---

On February 27, 2026, Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company ("***Roman***"), ThomasLloyd Climate Solutions B.V., a private company with limited liability (*besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid*), with its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands ("***ThomasLloyd***"), and each of the holders of ThomasLloyd's outstanding ordinary shares as named in the Business Combination Agreement (the "***Sellers***"), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "***Business Combination Agreement***"). TL Topco PLC, a public limited company to be incorporated under the laws of England and Wales ("***PubCo***") and ThomasLloyd Climate Solutions Merger Sub, a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo ("***Merger Sub***" and, together with PubCo, the "***PubCo Parties***" and each, a "***PubCo Party***") will become parties to the Business Combination Agreement following the formation of PubCo. The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the "***Business Combination***") were unanimously approved by the boards of directors of each of Roman and ThomasLloyd. The Business Combination is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026, following the receipt of the requisite approvals of Roman's shareholders and ThomasLloyd's shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.

**Business Combination Agreement**

*The Merger and the Share Exchange*

The Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that at least one day prior to the share exchange described below, Roman will merge with and into Merger Sub (the "***Merger***"), with Merger Sub continuing as the surviving company after the Merger (the "***Surviving Company***") and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. The effective time of the Merger is referred to as the "***Merger Effective Time***." As a result of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Roman's Class A ordinary shares, $0.0001 par value (each a "***Roman Class A Share***") and Roman's Class B ordinary Shares, $0.0001 par value (each a "***Roman Class B Share***" and, together with Roman Class A Share, "***Roman Ordinary Shares***") other than the Roman Dissenting Shares (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and converted into and exchanged for the right to receive one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share (as defined below), and each issued and outstanding Roman Warrant (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) will become one warrant to purchase one PubCo Class A Ordinary Share ("***PubCo Warrant***"), with PubCo issuing a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Warrants in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Exercise of each Roman Warrant will be handled pursuant to an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement, entered into by each of PubCo, the Surviving Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, amending the Warrant Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, PubCo will assume the obligations of the Surviving Company under the Warrant Agreement. Each Roman Dissenting Share shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Merger Effective Time, will not be entitled to receive the applicable PubCo Shares (as defined below) and will be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Roman Dissenting Share held by them as determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act.

At least one day following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo will acquire all of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares of ThomasLloyd from the Sellers in exchange for the issuance by PubCo of new ordinary shares, par value $0.01 per share, consisting of Class A ordinary shares ("***PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares***") and Class B ordinary shares ***(***"***PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares***" and, together with the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, the "***PubCo Shares***"). The effective time of such share exchange is referred to as the "***Share Exchange Effective Time***" and such share exchange is referred to as the "***Share Exchange***." The Share Exchange, together with the Merger, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements, are collectively referred to as the "***Transactions***."

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, PubCo will issue to the Sellers in the aggregate, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, with an aggregate value up to an amount equal to the relevant portion of the Share Exchange Aggregate Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement, based on an equity value of $850,000,000), with PubCo allotting and issuing to each Seller, for each ThomasLloyd ordinary share held, a number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and/or PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares, as applicable, equal to the Per Share Exchange Ratio in accordance with the Allocation Schedule (each as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

Following the closing of the Business Combination (the "***Closing***"), in addition to the consideration to be received pursuant to the Share Exchange, if at any time during the period beginning on the date of the Closing (the "***Closing Date***") and ending on the fifth anniversary thereof (the "***Earn-Out Period***"), the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds certain specified price thresholds for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) (each such threshold, an "***Earn-Out Target***"), then within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of such Earn-Out Target, PubCo will issue to the Sellers an aggregate of 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares for each Earn-Out Target achieved, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's pro rata portion of the ThomasLloyd ordinary shares exchanged in the Share Exchange (such PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon achievement of the Earn-Out Targets, the "***Earn-Out Consideration***"). The Earn-Out Targets are: (i) $12.50 per share, (ii) $15.50 per share, (iii) $17.50 per share, (iv) $20.00 per share, (v) $22.50 per share, and (vi) $25.00 per share. The Earn-Out Consideration for each Earn-Out Target is calculated as a separate and distinct target obligation and is payable following the achievement of such target even if such achievements occur concurrently. The aggregate Earn-Out Consideration available to be earned across all Earn-Out Targets is 45,000,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares. If any Earn-Out Target is not satisfied during the Earn-Out Period, the obligations with respect to such Earn-Out Target will terminate. The Earn-Out Consideration and the closing price requirement for each Earn-Out Target are subject to adjustment to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, occurring on or after the effective date of the Business Combination Agreement and prior to the time any such Earn-Out Period is achieved and the Earn-Out Consideration is delivered, if any.

*Roman Shareholder Redemptions*

Roman will provide the holders of Roman Class A Shares, the right to have all or a portion of their Roman Class A Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Business Combination, in accordance with Roman's governing documents, for a per-share price equal to the pro rata portion of the funds then in Roman's trust account (including interest not previously released to pay taxes).

*Representations and Warranties; Covenants*

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants of each of the parties thereto that are customary for transactions of this type, including with respect to the operations of Roman and ThomasLloyd prior to the Closing and the preparation and filing of a registration statement on Form F-4 relating to the Business Combination containing a prospectus and proxy statement (the "***Registration Statement / Proxy Statement***"). In addition, prior to the effectiveness of Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, PubCo will adopt a new equity incentive plan (the "***PubCo Equity Incentive Plan***") and an employee share purchase plan (the "***PubCo Employee Stock Purchase Plan***" or "***PubCo ESPP***", together with the PubCo Equity Incentive Plan, the "***Equity Plan Proposals***"). The PubCo Equity Incentive Plan will provide for the issuance of shares equal to up to 10% of the PubCo Shares on a fully-diluted basis (calculated after giving effect to the Transactions) and will include an annual automatic increase in the share reserve on the first day of each fiscal year, such increase up to 3% of the PubCo Shares on a fully-diluted basis. The PubCo ESPP will provide for the issuance of shares equal to 2% of the PubCo Shares on a fully-diluted basis (calculated after giving effect to the Transactions) and will include an annual automatic increase in the share reserve on the first day of each fiscal year of 1% of the PubCo Shares on a fully-diluted basis.

The Business Combination Agreement also contains obligations of Roman and PubCo to use their commercially reasonable efforts to seek financing agreements for an aggregate of at least $100 million in proceeds through one or more subscription agreements on such terms and conditions therein, and using a placement agent, to be mutually agreed by Roman, PubCo and ThomasLloyd. Each of Roman, PubCo and ThomasLloyd will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other in connection with the arrangement of any PIPE Financing (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

*Governance*

The parties have agreed to take all requisite action such that, effective immediately after the Share Exchange Effective Time, the PubCo board of directors will initially consist of seven (7) directors: (A) one (1) director will be designated by ThomasLloyd; (B) one (1) director will be designated by Roman; (C) one (1) director will be ThomasLloyd's Chief Executive Officer; and (D) four (4) directors will be Independent Directors who are not employed by ThomasLloyd and who are mutually agreeable to Roman and ThomasLloyd; provided, that at least a majority of the PubCo board of directors will qualify as Independent Directors. The initial director designees will hold such office until their respective successors are duly appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal.

*Conditions to Closing*

The obligation of the parties to consummate the Business Combination is subject to certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under applicable antitrust law, (ii) no legal restraint or prohibition issued by any governmental entity enjoining, prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the Business Combination being in effect, (iii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, (iv) receipt of the requisite approvals of Roman's shareholders, (v) the approval for listing of the PubCo Shares on Nasdaq (or other principal market mutually agreed by Roman and ThomasLloyd), and (vi) the PubCo board of directors being constituted as required by the Business Combination Agreement

The obligation of Roman and the PubCo Parties to consummate the Transactions is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) there having been no Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing, (ii) execution and delivery of an officer's certificate by an officer of ThomasLloyd certifying the accuracy of certain conditions, and (iii) receipt of evidence that each of the Terminating Contracts (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) shall be terminated effective as of immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time.

The obligation of ThomasLloyd and the Sellers to consummate the Transactions is also subject to the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) there having been no Roman Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) since the date of the Business Combination Agreement that is continuing, (ii) execution and delivery of an officer's certificate by an officer of Roman certifying the accuracy of certain conditions, (iii) the articles of association of PubCo (the "***PubCo Articles***") having been filed with Companies House, accepted by the registrar and shown as effective on the public register, (iv) the execution and delivery of the registration rights agreement (the "***Registration Rights Agreement***") and lock-up agreement (the "***Lock-Up Agreement***"), and (v) that sponsor support agreement (the "***Sponsor Support Agreement***") has been complied with in all material respects.

*Termination*

The Business Combination Agreement may be terminated under certain circumstances, including (i) by mutual written consent of ThomasLloyd and Roman at any time prior to the Closing, (ii) by either ThomasLloyd or Roman if the Closing has not occurred by August 31, 2026 (the "***Outside Closing Date***") (provided that, if the SEC has not declared the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement effective on or prior to August 31, 2026, the Outside Closing Date shall be automatically extended to November 16, 2026) or the Outside Closing Date shall be extended by a vote of the shareholders of Roman to a date not to exceed December 16, 2027, (iii) by ThomasLloyd or Roman if a governmental authority issues a final and non-appealable order or enacts a law making the Transactions illegal or permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions, (iv) by ThomasLloyd or Roman if the shareholder meeting of Roman has been held and concluded and the shareholder approval of Roman was not obtained, (v) by Roman at any time after May 15, 2026 if ThomasLloyd fails to deliver the required audited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis, and information necessary for the preparation of unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of PubCo within the time period required under the Business Combination Agreement, (vi) by Roman if ThomasLloyd or the PubCo Parties breach any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant in the Business Combination Agreement which has rendered or would reasonably be expected to render the satisfaction of certain closing conditions impossible and such breach cannot be cured or is not cured by the earlier of the Outside Closing Date and thirty (30) days following receipt by ThomasLloyd of written notice from Roman describing the nature of such breach, or (vii) by ThomasLloyd if Roman breaches any of its covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement which has rendered or would reasonably be expected to render the satisfaction of certain closing conditions impossible and such breach cannot be cured or is not cured by the earlier of the Outside Closing Date and thirty (30) days following receipt by Roman of written notice from ThomasLloyd describing the nature of such breach.

If the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated, none of the parties will have any liability or any further obligation under the Business Combination Agreement other than customary confidentiality obligations, except in the case of willful breach or fraud. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if Roman terminates the Business Combination Agreement after June 30, 2026 solely due to ThomasLloyd's failure to deliver the required audited financial statements by June 30, 2026, ThomasLloyd shall pay Roman the portion of Roman's reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or payable to third parties as they relate to the negotiation of the Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and the Business Combination Agreement (the "***Roman Transaction Expenses***"), (ii) if ThomasLloyd fails to consummate the Transactions upon satisfaction of all of the conditions to Closing as set forth in Article XI of the Business Combination Agreement (other than those conditions that by their nature would be satisfied at the Closing) or otherwise terminates the Business Combination Agreement in breach of Article XII of the Business Combination Agreement, provided in each case, that Roman and PubCo are each ready and willing to consummate the Transactions at such time and not in breach of their obligations, ThomasLloyd shall pay Roman the Roman Transaction Expenses plus $8,000,000 as liquidated damages as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, or (iii) if either Roman or ThomasLloyd terminates the Business Combination Agreement because the Closing has not occurred by the Outside Closing Date (provided that such termination right is not available to a party whose failure to fulfill its obligations was the proximate cause of the failure to close), ThomasLloyd shall pay Roman the Roman Transaction Expenses plus $8,000,000 as liquidated damages as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and any related agreements. The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of such agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating such agreement. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Roman, ThomasLloyd, or any other party to the Business Combination Agreement or any related agreement. In particular, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Business Combination Agreement, which were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates, were solely for the benefit of the parties, are subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties (including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties instead of establishing these matters as facts) and are subject to standards of materiality applicable to the parties that may differ from those applicable to investors and security holders. Investors and security holders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Business Combination Agreement and should not rely on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, or any descriptions thereof, as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of any party to the Business Combination Agreement. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may change after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in Roman's public disclosures.

The foregoing description of the Business Combination Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Business Combination Agreement filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

**PubCo Articles of Association**

The articles of association of PubCo (the "***PubCo Articles***") will govern the rights, privileges, and preferences of the holders of PubCo securities after the Share Exchange.

In connection with the Share Exchange, PubCo will issue new PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares. Holders of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares and PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares generally vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, except (i) as otherwise required by applicable law or the PubCo Articles, and (ii) holders of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares may not vote on certain matters including related party transactions involving parties controlled by or under common control with such holders, board remuneration matters, and appointment or reappointment of board members proposed by such holders. Holders of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one (1) vote per Class A Ordinary Share. Holders of PubCo Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to ten (10) votes per PubCo Class B Ordinary Share.

The foregoing description of the PubCo Articles do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the terms and conditions of the form of the PubCo Articles, a copy of which is included as Exhibit A to the Business Combination Agreement (attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto), and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

 ****

***Related Agreements***

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates the execution of various additional agreements and instruments, on or before the Closing, including, among others, the following:

**Sponsor Support Agreement**

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Roman, Roman DBDR Acquisition Sponsor II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "***Sponsor***"), and ThomasLloyd entered into the Sponsor Support Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor has agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement, the Merger, and each other proposal related to the Transactions, and against any alternative transactions or agreements that would impede, hinder, interfere with, delay, postpone, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Transactions, (ii) not redeem any Subject Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) in connection with the Transactions, (iii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination, (iv) be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to its shares in Roman prior to the expiration time of the Sponsor Support Agreement, (v) be subject to the restrictions contemplated by the Lock-Up Agreement, (vi) waive anti-dilution protections with respect to the conversion of Roman Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share ("***Roman Class B Shares***"), (vii) convert each Roman Class B Share into one Roman Class A Share, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Support Agreement, (viii) waive any appraisal rights to dissent from the Transactions, and (viii) not amend, terminate or modify the Insider Letter (as defined in the Sponsor Support Agreement) without ThomasLloyd's prior written consent. PubCo will become a party to the Agreement by executing a signature page thereto.

A copy of the Sponsor Support Agreement is filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description of the Sponsor Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

**Registration Rights Agreement**

In connection with the Transactions, PubCo, Roman, Sponsor, and certain shareholders of Roman and ThomasLloyd will enter into the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, among other things, PubCo will agree that, within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, PubCo will file with the SEC a registration statement registering the resale of certain PubCo Shares held by or issuable to the parties thereto (such registration statement, the "***Resale Registration Statemen***t"), and PubCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Resale Registration Statement declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days following the filing (or ninety (90) days if the SEC reviews the registration statement) and (ii) seven (7) business days after the SEC notifies PubCo that the registration statement will not be reviewed. Such holders will be entitled to customary piggyback registration rights and demand registration rights, including underwritten demands. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for liquidated damages payable to holders if PubCo fails to file or have declared effective the Resale Registration Statement within the required timeframes.

The Registration Rights Agreement amends and restates the registration rights agreement that was entered into by Roman, the Sponsor and B. Riley Securities, a Delaware corporation, in connection with Roman's initial public offering.

The Registration Rights Agreement will terminate on the earlier of (a) the five year anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement or (b) with respect to any holder party thereto, on the date that such holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities (as defined therein).

The foregoing description of the Registration Rights Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto, and the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference.

**Lock-Up Agreement**

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the Sponsor and the ThomasLloyd shareholders will enter into the Lock-Up Agreement with PubCo.

Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsor and certain ThomasLloyd shareholders will agree not to effect any transfer, sale or distribution (except for certain permitted transfers) of any PubCo Shares held by such holder after the Closing until the earlier of 180 days after the Closing Date or the date on which PubCo consummates a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization, or other similar transaction which results in all of the shareholders of PubCo having the right to exchange their PubCo Shares for cash, securities or other property.

The foregoing description of the Lock-Up Agreement is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of Lock-Up Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.3 to this Current Report.

**Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement**

In connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, Roman, ThomasLloyd and B. Riley Securities, Inc. ("***B. Riley***") entered into an Amended and Restated Business Combination Marketing Agreement (the "***A&R BCMA***"), which amended and restated the Business Combination Marketing Agreement, dated December 12, 2024, by and between Roman and B. Riley.

Pursuant to the A&R BCMA, B. Riley will provide certain advisory, marketing and capital markets services to Roman in connection with certain business combinations, including the Business Combination. As consideration for such services, Roman has agreed to pay B. Riley a fee equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds received by Roman from the sale of its equity securities in its initial public offering, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option (the "***Fee***"). In connection with the Business Combination, the Fee will be structured and calculated based on the gross proceeds available to PubCo at the Closing, including proceeds retained from the trust account following the redemption deadline, proceeds from any PIPE Financing and proceeds from any other sources (collectively the "***Gross Proceeds***") as follows: 30% of the Gross Proceeds on the first $10.0 million of Gross Proceeds; 10% of the incremental Gross Proceeds exceeding $10.0 million, up to the total amount of the Fee.

If all or any portion of the Fee is not paid in full at Closing, PubCo is obligated to enter into a committed equity facility (the "***CEF***") with B. Riley or its affiliate immediately upon the Closing, as described below. If the Fee has not been paid in its entirety at Closing or subsequent to the Closing, subject to certain conditions, Roman has agreed to maximize its use of the CEF, subject to customary ownership and volume limitations, and to pay B. Riley 30% of the net proceeds raised under the CEF until the Fee is paid in full. If the Fee has not been paid in full by the twelve-month anniversary of the Closing, PubCo will be required to pay the remaining unpaid balance in cash.

In addition, PubCo has granted B. Riley the right to serve in the following capacities in certain capital markets transactions: (1) as lead distribution agent for any at-the-market offering (with a commission of 2.0% of gross proceeds) for 24 months following the Closing, and (2) until the Fee is paid in full, as joint lead underwriter and joint lead bookrunner for any public offerings (with equal economics to other joint lead underwriters) and placement agent for any private offerings.

The foregoing description of the A&R BCMA is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R BCMA, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.4 to this Current Report.

---

On February 27, 2026, Roman and ThomasLloyd issued a press release announcing the Business Combination. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated by reference herein.

Attached as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein is an investor presentation, dated December 2025. Such investor presentation contains unaudited prospective financial information of ThomasLloyd (the "***Projections***"). ThomasLloyd does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose projections as to future revenues, earnings, financial condition, cash flows or other operating results. The Projections were prepared by ThomasLloyd's management solely for internal use and for use in connection with discussions with certain potential investors in a potential financing transaction.

The Projections were prepared as of a prior date and speak only as of that date. They were based on numerous assumptions and estimates reflecting management's judgment at the time, including, among other things, assumptions regarding market conditions, operating performance, timing and availability of financing (including the assumption that financing of US $30–50 million would be raised prior to January 31, 2026), capital expenditures and other matters. Many of these assumptions are inherently uncertain, are beyond ThomasLloyd's control, and are subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks. Since the date the Projections were prepared, material changes in circumstances, market conditions, strategy, financing assumptions and other factors have occurred, and certain assumptions underlying the Projections are no longer accurate.

The Projections do not reflect subsequent events, updated information or revised assumptions, and have not been updated or revised to reflect current conditions. Neither Roman nor ThomasLloyd makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reasonableness, achievability or reliability of the Projections, and neither Roman nor ThomasLloyd intends to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or reaffirm the Projections to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date they were prepared, except as may be required by applicable law.

The Projections are being furnished to investors with this Form 8-K solely because they were previously made available to certain potential investors in connection with prior discussions regarding a potential financing transaction.

**Committed Equity Facility Term Sheet**

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, Roman, ThomasLloyd and B. Riley entered into a binding term sheet (the "***CEF Term Sheet***") with B. Riley relating to the CEF. Pursuant to the CEF Term Sheet, subject to the consummation of the Business Combination and the execution of definitive documentation, B. Riley will agree to purchase, from time to time during the 36-month commitment period following closing, up to an aggregate of $200.0 million (the "***Aggregate Commitment Amount***") of PubCo's common stock, at a purchase price equal to 97.0% of the volume-weighted average price of PubCo's common stock during a defined pricing period, subject to customary ownership, exchange cap and volume limitations. In consideration for the Investor's commitment, PubCo will agree to pay the Investor a commitment fee of 1.0% of the Aggregate Commitment Amount and to reimburse certain expenses, up to $75,000, not including quarterly legal fees of up to $7,500 in quarters where the CEF is used. If the engagement of a qualified independent underwriter ("***QIU***") is required, PubCo will reimburse B. Riley up to an additional $55,000 for such engagement. The CEF Term Sheet is subject to customary conditions, including the negotiation of a definitive purchase agreement.

**Additional Information about the Business Combination and Where to Find It**

The Business Combination will be submitted to shareholders of Roman for their consideration. PubCo, Roman and ThomasLloyd intend to file a registration statement on Form F-4 with the SEC, which will include preliminary and definitive proxy statements to be distributed to Roman's shareholders in connection with Roman's solicitations of proxies from Roman's shareholders with respect to the Business Combination and other matters to be described in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, as well as the prospectus relating to the offer of the securities to be issued to the shareholders of ThomasLloyd in connection with the completion of the Business Combination.

Before making any voting or investment decision, Roman shareholders, ThomasLloyd shareholders, and other interested persons are urged to read these documents and any amendments thereto, as well as any other relevant documents filed with the SEC by Roman in connection with the Business Combination and other matters to be described in the Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, when they become available because they will contain important information about Roman, ThomasLloyd and the Business Combination. Shareholders will also be able to obtain free copies of the preliminary Registration Statement / Proxy Statement, the definitive Registration Statement / Proxy Statement and other documents filed by Roman with the SEC, once available, without charge, at the SEC's website located at www.sec.gov, or by directing a written request to Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II, 3300 S. Dixie Highway, Suite 179, West Palm Beach, FL 33405.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally are accompanied by words such as "believe," "may," "will," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "expect," "should," "would," "plan," "predict," "potential," "seem," "seek," "future," "outlook" and similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding expectations relating to the Business Combination and other related transactions, including potential benefits, anticipated timing and satisfaction of closing conditions of the Business Combination; the implied equity value of ThomasLloyd; the formation, future financial condition and performance of PubCo; expected financial impacts of the Business Combination, including the amount and timing of the anticipated PIPE raise; the level of redemptions of Roman shareholders; the expected future performance of PubCo; ThomasLloyd's estimates and forecasts of its pipeline projects and market opportunities; ThomasLloyd's anticipated capital expenditures; ThomasLloyd's expectations related to the success of its project development activities; and ThomasLloyd's beliefs regarding its position in energy markets, including with respect to AI and data centers. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and on the current expectations of ThomasLloyd's and Roman's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by an investor as a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction, or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of ThomasLloyd and Roman. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political, and legal conditions; the inability of the parties to successfully or timely consummate the Business Combination and other related transactions, including the risk that any regulatory approvals are not obtained, are delayed or are subject to unanticipated conditions (such as any SEC statements or enforcements or other actions relating to special purpose acquisition companies) that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the Business Combination and other related transactions; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination and other related transactions; risks related to ThomasLloyd, including but not limited to (i) its ability to implement strategy and identify suitable sustainable investment opportunities, (ii) political developments, laws and regulations in areas where ThomasLloyd operates, (iii) increased competition in the industries where ThomasLloyd operates, (iv) supply of natural resources necessary for ThomasLloyd's operations, (v) reliance on third-party supplier and service providers, (vi) the effects of climate change, extreme weather events, and seismic events, and (vii) fluctuations in currency markets. Additional risks related to Roman include those factors discussed in documents Roman has filed or will file with the SEC, together with the risks described in the document entitled "Risk Factors" that has been made available to interested parties concurrent with this Current Report on Form 8-K and also set forth in the section entitled "Risk Factors" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in Roman's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Roman's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and in those documents that Roman has filed, or will file, with the SEC.

