to the Company having filed a current report on Form 8-K containing an audited balance sheet
reflecting the Company’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the IPO with the SEC and

| | |
| (b) | no
person other than the Member shall be recognised by the Company as having any right in a
Share. |
Power
to vary class rights

a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights attaching to a class of Shares may
only be varied if one of the following applies: |
| (a) | the
Members holding two thirds of the issued Shares of that class consent in writing to the variation;
or |
| | |
| (b) | the
variation is made with the sanction of a Special Resolution passed at a separate general

poll. |
Effect
of new Share issue on existing class rights

the terms on which a class of Shares was issued state otherwise, the rights conferred on
the Member holding Shares of any class shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or
issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with the existing Shares of that class.

Capital
contributions without issue of further Shares
3.12 | With
the consent of a Member, the directors may accept a voluntary contribution to the capital
of the Company from that Member without issuing Shares in consideration for that contribution.

| (a) | It
shall be treated as if it were a share premium. |
| | |
| (b) | Unless
the Member agrees otherwise: |
| (i) | if
the Member holds Shares in a single class of Shares, it shall be credited to the share premium
account for that class of Shares; |
| (ii) | if
the Member holds Shares of more than one class, it shall be credited rateably to the share
premium accounts for those classes of Shares (in the proportion that the sum of the issue
prices for each class of Shares that the Member holds bears to the total issue prices for
all classes of Shares that the Member holds). |
| (c) | It
shall be subject to the provisions of the Act and these Articles applicable to share premiums. |
No
bearer Shares or warrants

Company shall not issue Shares or warrants to bearers. |

that the Company purchases, redeems or acquires by way of surrender in accordance with the
Act shall be held as Treasury Shares and not treated as cancelled if: |

| | |
| (b) | the
relevant provisions of the Memorandum and Articles and the Act are otherwise complied with. |
Rights
attaching to Treasury Shares and related matters

of the Company’s assets (including any distribution of assets to members on a winding
up) may be made to the Company in respect of a Treasury Share. |
| |
3.16 | The
Company shall be entered in the Register as the holder of the Treasury Shares. However: |
| (a) | the
Company shall not be treated as a member for any purpose and shall not exercise any right
in respect of the Treasury Shares, and any purported exercise of such a right shall be void; |
| | |
| (b) | a
Treasury Share shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting of the Company
and shall not be counted in determining the total number of issued shares at any given time,
whether for the purposes of these Articles or the Act. |
3.17 | Nothing
in the preceding Article prevents an allotment of Shares as fully paid bonus shares in respect
of a Treasury Share and Shares allotted as fully paid bonus shares in respect of a Treasury
Share shall be treated as Treasury Shares. |
| |

Shares may be disposed of by the Company in accordance with the Act and otherwise on such
terms and conditions as the directors determine. |

| | |
| (d) | whether
the Preference Shares or such series shall be subject to redemption by the Company, and,
if so, the times, prices and other conditions of such redemption; |

the Preference Shares of such series shall be subject to the operation of a retirement or
sinking fund and, if so, the extent to and manner in which any such retirement or sinking
fund shall be applied to the purchase or redemption of the Preferred Shares of such series
for retirement or other corporate purposes and the terms and provisions relative to the operation
of the retirement or sinking fund; |

| | |
| (b) | the

name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the Register of Members as the holder
of those Shares; and |

person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate for those Shares. |
Despite
this, that person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the
Company in respect of those Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment
at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The directors may waive payment wholly
or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received
on their disposal.
Application
of proceeds of sale

of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to
the person whose Shares have been sold: |
| (a) | if
no certificate for the Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or |
| | |
| (b) | if
a certificate for the Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate
for cancellation |
but,
in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Shares before the sale.
7. | Calls

moneys unpaid on their Shares including any premium. The call may provide for payment to

prior to a Business Combination, a notice is issued in respect of a general meeting and the
directors, in their absolute discretion, consider that it is impractical or undesirable for
any reason to hold that general meeting at the place, the day and the hour specified in the
notice calling such general meeting, the directors may postpone the general meeting to another

demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting continuing to transact any business other
than the question on which the poll was demanded. |
| |
13.15 | A
poll shall be taken in such manner as the chairman directs. He may appoint scrutineers (who
need not be Members) and fix a place and time for declaring the result of the poll. If, through
the aid of technology, the meeting is held in more than place, the chairman may appoint scrutineers
in more than place; but if he considers that the poll cannot be effectively monitored at
that meeting, the chairman shall adjourn the holding of the poll to a date, place and time
when that can occur. |
Chairman’s
casting vote
13.16 | If
the votes on a resolution are equal, the chairman may if he wishes exercise a casting vote. |

