We believe Mr.

−Removed: Family Relationships
−Removed: There are no family relationships between any of our current officers or directors.
−Removed: Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
−Removed: Our Directors
−Removed: Our board of directors 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.
−Removed: In accordance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on the Nasdaq.
−Removed: The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Paul P.

−Removed: Holders of our public shares will not have the right to vote on the appointment or removal of directors prior to the completion of an initial business combination.

−Removed: Director Independence
−Removed: The Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent, subject to certain phase-in provisions.
−Removed: An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the company’s board of directors, would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

−Removed: Controlled Company Status
−Removed: Until the completion of our initial business combination, only holders of our founder shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors.

−Removed: We do not intend to utilize these exemptions and intend to comply with the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq, subject to applicable phase-in rules.
−Removed: However, if we determine in the future to utilize some or all of these exemptions, you will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.
−Removed: Committees of the Board of Directors
−Removed: Our board of directors has two standing committees:
−Removed: an audit committee and a compensation committee.
−Removed: Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of the Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

−Removed: We have not formally established any specific, minimum qualifications that must be met or skills that are necessary for directors to possess.

−Removed: Our board of directors may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members.

−Removed: and (ii) 30,000 founder shares to Philippe J.
−Removed: Kurzweil, our former Chief Financial Officer and Secretary, in exchange for the payment of $100, or approximately $0.0033 per share.
−Removed: None of these granted founder shares were subject to forfeiture in the event that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full.
−Removed: Since November 3, 2021 and until the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we have been and will continue to reimburse an affiliate of our sponsor for office space and administrative and support services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month.

−Removed: 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.
−Removed: 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 business combination.

+Added: shares of Common Stock equal to 5.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the last day of the immediately
+Added: preceding calendar year, or (ii) such lesser number of shares of Common Stock as determined by the Committee.
+Added: The maximum number of shares
+Added: of Common Stock available for issuance pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the 2024 Plan is the same as the total number
+Added: of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan.

+Added: and unissued shares of Common Stock, or treasury shares of Common Stock, or a combination of the foregoing.
+Added: shares of Common Stock covered by an award, or portion of an award, granted under the 2024 Plan that are not purchased or forfeited or

+Added: incentive stock options.
+Added: An option granted under the 2024 Plan is exercisable only to the extent that it is vested.
+Added: Each option becomes
+Added: vested and exercisable at such times and under such conditions as the Committee may approve consistent with the terms of the 2024 Plan.
+Added: No option may be exercisable more than ten years after the option grant date, or five years after the option grant date in the case of
+Added: an incentive stock option granted to a “ten percent stockholder” (as defined in the 2024 Plan);
+Added: provided that, to the extent
+Added: deemed necessary or appropriate by the Committee to reflect differences in local law, tax policy, or custom with respect to any option
+Added: granted to a grantee who is a foreign national or is a natural person who is employed outside of the United States, such option may terminate,
+Added: and all rights to purchase shares of Common Stock thereunder may cease, upon the expiration of a period longer than ten (10)
+Added: years from the date of grant of such option as the Committee shall determine.
+Added: The Committee may include in the option agreement provisions
+Added: specifying the period during which an option may be exercised following termination of the grantee’s service.
+Added: The exercise price
+Added: of each option is determined by the Committee, provided that the per share exercise price will be equal to or greater than 100% of the
+Added: fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date (other than as permitted for substitute awards).
+Added: If we were to grant incentive
+Added: stock options to any ten percent stockholder, the per share exercise price would not be less than 110% of the fair market value of a
+Added: share of Common Stock on the grant date.

+Added: Common Stock, or a combination of the two.
+Added: The amount that the recipient receives upon exercise of the SAR generally equals the excess
+Added: of the fair market value of shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise over the fair market value of shares of Common Stock on the
+Added: SARs become exercisable in accordance with terms determined by the Committee.
+Added: SARs may be granted in tandem with an option
+Added: grant or independently from an option grant.
+Added: The term of a SAR cannot exceed ten (10) years from the date of grant.

