As previously reported, on April 24, 2023, in connection with the special meeting in lieu of Annual Meeting of stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) to be held on May 2, 2023, Juniper II Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Juniper II Management, LLC (the “Sponsor”) entered into non-redemption agreements (each a “Non-Redemption Agreement”) with 7 unaffiliated third parties (each, an “Initial Holder”) pursuant to which the Initial Holders agreed to either not request redemption in connection with the Extension Proposal (as defined in the Proxy Statement (as defined below)) or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand with respect to an aggregate of 2,240,900 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock). In connection therewith, immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of an initial business combination, the Sponsor agreed to forfeit 672,270 shares of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 (“Class B Common Stock”), held by the Sponsor (the “Initial Forfeited Shares”), and in consideration of the Initial Holders’ agreements, the Company agreed to issue to the Initial Holders a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Initial Forfeited Shares. On April 25, 2023, an Initial Holder amended and restated its Non-Redemption Agreement to increase its non-redemption shares from 40,900 to 400,000, with a corresponding increase in the related Forfeited Shares to 120,000.

On April 25, 2023, the Company entered into additional Non-Redemption Agreements with 4 unaffiliated third parties (each an “Additional Holder”). The Additional Holders agreed to either not request redemption in connection with the Extension Proposal or to reverse any previously submitted redemption demand with respect to an aggregate of 1,600,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. In connection therewith, immediately prior to, and substantially concurrently with, the closing of an initial business combination, the Sponsor (or its designees) will surrender and forfeit to the Company for no consideration an aggregate of 480,000 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock held by the Sponsor (the “Additional Forfeited Shares” and, together with the Initial Forfeited Shares, the “Forfeited Shares”), and in consideration of the Additional Holders’ agreements, the Company shall issue to the Additional Holders a number of Class A Common Stock equal to the Additional Forfeited Shares.

Following the entry into the Non-Redemption Agreements on April 25, 2023, an aggregate of 4,200,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,260,000 Forfeited Shares are subject to Non-Redemption Agreements.

The foregoing summary of the Non-Redemption Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Non-Redemption Agreement.
