 Sourcing and evaluating acquisition candidates; •Business Combination: Structuring transactions and securing aligned capital; •Post -Combination: Institutional engagement, messaging refinement, and ongoing market support. Jonathan Rosenzweig — Prior SPAC Experience Jonathan Rosenzweig served as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary and a director of Home Plate Acquisition Corporation1, (“Home Plate”), a special purpose acquisition company from March 2021 until November 2023. Home Plate completed its IPO in September 2021. In March 2023, Home Plate and Heidmar Inc., a company organized and existing under the laws of Marshall Islands entered into a business combination agreement for a merger between the two companies. Because the merger was not able to be completed by October 2023, the time period required by Home Plate’s charter to consummate a business combination, the parties terminated the agreement and Home Plate was liquidated resulting in 100% redemption of the public shares. Collectively, Mr.Dooley, Mr.Wright and Mr.Rosenzweig bring extensive SPAC execution capabilities, a disciplined approach to target selection, and a strong track record of delivering shareholder value in the public markets. 9 Table of Contents Business Combination Criteria We have established a set of strategic, non -exclusivecriteria to guide our evaluation of potential business combination targets.
