Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Non-Redemption Agreement
On April 14, 2025, Technology & Telecommunication Acquisition Corporation (“TETE” or the “Company”) entered into a non-redemption agreement (the “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with certain institutional investors named therein (the “Investors”). Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreement, the Investors agreed that, in connection with TETE’s extraordinary meeting of shareholders to be held on April 16, 2025, the Investors would not exercise their right to redeem public shares of TETE (the “Redemption Rights”), or they would rescind or reverse previously submitted redemption requests prior to the meeting. Under the terms of the Non-Redemption Agreement, provided the proposals were approved by the shareholders, TETE and the Sponsor agreed that, promptly following the consummation of the proposed business combination, the Sponsor shall forfeit 53.2% of 560,061 ordinary shares of the Company (the “Forfeited Shares”) and TETE shall issue a number of shares of the post-closing company equal to such Forfeited Shares to the Investors (the “New Shares”), for no additional consideration. The New Shares shall be issued free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than (x) pursuant to the provisions of the letter agreement, dated January 14, 2022, by and between TETE and the Sponsor, (y) restrictions on transfer imposed by the securities laws, and (z) any other agreement relating to the shares held by the Sponsor entered into in connection with the proposed business combination (which shall be no less favorable or more restrictive than what is agreed to by the Sponsor). At the Investors’ election, in lieu of receiving the NRA New Shares, following the satisfaction of Redemption Rights in connection with the consummation of the proposed business combination, TETE shall cause its transfer agent to pay to the Investors directly from TETE’s trust account an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) 560,061, (ii) 53.2%, and (iii) the final per-share redemption price then available to Company stockholder (the “Share Consideration Payment”). In order to receive the Share Consideration Payment, the Investors shall not redeem 53.2% of the TETE publicly traded Class A shares held by the Investor at the time of the business combination redemption deadline.
The foregoing description of the Non-Redemption Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Non-Redemption Agreement, a form of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto entered into that certain Non-Redemption Agreement dated as of January 19, 2025 (the “Prior Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor agreed to not exercise its Redemption Rights (as defined in the Prior Agreement) in connection with TETE’s proposal to extend the date by which TETE must consummate an initial business combination from January 20, 2025 to April 20, 2025. In connection with the Prior Agreement, and as defined in such agreement, the Company and Sponsor agreed to provide the Investor either the Forfeited Shares (as defined in the Prior Agreement) or Share Consideration Payment (as defined in the Agreement) (the “Prior Consideration”) at the Investor’s election. By entering into this Agreement, the Company and Sponsor acknowledge such Prior Consideration remains due to Investor and any consideration provided to Investor herein shall be provided in addition to the Prior Consideration.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, the Company, and the Sponsor, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1. Terms of Non-Redemption; Forfeiture; and Issuance.
1.1. Non-Redemption of Investor Shares; Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, including the additional conditions set forth in Section 1.2, if (a) the Investor does not exercise (or exercised and validly rescinds) its Redemption Rights with respect to all of the Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting and (b) the Proposals are approved at the Meeting and implemented by the Company, then, at the Closing (as defined below) the Sponsor shall forfeit for no consideration the Forfeited Shares and the Company shall issue to the Investor the New Shares for no additional consideration. The New Shares shall be issued free and clear of any liens or other encumbrances, other than (x) pursuant to the provisions of the Letter Agreement, (y) restrictions on transfer imposed by the securities laws, and (z) any other agreement relating to the Founder Shares entered into in connection with the proposed business combination (which shall be no less favorable or more restrictive than what is agreed to by the Sponsor). The consummation of the forfeiture of the Forfeited Shares by the Sponsor and the issuance of the New Shares by the Company (the “Closing”) shall occur promptly following the consummation of the proposed business combination (and in any event no later than two (2) business days after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.2). Alternatively, at the Investor’s election, at the closing of the business combination, following the satisfaction of redemption demands validly submitted by TETE’s public shareholders, the Company shall cause its transfer agent pay to Investor directly from the Company’s trust account an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) Investors Shares, (ii) 53.2% and (iii) the final per-share redemption price then available to Company shareholder (the “Share Consideration Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, in order to receive the Share Consideration Payment, Investor shall not redeem 53.2% of the TETE publicly traded Class A shares held by the Investor at the time of the business combination redemption deadline. Should Investor demand and Company transfer the Share Consideration Payment, the Company shall be deemed to have fully satisfied its obligation to issue New Shares to the Investor. Ahead of the Closing, the Investor shall receive a copy of any materials or memos drafted in connection with the distribution of Trust Account assets prior to the execution of such documents.