If any of these risks materialize or Roman's or ThomasLloyd's assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither Roman nor ThomasLloyd presently know or that Roman and ThomasLloyd currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Roman's and ThomasLloyd's expectations, plans, or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the cautionary statements herein. Roman and ThomasLloyd anticipate that subsequent events and developments will cause Roman's and ThomasLloyd's assessments to change. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Roman's and ThomasLloyd's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements. Neither Roman, ThomasLloyd nor any of their respective affiliates undertake any obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no fraction of a PubCo Share will be issued by PubCo by virtue of this Agreement or the Transactions, and each Person who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a PubCo Share (after aggregating all fractional PubCo Shares that would otherwise be received by such Person) shall instead have the number of PubCo Shares issued to such Person rounded down in the aggregate to the nearest whole PubCo Share.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Termination of Certain Agreements</u>. The Company and the Sellers hereby agree that: (a) the Company Shareholders' Agreement; (b) each other shareholders', voting or similar agreement among the Company and any of the Sellers or among the Sellers with respect to the Company or Company Shares; and (c) any registration rights agreement between the Company and its shareholders, in each case of clauses (a) and (b), as set forth on <u>Company Schedule 2.5</u>, shall be terminated effective as of the Share Exchange Effective Time.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of Roman, Merger Sub, PubCo, any of the Group Companies, and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or other amount payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement any amount required to be deducted or withheld under applicable Tax Law; *provided, however*, that the parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate to eliminate or mitigate any such deductions or withholding Taxes. To the extent that any such amounts are deducted or withheld and remitted to the applicable Authority, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made, and to the extent any such amounts are deducted or withheld from any consideration payable to any Seller, PubCo shall provide any such Seller with proof of payment of such deduction or withholding Taxes to the relevant Authority without undue delay.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.7 <u>PubCo Officers and Directors</u>. The parties hereto will take all requisite action such that, immediately after the Share Exchange Effective Time:

If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest PubCo with full right, title and interest in, to and under, or possession of, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and the Surviving Company, the officers and directors of PubCo are fully authorized in the name and on behalf of the Company and the Surviving Company, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.9 <u>Transaction Expenses</u>. Not less than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (i) Roman shall prepare and deliver to the Company a statement setting forth Roman's good faith determination of Roman Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation, including the respective amounts and wire transfer instructions for the payment of all Roman Transaction Expenses and applicable Tax forms of the payees, and (ii) the Company shall prepare and deliver to Roman a statement setting forth the Company's good faith determination of Company Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date, in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation, including the respective amounts and wire transfer instructions for the payment of all Company Transaction Expenses and applicable Tax forms of the payees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.10 <u>Adjustments to Per Share Exchange Ratio</u>. The Per Share Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, subdivision, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, consolidation, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Shares occurring on or after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Share Exchange Effective Time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.11 <u>Earn-Out</u>. Following the Closing, in addition to the consideration to be received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, if, at any time during Earn-Out Period, (i) the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.50 for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the "<u>First Level Earn-Out Target</u>"), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of the First Level Earn-Out Target, PubCo shall issue 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sellers, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's pro rata portion of the Purchased Shares exchanged thereby in the Share Exchange (such portion, the "<u>Pro Rata Earnout Allocation</u>"), (ii) the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $15.50 for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the "<u>Second Level Earn-Out Target</u>"), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of the Second Level Earn-Out Target, PubCo shall issue 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sellers, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's Pro Rata Earnout Allocation, (iii) the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $17.50 for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the "<u>Third Level Earn-Out Target</u>"), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of the Third Level Earn-Out Target, PubCo shall issue 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sellers, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's Pro Rata Earnout Allocation, (iv) the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $20.00 for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the "<u>Fourth Level Earn-Out Target</u>"), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of the Fourth Level Earn-Out Target, PubCo shall issue 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sellers, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's Pro Rata Earnout Allocation, (v) the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $22.50 for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the "<u>Fifth Level Earn-Out Target</u>"), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of the Fifth Level Earn-Out Target, PubCo shall issue 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sellers, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's Pro Rata Earnout Allocation, and (vi) the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $25.00 for any twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days (the "<u>Sixth Level Earn-Out Target</u>" and, together with the First Level Earn-Out Target, Second Level Earn-Out Target, Third Level Earn-Out Target, Fourth Level Earn-Out Target and Fifth Level Earn-Out Target, the "<u>Earn-Out Targets</u>"), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Trading Days following the achievement of the Sixth Level Earn-Out Target, PubCo shall issue 7,500,000 PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares to the Sellers, in an amount of shares equal to each Seller's Pro Rata Earnout Allocation. For the avoidance of doubt, the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the achievement of each such Earn-Out Target shall be calculated as separate and distinct target obligations and payable following the achievement of such targets even if such achievements occur concurrently (e.g., if the closing price of the PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares were to jump in price from under $12.50 to $17.50 and subsequently trade such that the Third Level Earn-Out Target was achieved prior to the First Level Earn-Out Target or Second Level Earn-Out Target having previously independently been achieved, the aggregate number of PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares issuable would be 22,500,000 in satisfaction of each of the First Level Earn-Out Target, the Second Level Earn-Out Target, and the Third Level Earn-Out Target. The PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon achievement of the Earn-Out Targets are referred to as the "<u>Earn-Out Consideration</u>". If any Earn-Out Target shall not be satisfied during the Earn-Out Period, the obligations in this <u>Section 2.11</u> with respect to such Earn-Out Target shall terminate and no longer apply. The Earn-Out Consideration and the closing price requirement for each Earn-Out Target shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to PubCo Class A Ordinary Shares, occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the time any such Earn-Out Target is achieved and the Earn-Out Consideration is delivered, if any.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.12 <u>Dissenter's Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) To the extent available under the Cayman Companies Act, all Roman Ordinary Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time and that are held by any Roman Shareholder who shall have validly exercised and not effectively waived, withdrawn, forfeited, failed to perfect or otherwise lost their rights to dissent from the Merger, in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (the "<u>Roman Dissenting Shares</u>" and holders of Roman Dissenting Shares being referred to as "<u>Roman Dissenting Shareholders</u>") shall be cancelled and cease to exist at the Merger Effective Time, shall not be entitled to receive the applicable PubCo Shares under <u>Section 2.2</u> and shall instead be entitled to receive only the payment of the fair value of such Roman Dissenting Shares held by them as determined in accordance with Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Roman Ordinary Shares held by Roman Dissenting Shareholders who shall have failed to exercise or who shall have effectively waived, withdrawn, forfeited, failed to perfect or otherwise lost their dissenter rights under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act shall thereupon: (i) not be deemed to be Roman Dissenting Shares; and (ii) be cancelled and cease to exist and shall instead be entitled to receive, at the later of the Merger Effective Time and the date of loss of such status as Roman Dissenting Shares, the right to receive the applicable PubCo Shares under <u>Section 2.2</u>.

All ownership interests of the Private Funds that have been and are being offered for sale have been exempt from registration under the Securities Act, including that the Group Companies and General Partner had a reasonable belief that each Investor at the time of any purchase of interests was an accredited investor as such term is used in the Securities Act, and are exempt from registration or qualification under the securities laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which such shares or other ownership interests have been or are being offered for sale, and no action has been taken by the Private Funds or any Authority to revoke, withdraw, or rescind any such registration or qualification. No Private Fund is, or at any time since its inception has been, required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

No Private Fund is the subject of any audit or investigation regarding any Tax for which notice has been received from a Taxing Authority by any of the Group Companies, and the Group Companies have not been notified by a Taxing Authority that any Private Fund has been selected for any such Tax audit or investigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(o) The value of each Private Fund's net assets has been determined since the inception date of such Private Fund and is being determined using portfolio valuation methods that comply with the methods then in effect or currently in effect, as applicable, as described in the applicable written compliance policies, Governing Documents applicable to such Private Fund, and any requirements imposed under Laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.8 <u>Compliance with Laws</u>. Roman currently conducts and, since July 25, 2024, has been in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Laws and Orders. Since July 25, 2024, (i) no event has occurred or circumstance exists that (with or without notice or due to lapse of time) would reasonably constitute or result in a material violation by Roman of, or failure on the part of Roman to comply in all material respects with, or any liability suffered or incurred by Roman in respect of any material violation of or material noncompliance with, any Laws, Orders, or policies of any Authority that are or were applicable to Roman or the conduct or operation of its business or the ownership or use of any of its assets, and (ii) no Action is pending, or to the Knowledge of Roman, threatened, alleging any such violation or noncompliance by Roman.

The Trust Agreement is valid and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions, and has not been amended or modified. There are no separate agreements, side letters, or other agreements or understandings (whether written or unwritten, express or implied) that would cause the description of the Trust Agreement in the Roman SEC Documents to be inaccurate in any material respect or that would entitle any Person (other than Roman Shareholders holding Roman Class A Shares sold in Roman's IPO who shall have elected to redeem their Roman Class A Shares pursuant to the Roman Articles) to any portion of the proceeds in the Trust Account. Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account may be released except in accordance with the Trust Agreement and the Roman Articles. Roman has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in material default or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with, the Trust Agreement, and, to the Knowledge of Roman, no event has occurred that, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material default thereunder.

There are no outstanding or unresolved written comments from the SEC or Nasdaq with respect to any Roman SEC Document that have not been fully responded to and resolved, and Roman has not received any written notice of any pending formal investigation by the SEC or Nasdaq with respect to the Roman SEC Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Roman SEC Documents were, and the Additional Roman SEC Documents will be, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as the case may be, and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Roman SEC Documents did not, and the Additional Roman SEC Documents will not, at the time they were or are filed (or if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date of this Agreement or the Closing Date, then on the date of such filing), as the case may be, with the SEC, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Each director and executive officer of Roman has filed with the SEC on a timely basis all statements required with respect to Roman by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. The Public Certifications are, or will be, each true and correct as of their respective dates of filing. As used in this <u>Section 4.10(b)</u>, the term "file" shall be broadly construed to include any manner in which a document or information is furnished, supplied, or otherwise made available to the SEC or Nasdaq.

The audit reports on the most recent audited Roman Financial Statements do not contain an adverse opinion, disclaimer of opinion or qualification as to scope and do not contain any "going concern" explanatory paragraph, except as disclosed in the Roman SEC Documents. Roman's independent registered public accounting firm is, and was during the periods covered by its reports, duly registered with the PCAOB, independent as required by the Securities Act and Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and PCAOB, and has not resigned or been dismissed as a result of any disagreement within the meaning of Item 304 of Regulation S-K. Since the IPO, Roman has not identified and does not reasonably expect to be required to make any restatement of any financial statements included in the Roman SEC Documents, except as disclosed in the Roman SEC Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Roman has no off-balance sheet arrangements that are not disclosed in the Roman SEC Documents. No financial statements of any Person other than those of Roman are required by U.S. GAAP to be included in the Roman Financial Statements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The issued and outstanding Roman Public Units, Roman Class A Shares, and Roman Public Warrants are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and are listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbols "DRDBU," "DRDB," and "DRDBW," respectively. Since the IPO, Roman has complied in all material respects with the applicable listing and corporate governance rules and regulations of Nasdaq. There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of Roman, threatened against Roman by Nasdaq or the SEC with respect to any intention by such entity to deregister the Roman Public Units, Roman Class A Shares, or the Roman Public Warrants or terminate the listing of Roman on Nasdaq. Roman has not received any written notice from Nasdaq of non-compliance with listing standards, delisting, or any deficiency that remains unresolved as of the date hereof. Except in connection with the Transactions, none of Roman or any of its Affiliates has taken any action in an attempt to terminate the registration of the Roman Public Units, Roman Class A Shares, or Roman Public Warrants under the Exchange Act. As of the date hereof, Roman satisfies the applicable continued listing standards of Nasdaq, except as disclosed in the Roman SEC Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Except as not required in reliance on exemptions from various reporting requirements by virtue of Roman's status as an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 ("<u>JOBS Act</u>"), Roman has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act). Such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material information relating to Roman is made known to Roman's principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within the entity, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared. Such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting Roman's principal executive officer and principal financial officer to material information required to be included in Roman's periodic reports required under the Exchange Act. Since the consummation of the IPO, except as disclosed in the Roman SEC Documents filed with or furnished to the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement, Roman has established and maintained a system of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act) sufficient to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of Roman's financial reporting and the preparation of the Roman Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Since its incorporation, except as disclosed in the Roman SEC Documents filed with or furnished to the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement, Roman has not received any written notification of any (a) "significant deficiency" in the internal controls over financial reporting of Roman, (b) "material weakness" in the internal controls over financial reporting of Roman or (c) fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees of Roman who have a significant role in the internal controls over financial reporting of Roman.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) There are no outstanding loans or other extensions of credit made by Roman to any executive officer (as defined in Rule 3b-7 under the Exchange Act) or director of Roman in their capacity as such, and Roman has not taken any action prohibited by Section 402 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary expressed or implied in this Agreement, neither party hereto shall be required to provide the access described above or disclose any information to the other party if doing so is, in such party's reasonable judgment, reasonably likely to (i) result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine, or similar privilege, (ii) violate any applicable Law to which it is subject, or (iii) violate any legally binding obligation of the Company with respect to confidentiality, non-disclosure, or privacy; <u>provided</u> that the Company and Roman shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause such information to be provided in a manner that would not result in such waiver or violation.

No notice pursuant to this <u>Section 7.4</u> shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto, or any condition to the obligations of any party hereto.

During the Interim Period, and, in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to <u>ARTICLE XII</u>, for a period of two (2) years after such termination, the Recipient shall, and shall instruct its Representatives to, use Confidential Information solely for the purpose of consummating the Transactions, and, in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, shall (i) undertake commercially reasonable precautions to safeguard and protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information; (ii) not disclose or cause to be disclosed in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, Confidential Information, except as is expressly permitted under this Agreement; and (iii) except as permitted by <u>Section 7.8(c)</u> below, disclose the Confidential Information only to its Representatives who have been advised by the Recipient of the existence of this <u>Section 7.8</u> and have been instructed to comply with the provisions of this <u>Section 7.8</u>, or are otherwise subject to a confidentiality agreement with the Disclosing Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The term "<u>Confidential Information</u>" means all documents, information (whether oral, written, or electronic), interpretations, and other materials about the Disclosing Party and its Subsidiaries or the Disclosing Party's or its Subsidiaries' business furnished by the Disclosing Party to the Recipient or its Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions, in each case, that are non-public, confidential, or proprietary, including without limitation, non-public, confidential, or proprietary information related to accounting, financial matters, tax, legal and operational information, proprietary oral, written, or electronic communications, confidential memoranda, presentations, notes, reports, analyses, compilations, forecasts, data, studies, or other documents or materials prepared by the Disclosing Party or its Representatives, or prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives to the extent based on the information or materials referenced in this first sentence of <u>Section 7.8(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this <u>Section 7.8</u>, the Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information in the event that the Recipient or its Representatives are required (as determined in good faith by the Recipient or such Representative upon the advice of counsel) to disclose all or any portion of the Confidential Information by any applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules or by request of any Authority (whether by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal or regulatory proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or other similar process). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any such request made under applicable Law, to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by applicable Law, the Recipient agrees to promptly notify the Disclosing Party of such request so that the Disclosing Party may intervene (at the Disclosing Party's sole cost and expense) to take legally available steps to resist or narrow such request, including the Disclosing Party's efforts to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (at the Disclosing Party's sole cost and expense). In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Recipient will not oppose and, to the extent requested by the Disclosing Party, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Disclosing Party (at the Disclosing Party's sole cost and expense) with regard to any action by the Disclosing Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Confidential Information, or to resist or narrow the request or requirement for information.

