 including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, CCIX’s management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to CCIX than any alternative.

However, CCIX has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has CCIX independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations, and CCIX believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, CCIX cannot assure CCIX’s shareholders that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were
