On October 6, 2026, Acquiror and the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) pursuant to which, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein: (a) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the Reincorporation Merger, the Company will (i) re-domicile from Gibraltar to the Cayman Islands, and (ii) transfer by way of continuation as an exempted company limited by shares in the Cayman Islands in accordance with the Gibraltar Companies Act and the Cayman Companies Act (as applicable) (the “Re-domiciliation and Continuation”), (b) at least one (1) Business Day after the consummation of the Re-domiciliation and Continuation, Acquiror will merge with and into PubCo (the “Reincorporation Merger”), with PubCo being the surviving entity and Merger Sub becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo, and (c) at least one (1) Business Day after the completion of both the Reincorporation Merger and the Re-domiciliation and Continuation and within three (3) Business Days after the completion of the Reincorporation Merger, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Acquisition Merger” and, together with the Reincorporation Merger, the “Mergers”), with the Company being the surviving entity and becoming a wholly-owned Subsidiary of PubCo and the outstanding securities of the Company immediately prior to the Acquisition Merger Effective Time being converted into securities of PubCo (the Mergers together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Transactions”).

B. The Sponsor agrees to enter into this Agreement with respect to all Acquiror Ordinary Shares of which the Sponsor now or hereafter has beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) and/or record ownership.

C. As of the date hereof, the Sponsor is the owner of, and has voting power (including, without limitation, by proxy or power of attorney) over, such number of Acquiror Ordinary Shares as are indicated opposite each of their names on Schedule A attached hereto (all such Acquiror Ordinary Shares, together with any shares in the Acquiror of which beneficial and/or record ownership and/or the power to vote (including, without limitation, by proxy or power of attorney) is hereafter acquired by the Sponsor (or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Acquiror Ordinary Shares) during the period from the date hereof through the Expiration Time are collectively referred to herein as the “Subject Shares”).

D. As a condition to the willingness of Acquiror and the Company to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, the Sponsor has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

E. Each of the Parties has determined that it is in its best interests to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

Until the Expiration Time, the Sponsor agrees not to (x) Transfer any Subject Shares or (y) deposit any Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any Subject Shares or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein), consent or power of attorney with respect thereto (in each case, other than pursuant to this Agreement and in furtherance of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Sponsor may Transfer any Subject Shares to any partner, member, shareholder, or affiliate of the Sponsor in accordance with the terms of the Governing Documents of the Sponsor as in effect as of the date hereof, and (B) the Sponsor may Transfer any Subject Shares upon the consent of Company; provided, that in each case such transferee of such Subject Shares evidences in a writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and subject to all of the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect as the Sponsor, prior and as a condition to the occurrence of such Transfer*.*

2.2 Additional Purchases. Until the Expiration Time, the Sponsor agrees that any Subject Shares that the Sponsor purchases, that are issued to the Sponsor by the Acquiror, that are otherwise hereinafter acquired by the Sponsor or with respect to which the Sponsor otherwise acquires sole or shared voting power (including by proxy or power of attorney) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time, shall in each case be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were Subject Shares owned by the Sponsor as of the date hereof, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws. The Sponsor agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to notify the Company promptly in writing (including by e-mail) of the number of any additional Subject Shares acquired, or over which voting power is acquired, by the Sponsor, if any, after the date hereof.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers. Any Transfer or attempted Transfer of any Subject Shares in violation of this Section 2 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, be null and void ab initio.

3. Voting of Subject Shares.

4

4.8 Waiver of Adjustment of Conversion Ratio. The Sponsor, as the holder of a majority of Acquiror Class B Ordinary Shares, hereby waives any adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio with respect to the Acquiror Class B Ordinary Shares as provided in Article 58 of the Acquiror Charter with respect to any issuance of the Acquiror Ordinary Shares or other Equity-Linked Securities (as defined in the Acquiror Charter) by the Acquiror in connection with the Transactions or the Business Combination Agreement.

5
