(“PubCo”), Concrete Partners Holding, LLC (“Suncrete”) and the other parties signatory thereto, entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with respect to a business combination between Haymaker, PubCo and Suncrete (the “Business Combination”).
Non-Redemption Agreement
On April 1, 2026, Haymaker entered into a Non-Redemption Agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with an existing shareholder of Haymaker, pursuant to which, among other things, the investor agreed to reverse its election to redeem 250,000 Class A ordinary shares of Haymaker, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Holder’s Shares”), initially included as part of the units sold in Haymaker’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”), to waive their redemption rights, vote in favor of the Business Combination at the Shareholder Meeting (as defined below), and hold the Holder’s Shares through the closing date of the Business Combination. In consideration for the Non-Redemption Agreement, Haymaker has agreed to pay to the investor an amount in cash equal to the product of (a) the excess of (i) the redemption price per Public Share paid by Haymaker to redeeming shareholders in satisfaction of their redemption rights over (ii) $10.75, multiplied by (b) the number of Holder’s Shares. The foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form thereof, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Forward Purchase Agreement
On April 6, 2026, Haymaker and Pubco entered into a forward purchase agreement (the “Forward Purchase Agreement”) with each of Harraden Circle Investors, LP (“HCI”), Harraden Circle Special Opportunities, LP (“HCSO”), Harraden Circle Strategic Investments, LP (“HCSI”) and Harraden Circle Concentrated, LP (“HCC”) (with HCI, HCSO, HCSI, HCC, collectively as “Seller”) for a prepaid share forward transaction. Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller has agreed to purchase up to 5,000,000 Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions therein. The Forward Purchase Agreement provides that the Seller will be prepaid an aggregate cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the (i) number of Shares, multiplied by (ii) the per-share redemption price at the closing of the Business Combination (the “Initial Price”). The Seller will be paid the Prepayment Amount directly from Haymaker’s trust account on the earlier of (a) one (1) business day after the closing of the Business Combination and (b) the date any assets from the trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination. From time to time and on any business day on which Nasdaq and commercial banks in the City of New York are open for business (an “Exchange Business Day”), following the closing of the Business Combination (any such date, an “OET Date”), and subject to the terms and conditions therein, the Seller shall terminate the Transaction in whole or in part with respect to any number of Shares that are sold by Seller on such OET Date by giving notice of such termination and the specified number of Shares (such quantity, the “Terminated Shares”). As of each OET Date, Pubco will be entitled to from Seller, and Seller shall pay to Pubco, an amount equal to (a) the Initial Price multiplied by (b) the Terminated Shares. The Forward Purchase Agreement maturity date will be the earlier of (a) 6 months after the closing of the Business Combination, or (b) ten Exchange Business Days following the date upon which Pubco, in its sole discretion, delivers written notice to Seller that Pubco is accelerating the maturity date; provided that such notice will not be effective until three months after the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, Pubco has the right, in its sole discretion, to extend the maturity up to two times by three months each time by delivering written notice to Seller at least ten Exchange Business Days in advance of the then-scheduled maturity date. At maturity, in exchange for the return of the number of remaining Shares under the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Seller shall retain an amount equal to (i) the number of Shares multiplied by (ii) the Initial Price. The Seller also agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to the Shares during the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement. The foregoing description of the Forward Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Forward Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects, financial results or strategies regarding Haymaker, Suncrete, PubCo, the Business Combination and statements regarding the anticipated benefits and timing of the completion of the proposed Business Combination and PIPE investment, the SPAC public warrant exchange, plans and use of proceeds, future financial condition and performance and expected financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Business Combination, the PIPE investment and the level of redemptions of Haymaker’s public shareholders, and PubCo’s, Suncrete’s and Haymaker’s expectations, intentions, strategies, assumptions or beliefs about future events, results of operations or performance that do not solely relate to historical or current facts. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “potential,” “plan,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as of the time they are made and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, but are not limited to:
| · | the risk that the Business Combination and the PIPE investment may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; |
| · | the failure by the parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the PIPE investment, the SPAC public warrant exchange and the Business Combination, including, without limitation, the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); |
| · | the risk that any of the investors do not satisfy their obligations under the non-redemption agreements; |
| · | the fact that Haymaker will retain sole discretion to effect the warrant amendment, including as a result of the level of redeeming stockholders; |
| · | the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; |
| · | the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against PubCo, Suncrete, Haymaker or others following announcement of the Business Combination; |
| · | the level of redemptions of Haymaker’s public shareholders which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or maintain the quotation, listing, or trading of the Ordinary Shares or the Class A Common Stock of PubCo; |
| · | the failure of PubCo to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any stock exchange on which PubCo’s Class A Common Stock will be listed after closing of the Business Combination; |
| · | costs related to the Business Combination and as a result of PubCo becoming a public company; |
| · | changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; |
