 at the close of business on , 2025 (the “CCIX record date”), which is the record date for the extraordinary general meeting. CCIX shareholders will have one vote for each share of CCIX Ordinary Shares owned at the close of business on the CCIX record date. If your CCIX Ordinary Shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the CCIX record date, there were CCIX Ordinary Shares outstanding, of which were CCIX Class A Ordinary Shares and were CCIX Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor.

Quorum

A quorum of CCIX shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum for such meeting will consist of the holders present by attendance via the virtual meeting website, in person or by proxy of CCIX Ordinary Shares representing at least one-third (1/3) of the paid up voting share capital of CCIX entitled to vote at such meeting. The Sponsor owns % of the issued and outstanding CCIX Ordinary Shares as of the CCIX record date, which will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the CCIX record date, in addition to shares of the Sponsor, CCIX Ordinary Shares held by CCIX public shareholders would be required to be present at the extraordinary general meeting to achieve a quorum. Proxies that are marked “abstain” will be treated as shares of CCIX public shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. 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.

Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

As a matter of Cayman Islands law, abstentions will not constitute votes cast at the CCIX extraordinary general meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of the Proposals.

Under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares with respect to nonroutine matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. We believe the proposals presented to the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting will be considered nonroutine and, therefore, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting.