Ordinary Resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by Ordinary Resolution

less than 48 hours before the meeting is to take place (or such later time as the chairman
of the meeting may determine), notice of the proposed amendment is given to the Company in
writing by a Member entitled to vote at that meeting; and |
| | |
| (b) | the
proposed amendment does not, in the reasonable opinion of the chairman of the meeting, materially
alter the scope of the resolution. |
13.18 | A
Special Resolution to be proposed at a general meeting may be amended by Ordinary Resolution,
if: |
| (a) | the
chairman of the meeting proposes the amendment at the general meeting at which the resolution
is to be proposed, and |
| (b) | the
amendment does not go beyond what the chairman considers is necessary to correct a grammatical
or other non-substantive error in the resolution. |
13.19 | If
the chairman of the meeting, acting in good faith, wrongly decides that an amendment to a
resolution is out of order, the chairman’s error does not invalidate the vote on that
resolution. |

several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of those Members; and |
| (c) | the
signed document or documents is or are delivered to the Company, including, if the Company
so nominates, by delivery of an Electronic Record by Electronic means to the address specified
for that purpose. |
Such
written resolution shall be as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Members entitled to vote duly convened and held.
13.21 | If
a written resolution is described as a Special Resolution or as an Ordinary Resolution, it
has effect accordingly. |
| |
13.22 | The
directors may determine the manner in which written resolutions shall be put to Members.
In particular, they may provide, in the form of any written resolution, for each Member to
indicate, out of the number of votes the Member would have been entitled to cast at a meeting
to consider the resolution, how many votes he wishes to cast in favour of the resolution
and how many against the resolution or to be treated as abstentions. The result of any such
written resolution shall be determined on the same basis as on a poll. |
Sole-member
company
13.23 | If
the Company has only one Member, and the Member records in writing his decision on a question,

14.13 | If
a clearing house (or its nominee(s)), being a corporation, is a Member, it may authorise
such persons as it sees fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or
at any meeting of any class of Members provided that the authorisation shall specify the
number and class of Shares in respect of which each such representative is so authorised.
Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Article shall be deemed to have been
duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same
rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was
the registered holder of such Shares held by the clearing house (or its nominee(s)). |
Member
with mental disorder
14.14 | A
Member in respect of whom an order has been made by any court having jurisdiction (whether

the Member’s authorised attorney; or |

the validity of any appointment of a proxy. |
| |

had actual notice of the revocation. |
How
and when proxy is to be delivered

to the following Articles, the form of appointment of a proxy and any authority under which

the following ways: |
| (a) | In
the case of an instrument in writing, it must be left at or sent by post: |
| (i) | to
the registered office of the Company; or |
| | |
| (ii) | to
such other place specified in the notice convening the meeting or in any form of appointment
of proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting. |
| (b) | If,
pursuant to the notice provisions, a notice may be given to the Company in an Electronic
Record, an Electronic Record of an appointment of a proxy must be sent to the address specified
pursuant to those provisions unless another address for that purpose is specified: |
| (i) | in
the notice convening the meeting; or |
| | |
| (ii) | in
any form of appointment of a proxy sent out by the Company in relation to the meeting; or |
| (iii) | in
any invitation to appoint a proxy issued by the Company in relation to the meeting. |
14.22 | Where
a poll is taken: |
| (a) | if
it is taken more than seven Clear Days after it is demanded, the form of appointment of a
proxy and any accompanying authority (or an Electronic Record of the same) must be delivered
as required under the preceding Article not less than 24 hours before the time appointed
for the taking of the poll; |
| | |
| (b) | but
if it to be taken within seven Clear Days after it was demanded, the form of appointment

14.24 | A
proxy shall have the same voting rights at a meeting or adjourned meeting as the Member would
have had except to the extent that the instrument appointing him limits those rights. Notwithstanding

