date.

Company may designate. 
 Section 2.7. (a) Any series of the Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time
prior to the applicable Par Call Date (as defined herein) (or, in the case of the 2024 Notes and the 2025 Notes, at any time prior to the 2024 Stated Maturity and the 2025 Stated Maturity, respectively) at the Company’s option (the date of such
redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”), at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: (i) (A) the sum of the present values of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming, in the case of the 2027 Notes, the 2029 Notes, the 2032 Notes, the 2052 Notes, and the 2062 Notes, such Notes matured on the
applicable Par Call Date) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined herein) plus 5.0 basis
points in the case of the 2024 Notes, plus 5.0 basis points in the case of the 2025 Notes, plus 10.0 basis points in the case of the 2027 Notes, plus 12.5 basis points in the case of the 2029 Notes, plus 15.0 basis points in the case of the 2032

  
 4 

 
Notes, plus 20.0 basis points in the case of the 2052 Notes, and plus 20.0 basis points in the case of the 2062 Notes, less (B) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the applicable
Make-Whole Redemption Date, and (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes of the applicable series to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date. 

(b) On or after the applicable Par Call Date, the Company may redeem the 2027 Notes, the 2029 Notes, the 2032 Notes, the 2052
Notes, and the 2062 Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption (such date,
and any Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”). The Company shall be responsible for calculating the applicable redemption price. 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling
on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant record date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

(d) If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on the series of Notes (or portions thereof) to be
redeemed on the Redemption Date is deposited with the Trustee or Paying Agent on or before the Redemption Date, then on and after the Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (or such portion thereof) called for redemption and
such Notes will cease to be outstanding. If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Company will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any interest or other payment due to the delay. 

(e) If fewer than all of the Notes of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes of such series to be
redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities, the redemption of the Notes shall be in accordance with the
Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that
relates to such Note will state the portion of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. A new note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Note will be issued in the name of the holder of the Note upon surrender for
cancellation of the original Note. 
 (f) Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed in accordance
with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which
the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price, calculated as
set forth in this Supplemental Indenture, shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company 

  
 5 

 
delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall
become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price. 
 (g) Notice of any redemption of the
Notes of a series in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or
more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction or event. At the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be
satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Company shall provide
written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date if any such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes
subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 
 (h) “Par Call
Date” means, in the case of the 2027 Notes, March 13, 2027 (the date that is one month prior to the 2027 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2029 Notes, February 13, 2029 (the date that is two months prior to the 2029 Stated
Maturity), in the case of the 2032 Notes, January 13, 2032 (the date that is three months prior to the 2032 Stated Maturity), in the case of the 2052 Notes, October 13, 2051 (the date that is six months prior to the 2052 Stated Maturity),
and in the case of the 2062 Notes, October 13, 2061 (the date that is six months prior to the 2062 Stated Maturity). 

(i) “Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any Make-Whole Redemption Date, the yield determined by the Company in
accordance with the following two paragraphs. 
 The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Company after 4:15 p.m., New York City time (or
after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third Business Day preceding the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date based upon the yield or yields for the
most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor
designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities–Treasury constant maturities–Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Company shall
select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date to the applicable Par Call Date (or, in the case of the 2024 Notes and the 2025 Notes, at
any time prior to the 2024 Stated Maturity and the 2025 Stated Maturity, respectively) (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two
yields – one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield 

  
 6 

 
corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life – and shall interpolate to the applicable Par Call Date (or, in the case of the 2024 Notes
and the 2025 Notes, to the 2024 Stated Maturity and the 2025 Stated Maturity, respectively) on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such
Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity
or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date. 

If on the third Business Day preceding the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Date H.15 or any successor designation or publication is no longer
published, the Company shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day preceding such Make-Whole Redemption Date of the
United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the applicable Par Call Date or Stated Maturity, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or Stated
Maturity but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the applicable Par Call Date or Stated Maturity, one with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date or Stated Maturity and
one with a maturity date following the applicable Par Call Date or Stated Maturity, the Company shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the applicable Par Call Date or Stated Maturity. If there are two or more
United States Treasury securities maturing on the applicable Par Call Date or Stated Maturity or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Company shall select from among these two or more
United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the
Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal
amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places. 

(j) The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Section 2.8. The Notes shall be issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and in integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 Section 2.9. The Notes shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Securities. 

Section 2.10. The Depositary shall be The Depository Trust Company. 

  
 7 

 Section 2.11. The amount of payments of principal or interest shall not be determined
with reference to an index, formula, or other similar method. 
 Section 2.12. The provisions of Section 8.1 of the Base Indenture
shall apply to the Notes. 
 Section 2.13. The Notes shall be Unrestricted Securities and shall be registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. 

Section 2.14. The principal of and interest on the Notes shall be payable only in Dollars. 

Section 2.15. The Notes shall not be convertible into common stock of the Company. 

Section 2.16. The terms of the 2024 Notes, the 2025 Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2029 Notes, the 2032 Notes, the 2052 Notes, and the 2062
Notes shall include such other terms as set forth in the form of 2024 Note, form of 2025 Note, form of 2027 Note, form of 2029 Note, form of 2032 Note, form of 2052 Note, and form of 2062 Note, respectively, attached hereto as Exhibits A,

 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

AMAZON.COM, INC. 
 2.730% Notes due
2024 
  

	1.	 Interest. 

Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per
annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from April 13, 2022. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant
Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on October 13, 2022.
If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the
date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same
rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment. 

 

	2.	 Paying Agent. 

  

	

 Initially, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the
“Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders. 
  

	3.	 Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 2.730% Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of
November 29, 2012 by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 establishing
the terms of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture, together with this Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a
“Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 
 For purposes of this Note, unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of
Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 

 

	4.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. Where the Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor 

  
 - 5 - 

 
the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the
delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as
a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 
  

	5.	 Amendment; Modification; Waiver. 

The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of
Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes. 

Any amendment, supplement or waiver to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to
the Notes only, and not any other series of Securities. 
  

	6.	 Optional Redemption. 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to maturity (the date of such
redemption, the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to
the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture)
plus 5.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the Redemption Date; or 
 (ii) 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, 
 plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates falling on
or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any
interest or other payment due to the delay. 
 On or after any Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the
redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise
required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part. 
 The
Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

  
 - 6 - 

 Notice of any redemption shall be electronically delivered or mailed in
accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption price (if known) or the formula pursuant
to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be given, the actual redemption price shall be
set forth in an Officers’ Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been given as provided in the
Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price. 

