 not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee with respect to any of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, your broker, bank or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your CCIX Ordinary Shares with respect to those proposals; this indication that a broker, bank or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum, but will not be considered votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares in accordance with directions you provide.

Broker non-votes will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposals.

Vote Required for Approval

The Sponsor owns of record and is entitled to vote % of the outstanding CCIX Ordinary Shares as of the CCIX record date. Such shares, as well as any CCIX Ordinary Shares acquired in the aftermarket by the Sponsor, will be voted in favor of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. Accordingly, the business combination proposal does not require the approval of a majority of the unaffiliated holders of CCIX.

The approval of each of the business combination proposal, stock issuance proposal, incentive plan proposal, ESPP proposal, director election proposal, advisory organizational documents proposal and, if necessary, the adjournment proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding CCIX Ordinary Shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting by attendance via the virtual meeting website, in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, voting together as a single class. Accordingly, if a valid quorum is established, a CCIX shareholder’s failure to vote by proxy or to vote at the extraordinary general meeting with regard to the business combination proposal, stock issuance proposal, incentive plan proposal, ESPP proposal, director election proposal and, if necessary, the adjournment proposal, will have no effect on such proposals. Prior to the closing of an initial business combination, CCIX’s current articles of association prescribe that only holders of CCIX Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to appoint and remove directors. This provision of the CCIX current articles of association may only be amended if approved by a special resolution passed by at least 90% (or, where such amendment is proposed
