Risks Related to the Redemption

Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “our” and “us” generally refer to CCIX prior to the business combination.

You must tender your CCIX public shares in order to validly exercise your redemption rights.

In connection with tendering your shares for redemption, you must request in writing that CCIX redeem your CCIX public shares for cash and elect either to physically tender your share certificates to CCIX’s transfer agent or to deliver your shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System, which election would likely be determined based on the manner in which you hold your shares, in each case, by two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the business combination proposal or such later date as our directors may determine. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery by two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the business combination proposal or such later date as our directors may determine ensures that a redeeming

holder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the business combination is approved. Any failure to observe these procedures will result in your loss of redemption rights in connection with the vote on the business combination.

The Merger Agreement provides that CCIX’s and PlusAI’s respective obligations to consummate the business combination are conditioned on CCIX having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as of the Closing. There are no other thresholds, requirements or closing conditions based on the amount of the Available Closing SPAC Cash or otherwise based on the amount remaining in the CCIX trust account following the exercise by CCIX public shareholders of their redemption rights.

As a result, CCIX may be able to complete the business combination even though a substantial portion of public shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of public shares by CCIX or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. CCIX will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC to disclose private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the business combination
