SPAC prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Company Shares and shares of Company Preferred Stock pursuant to Sections 607.1301-1340 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Merger Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of SPAC (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, delayed or denied), the Company shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands.

1.17 Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a SPAC Share will be issued, in any form, by virtue of this Agreement, the Merger, or the other Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a SPAC Share (after aggregating all fractional SPAC Shares that would otherwise be received by such Person) shall instead have the number SPAC Shares issued to such Person rounded up to the nearest whole SPAC Share.

(b) The Company shall solicit the Company Shareholder Approvals via an irrevocable written consent of the Company Shareholders (the “CompanyShareholder Written Consent”) in accordance with applicable Law and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to SPAC. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that it obtains the Company Shareholder Approvals in accordance with applicable Law (including the Florida Business Corporation Act) and the Organizational Documents of the Company. As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date that the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC and in any event within 5 Business Days after the date that the Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall obtain and deliver to SPAC a true, complete and correct copy of the Company Shareholder Written Consent duly executed and delivered to the Company by Company Shareholders collectively holding at least that number Company Shares necessary to effect the Company Shareholder Approvals.

(d) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the execution and delivery of the Company Shareholder Written Consent, the Company shall prepare and distribute to the Company Shareholders as of the date of the Company Shareholder Written Consent that did not execute and deliver the Company Shareholder Written Consent a notice of action by written consent and appraisal rights as required by Section 607.0704 of the Florida Business Corporation Act, as well as any additional information required by applicable Law or the Organizational Documents of the Company (the “Company Shareholder Notice”).

The Party responsible for filing any necessary Tax Returns with respect to Transfer Taxes under applicable Law shall cause such Tax Returns to be filed, and if required by applicable Law, the other Parties shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns.

6.15 The Registration Statement; SPAC Shareholder Meeting.

(a) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof (and in any event within 40 days), SPAC and the Company shall jointly prepare, and SPAC shall file with the SEC, a registration statement on Form S-4 (as amended or supplemented from time to time, and including the Proxy Statement (as defined below) contained therein, the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the registration, under the Securities Act, of the offer and sale of the SPAC Shares to be issued in connection with the Merger, which Registration Statement will also contain a proxy statement of SPAC (as amended or supplemented, including any prospectus contained therein, the “ProxyStatement”) for the purpose of soliciting proxies or votes from the SPAC Shareholders for the matters to be acted upon at the SPAC Shareholder Meeting (as defined below) and providing the SPAC Shareholders an opportunity in accordance with the SPAC Charter and the IPO Prospectus to exercise their Redemption Rights. The Proxy Statement shall include proxy materials for the purpose of soliciting proxies from the SPAC Shareholders to vote, at a meeting of SPAC Shareholders to be called and held for such purpose (including any adjournment or postponement thereof, the “SPAC Shareholder Meeting”), in favor of resolutions approving (i) the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the Merger, the Domestication and the other Transactions by SPAC Shareholders in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents, the Cayman Companies Act (or the Delaware General Corporation Law if the relevant resolution is to become effective subsequent to the Domestication), and the rules and regulations of the SEC and any applicable Exchange (including any items required by Laws to effect the Merger, the Domestication and any other proposals as are required to implement the foregoing), (ii) the adoption and approval of any other proposals as the SEC may indicate are necessary in its comments to the Registration Statement or correspondence related thereto, (iii) such other matters as the Company and SPAC shall hereafter mutually determine to be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the Transactions (the approvals described in foregoing clauses (i) to (iii), collectively, the “Shareholder Approval Matters”), and (iv) the adjournment of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting, if necessary or desirable in the reasonable determination of SPAC in consultation with the Company. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, SPAC’s requirement to call and hold the SPAC Shareholder Meeting shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to SPAC of any Acquisition Proposal or the SPAC Board making a SPAC Change in Recommendation. Subject to Section 6.9, unless SPAC shall have made a SPAC Change in Recommendation, the SPAC Board shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the Required SPAC Shareholder Approval at the SPAC Shareholder Meeting.