| · | risks relating to Suncrete’s anticipated operations and business, including the success of any future acquisitions; |
| · | the risk that issuances of equity or debt securities following the closing of the Business Combination, including issuances of equity securities in connection with Suncrete’s acquisition strategy, may adversely affect the value of Suncrete’s common stock and dilute its stockholders; |
| · | the risk that after consummation of the Business Combination, PubCo experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; |
| · | challenges in implementing the business plan, due to lack of an operating history, operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; and |
| · | those risk factors discussed in documents filed, or to be filed, with the SEC by PubCo, Haymaker or Suncrete. |
The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the “Risk Factors” section Haymaker’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Registration Statement and proxy statement/prospectus filed by PubCo and Suncrete, and other documents filed or to be filed by PubCo, Haymaker and Suncrete from time to time with the SEC. These filings do or will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that none of PubCo, Suncrete or Haymaker presently know or currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking 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 none of the parties or any of their representatives assumes any obligation or intends to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

| Re: | Prepaid Share Forward (the “Transaction”) |
The purpose of this agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction (the “Transaction”) entered into between Seller and the Counterparty on the Trade Date specified below. The term “Counterparty” refers to HYAC until the Business Combination (as defined below), and to Suncrete, Inc., a Delaware

Certain terms of the Transaction shall be as set forth in this Confirmation, with additional terms as set forth in a Pricing Date Notice (the “Pricing Date Notice”) in the form of Schedule A hereto. This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, constitutes a “Confirmation,” and the Transaction constitutes a separate “Transaction” as referred to in the ISDA Form (as defined below).
This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, evidences a complete binding agreement between Seller, Target and Counterparty as to the subject matter and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications with respect thereto.
The 2006 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions”, and with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and
Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. If there is any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation governs. If, in relation to the Transaction, there is any inconsistency between the ISDA Form, this Confirmation (including the Pricing Date Notice), the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) this Confirmation (including the Pricing Date Notice); (ii) the Equity Definitions; (iii) the Swap Definitions; and (iv) the ISDA Form.
This Confirmation, together with the Pricing Date Notice, shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement (the “ISDA Form”) as if Seller, Target and Counterparty had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except as set forth herein under “Schedule Provisions”) on the Trade Date.

| For the avoidance of doubt, no monetary amount other than the Redemption Price per Share (less indemnity or default payment owed, if any, pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment) shall be determined or owed by Counterparty in respect of the value of the Transaction (i.e., Cancellation Amount or similar concept), and the Transaction shall be settled solely through delivery of Shares by Seller to Counterparty and the retention by the Seller of the Redemption Price per Share (less any amounts owed, if any, pursuant to a final non-appealable judgment). | ||
| Nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as absolving Counterparty of paying amounts owed hereunder; provided that any such amounts (including damages, indemnity payments, or interest) shall not be determined by reference to the value of the Transaction or the Shares and shall not serve as a substitute for settlement of the Transaction. Nothing in this Confirmation shall be interpreted as absolving Seller of delivering Shares as required under this Transaction. |
Additional Provisions:
| Calculation Agent: | Seller, unless (i) an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Additional Termination Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to Seller, or (ii) if Seller fails to perform its obligations as Calculation Agent, in which case an unaffiliated leading dealer in the relevant market selected by Counterparty in its sole discretion will be the Calculation Agent. | |
| In the event that a party (the “Disputing Party”) does not agree with any determination made (or the failure to make any determination) by the Calculation Agent, the Disputing Party shall have the right to require that the Calculation Agent have such determination reviewed by a disinterested third party that is a dealer in derivatives of the type that is the subject of the dispute and that is not an Affiliate of either party (a “Third Party Dealer”). Such Third Party Dealer shall be jointly selected by the parties within one (1) Business Day after the Disputing Party’s exercise of its rights hereunder (once selected, such Third Party Dealer shall be the “Substitute Calculation Agent”). If the parties are unable to agree on a Substitute Calculation Agent within the prescribed time, each of the parties shall elect a Third Party Dealer and such two dealers shall agree on a Third Party Dealer by the end of the subsequent Business Day. Such Third Party Dealer shall be deemed to be the Substitute Calculation Agent. Any exercise by the Disputing Party of its rights hereunder must be in writing and shall be delivered to the Calculation Agent not later than the third Business Day following the Business Day on which the Calculation Agent notifies the Disputing Party of any determination made (or of the failure to make any determination). Any determination by the Substitute Calculation Agent shall be binding in the absence of manifest error and shall be made as soon as possible but no later than the second Business Day following the Substitute Calculation Agent’s appointment. The costs of such Substitute Calculation Agent shall be borne by (a) the Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent substantially agrees with the Calculation Agent or (b) the non- Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent does not substantially agree with the Calculation Agent. If, after following the procedures and within the specified time frames set forth above, a binding determination is not achieved, the original determination of the Calculation Agent shall apply. | ||

Other Provisions.
