 the New Sponsor shall transfer to the Old Sponsor, at the closing of the Business Combination, a number of additional Class B ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) 1,000,000 minus the number of Committed Shares and (ii) 0.5, rounded down to the nearest whole number (the “Earnout Shares”), provided that the number of Earnout Shares shall not exceed 250,000 Class B ordinary shares in the aggregate; provided further that, if the New Sponsor uses only cash or other arrangements (excluding the use of Class B ordinary shares) to secure the Further Extension, the amount of the Earnout Shares shall be 100,000 Class B ordinary shares.