+Added: The Committee may determine that all or part
+Added: of a SAR may be transferred to certain family members of the grantee by gift or other transfers deemed not to be for value.
+Added: so long as the Common Stock remains listed on Nasdaq, the fair market value of the Common Stock on an award’s grant date, or on
+Added: any other date for which fair market value is required to be established under the 2024 Plan, is the closing price of the Common Stock
+Added: as reported on Nasdaq on such date.
+Added: If there is no such reported closing price on such date, the fair market value of the Common Stock
+Added: will be the closing price of the Common Stock as reported on such market on the next preceding date on which any sale of Common Stock
+Added: will have been reported.
+Added: the Common Stock ceases to be listed on Nasdaq and is listed on another established national or regional stock exchange, or traded on
+Added: another established securities market, fair market value will similarly be determined by reference to the closing price of the Common
+Added: Stock on the applicable date as reported on such other stock exchange or established securities market.
+Added: the Common Stock ceases to be listed on Nasdaq or another established national or regional stock exchange, or traded on another established
+Added: securities market, the Committee will determine the fair market value of the Common Stock by the reasonable application of a reasonable
+Added: valuation method in a manner consistent with Section 409A of the Code.
+Added: in connection with a corporate transaction involving us (including, without limitation, any stock dividend, distribution (whether in
+Added: the form of cash, shares of common stock, other securities or other property), stock split, extraordinary dividend, recapitalization,
+Added: change in control, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of common
+Added: stock or other securities or similar transaction), we may not, without obtaining stockholder approval, (a) amend the terms of outstanding
+Added: options or SARs to reduce the exercise price of such outstanding options or SARs, (b) cancel outstanding options or SARs in exchange
+Added: for, or in substitution of, options or SARs with an exercise price that is less than the exercise price of the original options or SARs,
+Added: or (c) cancel outstanding options or SARs with an exercise price above the current price of Common Stock in exchange for cash or other
+Added: securities, in each case, unless such action is (i) subject to and approved by our stockholders, or (ii) would not be deemed to be a
+Added: repricing under the rules of any stock exchange or securities market on which the Common Stock is listed or publicly traded.
+Added: Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and Deferred Stock Units
+Added: 2024 Plan authorizes the Committee to grant restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units.

+Added: of the 2024 Plan, the Committee determines the terms and conditions of each award of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred
+Added: stock units, including the restricted period for all or a portion of the award, the restrictions applicable to the award, and the purchase
+Added: price, if any, for the shares of Common Stock subject to the award.

+Added: The Committee may provide in an award agreement evidencing a grant of restricted stock that (a) cash dividend payments or distributions
+Added: paid on restricted stock will be reinvested in shares of Common Stock, which may or may not be subject to the same vesting conditions
+Added: and restrictions as applicable to such shares of restricted stock, or (b) any dividend payments or distributions declared or paid on
+Added: shares of restricted stock will only be made or paid upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions and restrictions applicable to such
+Added: shares of restricted stock.
+Added: Dividend payments or distributions declared or paid on shares of restricted stock which vest or are earned
+Added: based on the achievement of performance goals do not vest unless such performance goals for such shares of restricted stock are achieved,
+Added: and if such performance goals are not achieved, the grantee of such shares of restricted stock promptly forfeits and, to the extent already
+Added: paid or distributed, repay to us such dividend payments or distributions.
+Added: Grantees of restricted stock units and deferred stock units
+Added: have no voting or dividend rights or other rights associated with share ownership, although the Committee may award dividend equivalent

+Added: or may be deemed to be reinvested in additional shares of Common Stock or awards which may thereafter accrue additional dividend equivalent
+Added: rights (with or without being subject to forfeiture or a repayment obligation) and may be payable in cash, shares of Common Stock, or
+Added: a combination of the two.
+Added: Dividend equivalent rights granted as a component of another award may (a) provide that such dividend equivalent
+Added: right will be settled upon exercise, settlement, or payment of, or lase of restriction on, such other award and that such dividend equivalent
+Added: will expire or be forfeited or annulled under the same conditions as such award or (b) contain terms and conditions which are different
+Added: from the terms and conditions of such other award, provided that dividend equivalent rights credited pursuant to a dividend equivalent
+Added: right granted as a component of another award which vests or is earned based on the achievement of performance goals will not vest unless
+Added: such performance goals for such underlying award are achieved, and if such performance goals are not achieved, the grantee of such dividend
+Added: equivalent right will promptly forfeit and, to the extent already paid or distributed, repay to us payments or distributions made in
+Added: connection with such dividend equivalent rights.