The Company hereby agrees, except in connection with or support of the Transactions and as contemplated by this Agreement, while any of them are in possession of such material nonpublic information, during the Interim Period, none of such Persons shall, directly or indirectly (through its Affiliates or otherwise), acquire, offer or propose to acquire, agree to acquire, sell or transfer or offer or propose to sell or transfer any securities of Roman, communicate such information to any other Person or cause or encourage any Person to do any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The parties hereto agree that for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall, and shall cause PubCo to, maintain in effect, in favor of any individual who, at or prior to the Closing, was a director or officer of Roman, Merger Sub or any Group Company, as the case may be, or who, at the request of Roman, Merger Sub or the Company, as the case may be, served as a director, officer, manager, trustee or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, pension or other employee benefit plan or enterprise (each, together with such Person's heirs, executors or administrators, a "<u>D&O Indemnified Party</u>"), the exculpation, indemnification and advancement of expenses provisions of Roman's, Merger Sub's and the Group Companies' respective organizational documents as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date or in any indemnification agreements of Roman, Merger Sub or the applicable Group Company, on the one hand, with any D&O Indemnified Party, on the other hand, as in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date, (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall provide for the advancement of reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses of any such Person as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (including in connection with any Action brought by any such Person to enforce his or her rights under this <u>Section 7.9</u>)) and the parties hereto shall, and shall cause PubCo to, not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provisions in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any D&O Indemnified Party; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses in respect of any Actions pending or asserted or any claim made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Action or resolution of such claim. From and after the Closing Date, PubCo shall honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained in this <u>Section 7.9</u> without limit as to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) At or prior to the Closing, each of Roman and the Company shall purchase a "tail" directors' and officers' liability insurance policy (the "<u>D&O Tail</u>") in respect of acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing covering each such Person that is currently covered by a directors' and officers' liability insurance policy of Roman and the Company, respectively, on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than those of such applicable policy in effect on the date of this Agreement for the six (6) year period following the Closing; provided that in no event shall Roman and the Company, respectively, be required to expend on the premium thereof in excess of 350% of the aggregate annual premiums currently payable by Roman and the Company, respectively, with respect to such current policies (the "<u>Premium Cap</u>"); provided, further, that if such minimum coverage under any such D&O Tail is or becomes not available at the Premium Cap, then any such D&O Tail shall contain the maximum coverage available at the Premium Cap. From and after the Merger Effective Time, Roman shall maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect for its full term and cause all obligations thereunder to be honored by PubCo and the Surviving Company, as applicable, and no other party shall have any further obligation to purchase or pay for such insurance pursuant to this <u>Section 7.9(b)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The rights of each D&O Indemnified Party hereunder shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the organizational documents of Roman, Merger Sub, or the Company, any other indemnification arrangement, any Law or otherwise. The obligations of Roman and the Company under this <u>Section 7.9(c)</u> shall not be terminated or modified after the Closing in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party without the consent of such D&O Indemnified Party. The provisions of this <u>Section 7.9</u> shall survive the Closing and expressly are intended to benefit, and are enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, each of whom is an intended third party beneficiary of this <u>Section 7.9.</u>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) If Roman or, after the Closing, PubCo or the Surviving Company, or any of their respective successors or assigns: (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger; or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of PubCo or the Surviving Company, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in this <u>Section 7.9</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither Roman, PubCo nor Merger Sub shall (and no such Person shall permit or cause any of its Affiliates, Subsidiaries or Representatives to) take or fail to take any action, or become obligated to take or fail to take any action, which action or failure could reasonably expected to prevent or impede the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from qualifying for the Intended U.S. Tax Treatment. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that each has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and Tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Each of Roman, PubCo and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other parties to this Agreement in writing if, before the Closing Date, any such party knows or has reason to believe that the Transactions would not qualify for the Intended U.S. Tax Treatment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) From and after the Closing, the parties hereto shall cooperate in connection with Tax compliance matters, including any reasonable requests from any Pre-Closing Roman Holders in connection with matters relating to Roman's (or, following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo's) U.S. federal tax classification as a "passive foreign investment company" or "controlled foreign corporation" for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. PubCo shall, if applicable, following a written request from a Pre-Closing Roman Holder, use commercially reasonable efforts to timely provide to such Pre-Closing Roman Holders (i) a PFIC Annual Information Statement to enable such holders to make or maintain a "Qualifying Electing Fund" election under Section 1295 of the Code for any such taxable period, and (ii) information to enable such holders to report their allocable share of income under Sections 951 and 951A of the Code for any such taxable period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) All Transfer Taxes shall be paid by PubCo. After the Closing Date, PubCo will prepare and file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, and, if required by applicable Law, the Company equityholders and PubCo will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate and join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation, as applicable. Each party hereto shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide certificates or forms, and timely execute any Tax Return, that are necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption for (or reduction in) any Transfer Tax.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.11 <u>Litigation</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.4 <u>Frustration of Conditions</u>. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no party hereto may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this <u>ARTICLE XI</u> to be satisfied if such failure was caused by the failure of such party or its Affiliates failure to comply with or perform any of its covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.5 <u>Waiver of Conditions</u>. Upon the occurrence of the Closing, any condition set forth in this <u>ARTICLE XI</u> that was not satisfied as of the Closing shall be deemed to have been waived as of and from the Closing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) In the event that the Closing has not occurred by August 31, 2026 (the "<u>Outside Closing Date</u>") (<u>provided</u> that, (i) if the SEC has not declared the Registration Statement effective on or prior to August 31, 2026, the Outside Closing Date shall be automatically extended to November 16, 2026 and (ii) if the Company provides written notice to Roman with regards to a Roman Extension Proposal as set forth in <u>Section 7.17</u> and a written commitment to Roman to pay the Extension Expense as set forth in <u>Section 13.5</u>, in each case, by November 16, 2026, the Outside Closing Date shall be automatically extended to the Extended Roman Business Closing Date as provided in the Roman Extension Proposal), then each of Roman and the Company shall have the right, at its sole option, to terminate this Agreement. Such right may be exercised by Roman or the Company, as the case may be, giving written notice to the other parties at any time after the Outside Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to terminate this Agreement under this <u>Section 12.1(a)</u> shall not be available if the failure by the party seeking to terminate this Agreement to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the proximate cause of the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Closing Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) In the event an Authority shall have issued an Order or enacted a Law, having the effect of making the Transactions illegal or permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Transactions, which Order or Law is final and non-appealable, Roman or the Company shall have the right, at its sole option, at any time prior to the Closing to terminate this Agreement without liability to any other party by giving written notice to such other parties; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this <u>Section 12.1(b)</u> shall not be available to Roman or the Company if the failure of such Person to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the proximate cause of such Law or Order.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by the mutual written consent of the Company and Roman.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Merger Effective Time by the Company or Roman by written notice to the other parties if the Roman Shareholder Meeting has been held (subject to any adjournment or postponement thereof), has concluded, the Roman Shareholders have duly voted, and the Roman Shareholder Approval was not obtained at the Roman Shareholder Meeting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) This Agreement may be terminated at any time after May 15, 2026 by Roman by written notice to the other parties if the Company fails to deliver the Company PCAOB Audited Financial Statements required by <u>Section 7.6(a)(i)</u>, the management's discussion and analysis required by <u>Section 7.6(a)(ii),</u> and all information, assistance, and cooperation reasonably necessary for the preparation of unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the PubCo required by <u>Section 7.6(a)(iii)</u>. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Roman's right to terminate under this Section due to the Company's failure to deliver the information required under <u>Section 7.6(a)(ii)</u> or <u>Section 7.6(a)(iii)</u> shall only be available if (x) Roman has provided all the information reasonably required by the Company to fulfill its obligation under <u>Section 7.6(a)(iii)</u>, including with respect to pro forma financial within a sufficient time frame for the Company to be able to fulfill its obligations, and (y) the Company has not delivered to Roman written notice of a breach by Roman of any of its covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained herein, and such breach cannot be cured or has not been cured by thirty (30) days following receipt by Roman of such notice.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.2 <u>Termination Upon Default</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Roman may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other parties at any time prior to the Merger Effective Time, without prejudice to any rights or obligations Roman may have: (x) if the Company or PubCo Parties shall have breached any representation, warranty, agreement or covenant contained herein which has rendered or would reasonably be expected to render the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in <u>Section 11.2(a)</u> or <u>Section 11.2(b)</u> impossible and (y) such breach cannot be cured or is not be cured by the earlier of the Outside Closing Date and thirty (30) days following receipt by the Company of a written notice from Roman describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach; *provided, however*, that the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available to Roman if Roman is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The Company may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other parties at any time prior to the Merger Effective Time, without prejudice to any rights or obligations the Company and the PubCo Parties may have, if: (i) Roman shall have breached any of its covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties contained herein, which has rendered or would reasonably be expected to render the satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in <u>Section 11.3(a)</u> or <u>Section 11.3(b)</u> impossible; and (ii) such breach cannot be cured or is not be cured by the earlier of the Outside Closing Date and thirty (30) days following receipt by Roman of a written notice from the Company describing in reasonable detail the nature of such breach; *provided, however*, that the right to terminate this Agreement shall not be available to the Company if the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.3 <u>Effect of Termination</u>. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE XII</u>, this Agreement shall become void and be of no further force or effect, without any liability on the part of any party hereto (or any shareholder, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, agent, consultant or other Representative of such party) to any other party hereto or any other Person; <u>provided</u> that, no such termination shall relieve any party from liability arising out of or incurred as a result of the willful breach by such party of this Agreement or such party's fraud. The provisions of <u>Section 7.8</u>, this <u>Section 12.3</u>, and <u>ARTICLE XIII</u>, and any other Section or Article of this Agreement which is required to survive in order to give appropriate effect to <u>Section 7.8</u>, this <u>Section 12.3</u>, and <u>ARTICLE XIII</u>, shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to this <u>ARTICLE XII</u> and remain in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) if Roman terminates this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 12.1(e)</u> after June 30, 2026, solely in the event that the Company has failed to deliver the Company PCAOB Audited Financial Statements required by <u>Section 7.6(a)(i)</u> by June 30, 2026, the Company shall pay Roman the portion (and only such portion) of the Roman Transaction Expenses that are reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or payable to third parties (it being understood and agreed that all fees and expenses of Roman's legal counsel and any local or other counsel retained by Roman shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this <u>Section 12.3</u>) as they relate to the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions contemplated herein and therein as liquidated damages, (b) if the Company fails to consummate the Transactions upon satisfaction of all of the conditions to Closing set forth in <u>ARTICLE XI</u> (other than those conditions that by their nature would be satisfied at the Closing and those conditions that may be waived by Roman) or otherwise terminates the Agreement in breach of this <u>ARTICLE XII</u>, provided in each case, that Roman and PubCo are each ready and willing to consummate the Transactions at such time, the Company shall pay Roman the portion (and only such portion) of the Roman Transaction Expenses that are reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or payable to third parties (it being understood and agreed that all fees and expenses of Roman's legal counsel and any local or other counsel retained by Roman shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this <u>Section 12.3</u>) as they relate to the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions contemplated herein and therein plus $8,000,000 as liquidated damages or, (c) if either Roman or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to <u>Section 12.1(a)</u>, the Company shall pay Roman the portion (and only such portion) of the Roman Transaction Expenses that are reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses paid or payable to third parties (it being understood and agreed that all fees and expenses of Roman's legal counsel and any local or other counsel retained by Roman shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this <u>Section 12.3</u>) as they relate to the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the Transactions contemplated herein and therein plus $8,000,000 as liquidated damages.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.2 <u>Amendments; No Waivers; Remedies</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) This Agreement cannot be amended, except by a writing signed by each party hereto, and cannot be terminated orally or by course of conduct. Any purported amendment or modification of any provision hereof that does not comply with this <u>Section 13.2</u> shall be null and void. No provision hereof can be waived, except by a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be enforced, and any such waiver shall apply only in the particular instance in which such waiver shall have been given.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Neither any failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or in requiring satisfaction of any condition herein nor any course of dealing shall constitute a waiver of or prevent any party hereto from enforcing any right or remedy or from requiring satisfaction of any condition. No notice to or demand on a party hereto waives or otherwise affects any obligation of that party or impairs any right of the party giving such notice or making such demand, including any right to take any action without notice or demand not otherwise required by this Agreement. No exercise of any right or remedy with respect to a breach of this Agreement shall preclude exercise of any other right or remedy, as appropriate to make the aggrieved party whole with respect to such breach, or subsequent exercise of any right or remedy with respect to any other breach.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon any party hereto, and the exercise by a party hereto of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Transactions) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to obtain an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties hereto have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.3 <u>Arm's Length Bargaining; No Presumption Against Drafter</u>. This Agreement has been negotiated at arm's-length by parties of equal bargaining strength, each represented by counsel and having participated in the drafting of this Agreement. This Agreement creates no fiduciary or other special relationship between the parties, and no such relationship otherwise exists. No presumption in favor of or against any party hereto in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof shall be made based upon which Person might have drafted this Agreement or such provision.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.4 <u>Publicity</u>. Except as required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules, the parties hereto agree that neither they nor their respective Representatives shall, prior to the Closing, issue any press release or make any other public disclosure concerning the Transactions without the prior approval of the other parties hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by any party. If a party hereto is required to make such a disclosure as required by applicable Law or applicable stock exchange rules, the party making such determination will, if practicable in the circumstances, use reasonable commercial efforts to allow the other parties hereto reasonable time to comment on such disclosure in advance of its issuance and shall consider such comments in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may make announcements regarding this Agreement and the Transactions consisting solely of information contained in and otherwise consistent with any mutually agreed press release or public announcement previously made public without breach of this <u>Section 13.4</u> (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Registration Statement and Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the signing Form 8-K pursuant to <u>Section 7.5</u>) to their directors, officers, employees, service providers, other material business relationships and other interested parties without the consent of the other parties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.5 <u>Expenses</u>. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the payment of any filing fees with the SEC relating to the Offer Documents shall be borne by Roman. If the Closing does not take place, each party hereto shall be responsible for its own expenses. Upon the Closing, all Transaction Expenses shall be paid and/or reimbursed by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Roman closing cash and the Trust Account, and to the extent such funds are exhausted consistent with the terms of this Agreement, will be paid, or caused to be paid, by PubCo. In the event of a Roman Extension Proposal in accordance with <u>Section 7.17</u>, the Company shall (i) deposit, promptly following the approval of the Roman Extension Proposal, the agreed-upon Roman Extension Funding Amount into the Trust Account on monthly basis for each one-month extension until the earlier of (i) the Closing and (ii) the Extended Roman Business Combination Date and (ii) pay, or cause to be paid, when billed, all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Roman in connection with the Roman Extension Proposal and the extension period (such costs and expenses, collectively, the "<u>Extension Expenses</u>"). The Extension Expenses shall include: (A) all reasonable and document out-of-pocket third-party costs and expenses incurred by Roman in connection with the meeting of Roman's shareholders to approve the Roman Extension Proposal, including the costs of preparing, filing and mailing a proxy statement in connection therewith; (B) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Roman's legal counsel and any other legal advisors retained by Roman in connection with the extension (it being understood and agreed that all fees and expenses of Roman's legal counsel and any local or other counsel retained by Roman shall be deemed reasonable for purposes of this <u>Section 13.5</u>); (C) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of Roman's auditors in connection with the extension; and (D) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses for the operation of Roman incurred in the ordinary course of business during the extension period, including legal fees, auditor fees, transfer agent fees, trustee fees, printer fees, and other similar operational expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.6 <u>No Assignment or Delegation</u>. No party hereto may assign any right or delegate any obligation hereunder, including by merger, consolidation, operation of law or otherwise, without the written consent of the other party. Any purported assignment or delegation without such consent shall be void, in addition to constituting a material breach of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.7 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.8 <u>Waiver of Jury Trial</u>. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR UNDER ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO OR ANY FINANCING IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES HERETO EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS <u>SECTION 13.8</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.9 <u>Submission to Jurisdiction</u>. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware) (or any appellate courts thereof), for the purposes of any Action (a) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Agreement or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Action in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Action has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Action (i) arising under this Agreement or under any Ancillary Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this <u>Section 13.9</u> for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any Action commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Action is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party's respective address set forth in <u>Section 13.1</u> shall be effective service of process for any such Action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.10 <u>Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures</u>. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party hereto of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party hereto of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted (including scanned .pdf image) signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties hereto. No party shall raise the use of email to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of email as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a Contract and each party forever waives any such defense. The words "execution," "signed," "signature," and words of like import in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement or the other Ancillary Agreements shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, "pdf", "tif" or "jpg") and other electronic signatures (including, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Delaware Uniform Electronic Transactions Act and any other applicable law. Minor variations in the form of the signature page, including footers from earlier versions of this Agreement or any such other document, shall be disregarded in determining the party's intent or the effectiveness of such signature.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.11 <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement, together with the Ancillary Agreements, sets forth the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements related thereto (whether written or oral), all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement may be explained or qualified by any agreement, negotiations, understanding, discussion, conduct or course of conduct or by any trade usage. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, there is no condition precedent to the effectiveness of any provision hereof or thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.12 <u>Severability</u>. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. The parties hereto shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.13 <u>Further Assurances</u>. Each party hereto shall execute and deliver such documents and take such action, as may reasonably be considered within the scope of such party's obligations hereunder, necessary to effectuate the Transactions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.14 <u>Third Party Beneficiaries</u>. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties and their permitted assigns and nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties and such permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder, and except as provided in <u>Sections 7.8</u>, <u>7.9</u> and <u>Section 13.16</u>, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof confers any benefit or right upon or may be enforced by any Person not a signatory hereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.15 <u>Waiver</u>. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Roman, dated December 12, 2024 (the "<u>IPO Prospectus</u>"). The Company and each of the Sellers has read the IPO Prospectus and understands that Roman has established the Trust Account for the benefit of the public shareholders of Roman and the underwriters of the IPO pursuant to the Trust Agreement and that Roman may disburse monies from the Trust Account only for the purposes set forth in the Trust Agreement. For and in consideration of Roman agreeing to enter into this Agreement, the Company, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and its and their Representatives, hereby (a) agrees that it does not now and shall not at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with Roman regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the "<u>Released Claims</u>"), (b) irrevocably waives any Released Claims that it may have against the monies in the Trust Account now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement, and (c) agrees that it will not seek recourse against the monies in the Trust Account for any reason provided, however, that the foregoing waiver will not limit or prohibit the Company, from pursuing a claim against Roman or any other Person for legal relief against monies outside the Trust Account or other assets of Roman held outside of the Trust Account or for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the Transactions, including a claim against Roman to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.16 <u>Non-Recourse</u>. This Agreement may be enforced only against, and any dispute, claim, controversy or other Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the Transactions may be brought only against, the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth in this Agreement with respect to such party. No Person who is not a party, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, founder, incorporator, member, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney, advisor, lender or Representative or Affiliate of any named party to this Agreement (which Persons are intended third party beneficiaries of this <u>Section 13.16</u>) shall have any liability (whether in contract or tort, at law or in equity or otherwise, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any one or more of the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations or liabilities of such named party or for any dispute, claim, controversy or other Action based on, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the Transactions, and, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, each party hereby waives and releases all such causes of action against any such non-party Persons.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.17 <u>Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties</u>.

8.2 The Board may, at any time after the allotment of any share but before any person has been entered in
the Register, recognise a renunciation by the allottee in favour of some other person and accord to the allottee of a share a right to
effect such renunciation and/or allow the rights to be represented to be one or more participating securities, in each case upon the subject
to such terms and conditions as the Board may think fit to impose.

**9.** **Redeemable shares** 

Subject to the Companies Acts and to any rights attaching to existing shares, any share may be issued which can be redeemed or is liable to be redeemed at the option of the Company or the holder.

Such terms and conditions shall apply to the relevant shares as if the same were set out in these Articles.

**10.** **Pari Passu Issues** 

If new shares are created or issued which rank equally with any other existing shares, or the Company purchases any of its own shares, the rights of the existing shares will not be regarded as changed or abrogated unless the terms of the existing shares expressly say otherwise.

**11.** **Variation of rights** 

11.1 Subject to the Companies Acts, the rights attached to any class of shares can be varied or abrogated in
such manner (if any) as may be provided by those rights; with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than three-quarters in

a special resolution passed at a separate meeting of the holders of the relevant class of shares known as a class meeting.

11.2 The provisions of this Article will apply to any variation or abrogation of rights of shares forming
part of a class. Each part of the class which is being treated differently is treated as a separate class in applying this Article.

to every class meeting except that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the quorum at every such meeting shall not be less than two persons holding or representing by proxy at

shares); and

involves a variation or abrogation of class rights.

**12.** **Rights deemed not varied** 

Unless otherwise expressly provided by the rights attached to any class of shares, those rights shall be deemed not to be varied by the purchase by the Company of any of its own shares or the holding of such shares as treasury shares.

**14.** **Trusts not recognised** 

Except as otherwise expressly provided by these Articles, required by law or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Company shall not recognise any person as holding any share on any trust, and the Company shall not be bound by or required in any way to recognise (even when having notice of it) any equitable, contingent, future, partial or other claim to or interest in any share other than an absolute right of the holder of the whole of the share.

**15.** **Uncertified shares** 

15.1 Under and subject to the uncertificated securities rules, the Board may permit title to shares of any
class to be evidenced otherwise than by certificate and title to shares of such a class to be transferred by means of a relevant system
and may make arrangements for a class of shares (if all shares of that class are in all respects identical) to become a participating
class. Title to shares of a particular class may only be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate where that class of shares is at the
relevant time a participating class. The Board may also, subject to compliance with the uncertificated securities rules, determine at
any time that title to any class of shares may from a date specified by the Board no longer be evidenced otherwise than by a certificate
or that title to such a class shall cease to be transferred by means of any particular relevant system.

15.2 In relation to a class of shares which is a participating class and for so long as it remains a participating
class, no provision of these Articles shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is inconsistent in
any respect with:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the holding of shares of that class in uncertificated form;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the transfer of title to shares of that class by means of a relevant system; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) any provision of the uncertificated securities rules,

and, without prejudice to the generality of this Article, no provision of these Articles shall apply or have effect to the extent that it is in any respect inconsistent with the maintenance, keeping or entering up by the Operator, so long as that is permitted or required by the uncertificated securities rules, of an Operator register of securities in respect of that class of shares in uncertificated form.

15.3 Shares of a class which Is at the relevant time a participating class may be changed from uncertificated
to certificated form, and from certificated to uncertificated form, in accordance with and subject as provided in the uncertificated securities
rules.

15.4 If, under these Articles or the Companies Acts, the Company is entitled to sell, transfer or otherwise
dispose of, forfeit, re-allot, accept the surrender of or otherwise enforce a lien over an uncertificated share, then, subject to these
Articles and the Companies Acts, such entitlement shall include the right of the Board to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) require the holder of the uncertificated share by notice in writing to change that share from uncertificated
to certificated form within such period as may be specified in the notice and keep it as a certificated share for as long as the Board
requires;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) appoint any person to take such other steps, by instruction given by means of a relevant system or otherwise,
in the name of the holder of such share as may be required to effect the transfer of such share and such steps shall be as effective as
if they had been taken by the registered holder of that share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) take such other action that the Board considers appropriate to achieve the sale, transfer, disposal, forfeiture,
re-allotment or surrender of that share or otherwise to enforce a lien in respect of that share.

15.5 Unless the Board determines otherwise, shares which a member holds in uncertificated form shall be treated
as separate holdings from any shares which that member holds in certificated form but a class of shares shall not be treated as two classes
simply because some shares of that class are held in certificated form and others in uncertificated form.

15.6 Unless the Board determines otherwise or the uncertificated securities rules require otherwise, any
shares issued or created out of or in respect of any uncertificated shares shall be uncertificated shares and any shares issued or created
out of or in respect of any certificated shares shall be certificated shares.

15.7 The Company shall be entitled to assume that the entries on any record of securities maintained by it
in accordance with the uncertificated securities rules and regularly reconciled with the relevant Operator register of securities
are a complete and accurate reproduction of the particulars entered in the Operator register of securities and shall accordingly not be
liable in respect of any act or thing done or omitted to be done by or on behalf of the Company in reliance on such assumption. Any provision
of these Articles which requires or envisages that action will be taken in reliance on information contained ,in the Register shall be
construed to permit that action to be taken in reliance on information contained in any relevant record of securities (as so maintained
and reconciled).

**16.** **Share certificates** 

16.1 Every person (except a person to whom the Company is not by law required to issue a certificate) whose
name Is entered in the Register as a holder of any certificated shares shall be entitled, without charge, to receive within the time limits
prescribed by the Companies Acts (unless the terms of issue prescribe otherwise) one certificate for all of the shares of that class registered
in their name.

16.2 The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate in respect of shares held jointly by
two or more persons. Delivery of a certificate to the person first named in the Register shall be sufficient delivery to all joint holders.

16.3 Where a member has transferred part only of the shares comprised in a certificate, they shall be entitled
without charge to a certificate for the balance of such shares to the extent that the balance is to be held in certificated form. Where
a member receives more shares of any class, they shall be entitled without charge to a certificate for the extra shares of that class
to the extent that the balance is to be held in certificated form.

16.4 A share certificate may be issued under Seal (by affixing the Seal to or printing the Seal or a representation
of it on the certificate) or signed by at least two Directors or by at least one Director and the Secretary. Such certificate shall specify
the number and class of the shares in respect of which it is issued and the amount or respective amounts paid up on it. The Board may
by resolution decide, either generally or in any particular case or cases, that any signatures on any share certificates need not be autographic
but may be applied to the certificates by some mechanical or other means or may be printed on them or that the certificates need not be
signed by any person.

16.5 Every share certificate sent in accordance with these Articles will be sent at the risk of the member
or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course
of delivery.

**17.** **Replacement certificates** 

17.1 Any two or more certificates representing shares of any one class held by any member may at their request
be cancelled and a single new certificate for such shares issued in lieu without charge on surrender of the original certificates for
cancellation.

17.2 Any certificate representing shares of any one class held by any member may at their request be cancelled
and two or more certificates for such shares may be issued instead.

17.3 If a share certificate is defaced, worn out or said to be stolen, lost or destroyed, it may be replaced
on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Board may decide and, where it is defaced or worn out, after delivery of the old certificate
to the Company.

17.4 The Board may require the payment of any exceptional out-of-pocket expenses of the Company incurred in
connection with the issue of any certificates under this Article. In the case of shares held jointly by several persons, any such request
as is mentioned in this Article may be made by any one of the joint holders.

**18.** **Lien on shares not fully paid** 

The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on every share, not being a fully paid share, for all amounts payable to the Company (whether presently or not) in respect of that share. The Company's lien over a share takes priority over any third party's interest in that share, and extends to any dividend or other money payable by the Company in respect of that share (and, if the lien is enforced and the share is sold by the Company, the proceeds of sale of that share). The Board may at any time, either generally or in any particular case, waive any hen that has arisen or declare any share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article.

**19.** **Enforcement of lien by sale** 

The Company may sell, in such manner as the Board may decide, any share over which the Company has a lien if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable and is not paid within fourteen (14) clear days after a notice has been served on the holder of the share or the person who is entitled by transmission to the share, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the share may be sold. For giving effect to the sale, in the case of a certificated share, the Board may authorise some person to sign an instrument of transfer of the share sold to, or in accordance with the directions, of the buyer. In the case of an uncertificated share, the Board may require the Operator to convert the share into certificated form and after such conversion, authorise any person to sign the instrument of transfer of the share to effect the sale of the share. The buyer shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall their title to the share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the sale.

**20.** **Application of proceeds of sale** 

The net proceeds of any sale of shares subject to any lien, after payment of the costs, shall be applied:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) first, in or towards satisfaction of so much of the amount due to the Company or of the liability or engagement
(as the case may be) as is presently payable or is liable to be presently fulfilled or discharged; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) second, any residue shall be paid to the person who was entitled to the share at the time of the sale
but only after the certificate for the shares sold has been surrendered to the company for cancellation, or an indemnity in a form reasonably
satisfactory to the Directors has been given for any lost certificates, and subject to a like lien for debts or liabilities not presently
payable as existed on the share prior to the sale.

