On October 23, 2020, Quantum Ventures LLC (“Quantum Ventures”) purchased 4,312,500 founder shares (“Founder Shares”) from Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corporation (“Quantum”), for $25,000, or $0.006 per share. In connection with Quantum’s initial public offering, Quantum transferred 40,833 Founder Shares to the Reporting Person.

In connection with the closing of the initial public offering on February 9, 2021, Quantum Ventures purchased from Quantum an aggregate of 4,922,500 private placement warrants, at a price of $1.00 per warrant. Each private placement warrant is exercisable for one share of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share.

The additional securities of the Issuer were acquired by the Reporting Person upon certain distributions by Quantum Ventures in connection with the closing of a business combination, as described in further detail in Item 4 of this Statement which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Person acquired the shares of Common Stock reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person solely for investment purposes and in connection with the transaction described below.

As previously disclosed, on February 9, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), the Issuer (formerly known as Calculator New Pubco, Inc.) consummated the previously announced transactions pursuant to that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated November 16, 2022 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, Quantum FinTech Acquisition Corporation (“Quantum”), Calculator Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer , Calculator Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer , AtlasClear, Inc., a Wyoming corporation (“AtlasClear”), Atlas FinTech Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and Robert McBey. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), the Issuer changed its name from “Calculator New Pubco, Inc.” to “AtlasClear Holdings, Inc.”

In connection with the Closing, each share of Quantum’s common stock (“Quantum Common Stock”) that was outstanding and had not been redeemed, including the Founder Shares, was converted into one share of Common Stock. Each outstanding public warrant to purchase Quantum Common Stock became a warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock. Each outstanding warrant to purchase Quantum Common Stock initially issued in a private placement in connection with Quantum’s initial public offering became a private placement warrant of the Issuer to purchase one share of Common Stock (“Private Placement Warrant”).

In connection with the Closing, Quantum Ventures effected distributions of shares of Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants to its members, including the Reporting Person, and certain other persons. As a result, the Reporting Person received (i) 432,734 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 703,140 Private Placement Warrants which became exercisable for 703,140 shares of Common Stock upon consummation of the Business Combination.

(a) - (b)

The Reporting Person has beneficial ownership of 1,135,874 shares of Common Stock, or 8.6% of the Common Stock of the Issuer based upon 12,455,157 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of April 15, 2024, and taking into account the Common Stock underlying the 703,140 Private Placement Warrants beneficially owned by Quantum Ventures.

The Reporting Person has sole voting and sole dispositive power with respect to the 1,135,874 shares of Common Stock he beneficially owns.

(c)           The information set forth in Item 4 of this Statement is incorporated herein by reference.

(d)           To the knowledge of the Reporting Person, only the Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock of the Issuer reported by this Statement.

On November 16, 2022, the Issuer, the AtlasClear stockholders and certain holders of Quantum’s Founder Shares entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement which became effective as of the Closing, pursuant to which, among other things, the holders of Founder Shares agreed not to transfer (a) any shares of common stock beneficially owned or owned of record by such holder prior to the initial public offering (the “Escrow Shares”), other than as provided in the escrow agreement, dated February 4, 2021, (the “Escrow Agreement”) by and among Quantum, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) and the holders. In connection with the Closing, the Issuer instructed the Escrow Agent to release from escrow 4,000,000 of Quantum’s Founder Shares that were held in escrow (consisting of 949,084 Founder Shares owned by Chardan Quantum, LLC and 3,050,916 Founder Shares owned by Quantum Ventures, LLC), as contemplated by the amendment to such Escrow Agreement disclosed on October 31, 2023.
