Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement

 

Holders of the Alignment Shares and Private Placement GRAIL securities, including from time to time the Public Shares, Private Placement GRAIL securities that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, any Private Placement Shares or Private Placement Warrants included in Private Placement GRAIL securities, any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of Alignment Shares or upon exercise of warrants they may hold or acquire, and any warrants, including Private Placement Warrants, that they may hold or acquire, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement signed in connection with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain piggyback registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

 

Further, the Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial Business Combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for appointment to the Company’s board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.

 

Underwriting Agreement

 

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 5,250,000 additional GRAIL securities to cover over-allotments, if any, at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On May 1, 2026, the underwriters elected to fully exercise their over-allotment option to purchase an additional 5,250,000 GRAIL securities at a price of $10.00 per GRAIL security.

 

The underwriters were entitled to a cash underwriting discount of $8,050,000 (2.00% of the gross proceeds of the GRAIL securities sold in the Initial Public Offering) which was paid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters reimbursed certain of the Company’s offering expenses amounting to $1,000,000.

 

Additionally, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.50% of the gross proceeds of the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account, or $14,087,500 in the aggregate, upon the completion of the Company’s Initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, or the conflict in the Middle East and Iran. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the military intervention by the U.S. in Venezuela, and the conflict in the Middle East involving Iran and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

 

Any of the above-mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas conflict, the U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, and an escalating conflict in the Middle East and Iran, and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial Business Combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial Business Combination.