**21.** **Calls** 

21.1 Subject to these Articles and the terms on which the shares are allotted, the Board may from time to time
make calls on the members in respect of any monies unpaid on their shares (whether in respect of nominal value or premium) and not payable
on a date fixed by or in accordance with the terms of issue.

21.2 Each member shall (subject to the Company serving upon him at least fourteen (14) clear days' notice specifying
when and where payment is to be made and whether or not by instalments) pay to the Company as required by the notice the amount called
on for their shares.

21.3 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Board authorising the
call was passed.

21.4 A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Board may decide.

21.5 Liability to pay a call is not extinguished or transferred by transferring the shares in respect of which
the call is required to be paid.

**22.** **Liability of Joint Holders** 

The joint holders of a share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect of the share.

**23.** **Interest on calls** 

If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due and payable shall pay all expenses that may have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment together with interest on the amount unpaid from the day it is due and payable to the time of actual payment at such rate (not exceeding the Bank of England base rate by more than five percentage points) as the Board may decide. The Board may waive payment of the interest or the expenses in whole or in part.

**24.** **Sums treated as calls** 

An amount payable in respect of a share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether in respect of nominal value or premium or as an instalment of a call, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid these Articles shall apply as if that sum had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

**25.** **Power to differentiate** 

On or before the issue of shares, the Board may decide that allottees or holders of shares can be called on to pay different amounts or that they can be called on at separate times.

**26.** **Payment of calls in advance** 

The Board may, if it thinks fit, receive from any member willing to advance the same, all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid on the shares held by him. Such payment in advance of calls shall, to the extent of the payment, extinguish the liability on the shares on which it is made. The Company may pay interest on the money paid in advance, or so much of it as exceeds the amount for the time being called upon the shares in respect of which such advance has been made, at such rate as the Board may decide. The Board may at any time repay the amount so advanced by giving at least three months' notice in writing lo such member of its intention to do so, unless before the expiration of such notice the amount so advanced shall have been called up on the shares in respect of which it was advanced.

**27.** **Notice if call or instalment not paid** 

If any member fails to pay the whole of any call (or any instalment of any call) by the date when payment is due, the Board may at any time give notice in writing to such member (or to any person entitled to the shares by transmission), requiring payment of the amount unpaid (and any accrued interest and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment) by a date not less than fourteen (14) clear days from the date of the notice. The notice shall name the place where the payment is to be made and state that, if the notice is not complied with, the shares in respect of which such call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

**28.** **Forfeiture for non-compliance** 

If the notice referred to in Article 27 is not complied with, any share for which it was given may be forfeited, by resolution of the Board to that effect, at any time before the payment required by the notice has been made. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends declared or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited shares and not paid before the forfeiture.

**29.** **Notice after forfeiture** 

When any share has been forfeited, notice of the forfeiture shall be served on the holder of the share or the person entitled to such share by transmission (as the case may be) before forfeiture. An entry of such notice having been given and of the forfeiture and the date of forfeiture shall immediately be made in the Register in respect of such share. However, no forfeiture shall be invalidated by any omission to give such notice or to make such entry in the Register.

**30.** **Forfeiture may be annulled** 

The Board may annul the forfeiture of a share, at any time before any forfeited share has been cancelled or sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, on the terms that payment shall be made of all calls and interest due on it and all expenses incurred in respect of the share and on such further terms (if any) as the Board shall see fit.

**31.** **Surrender** 

The Board may accept the surrender of any share liable to be forfeited and, in any event, references in these Articles to forfeiture shall include surrender.

**32.** **Sale of forfeited shares** 

32.1 A forfeited share shall become the property of the Company.

32.2 Subject to the Companies Acts, any such share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of, on such
terms and in such manner as the Board thinks fit.

32.3 The Board may, for the purposes of the disposal, authorise some person to transfer the share in question
and may enter the name of the transferee in respect of the transferred share in the Register even if no share certificate is lodged and
may issue a new certificate to the transferee. An instrument of transfer executed by that person shall be as effective as if it had been
executed by the holder of, or the person entitled by transmission to, the share. The Company may receive the consideration (if any) given
for the share on its disposal.

**33.** **Effect of forfeiture** 

A shareholder whose shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a member in respect of such forfeited shares and shall surrender the certificate for such shares to the Company for cancellation.

Such shareholder shall remain liable to pay to the Company all sums which at the date of forfeiture were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of such shares with interest (not exceeding the Bank of England base rate by 2 percentage points) from the date of the forfeiture to the date of payment. The Directors may waive payment of interest wholly or in part and may enforce payment, without any reduction or allowance for the value of the shares at the time of forfeiture or for any consideration received on their disposal.

**34.** **Evidence of forfeiture** 

A statutory declaration by a Director or the Secretary that a share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the share. The declaration shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer if necessary) constitute a good title to the share. The person to whom the share is transferred or sold shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money or other consideration (if any), nor shall their title to the share be affected by any act, omission or irregularity relating to or connected with the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture or disposal of the share.

**35.** **Form of transfer** 

35.1 Subject to these Articles:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) each member may transfer all or any of their shares which are in certificated form by instrument of transfer
in writing in any usual form or in any form approved by the Board. Such instrument shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor
and (in the case of a transfer of a share which Is not fully paid up) by or on behalf of the transferee. All instruments of transfer,
when registered, may be retained by the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each member may transfer all or any of their shares which are in uncertificated form by means of a relevant
system in such manner provided for, and subject as provided in, the uncertificated securities rules. No provision of these Articles shall
apply in respect of an uncertificated share to the extent that it requires or contemplates the effecting of a transfer by an instrument
in writing or the production of a certificate for the share to be transferred.

35.2 The transferor of a share shall be deemed to remain the holder of the share concerned until the name of
the transferee is entered in the Register in respect of it.

**36.** **Right to refuse registration of transfer** 

36.1 The Board may, in its absolute discretion, refuse to register any transfer of a share in certificated
form (or renunciation of a renounceable letter of allotment) unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) it is for a share which is fully paid up;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) it is for a share upon which the Company has no lien;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) it is only for one class of share;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) it is in favour of a single transferee or no more than four joint transferees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) it is duly stamped or is duly certificated or otherwise shown to the satisfaction of the Board to be exempt
from stamp duty (if this is required); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) it is delivered for registration to the Office (or such other place as the Board may determine), accompanied
(except in the case of a transfer by a person to whom the Company is not required by law to issue a certificate and to whom a certificate
has not been issued or in the case of a renunciation) by the certificate for the shares to which it relates and such other evidence as
the Board may reasonably require to prove the title of the transferor (or person renouncing) and the due execution of the transfer or
renunciation by him or, if the transfer or renunciation is executed by some other person on their behalf, the authority of that person
to do so.

36.2 The Board shall not refuse to register any transfer or renunciation of partly paid shares which are listed
on Nasdaq or any other relevant stock exchange on the grounds that they are partly paid shares in circumstances where such refusal would
prevent dealings in such shares from taking place on an open and proper basis.

36.3 Transfers of shares will not be registered in the circumstances referred to in Article 76.

36.4 The Board may refuse to register a transfer of uncertificated shares in any circumstances that are allowed
or required by the uncertificated securities rules and the relevant system.

**37.** **Notice of refusal to register a transfer** 

If the Board refuses to register a transfer of a share it shall notify the transferee of the refusal and the reasons for it within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with the Company or the instructions to the relevant system received. Any instrument of transfer which the Board refuses to register shall be returned to the person depositing it (except if there is suspected or actual fraud). All instruments of transfer which are registered may be retained by the Company.

**38.** **No fees on registration** 

No fee shall be charged for registration of a transfer or other document or instruction relating to or affecting the title to any share or for making any other entry in the Register.

**39.** **Other powers in relation to transfers** 

Nothing in these Articles shall prevent the Board:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) from recognising a renunciation of the allotment of any share by the allottee in favour of another person;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) (if empowered to do so by these Articles) from authorising any person to execute an instrument of transfer
of a share and from authorising any person to transfer that share in accordance with any procedures implemented under Article 19.

**40.** **Transmission of shares on Death** 

If a member dies, the survivors or survivor (where they was a joint holder), and their executors or administrators (where they was a sole or the only survivor of joint holders), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to their shares. Nothing in these Articles shall release the estate of a deceased member from any liability for any share which has been solely or jointly held by him.

**41.** **Election of person entitled by transmission** 

41.1 Any person becoming entitled to a share because of the death or bankruptcy of a member, or otherwise by
operation of law, may (on such evidence as to their title being produced as the Board may require) elect either to become registered as
a member or to have some person nominated by him registered as a member. If they elect to become registered himself, they shall notify
the Company to that effect. If they elect to have some other person registered, they shall execute an instrument of transfer of such share
to that person. All the provisions of these Articles relating to the transfer of shares shall apply to the notice or instrument of transfer
(as the case may be) as if it were an instrument of transfer executed by the member and their death, bankruptcy or other event had not
occurred. Where the entitlement of a person to a share because of the death or bankruptcy of a member or otherwise by operation of law
is proved to the satisfaction of the Board, the Board shall within thirty (30) days after proof cause the entitlement of that person to
be noted in the Register.

41.2 A person entitled by transmission to a share in uncertificated form who elects to have some other person
registered shall either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) procure that instructions are given by means of the relevant system to effect transfer of such uncertificated
share to that person; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) change the uncertificated share to certificated form and execute an instrument of transfer of that certificated
share to that person.

**42.** **Rights on transmission** 

Where a person becomes entitled to a share because of the death or bankruptcy of any member, or otherwise by operation of law, the rights of the holder in relation to such share shall cease. However, the person so entitled may give a good discharge for any dividends and other monies payable in respect of it and shall have the same rights to which they would be entitled if they were the holder of the share, except that they shall not be entitled to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at, any meeting of the Company or an separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares of the Company before they are registered as the holder of the share. The Board may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to transfer the share. If the notice is not complied with within thirty (30) days, the Board may withhold payment of all dividends and the other monies payable in respect of such share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

**43.** **Destruction of documents** 

43.1 The Company may destroy any:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) instrument of transfer, after six years from the date on which it is registered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) dividend mandate or any variation or cancellation of a dividend mandate or any notification of change
of name or address, after two years from the date on which it is recorded;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) share certificate, after one year from the date on which it is cancelled;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) instrument of proxy which has been used for the purpose of voting at any time after one year has elapsed
from the date of use;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) instrument of proxy which has not been used for the purpose of voting at any time after a period of one
month has elapsed from the end of the meeting to which the instrument of proxy relates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Share Warrant (including coupons or tokens detailed from 1t) which has been cancelled at any time after
seven years from the date on which it was cancelled; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) other document for which any entry in the Register is made, after six years from the date on which an
entry was first made in the Register in respect of it,

provided that the Company may destroy any such type of document at a date earlier than that authorised by this Article if a copy of such document is made and retained (whether electronically, by microfilm, by digital imaging or by other similar means) until the expiration of the period applicable to the destruction of the original of such document.

43.2 It shall be conclusively presumed in favour of the Company that every:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) entry in the Register purporting to have been made on the basis of a document so destroyed was duly and
properly made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) instrument of transfer so destroyed was duly registered;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) share certificate so destroyed was duly cancelled; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) other document so destroyed had been properly dealt with under its terms and was valid and effective according
to the particulars in the records of the Company.

43.3 This Article shall only apply to the destruction of a document in good faith and without notice of
any claim (regardless of the parties to it) to which the document might be relevant. Nothing In this Article shall be construed as
imposing any liability on the Company in respect of the destruction of any such document other than as provided for in this Article which
would not attach to the Company in the absence of this Article. References in this Article to the destruction of any document include
references to the disposal of it in any manner.

43.4 References in this Article to instruments of transfer shall include, in relation to uncertificated
shares, instructions and/or notifications made in accordance with the relevant system relating to the transfer of such shares.

**44.** **Sub-division** 

Any resolution authorising the Company to sub-divide its shares or any of them may determine that, as between the shares resulting from the sub-division, any of them may have any preference or advantage or be subject to any restriction as compared with the others.

**45.** **Fractions** 

45.1 Where any difficulty arises in regard to any consolidation or division, the Board may settle such difficulty
as they see fit. In particular, without limitation, the Directors may sell to any person (including the Company) the shares representing
the fractions for the best once reasonably obtainable and distribute the net proceeds of sale in due proportion among those members or
retain such net proceeds for the benefit of the Company and:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) in the case of shares in certificated form, the Board may authorise any person to execute an instrument
of transfer of the shares to the purchaser or a person nominated by the purchaser and take such other steps (including the giving of directions
to or on behalf of the holder, who shall be bound by them) as they think fit to effect such transfer; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of shares in uncertificated form, the Board may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to enable the Company to deal with the share in accordance with the provisions of this Article, require
or procure any relevant person or the Operator (as applicable) to convert the share into certificated form; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) after such conversion, authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the shares to the
purchaser or a person nominated by the purchaser and take such other steps (including the giving of directions to or on behalf of the
holder, who shall be bound by them) as they think fit to effect the transfer.

45.2 The transferee shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor shall their title
to the shares be affected by any irregularity in or invalidity of the proceedings in reference to the sale.

**46.** **Annual general meetings** 

An annual general meeting shall be held once a year, at such time (consistent with the terms of the Companies Acts) and place as may be determined by the Board.

**47.** **Convening of general meetings** 

All meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called general meetings. The Board or the chairperson of the Board may, whenever it thinks fit, and shall on requisition in accordance with the Companies Acts, proceed to convene a general meeting. For all other purposes, and unless expressly provided otherwise in these Articles, the procedures for giving notice (other than as to duration) of, the conduct of, and voting at annual general meetings and all other general meetings shall be the same.

**48.** **Notice of general meetings** 

A general meeting shall be called by at least such minimum notice as is required or permitted by the Companies Acts. The period of notice shall in either case be exclusive of the day on which it is served or deemed to be served and of the day on which the meeting is to be held and shall be given to all members other than those who are not entitled to receive such notices from the Company. The Company may give such notice by any means or combination of means permitted by the Companies Acts.

**49.** **Contents of notice of meetings** 

49.1 Every notice calling a meeting shall specify;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) whether the meeting shall be a physical or electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) in the case of a physical meeting and/or a hybrid meeting the place, date, and time of the meeting,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) in the case of an electronic and/or hybrid meeting, the date, time, and electronic platform for the meeting,
which electronic platform may vary from time to time and from meeting to meeting as the board, in its sole discretion, sees fit,

and there shall appear with reasonable prominence in every such notice a statement that a member entitled to attend and vote is entitled to a proxy or (if they have more than one share) proxies to exercise all or any of their rights to attend, speak and vote and that a proxy need not be a member of the Company. Such notice shall also include the address of the website on which the information required by the Act is published, state the procedures with which members must comply in order to be able to attend and vote at the meeting (including the date by which they must comply}, provide details of any forms to be used for the appointment of a proxy and state that a member has the right to ask questions at the meeting in accordance with the Act.

49.2 The notice shall specify the general nature of the business to be transacted at the meeting and shall
set out the text of all resolutions to be considered by the meeting and shall state in each case whether it is proposed as an ordinary
resolution or as a special resolution.

49.3 In the case of an annual general meeting, the notice shall also specify the meeting as such.

49.4 For the purposes of determining which persons are entitled to attend or vote at a meeting and how many
votes a person may cast, the Company may specify in the notice of meeting a time, not more than forty-eight (48) hours before the time
fixed for the meeting (not taking into account non-working days) by which a person must be entered in the Register in order to have the
right to attend or vote at the meeting or appoint a proxy to do so.

**50.** **Omission to give notice and non-receipt of notice** 

The accidental omission to give notice of any meeting or to send an instrument of proxy (where this is intended to be sent out with the notice) to, or the non-receipt of either by, any person entitled to receive the same shall not invalidate the proceedings of that meeting.

**51.** **Postponement of general meeting** 

If the Board considers that it is impracticable or unreasonable to hold a general meeting on the date or at the time or place stated in the notice calling the meeting, it may postpone or move the meeting (or do both}. The Board shall take reasonable steps to ensure that notice of the date, time and place of the rearranged meeting is given to any member trying to attend the meeting at the original time and place. Notice of the date, time and place of the rearranged meeting shall, if practicable, also be placed in at least two national newspapers published in the United Kingdom. Notice of the business to be transacted at such rearranged meeting shall not be required. If a meeting is rearranged in this way, appointments of proxy are valid if they are received as required by these Articles not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time appointed for holding the rearranged meeting and for the purpose of calculating this period, the Board can decide in their absolute discretion, not to take account of any part of a day that is not a working day. The Board may also postpone or move the rearranged meeting (or do both) under this Article.

**52.** **Quorum at general meeting** 

No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. If a quorum is not present a chairperson of the meeting can still be chosen and this will not be treated as part of the business of the meeting. Two members present in person or by proxy and entitled to attend and to vote on the business to be transacted shall be a quorum.

**53.** **Procedure if quorum not present** 

If a quorum is not present within fifteen (15) minutes (or such longer interval as the chairperson in their absolute discretion thinks fit) from the time appointed for holding a general meeting, or if a quorum ceases to be present during a meeting, the meeting shall be dissolved if convened on the requisition of members. In any other case, the meeting shall stand adjourned to another day, (not being less than ten (10) clear days after the date of the original meeting), and at such time and place as the chairperson (or, in default, the Board) may determine. If at such adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within fifteen (15) minutes from the time appointed for holding the meeting, one person entitled to vote on the business to be transacted, being a member or a proxy for a member or a duly authorised representative of a corporation which is a member, shall be a quorum and any notice of an adjourned meeting shall state this.

**54.** **Chairperson of general meeting** 

The chairperson of the Board shall preside at every general meeting of the Company. If there is no such chairperson or if at any meeting they shall not be present within five (5) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or shall be unwilling to act as chairperson, the deputy chairperson (if any) of the Board shall, if present and willing to act, preside at such meeting. If more than one deputy chairperson is present they shall agree amongst themselves who is to take the chair or, if they cannot agree, the deputy chairperson who has been in office as a Director the longest shall take the chair. If no chairperson or deputy chairperson shall be so present and willing to act, the Directors present shall choose one of their number to act or, if there be only one Director present, they shall be chairperson if willing to act. If there be no Director present and willing to act, the members present and entitled to vote shall choose one of their number to be chairperson of the meeting. Nothing in these Articles shall restrict or exclude any of the powers or rights of a chairperson of a meeting which are given by law.

**55.** **Entitlement to attend and speak** 

55.1 A Director (and any other person invited by the chairperson to do so) may attend and speak at any general
meeting and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares of the Company, whether or not they are a member.

55.2 The Board may resolve to enable persons entitled to attend a general meeting hosted on an electronic platform
(such meeting being an electronic general meeting) to do so by simultaneous attendance by electronic means with no member necessarily
in physical attendance at the electronic general meeting. The members or their proxies present shall be counted in the quorum for, and
entitled to vote at, the general meeting in question, and that meeting shall be duly constituted and its proceedings valid if the chairperson
of the general meeting is satisfied that adequate facilities are available throughout the electronic general meeting to ensure that members
attending the electronic general meeting who are not present together at the same place may, by electronic means, attend and speak and
vote at it.

55.3 Nothing in these Articles prevents a general meeting being held both physically and electronically.

**56.** **Adjournments** 

56.1 The chairperson may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present, and shall, if so directed
by the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time (or indefinitely) and from place to place as the meeting shall determine.

56.2 Without prejudice to any other power which they may have under these Articles or at common law, the chairperson
may, without the need for the consent of the meeting, interrupt or adjourn any meeting from time to time and from place to place or for
an indefinite period if they are of the opinion that it has become necessary to do so in order to secure the proper and orderly conduct
of the meeting or to give all persons entitled to do so a reasonable opportunity of attending, speaking and voting at the meeting (where
facilities at a physical meeting place and/or an electronic platform appear to the chairperson to have become inadequate for the purpose)
or to ensure that the business of the meeting is properly disposed of.

56.3 Meetings can be adjourned more than once, in accordance with the procedures set out in this Article.

**57.** **Notice of adjournment** 

If the meeting is adjourned indefinitely or for more than three months, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given in the same manner as in the case of the original meeting. Except as provided in these Articles, there is no need to give notice of the adjourned meeting or of the business to be considered there.

**58.** **Business of adjourned meeting** 

No business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business which might properly have been transacted at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

**59.** **Security arrangements and orderly conduct** 

59.1 The Board may direct that any person wishing to attend any meeting should provide such evidence of identity
and submit to such searches or other security arrangements or restrictions as the Board shall consider appropriate in the circumstances
and shall be entitled in its absolute discretion to refuse entry to any meeting to any person who fails to provide Such evidence of identity
or to submit to such searches or to otherwise comply with such security arrangements or restrictions.

59.2 The Board and, at any electronic general meeting, the chairperson may make any arrangement and impose
any requirement or restriction as is:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) necessary to ensure the identification of those taking part and the security of the electronic communication;
and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) proportionate to those objectives.

In this respect, the Company is able to authorise any voting application, system, or facility for electronic general meetings as it sees fit.

59.3 The chairperson shall take such action or give directions as they think fit to promote the orderly conduct
of the business of the meeting as laid down in the notice of the meeting and to ensure the security of the meeting and the safety of the
people attending the meeting. The chairperson's decision on matters of procedure or arising incidentally from the business of the meeting
shall be final as shall be their determination as to whether any matter is of such a nature.

**60.** **Overflow meeting rooms** 

60.1 The Board may, in accordance with this Article, make arrangements for members and proxies who are entitled
to attend and participate in a general meeting, but who cannot be seated in the main meeting room where the chairperson will be, to attend
and take part in a general meeting in an overflow room or rooms. Any overflow room will have appropriate links to the main room and will
enable audio-visual communication between the meeting rooms throughout the meeting. The Board will decide how to divide members and proxies
between the main room and the overflow room. If an overflow room is used, the meeting will be treated as being held and taking place in
the main meeting room and the meeting will consist of all the members and proxies who are attending both in the main meeting room and
the overflow room.

60.2 Details of any arrangements for overflow rooms will be set out in the notice of the meeting but failure
to do so will not invalidate the meeting.

**61.** **Satellite meeting places** 

61.1 To facilitate the organisation and administration of any general meeting, the Board may decide that the
meeting shall be held at two or more locations.

61.2 For the purposes of these Articles, any general meeting of the Company taking place at two or more locations
shall be treated as taking place where the chairperson of the meeting presides (the principal meeting place) and any other location where
that meeting takes place is referred in this Article as a satellite meeting.