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction
or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such
conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date if any
such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 

 

	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or
(f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default
referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder. 
 The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes. 

 

	8.	 Authentication. 

This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on this Note. 

 

	9.	 Abbreviations and Defined Terms. 

Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Note or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common),
TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused

Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per
annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from April 13, 2022. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant
Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on October 13, 2022.
If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the
date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same
rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment. 

 

	2.	 Paying Agent. 

Initially, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The
Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders.

November 29, 2012 by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 establishing the
terms of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture, together with this Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a
“Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 
 For purposes of this Note, unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of
Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern.

transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor 

  
 - 5 - 

 
the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the
delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as
a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes. 

Any amendment, supplement or waiver to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to
the Notes only, and not any other series of Securities. 
  

	6.	 Optional Redemption. 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to March 13, 2027 (the date of
such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to
the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on March 13, 2027) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at
the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) plus 10.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the Make-Whole Redemption Date; or 

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed,

redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (such date, and any Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates
falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any
interest or other payment due to the delay. 
 On or after any Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the
redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise
required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part.

price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be
given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price. 

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction
or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such
conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date if any
such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 

 

	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or
(f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default
referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder.

amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

AMAZON.COM, INC. 
 3.600% Notes due
2032 
  

	1.	 Interest. 

Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per
annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from April 13, 2022. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant
Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on October 13, 2022.
If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the
date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same
rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment. 

 

	2.	 Paying Agent. 

Initially, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The
Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders. 
  

	3.	 Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 3.600% Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of
November 29, 2012 by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 establishing the
terms of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture, together with this Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a
“Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 
 For purposes of this Note, unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of
Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 

 

	4.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. Where the Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor 

  
 - 5 - 

 
the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the
delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as
a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 
  

	5.	 Amendment; Modification; Waiver. 

The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of
Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes. 

Any amendment, supplement or waiver to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to
the Notes only, and not any other series of Securities. 
  

	6.	 Optional Redemption. 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to January 13, 2032 (the date of
such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to
the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on January 13, 2032) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) plus 15.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the Make-Whole Redemption Date; or 

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Make-Whole Redemption Date. 

On or after January 13, 2032, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (such date, and any Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates
falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any
interest or other payment due to the delay. 
 On or after any Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the
redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise
required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part. 

  
 - 6 - 

 The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption
price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be
electronically delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption
price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be
given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price. 

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction
or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such
conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date if any
such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 

 

	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or
(f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default
referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder. 
 The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates
falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any
interest or other payment due to the delay. 
 On or after any Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the
redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise
required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part.

price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be
electronically delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption
price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be
given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price. 

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction
or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such
conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date if any
such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given. 

 

	7.	 Defaults and Remedies. 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Section 6.1(e) or
(f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default
referred to in Section 6.1(e) or (f) of the Base Indenture occurs, the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Series of Securities will become immediately due and payable without any action on the part of the Trustee or
any Holder. 
 The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations therein provided, Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the outstanding Notes to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes.

 (REVERSE OF NOTE) 

AMAZON.COM, INC. 
 4.100% Notes due
2062 
  

	1.	 Interest. 

Amazon.com, Inc. (the “Issuer”) promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate per
annum described above. Cash interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid; or, if no interest has been paid, from April 13, 2022. Interest on this Note will be paid to but excluding the relevant
Interest Payment Date or on such earlier date as the principal amount shall become due in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Issuer will pay interest semiannually in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, beginning on October 13, 2022.
If any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date with respect to the Notes is not a Business Day, the required payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest will be due on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the
date that such payment was due, and no interest will accrue on that payment for the period from and after that Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or other payment date, as the case may be, to the date of that payment on the next succeeding
Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. 

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue principal from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes and at the same
rate on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to the extent lawful from the dates such amounts are due until such amounts are paid or made available for payment. 

 

	2.	 Paying Agent. 

Initially, Computershare Trust Company, National Association (the “Trustee”) will act as Paying Agent. The
Issuer may change any Paying Agent without notice to the Holders. 
  

	3.	 Indenture; Defined Terms. 

This Note is one of the 4.100% Notes due 2062 (the “Notes”) issued under the Indenture dated as of
November 29, 2012 by and between the Issuer and the Trustee, as successor trustee (the “Base Indenture”), as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture No. 1 dated as of April 13, 2022 establishing the
terms of the Notes pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Base Indenture (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, the Base Indenture, together with this Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”). This Note is a
“Security” and the Notes are “Securities” under the Indenture. 
 For purposes of this Note, unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms herein are used as defined in the Indenture. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended
(15 U.S.C. §§77aaa-77bbbb) (the “TIA”), as in effect on the date on which the Indenture was qualified under the TIA. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders of
Notes are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of them. To the extent the terms of the Indenture and this Note are inconsistent, the terms of the Indenture shall govern. 

 

	4.	 Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. 

The Notes are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess
thereof. Where the Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Notes, the Registrar shall register the
transfer or make the exchange if the requirements for such transactions set forth in the Indenture are met. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
as permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Issuer nor 

  
 - 5 - 

 
the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange the Notes for the period beginning at the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the
delivery of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such delivery, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange the Notes selected, called or being called for redemption as
a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or being called for redemption in part. 
  

	5.	 Amendment; Modification; Waiver. 

The Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented, and waivers may be obtained in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. 
 The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes may waive any existing or past Default or Event of
Default with respect to the Notes. Those Holders may not, however, waive any Default or Event of Default in any payment on the Notes. 

Any amendment, supplement or waiver to the Notes made with the consent of Holders of the Notes, shall be made with respect to
the Notes only, and not any other series of Securities. 
  

	6.	 Optional Redemption. 

The Issuer may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time prior to October 13, 2061 (the date of
such redemption, the “Make-Whole Redemption Date”) at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of: 

(i) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to
the Make-Whole Redemption Date (assuming the Notes matured on October 13, 2061) on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months)
at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Supplemental Indenture) plus 20.0 basis points, less (b) interest accrued and unpaid thereon to the Make-Whole Redemption Date; or 

(ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, 

plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Make-Whole Redemption Date. 

On or after October 13, 2061, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding, the date of redemption (such date, and any Make-Whole Redemption Date, a “Redemption Date”).

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, installments of interest on Notes that are due and payable on Interest Payment Dates
falling on or prior to a Redemption Date will be payable on the Interest Payment Date to the registered Holders as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date according to the Notes and the Indenture. 

