This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”), dated as of July 20, 2023, to the Investment Management Trust Agreement (as defined below) is made by and between Technology & Telecommunication Acquisition Corporation (the “Company”) and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as trustee (“Trustee”). All terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Trust Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Company and the Trustee entered into an Investment Management Trust Agreement dated as of January 14, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”);
WHEREAS, Section 1(i) of the Trust Agreement sets forth the terms that govern the liquidation of the Trust Account under the circumstances described therein;
WHEREAS, at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company held on July 18, 2023 (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”), the Company’s shareholders approved (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s amended and restated articles of association (the “A&R COI”) giving the Company the right to extend the date by which it has to consummate a business combination on a month-to-month basis (each a “Monthly Extension”) beginning on July 20, 2023 until July 20, 2024 (i.e., for up to a period of time ending thirty (30) months after the consummation of its initial public offering); and (ii) a proposal to amend the Trust Agreement requiring the Company to deposit into the Trust Account, for each Monthly Extension that is exercised, the lesser of (a) $144,000 and (b) $0.045 for each Class A ordinary share that remains issued and outstanding after taking into account any redemptions in connection with the solicitation of such shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting (such amount, the “Monthly Extension Amount”); and
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
1. Section 1(i) of the Trust Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(i) Commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after receipt of, and only in accordance with, the terms of a letter (“Termination Letter”), in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as either Exhibit A or Exhibit B, signed on behalf of the Company by its President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the board of directors (the “Board”) or other authorized officer of the Company, and complete the liquidation of the Trust Account and distribute the Property in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses), only as directed in the Termination Letter and the other documents referred to therein; provided, however, that in the event that a Termination Letter has not been received by the Trustee by (A) the date that is 18 months after the closing of the IPO (“Closing”), or (B) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board extends the time to complete a Business Combination by one (1) month, the date that is 19 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 18 months after the Closing, or (C) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 20 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 19 months after the Closing, or (D) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 21 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 20 months after the Closing; or (E) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 22 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 21 months after the Closing; or (F) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 23 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 22 months after the Closing; or (G) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 24 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 23 months after the Closing; or (H) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 25 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 24 months after the Closing; or (I) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 26 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 25 months after the Closing; or (J) if the President, Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the Board further extends the time to complete a Business Combination by an additional 1-month period, the date that is 30 months after the Closing, provided that the Company deposits the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account on or prior to the date that is 26 months after the Closing; but if the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the applicable monthly anniversary of the Closing (“Last Date”), the Trust Account shall be liquidated in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Termination Letter attached as Exhibit B hereto and the Property in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest that may be released to the Company to pay dissolution expenses) shall be distributed to the Public Shareholders of record as of the Last Date; provided, however, that in the event the Trustee receives a Termination Letter in a form substantially similar to Exhibit B hereto, or if the Trustee begins to liquidate the Property because it has received no such Termination Letter by the date specified in clause (y) of this Section 1(i) the Trustee shall keep the Trust Account open until twelve (12) months following the date the Property has been distributed to the Public Shareholders. As an example, if during the 19 month after the Closing, the Company does not deposit the Monthly Extension Amount into the Trust Account by the last day of the 19th month, then the Last Date shall be the last day of the 19th month.
2. A new Section 1(m) shall be added as follows:
“(m) Upon receipt of an extension letter (“Extension Letter”) substantially similar to Exhibit E hereto at least five days prior to the applicable termination date (as may be extended in accordance with Section 1(i)), signed on behalf of the Company by an executive officer, and receipt of the dollar amount specified in the Extension Letter on or prior to such termination date (if and as applicable), to follow the instructions set forth in the Extension Letter.”
