| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. These Class A ordinary shares were acquired by Cantor EP Holdings, LLC (the "Sponsor") pursuant to a private placement shares purchase agreement, dated August 12, 2024, by and between the Sponsor and the issuer. |
| 2. As described in the issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280230) under the heading "Description of Securities--Founder Shares", the Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the issuer's initial business combination, or at any time and from time to time at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and certain anti-dilution rights. |
| 3. As contemplated in connection with the initial public offering of the issuer, 375,000 Class B ordinary shares were surrendered by the Sponsor to the issuer for no consideration and cancelled because the underwriters' over-allotment option will not be exercised by the underwriters. |
| 4. The Sponsor is the record holder of the shares reported herein. Cantor Fitzgerald, L.P. ("Cantor") is the sole member of the Sponsor. CF Group Management, Inc. ("CFGM") is the managing general partner of Cantor. Mr. Lutnick, the issuer's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of CFGM and the trustee of the sole stockholder of CFGM. As such, each of Cantor, CFGM and Mr. Lutnick may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the shares directly held by the Sponsor. Each such entity or person disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported shares other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest they may have therein, directly or indirectly. |
