PROPOSAL NO. 8 — THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL</div>

Overview

Assuming the business combination proposal, the domestication proposal, the organizational documents proposal, the stock issuance proposal, the incentive plan proposal and the ESPP proposal are approved, CCIX is seeking shareholder approval on a non-binding advisory basis by ordinary resolution of the election, effective immediately in connection with the Closing, of the individuals listed below to serve as directors of the Post-Closing Company in the respective classes noted below, each until his or her respective successor is duly elected and qualified, subject to such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

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. Accordingly, the Director Election Proposal is being voted on by CCIX shareholders on a non-binding advisory basis.

Pursuant to the business combination, CCIX has agreed to take all necessary action, including causing the members of the CCIX Board to resign, so that effective at the Closing, the entire Post-Closing Company Board will consist ofseven individuals. The directors will be classified into three classes, with each director holding office for a three-year term or until the next annual meeting of stockholders at which such director’s class is up for election and where such person’s successor is elected and qualified.