61.3 A member present in person or by proxy at a satellite meeting may be counted in the quorum and may exercise
all rights that they would have been able to exercise if they were present at the principal meeting place.

61.4 The Board may make and change from time to time such arrangements as they shall in their absolute discretion
consider appropriate to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) ensure that all members and proxies for members wishing to attend the meeting can do so;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) ensure that all persons attending the meeting are able to participate in the business of the meeting and
to see and hear anyone else addressing the meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) ensure the safety of persons attending the meeting and the orderly conduct of the meeting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) restrict the numbers of members and proxies at any one location to such number as can safely and conveniently
be accommodated there.

61.5 The entitlement of any member or proxy to attend a satellite meeting shall be subject to any such arrangements
then in force and stated by the notice of the meeting or adjourned meeting to apply to the meeting.

61.6 If there is a failure of communication equipment or any other failure in the arrangements for participation
in the meeting at more than one place, the chairperson may adjourn the meeting in accordance with Article 56. Such adjournment will
not affect the validity of such meeting, or any business conducted at such meeting up to the point of adjournment, or any action taken
pursuant to such meeting.

61.7 A person (satellite chairperson) appointed by the Board shall preside at each satellite meeting. Every
satellite chairperson shall carry out all requests made of him by the chairperson of the meeting, may take such action as they think necessary
to maintain the proper and orderly conduct of the satellite meeting and shall have all powers necessary or desirable for such purposes.

**62.** **Procedure where general meetings held at more than one place** 

62.1 The provisions of this Article shall apply if any general meeting is held at or adjourned to more
than one place.

62.2 The notice of such a meeting or adjourned meeting shall specify the principal meeting place and the Directors
shall make arrangements for simultaneous attendance and participation at the principal meeting place and at other satellite meetings by
members, provided that persons attending at any particular place shall be able to see and hear and be seen and heard by means of audio
visual links by persons attending the principal meeting place and at the other satellite meeting places at which the meeting is held.

62.3 The Directors may from time to time make such arrangements for the purpose of controlling the level of
attendance at any such place (whether involving the issue of tickets or the imposition of some geographical or regional means of selection
or otherwise) as they shall in their absolute discretion consider appropriate, and may from time to time vary any such arrangements or
make new arrangements in place of them, provided that a member who is not entitled to attend, in person or by proxy, at any principal
meeting place shall be entitled so to attend at one of the satellite meetings, and the entitlement of any member so to attend the meeting
or adjourned meeting at such place shall be subject to any such arrangements as may from time to time be in force and by the notice of
meeting or adjourned meeting stated to apply to the meeting.

62.4 For the purposes of all other provisions of these Articles, any such meeting shall be treated as being
held at the principal meeting place.

62.5 If a meeting is adjourned to more than one place, not less than seven days' notice of the adjourned meeting
shall be given despite any other provision of these Articles.

**63.** **Amendment to resolutions** 

63.1 If an amendment to any resolution under consideration is proposed but is ruled out of order by the chairperson
of the meeting in good faith, any error in such ruling shall not invalidate the proceedings on the original resolution.

63.2 In the case of a resolution duly proposed as a special resolution, no amendment to it (other than an amendment
to correct a patent error) may in any event be considered or voted on. In the case of a resolution duly proposed as an ordinary resolution
no amendment to it (other than an amendment to correct a patent error) may be considered or voted on unless either at least forty-eight
(48) hours prior to the lime appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which such ordinary resolution is to be proposed,
notice in writing of the terms of the amendment and intention to move the same has been lodged at the Office or received in electronic
form at the electronic address at which the Company has or is deemed to have agreed to receive it or the chairperson of the meeting in
their absolute discretion decides that it may be considered or voted on.

**64.** **Withdrawal and ruling amendments out of order** 

With the consent of the chairperson of the meeting, an amendment may be withdrawn by its proposer before ii is voted on. If an amendment proposed to any resolution under consideration is ruled out of order by the chairperson of the meeting, the proceedings on the resolution shall not be invalidated by any error in the ruling.

**65.** **Members' resolutions** 

65.1 Members of the Company shall have the rights provided by the Companies Acts to have the Company circulate
and give notice of a resolution which may be properly moved, and is intended to be moved, at the Company's next annual general meeting.

65.2 Expenses of complying with these rights shall be borne in accordance with the Companies Acts.

**66.** **Method of voting** 

66.1 Any resolution put to the vote of a general meeting must be decided exclusively on a poll.

66.2 At general meetings, resolutions shall be put to the vote by the chairperson of the meeting and there
shall be no requirement for the resolution to be proposed or seconded by any person.

**67.** **Objection to error in voting** 

No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter or to the counting of, or failure to count, any vote, except at the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chairperson of the meeting and shall only vitiate the decision of the meeting on any resolution if the chairperson decides that the same is of sufficient magnitude to vitiate the resolution or may otherwise have affected the decision of the meeting. The decision of the chairperson of the meeting on such matters shall be final and conclusive.

**68.** **Voting Procedure** 

68.1 Any poll on any question of adjournment shall be taken immediately. A poll on any other matter shall be
taken in such manner (including the use of ballot or voting papers or tickets) and at such time and place, not more than thirty (30) days
from the date of the meeting or adjourned meeting, as the chairperson shall direct. The chairperson may appoint scrutineers who need not
be members. It is not necessary to give notice of a poll not taken immediately if the time and place at which it is to be taken are announced
at the meeting. In any other case, at least seven clear days' notice shall be given specifying the time, date, and place at which the
poll shall be taken. The result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which the poll was due to be conducted.

68.2 Votes may be given in person or by proxy. A member entitled to more than one vote need not, if they vote,
use all their votes or cast all the votes they use in the same way.

68.3 No notice need be given of a poll not taken during the meeting if the time and place at which it is to
be taken are announced at the meeting. In any other case, at least seven clear days' notice must be given specifying the time and place
at which the poll is to be taken.

**69.** **Votes of members** 

69.1 Subject to Article 69.2, to the Companies Act, to any special terms as to voting on which any shares
may have been issued or may for the time being be held and to any suspension or abrogation of voting rights under these Articles, at any
general meeting:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) every Class A Ordinary Shareholder present in person or by duly appointed proxy or corporate representative
has one vote for every Class A Ordinary Share of which they are the holder or in respect of which their appointment as proxy or corporate
representative has been made;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) each Class B Ordinary Shareholder present in person or by duly appointed proxy or corporate representative
has ten (10) votes for every Class B Ordinary Share of which they are the holder or in respect of which their appointment as
proxy or corporate representative has been made; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) a member, proxy or corporate representative entitled to more than one vote need not, if they vote, use
all their votes or cast all the votes they use the same way.

69.2 If two or more persons are joint holders of a share, then in voting on any question the vote of the senior
who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders. For this
purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order In which the names of the holders stand in the Register.

69.3 Where in England or elsewhere a receiver or other person (by whatever name called) has been appointed
by any court claiming jurisdiction in that behalf to exercise powers with respect to the property or affairs of any member on the ground
(however formulated) of mental disorder, the Board may in its absolute discretion, upon or subject to production of such evidence of the
appointment as the Board may require, permit such receiver or other person on behalf of such member to vote in person by proxy on behalf
of such member at any general meeting or to exercise any other right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company. Evidence
to the satisfaction of the Board of the authority of the person claiming to exercise the right to vote shall be deposited at the Office,
or at such other place as is specified in accordance with these Articles for the deposit of instruments of proxy, at least forty-eight
(48) hours before the time appointed for holding the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the right to vote is to be exercised and, in
default, the right to vote shall not be exercisable.

69.4 In the case of equality of votes the chairperson of the meeting shall not be entitled to a casting vote.

69.5 In order that the Company may determine the members entitled to vote at any meeting of members or any
adjournment thereof, and how many votes such person may cast, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the
date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required
by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed the record
date for determining members entitled to vote at a meeting of members shall, unless otherwise required by law, be at the close of business
on the business day preceding the day on which notice is given.

**70.** **No right to vote where sums overdue on shares** 

No member may vote at a general meeting (or any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares), either in person or by proxy, or to exercise any other right or privilege as a member in respect of a share held by him unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) all calls or other sums presently due and payable by him in respect of that share whether alone or jointly
with any other person together with interest and expenses (if any) have been paid to the Company; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the Board determines otherwise.

**71.** **Voting by Proxy** 

71.1 Subject to Article 71.2, an instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing in any usual form (or
in another form approved by the Board) executed under the hand of the appointor or their duly constituted attorney or, if the appointor
is a corporation, under its seal or signed by a duly authorised officer or attorney or other person authorised to sign.

71.2 Subject to the Companies Acts, the Board may accept the appointment of a proxy received by electronic
means on such terms and subject to such conditions as it considers fit. The appointment of a proxy received by electronic means shall
not be subject to the requirements of Article 71.1.

71.3 For the purposes of 71.1 and 71.2, the Board may require such reasonable evidence it considers necessary
to determine:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the identity of the member and the proxy; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) where the proxy is appointed by a person acting on behalf of the member, the authority of that person
to make the appointment.

71.4 A member may appoint another person as their proxy to exercise all or any of their rights to attend and
to speak and to vote on a resolution or amendment of a resolution, or on other business arising, at a meeting or meetings of the Company.
Unless the contrary is stated in it, the appointment of a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to exercise all such rights, as the
proxy thinks fit.

71.5 A proxy need not be a member.

71.6 A member may appoint more than one proxy in relation to a meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed
to exercise the rights attached to different shares held by the member. When two or more valid but differing appointments of proxy are
delivered or received for the same share for use at the same meeting, the one which is last validly delivered or received (regardless
of its date or the date of its execution) shall be treated as replacing and revoking the other or others as regards that share. If the
Company is unable to determine which appointment was last validly delivered or received, none of them shall be treated as valid in respect
of that share.

71.7 Delivery or receipt of an appointment of proxy does not prevent a member attending and voting in person
at the meeting or an adjournment of the meeting.

71.8 The appointment of a proxy shall (unless the contrary is stated in it) be valid for an adjournment of
the meeting as well as for the meeting or meetings to which it relates. The appointment of a proxy shall be valid for 12 months from the

notwithstanding that the appointment or any of the information required under Article 71.3 has not been received in accordance with
the requirements of this Article.

72.3 Subject to Article 72.2, if the proxy appointment and any of the information required under Article 71.3
is not received in the manner set out in Article 72.1, the appointee shall not be entitled to vote in respect of the shares in question.

72.4 Without limiting the foregoing, in relation to any uncertificated shares, the Board may from time to time:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) permit appointments of a proxy by means of a communication sent in electronic form in the form of an uncertificated
proxy instruction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) permit supplements to, or amendments or revocations of, any such uncertificated proxy instruction by the
same means.

The Board may in addition prescribe the method of determining the time at which any such uncertificated proxy instruction is to be treated as received by the Company or a participant acting on its behalf. The Board may treat any such uncertificated proxy instruction which purports to be or is expressed to be sent on behalf of a holder of a share as sufficient evidence of the authority of the person sending that instruction to send it on behalf of that holder.

**73.** **Revocation of proxy** 

A vote given shall be valid in the event of the death or mental disorder of the principal or the revocation of the instrument of proxy, or of the authority under which the instrument of proxy was executed, or the transfer of the share for which the instrument of proxy is given, unless notice in writing of such death, mental disorder, revocation or transfer shall have been received by the Company at the Office, or at such other place as has been appointed for the deposit of instruments of proxy, no later than the last time at which an appointment of a proxy should have been received in order for it to be valid for use at the meeting at which the vote was given.

**74.** **Availability of appointments of proxy** 

The Directors may at the expense of the Company send or make available appointments of proxy or invitations to appoint a proxy to the members by post or by electronic means or otherwise (with or without provision for their return prepaid) for use at any general meeting or at any separate class meeting, either in blank or nominating in the alternative any one or more of the Directors or any other person If for the purpose of any meeting, appointments of proxy or invitations to appoint as proxy a person or one of a number of persons specified in the invitations are issued at the Company's expense, they shall be issued to all (and not to some only) of the members entitled to be sent a notice of the meeting and to vote at it. The accidental omission, or the failure due to circumstances beyond the Company's control, to send or make available such an appointment of proxy or give such an invitation to, or the non-receipt thereof by, any member entitled to attend and vote at a meeting shall not invalidate the proceedings at that meeting.

**75.** **Corporate representatives** 

75.1 A corporation (whether or not a company within the meaning of the Act) which is a member may, by resolution
of its Directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative (or, as the case may be,
representatives) at any meeting of the Company or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares.

75.2 Any person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation (in
respect of that part of the corporation's holdings to which the authority relates) as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual
member.

75.3 The corporation shall for the purposes of these Articles be deemed to be present in person and at any
such meeting if a person so authorised is present at it, and all references to attendance and voting in person shall be construed accordingly.

75.4 A Director, the Secretary or some person authorised for the purpose by the Secretary may require the representative
to produce a certified copy of the resolution so authorising him or such other evidence of their authority reasonably satisfactory to
them before permitting him to exercise their powers.

75.5 A vote given by a corporate representative shall be valid notwithstanding that they are no longer authorised
to represent the member unless notice of the revocation of appointment was delivered in writing to the Company at such place or address
and by such time as is specified in Article 73 for the revocation of the appointment of a proxy.

**76.** **Failure to disclose interests in shares** 

76.1 If a member, or any other person appearing to be interested in shares held by that member, has been issued
with a notice under section 793 of the Act (section 793 notice) and has failed in relation to any shares (default shares, which expression
includes any shares issued after the date of such notice in right of those shares) to give the Company the information required by the
section 793 notice within the prescribed period from the service of the notice, the following sanctions shall apply unless the Board determines
otherwise:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the member shall not be entitled in respect of the default shares to be present or to vote (either in
person or by representative or proxy) at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of any class of shares or to exercise
any other right conferred by membership in relation to any such meeting; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) where the default shares represent at least 0.25%, in nominal value of the issued shares of their class
(calculated exclusive of any shares held as treasury shares):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) any dividend or other money payable for such shares shall be withheld by the Company, which shall not
have any obligation to pay interest on it, and the member shall not be entitled to elect, pursuant to Article 134, to receive shares
instead of that dividend; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) no transfer, other than an excepted transfer, of any shares held by the member shall be registered unless
the member himself is not in default of supplying the required information and the member proves to the satisfaction of the Board that
no person in default of supplying such information is interested in any of the shares that are the subject of the transfer.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) F or the purposes of ensuring Article 76.1(b)(ii) can apply
to all shares held by the member, the Company may in accordance with the uncertificated securities rules, issue a written notification
to the Operator requiring conversion into certificated form of any share held by the member in uncertificated form.

76.2 Where the sanctions under Article 76.1 apply in relation to any shares, they shall cease to have
effect (and any dividends withheld under Article 76.1(b) shall become payable):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) if the shares are transferred by means of an excepted transfer but only in respect of the shares transferred;
or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) at the end of the period of seven days (or such shorter period as the Board may determine) following receipt
by the Company of the information required by the section 793 notice and the Board being fully satisfied that such information is full
and complete.

76.3 Where, on the basis of information obtained from a member in respect of any share held by him, the Company
issues a section 793 notice to any other person. it shall at the same time send a copy of the notice to the member, but the accidental
omission to do so, or the non-receipt by the member of the copy, shall not invalidate or otherwise affect the application of Article 76.1.

76.4 For the purposes of this Article:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) a person, other than the member holding a share, shall be treated as appearing to be interested in that
share if the member has informed the Company that the person is, or may be, so interested, or if the Company (after taking account of
any information obtained from the member or, pursuant to a section 793 notice, from anyone else) knows or has reasonable cause to believe
that the person is, or may be, so interested;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) interested shall be construed as it is for the purpose of section 793 of the Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) reference to a person having failed to give the Company the information required by a notice, or being
in default as regards supplying such information, includes reference:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) to their having failed or refused to give all of any part of it; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) to their having given information which they know to be false in a material particular or having recklessly
given information which is false in a material particular;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) prescribed period means fourteen (14) days;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) excepted transfer means, in relation to any shares held by a member:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) a transfer by way of or pursuant to acceptance of a takeover offer for the Company (within the meaning
of section 974 of the Act); or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) a transfer in consequence of a sale made through Nasdaq or any other stock exchange on which the Company's
shares are normally traded; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) a transfer which is shown to the satisfaction of the Board to be made in consequence of a sale of the
whole of the beneficial interest in the shares to a person who is unconnected with the member and with any other person appearing to be
interested in the shares.

794 of the Act.

member of the Group.

108.6 When the aggregate principal amount of borrowings required to be taken into account on any particular
date is being ascertained, any particular borrowing then outstanding which is denominated or repayable in a currency other than sterling
shall be notionally converted into sterling at the rate of exchange prevailing in London on the last business day before that date or,
if it would result in a lower figure, at the rate of exchange prevailing in London on the last business day six months before that date.
For these purposes the rate of exchange shall be taken to be the spot rate in London recommended by a London clearing bank, selected by
the Board, as being the most appropriate rate for the purchase by the company of the currency in question for sterling on the day in question.

that the limit imposed by this Article has not been or will not be exceeded at any particular time or times, shall be conclusive
evidence of such amount or fact for the purposes of this Article. Nevertheless, the Board may at any time rely on a bona fide estimate
of the aggregate of the borrowings. If, in consequence, the limit on borrowings set out in this Article is inadvertently exceeded,

of the auditors of the Company or otherwise the Board becomes aware that such a situation has or may have arisen.

121.4 A company shall be deemed to be one in which the Director has a Relevant Interest in and so long as (but
only if and so long as) they are to their knowledge (either directly or indirectly) the holder of or beneficially interested in one per
cent or more of any class of the equity share capital of that company {calculated exclusive of any shares of that class in that company
held as treasury shares) or of the voting rights available to members of that company. In relation to an alternate Director, an interest
of their appointor shall be treated as an interest of the alternate Director without prejudice to any interest which the alternate Director
has otherwise. Where a company in which a Director has Relevant Interest is interested in a contract, they also shall be deemed interested
in that contract.

121.5 If a question arises at a Board meeting about whether a Director {other than the chairperson of the meeting)
has an interest which is likely to give rise to a conflict of interest, or whether they can vote or be counted in the quorum, and the
Director does not agree to abstain from voting on the issue or not to be counted in the quorum, the question must be referred to the chairperson
of the meeting. The chairperson's ruling about the relevant Director is final and conclusive unless the nature and extent of the Director's
interests have not been fairly disclosed to the Directors. If the question arises about the chairperson of the meeting, the question must
be directed to the Directors. The chairperson cannot vote on the question but can be counted in the quorum. The Directors' resolution
about the chairperson is final and conclusive unless the nature and extent of the chairperson's interests have not been fairly disclosed
to the Directors.

**122.** **General** 

For the purposes of 118 to 121 inclusive (which shall apply equally to alternate Directors):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) An interest of a person who is connected {which word shall have the meaning given to it by section 252
of the Act) with a Director shall be treated as an interest of the Director.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) A contract includes references to any proposed contract and to any transaction or arrangement or proposed
transaction or arrangement whether or not consulting a contract.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) A conflict of interest includes a conflict of interest and duty and a conflict of duties.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Subject to the Companies Acts, the Company may by ordinary resolution suspend or relax the provisions
of Articles 118 to 121 to any extent or ratify any contract not properly authorised by reason of a contravention of any of the provisions
of Articles 118 to 121.

**123.** **Power to authenticate documents** 

Any Director, the Secretary or any person appointed by the Board for the purpose shall have power to authenticate any documents affecting the constitution of the Company and any resolution passed by the Company or the Board or any committee, and any books, records, documents and accounts relating to the business of the Company, and to certify copies or extracts as true copies or extracts. Where any books, records, documents, or accounts are not at the Office, the local manager or other officer of the Company who has their custody shall be deemed to be a person appointed by the Board for this purpose. A document purporting to be a copy of a resolution, or an extract from the minutes of a meeting, of the Company or the Board or any committee which is so certified shall be conclusive evidence in favour of all persons dealing with the Company that such resolution has been duly passed or, as the case may be, that any minute so extracted is a true and accurate record of proceedings at a duly constituted meeting.

**124.** **Use of seals** 

124.1 The Board shall provide for the safe custody of the Seal. A Seal shall not be used without the authority
of the Board or of a committee of the Board so authorised.

124.2 Subject as otherwise provided in these Articles, every document which is sealed using the Seal must be
signed by at least one authorised person in the presence of a witness who attests the signature. An authorised person for this purpose
is any Director, the Secretary or any other person authorised by the Directors for the purpose of signing documents to which the Seal
is applied.

124.3 The Seal shall be used only for sealing securities issued by the Company and documents creating or evidencing
securities so issued. Any such securities or documents sealed with the Seal shall not require to be signed unless the Board decides otherwise
or the law otherwise requires.

124.4 The Board may decide who will sign an instrument to which a Seal is affixed (or in the case of a share
certificate, on which the Seal may be printed) either generally or in relation to a particular instrument or type of instrument and may
also determine either generally or in a particular case that a signature may be dispensed with or affixed by mechanical means.

**125.** **Declaration of dividends** 

Subject to the Act and these Articles, the Company may by ordinary resolution declare dividends to be paid to members according to their respective rights and interests in the profits of the Company. However, no dividend shall exceed the amount recommended by the Board.

**126.** **Interim dividends** 

126.1 Subject to the Act, the Board may declare and pay such interim dividends (including any dividend at a
fixed rate) as appears to the Board to be justified by the profits of the Company available for distribution. If the Board acts in good
faith, it shall not incur any liability to the holders of shares for any loss that they may suffer by the lawful payment of any interim
dividend on any other class of shares ranking with or after those shares.

126.2 If the share capital is divided into different classes, the Board may pay interim dividends on shares
which confer deferred or non-preferred rights with regard to dividend as well as on shares which confer preferential rights with regard
to dividend, but no interim dividend shall be paid on shares carrying deferred or non-preferred rights if, at the time of payment, any
preferential dividend is in arrears.

126.3 The Board may also pay at intervals settled by them any dividend payable at a fixed rate if it appears
to them that the profits available for distribution justify the payment. If the Directors act in good faith they shall not incur any liability
to the holders of shares conferring preferred

126.4 rights for any loss they may suffer by the lawful payment of a dividend on any shares having deferred
or non-preferred rights.

