 business combination, regardless of how CCIX’s public shareholders vote.

Our Sponsor and Insiders have agreed (and their permitted transferees will agree) to vote any CCIX Founder Shares and any public shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to the CCIX Founder Shares and CCIX private placement shares held by such holders, we would need , or %, of the 28,750,000 CCIX public shares sold in the CCIX IPO that remain outstanding to be voted in favor of a transaction (assuming all issued and outstanding shares are voted) in order to have such initial business combination approved. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval will be received than would be the case if our initial shareholders and their permitted transferees agreed to vote their CCIX Founder Shares and CCIX private placement shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our public shareholders.

In such event, the 7,187,500 CCIX Founder Shares held by the Sponsor will become worthless because the holders thereof are not entitled to participate in any redemption or distribution with respect to such shares. Such shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $ based upon the closing price of $ per share on Nasdaq on , 2025, the record date of the extraordinary general meeting.

The Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 725,000 CCIX private placement units, generating gross proceeds of
