Recommendation of the CCIX Board

PROPOSAL NO. 9 — THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL</div>

Overview

CCIX shareholders are also being asked to approve a proposal to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for the approval of the business combination proposal, the domestication proposal, the organizational documents proposal, the advisory organizational documents proposal, the stock issuance proposal, the incentive plan proposal, the ESPP proposal, or the director election proposal (the “adjournment proposal”).

In no event will CCIX solicit proxies to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting or consummate the business combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under CCIX’s current articles of association, the Companies Act or the Merger Agreement. The purpose of the adjournment proposal is to provide more time for the Sponsor, CCIX and/or their respective affiliates to make purchases of CCIX Ordinary Shares or other arrangements that would increase the likelihood of obtaining a favorable vote on such proposal and to meet the requirements that are necessary to consummate the business combination. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain CCIX Persons in the Business Combination.”

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If an adjournment proposal is presented at the extraordinary general meeting and is not approved by CCIX shareholders, the CCIX Board may not be able to adjourn the extraordinary general meeting to a later date in order to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for any of the condition precedent proposals. In such event, the business combination would not be completed.

Vote Required

The approval of the adjournment proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast by holders of outstanding CCIX Ordinary Shares represented at the extraordinary general meeting by attendance via the virtual meeting website, in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the extraordinary general meeting, voting together as
