officers and directors Repayment in cash, or up to $1.5 million of loans may be repaid in private placement warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender, which conversion may result in material dilution to our public shareholders Loans to finance the company’s working capital or transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination Berto Acquisition Sponsor II LLC, our officers or directors, or affiliates thereof Repayment in cash Any out-of-pocket expenses related to identifying, investigating, negotiating and completing an initial business combination Berto Acquisition Sponsor II LLC, our officers or directors, our advisors, or affiliates thereof Consulting, success, advisory, or finder’s fees Any services in order to effectuate the completion of our initial business, which, if made prior to the completion of our initial business combination, will be paid from funds held outside the trust account

Independent directors None Potential cash compensation for services rendered to us to be paid upon the earlier of closing an initial business combination or liquidation

Because our initial shareholders acquired the founder shares at a nominal price, our public shareholders will incur immediate and material dilution upon the closing of this offering. Further, our sponsor or an affiliate of our sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may loan us funds to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination. Such loans may be convertible into private placement warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The issuance of shares upon the exercise of such warrants may result in material dilution to our public shareholders. See the sections titled “Dilution” and “Risk Factors — The nominal purchase price paid by the initial shareholders for the founder shares may result in significant dilution to the implied value of your public shares upon the consummation of our initial business combination, and the value of the founder shares following completion of our initial business combination is likely to be substantially higher than the nominal price paid for them, even if the trading price of our ordinary shares at such time is substantially less than $10.00 per share.”

Table of Contents

Our founder shares are of the same class as the ordinary shares included in the units being sold in this offering. Our founder shares are identical to the public shares except that the founder shares are entitled to registration rights and subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in more detail in this prospectus. Unlike in other SPACs, our founder shares do not have conversion and anti-dilution rights in connection with the closing of a business combination. Therefore, if additional ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with our initial business combination, our founder shares will be diluted by such issuance pro rata with the public shares.

Pursuant to a letter agreement to be entered with us, we have agreed not to enter into a definitive agreement regarding an initial business combination without the prior consent of our sponsor. Further, pursuant to such letter agreement, each of initial shareholders and officers and directors has agreed to restrictions on its ability to transfer, assign, or sell the founder shares and private placement warrants, as summarized in the table below. Our letter agreement with our initial shareholders and officers and directors which contains the below provisions relating to transfer restrictions of our founder shares and private placement warrants, may be amended without shareholder approval. Such transfer restrictions have been amended in connection with business combinations for certain other SPACs. While we do not expect our board to approve any amendment to the letter agreement prior to our initial business combination, it may be possible that our board, in exercising its business judgment and subject to its fiduciary duties, chooses to approve one or more amendments to the letter agreement.
