(i) Each share of JATT Redeeming Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist as of immediately prior to the Closing and shall thereafter represent only the right to be paid a pro rata share of the JATT Shareholder Redemption Amount in accordance with the Governing Documents of JATT. For the avoidance of doubt, consistent with Section 8.5 of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of JATT, each share of JATT Redeeming Stock shall not be entitled to participate in the profits of JATT in respect of the period after the date specified as the date of redemption of such JATT Redeeming Stock in the applicable redemption notice, which shall be no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.

(j) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, JATT Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who is entitled to demand and has properly exercised appraisal rights of such shares in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Act (such JATT Shares being referred to collectively as the “JATT Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect or otherwise waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s appraisal rights under the Cayman Act with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the consideration described in Section 2.1(g) above, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 238 of the Cayman Act; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, waives, withdraws, or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 238 of the Cayman Act, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 238 of the Cayman Act, such JATT Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the consideration described in Section 2.1(g) above without interest thereon, upon transfer of such shares. From and after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, JATT shall provide the Company written notice as promptly as practicable following receipt of any demands received by JATT for appraisal of JATT Shares, any waiver or withdrawal of any such demand, and any other demand, notice, or instrument delivered to JATT prior to the Effective Time that relates to such demand. Except with the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed), JATT shall not make any payment with respect to, or settle, or offer to settle, any such demands from after the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing or termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(k) From and after the Effective Time, each JATT Shareholder’s certificates (the “Certificates”), if any, evidencing ownership of the JATT Shares and the JATT Shares held in book-entry form issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall each cease to have any rights with respect to such JATT Shares except as otherwise expressly provided for herein or under applicable Law.

(l) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the outstanding Equity Securities of the Company or JATT shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event shall have occurred, then any number, value (including dollar value) or amount contained herein which is based upon the number of Equity Securities of the Company or JATT, as applicable, will be appropriately adjusted to provide to the relevant holders the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that this Section 2.1(l) shall not (i) be construed to permit JATT, Merger Sub or the Company to take any action with respect to their respective securities that is prohibited by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (ii) apply to any other transactions expressly contemplated by this Agreement or any Ancillary Document to the extent consummate in accordance with the terms contemplated by this Agreement or such Ancillary Document, as applicable.

All shares in book-entry form representing the portion of the PubCo Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(g) deposited with the Exchange Agent shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Exchange Fund”.

(c) Each JATT Shareholder holding a Certificate whose JATT Shares have been converted into the right to receive a number of the PubCo Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(g) shall be entitled to receive the number of PubCo Shares to which he, she or it is entitled upon the surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof). Each JATT Shareholder holding JATT Shares in book-entry form whose JATT Shares have been converted into the right to receive a number of PubCo Shares pursuant to Section 2.1(g) shall automatically be entitled to receive the number of PubCo Shares to which he, she or it is entitled.

From and after the Effective Time, until surrendered or transferred, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.5, each JATT Share (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the JATT Shares cancelled and extinguished pursuant to Section 2.1(h)) shall solely represent the right to receive the corresponding PubCo Shares issuable with respect thereto pursuant to Section 2.1(g).

(g) At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of JATT shall be closed and there shall be no transfers of JATT Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(h) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains unclaimed by a JATT Shareholder twelve (12) months following the Closing Date shall be delivered to PubCo or as otherwise instructed by PubCo, and any JATT Shareholder who has not exchanged his, her or its JATT Shares, as the case may be, for the applicable portion of the PubCo Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(g), in accordance with this Section 2.5, prior to that time, shall thereafter look only to PubCo for the issuance of the applicable portion of the PubCo Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(g), without any interest thereon. None of the Surviving Company, PubCo, or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be liable to any Person in respect of any consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, unclaimed property, escheat, or similar Law. Any portion of the PubCo Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.1(g) remaining unclaimed by the JATT Shareholder immediately prior to such time when the amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the property of PubCo free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

Section 2.6 Withholding. JATT, the Company, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the case of any such withholding payable in PubCo Shares, PubCo or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be permitted to sell such portion of the PubCo Shares otherwise issuable to such Person as is necessary to generate cash to satisfy such withholding obligations. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to eliminate or reduce any such deduction or withholding (including through the request and provision of any statements, forms or other documents to reduce or eliminate any such deduction or withholding).

Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any of the transactions contemplated thereby, (A) any claim that such Party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 8.16 for any reason, (B) that such Party or such Party’s property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action in any such court is brought against such Party in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding, claim, demand, action or cause of action against such Party is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced against such Party in or by such courts.

Section 8.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the

 

72


Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 8.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of JATT, filed with the SEC (File No. 333-294294) on April 17, 2026 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that JATT has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of JATT’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by JATT’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and JATT may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of JATT entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company nor any of their respective Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between JATT or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company or any of its respective Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company (on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives) hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with JATT or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with JATT or its Affiliates).

All such communications shall remain privileged after the Closing and the privilege and the expectation of client confidence relating thereto shall

 

73


belong solely to the Sponsor shall be controlled by the Sponsor and shall not pass to or be claimed by JATT or the Surviving Company; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver by JATT or any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and its Affiliates) of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any such communications to any third party.

(b) The Parties agree that, notwithstanding the fact that Cooley LLP (“Cooley”) and Maples and Calder (Cayman) LLP (“Maples”) may have, prior to Closing, jointly represented the Company and/or its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has also represented the Company and/or its Affiliates in connection with matters other than the transaction that is the subject of this Agreement, Cooley and/or Maples will be permitted in the future, after Closing, to represent the Company or its Affiliates in connection with matters in which such Persons are adverse to JATT or any of its Affiliates, including any disputes arising out of, or related to, this Agreement.
