**Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

Certain statements herein and the documents incorporated herein by reference may constitute "forward-looking statements", which statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties.

Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Business Combination. Such statements include expectations, hopes, beliefs, intentions, plans, prospects, financial results of strategies regarding the Company, ReserveOne, Pubco, the Business Combination and statements regarding the anticipated benefits and timing of the completion of the Business Combination, the price and volatility of cryptocurrencies, the growing prominence of cryptocurrencies, the macro and political conditions surrounding cryptocurrencies, plans and use of proceeds, objectives of management for future operations of the Company, ReserveOne and Pubco, expected operating costs of Pubco, the Company, ReserveOne and their respective subsidiaries, the upside potential and opportunity for investors, the Company's plan for value creation and strategic advantages, market site and growth opportunities, regulatory conditions, competitive position and the interest of other corporations in similar business strategies, technological and market trends, future financial condition and performance and expected financial impacts of the Business Combination, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the Business Combination and the level of redemptions of the Company's public shareholders, and ReserveOne's and Pubco's expectations, intentions, strategies, assumptions or beliefs about future events, results at operations or performance or that do not solely relate to historical or current facts. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "potential," "plan," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements are based on assumptions as of the time they are made and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that are difficult to predict with regard to timing, extent, likelihood and degree of occurrence, which could cause actual results to differ materially from anticipated results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and assumptions, include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; (ii) the risk related to ReserveOne's lack of operating history as an early-stage company; (iii) risks related to ReserveOne's anticipated business plan and strategy that ReserveOne expects to implement upon consummation of the Business Combination, including the risk that ReserveOne's business strategy may change significantly in the future, including moving away from its currently intended focus on crypto-related activities; (iv) the failure by the parties to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, including the approval of the Company's shareholders; (v) the failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination; (vi) the limitations on ReserveOne's investments in certain tokens and allocations to yield generation and venture activities under securities laws; (vii) the outcome of any potential legal proceedings that may be instituted against Pubco, ReserveOne, the Company or others following announcement of the Business Combination; (viii) the level of redemptions of the Company's public shareholders which may reduce the public float of, reduce the liquidity of the trading market of, and/or maintain the quotation, listing, or trading of the Company's class A ordinary shares or the Pubco's class A common stock; (iv) the failure of Pubco to obtain or maintain the listing of its securities on any stock exchange on which the Pubco's class A common stock will be listed after closing of the Business Combination; (x) costs related to the Business Combination and as a result of Pubco becoming a public company; (xi) changes in business, market, financial, political and regulatory conditions; (xii) risks relating to ReserveOne's anticipated operations and business, including the highly volatile nature of the price of cryptocurrencies; risks related to increased competition in the industries in which ReserveOne will operate; (xiii) risks relating to significant legal, commercial, regulatory and technical uncertainty regarding cryptocurrencies; risks related to the treatment of cryptocurrency and other digital assets for U.S. and federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax purposes; (xiv) risks that after consummation of the Business Combination, ReserveOne experiences difficulties managing its growth and expanding operations; (xv) challenges in implementing the business plan, due to lack of an operating history, operational challenges, significant competition and regulation; (xvi) being considered to be a "shell company" by any stock exchange or by the SEC; and (xvii) those risk factors discussed in documents of the Company or Pubco filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.

The foregoing list of risk factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section in the Company's final prospectus dated as of July 31, 2024 and filed by the Company with the SEC on August 2, 2024, our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K and the proxy statement/prospectus that will be filed by the Company and Pubco, and other documents filed or to be filed by the Company and Pubco from time to time with the SEC, including Pubco's Form S-4 filed with the SEC on December 5, 2025, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time. These filings do or will identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that neither the Company, ReserveOne or Pubco presently know or currently believe are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and except as otherwise required by applicable law, none of the parties or any of their representatives assumes any obligation and does not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. None of the parties or any of their representatives gives any assurance that any of the Company, ReserveOne or Pubco will achieve its expectations. The inclusion of any statement in this Report does not constitute an admission by ReserveOne, Pubco, the Company or any other person that the events or circumstances described in such statement are material.
