(c)

Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Registered Free Trading Shares of Common Stock Upon Exercise.

For example, if the Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of the Note with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Holder $1,000. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to

(b)

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Note is outstanding and not wholly converted, (i) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person or entity, (ii) the Company (or any subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another person or entity) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s share capital, (iv) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effects any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock are effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) the Company, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or entity whereby such other person or entity acquires more than 50% of the aggregate voting power of the Company’s share capital (not including shares held by the other person or entity) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Note, the Holder shall have the right to receive, for each Conversion Registered Ordinary Free Trading Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the Holder (without regard to any limitation in Section 2(e) on the conversion of this Note), the number of shares of capital stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or Common Stock of the Company, if it is the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result

A-5

EXHIBIT A – FORM OF CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number Common Stock representing the Conversion Registered Free Trading Shares of Common Stock for which this Note is convertible immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such conversion, the determination of the Conversion Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of shares issued in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Conversion Price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of this Note following such Fundamental Transaction.

Upon the occurrence of any such Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the Purchase Agreement referring to the Company shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the Purchase Agreement with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein.

(c)

(d)

Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 4, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder by facsimile or email a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and any resulting adjustment to the number of Conversion Common Stock and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

Transfer Agent:

GCT Semiconductor Holding, Inc. (“Issuer”) a Delaware Corporation and Indigo Capital LP (“Investor”) have entered into a Promissory Note dated as of December 15, 2025, in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Note”).

A copy of the Note is attached hereto. You should familiarize yourself with your issuance and delivery obligations, as Transfer Agent, contained herein. The shares to be issued are to be registered in the name of the registered holder of the securities submitted for conversion or exercise.

You are hereby irrevocably authorized and instructed to reserve [amount] shares of common stock (“Common Stock”) of the Company for issuance upon full conversion of the Note. The amount of Common Stock so reserved may be increased, from time to time, by written instructions of the Company and the Investor so long as there are sufficient authorized and unissued shares of the company not otherwise reserved available to do so.

So long as you have previously received confirmation from the Company (or Investor’s counsel) that the shares attached to this Promissory Note have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as pursuant to Company’s S-3 Registration Statement filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and declared effective on April 1, 2025 under File Number 333-286316 which was originally filed on April 1, 2025, and the Company or its counsel or Investor's counsel provides (or has provided) an opinion of counsel to that effect that is satisfactory to the transfer agent, other documentation that may reasonably be requested, and the number of shares to be issued are less than 4.99% of the total issued and outstanding common stock of the Company, such shares should be transferred in certificated form without any legend which would restrict the transfer of the shares, and you should remove all stop-transfer instructions relating to such shares (such shares shall be issued from the reserve, but in the event there are insufficient reserve shares of Common Stock to accommodate a Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to the Note your firm and the Company agree that the Conversion Notice should be completed using authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that the Company has in its treasury that are not otherwise reserved). Until such time as you are advised by Investor or Company counsel as above that the shares have been registered under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction, you are hereby instructed to place the following legend on the certificates:

EXHIBIT B – IRREVOCABLE TRANSFER AND INSTRUCTION AGREEMENT

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

The Company hereby requests that your firm act promptly, without unreasonable delay and without the need for any action or confirmation by the Company with respect to the issuance of Common Stock pursuant to any Conversion Notices received from the Investor.

The Company shall indemnify you and your officers, directors, principals, partners, agents and representatives, and hold each of them harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred by or asserted against you or any of them arising out of or in connection with the instructions set forth herein, the performance of your duties hereunder and otherwise in respect hereof, including the costs and expenses of defending yourself or themselves against any claim or liability hereunder, including claims that may be asserted by the Company, except that the Company shall not be liable hereunder as to matters in respect of which it is determined that you have acted with gross negligence or in bad faith. You shall have no liability to the Company in respect to any action taken or any failure to act in respect of this if such action was taken or omitted to be taken in good faith, and you shall be entitled to rely in this regard on the advice of counsel.

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved the foregoing (irrevocable instructions) and does hereby extend the Company's irrevocable agreement to indemnify your firm for all loss, liability or expense in carrying out the authority and direction herein contained on the terms herein set forth.

All processing fees will be expected and payable upon receipt of the request from the presenter of such request. The Investor and the Company understand and agree that the current cost of processing such a conversion is estimated to be between $205 and $275 which does not include RUSH fees. The Company and Investor understand and agree that the Transfer Agent’s fee schedule is subject to change and the Investor and the Company agree to pay the full amount of any such conversion according to the Transfer Agent’s fee schedule then in force. The Transfer Agent shall not be obligated to process any request until and unless its fees are paid.

The Company agrees that the Transfer Agent may resign as the Company's transfer agent.

and if there are any remaining shares in the reservation that are to be released and returned to the Company’s Authorized shares. The Company has executed and delivered to PST a Board of Director’s Resolution, Minutes of the Meeting or Secretary’s Certificate indicating such and the Transfer Agent entered into this agreement in material reliance on such documentation.

The Investor and Company expressly understand and agree that nothing in this Irrevocable Transfer Instruction Agreement shall require or be construed in any way to require the transfer agent, in its sole discretion as the Transfer Agent, to do, take or not do or take any action that would be contrary to any Federal or State law, rule, or regulation including but expressly not limited to both the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended and the rules and regulations promulgated there under by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
