consummated (the “Closing”) the transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain
Business Combination Agreement, dated as of November 12, 2023 (as amended on December 18, 2023, the “Business Combination Agreement”),

a British Virgin Islands business company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “First Merger Sub”), Merger II Limited,
an exempted company incorporated with limited liability in the Cayman Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Second
Merger Sub”), Navy Sail International Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company, in the capacity as Purchaser Representative
thereunder and Extra Technology Limited, a British Virgin Islands business company, in the capacity as Seller Representative thereunder.

Merger”) on August 1, 2024, with Helport surviving the First Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco and (b) on August 2, 2024

subsidiary of Pubco (the “Second Merger”).

the First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement, Pubco agreed to undertake certain resale shelf registration obligations in accordance

rights.
The foregoing
