Preliminary, Subject to completion, DATED SEPTEMBER 19, 2024

PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
OF SHAREHOLDERS OF CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.
AND PROSPECTUS FOR UP TO 47,191,873 ORDINARY SHARES, 14,400,000 WARRANTS AND 14,400,000
ORDINARY SHARES ISSUABLE UPON THE EXERCISE OF THE WARRANTS OF FST CORP.

On December 22, 2023, Chenghe Acquisition I Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“Chenghe” or “SPAC”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with FST Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“CayCo”), FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (“Merger Sub”), and Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., a company limited by shares incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 04465819 (“FST” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “FST Parties”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Chenghe with Chenghe being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and Chenghe will change its name to “FST Ltd.” (the “Business Combination”). The closing of the Business Combination will be conditional upon, among other things, the closing of the FST Restructuring (the “FST Restructuring Closing”) (as discussed further below). The time of the closing of the Business Combination is referred to herein as the “Closing.” The date of the Closing of the Business Combination is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”

FST Restructuring

To maximize CayCo’s control over FST’s business and operations after the Closing and enhance the efficiency of future fundraising, the parties intend to have each existing FST Shareholder exchange the Company Shares held by it, him or her with CayCo Ordinary Shares, so that at the Closing, or as soon as practicable thereafter, CayCo will be the sole shareholder of FST. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo shall have acquired at least 90% of all issued and outstanding Company Shares on or prior to the Closing. Such restructuring is expected to be effected in two phases.

The FST Parties will use their respective best efforts to cause each other counterparties thereto to execute and deliver (i) the Phase I Restructuring Documents with the relevant parties thereto within seventy-two (72) calendar days after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which CayCo will acquire 55% of the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares, and (ii) the Phase II Restructuring Documents (and together with Phase I Restructuring Documents, the “Company Restructuring Documents”) as soon as reasonably practicable and legally feasible and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Financial Supervisory Commission of Taiwan issues its approval for the termination of the Company’s Taiwan Public Company status. The FST Parties will use their respective best efforts to procure the Company Restructuring Documents to be executed with each of the relevant parties thereto such that the Company Acquisition Percentage shall be at least 90%. The purchase and acquisition of the Company Shares by CayCo in accordance with the FST Restructuring Documents at the FST Restructuring Closing shall be referred to as the “Company Acquisition”.

The FST Parties agree that the Company Restructuring Documents shall provide that at the FST Restructuring Closing, CayCo shall issue and allot to each FST Shareholder who has agreed to so subscribe (“Company Shareholders Subscription” and together with Company Acquisition, the “FST Restructuring”) in respective of each Company Share owned by such person, a number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that is no more than the Subscription Factor, subject to any adjustment in relation to the issuance of fractional shares as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

The FST Restructuring Closing shall take place one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date or such other time and place as Chenghe and FST may mutually agree.

As soon as practicable and to the extent legally feasible under applicable laws after the Closing, FST shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into and consummate (a) a transaction with CayCo for CayCo to acquire the Company Shares owned by the Company Shareholders who choose not to participate in the FST Restructuring or (b) other alternative transactions to be agreed by Chenghe Investment I Limited (the “New SPAC Sponsor”) and FST. At the consummation of such share exchange transaction, CayCo will be the sole shareholder of FST.

The Merger

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, and in respect of SPAC Class B Conversion, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, (i) each outstanding SPAC Unit (“SPAC Unit”), consisting of one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) SPAC Warrant, will be automatically separated

Table of Contents

(“Unit Separation”) and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) SPAC Warrant; (ii) each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share (the “SPAC Class B Conversion”) and each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; (iii) each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (A) issued in connection with the SPAC Class B Conversion; and (B) held as a result of Unit Separation) shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) CayCo Ordinary Share; and (iv) each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a CayCo Warrant, which shall be on the same terms and conditions as the applicable SPAC Warrant.

At the Closing, in accordance with the Companies Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, Merger Sub will merge with and into Chenghe, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Chenghe will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo.

The board of directors of Chenghe (“Chenghe Board”) has approved the Business Combination. Proposals to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the other matters discussed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement will be presented at the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Chenghe Shareholders scheduled to be held at [•] a.m. Eastern Time, on [•], 2024, via live webcast at [•]. As described in further detail in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, Chenghe Board has determined that each of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals is fair to and in the best interest of SPAC and its shareholders and recommended that SPAC Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposals, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented. In relation to the approval of the Business Combination, Chenghe Board did not receive any report, opinion or appraisal from an outside party or an unaffiliated representative materially relating to (i) its determination that the Business Combination transaction is advisable and in the best interests of SPAC and SPAC Shareholders, (ii) its approval of the Business Combination, (iii) the consideration or the fairness of the consideration to be offered to FST Shareholders in the Business Combination or (iv) the fairness of the Business Combination to SPAC, SPAC Shareholders or SPAC Sponsors. Chenghe Board reviewed the valuation analysis that Chenghe’s management prepared with the assistance of Revere Securities LLC based on documents and information provided by FST. For details, see “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Summary of Financial and Valuation Analyses of FST” on page 124.