**127.** **Calculation and currency of dividends** 

Except as provided otherwise by the rights attached to shares, all dividends:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) shall be declared and paid accordingly to the amounts paid up (otherwise than in advance of calls) on
the shares on which the dividend is paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) shall be apportioned and paid proportionately to the amounts paid up on the shares during any portion
or portions of the period in respect of which the dividend is paid, but 1f any share is issued on terms that it shall rank for dividend
as from a particular date, it shall rank for dividend accordingly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) may be declared or paid in any currency. The Board may decide the rate of exchange for any currency conversions
that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

**128.** **Amounts due on shares can be deducted from dividends** 

The Board may deduct from any dividend or other money payable to any person on or in respect of a share all such sums as may be due from him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise in relation to the shares of the Company. Sums so deducted can be used to pay amounts owing to the Company in respect of the shares.

**129.** **Dividends not in cash** 

The Board may, by ordinary resolution of the Company direct, or in the case of an interim dividend may without the authority of an ordinary resolution direct, that payment of any dividend declared may be satisfied wholly or partly by the distribution of assets, and in particular of paid-up shares or debentures of any other company, or in any one or more of such ways. Where any difficulty arises regarding such distribution, the Board may settle it as it thinks fit. In particular, the Board may:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) issue fractional certificates (or ignore fractions);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) fix the value for distribution of such assets or any part of them and determine that cash payments may
be made to any members on the footing of the values so fixed, in order to adjust the rights of members; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) vest any such assets in trustees on trust for the person entitled to the dividend.

**130.** **No interest on dividends** 

Unless otherwise provided by the rights attached to the share, no dividend, or other monies payable by the Company or in respect of a share shall bear interest as against the Company.

**131.** **Method of payment** 

131.1 The Company may pay any dividend, interest, or other sum payable in respect of a share wholly or partly
in cash or by direct debit, bank transfer, cheque, dividend warrant, or money order or by any other method, including by electronic means,
as the Board may consider appropriate. For uncertificated shares, any payment may be made by means of the relevant system (subject always
to the facilities and requirements of the relevant system) and such payment may be made by the Company or any person on its behalf by
sending an instruction to the operator of the relevant system to credit the cash memorandum account of the holder or joint holders of
such shares or, if permitted by the Company, of such person as the holder or joint holders may in writing direct.

131.2 The Company may send such payment by post or other delivery service (or by such means offered by the Company
as the member or person entitled to it may agree in writing) to the registered address of the member or person entitled to it (or, if
two or more persons are holders of the share or are jointly entitled to it because of the death or bankruptcy of the member or otherwise
by operation of law, to the registered address of such of those persons as is first named in the Register) or to such person and such
address as such member or person may direct in writing.

131.3 Every cheque, warrant, order or other form of payment is sent at the risk of the person entitled to the
money represented by it, shall be made payable to the person or persons entitled, or to such other person as the person or persons entitled
may direct in writing. Payment of the cheque, warrant, order or other form of payment (including transmission of funds through a bank
transfer or other funds transfer system or by such other electronic means as permitted by these Articles or in accordance with the facilities
and requirements of the relevant system concerned) shall be good discharge to the Company. If any such cheque, warrant, order, or other
form of payment has or shall be alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed the Company shall not be responsible.

131.4 Any joint holder or other person jointly entitled to a share may give an effective receipt for any dividend
or other monies payable in respect of such share.

131.5 The Board may, at its discretion, make provisions to enable any member as the Board shall determine to
receive duly declared dividends in a currency or currencies other than sterling. For the purposes of the calculation of the amount receivable
in respect of any dividend, the rate of exchange to be used to determine the foreign currency equivalent of any sum payable as a dividend
shall be such rate or rates and the payment shall be on such terms and conditions as the Board may in its absolute discretion determine

131.6 In respect of the payment of any dividend or other sum which is a distribution, the Board may decide,
and notify recipients, that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) one or more of the means described in this Article will be used for payment and a recipient may elect
to receive the payment by one of the means so notified m the manner prescribed by the Directors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) one or more of such means will be used for the payment unless a recipient elects otherwise in the manner
prescribed by the Directors; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) one or more of such means will be used for the payment and that recipients will not be able to elect otherwise,
the Board may for this purpose decide that different methods of payment may apply to different recipients or groups of recipients.

131.7 All cheques, warrants and similar financial instruments are sent, and payment in any other way is made,
at the risk of the person who Is entitled to the money and the Company will not be responsible for a payment which is lost, rejected,
or delayed. The Company can rely on a receipt for a dividend or other money paid in relation to a share from any one of the joint recipients
on behalf of all of them. The Company is treated as having paid a dividend if the cheque, warrant or similar financial instrument is cleared
or if a payment is made using a relevant system or inter-bank transfer or other electronic means.

131.8 Subject to the rights attaching to any shares, any dividends or other monies payable on or in respect
of a share may be declared or paid in such currency or currencies and using such exchange rate or such date for determining the value
or currency conversions as the Directors may determine.

**132.** **Uncashed dividends** 

If cheques, warrants or orders for dividends or other sums payable in respect of a share sent by the Company to the person entitled to them are returned to the Company or left uncashed on two consecutive occasions or, following one occasion, reasonable enquires have failed to establish any new address to be used for the purpose, the Company does not have to send any dividends or other monies payable in respect of that share due to that person until they notifies the Company of an address to be used for the purpose. If any such cheque, warrant or order has or is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Directors may, on request of the person entitled to it, issue a replacement cheque, warrant or order subject to compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out of pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

**133.** **Unclaimed dividends** 

All dividends, interest, or other sums payable and unclaimed for 12 months after having become payable may be invested or otherwise made use of by the Board for the benefit of the Company until claimed. The Company shall not be a trustee in respect of such unclaimed dividends and will not be liable to pay interest on it. All dividends that remain unclaimed for twelve (12) years after they were first declared or became due for payment shall (if the Board so resolves) be forfeited and shall cease to remain owing by the Company.

**134.** **Scrip dividends** 

134.1 Subject to the Act, the Board may, by ordinary resolution of the Company and subject to such terms and
conditions as the Board may determine, offer to any holders of shares (excluding any member holding shares as treasury shares) the right
to elect to receive shares, credited as fully paid, instead of cash in respect of the whole (or some part, to be determined by the Board)
of any dividend specified by the ordinary resolution. The following provisions shall apply:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the said resolution may specify a particular dividend, or may specify all or any dividends declared within
a specified period or periods, but such period may not end later than the fifth anniversary of the date of the meeting at which the ordinary
resolution is passed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) the entitlement of each holder of shares to new shares shall be such that the relevant value of the entitlement
shall be as nearly as possible equal to (but not greater than) the cash amount (disregarding any tax credit) of the dividend that such
holder would have received by way of dividend. For this purpose **relevant value** shall be calculated by reference to the average
of the middle market quotations for the shares on Nasdaq (or any other stock exchange on which the Company's shares are normally traded)
or any other publication of a recognised investment exchange showing quotations for the Company's shares), for the day on which the shares
are first quoted **"ex"** the relevant dividend and the four subsequent dealing days, or in such other manner as the Board
may determine on such basis as it considers to be fair and reasonable. A certificate or report by the Company's auditors as to the amount
of the relevant value in respect of any dividend shall be conclusive evidence of that amount;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) no fractions of a share shall be allotted. The Board may make such provisions as it thinks fit for any
fractional entitlements including provisions where, in whole or in part, the benefit accrues to the Company and/or under which fractional
entitlements are accrued and/or retained and in each case accumulated on behalf of any member and such accruals or retentions are applied
to the allotment by way of bonus to or cash subscription on behalf of any member of fully paid shares and/or provisions where cash payments
may be made to members in respect of their fractional entitlements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the Board shall, after determining the basis of allotment, notify the holders of shares in writing of
the right of election offered to them, and specify the procedure to be followed and place at which, and the latest time by which, elections
must be lodged In order to be effective. No such notice need to be given to holders of shares who have previously given election mandates
in accordance with this Article and whose mandates have not been revoked. The accidental omission to give notice of any right of
election to, or the non-receipt (even if the Company becomes aware of such non-receipt) of any such notice by, any holder of shares entitled
to the same shall neither invalidate any offer of an election nor give rise to any claim, suit or action;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) The Board may on any occasion decide that rights of election shall only be made available subject to such
exclusions, restrictions or other arrangements as they shall in their absolute discretion deem necessary
or desirable in order to comply with legal or practical problems under the laws of, or the requirements of any recognised regulatory body
or stock exchange in, any territory;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) the Board shall not proceed with any election unless the company has sufficient reserves or funds that
may be capitalised, and the Board has authority to allot sufficient shares, to give effect to it after the basis of the allotment is determined;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(g) the Board may exclude from any offer or make other arrangements in relation to any holders of shares where
the Board considers that the making of the offer to them or in respect of such shares would or might involve the contravention of the
laws of any territory or that for any other reason the *offer* should not be made to them or in respect of such shares;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Unless the Board decides otherwise or the rules of a relevant system require otherwise, any new shares
which a holder has elected to receive instead of cash in respect of some or all of their dividend will be :

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) shares in uncertificated form if the corresponding elected shares were uncertificated shares on the record
date for that dividend; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) shares in certificated form if the corresponding elected shares were shares in certificated form on the
record date for that dividend;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the Board may establish or vary a procedure for election mandates in respect of future rights of election
and may determine that every duly effected election in respect of any shares shall be binding on every successor in title to the holder;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(j) the dividend (or that part of the dividend in respect of which a right of election has been offered) shall
not be payable on shares in respect of which an election has been duly made **(elected shares)** and instead additional shares shall
be allotted to the holders of the elected shares on the basis of allotment determined as stated above. For such purpose the Board may
capitalise, out of any amount for the time being standing to the credit of any reserve or fund (including any share premium account or
capital redemption reserve) or of any of the profits which could otherwise have been applied in paying dividends in cash as the Board
may determine, a sum equal to the aggregate nominal amount of the additional shares to be allotted on such basis and apply it in paying
up in full the appropriate number of unissued shares for allotment and distribution to the holders of the elected shares on such basis . The Board may do all acts and things considered necessary or expedient to give effect to any such capitalisation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) the Board may decide how any costs relating to the new shares available in place of a cash dividend will
be met, including to deduct an amount from the entitlement of a holder of shares under this Article;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) the additional shares so allotted shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and with the fully
paid shares in issue on the record date for the dividend in respect of which the right of election has been offered, except that they
will not rank for any dividend or other distribution or other entitlement which has been declared, paid or made by reference to such record
date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) the Board may terminate, suspend, or amend any offer of the right to elect to receive shares in lieu of
any cash dividend at any time and generally may implement any scrip dividend scheme on such terms and conditions as the Board may determine
and take such other action as the Board may deem necessary or desirable in respect of any such scheme; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(n) The Board may do all acts and things which they consider necessary or expedient to give effect to any
such capitalisation, and may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all the members interested into an agreement with the Company
providing for such capitalisation and incidental matters and any agreement so made shall be binding on all concerned.

**135.** **Capitalisation of reserves** 

135.1 The Board may, with the authority of an ordinary resolution of the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) subject as provided in this Article, resolve to capitalise any undivided profits of the Company not required
for paying any preferential dividend (whether or not they are available for distribution) or any sum standing to the credit of any reserve
or fund of the Company which is available for distribution or standing to the credit of the share premium account of capital redemption
reserve or other undistributable reserve;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) appropriate the sum resolved to be capitalised to the members in proportion to the nominal amounts of
the shares (whether or not fully paid) held by them respectively which would entitle them to participate in a distribution of that sum
if the shares were fully paid and the sum were then distributable and were distributed by way of dividend and apply such sum on their
behalf either in or towards paying up the amounts, if any, for the time being unpaid on any shares held by them respectively, or in paying
up in full unissued shares or debentures of the Company of a nominal amount equal to that sum, and allot the shares or debentures credited
as fully paid to those members or as they may direct, in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, provided that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the share premium account, the capital redemption reserve, any other undistributable reserve and any profits
which are not available for distribution may, for the purposes of this Article, only be applied in paying up in full shares to be allotted
to members credited as fully paid;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the Company will also be entitled to participate in the relevant distribution in relation *to* any
shares of the relevant class held by it as treasury shares and the proportionate entitlement of the relevant class of members to the distribution
will be calculated accordingly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) in a case where any sum is applied in paying amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares of the Company
or in paying up in full debentures of the Company, the amount of the net assets of the Company at that time in not less than the aggregate
of the called up share capital of the Company and its undistributable reserves as shown in the latest audited accounts of the Company
or such other accounts as may be relevant and would not be reduced below that aggregate by the payment of it;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) resolve that any shares so allotted to any member in respect of a holding by him of any partly paid shares
shall, so long as such shares remain partly paid, rank for dividends only to the extent that such partly paid shares rank for dividends;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) make such provision by the issue of fractional certificates (or by ignoring fractions or by accruing the
benefit of it to the Company rather than to the members concerned) or by payment in cash or otherwise as it thinks fit in the case of
shares or debentures becoming distributable in fractions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) authorise any person to enter on behalf of such members concerned into an agreement with the Company providing
for either:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) the allotment to them respectively, credited as fully paid up, of any shares or debentures to which they
may be entitled on such capitalisation; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) the payment up by the Company on behalf of such members by the application of their respective proportions
of the reserves or profits resolved to be capitalised, of the amounts or any part of the amounts remaining unpaid on their existing shares,

(any agreement made under such authority being effective and binding on all such members); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) generally do all acts and things required to give effect to such resolution.

135.2 Where, pursuant to an employees' share scheme (within the meaning of section 1166 of the Act) or any similar
scheme under which participation is extended to non-executive Directors or consultants providing services to the Company or any of its
subsidiaries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) the Company has granted options to subscribe for shares on terms which provide (inter alia) for adjustments
to the subscription price payable on the exercise of such options or to the number of shares to be allotted upon such exercise in the
event of any increase or reduction in or other reorganisation of the Company's issued share capital and an otherwise appropriate adjustment
would result in the subscription price for any share being less than its nominal value, then the Board may, on the exercise of any of
the options concerned and payment of the subscription price which would have applied had such adjustment been made, capitalise any such
profits or other

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) sum as is mentioned in Article 135.1(a) to the extent necessary to pay up the unpaid balance
of the nominal value of the shares which fall to be allotted on the exercise of such options and apply such amount in paying up such balance
and allot shares fully paid accordingly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) the Company has granted (or assumed liability to satisfy) rights to subscribe for shares (whether in the
form of stock options, stock units, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and units, dividend equivalent rights
or otherwise) then the Board may, in connection with the issue of shares, capitalise any such profits or other sum as is mentioned in
Article 135.1 to the extent necessary to pay up the unpaid balance of the nominal value of the shares which fall to be issued in
connection with such rights to subscribe and apply such amount in paying up such balance and allot shares fully paid accordingly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) the provisions of Article 135.1(a) to (f) shall apply with the necessary alterations to
this Article.

**136.** **Record dates** 

136.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of these Articles but without prejudice to the rights attached to
any shares and subject always to the Act, the Company or the Board may by resolution specify any date (record date) as the date at the
close of business (or such other time as the Board may determine) on which persons registered as the holders of shares or other securities
shall be entitled to receipt of any dividend, distribution, interest, allotment, issue, notice, information, document or circular. Such
record date may be before, on or after the date on which the dividend, distribution, interest, allotment, issue, notice, information,
document, or circular is declared, made, paid, given, or served.

136.2 In the absence of a record date being fixed, entitlement to any dividend, distribution, interest, allotment,
issue, notice, information, document or circular shall be determined by reference to the date on which the dividend is declared, the distribution
allotment or issue is made or the notice, information, document or circular made, given or served.

**137.** **Inspection of records** 

No member (other than a Director) shall have any right to inspect any accounting record or other document of the Company unless they are authorised to do so by law, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, by the Board or by ordinary resolution of the Company.

part of the Directors' remuneration report are those persons entered on the Register at the close of business on a day determined by the
Board, provided that the day determined by the Board may not be more than twenty-one (21) days before the day that the relevant copies
are being sent.

138.4 Where permitted by the Act, a strategic report with supplementary material in the form and containing

The Sponsor understands and acknowledges that (i) each of Roman, the Merger Sub, the PubCo, the Company, and the Sellers are entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Sponsor's execution and delivery of this Support Agreement and (ii) immediate and irreparable harm or damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that money or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for such damage.

Within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date (the "<u>Filing Deadline</u>"), the Company shall submit to, or file with, the Commission a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-1 (the "<u>Form F-1 Shelf</u>") or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-3 (the "<u>Form F-3 Shelf</u>," and together with the Form F-1 Shelf, and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, the "<u>Shelf</u>"), if the Company is then eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf, in each case, covering the public resale of all the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such submission or filing) on a delayed or continuous basis and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such Shelf declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the sixtieth (60th) calendar day (or ninetieth (90th) calendar day if the Commission notifies the Company that it will "review" the Registration Statement) following the earlier of (A) the filing of the Registration Statement and (B) the Filing Deadline and (ii) the seventh (7th) Business Day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review by the Commission (such deadline the "<u>Effectiveness Deadline</u>"); provided, that if the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline or the Effectiveness Deadline, as the case may be, shall be extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if a Government Shutdown occurs or is continuing during any portion of the period between the Closing Date and the Effectiveness Deadline, the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended by the length of such period during which the Government Shutdown occurs and is continuing. Such Shelf shall provide for the resale of the Registrable Securities included therein pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. In the event the Company files a Form F-1 Shelf, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf (and any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form F-3 Shelf as soon as reasonably practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form F-3. The Company shall maintain a Shelf in accordance with the terms hereof, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements as may be necessary to keep a Shelf continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. The Company's obligation under this <u>Section 2.1.1</u>, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>. If (A) the Shelf is not filed on or prior to the Filing Deadline, (B) the Shelf is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline, or (C) at any time on or after the Effectiveness Deadline the Shelf (or any Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement covering Registrable Securities) ceases to be effective or usable for the public resale of Registrable Securities for more than ten (10) consecutive Business Days or for more than an aggregate of thirty (30) Business Days in any twelve (12) month period (each such event, a "<u>Registration Default</u>"), then, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash (the "<u>Liquidated Damages</u>") equal to 0.50% of the product of (x) the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Holder that are not then freely saleable without restriction under Rule 144 and (y) the volume-weighted average price of the Ordinary Shares for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date of such Registration Default, for each full thirty (30) day period during which such Registration Default is continuing (with such amount pro-rated for any partial thirty (30) day period). Liquidated Damages shall accrue from and including the date of the applicable Registration Default until, but excluding, the date on which such Registration Default is cured, and shall be payable by the Company in arrears within five (5) Business Days after the end of each thirty (30) day period (or portion thereof) in which such Liquidated Damages accrue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Liquidated Damages shall accrue or be payable (i) during any period that a Registration Default exists solely as a result of any Holder's failure to timely provide information reasonably requested by the Company that is required to be included in a Registration Statement or Prospectus supplement, (ii) during any bona fide suspension or blackout period permitted under Section 3.4 of this Agreement; provided that the aggregate duration of all such suspensions or blackout periods shall not exceed the number of days set forth in clause (C) above without giving rise to a Registration Default, or (iii) during any period that a Registration Default exists as a result of an event outside the Company's reasonable control, including but not limited to Government Shutdown or failure to obtain consent of its independent registered public accounting firm or other required consents from auditors to include such firm's audit report in the Registration Statement, provided that the Company has used its best efforts to avoid such Registration Default. The parties agree that the Liquidated Damages provided for in this Section 2.1.1 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by the Holders as a result of a Registration Default and are not intended to constitute a penalty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.2 <u>Subsequent Shelf Registration</u>. If, after the Company has elected to file a Shelf and such Shelf becomes effective, such Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, the Company shall, subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act with respect to the public resale of all the Registrable Securities (including using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement as a Shelf Registration (a "<u>Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement</u>") registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (it being agreed that the Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) if the Company is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act) at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date) and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, available for use to permit the Holders named therein to sell their Registrable Securities included therein and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form F-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form. The Company's obligation under this <u>Section 2.1.2</u>, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.3 <u>Additional Registrable Securities</u>. Subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to a Shelf filed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.1, the Company, upon written request of a SPAC Holder or a TLC Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company's option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the Company shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered once per calendar year for each of the Sponsor, the other SPAC Holders (as a group) and the TLC Holders (as a group). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.1.3 does not create any obligation of the Company to file a Shelf pursuant to Section 2.1.1 of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.1.4 <u>Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns</u>. Subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, at any time and from time to time after the expiration of any Lock-Up Period to which a Holder's shares are subject and when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, one or more Holders may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (if such Shelf has been filed by the Company) (each, an "<u>Underwritten Shelf Takedown</u>"); <u>provided</u> that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Shelf Requesting Holder, either individually or together with other Shelf Requesting Holders, with an aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, reasonably expected to exceed at least $25 million (the "<u>Minimum Amount</u>"). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the planned public announcement of the Underwritten Shelf Takedown (a "<u>Shelf Takedown Notice</u>"), which Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the "<u>Company Shelf Takedown Notice</u>") and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Underwritten Shelf Takedown (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, a "<u>Shelf Requesting Holder</u>") shall so notify the Company of its intent to participate in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in writing, within two (2) Business Days after the receipt by such Holder of the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Shelf Requesting Holder to the Company, subject to the provisions of Section 2.2.4, the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown all Registrable Securities of such Shelf Requesting Holder. Subject to Section 2.5.4, the Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Shelf Demanding Holder's prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Any Underwritten Shelf Takedown effected pursuant to this Section 2.1.4 shall be counted as a Registration for purposes of the limit on the number of Registrations that can be effected under Section 2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may consummate an Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then effective Registration Statement, including a Form F-3, that is then available for such offering.

The Company shall, within ten (10) days following the Company's receipt of a Demand Registration, notify, in writing, all other Holders of Registrable Securities of such demand, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration (each such Holder that includes all or a portion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Registration, a "<u>Requesting Holder</u>") shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. Upon receipt by the Company of any such written notification from a Requesting Holder to the Company, subject to <u>Section 2.2.4</u> below, such Requesting Holder shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration and the Company shall file, as soon thereafter as practicable, but not more than forty-five (45) days immediately after the Company's receipt of the Demand Registration, and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to effect the Registration of all Registrable Securities requested by the Demanding Holders and Requesting Holders pursuant to such Demand Registration as soon as practicable.

Notwithstanding the provisions of <u>Section 2.2.1</u> above or any other part of this Agreement, a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration shall not count as a Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) the Company has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, an offering of Registrable Securities in a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration is subsequently interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission, federal or state court or any other governmental agency, the Registration Statement with respect to such Registration shall be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating such Demand Registration thereafter affirmatively elect to continue with such Registration and accordingly notify the Company in writing, but in no event later than five (5) days after the removal, rescission or other termination of such stop order or injunction, of such election; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that the Company shall not be obligated or required to file another Registration Statement until the Registration Statement that has been previously filed with respect to a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration by a Demanding Holder becomes effective or is subsequently terminated.

