 and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, and we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the completion of our initial business combination should be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential initial business combination. Resolution to be Voted Upon The full text of the resolution to be proposed is as follows: “RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that Mr. Brian Shimko be, and hereby is, appointed as a Class I Director for a term to expire at the 2028 annual general meeting or until such director’s successor is duly appointed and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.” Vote Required for Approval Pursuant to the Company’s Articles, to be appointed, a nominee must receive a simple majority of votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the then issued and outstanding ordinary shares who, being present and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, vote at the Annual Meeting. Recommendation of the Board Our Board recommends a vote “FOR” the Class I Director set forth in this Director Appointment Proposal. 42 THE AUDITOR PROPOSAL Appointment of Withum Our Audit Committee has selected Withum as our independent registered public accounting firm to perform the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 and recommends that our shareholders vote for the ratification of such selection. Although the ratification of the selection of Withum as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025 is not required by law or our governing documents, the Audit Committee believes that it is a matter of good corporate governance to seek shareholder ratification of the appointment of Withum. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the appointment of Withum is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, change the appointment at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders. On October 2, 2023, the Board of directors and the Audit Committee authorized the dismissal of Marcum LLP (“Marcum”) and engagement of Withum as our new independent registered public accounting firm, for our audit of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023, as reported on our current report on Form 8
