  1. 1

    The Business Combination Proposal

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Approve, by ordinary resolution and subject to the Merger Proposal, Inflection Point’s entry into and performance under the Business Combination Agreement among Inflection Point, Air Water, PubCo and Merger Sub and the transactions contemplated thereby (the Business Combination).

    More detail

    This proposal seeks shareholder approval, by ordinary resolution, for Inflection Point to enter into and consummate the Business Combination Agreement with Air Water and related parties, subject to the separate Merger Proposal. Management is asking shareholders to ratify the negotiated transaction documents so that the multi‑step transaction (including the First and Second Mergers and the issuance of PubCo securities) may close. The Business Combination is structured with interdependent approvals, trust‑account redemption mechanics for Public Shareholders, and additional financing (PIPE) commitments that underlie the combined company’s post‑closing liquidity. The Board’s recommendation reflects its view after due diligence, review of Air Water projections, and fairness opinions from Newbridge, which concluded that the consideration is fair from a financial point of view to unaffiliated public shareholders. Notably, the Sponsor, certain officers and other insiders have financial interests and have agreed to vote in favor, and Sponsor and Cantor collectively own a material stake that reduces the incremental public vote needed to pass the proposal; the proxy discloses these potential conflicts. If approved and all closing conditions (including Nasdaq listing and Registration Statement effectiveness) are satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will proceed and PubCo will become the publicly listed parent of Air Water’s operating subsidiaries. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the merger (and associated transactions) cannot consummate; conversely, approval is conditioned on the separate Merger Proposal so both must pass. The proposal faces typical SPAC‑related governance and alignment issues: it is supported by the board and advisors but involves insider incentives, protective charter provisions and the fact that the vote is not structured to require a majority of unaffiliated shareholders under Cayman law, which investors should weigh in assessing the transaction’s merits.

  2. 2

    The Merger Proposal

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Approve, by special resolution and subject to the Business Combination Proposal, the First Merger of Inflection Point into PubCo and authorize the First Plan of Merger (statutory merger under Cayman Islands Companies Act).

    More detail

    The Merger Proposal requests a special‑resolution vote (statutory two‑thirds threshold under Cayman law) authorizing Inflection Point to effect the First Merger into PubCo and to approve the First Plan of Merger. It is a legal prerequisite for the contemplated transaction structure — without this statutory approval the Business Combination cannot be completed. The plan contemplates PubCo as the surviving entity and includes authorization for officers or directors to execute and file merger documentation with Cayman authorities; the proposal text expressly ties approval to the Business Combination Proposal, creating a cross‑condition. The company informs shareholders of appraisal/dissenters’ rights under the Companies Act and the mechanics for exercising redemption, which are material investor protections in a Cayman merger context. Board support is unanimous and Newbridge provided fairness analyses in support of the transaction consideration, but the proxy also discloses potential conflicting interests of Sponsor, management and Air Water insiders who will obtain equity and governance roles post‑closing. The special‑resolution threshold and Sponsor support materially affect the path to closing because Sponsor and Cantor hold a meaningful block of votes and committed PIPE funding reduces execution risk. If approved and other closing conditions are satisfied, the First Merger will effect the reorganized corporate structure; if not approved, the Business Combination cannot proceed and the transaction will fail. Investors should weigh Cayman appraisal rights, the cross‑conditioning of approvals, and disclosed insider incentives when evaluating the merits of authorizing the statutory merger.

  3. 3

    Advisory Organizational Document Proposal 3A — Authorization to issue PubCo shares and Series A preferred

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Advisory, non‑binding vote to approve that the PubCo A&R Articles authorize PubCo to issue 499,870,000 PubCo Ordinary Shares and 130,000 PubCo Series A Preferred Shares.