Although CayCo is not currently a public reporting company, following the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement is a part and the Closing, CayCo will become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). CayCo intends to apply for listing of the CayCo Ordinary Shares on either The New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) (either, the “Stock Exchange”), under the proposed symbol “KBSX,” to be effective at the consummation of the Business Combination. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that the CayCo Ordinary Shares are approved for listing on the Stock Exchange (subject only to official notice of issuance thereof). While trading on the Stock Exchange is expected to begin on the first Business Day following the date of completion of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that CayCo’s securities will be listed on the Stock Exchange or that a viable and active trading market will develop. CayCo does not intend to apply for the listing of the CayCo Warrants on any stock exchange after the Closing. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 63 for more information.

In connection with the Business Combination, Chenghe and FST agreed on a fixed pre-money equity value of U.S.$400 million for the Post-Closing Company. At the consummation of the FST Restructuring, CayCo will issue and allot to each FST Shareholder who agrees to participate in the FST Restructuring in respective of each Company Share owned by such person, a number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that is no more than the Subscription Factor, which is the number resulting from dividing (x) the result of the quantity of U.S.$400 million divided by U.S.$10.00, by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares as at the time of calculation. Any increase in the number of FST Shareholders who participate in the FST Restructuring will increase in the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the FST Restructuring and at the consummation of the Business Combination.

In addition, FST shall, as soon as practicable and to the extent legally feasible under the applicable laws after the Closing, use reasonable best efforts to enter into and consummate (a) a transaction with CayCo for CayCo to acquire the Company Shares owned by the Remaining Company Shareholders or (b) other alternative transactions to be agreed by the New SPAC Sponsor and FST. For the illustrative purpose only, we assume that at the consummation of the FST Restructuring, all FST Shareholders agree to participate in the FST Restructuring.

Table of Contents

Assuming none of the Public Shareholders demand redemption pursuant to the Chenghe Articles, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 61.70% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.25% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (i i i) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 18.10% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (i v) the Public Shareholders will hold approximately 6.40% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (v) the holders of SPAC Public Warrant will hold 10.55% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

____________

(1) Assumes that 1,970,937 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $22.52 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024.

(2) Assumes that 3,031,981 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $34.64 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses

Table of Contents

incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions.

(3) On November 8, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor notified Chenghe that it had elected to convert 1,058,127 Founder Shares to the same number of SPAC Public Shares. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Founder Shares were converted into the same number of SPAC Public Shares (the “Converted SPAC Public Shares”). The Converted SPAC Public Shares are identical to the SPAC Public Shares, except that (i) they are entitled to registration rights, (ii) they are subject to the transfer restrictions as set forth in the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, (iii) pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsors agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Converted SPAC Public Shares in connection with (A) the SPAC’s initial business combination, (B) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the SPAC’s constitutional documents to (x) modify the substance or timing of the SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the SPAC’s initial business combination, or to redeem 100% of SPAC Public Shares if SPAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (y) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

(4) The Sponsors and their affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the post-Closing Company, assuming the exercise and conversion of all securities following the Closing, including the SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Converted SPAC Public Shares as described above, and Founder Shares, is estimated to comprise approximately 18.10% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a no redemption scenario, 18.70% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in an intermediate redemption scenario and 19.04% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a maximum redemption scenario.

(5) Assumes the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Public Warrants, each for one CayCo Ordinary Share, at the closing of the Business Combination.

(6) Assumes the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Private Placement Warrants, each for one CayCo Ordinary Share, at the closing of the Business Combination. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, the Sponsors have not extended any working capital loan to Chenghe, which may be convertible into warrants at the option of the Sponsors. None of Chenghe, its directors and officers are aware of any intention to obtain any working capital loan which may be convertible into warrants from the Sponsors.

