Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated

Number
and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
Our
board of directors consists of five members and is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each
year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term.
In accordance with Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are required to hold an annual general meeting within one year after
our first full fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, which consists of
Nicholas Shekerdemian, will expire at our first annual general meeting. The term of office of the second class of directors, which consists
of Paula Sutter and Brian Pitz, will expire at the second annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors,
which consists of Michael Blitzer and Guy Shanon will expire at the third annual general meeting.
Our
officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms
of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint officers as it deems appropriate pursuant to our Amended and Restated Memorandum
and Articles of Association.
Committees
of the Board of Directors
Our
board of directors has two standing committees: an audit committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules, the rules
of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent
directors. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities described
below.
Audit
Committee
We
have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Paula Sutter, Nicholas Shekerdemian and Brian Pitz serve as the members
of our audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of
the audit committee, all of whom must be independent, subject to the exception described below. Ms. Sutter and Mr. Shekerdemian each
meet the independent director standard under Nasdaq listing standards and under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. We have one year
from the date of our listing on Nasdaq to have our audit committee be comprised solely of independent members. We intend to identify
one additional independent director to serve on the audit committee within one year of our listing on Nasdaq, at which time Mr. Pitz
will resign from the committee.
Paula
Sutter serves as the chairperson of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of
directors has determined that Brian Pitz qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC
rules.
We
have adopted an audit committee charter, which details the principal functions of the audit committee, including:
● assisting
board oversight of: (1) the integrity of our financial statements; (2) our compliance
with legal and regulatory requirements; (3) our independent auditor’s qualifications
and independence; and (4) the performance of our internal audit function and independent
auditors; the appointment, compensation, retention, replacement, and oversight of the work
of the independent auditors and any other independent registered public accounting firm engaged
by us;
● pre-approving all
audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditors or any other
registered public accounting firm engaged by us, and establishing pre-approval policies
and procedures; reviewing and discussing with the independent auditors all relationships
the auditors have with us in order to evaluate their continued independence;
57
● setting
clear policies for audit partner rotation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
obtaining and reviewing a report, at least annually, from the independent auditors describing:
(1) the independent auditor’s internal quality-control procedures; and (2) any
material issues raised by the most recent internal quality-control review, or peer review,
of the audit firm, or by any inquiry or investigation by governmental or professional authorities,
within the preceding five years respecting one or more independent audits carried out by
the firm and any steps taken to deal with such issues;
●
meeting to
review and discuss our annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with management and the independent
auditor, including reviewing our specific disclosures under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations”;
●
reviewing and approving
any related party transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC prior
to us entering into such transaction; and
●
reviewing
with management, the independent auditors, and our legal advisors, as appropriate, any legal, regulatory or compliance matters, including
any correspondence with regulators or government agencies and any employee complaints or published reports that raise material issues
regarding our financial statements or accounting policies and any significant changes in accounting standards or rules promulgated
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the SEC or other regulatory authorities.
Compensation
Committee
Our
board of directors has established a compensation committee of our board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are
Paula Sutter and Nicholas Shekerdemian. Paula Sutter serves as chair of the compensation committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards
and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have a compensation committee of at least two members, all of whom must be independent.
Paula Sutter and Nicholas Shekerdemian are independent. We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal
functions of the compensation committee, including:
●
reviewing
and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our co-chief executive officers’ compensation,
evaluating our co-chief executive officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving
the remuneration (if any) of our co-chief executive officers’ based on such evaluation;
●
reviewing and making recommendations to
our board of directors with respect to the compensation, and any incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to
board approval of all of our other officers;
●
reviewing our executive compensation policies
and plans;
●
implementing and administering our incentive
compensation equity-based remuneration plans;
●
assisting management in complying with our
proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;
●
approving all special perquisites, special
cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;
●
producing a report on executive compensation
to be included in our annual proxy statement; and
●
reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes,
if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.
The
charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant,
legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such
adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the
compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.
58
Director Nominations
We do not have a standing nominating committee
though we intend to form a corporate governance and nominating committee as and when required to do so by law or Nasdaq rules. In accordance
with Rule 5605(e) (2) of the Nasdaq rules, a majority of the independent directors may recommend a director nominee for selection
by our board of directors. Our board of directors believes that the independent directors can satisfactorily carry out the responsibility
of properly selecting or approving director nominees without the formation of a standing nominating committee. The directors who
participate in the consideration and recommendation of director nominees are Paula Sutter and Nicholas Shekerdemian. In accordance with
Rule 5605(e)(1)(A) of the Nasdaq rules, all such directors are independent. As there is no standing nominating committee, we do not
have a nominating committee charter in place.
