All capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 13.8 of the Agreement, SPAC and the Company (the “Parties”) may amend the Agreement by executing an amendment in writing; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement as provided below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the promises and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
| 1. | Amendments to the Agreement. |
| a. | Section 14.1 Definitions. |
| i. | Each of the defined terms listed below is hereby amended and restated as follows: |
“Company Consideration Shares” means that number of PubCo Ordinary Shares determined by dividing (x) $200,000,000 by (y) the Redemption Price.
“Earnout Period” means the time period beginning on the date that is the 6-month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending on June 30, 2028.
“EBITDA” means, with respect to a particular fiscal quarter, PubCo’s consolidated net income for such fiscal quarter, calculated in accordance with IFRS, before giving effect to interest expense, taxes on income, depreciation or amortization as adjusted to (a) exclude any non-recuring revenue, one-time or extraordinary gains, income, costs or expenses and (b) add back any restructuring costs, charges or expenses, in each case incurred or recognized during such fiscal quarter.
“Eligible Company Equityholders” means each holder of an issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Share, Company Series A1 Preferred Share or Company Warrant as of the date of this Amendment, in each case as set forth on Schedule 2.10(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided however that “Eligible Company Equity holders” shall not include any holders of Company Series A1 Preferred Shares or Company Warrants that are considered PIPE Investors.
“Ordinary Share Price” means the share price equal to the closing sale price of one PubCo Ordinary Share as reported on Nasdaq (or the exchange on which the PubCo Ordinary Shares are then listed) for a period of at least 30 Trading Days out of 45 consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date of determination, in each case subject to Equitable Adjustment.
“Triggering Event I” shall occur if, on or prior to the quarter ending December 31, 2027, the Revenue Run Rate equals or exceeds $80,000,000.
“Triggering Event II” shall occur if, on or prior to the quarter ending December 31, 2027, the EBITDA Run Rate equals or exceeds $30,000,000.

| ii. | Each of the terms listed below is hereby added to Section 14.1 as follows: |
“EBITDA Run Rate” means the projected EBITDA of PubCo for a 4-quarter period, which shall be calculated by multiplying the aggregate actual quarterly EBITDA publicly reported by PubCo for the Subject Quarters by two. By way of example, assuming EBITDA Run Rate is calculated immediately following the end of the quarter ending December 31, 2027, EBITDA Run Rate would be calculated by multiplying (a) the sum of the actual quarterly EBITDA publicly reported by Pubco for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027 and the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027, by (b) two.
“Revenue Run Rate” means the projected Revenue of PubCo for a 4-quarter period, which shall be calculated by multiplying the aggregate actual quarterly Revenue publicly reported by PubCo for the Subject Quarters by two. By way of example, assuming Revenue Run Rate is calculated immediately following the end of the quarter ending December 31, 2027, Revenue Run Rate would be calculated by multiplying (a) the sum of the actual quarterly Revenue publicly reported by Pubco for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2027 and the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027, by (b) two.
“Subject Quarters” means, for purposes of calculating Revenue Run Rate and EBITDA Run Rate, the two most recently completed fiscal quarters of Pubco as of the date of calculation of Revenue Run Rate or EBITDA Run Rate, as applicable.
