Emerging Growth Company Status

New Semnur will be an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, it will be exempted from certain
requirements related to executive compensation, including the requirements to hold a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and to provide information relating to the ratio of total compensation of its Chief Executive Officer to the
median of the annual total compensation of all of its employees, each as required by the Investor Protection and Securities Reform Act of 2010, which is part of the Dodd-Frank Act.

New Semnur Executive Officer Compensation Following the Business Combination

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Semnur intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation
with New Semnur’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Semnur to attract, retain, incentivize and reward individuals who contribute to the long-term success of
New Semnur. Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the New Semnur Board and specifically through the New Semnur Board’s Compensation Committee. Semnur expects that the compensation policies followed by New Semnur will
be designed to provide for compensation that is sufficient to attract, motivate and retain executives of New Semnur and to establish an appropriate relationship between executive compensation and the creation of stockholder value.

In addition to the guidance provided by its Compensation Committee, the New Semnur Board may utilize the services of third parties from time to time in
connection with the recruiting, hiring and determination of compensation awarded to executive employees. In connection with the Business Combination, the Semnur Board