The board of directors will also consider director
candidates recommended for nomination by our shareholders during such times as they are seeking proposed nominees to stand for election
at the next annual meeting of shareholders (or, if applicable, a special meeting of shareholders). Our shareholders that wish to nominate
a director for election to our board of directors should follow the procedures set forth in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association.
We have not formally established any specific,
minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess. In general, in identifying and evaluating
nominees for director, our board of directors considers educational background, diversity of professional experience, knowledge of our
business, integrity, professional reputation, independence, wisdom, and the ability to represent the best interests of our shareholders.
Code of Ethics
We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to
our directors, officers and employees. We filed a copy of our Code of Ethics as an exhibit to the registration statement for our Initial
Public Offering. You are able to review this document by accessing our public filings at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov
or on our website at inflectionpointacquisition.com/investor-relations/default.aspx . In addition, a copy of the Code of Ethics
and the charters of the committees of our board of directors will be provided without charge upon request from us. If we make any amendments
to our Code of Ethics other than technical, administrative or other non-substantive amendments, or grant any waiver, including any
implicit waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal
accounting officer or controller or persons performing similar functions requiring disclosure under applicable SEC or Nasdaq rules, we
will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website. The information included on our website is not incorporated by reference
into this Annual Report or in any other report or document we file with the SEC, and any references to our website are intended to
be inactive textual references only.
Conflicts of Interest
Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers
owe the following fiduciary duties:
(i)
duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;
(ii)
duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;
(iii)
directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;
(iv)
duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;
(v)
duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and
(vi)
duty to exercise independent judgment.
In addition to the above, directors also owe a
duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having
both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried
out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.
59
As set out above, directors have a duty not to
put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of
their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance
by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum
and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at general meetings.
Each of our officers and directors presently has, and any of them in
the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to at least one other entity pursuant to which such officer or director
is or will be required to present an Initial Business Combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors
becomes aware of an Initial Business Combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary
or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such Initial Business Combination
opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer
shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same
or similar business activities or lines of business as us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered
an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer,
on the one hand, and us, on the other. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers
or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our Initial Business Combination.
Below is a table summarizing the entities to which
our officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties or contractual obligations:

In addition, our Sponsor and our officers and directors may sponsor
or form other SPACs similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an Initial
Business Combination. As a result, our Sponsor, officers and directors could have conflicts of interest in determining whether to present
Initial Business Combination opportunities to us or to any other SPAC with which they may become involved. Any such companies, businesses
or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an Initial Business Combination target. However, we do not believe
that any such potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our Initial Business Combination.
60
Investors should also be aware of the following
other potential conflicts of interest:
● Our officers and directors are not required to, do not, and
will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations
and our search for an Initial Business Combination and their other businesses. We do not have, and do not intend to have, any full-time employees
prior to the completion of our Initial Business Combination. Each of our officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for
which he or she may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of
hours per week to our affairs.
● Our Sponsor purchased Founder Shares and Private Placement Warrants
prior to, and in connection with, the closing of our Public Offering. Our Sponsor, officers and directors have entered into a letter agreement
with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in
connection with the completion of our Initial Business Combination. One of our Anchor Investors, Kingstown 1740 Fund L.P. which is affiliated
with our Sponsor and members of our management team, has agreed to waive, solely to the extent necessary for us to have shareholders’
equity of at least $5,000,001, its redemption rights with respect to 1,386,989 Public Shares held by it (i) in connection with the completion
of our Initial Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles
of Association (a) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with an Initial Business Combination
or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares that are not Non-Redemption Shares if we have not consummated an Initial Business Combination within
the time period set forth in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association or (b) with respect to any other material
provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Initial Business Combination activity or in the context of a tender offer made
by us to purchase Public Shares. Additionally, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions
from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares if we fail to complete our Initial Business Combination within the prescribed
time frame. If we do not complete our Initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame, the Private Placement Warrants will
expire worthless. Furthermore, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares
and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion
of our Initial Business Combination or (ii) the date following the completion of our Initial Business Combination on which we complete
a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange
their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of our Class A
Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations
and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our Initial Business Combination,
the Founder Shares will be released from the lockup. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable
upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable until 30 days following the completion of our Initial Business
Combination. Because each of our officers and directors and our special advisor own ordinary shares or Warrants directly or indirectly,
they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate
our Initial Business Combination.
● Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest
with respect to evaluating a particular Initial Business Combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors
was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our Initial Business Combination.
We are not prohibited from pursuing an Initial
Business Combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers or directors, or completing the Initial Business Combination
through a joint venture or other form of shared ownership with our Sponsor, officers or directors. In the event we seek to complete an
Initial Business Combination with a target that is affiliated (as defined in our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association)
with our Sponsor, officers or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, would obtain an opinion from an independent investment
banking firm which is a member of FINRA or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions stating that the consideration
to be paid by us in such an Initial Business Combination is fair to our Company from a financial point of view. We are not required to
obtain such an opinion in any other context. Furthermore, in no event will our Sponsor or any of our existing officers or directors, or
any of their respective affiliates, be paid by the Company any finder’s fee, consulting fee or other compensation prior to, or for
any services they render in order to effectuate, the completion of our Initial Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing
on the date our securities are first listed on Nasdaq, we pay Kingstown Capital Management L.P., an affiliate of our Sponsor, $15,000
per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team. Commencing
on the same date, the Company reimburses its Sponsor for services provided by one of the Sponsor’s employees who serves as COS at
the rate of $12,500 per month.
We cannot assure you that any of the above mentioned
conflicts will be resolved in our favor.
In the event that we submit our Initial Business
Combination to our Public Shareholders for a vote, our Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares, and they
and the other members of our management team have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and any Public Shares in favor of our Initial Business
Combination.
61
Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to
which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the
extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification
against willful default, fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred
in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We have purchased a policy of
directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement
or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.
Our officers and directors have agreed to waive
any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest
or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse
against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us
if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an Initial Business Combination.
Our indemnification obligations may discourage
shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have
the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful,
might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent
we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.
We believe that these provisions, the insurance
and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

We entered into an agreement with the Sponsor
whereby, commencing on September 21, 2021 through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and our liquidation,
we agreed to pay the Sponsor $15,000 per month for administrative and support services provided to members of our management team. For
the period from September 21, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the Company incurred $48,000 of administrative services under this arrangement.
Following its IPO, the Company also reimburses its Sponsor for services provided by one of the Sponsor’s employees who serves as
COS at the rate of $12,500 per month.
Except as described herein, no compensation of any kind, including
finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the Company to our Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates,
for services rendered prior to or in connection with the completion of an Initial Business Combination. However, these individuals will
be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target
businesses and performing due diligence on suitable Initial Business Combinations. Further, commencing on the date our securities were
first listed on Nasdaq, we also pay Kingstown Capital Management L.P., an affiliate of our Sponsor, $15,000 per month for office space,
utilities, secretarial and administrative services provided to members of our management team as described above.
After the completion of our Initial Business Combination,
directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All
of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials
furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed Initial Business Combination. We have not established any limit on the amount
of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation
will be known at the time of the proposed Initial Business Combination, because the directors of the post-combination business will be
responsible for determining officer and director compensation.
Any compensation to be paid to our officers will
be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent
directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.
We do not intend to take any action to ensure
that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our Initial Business Combination, although
it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after
our Initial Business Combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with
us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability
of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our Initial Business Combination will be a determining factor in our decision
to proceed with any potential Initial Business Combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide
for benefits upon termination of employment.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None of our officers currently serves, or in the
past year has served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more officers serving on our board of directors.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related
Transactions, and Director Independence.
Founder Shares
In February 2021, Inflection Point Holdings LLC,
our Sponsor, paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain of the Company’s offering costs in exchange for 7,187,500
Founder Shares. Subsequently on March 5, 2021, we effected a 1.2 to 1 share recapitalization with respect to our Class B ordinary shares,
as a result of which our Sponsor then held 8,625,000 Founder Shares. On October 29, 2021, as a result of the partial exercise of the over-allotment
option, the Sponsor forfeited 381,250 of these shares and the remaining Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.