(b) SPAC shall (i) include the SPAC Recommendation in the Proxy Statement, unless the SPAC Board has made a SPAC Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.9, (ii) cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to SPAC Shareholders in accordance with SPAC’s Organizational Documents as promptly as practicable (and in any event within three Business Days) following the date upon which the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, and (iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies or votes in favor of the approval of the Shareholder Approval Matters. If, on the date for which the SPAC Shareholder Meeting is scheduled, SPAC has not received proxies and votes representing a sufficient number of SPAC Shares to obtain the Required SPAC Shareholder Approval, SPAC may, in consultation with the Company and in accordance with the SPAC Charter, make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of the SPAC Shareholder Meeting. In connection with the Registration Statement, SPAC and the Company will file with the SEC financial and other information about the Transactions in accordance with applicable Law, SPAC’s Organizational Documents, the Cayman Companies Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC and any applicable Exchange.

(c) SPAC and the Company shall take any and all reasonable and necessary actions required to satisfy the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws in connection with the Registration Statement, the SPAC Shareholder Meeting and the Redemption Rights. Each of SPAC and the Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, make their respective directors, officers and employees, upon reasonable advance notice, available to the Company, SPAC and their respective Representatives in connection with the drafting of the public filings with respect to the Transactions, including the Registration Statement, and responding in a timely manner to comments from the SEC. Each Party shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Registration Statement (and other related materials) if and to the extent that such information has become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Laws. SPAC and the Company shall amend or supplement the Registration Statement and SPAC shall file the Registration Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to SPAC Shareholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and SPAC’s Organizational Documents. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to, the Registration Statement will be made by SPAC or the Company without the approval of the other (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Each of SPAC and the Company shall, as promptly as practicable after receipt thereof, supply each other with copies of all material written correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or its staff, on the other hand, or, if not in writing, a written summary of such material communication, with respect to the Registration Statement or the Transactions. No response to any comments from the SEC or its staff relating to the Registration Statement or the Transactions will be made by the Company or SPAC without the prior consent of the other (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and without providing such other Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

ArticleX****WAIVERS

10.1 Waiver of Claims Against Trust. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that SPAC has established the Trust Account containing the proceeds of the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of the SPAC Shareholders and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus, SPAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the manner described in the IPO Prospectus: (a) to the SPAC Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their SPAC Shares in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination or in connection with an amendment to SPAC’s Organizational Documents to the Business Combination Deadline; (b) to the SPAC Shareholders if SPAC fails to consummate a Business Combination by the Business Combination Deadline, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any Taxes; and (d) to SPAC after or concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, acknowledges and agrees that it does not and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom to SPAC’s public shareholders, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom to SPAC’s public shareholders), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between SPAC or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the Company or any Company Affiliate, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom to SPAC’s public shareholders) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of this Agreement or any other agreement with SPAC). The Company agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by SPAC to induce SPAC to enter in this Agreement, and the Company further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against it and each of its Affiliates under applicable Law. To the extent that the Company or any of its Affiliates commences any action or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to SPAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against SPAC or its Representatives, the Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its Affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account or any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds) and that such claim shall not permit it or any of its Affiliates (or any Person claiming on behalf or in lieu of any of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom to SPAC’s public shareholders) or any amounts contained therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust Account Released Claims and related waivers will not limit or prohibit the Company from (i) pursuing a claim against SPAC, Merger Sub or any other person for (A) specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions (including a claim for SPAC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemption pursuant to the Redemption Rights)) or (B) for damages (subject to the provisions of this Agreement) for breach of this Agreement against SPAC (or any successor entity) or Merger Sub in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason and SPAC consummates a Business Combination with another Person or (ii) being entitled to the use of any remaining amounts in the Trust Account following the transactions contemplated by Section 6.20(b).

11.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

The Parties hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any Party and (b) agree not to commence any Action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than Actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each Party further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the Parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

11.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.5.