If a Member votes on any resolution a vote by his proxy on the same resolution, unless in
respect of different Shares, shall be invalid. |
| |
15. | Number
of directors |
Unless
otherwise determined by Ordinary Resolution, the minimum number of directors shall be one and the maximum shall be ten.
16. | Appointment,
disqualification and removal of directors |
No
age limit
16.1 | There
is no age limit for directors save that they must be aged at least 18 years. |
Corporate
directors
16.2 | Unless
prohibited by law, a body corporate may be a director. If a body corporate is a director,
these Articles about representation of corporate Members at general meetings apply, mutatis
mutandis, to these Articles about directors’ meetings. |
No
shareholding qualification
16.3 | Unless
a shareholding qualification for directors is fixed by Ordinary Resolution, no director shall
be required to own Shares as a condition of his appointment. |
Appointment
and removal of directors
16.4 | All
directors shall hold office for a term of two years from appointment. They shall hold office
until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall
have been elected and qualified. A director elected to fill a vacancy resulting from the
death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve for the remainder of the full term
of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until
his successor shall have been elected and qualified. |
16.5 | After
the closing of a Business Combination, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any
person to be a director or may by Ordinary Resolution remove any director. |
| |
16.6 | Without
prejudice to the Company’s power to appoint a person to be a director pursuant to these
Articles, the directors shall have power at any time to appoint any person who is willing
to act as a director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional director. A director elected
to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a director shall serve
for the remainder of the full term of the director whose death, resignation or removal shall
have created such vacancy and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified. |
| |
16.7 | Notwithstanding
the other provisions of these Articles, in any case where, as a result of death, the Company
has no directors and no shareholders, the personal representatives of the last shareholder
to have died have the power, by notice in writing to the Company, to appoint a person to
be a director. For the purpose of this Article: |
| (a) | where
two or more shareholders die in circumstances rendering it uncertain who was the last to
die, a younger shareholder is deemed to have survived an older shareholder; |
| | |
| (b) | if
the last shareholder died leaving a will which disposes of that shareholder’s shares
in the Company (whether by way of specific gift, as part of the residuary estate, or otherwise): |
| (i) | the
expression personal representatives of the last shareholder means: |
| (A) | until
a grant of probate in respect of that will has been obtained from the Grand Court of the
Cayman Islands, all of the executors named in that will who are living at the time the power
of appointment under this Article is exercised; and |
| | |
| (B) | after
such grant of probate has been obtained, only such of those executors who have proved that
will; |
| (ii) | without
derogating from section 3(1) of the Succession Act (Revised), the executors named in that
will may exercise the power of appointment under this Article without first obtaining a grant
of probate. |
16.8 | A
remaining director may appoint a director even though there is not a quorum of directors. |
| |
16.9 | No
appointment can cause the number of directors to exceed the maximum; and any such appointment
shall be invalid. |
| |
16.10 | For
so long as Shares are listed on a Designated Stock Exchange, the directors shall include
at least such number of Independent Directors as Applicable Law or the rules and regulations
of the Designated Stock Exchange require, subject to applicable phase-in rules of the Designated
Stock Exchange. |
Resignation
of directors
16.11 | A
director may at any time resign office by giving to the Company notice in writing or, if
permitted pursuant to the notice provisions, in an Electronic Record delivered in either
case in accordance with those provisions. |
| |
16.12 | Unless
the notice specifies a different date, the director shall be deemed to have resigned on the
date that the notice is delivered to the Company. |
Termination
of the office of director
16.13 | A
director’s office shall be terminated forthwith if: |
| (a) | he
is prohibited by the law of the Islands from acting as a director; or |
| | |
| (b) | he
is made bankrupt or makes an arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or |
| | |
| (c) | in
the opinion of a registered medical practitioner by whom he is being treated he becomes physically
or mentally incapable of acting as a director; or |
| | |
| (d) | he
is made subject to any law relating to mental health or incompetence, whether by court order
or otherwise; |
| | |
| (e) | without
the consent of the other directors, he is absent from meetings of directors for a continuous
period of six months; or |
| | |
| (f) | all
of the other directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed
as a director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other directors at a meeting of
the directors duly convened and held in accordance with these Articles or by a resolution