Subject to the provisions of <u>Section 2.2.4</u> and <u>Section 3.4</u>, if a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders so advise the Company as part of their Demand Registration that the offering of the Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering, then the right of such Demanding Holder or Requesting Holder (if any) to include its Registrable Securities in such Registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such Underwritten Offering and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Offering to the extent provided herein. All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Offering under this <u>Section 2.2.3</u> shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Company and the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders initiating the Demand Registration, such selection subject to the prior written consent of the Company, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

If withdrawn, a demand for an Underwritten Offering shall be counted as a Registration for purposes of the limit on the number of Registrations that can be effected under <u>Section 2.2.1</u>, unless either (i) such Demanding Holder (or Shelf Demanding Holder, as applicable) has not previously withdrawn any Underwritten Shelf Takedown or (ii) such Demanding Holder (or Shelf Demanding Holder, as applicable) reimburses the Company for all Registration Expenses, with respect to such Underwritten Offering (or, if there is more than one Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder, as applicable, a pro rata portion of such Registration Expenses based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder, as applicable, has requested be included in such Underwritten Offering); <u>provided</u> that, if one or more Demanding Holders (or Shelf Demanding Holders, as applicable) elect to continue such Underwritten Offering pursuant to the provision the immediately preceding sentence, such Underwritten Offering shall instead count as a Registration demanded by such remaining Demanding Holders (or Shelf Demanding Holders, as applicable), as applicable, for purposes of <u>Section 2.2.1</u>. Following the receipt of any Withdrawal Notice, the Company shall promptly forward such Withdrawal Notice to any other Holders that had elected to participate in such Underwritten Offering.

The inclusion of any Holder's Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration shall be subject to such Holder agreement to enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Holders shall have no rights under this <u>Section 2.3.1</u> if the registration statement the Company proposes to file is solely for purposes of a delayed or continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act and, at the time of the filing of such registration statement, the Company is in compliance with its obligations under <u>Section 2.1</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.2 <u>Reduction of Piggyback Registration</u>. If a Piggyback Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering and the managing Underwriter or Underwriters, in good faith, advises the Company and the Holders of Registrable Securities participating in the Piggyback Registration in writing that, in its opinion, the dollar amount or number of the Ordinary Shares that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (a) the Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities hereunder, (b) the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant <u>Section 2.3</u> hereof, and (c) the Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which Registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other shareholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) if the Registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall include in any such Registration (i) first, the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Holders of Registrable Securities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Registrable Securities of Holders exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to <u>Section 2.3.1</u> hereof, pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Holder has requested be included in such Registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Holders have requested to be included in such Registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell for its own account, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iv) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the Ordinary Shares or other equity securities for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.3 <u>Piggyback Registration Withdrawal</u>. Any Holder of Registrable Securities (other than a Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder, whose right to withdraw from an Underwritten Offering, and related obligations, shall be governed by <u>Section 2.2.5</u>) shall have the right to withdraw from a Piggyback Registration for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of his, her or its intention to withdraw such Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Piggyback Registration or, in the case of a Piggyback Registration pursuant to an Underwritten Offering, the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement with respect to such Piggyback Registration used for marketing such transaction. The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons or entities pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than <u>Section 2.2.5</u>), the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with the Piggyback Registration prior to its withdrawal under this <u>Section 2.3.3</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.3.4 <u>Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights</u>. For purposes of clarity, subject to <u>Section 2.2.5</u>, any Piggyback Registration effected pursuant to <u>Section 2.3</u> shall not be counted as a Registration for purposes of the limit on the number of Registrations that can be effected under <u>Section 2.2.1</u>.

In connection with any Underwritten Offering of equity securities of the Company (other than a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering), if requested by the managing Underwriters, each Holder participating in such Underwritten Offering that is an executive officer, director, or Holder holding in excess of five percent (5%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares (and for which it is customary for such a Holder to agree to a lock-up) agrees that it shall not Transfer any Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of the Company (other than those included in such offering pursuant to this Agreement), without the prior written consent of the Company, during the ninety (90)-calendar day period (or such shorter time agreed to by the managing Underwriters) beginning on the date of pricing of such offering, except as expressly permitted by such lock-up agreement or in the event the managing Underwriters otherwise agree by written consent. Each such Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5 <u>Block Trades; Other Coordinated Offerings</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of this <u>Article II</u>, but subject to <u>Section 3.4</u>, at any time and from time to time when an effective Registration Statement is on file with the Commission, if a Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder, as applicable, wishes to engage in (a) an underwritten registered offering not involving a "roadshow," an offer commonly known as a "block trade" (a "<u>Block Trade</u>") or (b) an "at the market" or similar registered offering through a broker, sales agent or distribution agent, whether as agent or principal, (an "<u>Other Coordinated Offering</u>"), in each case, either (x) with an aggregate offering price reasonably expected to exceed the Minimum Amount or (y) with respect to all remaining Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder, then such Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder only needs to notify the Company of the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering at least five (5) Business Days prior to the day such offering is to commence and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering; <u>provided</u> that the Demanding Holders or Shelf Demanding Holders, as applicable, representing a majority of the Registrable Securities wishing to engage in the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall use commercially reasonable efforts to work with the Company and any Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or placement agents prior to making such request in order to facilitate preparation of the registration statement, prospectus and other offering documentation related to the Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering. For the avoidance of doubt, an offering of Registrable Securities in which a negative assurance letter of counsel to the Company or a comfort letter of the accountants of the Company is to be delivered to the Underwriter or Underwriters, brokers, sales agents or distribution agents, as applicable, shall not be considered a Block Trade or an Other Coordinated Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5.2 Prior to the filing of the applicable "red herring" prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering, a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders or Shelf Demanding Holders initiating such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to submit a Withdrawal Notice to the Company, the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents (if any) of their intention to withdraw from such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.5.4 The Demanding Holder or Shelf Demanding Holder in a Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering shall have the right to select the Underwriters and any brokers, sales agents or placement agents (if any) for such Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering (in each case, which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks).

For the avoidance of doubt, any Block Trade or Other Coordinated Offering effected pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5</u> shall not be counted as a Registration for purposes of the limit on the number of Registrations that can be effected under <u>Section 2.2.1</u>, and the procedures set forth in <u>Section 2.1.4</u> or <u>Section 2.2.3</u>, as applicable, with respect to an Underwritten Offering shall not apply with respect thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.17 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the participating Holders, consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in connection with such Registration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to provide any documents or information to an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent if such Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent has not then been named with respect to the applicable Underwritten Offering or other offering involving a registration as an Underwriter or broker, sales agent or placement agent, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.2 <u>Registration Expenses</u>. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters' commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of "Registration Expenses," all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.3 <u>Requirements for Participation in Registration Statement in Offerings</u>. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder's Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines, based on the advice of counsel, that such information is necessary to effect the registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person or entity may participate in any Underwritten Offering or other offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person or entity (i) agrees to sell such person's or entity's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting or other agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting, sales, distribution or placement arrangements. The exclusion of a Holder's Registrable Securities as a result of this <u>Section 3.3</u> shall not affect the registration of the other Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4 <u>Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure; Restrictions on Registration Rights</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.1 Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement or, in the opinion of counsel for the Company, it is necessary to supplement or amend such Prospectus to comply with law, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as reasonably practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.2 If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would (a) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, (b) require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company's control, audited financial statements as of a date other than the Company's fiscal year end, or pro forma financial statements that are required to be included in a Registration Statement or (c) in the good faith judgment of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, such Registration Statement would be seriously detrimental to the Company and it is therefore in the best interest of the Company to defer such submission, filing, initial effectiveness or continued use at such time, the Company shall have the right, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders (which notice shall not specify the nature of the event giving rise to such delay or suspension), delay the submission, filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under this <u>Section 3.4.2</u>, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities until such Holder receives written notice from the Company that such sales or offers of Registrable Securities may be resumed, and in each case maintain the confidentiality of such notice and its contents. The right to delay or suspend any filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, on not more than two (2) occasions during any twelve (12)-month period, and in no event shall the aggregate number of days of delay or suspension pursuant to this Section 3.4.2 exceed one hundred twenty (120) calendar days during any twelve (12)-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.4.3 (a) During the period starting with the date ninety (90) calendar days prior to the Company's good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) calendar days after the effective date of, a Company-initiated Registration and provided that the Company continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the applicable Registration, or (b) if, pursuant to <u>Section 2.1.4</u> or <u>Section 2.2.1</u>, Holders have requested an Underwritten Offering and the Company and such Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite such offering, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay any other registered offering pursuant to <u>Sections 2.1.4</u>, <u>2.2.1</u> or <u>2.5</u> for not more than sixty (60) consecutive calendar days, and the right to delay any registered offering pursuant to this Section 3.4.3 shall be exercised by the Company, in the aggregate, on not more than two (2) occasions during any twelve (12)-month period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.5 <u>Reporting Obligations</u>. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings; <u>provided</u> that any documents publicly filed or furnished with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR shall be deemed to have been furnished or delivered to the Holders pursuant to this <u>Section 3.5</u>. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell the Ordinary Shares held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule then in effect). Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.6 <u>Foreign Private Issuer Status</u>. As of such time as the Company ceases to be a "foreign private issuer" (as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), (i) all references in this Agreement to Form F-1 or a Form F-1 Shelf shall thereafter be deemed to refer to Form S-1 or a shelf registration on Form S-1, respectively, (ii) all references in this Agreement to Form F-3 or a Form F-3 Shelf shall thereafter be deemed to refer to a Form S-3 or a shelf registration on Form S-3, respectively, and (iii) the Company shall promptly take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure the Holders gain the expected benefit of this Agreement, including by filing (and making effective) any post-effective amendment to an existing Registration Statement or a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.

**ARTICLE IV**

**<u>INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1 <u>Indemnification</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors and agents and each person or entity who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act), against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus (the "<u>Holder Information</u>") and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors, officers, affiliates, and agents and each person or entity who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented outside attorneys' fees) resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission of material fact contained or incorporated by reference in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement is contained in (or not contained in, in the case of an omission) any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Holder expressly for use therein; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person or entity who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.3 Any person or entity entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (<u>provided</u> that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person's or entity's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable, good faith judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable, good faith judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement includes a statement or admission of fault and culpability on the part of such indemnified party or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person or entity of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company's or such Holder's indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under <u>Section 4.1</u> from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by (or not made by, in the case of an omission), or relates to information supplied by (or not supplied by in the case of an omission), such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party's and indemnified party's relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the liability of any Holder under this <u>Section 4.1.5</u> shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in <u>Sections 4.1.1</u>, <u>4.1.2</u> and <u>4.1.3</u> above, any legal or other fees, charges or out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this <u>Section 4.1.5</u> were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this <u>Section 4.1.5</u>. No person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this <u>Section 4.1.5</u> from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Each party hereto agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party's respective address set forth in <u>Section 5.1</u> shall be effective service of process for any such Action, claim, demand, action or cause of action.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.5 <u>TRIAL BY JURY</u>. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY PROCEEDING, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE.

Upon the written consent of (a) the Company and (b) the Holders of a majority of the total Registrable Securities at such time, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the share capital of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected; <u>provided</u>, <u>further</u>, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof shall also require the written consent of (i) the SPAC Holders, so long as the SPAC Holders and their affiliates hold, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities representing at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the Registrable Securities held by the SPAC Holders as of the Closing Date and (ii) a TLC Holder, so long as such TLC Holder and its affiliates hold, in the aggregate, Registrable Securities representing at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate or be construed as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.7 <u>Other Registration Rights</u>. The Company represents and warrants that no person or entity, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person or entity. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.8 <u>Term</u>. This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (ii) with respect to any Holder, on the date that such Holder no longer holds any Registrable Securities, and with respect to the Company, on the date that no Registrable Securities remain outstanding. The provisions of <u>Section 3.5</u> and <u>Article IV</u> shall survive any termination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.9 <u>Holder Information</u>. Each Holder agrees, if requested in writing, to represent to the Company the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holder in order for the Company to make determinations hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.10 <u>Additional Holders; Joinder</u>. In addition to persons or entities who may become Holders pursuant to <u>Section 5.2</u>, subject to the prior written consent of (i) the Sponsor, so long as the Sponsor and its affiliates hold Registrable Securities representing, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, and (ii) each TLC Holder holding, together with its affiliates, Registrable Securities representing, in the aggregate, at least five percent (5%) of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, the Company may make any person or entity who acquires Ordinary Shares or rights to acquire Ordinary Shares after the date hereof a party to this Agreement (each such person or entity, an "<u>Additional Holder</u>") by obtaining an executed Joinder to this Agreement from such Additional Holder. Such Joinder shall specify the rights and obligations of the applicable Additional Holder under this Agreement. Upon the execution and delivery and subject to the terms of a Joinder by such Additional Holder, the Ordinary Shares then owned, or underlying any rights then owned, by such Additional Holder (the "<u>Additional Holder Ordinary Shares</u>") shall be Registrable Securities to the extent provided herein and therein and such Additional Holder shall be a Holder under this Agreement with respect to such Additional Holder Ordinary Shares.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.11 <u>Construction</u>.

February 27, 2026

Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II

3300 S. Dixie Hwy Ste 179

West Palm Beach, FL 33405

Attention: Dixon Doll, Jr.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This is to confirm our amended and restated agreement (the "Agreement") whereby Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II, a Cayman Islands exempted company **("Company"),** has requested B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the **"Advisor")** to assist it in connection with the Company engaging in a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination (in each case, a **"Business Combination")** with one or more businesses (each a **"Target")** as described in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-282186) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission **("Registration Statement")** in connection with its initial public offering **("IPO")**. This Agreement also confirms the terms whereby the Advisor will assist the Company and ThomasLloyd Climate Solutions B.V. ("**ThomasLloyd**") in connection with a Business Combination. In connection with the Business Combination involving ThomasLloyd and the Company, both the Company and ThomasLloyd will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of a new holding company, TL Topco PLC. Following its formation, TL Topco PLC will sign a joinder agreement to this Agreement. References herein to ThomasLloyd include TL Topco PLC.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. <u>Services and Fees</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Advisor will, from time to time, upon the Company's request and in consultation with the Company:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Assist the Company in arranging meetings with its stockholders to discuss
 one or more potential Business Combinations, including discussions of the applicable potential
 Target's attributes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) Introduce the Company to potential investors to purchase the Company's
 securities in connection with the Business Combination;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) Provide financial advisory services to assist the Company in the Company's
 efforts to obtain any stockholder approval for one or more Business Combinations, until such
 time as the Company has completed an initial Business Combination; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) Assist
 the Company with any press releases and / or
 filings related to the Business Combination or related Target (the activities described in
 the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv), the **"Services").** 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Services to be provided for hereunder will not include any solicitation of potential investors in connection with the IPO or Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) As compensation for the Services, the Company will pay the Advisor a cash fee equal to, in the aggregate, 4.5% of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the sale of its equity securities pursuant to the Registration Statement during the IPO, including any proceeds from the full or partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option described therein (the **"Fee").** The Fee shall be exclusive of any other fees which may become payable to the Advisor pursuant to any other agreement between the Advisor and the Company or the Target.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) In regards to a Business Combination between the Company and ThomasLloyd,
 the Advisor has agreed to structure the payment of the Fee based upon the gross proceeds
 available to the combined company at the closing of the Business Combination, including (i) proceeds
 retained following the redemption deadline from the Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II trust
 account; (ii) any proceeds from a PIPE offering; and (iii) proceeds from any other
 source (collectively, the "**Gross Proceeds** "). The Company will pay
 the Advisor at closing:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 30%
 of Gross Proceeds on the first $10,000,000 of Gross Proceeds, plus

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· 10% of incremental Gross
 Proceeds exceeding $10,000,000 up to the total amount of the Fee.

If all or any portion of the Fee is not paid in full at closing, ThomasLloyd agrees and is obligated immediately upon the closing of the Business Combination to enter into a committed equity facility (the "CEF") with B. Riley or an affiliated entity of B. Riley. If the Fee has not been paid in its entirety at closing or subsequent to closing then the ThomasLloyd agrees, taking into account market conditions and its impact on the stock price and approval of its board of directors, to maximize its use of the CEF, subject to standard ownership and volume limitations, and pay to B. Riley 30% of the net proceeds raised from the CEF until such time as the Fee is paid in full. If the Fee has not been paid in full by the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing of the Business Combination, ThomasLloyd shall pay in cash to Advisor in immediately available funds the balance of the Fee outstanding.

ThomasLloyd grants Advisor the right to act in the following capacities following the consummation of the Business Combination:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>At-the-Market Offering</u> – B. Riley shall serve as lead
 distribution agent for any at-the-market offering ()"**ATM**") and shall receive
 underwriting compensation equal to 2.0% of the gross proceeds raised for a period of 24 months
 following the consummation of the Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Capital Markets</u> – Until the Fee is paid in full, B. Riley
 shall serve as joint lead underwriter and jo in t lead bookrunner in connection with any
 public offering of equity or equity-linked securities or other capital markets financing,
 with B. Riley receiving equal economics to other joint lead underwriters; and placement agent
 in any private offering of equity or equity-linked securities or other capital markets financing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. <u>Expenses</u>.

At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse the Advisor for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Advisor (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with the performance of the Services hereunder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Advisor shall not share with third parties any Information, presentations and/or materials about the Company, its stockholders and/or affiliates, the initial Business Combination and any Targets, to the extent that any such information is not already provided to the public in the Registration Statement unless the Advisor obtain the Company's prior written approval (which may be provided via email).

ANNEX **l**

**Indemnification**

In connection with the Company's engagement of B. Riley Securities, Inc. (together, the **"Advisor")** pursuant to that certain letter agreement **("Agreement")** of which this Annex forms a part, Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II (the **"Company")** hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Advisor and its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, controlling persons (within the meaning of the federal securities laws) and employees of any of the foregoing (collectively the **"Indemnified Persons"),** from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings (including those of stockholders), damages, liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel), as incurred (collectively a **"Claim"),** that

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(A) are related to or arise out of (i) any actions taken or omitted to be taken (including any untrue statements made or any statements omitted to be made) by the Company, or (ii) any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any Indemnified Person in connection with the Company's engagement of the Advisor, or (B) otherwise relate to or arise out of the Advisor's activities on the Company's behalf under the Advisor's engagement, and the Company shall reimburse any Indemnified Person for all fees, costs, expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) as incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating, preparing or defending any such claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether or not in connection with pending or threatened litigation in which any Indemnified Person is a party. The Company will not, however, be responsible for any portion of any such Claim that is finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any person seeking indemnification for such Claim. The Company further agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability (including without limitation, liability for any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements) to the Company or any person claiming through the Company for or in connection with the Company's engagement of the Advisor except where such liability is found in a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction (not subject to further appeal) to have resulted primarily and directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

The Company further agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Advisor, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such Claim), unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional, irrevocable release of each Indemnified Person from any and all liability arising out of such Claim.

Promptly upon receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any complaint or the assertion or institution of any Claim with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder, such Indemnified Person shall notify the Company in writing of such complaint or of such assertion or institution but failure to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation it may have hereunder, except and only to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the Company of substantial rights and defenses. If the Company so elects or is requested by such Indemnified Person, the Company will assume the defense of such Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person and the payment of the fees and expenses of such counsel. In the event, however, that legal counsel to such Indemnified Person reasonably determines that having common counsel would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or if the defendant in, or target of, any such Claim, includes an Indemnified Person and the Company, and legal counsel to such Indemnified Person reasonably concludes that there may be legal defenses available to it or other Indemnified Persons different from or in addition to those available to the Company, then such Indemnified Person may employ its own separate counsel to represent or defend him, her or it in any such Claim and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.

In addition, with respect to any Claim in which the Company assumes the defense, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such Claim and to retain his, her or its own counsel therefor at his, her or its own expense.

The Company agrees that if any indemnity sought by an Indemnified Person hereunder is held by a court to be unavailable for any reason then (whether or not the Advisor is an Indemnified Person), the Company and the Advisor shall contribute to the Claim for which such indemnity is held unavailable in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Advisor on the other, in connection with the Advisor's engagement referred to above, subject to the limitation that in no event shall the amount of the Advisor's contribution to such Claim exceed the amount of Fees actually received by the Advisor from the Company pursuant to such engagement. The Company hereby agrees that the relative benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Advisor on the other, with respect to the Advisor's engagement shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value paid or proposed to be paid or received by the Company or its stockholders as the case may be, pursuant to the transaction (whether or not consummated) for which the Advisor is engaged to render services bears to (b) the Fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Advisor in connection with such engagement.

The Company's indemnity, reimbursement and contribution obligations under this Agreement (a) shall be in addition to, and shall in no way limit or otherwise adversely affect any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at law or at equity and (b) shall be effective whether or not the Company is at fault in any way.

base across governments, multinational corporations, institutions and individuals worldwide.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Management has a proven 20-year track record
of world class execution in climate infrastructure projects and climate finance, delivering 115 projects across 20 countries totaling
~28 GW of power generation capacity, 92 million liters of annual liquid biofuels production capacity, and over 800 wastewater treatment
systems, among other projects, with US$2.8 billion in climate ﬁnance originated, demonstrating an ability to scale rapidly across
global markets and execute across multiple verticals in sustainable energy and decarbonization.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· A robust fast-growing commercial pipeline is
comprised of dozens of ready-to-execute projects in multiple countries across high-margin segments focused on the core markets of North
America and Asia-Pacific.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The scalable, purpose-built platform targets
an estimated US$275 trillion market opportunity driven by unprecedented global energy demand growth, accelerating energy transition efforts,
and rising national targets for energy and data sovereignty and security.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Led by founder and CEO Michael Sieg, ThomasLloyd
has a highly experienced management team combining decades of experience in energy, infrastructure, ﬁnance, and technology across
a number of regions and diverse sectors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Company enjoys what it believes to be a first-mover
advantage in the AI and data center energy nexus with its sustainable energy solutions that can be deployed significantly faster than
traditional alternatives at significantly lower capex, saving data centers 15-30% on energy costs while directly addressing the primary
bottleneck of energy availability for data center expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· An independent, vertically integrated platform
business model, positions ThomasLloyd to play a dominant role in the rapid consolidation of the highly fragmented and capital-constrained
North American and Asia Pacific energy markets through acquisition and integration of companies bringing world-class talent, IP, customer
relationships, and new geographies, as well as existing assets to the Company's already diversified offering.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· The Proposed Business Combination values ThomasLloyd
at a pre-money equity value of US$850 million and is expected to provide in excess of US$240 million in gross proceeds from a combination
of funds from cash held in Roman DBDR's trust account and an anticipated PIPE raise, before accounting for potential redemptions
and transaction expenses. There is no minimum cash closing condition associated with the Proposed Business Combination.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· Upon close of the proposed transaction, which
is anticipated in the second half of 2026, the combined entity will be named "Thomas Lloyd Climate Solutions Holdings PLC"
and is expected to list on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol "TCSG".