The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary
Shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the Company’s Initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis,
subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to
further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities are issued
or deemed issued in connection with the Company’s Initial Business Combination, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable
upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding
after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares by Public Shareholders), including the total number of
Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or
rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the Initial Business Combination,
excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Ordinary
Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the Initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor,
or the Company’s officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares
will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.
The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and
directors have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion
thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the Initial Business Combination, or (ii) the date
on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the Initial Business Combination
that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities
or other property; except to certain permitted transferees and under certain circumstances (the lock-up). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if (1) the closing price of Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share
capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing
at least 150 days after the Initial Business Combination or (2) if the Company consummates a transaction after the Initial Business
Combination which results in the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other
property, the Founder Shares will be released from the lock-up.
Private Placement Warrants
The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,845,000
Private Placement Warrants, 6,250,000 of those were purchased in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and 595,000
of them were purchased in a private placement simultaneously with the sale of the Over-Allotment Units, at a price of $1.00 per Private
Placement Warrant, or $6,845,000 in the aggregate. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one Class A Ordinary Share at a price
of $11.50 per share (subject to adjustment). A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor
were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering to be held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete an Initial
Business Combination within 24 months after the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.
While they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable. The Sponsor agreed,
subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Private Placement Warrants (except to permitted transferees)
until 30 days after the completion of the Initial Business Combination.
Forward Purchase Agreement
On September 21, 2021, the Company entered into a forward purchase
agreement pursuant to which Kingstown (Kingstown 1740 Fund, LP and Kingfishers L.P., which are affiliates of Kingstown Capital Partners,
LLC and our Sponsor) agreed to purchase up to 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares, for $10.00 per share, or an aggregate amount of up to
$50,000,000, in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of the Initial Business Combination, subject to approval
by the Kingstown investment committee. The proceeds from the sale of these Forward Purchase Shares, together with the amounts available
to the Company from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other equity or debt financing
obtained by the Company in connection with the Initial Business Combination, will be used to satisfy the cash requirements of the Initial
Business Combination, including funding the purchase price and paying expenses and retaining specified amounts to be used by the post-Initial
Business Combination company for working capital or other purposes. To the extent that the amounts available from the Trust Account and
other financing are sufficient for such cash requirements, Kingstown may purchase less than 5,000,000 Forward Purchase Shares. In addition,
Kingstown’s commitment under the forward purchase agreement will be subject to approval of its investment committee prior to the
closing of the Company’s Initial Business Combination. Accordingly, if Kingstown’s investment committee does not give its
approval, Kingstown will not be obligated to purchase the Forward Purchase Shares. Further, the Company has the right, in its sole discretion,
to reduce the amount of Forward Purchase Shares that Kingstown may purchase pursuant to the forward purchase agreement. Pursuant to the
terms of the forward purchase agreement, Kingstown will have the option to assign its commitment to one of its affiliates and up to $5,000,000
to members of the Company’s management team or board of directors. The Forward Purchase Shares will be identical to the Public Shares
included in the Units sold in the Public Offering, except that they will be subject to transfer restrictions and registration rights.

Related Party Loans
On February 2, 2021, we issued the Promissory
Note, an unsecured promissory note, to the Sponsor, pursuant to which we could borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000.
The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of December 31, 2021 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering.
The Promissory Note was paid in full on September 30, 2021.
On September 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to provide
the Company with loans in such amounts as may be required by the Company to fund the Company’s working capital requirements up to
an aggregate of $250,000, and no amounts have been drawn upon this loan commitment.
Administrative Services Agreement
We entered into an agreement with the Sponsor
whereby, commencing on September 21, 2021 through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination and our liquidation,
we agreed to pay the Sponsor $15,000 per month for administrative and support services provided to members of our management team.
For the period from September 21, 2021 to December 31, 2021, the Company
incurred $48,000 of administrative services under this arrangement.
Professional Service Agreement
The Company reimburses its Sponsor for services
provided by one of the Sponsor’s employees who serves as the Company’s Chief of Staff (“ COS ”). The COS
receives $12,500 per month for services rendered, commencing September 25, 2021, through the closing of our initial business combination.
For the period from January 27, 2021 (date of inception) through December 31, 2021, the Company recorded $40,000 of compensation for services
provided. As of December 31, 2021, there was no balance due to the COS.