If any Redemption Date is not a Business Day, the Issuer will pay the redemption price on the next Business Day without any
interest or other payment due to the delay. 
 On or after any Redemption Date, unless the Issuer defaults in payment of the
redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption. On or before any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the Paying Agent money in immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
redemption price of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. If fewer than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed pro rata by lot or by such other method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion deems appropriate and fair. For so long as the Notes are held in the form of Global Securities the redemption of the Notes shall be in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable procedures unless otherwise
required by law or applicable stock exchange. Notes of $2,000 principal amount or less will not be redeemed in part. 

  
 - 6 - 

 The Company’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption
price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
 Notice of any redemption shall be
electronically delivered or mailed in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Base Indenture at least 10 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of the Notes to be redeemed. Such notice shall state the redemption
price (if known) or the formula pursuant to which the redemption price is to be determined if the redemption price cannot be determined at the time the notice is given. If the redemption price cannot be determined at the time such notice is to be
given, the actual redemption price shall be set forth in an Officers’ Certificate (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) of the Issuer delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date. Notice of
redemption having been given as provided in the Indenture, the Notes called for redemption shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the applicable redemption price. 

Notice of any redemption of the Notes in connection with a transaction or an event may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be
given prior to the completion or the occurrence thereof. Any redemption or notice may, at the Issuer’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion or occurrence of a related transaction
or event. At the Issuer’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such
conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Redemption Date, or by the Redemption Date as so delayed. The Issuer shall provide written notice to the Trustee prior to the close of business two Business Days prior to the Redemption Date if any
such redemption has been rescinded or delayed, and upon receipt the Trustee shall provide such notice to each Holder of the Notes subject to such redemption notice in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given.

(f) of the Base Indenture), the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Notes may require the Issuer to pay immediately the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities. If an Event of Default

any Holder.

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT’S SECURITIES
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
We are a Cayman Islands exempted company and our affairs are governed by our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, the Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we are authorized to issue 479,000,000 Class A ordinary shares and 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, as well as 1,000,000 preference shares, $0.0001 par value each. The following description summarizes certain terms of our shares as set out more particularly in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association. Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.
Units
Each unit has an offering price of  $10.00 and consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of  $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of the company’s Class A ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.
The Class A ordinary shares and warrants comprising the units began separate trading. Holders have the option to continue to hold units or separate their units into the component securities. Holders will need to have their brokers contact our transfer agent in order to separate the units into Class A ordinary shares and warrants. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least five units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant.
Additionally, the units will automatically separate into their component parts and will not be traded after completion of our initial business combination.
Ordinary Shares
Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Except as described below, holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders except as required by law. Unless specified in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of our ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by our shareholders. Approval of certain actions will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least two- thirds of our ordinary shares that are voted, and pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; such actions include amending our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and approving a statutory merger or consolidation with another company. Our board of directors is divided into three classes, each of which will generally serve for terms of three years with only one class of directors being appointed in each year. There is no cumulative voting with respect to the appointment of directors, with the result that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voted for the appointment of directors can appoint all of the directors. Our shareholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.
Prior to our initial business combination, only holders of our founder shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors. Holders of our public shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason. The provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to our initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two- thirds of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares.
​

Because our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize the issuance of up to 479,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, if we were to enter into a business combination, we may (depending on the terms of such a business combination) be required to increase the number of Class A ordinary shares which we are authorized to issue at the same time as our shareholders vote on the business combination to the extent we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination.
Our board of directors is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being appointed in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting) serving a three-year term. In accordance with NYSE corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual general meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on NYSE. As an exempted company, there is no requirement under the Companies Act for us to hold annual or extraordinary general meetings to appoint directors. We may not hold an annual or extraordinary general meeting to appoint new directors prior to the consummation of our initial business combination. Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of our founder shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.
We will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the trust account is initially anticipated to be $10.10 per public share. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to the underwriters. The redemption rights may include the requirement that a beneficial owner must identify itself in order to valid redeem its shares. Our sponsor and our founding team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity. Unlike many blank check companies that hold shareholder votes and conduct proxy solicitations in conjunction with their initial business combinations and provide for related redemptions of public shares for cash upon completion of such initial business combinations even when a vote is not required by law, if a shareholder vote is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rule and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, we will, pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the SEC, and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association require these tender offer documents to contain substantially the same financial and other information about the initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under the SEC’s proxy rules. If, however, a shareholder approval of the transaction is required by applicable law or stock exchange rule, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, we will, like many blank check companies, offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we receive approval pursuant to an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company. However, the participation of our sponsor, officers, directors, advisors or their affiliates in privately- negotiated transactions, if any, could result in the approval of our initial business combination even if a majority of our public shareholders vote, or indicate their intention to vote, against such initial business combination unless restricted by applicable NYSE rules. For purposes of seeking approval of the majority of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association require that at least five days’ notice will be given of any general meeting.
​

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to Excess Shares, without our prior consent. However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination. Our shareholders’ inability to redeem the Excess Shares will reduce their influence over our ability to complete our initial business combination, and such shareholders could suffer a material loss in their investment if they sell such Excess Shares on the open market.
Additionally, such shareholders will not receive redemption distributions with respect to the Excess Shares if we complete our initial business combination. And, as a result, such shareholders will continue to hold that number of shares exceeding 15% and, in order to dispose such shares would be required to sell their shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.
If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if we receive approval pursuant to an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company. In such case, our sponsor and each member of our founding team have agreed to vote their founder shares and public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to our initial shareholders’ founder shares, we would need 37.5% of the public shares sold in our initial public offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved. The other members of our founding team are subject to the same arrangements with respect to any public shares acquired by them in or after our initial public offering. Additionally, each public shareholder may appoint to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all.
Pursuant to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, if we do not consummate an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case of clause (ii) and (iii), to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. Our sponsor and each member of our founding team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering).
In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the company after a business combination, our shareholders are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining available for distribution to them after payment of liabilities and after provision is made for each class of shares, if any, having preference over the ordinary shares. Our shareholders have no preemptive or other subscription rights. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the ordinary shares, except that we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares for cash at a per share price 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to certain limitations.
Founder Shares
​