    More detail

    This advisory proposal asks shareholders to express a non‑binding preference that PubCo’s post‑combination charter authorize a specific share capital structure — 499,870,000 ordinary shares and 130,000 Series A preferred shares. Management frames this as housekeeping to align the PubCo A&R Articles with the capitalization necessary to effect the Business Combination, support PIPE issuances, convert existing founder/private placement interests and provide a reserve for equity incentive plans and potential future issuances. Because the vote is advisory, the PubCo A&R Articles will nonetheless take effect at Closing regardless of the outcome; the Business Combination is not conditioned on passing this advisory item. The board’s support and the Sponsor’s commitment to vote in favor make passage likely and signal management’s intent for the authorized share counts in the post‑closing entity. Investors should view the proposal through the lens of dilution risk: larger authorized share capital can facilitate future financing, incentive awards, or conversion events that dilute existing holders. The proxy discloses the existence of investor protections and Series A preferred instruments that may rank senior to ordinary shares, so approving the authorized amount implicitly accepts the planned capital structure. While non‑binding, the vote allows management to demonstrate shareholder sentiment on foundational governance and capitalization decisions for PubCo after the Business Combination.

  4. 3

    Advisory Organizational Document Proposal 3B — Amendment threshold and Series A consent

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Advisory, non‑binding vote to approve that the PubCo A&R Articles may be altered or amended by special resolution, provided that amendments materially and adversely affecting Series A Preferred powers require consent of holders of more than 50% (by number) of the Series A Preferred Shares.

    More detail

    This advisory proposal asks shareholders to endorse a charter amendment regime that uses Cayman special resolutions (two‑thirds threshold) for general charter changes while requiring a separate greater‑than‑50% consent of Series A Preferred holders for any amendment that would materially and adversely affect Series A rights. Management presents the provision as a standard protective mechanism that preserves negotiated preferences of Series A Preferred holders and prevents dilution or stripping of senior rights without their consent. The advisory nature of the vote means it does not legally bind PubCo, but it provides a gauge of shareholder acceptance of the negotiated governance protections and the relative bargaining power of Series A holders. The board supports the item as consistent with the contemplated capital structure and investor protections agreed with Air Water investors and PIPE participants. From a governance perspective, this provision can be viewed as entrenching negotiated investor protections that may constrain future ordinary‑shareholder actions or strategic flexibility unless Series A consent is obtained. Investors should be aware this creates a dual class of approvable changes: general changes by special resolution and more structural changes that also require preferred holder approval, which could align or conflict with majority ordinary shareholder interests in future scenarios. Given that the Inflection Point Entities will initially hold meaningful Series A stakes, passage would formalize protections that benefit those holders and potentially limit the ordinary‑shareholder majority’s unilateral ability to alter key charter provisions.

  5. 3

    Advisory Organizational Document Proposal 3C — Declassification of the PubCo board

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Advisory, non‑binding vote to approve that the PubCo A&R Articles provide that the board of directors of PubCo be declassified (i.e., directors serve non‑staggered terms).

    More detail

    This advisory proposal concerns a structural governance choice — whether PubCo’s board will be staggered (classified) or declassified with annual elections for all directors. Management asks for a non‑binding shareholder endorsement that PubCo’s A&R Articles adopt a declassified structure, which is typically regarded as enhancing board accountability by allowing shareholders to vote on the entire board annually. The Inflection Point Organizational Documents currently provide for a classified board, so this vote seeks shareholder input on a meaningful post‑closing change. The board supports the change as it aligns with public‑company norms and may reduce perceived entrenchment; however, the vote is advisory and not a closing condition, so PubCo can implement the A&R Articles at closing regardless of the outcome. From an investor perspective, declassification is pro‑shareholder and may improve governance and responsiveness, but it also removes some continuity benefits that a classified board can bring. Given the other protective provisions proposed for Series A holders, this declassification vote should be considered in the broader context of the post‑closing governance package. Overall, this advisory vote signals management’s intent to adopt annual director elections and gives shareholders a voice on board structure even though it is non‑binding.

  6. 3

    Advisory Organizational Document Proposal 3D — Removal of directors by ordinary resolution

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Advisory, non‑binding vote to approve that the PubCo A&R Articles provide that directors of PubCo may be removed by ordinary resolution (simple majority).

