 bank or nominee cannot vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares with respect to nonroutine matters unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee. We believe the proposals presented to the shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting will be considered nonroutine and, therefore, your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares without your instruction on any of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee with respect to any of the proposals presented at the extraordinary general meeting, your broker, bank or other nominee may deliver a proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your CCIX Ordinary Shares with respect to those proposals; this indication that a broker, bank or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum but will not be considered votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting. Your bank, broker or other nominee can vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your CCIX Ordinary Shares in accordance with directions you provide.

How will an abstention or broker non-vote impact the results of each proposal?

Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the extraordinary general meeting and will not have any effect on the outcome of the proposals.

CCIX shareholders also may revoke their proxy by attending and voting at the extraordinary general meeting or by sending a notice of revocation to CCIX’s transfer agent, which must be received prior to the vote at the extraordinary general meeting.

What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting?

If you fail to take any action with respect to the extraordinary general meeting and the business combination is not approved, we