The founder shares are designated as Class B ordinary shares and, except as described below, are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the units, and holders of founder shares have the same shareholder rights as public shareholders, except that:
➤ prior to our initial business combination, only holders of our founder shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors;
➤ the founder shares are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below;
➤ our sponsor and our founding team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and public shares they hold, (ii) to waive their redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity and (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any founder shares or private placement warrants they hold if we fail to consummate an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering (although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the trust account with respect to any public shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering);
➤ the founder shares will automatically convert into our Class A ordinary shares at the time of our initial business combination as described below adjacent to the caption “Founder shares conversion and antidilution rights” and in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association; and
➤ the founder shares are entitled to registration rights.
If we submit our initial business combination to our public shareholders for a vote, our sponsor and our founding team have agreed to vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination. If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a general meeting are voted in favor of the business combination. In such case, our sponsor and each member of our founding team have agreed to vote their founder shares and any public shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in favor of our initial business combination. As a result, in addition to our initial shareholders’ founder shares, we would need 37.5% of the public shares sold in our initial public offering to be voted in favor of an initial business combination in order to have our initial business combination approved.
The founder shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the consummation of our initial business combination at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of   (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding upon completion of our initial offering, plus (ii) the sum of the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial business combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial business combination, any forward purchase securities, and any private placement warrants issued upon conversion of working capital loans. In no event will the Class B ordinary shares convert into Class A ordinary shares at a rate of less than one to one.
Except as described herein, our sponsor and our founding team have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their founder shares until the earliest of  (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and
​

(B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub- divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property and (ii) any of their private placement warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our sponsor and our founding team with respect to any founder shares, private placement warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof. We refer to such transfer restrictions as the lock-up. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, the founder shares will be released from the lock-up.
Prior to the completion of our initial business combination, only holders of our founder shares will have the right to vote on the appointment of directors. Holders of our public shares will not be entitled to vote on the appointment of directors during such time. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason. These provisions of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds of our issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares. With respect to any other matter submitted to a vote of our shareholders, including any vote in connection with our initial business combination, except as required by law, holders of our founder shares and holders of our public shares will vote together as a single class, with each share entitling the holder to one vote.
Register of Members
Under the Companies Act, we must keep a register of members and there should be entered therein:
➤ the names and addresses of the members of the company, a statement of the shares held by each member, which:
➤ distinguishes each share by its number (so long as the share has a number);
➤ confirms the amount paid, or agreed to be considered as paid, on the shares of each member; confirms the number and category of shares held by each member; and
➤ confirms whether each relevant category of shares held by a member carries voting rights under the Articles, and if so, whether such voting rights are conditional;
➤ the date on which the name of any person was entered on the register as a member; and
➤ the date on which any person ceased to be a member.
For these purposes, “voting rights” means rights conferred on shareholders, including the right to appoint or remove directors, in respect of their shares to vote at general meetings of the company on all or substantially all matters. A voting right is conditional where the voting right arises only in certain circumstances.
Under Cayman Islands law, the register of members of our company is prima facie evidence of the matters set out therein (i.e. the register of members will raise a presumption of fact on the matters referred to above unless rebutted) and a member registered in the register of members will be deemed as a matter of Cayman Islands law to have legal title to the shares as set against its name in the register of members. Upon the closing of our initial public offering, the register of members will be immediately updated to reflect the issue of shares by us. Once our register of members has been updated, the shareholders recorded in the register of members will be deemed to have legal title to the shares set against their name. However, there are certain limited circumstances where an application may be made to a Cayman Islands court for a determination on whether the register of members reflects the correct legal position.
​

Further, the Cayman Islands court has the power to order that the register of members maintained by a company should be rectified where it considers that the register of members does not reflect the correct legal position. If an application for an order for rectification of the register of members were made in respect of our ordinary shares, then the validity of such shares may be subject to re-examination by a Cayman Islands court.
Preference Shares
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association authorize 1,000,000 preference shares and provide that preference shares may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Our board of directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. Our board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti- takeover effects. The ability of our board of directors to issue preference shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of our founding team. We have no preference shares issued and outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any preference shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future. No preference shares are being issued or registered in our initial public offering.
Warrants
Public Shareholders’ Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants
Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, provided that we have an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or we permit holders to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis under the circumstances specified in the warrant agreement) and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A ordinary shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least five units, you will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.
We will not be obligated to deliver any Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration, or a valid exemption from registration is available. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a Class A ordinary share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A ordinary share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit. We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 20 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of our initial business combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant
​

agreement; provided that if our Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so appoint, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the closing of the initial business combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but we will use our best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.
In addition, if  (x) we issue additional Class A ordinary shares or equity linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per Class A ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares or forward purchase securities held by our initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance including any transfer or reissuance of such shares (the “Newly Issued Price”)), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 60% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume-weighted average trading price of our Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which we consummate our initial business combination is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices adjacent to “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.” and “Redemption of warrants for Class A ordinary shares when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively.
Redemptions of warrants for cash when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may call the warrants for redemption (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants):
➤ in whole and not in part;
➤ at a price of  $0.01 per warrant;
➤ upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and
➤ if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given to the warrant holders (the “Reference Value”).
We will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. As a result, we may redeem the warrants as set forth above even if the holders are otherwise unable to exercise the warrants.
We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its
​

warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A ordinary shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued.
Redemption of warrants for cash when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $10.00.
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants:
➤ in whole and not in part;
➤ at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that during such 30 day period holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares (as defined below) except as otherwise described below; provided, further, that if the warrants are not exercised on a cashless basis or otherwise during such 30 day period, we shall redeem such warrants for $0.10 per share;
➤ if, and only if, the Reference Value (as defined above under “Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00”) equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and
➤ if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like), the private placement warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.
The numbers in the table below represent the number of Class A ordinary shares that a warrant holder will receive upon exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined based on volume-weighted average price of our Class A ordinary shares as reported during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. We will provide our warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period described above ends.
Pursuant to the warrant agreement, references above to Class A ordinary shares shall include a security other than Class A ordinary shares into which the Class A ordinary shares have been converted or exchanged for in the event we are not the surviving company in our initial business combination. The numbers in the table below will not be adjusted when determining the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants if we are not the surviving entity following our initial business combination.
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant or the exercise price of the warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “—Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the exercise price of the warrant after such adjustment and the denominator of which is the price of the warrant immediately prior to such adjustment. In such an event, the number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted by multiplying such share amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares deliverable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. The number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant. If the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted, (a) in the case of
​