11.6 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the rights of each Party to consummate the Transactions are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any Party, money damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching Parties may not have adequate remedy at law, and agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by an applicable Party in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each Party shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable remedy to prevent or remedy any breach of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in each case, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which such Party may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by a Party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

(n) Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

This SHAREHOLDER LOCK-UP AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of [ ], 2025, is made by and among (i) FACT II Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“SPAC”), (ii) Precision Aerospace & Defense Group, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and (iii) the undersigned holders of equity interests of the Company (the “Supporting Company Shareholders”) set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto. SPAC, the Company and the Supporting Company Shareholders shall be referred to herein from time to time collectively as the “parties.” Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein, including capitalized terms used in any provision incorporated herein pursuant to Section 3(d) hereof, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Supporting Company Shareholders are holders of the equity interests of the Company set forth on Exhibit A, attached hereto (collectively, the “Company Shares”).

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Combination Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, (a) each share of common stock and preferred stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of SPAC (“SPAC Shares”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Combination Agreement;

WHEREAS, each Supporting Company Shareholder is, or will be at the Closing (as defined in the Combination Agreement), the record and beneficial owner of the number of Company Shares set forth opposite such Supporting Company Shareholder’s name in column (ii) of Exhibit A, attached hereto and, as a result of the Merger, each such Supporting Company Shareholder will become entitled to receive in respect of such Company Shares a number of SPAC Shares as determined in accordance with the Combination Agreement (such SPAC Shares, together with any other equity interests of SPAC that such Supporting Company Shareholder acquires record or beneficial ownership of after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date (as defined in the Combination Agreement) , collectively, the “Restricted Securities”); and

WHEREAS, as a condition to the Closing, the Parties are entering into this Agreement effective as of the Closing.

Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) Each Supporting Company Shareholder hereby agrees not to (1) Transfer any Restricted Securities from and after the Closing and until the date that is 180 days after the date of the Closing (the “Lock-Up Period”), and (2) from and after the execution of the Combination Agreement and until the end of the Lock-Up Period, directly or indirectly, engage in any short sales or other hedging or derivative transactions in respect of the Restricted Securities that require the disclosure of such transaction on either Form 3 or Form 4 pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by such Supporting Company Shareholder made in respect of a Permitted Transfer (as defined below); provided, further, that in any of case of a Permitted Transfer, it shall be a condition to such Transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to SPAC and the Company an agreement, in substantially the same form of this Agreement, stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Supporting Company Shareholder, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. As used herein, “Transfer” shall mean (i) the sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecation, pledge, loan, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or other disposal of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, in each case with respect to any security, including any Restricted Security, (ii) entry into any swap, hedging, or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, including any Restricted Security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement or disclosure of any action or intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transfer” shall mean a Transfer made: (A) in the case of a Supporting Company Shareholder being an individual, by gift to a member of the individual’s immediate family, or to a trust or other estate planning vehicle, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family or an affiliate of such person; (B) by gift to a charitable organization; (C) in the case of a Supporting Company Shareholder being an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of such Supporting Company Shareholder; (D) in the case of a Supporting Company Shareholder being an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (E) in the case of a Supporting Company Shareholder being an entity, by pro rata distributions from such Supporting Company Shareholder to its members, partners, or shareholders pursuant to the Supporting Company Shareholder’s organizational documents; (F) by virtue of applicable Law or a Supporting Company Shareholder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of such Supporting Company Shareholder; (G) in the case of a Supporting Company Shareholder being an entity, to such Supporting Company Shareholder’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of such Supporting Company Shareholder’s officers or directors, any members, partners or other equity holders of such Supporting Company Shareholder or their affiliates, any affiliates of such Supporting Company Shareholder, or any employees of such affiliates; or (H) in the case of a Supporting Company Shareholder being a trust, to any grantors or beneficiaries of the trust.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including without limitation, the restrictions set forth in this Section 1, each Supporting Company Shareholder shall be permitted to Transfer the number of Restricted Securities received by such Supporting Company Shareholder in exchange for the Company Shares set forth opposite each such Supporting Company Shareholder’s name in column (iii) of Exhibit A, attached hereto (the “Carved-Out Shares”) in one or more transactions that constitute non-market trades, subject to applicable securities Laws; and

(c) If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and SPAC shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, SPAC may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of the Supporting Company Shareholders (and Permitted Transferees thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(d) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SET FORTH IN A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF [ ], 2025, BY AND AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE “ISSUER”), THE ISSUER’S SECURITY HOLDER NAMED THEREIN AND CERTAIN OTHER PARTIES NAMED THEREIN, AS AMENDED. A COPY OF SUCH LOCK-UP AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE ISSUER TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST.”

