On January 27, 2026, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "***Purchase Agreement***") with the Sponsor, certain members of the Sponsor (the "***Sellers***") and Digital Investment Strategy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "***Acquiror***"), pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to the Acquiror, and the Acquiror agreed to purchase from the Sellers, 100% of the equity interests of the Sponsor.

Please read this information statement carefully. It contains certain biographical and other information concerning the 14F Directors.

THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS REQUIRED BY SECTION 14(F) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT AND RULE 14F-1 PROMULGATED THEREUNDER. THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS BEING PROVIDED SOLELY FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES AND NOT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VOTE OF THE SHAREHOLDERS OF SLAM CORP.

**WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SEND A PROXY OR TAKE ANY ACTION.** 

**CHANGE OF CONTROL AND CHANGE OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS** 

On January 27, 2026, the Company, the Sponsor, the Sellers and the Acquiror entered into the Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Sellers agreed to sell to the Acquiror an aggregate of 100% of the equity interests of the Sponsor.

The current directors of the Company as of the date of this Information Statement are Alex Rodriguez, Himanshu Gulati, Lisa Harrington, Reggie Hudlin, Julian Nemirovsky and Alexandre Zyngier. Each of Alex Rodriguez, Himanshu Gulati, Lisa Harrington, Reggie Hudlin, Julian Nemirovsky and Alexandre Zyngier will tender his or her resignation as a director of the Company, effective as of the Director and Officer Handover Date.

Alex Rodriguez, Himanshu Gulati, Lisa Harrington, Reggie Hudlin, Julian Nemirovsky and Alexandre Zyngier will be replaced by Maulin Shah, Joseph Buttram, Raoul Scott, Karen Snow, Michael Frisch, Kain Warwick and Ryan Bright as directors of the Company on the Director and Officer Handover Date.

To the Company's knowledge, the nominees have not been the subject of any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time, been convicted in a criminal proceeding or been subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses), been subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining, barring, suspending or otherwise limiting such person's involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities or been found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

No action is required by our shareholders in connection with this Information Statement.

**VOTING SECURITIES** 

As of the date hereof, the Company is authorized to issue up to (i) 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, (ii) 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares and (iii) 5,000,000 preference shares, par value US$0.0001 per share (the "***preference shares***"), of which 14,284,324 Class A ordinary shares are issued and outstanding and 165,000 Class B ordinary shares are issued and outstanding. No preference shares are issued and outstanding as of the date hereof.

(1) Unless otherwise indicated, the business address of each of those listed in the table above is
1760 Market St., Suite 602, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

(2) Interests shown consist solely of founder shares, designated as Class B ordinary shares. Such shares
will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis concurrently with or immediately following the consummation
of our initial business combination, or earlier at the option of the holder thereof.

(3) Includes 30,000 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned directly by Ms. Laferriere.

(4) Includes 30,000 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned by Mr. Bright.
 RX2LX3 Family LP ("  ***RX2LX3***") is the record holder of the securities reported herein. Mr. Bright has voting and
 investment discretion with respect to the securities held of record by RX2LX3.

(5) Includes 10,000 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned directly
 by Ms. Harrington.

(6) Includes 30,000 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned directly
 by Mr. Hudlin.

(7) Includes 5,000 Class B ordinary shares beneficially owned directly
 by Mr. Nemirovsky.

(8) Includes 10,000 Class B Ordinary Shares beneficially owned directly
 by Mr. Zyngier.

(9) Consists of 14,210,000 Class A Ordinary Shares and 1,000 Class B Ordinary
 Shares.

(10) There are four managers of the Sponsor's board of managers. Each
 manager has one vote, and the approval of a majority is required to approve an action of the Sponsor. Under the so-called "rule
 of three," if voting and dispositive decisions regarding an entity's securities are made by three or more individuals, and
 a voting or dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial
 owner of the entity's securities. This is the situation with regard to the Sponsor. Based upon the foregoing analysis, no individual
 manager of the Sponsor exercises voting or dispositive control over any of the securities held by the Sponsor, even those in which he
 directly holds a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of them will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such shares.

**Change in Control** 

Except for the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, we do not currently have any arrangements which, if consummated, may result in a change of control of the Company.

**DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE** 

The Company's Board of Directors has appointed Maulin Shah, Joseph Buttram, Raoul Scott, Karen Snow, Michael Frisch, Kain Warwick and Ryan Bright as directors of the Company, effective as of the Director and Officer Handover Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, upon the Company meeting its information obligations under the Exchange Act, including the filing and mailing of this Information Statement, the Board of Directors of the Company will consist of seven directors, until the expiration of his/her term, until his/her successor(s) shall have been duly elected or appointed and qualified or until his/her earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the Articles.

The following sets forth information regarding (i) the Company's officers and directors immediately prior to the Director and Officer Handover Date and (ii) the 14F Directors and nominees and proposed officers. There is no agreement or understanding between the Company and each current or proposed officer or director pursuant to which he or she was selected as an officer or director.

We currently have six directors, and upon appointment, we will have seven directors and Mr. Shah will serve as chairman of our Board.

Our Board is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term.

Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of our founder shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

Pursuant to an agreement entered into on the closing of our initial public offering ("***IPO***"), our Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination, is entitled to nominate three individuals for election to our board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.

Our officers are appointed by the Board and serve at the discretion of the Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate.

The Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's processes for assessing and managing risk.

The Board focuses on our general risk oversight strategy and understanding the ways in which management proactively manages risks and ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. The audit committee of the Board assists the Board in this oversight responsibility in its respective area of responsibility as described in this Information Statement.

