AMENDMENT TO THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT

in Section 1.01 of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

““Indebtedness” means for any person and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, an amount equal to, without
duplication, (a) indebtedness for borrowed money of such person and its Subsidiaries, including indebtedness evidenced by any note, bond, debenture, mortgage, letter of credit, performance bond or other debt instrument or debt security,
(b) net obligations of such person and its Subsidiaries in respect of interest rate swaps, hedges or similar arrangements, 

 
including any swaps, hedges or similar arrangements related to foreign exchange (other than any such amounts that are accounted for (in accordance with applicable accounting standards) as working
capital current liabilities), (c) obligations of such person and its Subsidiaries under capitalized leases, (d) any deferred purchase price liabilities such person and its Subsidiaries related to past acquisitions, whether or not represented by
a note, earn-out or contingent purchase payment or otherwise (other than any such amounts that are accounted for (in accordance with applicable accounting standards) as working capital current liabilities) but
excluding any such deferred purchase price liabilities of (i) Alvarium (or an Alvarium Subsidiary) in connection with the potential acquisitions set forth on Sections 6.03(b)(A) and 6.03(b)(B) of the Alvarium Disclosure Schedule,
(ii) TWMH, Tiedemann Constantia AG or another TWMH Subsidiary in connection with the potential acquisition set forth on Section 9.01(b)(vi) of the TWMH Disclosure Schedule, or (iii) TIG MGMT in connection with the potential
acquisition set forth on Section 9.02(b)(vi) of the TIG Disclosure Schedule, (e) obligations of such person and its Subsidiaries under or in connection with off balance sheet financing arrangements, and (f) all amounts (including for
the avoidance of doubt, the principal amounts, plus any related accrued and unpaid interest, fees and prepayment premiums or penalties) and obligations of the type referred to in the foregoing clauses of this definition of other persons for the
payment of which such person is responsible or liable, as obligor, guarantor, surety or otherwise, including any guarantee of such obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, Indebtedness shall not include any Indebtedness of any Affiliated Managers,
nor shall Indebtedness include any debt incurred in connection with any of the acquisitions set forth in clauses (d)(i), (ii) or (iii) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of Alvarium (or an Alvarium Subsidiary), Indebtedness shall
not include the liabilities incurred or assumed by Alvarium (or the applicable Alvarium Subsidiary) in connection with the acquisition by Amalfi Bidco Limited of Prestbury Investment Partners Limited dated July 11, 2022, which such liabilities
are not expected to exceed an aggregate amount of GBP 50 million.” 
 2.    Amend and Restate
Section 3.07(a). Section 3.07(a) of the Business Combination Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

“(a)    Alvarium Shareholders Earn-Out Consideration. At
Closing, in addition to the consideration to be received pursuant to Section 3.03(a), SPAC shall issue 2,100,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock of the Alvarium Shareholders
Earn-Out Consideration to the Alvarium Shareholders in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Alvarium Payment Spreadsheet. Following the Closing, in addition to the consideration to be received pursuant to
Section 3.03(a) and the first sentence of this Section 3.07(a), if, at any time during the period following the Closing and expiring on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”), (i) the VWAP of the shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days
(the “First Level Earn-Out Target”), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Business Days following the 

 
achievement of the First Level Earn-Out Target, SPAC shall issue 50% of the excess of the Alvarium Shareholders
Earn-Out Consideration over 2,100,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock to the Alvarium Shareholders in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Alvarium Payment Spreadsheet and (ii) the VWAP of the
shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within a period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days (the “Second Level Earn-Out
Target” and, together with the First Level Earn-Out Target, the “Earn-Out Targets”), then as soon as possible and in any event within ten
(10) Business Days following the achievement of the Second Level Earn-Out Target, SPAC shall issue 50% of the excess of the Alvarium Shareholders Earn-Out
Consideration over 2,100,000 shares of SPAC Class A Common Stock to the Alvarium Shareholders in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Alvarium Payment Spreadsheet. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Alvarium Shareholders Earn-Out Consideration issuable pursuant to this Section 3.07(a) shall be released to any Alvarium Shareholder who is required to file a notification pursuant to the HSR Act or under any
applicable Antitrust Laws until any applicable waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act or applicable Antitrust Laws has expired or been terminated. Prior to the issuance of any Alvarium Shareholders Earn-Out
Consideration, if applicable, Alvarium shall provide notice to SPAC regarding (a) any such Alvarium Shareholder that is required to make a filing pursuant to the HSR Act or applicable Antitrust Laws and (b) the expiration or termination of
the applicable waiting period pursuant to the HSR Act or applicable Antitrust Laws and, as soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) Business Days of such expiration or termination, SPAC shall issue to the applicable Alvarium
Shareholders Earn-Out Consideration to such Alvarium Shareholder in accordance with, and pursuant to, the Alvarium Payment Spreadsheet. In the event that any mandatory consent, clearance, approval or
expiration or termination of any mandatory waiting period under Antitrust Laws is not received or satisfied in respect of an applicable Alvarium Shareholder (who was required to submit an antitrust filing in accordance with this
Section 3.07(a)), Alvarium, SPAC and the Alvarium Shareholder shall use their reasonable best efforts to agree on a structure (or other solution) (such as the implication of “voting cutbacks” or other similar
solutions) so as to mitigate the requirement for such Alvarium Shareholder to make a filing pursuant to the HSR or applicable Antitrust Laws (but which shall not, for the avoidance of doubt, require any such party to divest of any asset or accept
any other conditions of approval or consent of a Governmental Authority other than in their absolute discretion). In lieu of such Parties being able to agree on any such solution, the SPAC shall, subject always to (x) any covenants or
restrictions placed on the SPAC (and its Subsidiaries at such time) by any of the SPAC’s (or its Subsidiaries’) financing agreements, (y) the SPAC having available cash on hand to satisfy such payment, and (z) the sole and
absolute discretion of the SPAC’s board of directors, pay an amount to such Alvarium Shareholder in lieu of the issuance of such Alvarium Shareholder’s portion of the Alvarium Shareholders Earn-Out
Consideration equal to the Alvarium Shareholder’s portion of the Alvarium Shareholders Earn-Out Consideration that such Alvarium Shareholder would otherwise have been entitled;”
