 to the deadline for exercising their rights.

AlphaTime is requiring shareholders who wish to redeem their ordinary shares to either tender their certificates to Equiniti or to deliver their shares to Equiniti electronically using the DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System at least two business days before the Extraordinary General Meeting. In order to obtain a physical certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and Equiniti will need to act to facilitate this request. It is AlphaTime’s understanding that shareholders should generally allow at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from Equiniti. However, because we do not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. While we have been advised that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System, we cannot assure you of this fact. Accordingly, if it takes longer than AlphaTime anticipates for shareholders to deliver their ordinary shares, shareholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their shares. The amount of redemptions exercised by AlphaTime shareholders is uncertain, contingent upon many factors out of our control, and are difficult to predict.

AlphaTime will require its public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with the Business Combination to comply with specific requirements for redemption described above, such redeeming shareholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not consummated.

If AlphaTime requires public shareholders who wish to redeem their public shares in connection with the proposed Business Combination to comply with specific requirements for redemption as described above and the Business Combination is not consummated, AlphaTime will promptly return such certificates to its public shareholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their public shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until AlphaTime has returned their securities to them. The market price for ordinary shares may decline during this time and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish to, even while other shareholders that did not seek redemption may be able to sell their securities.