an adjustment pursuant to the fifth paragraph under the heading “—Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price as set forth under the heading “—Anti-dilution Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00. and (b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph under the heading “—Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price less the decrease in the exercise price of a warrant pursuant to such exercise price adjustment.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume-
​

weighted average price of our Class A ordinary shares as reported during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 Class A ordinary shares for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume-weighted average price of our Class A ordinary shares as reported during the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 Class A ordinary shares for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A ordinary shares per warrant (subject to adjustment).
This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the Class A ordinary shares are trading at or above $10.00 per share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our Class A ordinary shares is below the exercise price of the warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “—Redemption of warrants for cash when the price per Class A ordinary share equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. We will be required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders.
As stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the Class A ordinary shares are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of  $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the warrants when the Class A ordinary shares are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer Class A ordinary shares than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants for Class A ordinary shares if and when such Class A ordinary shares were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of  $11.50.
No fractional Class A ordinary shares will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the holder. If, at the time of redemption, the warrants are exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary shares pursuant to the warrant agreement (for instance, if we are not the surviving company in our initial business combination), the warrants may be exercised for such security. At such time as the warrants become exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary shares, the Company (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.
Redemption Procedures. A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.
Anti-dilution Adjustments. If the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in Class A ordinary shares, or by a sub-divisions of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, sub- divisions or similar event, the number of
​

Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding ordinary shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of ordinary shares entitling holders to purchase Class A ordinary shares at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the product of   (i) the number of Class A ordinary shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares) and (ii) one minus the quotient of  (x) the price per Class A ordinary share paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A ordinary shares, in determining the price payable for Class A ordinary shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical fair market value” means the volume-weighted average price of Class A ordinary shares as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A ordinary shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.
In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all the holders of Class A ordinary shares on account of such Class A ordinary shares (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Class A ordinary shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, (b) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with a proposed initial business combination, (d) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity, or (e) in connection with the redemption of our public shares upon our failure to complete our initial business combination, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each Class A ordinary share in respect of such event.
If the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of Class A ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division, reclassification or similar event, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding Class A ordinary shares.
Whenever the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of Class A ordinary shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of Class A ordinary shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.
In addition, if  (x) we issue additional shares of Class A ordinary shares or equity linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of our initial business combination (excluding any forward purchase securities) at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per share of Class A ordinary shares (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by our board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to our initial shareholders or their affiliates, without taking into account any founder shares or forward purchase securities held by our initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance including
​

any transfer or reissuance of such shares (the “Newly Issued Price”)), (y) the aggregate gross proceeds from such issuances represent more than 50% of the total equity proceeds, and interest thereon, available for the funding of our initial business combination on the date of the consummation of our initial business combination (net of redemptions), and (z) the volume weighted average trading price of our shares of Class A ordinary shares during the 20 trading day period starting on the trading day after the day on which we consummate our initial business combination is below $9.20 per share, the exercise price of the warrants will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 115% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 and $18.00 per share redemption trigger prices described adjacent to “Redemption of Public Shareholders’ Warrants When the Price Per Share of Class A Ordinary Shares Equals or Exceeds $18.00” and “Redemption of Public Shareholders’ Warrants When the Price Per Share of Class A Ordinary Shares Equals or Exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 100% and 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, respectively. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Class A ordinary shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of Class A ordinary shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the company in connection with redemption rights held by shareholders of the company as provided for in the company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as a result of the redemption of Class A ordinary shares by the company if a proposed initial business combination is presented to the shareholders of the company for approval) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a shareholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Class A ordinary shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A ordinary shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A ordinary shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.
​

The warrants will be issued in registered form under a warrant agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or correct any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding public warrants and forward purchase warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the holders of public warrants or forward purchase warrants. You should review a copy of the warrant agreement for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.
The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of ordinary shares and any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive Class A ordinary shares. After the issuance of Class A ordinary shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.
No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. If, upon exercise of the warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of Class A ordinary shares to be issued to the warrant holder. We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.
Private Placement Warrants
Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants being sold as part of the units. The private placement warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the private placement warrants) and they will not be redeemable by us (except in certain circumstances). The holders of the private placement warrants will have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants will require a vote of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants.
If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “historical fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the historical fair market value. The “historical fair market value” will mean the average reported closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the holders of warrants. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis is because it is not known at this time whether the holder thereof will be affiliated with us following a business combination. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We expect to have policies in place that restrict insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public shareholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the Class A ordinary shares received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the warrantholders who are insiders could be significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.
In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants
​

of the post-business combination company at a price of   $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants.
Forward purchase securities
Our sponsor has committed to enter into a forward purchase agreement with us that will provide for the purchase by our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, in the aggregate, of 5,000,000 forward purchase securities, for an aggregate purchase price of  $50,000,000, with each forward purchase security consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-third of one redeemable warrant, in each case, for $10.00 per forward purchase security, in a private placement to close substantially concurrently with the closing of our initial business combination. The obligations under the forward purchase agreement will not depend on whether any Class A ordinary shares are redeemed by our public shareholders. The forward purchase securities sold pursuant to the forward purchase agreement will be identical to the Class A ordinary shares and redeemable warrants included in the units being sold in our initial public offering, respectively, except that our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor, as applicable, will have certain registration rights, as described herein. The capital from such private placement would be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in our initial business combination, and any excess capital from such private placement would be used for working capital in the post-transaction company.
Dividends
We have not paid any cash dividends on our ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of our initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon our revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of our initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to our initial business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time, and we will only pay such dividend out of our profits or share premium (subject to solvency requirements) as permitted under Cayman Islands law. Further, if we incur any indebtedness in connection with a business combination, our ability to declare dividends may be limited by restrictive covenants we may agree to in connection therewith.
Our Transfer Agent and Warrant Agent
The transfer agent for our ordinary shares and warrant agent for our warrants is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. We have agreed to indemnify Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company in its roles as transfer agent and warrant agent, its agents and each of its shareholders, directors, officers and employees against all claims and losses that may arise out of acts performed or omitted for its activities in that capacity, except for any claims and losses due to any gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnified person or entity.
Certain Differences in Corporate Law
Cayman Islands companies are governed by the Companies Act. The Companies Act is modeled on English Law but does not follow recent English Law statutory enactments, and differs from laws applicable to United States corporations and their shareholders. Set forth below is a summary of the material differences between the provisions of the Companies Act applicable to us and the laws applicable to companies incorporated in the United States and their shareholders.
Mergers and Similar Arrangements. In certain circumstances, the Companies Act allows for mergers or consolidations between two Cayman Islands companies, or between a Cayman Islands exempted company and a company incorporated in another jurisdiction (provided that is facilitated by the laws of that other jurisdiction) so as to form a single surviving company.
Where the merger or consolidation is between two Cayman Islands companies, the directors of each company must approve and enter into a written plan of merger or consolidation containing certain prescribed information. That plan or merger or consolidation must then be authorized by either (a) a special resolution (usually a majority of two-thirds in value of the voting shares voted at a general meeting) of the shareholders of each company; or (b) such other authorization, if any, as may be specified in such constituent company’s articles of association. No shareholder
​