(e) For the avoidance of any doubt, each Supporting Company Shareholder shall retain all of its rights as a shareholder of SPAC during the Lock-Up Period, including the right to vote, and to receive any dividends and distributions in respect of, any Restricted Securities.

(f) At any time during the Lock-Up Period, the Company or SPAC may, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, waive compliance by the Supporting Company Shareholders with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of the Company or SPAC set forth herein, as applicable, provided that any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of the Company or SPAC, as applicable.

(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Supporting Company Shareholder does not, and the performance by such Supporting Company Shareholder of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) violate any provision of, or result in the breach of, any Law to which such Supporting Company Shareholder is subject or by which any property or asset of such Supporting Company Shareholder is bound, (ii) if such Supporting Company Shareholder is an entity, conflict with or result in a violation of the governing documents of such Supporting Company Shareholder, or (iii) violate any provision of or result in breach, default or acceleration under any Contract binding upon such Supporting Company Shareholder or, if such Supporting Company Shareholder is an entity, its equity securities, or require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person, except in the case of clause (i) or (iii) directly above, as would not reasonably be expected to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Supporting Company Shareholder of its obligations under this Agreement.

Any such process or summons to be served upon a party may be served by transmitting a copy thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to such party at the address set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. Such mailing shall be deemed personal service and shall be legal and binding upon the party being served in any action, proceeding or claim.

Forward - looking Statements This presentation contains certain forward - looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the Proposed Business Combination, including statements regarding the benefits of the transaction, the anticipated timing of the transaction, the services offered by the Company and the markets in which it operates, and the Company’s projected future results. These forward - looking statements generally are ide ntified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “p lan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward - looking statements involve predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties . F or example, PAD is using forward - looking statements in this presentation when it discusses its expectations regarding the timing of acquisitions and the performance of PAD’s curren t o perating entities and acquisition targets, if such acquisitions are successfully completed. Many factors could cause actual f utu re events to differ materially from the forward - looking statements in this presentation, including but not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances th at could give rise to the termination of the Proposed Business Combination or any of PAD’s ongoing acquisitions and potential ac quisition targets; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against FACT, the Company, the combined company or others following the announcement of th e P roposed Business Combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Proposed B usi ness Combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the shareholders of FACT, to obtain financing to complete the Proposed Business Combination or to satisfy other c ond itions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Proposed Business Combination that may be required or appropr iat e as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the Proposed Business Combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange lis ting standards following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (6) the risk that the Proposed Business Combi nat ion disrupts current plans and operations of FACT or the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the Proposed Business Combination; (7) the ability to re cognize the anticipated benefits of the Proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competit ion , the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key empl oye es; (8) costs related to the Proposed Business Combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtai nin g, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain regulatory approvals required to complete the Proposed Business Combination; (10) the possibility that FA CT, the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) t he impact of any health epidemics, pandemics or other contagious outbreaks or geopolitical events, such as war, on the Company’s business and/or the ability of the parties t o c omplete the Proposed Business Combination; (12) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability and underlying assumpti ons with respect to stockholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments; (13) timing of acquisitions, if any, and the performance of the Company’s current opera tin g entities and acquisition targets, if such acquisitions are successfully completed; and (14) other risks and uncertainties s et forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward - Looking Statements and Risk Factor Summary” in FACT’s final prospectus relating to its initial public off ering dated November 26, 2024. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing f act ors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section of FACT’s Form S - 1, Annual Report on Form 10 - K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10 - Q, and other documents f iled by FACT from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and any registration statement on Fo rm S - 4 and proxy statement/prospectus FACT files with the SEC in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. These filings identify and address other import ant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward - loo king statements. Forward - looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward - looking statements, and the Compan y and FACT assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward - looking statements, whether as a result of n ew information, future events, or otherwise. Neither the Company nor FACT gives any assurance that either the Company or FACT will achieve its expectations.

