NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations

Ross Acquisition Corp II (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 19, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (an “Initial Business Combination”).

Ross Acquisition Corp. II has two wholly owned subsidiaries, APRINOIA Therapeutics Merger Sub 2, Inc. (“Merger Sub 2”), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, which was formed on December 21, 2022 and APRINOIA Therapeutics Merger Sub 3, Inc. (“Merger Sub 3”), an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands, which was formed on December 21, 2022. Ross Acquisition Corp. II and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as “the Company”.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 19, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and, since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective Initial Business Combination. The Company generates no operating revenues until after the completion of its Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is Ross Holding Company LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on March 11, 2021. On March 16, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 34,500,000 units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), including 4,500,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments (the “Over-Allotment Units”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $345.0 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $19.9 million, of which approximately $12.1 million was for deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5).

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 5,933,333 warrants (each, a “Private Placement Warrant” and collectively, the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $8.9 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $345.0 million ($10.00 per Unit) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”), located in the United States with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and has been only in U.S. “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or the Investment Company Act, having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, as determined by the Company, or cash, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of an Initial Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating an Initial Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete an Initial Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more Initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into the Initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete an Initial Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target business or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

ROSS ACQUISITION CORP II

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company will provide the holders of the Public Shares (the “Public Shareholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of an Initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Initial Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of an Initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). These Public Shares were classified as temporary equity in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with an Initial Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of an Initial Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Initial Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which was adopted upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, as amended (the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing an Initial Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with an Initial Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares purchased during or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of an Initial Business Combination. Subsequent to the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, the Company adopted an insider trading policy which requires insiders to: (i) refrain from purchasing shares during certain blackout periods and when they are in possession of any material non-public information and (ii) to clear all trades with the Company’s legal counsel prior to execution. In addition, the initial shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of an Initial Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A ordinary shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination by March 16, 2024, or such later date by which the Company must complete an Initial Business Combination pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Combination Period”), or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-Initial Business Combination activity, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 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 its tax obligations, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

ROSS ACQUISITION CORP II

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On March 13, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”) to approve (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “First Extension Amendment Proposal”) to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from March 16, 2023 to September 16, 2023 (such extension, the “First Extension” and such date, the “First Extension Date”) or such later date by which the Company must complete an Initial Business Combination pursuant to an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and (ii) a proposal to allow the adjournment of the Extension Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal (the “First Adjournment Proposal”). The First Extension Amendment Proposal was approved. In connection with the vote to approve the First Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 28,119,098 Class A ordinary shares of the Company properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.23 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $287.7 million.

The Sponsor has agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the Sponsor or members of the Company’s management team acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete an Initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (except the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

Terminated Business Combination

On January 17, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), with APRINOIA Therapeutics Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands ( “APRINOIA”), APRINOIA Therapeutics Holdings Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands (“PubCo”), APRINOIA Therapeutics Merger Sub 1, Inc., an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of the Cayman Islands and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo (“Merger Sub 1”), Merger Sub 2 and Merger Sub 3 (Merger Sub 3, together with Merger Sub 1 and Merger Sub 2, the “Merger Subs”). The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to herein as the “Terminated Business Combination.”

The terms of the Terminated Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated thereby are summarized in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 18, 2023.

Effective as of August 21, 2023 and in accordance with Section 11.01(a) of the Business Combination Agreement, RAC, APRINOIA, PubCo and the Merger Subs mutually agreed to terminate the Business Combination Agreement and, consequently, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) pursuant to the terms of a termination agreement entered into by and between each of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Further, under the Termination Agreement, each of RAC, Merger Sub 2 and Merger Sub 3 released APRINOIA, PubCo and Merger Sub 1, and each of their representatives, affiliates, agents and assigns, and each of APRINOIA, PubCo and Merger Sub 1 released RAC, Merger Sub 2 and Merger Sub 3, and each of their representatives, affiliates, agents and assigns, for any claims, causes of action, liabilities or damages, except for certain provisions that survive the termination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, or for breaches of the Termination Agreement. Further details regarding the termination and the Termination Agreement may be found in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 21, 2023.

Extraordinary General Meeting in lieu of Annual Meeting

On September 15, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting in lieu of annual meeting of shareholders (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to approve (i) a proposal to amend the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date by which the Company has to consummate an Initial Business Combination from September 16, 2023 to March 16, 2024 (such proposal, the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”, such extension, the “Second Extension” and March 16, 2024, the “Second Extended Date”), (ii) a proposal to amend the Company’s A