in writing signed by all of the other directors. |
Appointment
and removal
17.1 | Any
director may appoint any other person, including another director, to act in his place as
an alternate director. No appointment shall take effect until the director has given notice
of the appointment to the other directors. Such notice must be given to each other director
by either of the following methods: |
| (a) | by
notice in writing in accordance with the notice provisions; |
| | |
| (b) | if
the other director has an email address, by emailing to that address a scanned copy of the
notice as a PDF attachment (the PDF version being deemed to be the notice unless Article
32.7 applies), in which event notice shall be taken to be given on the date of receipt by
the recipient in readable form. For the avoidance of doubt, the same email may be sent to
the email address of more than one director (and to the email address of the Company pursuant
to Article 17.4(c)). |
17.2 | Without
limitation to the preceding Article, a director may appoint an alternate for a particular
meeting by sending an email to his fellow directors informing them that they are to take
such email as notice of such appointment for such meeting. Such appointment shall be effective
without the need for a signed notice of appointment or the giving of notice to the Company
in accordance with Article 17.4. |
| |
17.3 | A
director may revoke his appointment of an alternate at any time. No revocation shall take
effect until the director has given notice of the revocation to the other directors. Such
notice must be given by either of the methods specified in Article 17.1. |
| |
17.4 | A
notice of appointment or removal of an alternate director must also be given to the Company
by any of the following methods: |
| (a) | by
notice in writing in accordance with the notice provisions; |
| | |
| (b) | if
the Company has a facsimile address for the time being, by sending by facsimile transmission
to that facsimile address a facsimile copy or, otherwise, by sending by facsimile transmission
to the facsimile address of the Company’s registered office a facsimile copy (in either
case, the facsimile copy being deemed to be the notice unless Article 32.7 applies), in which
event notice shall be taken to be given on the date of an error-free transmission report
from the sender’s fax machine; |
| (c) | if
the Company has an email address for the time being, by emailing to that email address a
scanned copy of the notice as a PDF attachment or, otherwise, by emailing to the email address
provided by the Company’s registered office a scanned copy of the notice as a PDF attachment
(in either case, the PDF version being deemed to be the notice unless Article 32.7 applies),
in which event notice shall be taken to be given on the date of receipt by the Company or
the Company’s registered office (as appropriate) in readable form; or |
| | |
| (d) | if
permitted pursuant to the notice provisions, in some other form of approved Electronic Record
delivered in accordance with those provisions in writing. |
Notices
17.5 | All
notices of meetings of directors shall continue to be given to the appointing director and
not to the alternate. |
Rights
of alternate director
17.6 | An
alternate director shall be entitled to attend and vote at any board meeting or meeting of
a committee of the directors at which the appointing director is not personally present,
and generally to perform all the functions of the appointing director in his absence. |
17.7 | For
the avoidance of doubt: |
| (a) | if
another director has been appointed an alternate director for one or more directors, he shall
be entitled to a separate vote in his own right as a director and in right of each other
director for whom he has been appointed an alternate; and |
| | |
| (b) | if
a person other than a director has been appointed an alternate director for more than one
director, he shall be entitled to a separate vote in right of each director for whom he has
been appointed an alternate. |
17.8 | An
alternate director, however, is not entitled to receive any remuneration from the Company
for services rendered as an alternate director. |
Appointment
ceases when the appointor ceases to be a director
17.9 | An
alternate director shall cease to be an alternate director if the director who appointed
him ceases to be a director. |
Status
of alternate director
17.10 | An
alternate director shall carry out all functions of the director who made the appointment. |
| |
17.11 | Save
where otherwise expressed, an alternate director shall be treated as a director under these
Articles. |
| |
17.12 | An
alternate director is not the agent of the director appointing him. |
| |
17.13 | An
alternate director is not entitled to any remuneration for acting as alternate director. |
Status
of the director making the appointment
17.14 | A
director who has appointed an alternate is not thereby relieved from the duties which he
owes the Company. |
Powers
of directors
18.1 | Subject
to the provisions of the Act, the Memorandum and these Articles, the business of the Company
shall be managed by the directors who may for that purpose exercise all the powers of the
Company. |
18.2 | No
prior act of the directors shall be invalidated by any subsequent alteration of the Memorandum
or these Articles. However, to the extent allowed by the Act, following the consummation
of the IPO Members may by Special Resolution validate any prior or future act of the directors
which would otherwise be in breach of their duties. |

