Founder Shares In April 2021, the Company issued to CCIF Global LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), an aggregate of 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (the “Founder Shares,” and together with the Class A Shares, collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). No underwriting discounts, commissions, or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the purchase of Founder Shares. Except as described in the Registration Statement, none of the Founder Shares may be sold, assigned or transferred by the Sponsor until the earlier of (a) one year following the consummation of the Business Combination, (b) following the consummation of the Business Combination, the last sale price of the Class A Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, 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, and (c) the date following the consummation of the Business Combination on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities, or other property. The Founder Shares shall be subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Insider Letters (as defined below). The holders of Founder Shares shall have no right to any liquidating distributions with respect to any portion of the Founder Shares in the event the Company fails to consummate the Business Combination. The holders of the Founder Shares shall not have redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares. In the event that the Over-allotment Option is not exercised in full, the Sponsor will be required to forfeit such number of Founder Shares such that the Founder Shares then outstanding will comprise 20% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (but not including any Private Placement Securities (as defined below)) after giving effect to the Offering and exercise, if any, of the Over-allotment Option. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Shares concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Prospectus.
No Rights as Stockholder; No Voting Rights The Employee shall have no rights as a stockholder of the Company with respect to any shares covered by the Options until the exercise of the Options and delivery of the shares. No adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the delivery of the shares. Any shares delivered in respect of the Options shall be subject to any Subscription Agreement, which the Company may require the Employee to accept and agree to as a condition of the issuance and delivery of those shares.

Subject to Section 2.3 below, during the Support Period, Stockholder shall not cause or permit any Transfer of any of the Subject Securities to be effected.

If any involuntary transfer of any Subject Shares covered hereby shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect.
Company Shares If the managing underwriter has not limited the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, the Company may include securities for its own account or for the account of others in such registration if the managing underwriter so agrees and if the number of Registrable Securities which would otherwise have been included in such registration and underwriting will not thereby be limited.
Class B Shares As of December 1, 2009, Class B shares of the Virtus Mutual Funds are no longer available for purchase by new or existing shareholders, except for the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions into existing Class B share accounts, and for exchanges from existing Class B share accounts to other Virtus Mutual Funds with Class B shares.

Shares of Dissenting Shareholders Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any issued and outstanding Company Common Shares held by a person who did not vote in favor of the Merger and who complies with all the provisions of the Companies Act concerning the right of holders of Company Common Shares to require appraisal of their Company Common Shares pursuant to Bermuda law (such shareholder, a “Dissenting Shareholder”, and such shares, “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as described in Section 2.1(a), but shall be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Shareholder pursuant to the procedures set forth in the Companies Act. In the event that a Dissenting Shareholder fails to perfect, effectively withdraws or otherwise waives any right to appraisal, its Company Common Shares shall be deemed to be cancelled and converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration for each such Dissenting Share, without interest. Company shall give Parent (i) prompt notice of (A) any written demands for appraisal of Dissenting Shares or withdrawals of such demands received by Company and (B) to the extent that Company has actual knowledge, any attempted applications to the Supreme Court of Bermuda for appraisal of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any demands for appraisal under the Companies Act.