1.2. Conditions. The forfeiture of the Forfeited Shares by the Sponsor and the issuance of the New Shares by the Company shall be subject to the conditions that, and shall not be effected unless and until, (i) the proposed business combination is consummated and (ii) the Investor (or its permitted transferees (as provided by the provisions of the Letter Agreement, the “Permitted Transferees”)) executes the Joinder (as defined in Section 1.6).
1.3. Adjustment to Share Amounts; Dividends.
1.3.1. If, at any time prior to the Closing, the number of outstanding Founder Shares is increased or decreased by a consolidation, combination, split, or reclassification of the Founder Shares or other similar event, then, as of the effective date of such consolidation, combination, split, reclassification, or similar event, all share numbers referenced in this Agreement shall be adjusted in proportion to such increase or decrease in the Founder Shares.
1.3.2. If, at any time prior to the Closing, any dividends or distributions are paid on the Founder Shares, (i) effective as of the Closing, the Sponsor hereby forfeits all rights to receive such dividends or other distributions with respect to the Forfeited Shares and (ii) the Investor shall be issued such dividends or other distributions that Investor would have received if Investor had held a number of Founder Shares equal to the Forfeited Shares immediately prior to such event.
| 2 |
1.3.3. If, at any time prior to the Closing, there shall occur any reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, or merger involving TETE in which TETE’s Ordinary Shares are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash, or other property, then, following any such reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, or merger, in lieu of the New Shares, the Company shall issue to the Investor in lieu of the New Shares the kind and amount of securities, cash, or other property receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger, or consolidation, that Investor would have received if Investor had held the New Shares immediately prior to such event.
1.4. Forfeitures; Transfers; etc. The Investor shall not be subject to forfeiture, surrender, claw-back, transfers, disposals, exchanges, or earn-outs for any reason on the New Shares. The Investor acknowledges that prior to, or at the time of, the proposed business combination, the Sponsor may subject the Founder Shares to earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, or other restrictions, or amend the terms under which the Founder Shares were issued or any restrictions or other provisions relating to the Founder Shares set forth in the instruments establishing the same (including voting in favor of any such amendment) or enter into any other arrangements with respect to the Founder Shares, and that the Sponsor may effectuate such earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments, or arrangements, including arrangements relating to the relaxation or early release of restrictions, in such amounts and pursuant to such terms as the Sponsor determines in his sole and absolute discretion for any reason. Sponsor acknowledges and agrees that any such earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments, or arrangements shall not apply to the New Shares and the terms and conditions applicable to the New Shares shall not be changed or the number or amount reduced as a result of any such earn-outs, forfeitures, transfers, restrictions, amendments, or arrangements.
1.5. Registration Rights. At the Closing, the Company will grant the Investor registration rights under the Registration Rights Agreement equivalent to the registration rights that the Sponsor has with respect to the Founder Shares, and hereby represents and confirms to the Investor that, upon the Investor’s receipt of the New Shares and execution of the Joinder (as defined below), (i) the Investor shall be a “Holder” under the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) the New Shares shall be “Registrable Securities” under the Registration Rights Agreement.
1.6. Joinder to Letter Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement. At the Closing, the Investor (or its Permitted Transferee) shall execute a joinder to the Letter Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder”), pursuant to which (i) the Investor shall agree with TETE to be bound by the transfer restrictions set forth in, and to be subject to, the provisions of the Letter Agreement solely with respect to the New Shares and (ii) to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a “Holder” thereunder with respect to the New Shares (upon acquisition thereof) as “Registrable Securities” thereunder and TETE hereby agrees to execute the Joinder contemporaneously with the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Joinder to the contrary, the Investor shall be released with respect to the New Shares from any transfer or lock-up restrictions under the Letter Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement to the same proportional extent as any holder of Founder Shares, including the Sponsor, is released from such restrictions.