place of the chairman should he ever not be available. |
| |
18.7 | Subject
to the provisions of the Act, the directors may also appoint any person, who need not be
a director: |

executive officers, presidents, a chief financial officer, a treasurer, vice-presidents,
one or more assistant vice-presidents, one or more assistant treasurers and one or more assistant
secretaries), |
for
such period and on such terms, including as to remuneration, as they think fit. In the case of an Officer, that Officer may be given
any title the directors decide.
18.8 | The
Secretary or Officer must consent in writing to holding that office. |
| |
18.9 | A
director, Secretary or other Officer of the Company may not hold the office, or perform the
services, of Auditor. |
Remuneration
18.10 | The
remuneration to be paid to the directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the directors
shall determine, provided that no cash remuneration shall be paid to any director prior to
the consummation of a Business Combination. The directors shall also, whether prior to or
after the consummation of a Business Combination, be entitled to be paid all out of pocket
expenses properly incurred by them in connection with activities on behalf of the Company,
including identifying and consummating a Business Combination. |
18.11 | Remuneration
may take any form and may include arrangements to pay pensions, health insurance, death or
sickness benefits, whether to the director or to any other person connected to or related
to him. |
| |
18.12 | Unless
his fellow directors determine otherwise, a director is not accountable to the Company for
remuneration or other benefits received from any other company which is in the same group
as the Company or which has common shareholdings. |
Disclosure
of information
18.13 | The
directors may release or disclose to a third party any information regarding the affairs
of the Company, including any information contained in the Register of Members relating to
a Member, (and they may authorise any director, Officer or other authorised agent of the
Company to release or disclose to a third party any such information in his possession) if: |
| (a) | the
Company or that person, as the case may be, is lawfully required to do so under the laws
of any jurisdiction to which the Company is subject; or |
| | |
| (b) | such
disclosure is in compliance with the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Company’s
shares are listed; or |
| | |
| (c) | such
disclosure is in accordance with any contract entered into by the Company; or |
| | |
| (d) | the
directors are of the opinion such disclosure would assist or facilitate the Company’s
operations. |
Power
to delegate any of the directors’ powers to a committee
19.1 | The
directors may delegate any of their powers to any committee consisting of one or more persons
who need not be Members (including, without limitation, the Audit Committee, the Compensation
Committee and the Nominating Committee). Persons on the committee may include non-directors
so long as the majority of those persons are directors. |
| |
19.2 | The
delegation may be collateral with, or to the exclusion of, the directors’ own powers. |
| |
19.3 | The
delegation may be on such terms as the directors think fit, including provision for the committee
itself to delegate to a sub-committee; save that any delegation must be capable of being
revoked or altered by the directors at will. |
| |
19.4 | Unless
otherwise permitted by the directors, a committee must follow the procedures prescribed for
the taking of decisions by directors. |
| |
19.5 | The
directors may adopt formal written charters for committees and, if so adopted, shall review
and assess the adequacy of such formal written charters on an annual basis. Each of these
committees shall be empowered to do all things necessary to exercise the rights of such committee
set forth in the Articles and shall have such powers as the directors may delegate pursuant
to the Articles and as required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange,
the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law.
Each of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee, if
established, shall consist of such number of directors as the directors shall from time to
time determine (or such minimum number as may be required from time to time by the rules
and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory
authority or otherwise under Applicable Law). For so long as any class of Shares is listed
on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee shall be made up of such number of Independent
Directors as is required from time to time by the rules and regulations of the rules and
regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the SEC and/or any other competent regulatory
authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. |
Power
to appoint an agent of the Company
19.6 | The
directors may appoint any person, either generally or in respect of any specific matter,
to be the agent of the Company with or without authority for that person to delegate all
or any of that person’s powers. The directors may make that appointment: |
| (a) | by
causing the Company to enter into a power of attorney or agreement; or |
| | |
| (b) | in
any other manner they determine. |
Power
to appoint an attorney or authorised signatory of the Company
19.7 | The
directors may appoint any person, whether nominated directly or indirectly by the directors,
to be the attorney or the authorised signatory of the Company. The appointment may be: |
| (a) | for
any purpose; |
| | |
| (b) | with
the powers, authorities and discretions; |
| | |
| (c) | for
the period; and |
| | |
| (d) | subject
to such conditions |
as
they think fit. The powers, authorities and discretions, however, must not exceed those vested in, or exercisable, by the directors under
these Articles. The directors may do so by power of attorney or any other manner they think fit.
19.8 | Any
power of attorney or other appointment may contain such provision for the protection and
convenience for persons dealing with the attorney or authorised signatory as the directors
think fit. Any power of attorney or other appointment may also authorise the attorney or
authorised signatory to delegate all or any of the powers, authorities and discretions vested
in that person. |
Power
to appoint a proxy
19.9 | Any
director may appoint any other person, including another director, to represent him at any
meeting of the directors. If a director appoints a proxy, then for all purposes the presence
or vote of the proxy shall be deemed to be that of the appointing director. |
| |
19.10 | Articles
17.1 to 17.4 inclusive (relating to the appointment by directors of alternate directors)
apply, mutatis mutandis, to the appointment of proxies by directors. |
| |
19.11 | A
proxy is an agent of the director appointing him and is not an Officer. |
Regulation
of directors’ meetings
20.1 | Subject
to the provisions of these Articles, the directors may regulate their proceedings as they
think fit. |
Calling
meetings
20.2 | Any
director may call a meeting of directors at any time. The Secretary, if any, must call a
meeting of the directors if requested to do so by a director. |
Notice
of meetings
20.3 | Every
director shall be given notice of a meeting, although a director may waive retrospectively
the requirement to be given notice. Notice may be oral. Attendance at a meeting without written
objection shall be deemed to be a waiver of such notice requirement. |
Period
of notice
20.4 | At
least five Clear Days’ notice of a meeting of directors must be given to directors.
A meeting may be convened on shorter notice with the consent of all directors. |
Use
of technology
20.5 | A
director may participate in a meeting of directors through the medium of conference telephone,
video or any other form of communications equipment providing all persons participating in
the meeting are able to hear and speak to each other throughout the meeting. |
20.6 | A
director participating in this way is deemed to be present in person at the meeting. |
Place
of meetings
20.7 | If
all the directors participating in a meeting are not in the same place, they may decide that
the meeting is to be treated as taking place wherever any of them is. |
Quorum
20.8 | The
quorum for the transaction of business at a meeting of directors shall be two unless the
directors fix some other number or unless the Company has only one director. |
Voting
20.9 | A
question which arises at a board meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. If votes
are equal the chairman may, if he wishes, exercise a casting vote. |
Validity
20.10 | Anything
done at a meeting of directors is unaffected by the fact that it is later discovered that
any person was not properly appointed, or had ceased to be a director, or was otherwise not
entitled to vote. |
Recording
of dissent
20.11 | A
director present at a meeting of directors shall be presumed to have assented to any action
taken at that meeting unless: |
| (a) | his
dissent is entered in the minutes of the meeting; or |
| | |
| (b) | he
has filed with the meeting before it is concluded signed dissent from that action; or |
| | |
| (c) | he
has forwarded to the Company as soon as practical following the conclusion of that meeting
signed dissent. |
A
director who votes in favour of an action is not entitled to record his dissent to it.
Written
resolutions
20.12 | The
directors may pass a resolution in writing without holding a meeting if all directors sign
a document or sign several documents in the like form each signed by one or more of those
directors. |
| |
20.13 | Despite
the foregoing, a resolution in writing signed by a validly appointed alternate director or
by a validly appointed proxy need not also be signed by the appointing director. If a written
resolution is signed personally by the appointing director, it need not also be signed by
his alternate or proxy. |
| |
20.14 | Such
written resolution shall be as effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the directors
duly convened and held; and it shall be treated as having been passed on the day and at the