This presentation also contains refer enc es to potential acquisitions by PAD of other companies in the future. While it is the present intention of PAD to acquire add iti onal companies, there can be no guarantee that such acquisitions will materialize or PAD will be successful in acquiring all or any such businesses in the future or, if acquired , t hat PAD will be successful in integrating such acquired businesses within PAD’s relevant business segments.

CONFIDENTIAL 3 Disclaimer (cont.)

A proxy statement/prospectus would be sent to all FACT shareholders. FACT would also file other documents regarding the Propose d B usiness Combination with the SEC. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors, shareholders and other interest ed persons of FACT 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 Proposed Business Combination carefully and in their entirety as they become available because they will c on tain important information about the Proposed Business Combination. Investors and security holders will be able to obtain free copies of the registration statement, the proxy state men t/prospectus and all other relevant documents filed or that will be filed with the SEC by FACT through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov. The documents filed by FACT and the Company with the SEC also may be obtained free of charge, once available, on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Participants in Solicitation FACT, the Company and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed under SEC rules to be participants in t he solicitation of proxies from FACT’s stockholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination. A list of the names of su ch directors and executive officers, and information regarding their interests in the Proposed Business Combination and their ownership of FACT’s securities are, or will be, cont ain ed in FACT’s filings with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of the persons who may, under SEC rules, be de emed participants in the solicitation of proxies of FACT’s shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, including the names and interests of the Company’s directo rs and executive officers, will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus on Form S - 4 for the Proposed Business Combination, w hich is expected to be filed by FACT and the Company with the SEC. You may obtain free copies of these documents as described in the preceding paragraph. Industry and Market Data This presentation has been prepared by the Company and FACT and includes market data and other statistical information from s our ces believed by the Company and FACT to be reliable, including independent industry publications, governmental publications o r o ther published independent sources. Some data is also based on the good faith estimates of the Company or FACT, which in each case are derived from its review of internal sou rces as well as the independent sources described above. Although the Company and FACT believe these sources are reliable, th e C ompany and FACT have not independently verified the information and cannot guarantee its accuracy and completeness. Financial Information; Non - GAAP Financial Measures The historical and pro forma historical financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited, based on dra ft statutory accounts, does not conform to Regulation S - X, and is subject to PCAOB audit. Accordingly, such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in or may be presented differently in the final registration statement to be filed with the SEC and the definitive proxy statement/prospec tus contained therein. Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA , EBITDA Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, has not been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). EBITDA is defined as net income befo re interest expense, depreciation, amortization, and corporate taxes. EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA (as defined above) divi ded by revenue. For a detailed reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of non - GAAP financial measures in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see Slide 27 of this presentation. The Company believes these non - GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company’s financial condition and re sul ts of operations. The Company’s management uses these non - GAAP measures for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purpos es. The Company and FACT believe that the use of these non - GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in comparing the Company’s financial c ondition and results of operations with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - GAAP financial measures to in vestors. However, other companies may calculate their non - GAAP measures differently, and therefore the non - GAAP measures in this presentation not be directly comparable to simi larly titled measures of other companies. Management does not consider these non - GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non - GAAP financial measures is that they exclude significant expenses and income th at are required by GAAP to be recorded in the Company’s financial statements. In addition, they are subject to inherent limit ati ons as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expenses and income are excluded and included in determining these non - GAAP financial measures. No Offer or Solicitation This presentation does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange, or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange, any s ecu rities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, sale or exchange would be unlawful pr ior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Use of Projections Any financial information in this presentation (including specifically the projections) that are forward - looking statements are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Co mpany’s and FACT’s control. While such information and projections are necessarily speculative, the Company and FACT believe that the preparation of prospective financial informati on involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The a ssu mptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertaint ies that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. All subsequent written and oral f orward - looking statements concerning the Company and FACT, the Proposed Business Combination, or other matters and attributable to the Company and FACT or any person acting on their be hal f are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Trademarks This presentation contains trademarks, service marks, trade names and copyrights of the Company, FACT and other companies, wh ich are the property of their respective owners.
