 Georgia. Since February 2022, he has served as a member of the Georgia Student Finance Commission Board of Commissioners, the state entity that oversees $1 billion funding in scholarships, grants and loans for the Georgia University System, a position appointed by the Governor of Georgia. Mr. Grigsby holds a Bachelor’s Degree from Anderson University, South Carolina. We believe that Mr. Grigsby’s track record in investment and private equity makes him well suited to serve as a member of our board of directors. Among our management, Mr.Padmakumar, our Chairman, CEO and director, has prior experiences in two SPACs, including currently as Chairman and director of Four Leaf Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: FORL), a SPAC in search of target business, since July 2022, and as CEO, Chairman and board member of Monterey Capital Acquisition Corporation (Nasdaq: MCAC) (“MCAC”), from September 2021 until the closing of its business combination with ConnectM Technology Solutions, Inc.

We presently expect each of our employees to devote such amount of time as they reasonably believe is necessary to our business (which could range from only a few hours a week while we are trying to locate a potential target business to a majority of their time as we move into serious negotiations with a target business for a business combination).