| |
21.4 | If
a director has made disclosure in accordance with the preceding Article, then he shall not,

to be avoided on the ground of any such interest or benefit. |
Notification
of interests

the purposes of the preceding Articles: |
| (a) | a
general notice that a director gives to the other directors that he is to be regarded as
having an interest of the nature and extent specified in the notice in any transaction or
arrangement in which a specified person or class of persons is interested shall be deemed
to be a disclosure that he has an interest in or duty in relation to any such transaction
of the nature and extent so specified; and |
| | |
| (b) | an
interest of which a director has no knowledge and of which it is unreasonable to expect him
to have knowledge shall not be treated as an interest of his. |
Voting
where a director is interested in a matter
21.6 | A
director may vote at a meeting of directors on any resolution concerning a matter in which
that director has an interest or duty, whether directly or indirectly, so long as that director
discloses any material interest pursuant to these Articles. The director shall be counted
towards a quorum of those present at the meeting. If the director votes on the resolution,
his vote shall be counted. |

| (b) | they
are published on a website providing that person is given separate notice of: |
| (i) | the
fact that publication of the documents has been published on the website; |
| (ii) | the
address of the website; and |
| | |
| (iii) | the
place on the website where the documents may be accessed; and |
| | |
| (iv) | how
they may be accessed. |
23.4 | If,
for any reason, a person notifies the Company that he is unable to access the website, the
Company must, as soon as practicable, send the documents to that person by any other means
permitted by these Articles. This, however, will not affect when that person is taken to
have received the documents under the next Article. |
Time

treated as sent at least five Clear Days before the date of the meeting at which they are

for the purpose of a meeting, documents are sent by being published on a website in accordance

end on 31st December in the year of its incorporation and each following year; and |
| | |
| (b) | shall
begin when it was incorporated and on 1st January each following year. |
Except
to the extent of any conflicting rights attached to Shares, the directors may fix any time and date as the record date for:
| (a) | calling
a general meeting; |
| | |
| (b) | declaring
or paying a dividend; |
| | |
| (c) | making
or issuing an allotment of Shares; or |
| | |

