 initial business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or CCIX’s officers and directors or their respective affiliates may, but are not obligated to, loan CCIX funds as may be required. If CCIX completes an initial business combination, CCIX would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, CCIX may use a portion of the working capital held outside the trust account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the trust account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units of the post-Closing business combination entity at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender. The units and their underlying securities would be identical to the CCIX private placement units. Except as set forth above, the terms of such loans by CCIX’s officers and directors, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of the initial business combination, CCIX does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor as CCIX does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the trust account. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, CCIX had no borrowings under such loans.

CCIX has agreed to indemnify the Sponsor and its members (present and former), managers and affiliates and their respective present and former officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law from any claims made by CCIX or a third party in respect of any investment opportunities sourced by them or any liability arising with respect to their activities in connection with CCIX’s affairs, to the extent that such indemnification, hold harmless and exoneration obligations with respect to such matters are not expressly covered by a separate written agreement between CCIX and any such party. Such indemnity will provide that the indemnified parties cannot access the funds held in the trust account.

After the initial business combination, members of CCIX’s management team who remain with CCIX may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to CCIX’s shareholders, to the extent then known, in this proxy statement/prospectus or other proxy solicitation materials furnished to CCIX’s shareholders. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation is fully known at the time of distribution of this proxy
