As of September 30, 2025, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 6,335,000 shares of the Issuer's Class A and Class B ordinary shares, representing 21.5% of the total shares of Class A and Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. The Class B ordinary shares are automatically convertible into the Issuer's Class A ordinary shares at the time of the Issuer's initial business combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as more fully described under the heading "Description of Securities - Founder Shares" in the Issuer's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-284671).

Rithm Acquisition Sponsor LLC is the record holder of such ordinary shares, and Rithm Acquisition Sponsor LLC is controlled by Rithm Capital Corp., an affiliate of the Issuer, and Michael Nierenberg as a result of his role as chief executive officer, chairman of the board and president of Rithm Capital Corp. As a result, each of Rithm Acquisition Sponsor LLC, Rithm Capital Corp. and Mr. Nierenberg may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Class A and Class B ordinary shares held by Rithm Acquisition Sponsor LLC, but each disclaims such beneficial ownership except to the extent of such person's or entity's pecuniary interest therein.</amountBeneficiallyOwned>