resolution is required for a merger between a parent company (i.e., a company that owns at least 90% of the issued shares of each class in a subsidiary company) and its subsidiary company. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company must be obtained, unless the court waives such requirement. If the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is satisfied that the requirements of the Companies Act (which includes certain other formalities) have been complied with, the Registrar of Companies will register the plan of merger or consolidation.
Where the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company, the procedure is similar, save that with respect to the foreign company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the merger or consolidation is permitted or not prohibited by the constitutional documents of the foreign company and by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the foreign company is incorporated, and that those laws and any requirements of those constitutional documents have been or will be complied with; (ii) that no petition or other similar proceeding has been filed and remains outstanding or order made or resolution adopted to wind up or liquidate the foreign company in any jurisdictions; (iii) that no receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar person has been appointed in any jurisdiction and is acting in respect of the foreign company, its affairs or its property or any part thereof; and (iv) that no scheme, order, compromise or other similar arrangement has been entered into or made in any jurisdiction whereby the rights of creditors of the foreign company are and continue to be suspended or restricted.
Where the surviving company is the Cayman Islands exempted company, the directors of the Cayman Islands exempted company are further required to make a declaration to the effect that, having made due enquiry, they are of the opinion that the requirements set out below have been met: (i) that the foreign company is able to pay its debts as they fall due and that the merger or consolidated is bona fide and not intended to defraud unsecured creditors of the foreign company; (ii) that in respect of the transfer of any security interest granted by the foreign company to the surviving or consolidated company (a) consent or approval to the transfer has been obtained, released or waived; (b) the transfer is permitted by and has been approved in accordance with the constitutional documents of the foreign company; and (c) the laws of the jurisdiction of the foreign company with respect to the transfer have been or will be complied with; (iii) that the foreign company will, upon the merger or consolidation becoming effective, cease to be incorporated, registered or exist under the laws of the relevant foreign jurisdiction; and (iv) that there is no other reason why it would be against the public interest to permit the merger or consolidation.
Where the above procedures are adopted, the Companies Act provides certain limited appraisal rights for dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the fair value of his shares upon their dissenting to the merger or consolidation if they follow a prescribed procedure. In essence, that procedure is as follows: (a) the shareholder must give his written objection to the merger or consolidation to the constituent company before the vote on the merger or consolidation, including a statement that the shareholder proposes to demand payment for his shares if the merger or consolidation is authorized by the vote; (b) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice to each shareholder who made a written objection; (c) a shareholder must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company, give the constituent company a written notice of his intention to dissent including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (d) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in paragraph (b) above or seven days following the date on which the plan of merger or consolidation is filed, whichever is later, the constituent company, the surviving company or the consolidated company must make a written offer to each dissenting shareholder to purchase his shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the shareholder such amount; and (e) if the company and the shareholder fail to agree a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company (and any dissenting shareholder) must file a petition with the Cayman Islands Grand Court to determine the fair value and such petition must be accompanied by a list of the names and addresses of the dissenting shareholders with whom agreements as to the fair value of their shares have not been reached by the company. At the hearing of that petition, the court has the power to determine the fair value of the shares together with a fair rate of interest, if any, to be paid by the company upon the amount determined to be the fair value. Any dissenting shareholder whose name appears on the list filed by the company may participate fully in all proceedings until the determination of fair value is reached. These rights of a dissenting shareholder are not available in certain
​

circumstances, for example, to dissenters holding shares of any class in respect of which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the relevant date or where the consideration for such shares to be contributed are shares of any company listed on a national securities exchange or shares of the surviving or consolidated company.
Moreover, Cayman Islands law has separate statutory provisions that facilitate the reconstruction or amalgamation of companies in certain circumstances, schemes of arrangement will generally be more suited for complex mergers or other transactions involving widely held companies, commonly referred to in the Cayman Islands as a “scheme of arrangement” which may be tantamount to a merger.
In the event that a merger was sought pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the procedures for which are more rigorous and take longer to complete than the procedures typically required to consummate a merger in the United States), the arrangement in question must be approved by a majority in number of each class of shareholders and creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent three-fourth in value of each such class of shareholders or creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting, or meeting summoned for that purpose. The convening of the meetings and subsequently the terms of the arrangement must be sanctioned by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands. While a dissenting shareholder would have the right to express to the court the view that the transaction should not be approved, the court can be expected to approve the arrangement if it satisfies itself that:
➤ we are not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of our corporate authority and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been complied with;
➤ the shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question; the arrangement is such as a businessman would reasonably approve; and
➤ the arrangement is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Companies Act or that would amount to a “fraud on the minority.”
If a scheme of arrangement or takeover offer (as described below) is approved, any dissenting shareholder would have no rights comparable to appraisal rights (providing rights to receive payment in cash for the judicially determined value of the shares), which would otherwise ordinarily be available to dissenting shareholders of United States corporations.
Squeeze-out Provisions. When a tender offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer relates within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, require the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer. An objection can be made to the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, but this is unlikely to succeed unless there is evidence of fraud, bad faith, collusion or inequitable treatment of the shareholders.
Further, transactions similar to a merger, reconstruction and/or an amalgamation may in some circumstances be achieved through means other than these statutory provisions, such as a share capital exchange, asset acquisition or control, or through contractual arrangements of an operating business.
Shareholders’ Suits. Campbells, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, is not aware of any reported class action having been brought in a Cayman Islands court. Derivative actions have been brought in the Cayman Islands courts, and the Cayman Islands courts have confirmed the availability for such actions. In most cases, we will be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to us, and a claim against (for example) our officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, based both on Cayman Islands authorities and on English authorities, which would in all likelihood be of persuasive authority and be applied by a court in the Cayman Islands, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:
➤ a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or ultra vires (beyond the scope of its authority);
➤ the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could be effected if duly authorized by more than the number of votes which have actually been obtained; or
​