| (a) | Rule 10b5-1. |
| (i) | Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty has not entered into or altered, and agrees that Counterparty will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. Counterparty acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that the Transaction comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act (“Rule 10b5-1”) and the Transaction shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c). |
| (ii) | Counterparty agrees that it will not seek to control or influence Seller’s decision to make any “purchases or sales” (within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i)(B)(3)) under the Transaction, including, without limitation, Seller’s decision to enter into any hedging transactions. Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation and the Transaction under Rule 10b5-1. |
| (iii) | Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-1(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule 10b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares. |
| (b) | [Reserved.] |
| (c) | Transfer or Assignment. The rights and duties under this Confirmation may not be transferred or assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, subject to the immediately following sentence. If at any time following the closing of the Business Combination at which (A) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 9.9999%, or (B) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clause (A) or (B), an “Excess Ownership Position”), |
Seller is unable to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Seller and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Seller such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then Seller may designate any Exchange Business Day as an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction (the “Terminated Portion”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists. In the event that Seller so designates an Early Termination Date with respect to a portion of the Transaction, a portion of the Shares with respect to the Transaction shall be delivered to Counterparty as if the Early Termination Date was the Valuation Date in respect of a Transaction having terms identical to the Transaction and a Number of Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the
Terminated Portion. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, as determined by Seller, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Seller and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Seller under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder and all persons who may form a “group” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Exchange Act) with Seller directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder) (the “Seller Group” ) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding.
The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Seller and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Seller and any group (however designated) of which Seller is a member (Seller or any such person or group, a “Seller Person”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion.
The “Applicable Share Limit” means a number of Shares equal to (A) the minimum number of Shares that could give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements under Section 16 of the Exchange Act including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Seller Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Seller Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion, minus
(B) 0.0001% of the number of Shares outstanding.
| (d) | Indemnification. Each of Counterparty and Seller (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party, its affiliates and its assignees and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such person being an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, any breach of any covenant or representation made by the Indemnifying Party in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form, regulatory filings made by the Indemnifying Party related to the Transaction (other than as relates to any information provided by or on behalf of the other party or its affiliates); provided that neither party will be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the other party’s material breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from the other party’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith in performing the services that are subject of the Transaction. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then the applicable Indemnifying Party shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition (and in addition to any other Reimbursement of Legal Fees and other Expenses contemplated by this Confirmation), the applicable Indemnifying Party will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable, out-of-pocket, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of the applicable Indemnifying Party.

RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the Business Combination Agreement (“Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of October 9, 2025, with Concrete Partners Holding, LLC (the “Target”) and certain other persons, which provides, among other things, for the business combination of the Company and the Target (collectively, the “Business Combination”);
WHEREAS, the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Articles”), provides that a shareholder of the Company may redeem its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, initially sold as part of the units in the Company’s initial public offering (whether they were purchased in such initial public offering or thereafter in the open market) (the “Public Shares”) in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, on the terms set forth in the Articles (“Redemption Rights”);
WHEREAS, Holder exercised its Redemption Rights with respect to 250,000 Public Shares held by it and/or its controlled affiliates as of the date hereof (the “Holder’s Shares”) and wishes to reverse such exercise (the “Redemption Reversal”), and to agree not to further exercise its Redemption Rights with respect to the Holder’s Shares, to hold the Holder’s Shares through the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing Date”), and to agree to vote the Holder’s Shares in favor of the Business Combination and related matters set forth herein, all in consideration for the Payment (as defined below).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual acknowledgments, understandings, and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Holder hereby agree as follows:
1. Representations and Warranties of Holder. Holder represents and warrants that:
(a) Following the Redemption Reversal, Holder and/or certain of its controlled affiliates beneficially own the Holder’s Shares.
(b) If Holder is a natural person, he or she has all the requisite power and authority and has taken all action necessary in order to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform his or her obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. If Holder is not a natural person, (i) it is a legal entity duly organized, validly existing and, to the extent such concept is applicable, in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and (ii) has all requisite corporate or other power and authority and has taken all corporate or other action necessary in order to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Holder and, assuming due authorization and execution by each other party hereto, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of Holder enforceable against Holder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity.