any other business required pursuant to these Articles. |
The
record date may be before or after the date on which a dividend, allotment or issue is declared, paid or made.
Declaration
of dividends by Members
26.1 | Subject
to the provisions of the Act, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution declare dividends in
accordance with the respective rights of the Members but no dividend shall exceed the amount
recommended by the directors. |
Payment
of interim dividends and declaration of final dividends by directors
26.2 | The
directors may pay interim dividends or declare final dividends in accordance with the respective
rights of the Members if it appears to them that they are justified by the financial position
of the Company and that such dividends may lawfully be paid. |
| |
26.3 | Subject
to the provisions of the Act, in relation to the distinction between interim dividends and
final dividends, the following applies: |
| (a) | Upon
determination to pay a dividend or dividends described as interim by the directors in the
dividend resolution, no debt shall be created by the declaration until such time as payment
is made. |
| | |
| (b) | Upon
declaration of a dividend or dividends described as final by the directors in the dividend
resolution, a debt shall be created immediately following the declaration, the due date to
be the date the dividend is stated to be payable in the resolution. |
If
the resolution fails to specify whether a dividend is final or interim, it shall be assumed to be interim.
26.4 | In
relation to Shares carrying differing rights to dividends or rights to dividends at a fixed
rate, the following applies: |
| (a) | If
the share capital is divided into different classes, the directors may pay dividends on Shares
which confer deferred or non- preferred rights with regard to dividends as well as on Shares
which confer preferential rights with regard to dividends but no dividend shall be paid on
Shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any preferential
dividend is in arrears. |
| | |
| (b) | The
directors may also pay, at intervals settled by them, any dividend payable at a fixed rate
if it appears to them that there are sufficient funds of the Company lawfully available for
distribution to justify the payment. |
| | |
| (c) | If
the directors act in good faith, they shall not incur any liability to the Members holding
Shares conferring preferred rights for any loss those Members may suffer by the lawful payment
of the dividend on any Shares having deferred or non-preferred rights. |
Apportionment
of dividends
26.5 | Except
as otherwise provided by the rights attached to Shares, all dividends shall be declared and
paid according to the amounts paid up on the Shares on which the dividend is paid. All dividends
shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amount paid up on the Shares during
the time or part of the time in respect of which the dividend is paid. If a Share is issued
on terms providing that it shall rank for dividend as from a particular date, that Share
shall rank for dividend accordingly. |
Right
of set off
26.6 | The
directors may deduct from a dividend or any other amount payable to a person in respect of
a Share any amount due by that person to the Company on a call or otherwise in relation to
a Share. |
Power
to pay other than in cash
26.7 | If
the directors so determine, any resolution declaring a dividend may direct that it shall
be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets. If a difficulty arises in relation
to the distribution, the directors may settle that difficulty in any way they consider appropriate.
For example, they may do any one or more of the following: |
| (a) | issue
fractional Shares; |
| (b) | fix
the value of assets for distribution and make cash payments to some Members on the footing
of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of Members; and |
| | |
| (c) | vest
some assets in trustees. |
How
payments may be made
26.8 | A
dividend or other monies payable on or in respect of a Share may be paid in any of the following
ways: |
| (a) | if
the Member holding that Share or other person entitled to that Share nominates a bank account
for that purpose - by wire transfer to that bank account; or |
| | |
| (b) | by
cheque or warrant sent by post to the registered address of the Member holding that Share
or other person entitled to that Share. |
26.9 | For
the purpose of paragraph (a) of the preceding Article, the nomination may be in writing or
in an Electronic Record and the bank account nominated may be the bank account of another
person. For the purpose of paragraph (b) of the preceding Article, subject to any Applicable
Law or regulation, the cheque or warrant shall be made to the order of the Member holding
that Share or other person entitled to the Share or to his nominee, whether nominated in
writing or in an Electronic Record, and payment of the cheque or warrant shall be a good
discharge to the Company. |
| |
26.10 | If
two or more persons are registered as the holders of the Share or are jointly entitled to
it by reason of the death or bankruptcy of the registered holder (Joint Holders), a dividend
(or other amount) payable on or in respect of that Share may be paid as follows: |
| (a) | to
the registered address of the Joint Holder of the Share who is named first on the Register
of Members or to the registered address of the deceased or bankrupt holder, as the case may
be; or |
| | |
| (b) | to
the address or bank account of another person nominated by the Joint Holders, whether that
nomination is in writing or in an Electronic Record. |
26.11 | Any
Joint Holder of a Share may give a valid receipt for a dividend (or other amount) payable
in respect of that Share. |
Dividends
or other moneys not to bear interest in absence of special rights
26.12 | Unless
provided for by the rights attached to a Share, no dividend or other monies payable by the
Company in respect of a Share shall bear interest. |
Dividends
unable to be paid or unclaimed
26.13 | If
a dividend cannot be paid to a Member or remains unclaimed within six weeks after it was
declared or both, the directors may pay it into a separate account in the Company’s
name. If a dividend is paid into a separate account, the Company shall not be constituted
trustee in respect of that account and the dividend shall remain a debt due to the Member. |
| |
26.14 | A
dividend that remains unclaimed for a period of six years after it became due for payment
shall be forfeited to, and shall cease to remain owing by, the Company. |

of profits |
Capitalisation
of profits or of any share premium account or capital redemption reserve
27.1 | The
directors may resolve to capitalise: |
| (a) | any
part of the Company’s profits not required for paying any preferential dividend (whether
or not those profits are available for distribution); or |
| | |
| (b) | any
sum standing to the credit of the Company’s share premium account or capital redemption
reserve, if any. |
The
amount resolved to be capitalised must be appropriated to the Members who would have been entitled to it had it been distributed by way
of dividend and in the same proportions. The benefit to each Member so entitled must be given in either or both of the following ways:
| (a) | by
paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares; |
| | |
| (b) | by
issuing Fully Paid Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or
as that Member directs. The directors may resolve that any Shares issued to the Member in
respect of partly paid Shares (Original Shares) rank for dividend only to the extent that
the Original Shares rank for dividend while those Original Shares remain partly paid. |
Applying
an amount for the benefit of members
27.2 | The
amount capitalised must be applied to the benefit of Members in the proportions to which
the Members would have been entitled to dividends if the amount capitalised had been distributed
as a dividend. |
| |

to the Act, if a fraction of a Share, a debenture, or other security is allocated to a Member,
the directors may issue a fractional certificate to that Member or pay him the cash equivalent
of the fraction. |

premium account |
directors
to maintain share premium account

required by the Act. |
Debits
to share premium account
28.2 | The
following amounts shall be debited to any share premium account: |
| (a) | on
the redemption or purchase of a Share, the difference between the nominal value of that Share
and the redemption or purchase price; and |
| | |
| (b) | any
other amount paid out of a share premium account as permitted by the Act. |
28.3 | Notwithstanding
the preceding Article, on the redemption or purchase of a Share, the directors may pay the
difference between the nominal value of that Share and the redemption purchase price out
of the profits of the Company or, as permitted by the Act, out of capital. |