1.7. Termination. This Agreement and each of the obligations of the undersigned shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the failure of TETE’s shareholders to approve the Proposals at the Meeting or the determination of the Company not to proceed to effect the Extension, (b) the fulfillment of all obligations of parties hereto, (c) the liquidation or dissolution of TETE, (d) the mutual written agreement of the parties hereto, or (e) if the Investor exercises its Redemption Rights with respect to any Investor Shares in connection with the Meeting and such Investor Shares are actually redeemed in connection with the Meeting. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Sponsor’s obligation to forfeit the Forfeited Shares and the Company’s obligation to issue the New Shares shall be conditioned on (i) the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 1.2, Section 1.5, and Section 1.6 hereof and (ii) the Investor Shares not being redeemed in connection with the Meeting.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Investor. The Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Sponsor and the Company that:
2.1. No Government Recommendation or Approval. The Investor understands that no federal or state agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the offering of the New Shares.
| 3 |
2.2. Accredited Investor. At the time the Investor was offered the New Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof, the Investor is, an institutional “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and acknowledges that the offer and sale contemplated hereby are being made in reliance, among other things, on a private placement exemption to “accredited investors” under the Securities Act and similar exemptions under state law.
2.3. Intent. The Investor is acquiring the New Shares solely for investment purposes, for such Investor’s own account (and/or for the account or benefit of its members or affiliates, as permitted), and not with a view to the distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act and the Investor has no present arrangement to sell the New Shares to or through any person or entity except as may be permitted hereunder.
2.4. Restrictions on Transfer; Trust Account; Redemption Rights.
2.4.1. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that, following their issuance, the New Shares will be subject to the transfer restrictions and certain other restrictions as set forth in the relevant provisions of the Letter Agreement.
2.4.2. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the New Shares are not entitled to, and have no right, interest, or claim of any kind in or to, any monies held in the Trust Account or distributed as a result of any dissolution or liquidation of TETE or liquidation of the Trust Account.
2.4.3. The Investor agrees only with TETE, solely for the benefit of and, notwithstanding anything else herein, enforceable only by TETE, to waive any right that it may have to elect to have TETE redeem any Investor Shares and agrees not to redeem or otherwise exercise any right to redeem, the Investor Shares and to reverse and revoke any prior redemption elections made with respect to the Investor Shares, in each case, solely in connection with the Proposals. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement is intended to restrict or prohibit the Investor’s ability to redeem any Public Shares other than the Investor Shares, or to trade or redeem any Public Shares (other than the Investor Shares) in its discretion and at any time or trade or redeem any Investor Shares in its discretion and at any time after the date of the Meeting.
2.4.4. The Investor acknowledges and understands that (a) the New Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering in the United States within the meaning of the Securities Act and have not been registered under the Securities Act and, if in the future the Investor decides to offer, resell, pledge, or otherwise transfer New Shares, such New Shares may be offered, resold, pledged, or otherwise transferred only (A) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act, (B) pursuant to an exemption from registration under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, if available, or (C) pursuant to any other available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and, in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state or any other jurisdiction and (b) the New Shares may be subject to legends and stop transfer instructions consistent with the foregoing. The Investor agrees that, if any transfer of the New Shares or any interest therein is proposed to be made (other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144 under the Securities Act), as a condition precedent to any such transfer, the Investor may be required to deliver to TETE an opinion of counsel (including internal counsel) satisfactory to TETE that registration is not required with respect to the New Shares to be transferred. Absent registration or another available exemption from registration, the Investor agrees it will not transfer the New Shares.
2.5. Sophisticated Investor. The Investor is sophisticated in business and financial matters and able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the waiver of Redemption Rights on the terms set forth in this Agreement and the investment in the New Shares.
