Following the Conversion and the Meeting Redemptions (as defined below), there are 3,552,768 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and 4,666,667 Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.
The Class A Ordinary Shares issued upon the Conversion have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) thereof.

On May 7, 2026, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in lieu of an annual general meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”).

At the Meeting, the Extension Amendment Proposal (as defined below) to amend the Articles (the “Extension Amendment”) was approved. Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the Extension Amendment became effective upon approval of the Extension Amendment Proposal by the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by the holders of the Company’s (i) Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), and (ii) Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B Ordinary Shares”, and together with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) voting as a single class, who, being entitled to do so, voted in person (including shareholders who voted online) or by proxy at the Meeting. The Company filed the Extension Amendment with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies on May 11, 2026.
The foregoing description of the Extension Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Extension Amendment, a copy of which is filed hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
