There were 4,750,485 Ordinary Shares present at said meeting in person or represented by proxy, which is 93.61% of the total outstanding shares, thereby constituting a quorum. Summarized below are the results of the matters voted on at the Meeting.

Articles Amendment

Shareholders approved the proposal to approve, by way of special resolution, an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, to extend the date by which the Company would be permitted to consummate an initial business combination from November 2, 2024 to November 2, 2025, as well as to permit the Company’s board of directors, in its sole discretion, to elect to wind up the Company’s operations on an earlier date.

Adoption of the Articles Extension Proposal required approval of a majority of at least two-thirds of Cactus’ shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or by proxy at the Meeting. The voting results were as follows:
