NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Lock-Up Provisions.

(a) The Supporting Sponsor Shareholder hereby agrees not to (1) Transfer any Restricted Securities from and after the Closing and until the earlier of (w) the twelve (12) month anniversary of the date of the Closing, (x) the date after the Closing on which Pioneer completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of Pioneer’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares in Pioneer for cash, securities or other property (clause (x), a “Liquidity Event”), (y) if after the Closing a third party makes a tender offer or similar transaction to all of Pioneer’s shareholders to acquire greater than 50% (which minimum condition shall be non-waivable) of the outstanding Pioneer Shares for cash, securities or other property (a “Third Party Tender”), the last day on which Pioneer Shares may be tendered or otherwise committed in connection with such Third Party Tender, provided that, if such Third Party Tender is not completed, the Lock-Up Period shall be revived and continue in accordance with its terms (and for the avoidance of doubt, such Pioneer Shares may only be Transferred pursuant to this clause (y) in the Third Party Tender itself and not otherwise outside the Third Party Tender), and (z) the trading day, if any, on which the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares of Pioneer equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, share consolidations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 consecutive trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date (such period described in this clause (1), the “Lock-Up Period”), and (2) from and after the execution of the Combination Agreement and until the end of the Lock-Up Period, directly or indirectly, engage in any short sales or other hedging or derivative transactions in respect of the Restricted Securities that require the disclosure of such transaction on either Form 3 or Form 4 pursuant to the applicable requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act; provided that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to the Transfer of any or all of the Restricted Securities owned by the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder made in respect of a Permitted Transfer (as defined below); provided, further, that in any of case of a Permitted Transfer, it shall be a condition to such Transfer that the transferee executes and delivers to Pioneer and the Company an agreement, in substantially the same form of this Agreement, stating that the transferee is receiving and holding the Restricted Securities subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder, and there shall be no further Transfer of such Restricted Securities except in accordance with this Agreement. As used herein, “Transfer” shall mean (i) the sale of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecation, pledge, loan, grant of any option, right or warrant to purchase or other disposal of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder with respect to any security, including any Restricted Security, (ii) entry into any swap, hedging, or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, including any Restricted Security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (iii) public announcement or disclosure of any action or intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii). As used in this Agreement, the term “Permitted Transfer” shall mean a Transfer made: (A) in the case of Supporting Sponsor Shareholder being an individual, by gift to a member of one of the individual’s immediate family, or to a trust or other estate planning vehicle, the beneficiary of which is a member of the individual’s immediate family, an affiliate of such person or to a charitable organization; (B) in the case of Supporting Sponsor Shareholder being an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of Supporting Sponsor Shareholder; (C) in the case of Supporting Sponsor Shareholder being an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order; (D) by pro rata distributions from Supporting Sponsor Shareholder to its members, partners, or shareholders pursuant to the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder’s organizational documents; (E) by virtue of applicable law or the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of Supporting Sponsor Shareholder; (F) to Pioneer for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a Liquidity Event; (G) in the event of Pioneer’s liquidation prior to the completion of a Liquidity Event or Third Party Tender; (H) in the event of completion of a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction which results in all of the Pioneer’s holders of Pioneer Restricted Securities having the right to exchange their Pioneer Restricted Securities for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the completion of a Liquidity Event; (I) in the case of the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder being an entity, to the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder’s officers or directors, any affiliate or family member of any of the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder’s officers or directors; or (J) to the Company in connection with the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder’s contribution of Restricted Securities to the Acorns Customer Loyalty Share Program. To the extent the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder is the Sponsor, it is agreed the term “Permitted Transfer” shall be deemed to include a Transfer made by any members or partners of the Sponsor or their affiliates, any affiliates of the Sponsor, or any employees of such affiliates.

(b) If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and Pioneer shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, Pioneer may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Supporting Sponsor Shareholder (and Permitted Transferees thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

(c) During the Lock-Up Period, each certificate evidencing any Restricted Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form, in addition to any other applicable legends:

(g) If any Supporting Company Shareholder (as defined below) or Supporting Sponsor Shareholder is granted a release or waiver from or termination of any lock-up agreement (such holder, a “Triggering Holder”) executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Combination Agreement prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, then the Company and Pioneer (i) shall provide written notice to the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder of the terms of such release, waiver or termination and (ii) shall be deemed to have granted a release, waiver or termination of this Agreement in respect of the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder’s obligations hereunder on the same terms and on a pro-rata basis with respect to such number of Restricted Securities (rounded down to the nearest whole security) equal to the product of (i) the total percentage of Restricted Securities (as defined in the Triggering Holder’s lock-up agreement) held by the Triggering Holder immediately following the consummation of the Closing that are being released from the applicable lock-up agreement multiplied by (ii) the total number of Restricted Securities held by the Supporting Sponsor Shareholder immediately following the consummation of the Closing.
