The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Issuer's initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder, on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments. Mr. Claudius Tsang has an economic interest in 2,459,957 Class B ordinary shares (of which 500,000 Class B ordinary shares are subject to forfeiture) through his ownership of equity in A SPAC IV (Holdings) Corp. (the "Sponsor"), which will only be issued upon the consummation of the Issuer's initial business combination. |
2. Shares held by the Sponsor. Mr. Tsang is the sole director of the Sponsor and has voting and dispositive power over the Class B ordinary shares owned by the Sponsor. Mr. Tsang disclaims any beneficial ownership of the reported shares other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest he may have therein, directly or indirectly. |
