The PIPE Common Warrants are immediately exercisable for 36 months at an exercise price of $6.75 per share. The PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants are immediately exercisable and may be exercised at any time until all of the PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants issued in the PIPE Offering are exercised in full at an exercise price of $0.05 per share. Each PIPE Investor’s ability to exercise its PIPE Pre-Funded Warrants and PIPE Common Warrants, as applicable, in exchange for Class B Ordinary Shares is subject to certain beneficial ownership limitations set forth therein.

The aggregate gross proceeds for the PIPE Offering is approximately $300 million, which amount was paid in cash, USD Coin, Tether, or SOL, the native cryptocurrency of Solana, a blockchain ecosystem, or a combination thereof.  

Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. acted as exclusive financial advisor and sole placement agent in connection with the PIPE Offering.
