 as of the record date). Prior to exercising redemption rights, CCIX shareholders should verify the market price of CCIX public shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. CCIX cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their CCIX public shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when CCIX shareholders wish to sell their shares.

If a holder of CCIX public shares properly exercises their redemption rights and the business combination is consummated, then they will be exchanging their CCIX public shares for cash and will no longer own those shares. They will be entitled to receive cash for their CCIX public shares only if they properly exercise their redemption rights no later than the Redemption Deadline by delivering their share certificate (either physically or electronically) to CCIX’s transfer agent prior to the Redemption Deadline.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, the Sponsor and the Insiders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of their CCIX Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the business combination and, because of this, such CCIX Ordinary Shares are excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price. As is customary in transactions of this type, the Sponsor and the Insiders did not receive any consideration for waiving their redemption rights.

Appraisal Rights

CCIX shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the business combination under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

CCIX is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail. CCIX and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, or by other electronic means. CCIX will bear the cost of the solicitation.

CCIX has hired Proxy Solicitor to assist in the proxy solicitation process. CCIX will pay that firm a fee of $30,000 for the extraordinary general meeting plus disbursements. Such payment will be made from non-trust account funds.

CCIX will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. CCIX will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Purchases of Shares

The Sponsor and/or its affiliates may purchase shares