➤ those who control the company are perpetrating a “fraud on the minority.”
A shareholder may have a direct right of action against us where the individual rights of that shareholder have been infringed or are about to be infringed.
Enforcement of Civil Liabilities. The Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States and provides less protection to investors. Additionally, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the Federal courts of the United States.
We have been advised by Campbells, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against us judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against us predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.
Special Considerations for Exempted Companies. We are an exempted company with limited liability (meaning our public shareholders have no liability, as members of the company, for liabilities of the company over and above the amount paid for their shares) under the Companies Act. The Companies Act distinguishes between ordinary resident companies and exempted companies. Any company that is registered in the Cayman Islands but conducts business mainly outside of the Cayman Islands may apply to be registered as an exempted company. The requirements for an exempted company are essentially the same as for an ordinary company except for the exemptions and privileges listed below:
➤ annual reporting requirements are minimal and consist mainly of a statement that the company has conducted its operations mainly outside of the Cayman Islands and has complied with the provisions of the Companies Act;
➤ an exempted company’s register of members is not open to inspection;
➤ an exempted company does not have to hold an annual general meeting;
➤ an exempted company may issue negotiable shares or shares with no par value;
➤ an exempted company may obtain an undertaking against the imposition of any future taxation (such undertakings are usually given for 20 years in the first instance);
➤ an exempted company may register by way of continuation in another jurisdiction and be deregistered in the Cayman Islands;
➤ an exempted company may register as a limited duration company; and an exempted company may register as a segregated portfolio company.
Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
​

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association contain provisions designed to provide certain rights and protections relating to our initial public offering that will apply to us until the completion of our initial business combination. These provisions cannot be amended without a special resolution. As a matter of Cayman Islands law, a resolution is deemed to be a special resolution where it has been approved by either (i) the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds (or any higher threshold specified in a company’s articles of association) of a company’s shareholders entitled to vote and so voting at a general meeting for which notice specifying the intention to propose the resolution as a special resolution has been given; or (ii) if so authorized by a company’s articles of association, by a unanimous written resolution of all of the company’s shareholders. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that special resolutions must be approved either by at least two-thirds of our shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company (i.e., the lowest threshold permissible under Cayman Islands law), or by a unanimous written resolution of all of our shareholders.
Further, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that a quorum at our general meetings will consist of one-third of the ordinary shares entitled to vote at such meeting and present in person or by proxy; provided that a quorum in connection with any meeting that is convened to vote on a business combination or any amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity shall be a majority of the ordinary shares entitled to vote at such meeting being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy.
Our initial shareholders and their permitted transferees, if any, who will collectively beneficially own approximately 20% of our ordinary shares upon the closing of our initial public offering, will participate in any vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. Specifically, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides, among other things, that:
➤ if we do not consummate an initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then- outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and our board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law;
➤ prior to the completion of our initial business combination, we may not issue additional securities that would entitle the holders thereof to (i) receive funds from the trust account or (ii) vote as a class with our public shares (a) on our initial business combination or on any other proposal presented to shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of an initial business combination or (b) to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to (x) extend the time we have to consummate a business combination beyond 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (y) amend the foregoing provisions;
➤ although we do not intend to enter into a business combination with a partner business that is affiliated with our sponsor, our directors or our executive officers, we are not prohibited from doing so. In the event we enter into such a transaction, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or an independent valuation or accounting firm that such a business combination or transaction is fair to our company from a financial point of view;
​

➤ if a shareholder vote on our initial business combination is not required by applicable law or stock exchange rule and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, we will offer to redeem our public shares pursuant to Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act, and will file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing our initial business combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about our initial business combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act;
➤ our initial business combination must occur with one or more partner businesses that together have an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the trust account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in trust and taxes payable on the interest earned on the trust account) at the time of signing the agreement to enter into the initial business combination;
➤ if our shareholders approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 24 months from the closing of our initial public offering or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares or pre-initial business combination activity, we will provide our public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their ordinary shares upon such approval 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations described herein; and
➤ we will not effectuate our initial business combination solely with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.
In addition, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that under no circumstances will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.
The Companies Act permits a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands to amend its memorandum and articles of association with the approval of a special resolution. A company’s articles of association may specify that the approval of a higher majority is required but, provided the approval of the required majority is obtained, any Cayman Islands exempted company may amend its memorandum and articles of association regardless of whether its memorandum and articles of association provides otherwise. Accordingly, although we could amend any of the provisions relating to our proposed offering, structure and business plan which are contained in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, we view all of these provisions as binding obligations to our shareholders and neither we, nor our officers or directors, will take any action to amend or waive any of these provisions unless we provide dissenting public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their public shares.
Anti-Money Laundering—Cayman Islands
In order to comply with legislation or regulations aimed at the prevention of money laundering, we are required to adopt and maintain anti-money laundering procedures, and may require subscribers to provide evidence to verify their identity and source of funds. Where permitted, and subject to certain conditions, we may also delegate the maintenance of our anti-money laundering procedures (including the acquisition of due diligence information) to a suitable person.
We reserve the right to request such information as is necessary to verify the identity of a subscriber. In some cases the directors may be satisfied that no further information is required since an exemption applies under the Anti- Money Laundering Regulations (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, as amended and revised from time to time (the “Regulations”). Depending on the circumstances of each application, a detailed verification of identity might not be required where:
​