2.6. Risk of Loss. The Investor is aware that an investment in the New Shares is highly speculative and subject to substantial risks. The Investor is cognizant of and understands the risks related to the acquisition of the New Shares, including those restrictions described or provided for in this Agreement and the Letter Agreement pertaining to transferability. The Investor is able to bear the economic risk of its investment in the New Shares for an indefinite period of time and able to sustain a complete loss of such investment.
| 4 |
2.7. Independent Investigation. The Investor has relied upon an independent investigation of TETE and has not relied upon any information or representations made by any third parties or upon any oral or written representations or assurances, express or implied, from the Sponsor or any representatives or agents of the Sponsor, other than as set forth in this Agreement. The Investor is familiar with the business, operations and financial condition of TETE and has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from TETE’s management concerning TETE and the terms and conditions of the proposed sale of the New Shares and has had full access to such other information concerning TETE as the Investor has requested. The Investor confirms that all documents that it has requested have been made available and that the Investor has been supplied with all of the additional information concerning this investment which the Investor has requested.
2.8 Disclosure of Information.

Such Investor acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to review TETE’s filings made with the SEC that are available on the SEC’s EDGAR system. Based on the information the Investor or its advisor has deemed appropriate, and without reliance on TETE or the Sponsor or their respective advisors, the Investor has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Investor or its advisor is relying exclusively on its own sources of information, investment analysis and due diligence (including professional advice it deems appropriate), including, but not limited to, all business, legal, regulatory, accounting, credit, and tax matters.
2.9. Organization and Authority. If an entity, the Investor is duly organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was organized and it possesses all requisite power and authority to acquire the New Shares, execute and deliver into this Agreement, and to perform all the obligations required to be performed by the Investor hereunder. If the Investor 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.
2.10. Non-U.S. Investor. If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Code”)), the Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the New Shares or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the acquisition of the New Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such acquisition, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the acquisition, holding, redemption, sale, or transfer of the New Shares. The Investor’s subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the New Shares will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the Investor’s jurisdiction.
2.11. Authority. This Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor, assuming due authorization, execution, and delivery by the Company and the Sponsor, is a valid and binding agreement of the Investor enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium, reorganization, or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors’ rights and remedies, or by equitable principles of general application and except as enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by federal and state securities laws or principles of public policy.
2.12. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation by the Investor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) result in a violation of the Investor’s organizational documents, (ii) violate, conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration, or cancellation of, any agreement or instrument to which the Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, statute, rule, or regulation to which the Investor is subject (including federal and state securities laws), or any order, judgment or decree applicable to Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights, or violations that would not reasonably be expected to prevent the Investor from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement.
| 5 |
2.13. No Intent to Effect a Change of Control; Ownership. The Investor has no present intent to effect a “change of control” of TETE, as such term is understood under the rules promulgated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.

The Investor has had the opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the form of Joinder with the Investor’s own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors. Except for any statements or representations of the Sponsor and the Company explicitly made in this Agreement, the Investor is relying solely on such counsel and advisors and not on any statements or representations, express or implied, of the Sponsor or the Company or any of its or their representatives or agents for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, for legal, tax, or investment advice, with respect to this investment, the Sponsor, TETE, the New Shares, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or the securities laws of any jurisdiction.

The Sponsor is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Founder Shares and will, immediately prior to the forfeiture of the Forfeited Shares, be the record and beneficial owner of the Forfeited Shares, in each case, free and clear of all liens, pledges, security interests, charges, claims, encumbrances, agreements, options, voting trusts, proxies and other arrangements or restrictions of any kind (other than transfer restrictions and other terms and conditions that apply to the Founder Shares generally and applicable securities laws).
