Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
January 13, 2025, Bowen Acquisition Corp, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”), entered into Prepaid Forward
Purchase Agreement (the “FPA”) by and among the Company, Qianzhi Group Holding (Cayman) Limited, an exempted company incorporated
with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“NewCo”), and the funds, accounts and/other investment vehicles managed by
Harraden Circle Investments, LLC signatory thereto, which is an unaffiliated shareholder of the Company (collectively, the “Purchaser”).
The FPA will not impact the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved but would potentially maximize the amount of funds
retained by the Company following consummation of the Business Combination (defined below).
In
accordance with the FPA and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Purchaser shall purchase from holders of ordinary
shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (“Company Ordinary Share”) that have elected to redeem their Company
Ordinary Shares in connection with the contemplated business combination (“Business Combination”) between the Company, NewCo
and Shenzhen Qianzhi BioTech Company Limited (“Qianzhi”), up to the lesser of (a) 550,000 Company Ordinary Shares and (b)
such number of Company Ordinary Shares as shall, following the Business Combination between the Company, NewCo and Qianzhi, not to exceed
9.9% of the total number of Company Ordinary Shares to be outstanding (such shares to be purchased, the “Forward Purchase Shares”)
from public shareholders for a price no greater than the redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) per share to be paid to
redeeming public shareholders of the Company. The current Redemption Price payable to redeeming public shareholders is approximately
$10.991 per share. Any Company Ordinary Shares purchased pursuant to the FPA will not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination.
Upon
the Business Combination closing, 50,000 Purchased Shares shall be deemed to be “Commitment Shares” and the remaining Forward
Purchased Shares shall be deemed to be “Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares”.
No
later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Business Combination closing and (b) the date any assets from the Company’s
trust account are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, the Company and NewCo shall cause Purchaser to be paid directly,
out of the funds held in the Company’s trust account, a cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the number of
Forward Purchased Shares multiplied by the Redemption Price.
Upon
the subsequent sale of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will remit the Reference Price (as defined
below) per share to the Company. On the date that is twelve months after the closing of the Business Combination (the “Maturity
Date”), any Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares not sold by the Purchaser will be returned by the Purchaser to the Company and any
remaining amounts in respect of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares will be retained by Purchaser. Prior to the Maturity Date, the Purchaser
may sell Commitment Shares at any price in Purchaser’s sole discretion.
The
Purchaser has agreed that until the Maturity Date, the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares may not be sold for a price less than the Reference
Price. The “Reference Price” will initially equal the Redemption Price and may, at the Company’s option, be reduced
(but never increased) at any time to the lowest daily volume weighted average price of the Company Ordinary Shares for the preceding
10 trading days.
As
of the date of the FPA, an aggregate of 6,771,031 shares have been submitted for redemption in connection with the Business Combination.
The
foregoing description of the FPA is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the FPA, a copy of
which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands (“NewCo” or the
“Company”), and the funds, accounts, and/other investment vehicles managed by Harraden Circle Investments,
LLC signatory hereto (collectively, the “Purchaser”) (collectively the “Parties”).
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined
below).
Recitals
WHEREAS,
Parent was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization
or similar business combination with a business;
WHEREAS,
on January 18, 2024, Parent entered into a Plan of Reorganization (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to
time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), among (i) Parent, (ii) Bowen Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands
exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), (iii) Shenzhen Qianzhi BioTech
Company Limited, a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China, and (iv) the Company;
WHEREAS,
in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, subject to the terms and following the satisfaction of certain conditions set
forth therein, the following transactions are expected to occur (among others detailed in the Business Combination Agreement): Merger
Sub shall merge with and into NewCo, with NewCo being the surviving company of the merger and becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
(the “Business Combination”);
WHEREAS,
the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which prior to or concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination
(the “Business Combination Closing”), the Purchaser shall purchase up to 550,000 Parent Ordinary Shares
or such number of Parent Ordinary Shares as shall, following the Business Combination, when combined with all other shares of Parent
Ordinary Shares owned by the Purchaser and its affiliates, not exceed 9.9% (the “Ownership Limit”) of
the total number of shares of Parent Ordinary Shares to be outstanding after the Business Combination Closing (the shares to be purchased,
the “Forward Purchase Shares,” and such amount of shares, the “Maximum Amount of Parent
Ordinary Shares”) for an amount per share no higher than the trust redemption price (“Redemption Price”);
and
WHEREAS,
to the extent that the Purchaser is unable to acquire the Maximum Amount of Parent Ordinary Shares prior to or concurrently with the
Business Combination Closing, the Parties wish to enter into one or more subscription agreements in the form attached hereto as Annex