(c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Holder does not, and the performance by Holder of its obligations hereunder will not, (i) conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of Holder (if Holder is not a natural person) or applicable law to which Holder or the Holder’s Shares is subject, or (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any contract binding upon Holder or any Holder’s Shares), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by Holder of its obligations under this Agreement.
(d) As of the date of this Agreement, (i) there is no action, claim, suit, audit, assessment, arbitration, mediation or inquiry, or any proceeding or investigation, by or before any governmental authority pending against Holder or, to the knowledge of Holder, threatened against Holder and (ii) Holder is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, judgment, injunction, decree, writ, stipulation, determination or award, in each case, entered by or with any governmental authority, in each case, that questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Holder’s Shares or the validity of this Agreement or would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially delay, impair or adversely affect the performance by Holder of its obligations under this Agreement.
2. Redemption Reversal and Waiver of Redemption Rights.
(a) Holder shall promptly take all such actions as may be necessary to effectuate the Redemption Reversal, including submitting or causing its broker to submit a reversal demand to, and all paperwork in connection therewith requested by, the Company’s transfer agent.
(b) Holder acknowledges that, following the Redemption Reversal, it has Redemption Rights with respect to Holder’s Shares pursuant to the Articles. Holder covenants and agrees, for the benefit of the Company, that neither it nor any of its controlled affiliates shall exercise any Redemption Rights under the Articles with respect to the Holder’s Shares following the Redemption Reversal.
(c) Holder and its controlled affiliates shall not directly or indirectly Transfer the Holder’s Shares at any time following the Redemption Reversal through the Closing Date. As used herein, “Transfer” shall mean the following: (i) sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) promulgated thereunder with respect to, any of the Holder’s Shares, (ii) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any of the Holder’s Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii).
(d) In furtherance of the covenants in paragraphs 2(b) and 2(c): (x) Holder hereby irrevocably waives, on behalf of itself and its controlled affiliates, the Redemption Rights, and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Company and its designees, with full power of substitution, as its (and its controlled affiliates’) true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in its name, place and stead, to revoke any redemption election made in contravention of paragraph 2(b) above with respect to any Holder’s Shares and to cause the Company’s transfer agent to fail to redeem such Holder’s Shares in connection with the Business Combination, (y) Holder shall deliver such documentation as is reasonably requested by the Company to evidence that none of the Holder’s Shares have been redeemed or Transferred, and (z) in the event of a breach of paragraph 2(a), 2(b), or 2(c) with respect to any Holder’s Shares (the “Transferred/Redeemed Shares”), Holder unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to, or to cause one or more of its affiliates to, subscribe for and purchase from the Company (or from its assignee(s) or designee(s)) prior to the Closing Date a number of Class A ordinary shares of the Company equal to the number of such Transferred/Redeemed Shares, for a per share purchase price equal to the amount to be received by public shareholders of the Company exercising their Redemption Rights in connection with the Business Combination.
(e) The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder and/or its controlled affiliates may own additional Public Shares in excess of the Holder’s Shares (the “Other Shares”) and that nothing herein shall restrict any rights of the Holder with respect to such Other Shares including, without limitation, the Redemption Rights or to otherwise exercise any right with respect to such Other Shares. Holder acknowledges that it will not receive any Payment with respect to any Other Shares.
3. Agreement to Vote. Holder covenants and agrees that its controlled affiliates shall:
(a) vote (or cause to be voted) or execute and deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be executed and delivered) at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders of the Company is sought, all of the Holder’s Shares (i) in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and each other proposal brought by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) in favor of any proposal brought by the Company to adjourn the shareholder meeting called in connection with the Business Combination, (iii) against any proposal in opposition to approval of the Business Combination or in competition with or inconsistent with the Business Combination or the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iv) against any proposal, action or agreement that would (1) impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify any provision of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (2) change in any manner the dividend policy or capitalization of, including the voting rights of any class of capital shares of, the Company; and
(b) appear at any meeting of the shareholders of the Company, however called, or at any adjournment thereof, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of the Holder’s Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum.
4. Covenants of the Holder. Holder hereby agrees to permit the Company to publish and disclose Holder’s identity, ownership of the Holder’s Shares and any Other Shares and the nature of Holder’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement and a copy of this Agreement, in (a) the proxy materials filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the Business Combination, (b) any Form 8-K filed by the Company with the SEC in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, or in connection with the Business Combination, and (c) any other documents or communications provided by the Company or the Company to any governmental authority or to the Holder, in each case, to the extent required by the federal securities laws or the SEC or any other securities authorities. Holder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, indirectly accomplish or attempt to accomplish that which it is not permitted to accomplish directly under this Agreement.
5. Closing Payment.