(a) the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution;
(b) the subscriber is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based or incorporated in, or formed under the law of, a recognized jurisdiction; or (c) the application is made through an intermediary which is regulated by a recognized regulatory authority and is based in or incorporated in, or formed under the law of a recognized jurisdiction and an assurance is provided in relation to the procedures undertaken on the underlying investors.
For the purposes of these exceptions, recognition of a financial institution, regulatory authority or jurisdiction will be determined in accordance with the Regulations by reference to those jurisdictions recognized by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority as having equivalent anti-money laundering regulations.
In the event of delay or failure on the part of the subscriber in producing any information required for verification purposes, we may refuse to accept the application, in which case any funds received will be returned without interest to the account from which they were originally debited.
We also reserve the right to refuse to make any distribution payment to a shareholder if our directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of such distribution to such shareholder might result in a breach of applicable anti-money laundering or other laws or regulations by any person in any relevant jurisdiction, or if such refusal is considered necessary or appropriate to ensure our compliance with any such laws or regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.
If any person resident in the Cayman Islands knows or suspects, or has reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, that another person is engaged in criminal conduct or is involved with terrorism or terrorist property and the information for that knowledge or suspicion came to their attention in the course of business in the regulated sector or other trade, profession, business or employment, the person will be required to report such knowledge or suspicion to (i) the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (2021 Revision) of the Cayman Islands if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) a police officer of the rank of constable or higher, or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and property. Such a report will not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.
Data Protection in the Cayman Islands—Privacy Notice
We have certain duties under the Data Protection Act, 2017 of the Cayman Islands (the “DPL”) based on internationally accepted principles of data privacy.
Introduction
This privacy notice puts our shareholders on notice that through your investment in the company you will provide us with certain personal information which constitutes personal data within the meaning of the DPL (“personal data”).
In the following discussion, the “company” refers to us and our affiliates and/or delegates, except where the context requires otherwise.
Investor Data
We will collect, use, disclose, retain and secure personal data to the extent reasonably required only and within the parameters that could be reasonably expected during the normal course of business. We will only process, disclose, transfer or retain personal data to the extent legitimately required to conduct our activities of on an ongoing basis or to comply with legal and regulatory obligations to which we are subject. We will only transfer personal data in accordance with the requirements of the DPL, and will apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of the personal data and against the accidental loss, destruction or damage to the personal data.
​

In our use of this personal data, we will be characterized as a “data controller” for the purposes of the DPL, while our affiliates and service providers who may receive this personal data from us in the conduct of our activities may either act as our “data processors” for the purposes of the DPL or may process personal information for their own lawful purposes in connection with services provided to us.
We may also obtain personal data from other public sources. Personal data includes, without limitation, the following information relating to a shareholder and/or any individuals connected with a shareholder as an investor: name, residential address, email address, contact details, corporate contact information, signature, nationality, place of birth, date of birth, tax identification, credit history, correspondence records, passport number, bank account details, source of funds details and details relating to the shareholder’s investment activity.
Who this Affects
If you are a natural person, this will affect you directly. If you are a corporate investor (including, for these purposes, legal arrangements such as trusts or exempted limited partnerships) that provides us with personal data on individuals connected to you for any reason in relation your investment in the Company, this will be relevant for those individuals and you should transmit the content of this Privacy Notice to such individuals or otherwise advise them of its content.
How the Company May Use Your Personal Data
The company, as the data controller, may collect, store and use personal data for lawful purposes, including, in particular:
(i) where this is necessary for the performance of our rights and obligations under any purchase agreements;
(ii) where this is necessary for compliance with a legal and regulatory obligation to which we are subject (such as compliance with anti-money laundering and FATCA/CRS requirements); and/or
(iii) where this is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests and such interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms.
Should we wish to use personal data for other specific purposes (including, if applicable, any purpose that requires your consent), we will contact you.
Why We May Transfer Your Personal Data
In certain circumstances, we may be legally obliged to share personal data and other information with respect to your shareholding with the relevant regulatory authorities such as the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority or the Tax Information Authority. They, in turn, may exchange this information with foreign authorities, including tax authorities.
We anticipate disclosing personal data to persons who provide services to us and their respective affiliates (which may include certain entities located outside the US, the Cayman Islands or the European Economic Area), who will process your personal data on our behalf.
The Data Protection Measures We Take
Any transfer of personal data by us or our duly authorized affiliates and/or delegates outside of the Cayman Islands shall be in accordance with the requirements of the DPL.
We and our duly authorized affiliates and/or delegates shall apply appropriate technical and organizational information security measures designed to protect against unauthorized or unlawful processing of personal data, and against accidental loss or destruction of, or damage to, personal data.
​

We shall notify you of any personal data breach that is reasonably likely to result in a risk to your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms or those data subjects to whom the relevant personal data relates.
If you consider that your personal data has not been handled correctly, or you are not satisfied with the company’s responses to any requests you have made regarding the use of your personal data, you have the right to complain to the Cayman Islands’ Ombudsman. The Ombudsman can be contacted by calling +1 (345) 946-6283 or by email at info@ombudsman.ky.
Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of our Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association
Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provides that our board of directors will be classified into three classes of directors. As a result, in most circumstances, a person can gain control of our board only by successfully engaging in a proxy contest at two or more annual general stock meetings.
Our authorized but unissued Class A ordinary shares and preference shares are available for future issuances without shareholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital, acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved Class A ordinary shares and preference shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.
Securities Eligible for Future Sale
Immediately after our initial public offering we had 14,375,000 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding on an as-converted basis. Of these shares, the Class A ordinary shares sold in our initial public offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except for any Class A ordinary shares purchased by one of our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All of the outstanding founder shares will be restricted securities under Rule 144, in that they were issued in private transactions not involving a public offering.
Rule 144
Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares or warrants for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) we are subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as we were required to file reports) preceding the sale.
Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares or warrants for at least six months but who are our affiliates at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:
➤ 1% of the total number of ordinary shares then outstanding; and
➤ the average weekly reported trading volume of the Class A ordinary shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales by our affiliates under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.
Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies
Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:
​

➤ the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;
➤ the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
➤ the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and
➤ at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.
As a result, our initial shareholders will be able to sell their founder shares and our sponsor will be able to sell its private placement warrants, forward purchase securities and the securities underlying the foregoing, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed our initial business combination.
Registration and Shareholder Rights
The holders of the founder shares, private placement warrants, Class A ordinary shares underlying the private placement warrants, warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of working capital loans), and any forward purchase securities will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of our initial public offering. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy- back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to our completion of our initial business combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provides that we will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the founder shares, as described in the following paragraph, and (ii) in the case of the private placement warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. We will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.
Except as described herein, our sponsor and our founding team have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell (i) any of their founder shares until the earliest of   (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our public shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, and (ii) any of their private placement warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of our sponsor and founding team with respect to any founder shares, private placement warrants and Class A ordinary shares issued upon conversion or exercise thereof. We refer to such transfer restrictions as the lock-up.
In addition, our sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for appointment to our board of directors, as long as the sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.
Listing of Securities
We list our units on NYSE under the symbol “GSQB.U.” The Class A ordinary shares and warrants are listed on NYSE under the symbols “GSQB” and “GSQB.W,” respectively. The units will automatically separate into their component parts and will not be traded following the completion of our initial business combination.