A (the “Subscription Agreement”)1 from time to time for the purchase by the Purchaser from
NewCo after the Business Combination Closing, subject to the Ownership Limit and at Purchaser’s option, of a number of shares of
Parent Ordinary Shares equal to 550,000, less the number of Forward Purchase Shares purchased prior to or concurrently with the Business
Combination Closing (the “Additional Shares”).
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, representations, warranties and the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
Agreement
1.
Sale and Purchase of Shares.
(a)
Forward Purchase Shares.
Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Purchaser shall purchase the Forward Purchase Shares from Parent shareholders who have
previously elected to have such Parent Ordinary Shares redeemed and have effectively reversed its redemption election, for no greater
than the Redemption Price indicated by Parent’s periodic report most recently filed with the SEC (the “Prepaid Forward
Purchase Price”). The Forward Purchase Shares purchased prior to or concurrently with the Business Combination will
be “Purchased Shares.” Of the Purchased Shares, 50,000 of such shares will be deemed “Commitment
Shares,” and the remaining number of Purchased Shares will be deemed “Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares.”.
Purchaser shall deliver to Parent written notice no later than one (1) business day on which Nasdaq and commercial banks in the City
of New York are open for business following the closing of the Business Combination detailing the number of Purchased Shares (the “Forward
Closing”).
(i) No
later than the earlier of (a) one business day after the Business Combination closing and (b) the date any assets from the Trust Fund
(as defined below) are disbursed in connection with the Business Combination, Parent and NewCo shall cause Purchaser to be paid directly,
out of the funds so disbursed, a cash amount (the “Prepayment Amount”) equal to the number of Purchased
Shares multiplied by the Redemption Price.
1
NTD: The Subscription Agreement will provide for registration rights.
(ii)
Upon the sale of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares by the Purchaser, the Purchaser will remit the Reference Price (as defined below)
per share to Parent, subject to adjustments and as provided in Section 1(a)(iii). On the date that is twelve (12) months after
the Business Combination Closing (the “Maturity Date”), any Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares not sold
by the Purchaser will be returned to Parent and any remaining amounts in respect of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares will be retained
by Purchaser, less any amounts still owed to Parent from sales effected prior to the Maturity Date. Should all Prepaid Forward Purchase
Shares be sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Maturity Date shall be accelerated to the date one day after the full settlement
of such sales.
(iii)
Until the Maturity Date, the Purchaser agrees to the following sales conditions for the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares: (A) on a daily
basis, all sales must either (I) equal or exceed the “Reference Price,” where the Reference Price will initially equal the
Redemption Price and (II) at Parent’s option, may be reduced (but never increased) at any time to the lowest daily volume-weighted
average price over the preceding ten (10) trading days. Any reset of the Reference Price shall be accomplished through a written notice
from Parent to Purchaser pursuant to Section 8(a). Prior to the Maturity Date, the Purchaser may sell Commitment Shares in Purchaser’s
sole discretion. For the avoidance of doubt the Commitment Shares may be sold at any price at the Purchaser’s sole discretion.
(iv)
In the event that the Purchaser owns in excess of the Ownership Limit at the Business Combination Closing, Purchaser shall return to
Parent a number of Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares such that, after the return of such Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares, it will own no
more than the Ownership Limit after giving effect to the Business Combination. Purchaser shall retain the Redemption Price associated
with any Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares returned pursuant to this paragraph.
(v)
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall make no purchases of Forward Purchase Shares in the open market on or following the date
that shareholders of Parent shall no longer be entitled to have their Parent Ordinary Shares redeemed in connection with the Business
Combination (the “Redemption Deadline”), provided that Purchaser may effect purchases of Parent Ordinary
Shares after the Redemption Deadline from a shareholder who has previously elected to have such Parent Ordinary Shares redeemed and has
effectively reversed its redemption election, provided that the amount paid per Parent Ordinary Share is no higher than the Redemption
Price.
(b)
Additional Shares.
(i)
To the extent that the Purchaser is unable to acquire the Maximum Amount of Parent Ordinary Shares prior to or concurrently with the
Business Combination Closing due to the Ownership Limit, the Purchaser may, from time to time at Purchaser’s option, purchase a
number of Parent Ordinary Shares equal to 550,000, less the number of Purchased Shares purchased prior to or concurrently with the Business
Combination Closing, at the Redemption Price, pursuant to one or more subscription agreements to be entered into with Parent; provided,
however, that the Purchaser shall not purchase an amount of Additional Shares such that, following the issuance of Additional Shares,
its ownership would exceed the Ownership Limit unless the Purchaser in its sole discretion waives such Ownership Limit. For the avoidance
of doubt, any Additional Shares purchased by the Purchaser will be deemed to be Purchased Shares for all purposes under this Agreement.
(ii)
The Prepayment Amount due to the Purchaser with respect to the Additional Shares shall be netted against the purchase price for the Additional
Shares, with the Purchaser being able to reduce the purchase price for the Additional Shares by the Prepayment Amount.
2. Representations
and Warranties of the Purchaser. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows, as of the date hereof:

such consent will be obtained prior to issuing the Purchased Shares.
(e) SEC

(d) Trust
Fund.
(i) The
Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that Parent has established a trust account for the benefit of its public stockholders
(the “Trust Fund”). The Purchaser, for itself and its affiliates, hereby agrees that it has no right,

by it.
(ii) The
Purchaser hereby agrees that it shall have no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”)

of Parent held by it. If the Purchaser has any Claim against Parent under this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pursue such Claim solely
against Parent and its assets outside the Trust Fund and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Fund, except for redemption
and liquidation rights, if any, the Purchaser may have in respect of any public shares of Parent held by it.
5. Additional

any subsequent disclosures that are substantially similar to prior disclosures by Parent that were reviewed by Purchaser.
(b) Purchaser

has agreed not to vote the shares it purchases pursuant to this Agreement at any vote of Parent’s stockholders in connection with
the Business Combination. This Agreement has been structured, and all activity in connection with such agreement has been undertaken,
to comply with Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation No. 166.01.
(d)
The Purchaser waives all rights to vote such Purchased Shares until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination and the
termination of the Business Combination Agreement. NewCo hereby agrees and acknowledges that, prior to the consummation of the Business
Combination, the Purchaser shall not be deemed an “affiliate” of Parent within the meaning of Rule 144.

6.
Termination.
(a)
This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Forward Closing:
(i) by
mutual written consent of Parent, NewCo and the Purchaser;
(ii) by
Purchaser, if there is any amendment to the Business Combination Agreement to which the Purchaser has not consented and which the Purchaser
reasonably determines affects the value of the Forward Purchase Shares;
(iii) automatically
if the Parties cannot reach an agreement under Section 5(e);
(iv) automatically
if the Business Combination is not consummated by the one-year anniversary of the date of this Agreement; and
(v)
automatically if it is determined by Parent, in its sole and reasonable discretion, that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
would result in a liability being recorded on the balance sheet of Parent or otherwise adversely impair the ability of Parent to satisfy
the requirements of SEC Rule 419 and consummate the Business Combination.
(b) In
the event of a termination of this Agreement prior to the Business Combination Closing pursuant to Section 6(a)(ii), the Prepaid
Forward Purchase Price, if paid, and all Purchaser’s funds paid in connection herewith shall be returned to the Purchaser on the
trust redemption or liquidation date and Purchaser shall return all Forward Purchase Shares. In the event of a termination of this Agreement
following the Business Combination Closing, the Purchaser shall return the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares to Parent and any remaining
amounts in respect of the Prepaid Forward Purchase Shares will be retained by Purchaser, less any amounts still owed to Parent from sales
effected prior to the Maturity Date, and, in either case, thereafter this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and have no
effect, without any liability on the part of the Purchaser, Parent or NewCo or their respective directors, officers, employees, partners,
managers, members, or stockholders, and all rights and obligations of each Party shall cease; provided, however, that nothing
contained in this Section 6 shall relieve any Party from liabilities or damages arising out of any fraud or willful breach by

(h) Headings.
The section headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect in any way the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement.
(i) Governing
Law. This Agreement, the entire relationship of the Parties, and any dispute between the Parties (whether grounded in contract, tort,
statute, law or equity) shall be governed by, construed in accordance with, and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to its choice of laws principles.
(j) Jurisdiction.
The Parties (i) hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of New York located in New

that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced
in or by such court.
(k) WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN CONNECTION WITH ANY LITIGATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
(l) Amendments.
This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived as to any particular provision except with the prior written consent of the
Parties.
(m) Severability.
The provisions of this Agreement will be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision will not affect
the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof; provided, that if any provision of this Agreement, as applied to any Party
or to any circumstance, is adjudged by a governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator not to be enforceable in accordance with its
terms, the Parties agree that the governmental authority, arbitrator, or mediator making such determination will have the power to modify
the provision in a manner consistent with its objectives should that it is enforceable, and to delete specific words or phrases, and
in its reduced form, such provision will then be enforceable and will be enforced.
(n) Expenses.
NewCo and Parent shall reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable and documented legal fees incurred in connection with the preparation,
execution and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herby upon the Business Combination
Closing. Parent and NewCo also agree to reimburse the Purchaser for any commissions payable to acquire the Purchased Shares upon the
Business Combination Closing. Parent shall be responsible for the fees of its transfer agent; stamp taxes and all of The Depository Trust
Company’s fees associated with the issuance of the Forward Purchase Shares.
(o) Construction.
The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof will
arise favoring or disfavoring any Party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Any reference to any federal, state,
local, or foreign law will be deemed also to refer to law as amended and all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the
context requires otherwise. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including”
will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be
construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless
the context otherwise requires. The words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,”
“hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to
any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained
herein will have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any
respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the
relative levels of specificity) which such Party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such Party is in breach
of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.
(p) Waiver.
No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not,
may be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect
in any way any rights arising because of any prior or subsequent occurrence.
(q) Specific
Performance. The Purchaser agrees that irreparable damage may occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed
by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof and that Parent and NewCo shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms
hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.
(r) Counterparts;
Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be signed in multiple counterparts and each counterpart shall represent a fully executed
original as if signed by the Parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic
format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