**Board Meetings; Annual Meeting Attendance** 

The Board held one meeting and the Company did not hold an annual general meeting during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

**Director Independence** 

Currently, Alexandre Zyngier, Lisa Harrington, Reggie Hudlin and Julian Nemirovsky are "independent directors" as defined in the applicable exchange listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

The Company has determined that, upon their appointments, the director nominees Michael Frisch and Kain Warwick will be "independent" directors as defined in the applicable exchange listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present. Any affiliated transactions will be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from independent parties. Our Board will review and approve all affiliated transactions with any interested director abstaining from such review and approval.

**Committees of the Board of Directors** 

Our Board of Directors has one standing committee: an audit committee. Our audit committee is composed solely of independent directors. Our audit committee operates under a charter that was approved by our Board of Directors and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charter of our audit committee is available on our website.

 

*Audit Committee* 

We have established an audit committee of the Board of Directors. Alexandre Zyngier, Lisa Harrington and Julian Nemirovsky serve on our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that Alexandre Zyngier, Lisa Harrington and Julian Nemirovsky are independent under applicable exchange listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Alexandre Zyngier serves as the Chairman of the audit committee.

We anticipate that following their appointments, the director nominees Michael Frisch and Kain Warwick will serve as members of our audit committee and will be independent under applicable exchange listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our Board of Directors has determined that Alexandre Zyngier qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules.

Each of Michael Frisch and Kain Warwick are financially literate and Michael Frisch and Kain Warwick will qualify as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined in applicable SEC rules. We anticipate that following his appointment, Kain Warwick will serve as the chairman of the audit committee.

The audit committee's duties, which are specified in our Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to:

● meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

● monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

● verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

● inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

● pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

● appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

● determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

● establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

● monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our IPO and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of our IPO; and

● reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval

**Code of Ethics** 

We adopted a code of conduct and ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. You will be able to review these documents by accessing our public filings at the SEC's web site at *www.sec.gov*. In addition, a copy of the Code of Business Conduct will be provided without charge upon request from us.

**Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act** 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of our ordinary shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company's knowledge, during the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no delinquent filers.

**Shareholder Communications** 

A shareholder who wishes to communicate with the Board may do so by directing a written request addressed to the Board at the address appearing on the first page of this Information Statement.

**COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS** 

No compensation will be paid to our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to or in connection with the consummation of our initial business combination. Additionally, these individuals will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to our Sponsor, executive officers, directors or our or their affiliates.

After the completion of our initial business combination, members of our management team who remain with us, may be paid consulting, management or other fees from the combined company with any and all amounts being fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the tender offer materials or proxy solicitation materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time, as it will be up to the directors of the post-combination business to determine executive and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our officers will be determined, or recommenced, to the Board of Directors for determination, either by a committee constituted solely of independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our Board of Directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after the initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management's motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment

The Company has adopted an insider trading policy governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of the Company's securities by its directors, officers and employees. The Company believes that the policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable law and exchange listing standards regarding insider trading. A copy of our insider trading policy will be filed with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Founder Shares***

On December 31, 2020, our Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 14,375,000 Class B ordinary shares (the "***Founder Shares***"). In January 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 120,000 Founder Shares to the independent directors, 30,000 Founder Shares to an officer of the company and 30,000 Founder Shares to the Company's special advisor. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to an aggregate of 1,875,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the option to purchase additional units was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares after our IPO. On February 25, 2021, the underwriter fully exercised its over-allotment option; thus, these 1,875,000 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

On January 16, 2025, the Sponsor converted the Founder Shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. The Sponsor has agreed to waive any right to receive funds from the Company's trust account ("***Trust Account***") with respect to the Class A ordinary shares received upon such conversion and acknowledged that such shares will be subject to all of the restrictions applicable to the original Class B ordinary shares under the terms of that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 22, 2021, by and among the Company and its initial shareholders, directors and officers.

The holders of the Founder Shares agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to the initial business combination, the closing price of the Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, capitalization of shares, share dividends, rights issuances, subdivisions reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, and (B) the date following the completion of the initial business combination on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company's shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

 ****

***Private Placement Warrants***

Simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering, the Company consummated the private placement of 11,333,333 private placement warrants (the "***Private Placement Warrants***"), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant with the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $17.0 million.

Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor was added to the proceeds from our initial public offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a business combination by the date by the deadline set forth in the Articles, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable except as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

The Sponsor, subject to limited exceptions, has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination.

***Related Party Loans***

On November 30, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $400,000 in Working Capital Loans. The 2021 Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a business combination. If the Company does not complete a business combination, the 2021 Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a business combination, the Sponsor shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the 2021 Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The 2021 Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the 2021 Note and all other sums payable with regard to the 2021 Note becoming immediately due and payable.

The 2021 Note was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In addition, in order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company's officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required ("***Working Capital Loans***"). If the Company completes a business combination, the Company may repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a business combination, without interest, or, at the lenders' discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. On April 6, 2022, May 31, 2022 and August 31, 2022, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company $150,000, $120,000 and $150,000, respectively, for working capital purposes each of which may be converted into additional private placement warrants, at an exercise price of $1.50 per warrant. On December 28, 2022, the Company issued a working capital loan under an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of up to $654,000 to our sponsor which may be converted by the lenders at their option into additional private placement warrants, at an exercise price of $1.50 per warrant.

On May 26, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $700,000. On August 18, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $800,000, on December 27, 2024, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in the principal amount of $600,000. The notes do not bear interest and are repayable in full upon consummation of the Company's initial business combination. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

 

*Administrative Support Agreement*

Commencing on the date that the Company's securities were first publicly listed through the earlier of the Company's consummation of a business combination and its liquidation, the Company agreed to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor $10,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative and shared personnel support services provided to members of the Management, pursuant to an administrative support agreement.

In addition, the Sponsor, officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on the Company's behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by the Company to the Sponsor, officers or directors, or the Company's or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account.