LONDON (February 27, 2026) – ThomasLloyd Climate Solutions B.V. ("ThomasLloyd" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated sustainable energy and technology solutions provider, and Roman DBDR Acquisition Corp. II (NASDAQ: DRDB, DRDBW, DRDBU) ("Roman DBDR"), today announced that they have entered into a definitive business combination agreement (the "Business Combination Agreement", and the transactions contemplated by that agreement, the "Proposed Business Combination"). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Roman DBDR and ThomasLloyd will become wholly-owned subsidiaries of a new holding company, which is to be incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and to be listed on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol "TCSG". The new holding company will be formed to facilitate the agreed-upon transaction structure.

**ThomasLloyd Overview**

ThomasLloyd, which has its origins dating back to 2003, has evolved into a vertically integrated provider of sustainable energy, decarbonization and climate finance solutions to public and private sector customers globally. The Company integrates development, investment, operations, and technology into a single independent platform, positioning itself as a comprehensive partner in climate infrastructure development and decarbonization worldwide. Its activities span multiple sectors, including renewable power generation, sustainable fuels, water and waste infrastructure, energy efficiency, transmission and distribution systems, and climate finance solutions supporting public and private sector energy goals. Today, ThomasLloyd serves a diverse customer base including governments, multinational corporations, institutions and individuals in more than 50 countries.

As an industry pioneer, ThomasLloyd has built deep financial, technical, social and operational expertise, driving sustainable infrastructure projects, systems and applications from origination through long-term operations. Its specialists have been responsible for the realization and operation of approximately 28 gigawatts (GW) of conventional and renewable power generation capacity, related transmission and distribution infrastructure, sustainable fuels production, water and waste treatment systems and energy efficiency solutions across various areas including mobility and built environment. This track record demonstrates the Company's ability to execute complex solutions in markets facing accelerating energy and sustainability demands.

ThomasLloyd's integrated model, aligning financial structuring with development and operational execution, enables the Company to own full client relationships and deliver end-to-end solutions. This allows the Company to broaden customer engagements, improve project economics, and capture long-term value through operational performance. Its climate finance platform includes tailored capital solutions, impact investing products, and carbon procurement strategies designed to accelerate climate mitigation and adaptation at scale.

**Management Commentary**

"We're witnessing a fundamental transformation in how the world thinks about energy infrastructure and resources – what started as climate concerns has evolved into an urgent economic and national security imperative, particularly as AI and data centers reshape energy demand patterns," said Michael Sieg, Founder and CEO of ThomasLloyd. "Our independent, vertically integrated platform, combining deep technical expertise with financial innovation and operational excellence, allows us to solve complex energy and decarbonization challenges that traditional players simply can't address at scale and with appropriate speed. The business combination with Roman DBDR would serve a dual purpose beyond raising capital – it accelerates our North American expansion and we believe establishes ThomasLloyd as the partner of choice for enterprises and governments seeking reliable, sustainable energy and technology solutions that can be delivered with exceptional speed and scale."

Vivienne Macalchlan, CFO of ThomasLloyd, says "Our strategic partnership with Roman DBDR and listing on Nasdaq would represent a pivotal step in ThomasLloyd's journey, providing us with a robust platform from which we can take advantage of significant global market opportunities. Our successes, evolution and learnings over the last few years have allowed us to develop a well thought-through customer centric energy and decarbonization offering. With Roman DBDR as our partner, our team has a unique opportunity to drive, grow and optimize market share, revenue and margin in a more pronounced manner than before."

"ThomasLloyd embodies the rare combination of visionary leadership, operational depth, and market timing that defines transformational investment opportunities," said Dixon Doll, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Roman DBDR. "Michael and his team have built something truly unique: a platform that doesn't just participate in the energy transition but actually drives it through innovative solutions and superior execution. ThomasLloyd's ability to navigate complex, multi-jurisdictional projects while maintaining strong stakeholder relationships demonstrates the kind of institutional-quality management we believe public markets will reward."

"This partnership embodies our conviction that the companies solving humanity's most pressing infrastructure challenges will generate exceptional long-term value for shareholders," added Dr. Donald Basile, Co-Founder of Roman DBDR. "ThomasLloyd's unique positioning as an independent 'one stop shop' for best-in-class sustainable infrastructure development, financing and operations puts it in the driver's seat as the global economy's demands for smart energy resources and applications continue to grow at a rapid pace. We are excited to support ThomasLloyd's vision for sustainable energy abundance."

**Growth & Market Overview**

ThomasLloyd has achieved first-mover advantage in the global energy transition infrastructure sector, which a leading management consultancy quantifies as a US$275 trillion market opportunity – equivalent to 7.5% of global GDP annually between 2021 and 2050. Three irreversible structural drivers are converging in the Company's core North American and Asia-Pacific markets simultaneously: unprecedented energy demand growth from economic growth and population expansion, urbanization, and AI/data center development, energy transition for decarbonization, and national energy sovereignty and security imperatives driving demand for domestically deployable solutions. The Company's independent, decentralized sustainable energy solutions deliver superior economics with significantly lower capex and significantly faster deployment compared to traditional grid-based fossil fuel systems.

This market position is supported by a fast-growing, robust commercial pipeline of potential investments across more than 40 projects in 10 countries. The pipeline comprises predominantly organic follow-on investments along with selected acquisitions in high-margin segments, focusing on synergistic, recurring offerings across renewable energy and hybrid solutions, biofuels, AI data centers, industrial decarbonization including heating and cooling, water scarcity solutions, and resource management. This approach serves to rationalize the fragmented, capital-constrained sustainable energy infrastructure sector to create massive opportunity for ThomasLloyd's scaled, vertically integrated platform to capture meaningful market share with strong revenue visibility and immediate execution capability.

**Transaction Overview**

The Proposed Business Combination, which has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both Roman DBDR and ThomasLloyd, is expected to provide in excess of US$240 million in gross proceeds, from a combination of funds from cash held in Roman DBDR's trust account and an anticipated PIPE raise, before accounting for potential redemptions and transaction expenses. The Proposed Business Combination does not have a minimum cash closing condition and is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by Roman DBDR shareholders and other regulatory approvals.

In addition, the Company has signed a binding term sheet with B. Riley Principal Capital II, LLC for a US$200 million equity line of credit to further support its growth strategy.

The Proposed Business Combination values ThomasLloyd at a pre-money equity value of US$850 million, whereby the transaction value could increase up to US$1.3 billion via a US$450 million share price-based earnout, aligning management incentives for continued Company growth and reinforcing existing shareholders' commitment to the Company. This would imply a pro forma equity value of the new public company of approximately US$1.5 billion including the earnout and assuming US$240 million in gross proceeds from a combination of funds from cash held in Roman DBDR's trust account and an anticipated PIPE raise.

ThomasLloyd's existing management team will continue to lead the combined company following the completion of the Proposed Business Combination. ThomasLloyd's existing shareholders will roll 100% of their equity holdings into the new public company. Additionally, ThomasLloyd's management team, ThomasLloyd's primary equity holders, Roman DBDR sponsor and certain affiliates of Roman DBDR's sponsor have committed to customary post-closing lock-ups and will continue to be aligned with shareholder interests through the previously referenced program of share price-based earnouts.

Additional information about the Proposed Business Combination, including a copy of the business combination agreement, will be provided in a report on Form 8-K to be filed by Roman DBDR with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and available at www.sec.gov.

The Company believes its estimates to be accurate as of the date of this presentation . However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by which the Company obtained some of the data for its estimates or because this information cannot always be verified due to the limits on the availability and reliability of raw data . This presentation also contains estimates made by independent parties relating to industry market size and other data . These estimates involve a number of assumptions and limitations and you are cautioned not to give undue weight on such estimates . Trademarks This Presentation contains references to trademarks and service marks belonging to other entities . Solely for convenience, trademarks and trade names referred to in this Presentation may appear without the® or symbols, but such references are not intended to indicate, in any way, that the applicable licensor will not assert, to the fullest extent under applicable law, its rights to these trademarks and trade names . We do not intend our use or display of other companies' trade names, trademarks or service marks to imply a relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship of us by, any other companies . Financial Information ; Non - IFRS Measures Neither the independent auditor of the SPAC nor the independent auditor of the Company has examined or compiled the financial information and data contained in this Presentation ; accordingly, no such independent auditor provides any assurance with respect to any financial information included herein . Such information and data may not be included in, may be adjusted in, or may be presented differently in, any registration statement, prospectus, proxy statement or other report or document to be filed or furnished by SPAC or the Company, or any other report or document to be filed by the combined company following completion of the Proposed Business Combination, with the SEC . This Presentation includes certain financial measures of the Company not presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") including, but not limited to, EBITDA . Non - IFRS financial measures are not measures of financial performance in accordance with IFRS and may exclude items that are significant in understanding and assessing the Company's financial results . Therefore, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under IFRS . You should be aware that Company's presentation of these measures may not be comparable to similarly - titled measures used by other companies . The Company believes these non - IFRS measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to the Company's financial condition and results of operations . The Company believes that the use of these non - IFRS financial measures provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends in and in comparing the Company's financial measures with other similar companies, many of which present similar non - IFRS financial measures to investors . These non - IFRS financial measures are subject to inherent limitations as they reflect the exercise of judgments by management about which expense and income are excluded or included in determining these non - IFRS financial measures . Please refer to footnotes where presented on each page of this Presentation or to the appendix found at the end of this Presentation, if and when presented, delivered to interested p for a reconciliation of these measures to what the Company believes are the most directly comparable measure evaluated in accordance with IFRS, if applicable . Use of Projections This investor presentation contains unaudited prospective financial information of ThomasLloyd (the "Projections") . ThomasLloyd does not, as a matter of course, publicly disclose projections as to future revenues, earnings, financial condition, cash flows or other operating results . The Projections were prepared by ThomasLloyd's management solely for internal use and for use in connection with discussions with certain potential investors in a potential financing transaction . The Projections were prepared as of a prior date and speak only as of that date . They were based on numerous assumptions and estimates reflecting management's judgment at the time, including, among other things, assumptions regarding market conditions, operating performance, timing and availability of financing (including the assumption that financing of US $30 – 50 million would be raised prior to January 31 , 2026), capital expenditures and other matters . Many of these assumptions are inherently uncertain, are beyond ThomasLloyd's control, and are subject to significant business, economic, competitive and regulatory risks . Since the date the Projections were prepared, material changes in circumstances, market conditions, strategy, financing assumptions and other factors have occurred, and certain assumptions underlying the Projections are no longer accurate . The Projections do not reflect subsequent events, updated information or revised assumptions, and have not been updated or revised to reflect current conditions . Neither Roman nor ThomasLloyd makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, completeness, reasonableness, achievability or reliability of the Projections, and neither Roman nor ThomasLloyd intends to, and expressly disclaims any obligation to, update, revise or reaffirm the Projections to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date they were prepared, except as may be required by applicable law . The Projections are being furnished to investors with this presentation solely because they were previously made available to certain potential investors in connection with prior discussions regarding a potential financing transaction . Investors should not rely on the fact that Roman is including the Projections with this presentation as an indication that Roman or its management, ThomasLloyd or its management, or any other person considers the Projections to be predictive of future events or otherwise indicative of actual future results . Investors should not rely upon the Projections as public guidance, as predictive of future events, or as a basis for any investment decision . Additional Information About the Proposed Business Combination and Where to Find It : The SPAC and the Company will file a registration statement on Form F - 4 (the "Registration Statement") that will include a proxy statement/prospectus of the SPAC . The Registration Statement is not yet effective . The Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, when it is declared effective by the SEC, will contain important information about the Proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be voted upon at a meeting of the SPAC's shareholders to be held to approve the Proposed Business Combination and other matters (the "Special Meeting") . The SPAC may also file other documents with the SEC regarding the Proposed Business Combination . The SPAC shareholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the Registration Statement, including the proxy statement/prospectus contained therein, as well as any amendments or supplements thereto, because they will contain important information about the Proposed Business Combination . When available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus will be mailed to SPAC shareholders as of a record date to be established for voting on the Proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be voted upon at the Special Meeting . Shareholders may also obtain a copy of the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, once available, the definitive proxy statement/prospectus and other documents that will be filed with the SEC regarding the proposed business combination and other documents filed with the SEC by SPAC, without charge, at the SEC's website . 26 Strictly Private & Confidential Important Notices .<br>|

Information regarding the persons who may, under SEC rules, be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies of SPAC's shareholders in connection with the Proposed Business Combination will be set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement. Investors and security holders of SPAC are urged to carefully read the entirety of the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents that will be filed with the SEC when they become available because they will contain important information about the Proposed Business Combination. Factors that may cause actual results of the Company and SPAC to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: Risks Related to the Company's Operations The Company may not successfully implement its growth strategy and the impact of acquisitions, investments and value realization initiatives could be less favorable than anticipated. The Company may fail to successfully identify sustainable investment opportunities, integrate its acquisitions, realize the expected benefits from such acquisitions in a timely manner or at all or acquire actual or potential liabilities. The operation of clean energy and sustainable fuel generation projects is subject to inherent and significant operational risks and occupational hazards. The Company's long-term success is dependent upon its ability to attract and retain key personnel. The Company may not be able to successfully implement its business strategy aimed at the expansion of its operations into other segments and sectors within the energy transition, climate change and carbon reduction industry and related technologies. The Company's strategic focus is on building out a platform of investments in clean energy, sustainable fuel, climate change and carbon reduction and related technologies, across several jurisdictions and therefore its results of operations are subject to legal and political developments and conditions in the countries where the Company's operations will be located. Risks and delays relating to the development of greenfield clean energy and sustainable fuel projects could have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations and financial performance. The Company's clean energy and sustainable fuel projects may be adversely affected by insufficient supply of the required natural resources. Grid curtailments may limit the generation capacity of clean energy projects and dispatch thereof, which may result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. Increased competition in the industries in which the Company operates, including competition resulting from legislative, regulatory and industry restructuring efforts could have a material adverse effect. The operations of the Company are subject to significant government regulation, including obtaining and maintaining the requisite regulatory approvals and licenses, environmental legislation and financial incentives. The regulatory environment in which the Company operates is subject to continuous change, and regulatory developments designed to increase oversight may adversely affect the Company's business or cause the Company to incur significant costs and liabilities. The Company's results of operations could be adversely affected by strikes, work stoppages or increased wage demands or any other kind of disagreements or disputes with the Company's employees. The Company's insurance coverage may not be adequate. As the Company's operations are concentrated in a limited number of sectors, an economic downturn in such sectors may have a significant impact on the Company's performance. Changes, evolutions and advancements in technology may make certain technologies deployed by the Company obsolete, outdated or require significant capital expenditure for the profitable continuation of its operations of the Company. The Company's business is affected by general, economic, market and political conditions. Exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. The Company relies on certain third-party suppliers and service providers for several important functions. The failure to find qualified third party service providers or the failure of these service providers to perform their obligations could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. Suppliers or manufacturers on which the Company relies may not comply with local labor, environmental or ethical laws, regulations or standards. The Company is newly established as a holding company and has limited historical financial statements. Additionally, our historical and adjusted financial information presented in this prospectus may not be representative of results we would have achieved as an enlarged Company or of our future financial results. The Company and its subsidiaries have historically incurred significant losses. The Company's revenues are exposed to fluctuations in spot market pricing and the Company's return from investments are exposed to revenues on fixed tariffs and therefore could be exposed to changes in tariff regulation and structuring. The delay between making significant capital expenditure in the Company's clean energy and sustainable fuel projects and receiving revenue therefrom could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. The Company may not be able to exercise control over the operations of its associates and joint ventures and the failure of one or more of its strategic partnerships may negatively impact its business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. The Company could have inadequate protection for, and be subject to, infringements to its intellectual property rights or could infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties. Cyber security risks and the failure to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Company's computer hardware, software and internet applications and related tools and functions, could result in damage to the Company's reputation and/or data integrity and/or subject it to costs, fines or lawsuits under data protection laws or other contractual requirements. The Company may in the future be a party to claims, lawsuits, governmental investigations, and other legal proceedings or complaints by customers, investors or employees, which may adversely affect its business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. The continued success of the Company's business depends on its reputation and the value of the Thomas Lloyd brand. Any damages caused by misconduct by the Company's employees could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

Adverse weather conditions, catastrophic events, natural disasters and other unpredictable events may adversely affect the Company's projects, assets and employees. The Company may face disruptions or inability to operate its projects due to the outbreak of natural or infectious diseases in the organic materials it deploys or contaminations in the soil or groundwater. The Company has undertaken a reorganization and as a result might face claims of investors. Poor performance by the Company's investment strategies or changes in the distribution profile of certain of the Company's investment products may adversely affect its business, reputation and growth and its ability to raise capital. The Company could be subject to regulatory investigations, which could harm its reputation and cause it to lose existing investors or to lose existing mandates or fail to attract new investors or mandates. If the Company's investment strategies perform poorly, investors could withdraw their assets and the Company could suffer a decline in its revenue and/or become the subject of litigation, either of which would negatively impact the Company. The Company may not be able to maintain its current fee structure as a result of poor investment performance, competitive pressures or changes in the Company's business mix, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. Restrictions on equipment imports, and other factors affecting the price or availability of equipment, may increase the Company's business costs. Changed trends in the global savings market or in the private markets industry may adversely affect the Company. The Company does not own most of the land on which it operates. Climate change could adversely affect the Company's business or prospects. The past performance of the Company's subsidiaries may not be indicative of the Company's future performance. Due to the nature of its business, the Company processes a significant amount of personal data. The Company's potential inability to protect personal data may lead to reputational damage or regulatory scrutiny which could adversely affect the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. Risks Related to Operating as a Public Company Following the Proposed Business Combination There may not be an active trading market for the ordinary shares (the "Ordinary Shares") of the post-closing public company ("TopCo"), which may make it difficult to sell the Ordinary Shares. The market price of the Ordinary Shares may be volatile, and the Company's investors could lose all or part of their investment. If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports, or if they publish adverse or misleading research or reports, regarding the TopCo, our business or our market, our share price and trading volume could decline. Our operating results may fluctuate significantly, which makes our future operating results difficult to predict and could cause our operating results to fall below expectations or our guidance. Our principal shareholders own a significant percentage of our Ordinary Shares and can exert significant control over matters subject to shareholder approval. Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by us or our shareholders in the public market could cause the market price for our securities to decline. Raising additional capital may cause dilution to our existing shareholders, restrict our operations or require us to relinquish rights to our technologies. We will have increased costs as a result of operating as a public company, and our management will devote substantial time to related compliance initiatives. If we experience material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and, as a result, the value of the Ordinary Shares. Our disclosure controls and procedures may not prevent or detect all errors or acts of fraud. SPAC shareholders can redeem some or all of the funds held in trust, and significant redemptions could materially impact our cash position and runway. Incorrect estimates or assumptions by management in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements could adversely affect our reported assets, liabilities or expenses. SPAC is currently an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and if SPAC takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make SPAC's securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare SPAC's performance with other public companies. Risks Related to the Private Placement There can be no assurance that we and SPAC will be able to raise sufficient capital in the private placement to consummate the Proposed Business Combination. Your position in the combined company will be diluted if we issue additional Ordinary Shares. SPAC shareholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of securities as consideration in the Proposed Business Combination and in the private placement.

SPAC and we will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, including transaction payments and expenses due upon the closing of the Proposed Business Combination. SPAC will not have any right after the closing of the Proposed Business Combination to make damages claims against the Company or its shareholders for breaches of representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company in the transaction documents for the Proposed Business Combination. SPAC's sponsor, officers and directors have potential conflicts of interest in recommending that SPAC shareholders vote in favor of the Proposed Business Combination. If the Proposed Business Combination's benefits do not meet the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the market price of SPAC's securities or, following the consummation of the Proposed Business Combination, the combined company's securities, may decline. There can be no assurance that the combined company's securities will be approved for listing on Nasdaq or that the combined company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq. Potential legal proceedings in connection with the Proposed Business Combination, the outcomes of which are uncertain, could delay or prevent the completion of the Proposed Business Combination. The ability of SPAC shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of its shares could increase the probability that the Proposed Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that shareholders would have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their public shares. If SPAC is unable to complete the Proposed Business Combination with us or another business combination by December 16, 2026 (or such later date as may be approved by SPAC's shareholders), SPAC will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding public shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, dissolving and liquidating. In such event, third parties may bring claims against SPAC and, as a result, the proceeds held in its trust account could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by shareholders could be less than $10.00 per public share. There is no guarantee that a shareholder's decision to continue to hold their public shares following the Proposed Business Combination will put the shareholder in a better future economic position than if they decided to redeem their public shares for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in SPAC's trust account, and vice versa. The ability to successfully effect the Proposed Business Combination and the combined company's ability to successfully operate the business thereafter will be largely dependent upon the efforts of certain key personnel of the combined company. The loss of such key personnel could negatively impact the operations and financial results of the combined business. SPAC's sponsor and SPAC's other current officers and directors have interests in the Proposed Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to other SPAC shareholders in recommending that SPAC shareholders vote in favor of approval of the Proposed Business Combination. SPAC's sponsor and SPAC's other directors, executive officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase shares from SPAC public shareholders, which may influence a vote on the Proposed Business Combination and reduce the public "float" of our securities following the Proposed Business Combination. During the pre-closing period, the Company and SPAC are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to the Company, SPAC or their respective shareholders. Securities of companies formed through combinations with special purpose acquisition companies such as SPAC may experience a material decline in price relative to the SPAC share price prior to such combinations. SPAC's sponsor, directors, officers and affiliates may receive a positive return on their investment even if public shareholders experience a negative return on their investment after consummation of the Proposed Business Combination. SPAC's warrants will become exercisable for the Ordinary Shares, which would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to our shareholders. Even if the Proposed Business Combination is consummated, the SPAC's warrants may never be in the money, and they may expire worthless and the terms of the warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants approve of such amendment.
