**THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES**

**OF ASSOCIATION**

**OF**

**ALPHATIME ACQUISITION CORP**

27 March 2026

**RESOLVED**, as a special resolution, that:

(i) Article
37.8 of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company as adopted by special resolution passed
on December 28, 2023 **(**the **Existing Memorandum and Articles**) be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

37.8 The
Company has until 4 December 2026 (the **Termination Date**) to consummate a Business Combination, provided however that if the Board
of Directors anticipates that the Company may not be able to consummate a Business Combination by 4 December 2026, the Company may, by
Resolution of Directors, at the request of the Sponsor, extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination up to eight (8)
times, each by an additional one (1) month, for a total of up to eight (8) months from the Termination Date, subject to the Sponsor depositing
additional funds into the Trust Account upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable deadline in accordance with terms as set
out in the Trust Agreement and referred to in the Registration Statement. In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business
Combination by the Termination Date (or eight (8) months after the Termination Date (subject in the latter case to valid extensions having
been made in each case) or such later time as the Members of the Company may approve in accordance with these Articles), the Company
shall:

(a) cease all operations except
 for the purpose of winding up;

(b) as promptly as reasonably
 possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to
 the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not
 previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any (less up to US$100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided
 by the number of the Public Shares then in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members' rights as Members
 (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and

(c) as promptly as reasonably
 possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company's remaining Members and the directors, dissolve
 and liquidate,

subject in each case, to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of Applicable Law. If the Company shall wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, follow the foregoing procedures set out in this Article with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account, subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of Applicable Law.

(ii) Article 37.9 of the Existing
 Memorandum and Articles be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

37.9 In the event that any amendment
 is made to these Articles:

(a) that would modify the substance
 or timing of the Company's obligation to provide holders of Public Shares the right to:

(i) have their shares redeemed
 or repurchased in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to Articles 37.2(b) or 37.6; or

(ii) redeem 100% of the Public
 Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination by the Termination Date (or eight (8) months after the
 Termination Date pursuant to Article 37.8 (subject in the latter case to valid extensions having been made in each case); or

(b) with respect to any other
 provision relating to the rights of holders of Public Shares,

each holder of Public Shares who is not a Founder, Officer or director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval of any such amendment (an Amendment Redemption) at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any, divided by the number of Public Shares then in issue.

(iii) Article 37.11 of the Existing
 Memorandum and Articles be deleted in its entirety and replaced as follows:

37.11 After
the issue of Public Shares (including pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option), and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination,
the directors shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:

(a) receive funds from the
 Trust Account; or

(b) vote as a class with the
 Public Shares:

(i) on a Business Combination
 or on any other proposal presented to Members prior to or in connection with the completion of a Business Combination; or

(ii) to approve an amendment
 to these Articles to:

(A) extend the time the Company
 has to consummate a Business Combination beyond the Termination Date or eight (8) months after the Termination Date pursuant to Article
 37.8 (subject in the latter case to valid extensions having been made in each case); or

(B) amend the foregoing provisions
 of these Articles,

unless (in connection with any such amendment), each holder of Public Shares who is not a Founder, Officer or director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in accordance with these Articles.