3.3. No Conflicts.

13. Disclosure; Waiver. In connection with the entry into this Agreement, TETE will file all required disclosures required to comply with the rules and guidance promulgated by the SEC with respect to the Rule 14e-5 prohibition of purchases outside a tender offer, including, but not limited to, all requirements set forth in Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 166.01 and (to the extent that it has not already filed) a Current Report on Form 8-K under the Exchange Act reporting, to the extent not previously publicly disclosed, the material terms of this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with one another to assure that such disclosure is accurate. TETE agrees that the name of the Investor shall not be included in any public disclosures related to this Agreement unless required by applicable law, rule, regulation, or stock exchange rule. The Investor (i) acknowledges that the Sponsor may possess or have access to material non-public information which has not been communicated to the Investor; (ii) hereby waives any and all claims, whether at law, in equity or otherwise, that he, she, or it may now have or may hereafter acquire, whether presently known or unknown, against the Sponsor or any of TETE’s officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors or assigns relating to any failure to disclose any non-public information in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including any potential business combination involving TETE, including, without limitation, any claims arising under Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act; and (iii) is aware that the Sponsor and Company are relying on the truth of the representations set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement and the foregoing acknowledgement and waiver in this Section 13, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. TETE shall, by 9:30 a.m., New York City time, no later than the first business day immediately following the execution of this Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing, to the extent not previously publicly disclosed, all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other material, nonpublic information that TETE has provided to Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document or the initial Form 8-K referred to in the first sentence of this Section 13, to TETE’s knowledge, Investor shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from TETE or any of its officers, directors, or employees.
14. Independent Nature of Rights and Obligations. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any party pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and the Sponsor as, and the Sponsor acknowledges that the Investor and the Sponsor do not so constitute, a partnership, a limited partnership, a syndicate, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, including, but not limited to, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, or disposing of securities of TETE, or create a presumption that the Investor and the Sponsor are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any matters, and the Sponsor acknowledges that the Investor and the Sponsor are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Sponsor shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
15. Most Favored Nation. In the event the Sponsor or TETE has entered into or enters one or more other non-redemption agreements before or after the execution of this Agreement in connection with the Meeting, the Sponsor and TETE represent that the terms of such other agreements are not materially more favorable in the aggregate to such other investors thereunder than the terms of this Agreement are in respect of the Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sponsor and TETE hereby acknowledge and agree that a ratio of Investor Shares to New Shares in any such other non-redemption agreement that is more favorable to any other investor party to such other agreement than such ratio in this Agreement is to Investor would be materially more favorable to such other investor. In the event that another investor is afforded any such more favorable terms than the Investor, the Sponsor shall promptly inform the Investor of such more favorable terms in writing (email being sufficient), and the Investor shall have the right to elect to have such more favorable terms included herein, in which case the parties hereto shall promptly amend this Agreement to effect the same.

FORM OF JOINDER
TO
LETTER AGREEMENT
AND
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
_______, 2025
Reference is made to that certain Non-Redemption Agreement, dated as of ______, 2025 (the “Agreement”), by and among Meteora Special Opportunity Fund I, LP, LLC, Meteora Capital Partners, LP, and Meteora Select Trading Opportunities Master, LP (“Investor”), Technology & Telecommunication Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”), and Technology & Telecommunication LLC (the “Sponsor”), pursuant to which Investor agreed not to exercise Redemption Rights with respect to certain Investor Shares and, in consideration therefor, acquired securities of the Company upon the consummation of the Company’s proposed business combination. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
By executing this Joinder, Investor hereby agrees, as of the date first set forth above, that Investor (i) shall become a party to that certain Letter Agreement, dated January 14, 2022, by and among TETE, the Sponsor, and TETE’s officers and directors (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Letter Agreement”), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Letter Agreement, and shall be bound by, and shall, subject to the acknowledgment below, be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth under the relevant provisions of the Letter Agreement solely with respect to its New Shares in the same manner as if Investor were a “Sponsor” original signatory to the Letter Agreement; provided, however, that the Investor shall be permitted to transfer its New Shares to its affiliates in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Letter Agreement; and (ii) shall become a party to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated January 14, 2022, by and among the Company, its officers and directors, and the Sponsor (as it may be amended from time to time, including in connection with the proposed business combination, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and shall be bound by the terms and provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement as a Holder (as defined therein) and entitled to the rights of a Holder under the Registration Rights Agreement and the New Shares (together with any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to any such New Shares by way of a share dividend or share subdivision or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation, or reorganization) shall be “Registrable Securities” thereunder.
For the purposes of clarity, it is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained herein, in the Letter Agreement (to the extent applicable to the Investor) and the Registration Rights Agreement is between the Company and Investor, solely, and not between and among Investor and the other shareholders of the Company signatory thereto.
This joinder may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by electronic mail (including any electronic signature covered by the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures and Records Act or other applicable law, e.g., www.docusign.com) or other transmission method, all of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
