 Management” for information regarding the ownership of New Semnur’s outstanding stock by its directors, executive officers, and current beneficial owners of 5% or more of New Semnur’s voting securities and their respective affiliates.

New Semnur’s ability to use its net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to limitation.

Generally, a change of more than 50% in the ownership of a company’s stock, by value, over a three-year period constitutes an ownership change for U.S. federal income tax purposes. An ownership change may limit New Semnur’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards attributable to the period prior to the change. New Semnur has experienced a corporate reorganization in the past and may experience ownership changes in the future as a result of the Business Combination and/or subsequent changes in its stock ownership (some of which shifts are outside its control). As a result, if New Semnur earns net taxable income, its ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability for New Semnur.

The Tax Cuts and JOBS Act of 2017 (the “TCJA”), as amended by the CARES Act, includes changes to U.S. federal tax rates and the rules governing net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. The TCJA, as modified by**

the CARES Act, limits a taxpayer’s ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income (as calculated before taking the NOLs, and certain other tax attributes, into account) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020. In addition, NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2021 may be carried back to each of the five taxable years preceding the tax year of such loss, but NOLs arising in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2020 may not be carried back. NOLs arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2021 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation, and NOLs generated in tax years ending before January 1, 2018 will continue to have a two-year carryback and 20-year carry