    More detail

    This advisory proposal asks shareholders to express non‑binding approval that PubCo’s charter permit director removal by ordinary resolution (a simple majority vote). Management frames this as consistent with common public‑company governance norms and as increasing accountability of the board to ordinary shareholders. Because Inflection Point’s existing documents may have different mechanisms for removal tied to a classified board, this advisory action is intended to align PubCo with investor expectations post‑closing. The Board recommends the change and emphasizes the advisory nature of the vote; the A&R Articles will govern at Closing regardless of the advisory outcome. Practically, giving shareholders the power to remove directors by ordinary resolution lowers the threshold for board changes and can accelerate governance changes in response to performance or conduct concerns. However, when combined with Series A protective provisions proposed in Proposal 3E, ordinary‑shareholder power to remove directors may be partially offset by preferred holder protections in other material corporate actions. Shareholders should consider this proposal in the context of the full A&R package: it increases director accountability but does not by itself negate other charter entrenchment mechanisms.

  7. 3

    Advisory Organizational Document Proposal 3E — Series A protective provisions (Series A Majority Consent

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Advisory, non‑binding vote to approve that so long as Inflection Point Entities hold at least 20% of PubCo Series A Preferred Shares on issue, a Series A Majority Consent is required for certain protective actions (including liquidation, material amendment to A&R Articles affecting Series A rights, creation/issuance of junior equity, increasing Series A authorized capital, purchase/redemption of junior shares, related‑party transactions, and incurrence of new indebtedness beyond the ordinary course).

    More detail

    Proposal 3E is a central governance and protective package negotiated as part of the capital structure: while advisory, it asks shareholders to approve that so long as Inflection Point Entities hold at least 20% of Series A Preferred on issue, a Series A Majority Consent will be required to take a set of significant corporate actions. The enumerated actions include liquidation, charter amendments that materially and adversely affect Series A rights, new issuances or reclassifications that could dilute or subordinate Series A, increases in Series A authorized capital, repurchases or cash dividends on junior shares (with limited employee repurchase exceptions), affiliated‑party transactions (with limited employee compensation exceptions), and incurrence of non‑ordinary course indebtedness. Management argues this protects negotiated investor rights and preserves the economics and control expectations of Series A investors and PIPE participants. From a shareholder governance viewpoint, these protections create a powerful veto right for Series A holders while the specified ownership threshold is met, potentially insulating certain decisions from ordinary‑shareholder control. The board recommends the proposal as consistent with the negotiated deal terms, but because it is advisory, the A&R Articles will take effect at Closing regardless; however, a negative advisory outcome could pose reputational issues and complicate post‑closing governance. Investors should evaluate the trade‑off: the protections may stabilize long‑term investor alignment and attract PIPE financing, but they also limit ordinary shareholders’ ability to effect major corporate changes while Series A holders retain blocking power. Given the Sponsor and Inflection Point Entities’ initial holdings, these provisions effectively lock in a significant layer of preferred‑holder protection that will materially shape corporate governance and strategic optionality post‑closing.

  8. 4

    The Adjournment Proposal

    ManagementBoard: FOR

    Approve, by ordinary resolution, granting the chairman the authority to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or place if necessary or convenient to permit further solicitation of proxies, to enable satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions, or to facilitate the Mergers or other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

    More detail

    This procedural proposal requests an ordinary‑resolution authorization for the chairman to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting if additional time or place changes are needed to obtain sufficient votes, resolve outstanding closing conditions, or facilitate transaction mechanics. Management portrays the adjournment right as a routine measure to allow additional solicitation and to avoid premature failure of the Business Combination for vote shortfalls or last‑minute conditions. The proposal is not conditioned on other proposals and requires only a simple majority; the Board recommends it to preserve flexibility in the event of unexpected developments. While commonly used in SPAC transactions, adjournments can also enable further insider purchases or solicitation efforts which may raise governance questions if used to change the balance of voting power. Investors should consider the circumstances under which management might seek adjournment — e.g., close vote tallies, pending Nasdaq or SEC comments, or conditional financing — and whether adjournment could materially affect the fairness or opportunity to evaluate the transaction. If approved, the chairman may use the authority to adjourn, giving the company time to solicit additional votes or fulfill closing contingencies; without it, a failure to secure votes at the meeting could terminate the transaction. Shareholders should be mindful that adjournment powers are standard but can be used in ways that materially affect the path to closing, and the proxy discloses potential conflicts arising from insider interests and Sponsor voting commitments.