have added on its face the name of the place where it is to be used. |

seal may only be used by the authority of the directors. Unless the directors otherwise determine,

| | |
| (b) | by
a single director (or his alternate). |
If
no seal is adopted or used
29.4 | If
the directors do not adopt a seal, or a seal is not used, a document may be executed in the
following manner: |
| (a) | by
a director (or his alternate) or any Officer to which authority has been delegated by resolution
duly adopted by the directors; or |
| | |
| (b) | by
a single director (or his alternate); or |
| | |
| (c) | in
any other manner permitted by the Act. |
Power
to allow non-manual signatures and facsimile printing of seal
29.5 | The
directors may determine that either or both of the following applies: |
| (a) | that
the seal or a duplicate seal need not be affixed manually but may be affixed by some other
method or system of reproduction; |
| | |
| (b) | that
a signature required by these Articles need not be manual but may be a mechanical or Electronic
Signature. |
Validity
of execution
29.6 | If
a document is duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Company, it shall not be
regarded as invalid merely because, at the date of the delivery, the Secretary, or the director,
or other Officer or person who signed the document or affixed the seal for and on behalf
of the Company ceased to be the Secretary or hold that office and authority on behalf of
the Company. |
Indemnity
30.1 | To

Secretary, director (including alternate director), and other Officer of the Company (including
an investment adviser or an administrator or liquidator) and their personal representatives
against: |
| (a) | all
actions, proceedings, costs, charges, expenses, losses, damages or liabilities incurred or
sustained by the existing or former Secretary, director or Officer in or about the conduct

any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative proceedings (whether threatened, pending
or completed) concerning the Company or its affairs in any court or tribunal, whether in
the Islands or elsewhere. |
Such
indemnity only applies if the directors are of the view that, in the absence of fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect, such existing
or former Secretary, director or Officer acted honestly and in good faith with a view to what the person believes is in the best interests
of the Company and, in the case of criminal proceedings, such person had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful.
No such existing or former Secretary, director or Officer, however, shall be indemnified in respect of any matter arising out of his
own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect.
30.2 | To
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company may make a payment, or agree to make
a payment, whether by way of advance, loan or otherwise, for any legal costs incurred by
an existing or former Secretary, director or Officer of the Company in respect of any matter
identified in paragraph (a) or paragraph (b) of the preceding Article on condition that the
Secretary, director or Officer must repay the amount paid by the Company to the extent that
it is ultimately found not liable to indemnify the Secretary, director or that Officer for
those legal costs. |
Release
30.3 | To
the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Company may by Special Resolution release any
existing or former director (including alternate director), Secretary or other Officer of
the Company from liability for any loss or damage or right to compensation which may arise

or discretions of his office; but there may be no release from liability arising out of or
in connection with that person’s own actual fraud, wilful default or wilful neglect. |
Insurance

to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Company shall either: |
| (a) | submit
such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or |

Member holding Public Shares who is not a Founder, Officer or director may, contemporaneously
with any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash
(the IPO Redemption), provided that no such Member acting together with any Affiliate
of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, syndicate,
or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Shares may exercise
this redemption right with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s
prior consent, and provided further that any holder that holds Public Shares beneficially
through a nominee must identify itself to the Company in connection with any redemption election
in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. In connection with any vote held to approve
a proposed Business Combination, holders of Public Shares seeking to exercise their redemption
rights will be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to the Company’s
transfer agent or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The
Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s
option, in each case up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the
proposal to approve a Business Combination. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such
redeeming Member, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business
Combination or abstains from voting, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal
to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business
days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the
Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, divided
by the number of Public Shares then in issue (such redemption price being referred to herein
as the Redemption Price), provided that the Company shall not repurchase Public Shares
in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001. |
| |
37.7 | The
Redemption Price shall be paid promptly following the consummation of the relevant Business
Combination. If the proposed Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason
then such redemptions shall be cancelled and share certificates (if any) returned to the
relevant Members as appropriate. |
37.8 | The
Company has until 12 months from the closing of the IPO to consummate a Business Combination,
provided however that if the Board of Directors anticipates that the Company may not be able
to consummate a Business Combination within 12 months of the closing of the IPO, the Company
may, by Resolution of Directors, at the request of the Sponsor, extend the period of time
to consummate a Business Combination up to five (5) times, as follow: (i) two (2) times for
an additional three (3) months each time from March 30, 2024 to September 30, 2024 (the First

Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then
on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust
Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the Public Shares
then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as
Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and |
| | |
| (c) | as
promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the
Company’s remaining Members and the directors, liquidate and dissolve, |
subject
in each case, to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements
of Applicable Law. If the Company shall wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company