Conflicts of Interest

When considering Chenghe Board’s recommendation that Chenghe’s shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, shareholders should be aware that the Sponsors, Chenghe’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated SPAC S hareholders, which could cause them to benefit from and incentivize them to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Chenghe directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination and did not believe that such interests would preclude them from approving the Business Combination or from recommending the Business Combination to shareholders, considering that these interests would be disclosed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 Founder Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination but will become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Based on the closing price for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares of $11.55 on Nasdaq on September 11, 20 24, after giving effect to the Sponsor Sale, the value of the Founder Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor would be $6,930,000;

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $7,900,000 for its 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and that such SPAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA with the Old SPAC Sponsor for the acquisition of an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price

Table of Contents

of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 20 24, the value of the Founder Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $18,386,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $12,221,366.85;

• the fact that the Sponsors are anticipated to hold 18.10% of issued and outstanding shares of CayCo immediately following the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the exercise of SPAC Private Placement Warrants);

• the fact that given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as compared to the price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants and the substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors will receive upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (as applicable) SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have a negative return on their investment;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed not to redeem any SPAC Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement;

• the fact that the Sponsors will lose their entire investment in SPAC if an initial business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline Date. The Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have not incurred any out-of-pocket fees and expenses in relation to the initial business combination since the SPAC IPO, except that, on October 25, 2023, SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000, and on July 11, 2024, SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by them if SPAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investing possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SPAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, SPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by the Extended Deadline;

• the right of the Sponsors to hold the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

• in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of SPAC to consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify SPAC to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, or such lesser per-public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which SPAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to SPAC, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

Table of Contents

• the Sponsors (including its representatives and affiliates) and SPAC’s officers and directors are, or in the future may become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in similar business to SPAC. For example, the New SPAC Sponsor is controlled by Mr. Qi Li (hereinafter referred to as “Richard Qi Li”), who is the owner of Chenghe Group Limited, founder and director of Chenghe Capital Management Limited and also serves as a director and the chief executive officer of HH&L Acquisition Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and served as chairman of the board of Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. The SPAC’s chief executive officer, Yixuan Yuan, is chief executive officer and director of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and a Managing Director of Chenghe Group Limited. The SPAC’s chief financial officer, Zhaohai Wang, is chief financial officer of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. and an associate at Chenghe Capital Management Limited. The SPAC’s chairman of the board, Dr. Shibin Wang, served as chief executive officer of Chenghe Acquisition Co. and is chairman of the board of directors of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. The Sponsors and SPAC’s officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target;

• the fact that SPAC’s Sponsors, officers and directors have not received any cash compensation in relation to the Business Combination. Following the Closing, CayCo intends to develop an executive compensation program that will be made by the compensation committee of CayCo and Mr. Richard Qi Li, who controls the New SPAC Sponsor, will become a director of CayCo upon Closing;

• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of SPAC’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

• the fact that SPAC has entered into a registration rights agreement with the Sponsors, which provides for customary registration rights to them and their permitted transferees.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivations in identifying and selecting FST and completing a business combination with FST, and may influence the operation of the Post-Closing Company following the Business Combination by some of them. For more information about SPAC’s business and Sponsors’ shareholding in SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on page 190. For dilution of non-redeeming SPAC shareholder s, see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe have after consummation of the Business Combination” on page 26.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. For more discussion about executive compensation prior to the Business Combination, see “Executive Compensation — Executive Compensation prior to the Business Combination” on page 251. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Shareholders should also be aware that interests of FST, FST officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to SPAC Shareholders. After Closing, certain FST officers and directors will be appointed as officers and directors of CayCo and certain of them will hold CayCo Ordinary Shares, assuming no redemption, amounting to 20.11% of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Closing. Given the differential in the purchase price that FST officers and directors paid for the FST Shares they hold (i.e., less than approximately NTD 306.20 per share) and the price of the Public Shares and the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares the FST officers and directors will receive upon exchange of the FST Shares, the FST officers and directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if the Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment. See “Beneficial Ownership of CayCo Securities after Business Combination” on page 301. Furthermore, Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their SPAC Shares upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies. See “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — The Business Combination — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 42.

As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, none of CayCo, FST and SPAC has entered into any agreement with any investor in relation to any PIPE Investment (as defined below).

CayCo is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (“JOBS Act”), and is therefore eligible to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements otherwise applicable to other public companies.

CayCo is also a “foreign private issuer” as defined in the Exchange Act, and will be exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act that impose certain disclosure obligations and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations under Section 14 of the Exchange Act. In addition, CayCo’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Moreover, CayCo will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission as frequently or as promptly as U.S. companies whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act.

CayCo is a Cayman Islands holding company and does not conduct operations directly. After the Closing of the Business Combination, CayCo will conduct its operations primarily through FST, its subsidiary. To the extent CayCo’s cash in the business is in Taiwan, the funds may not be available to distribute dividends to CayCo’s investors, or for other use outside of Taiwan, due to interventions in or the imposition of restrictions and limitations on the ability of CayCo or CayCo’s subsidiaries by the Taiwan government to transfer cash. The Taiwan government imposes controls on the convertibility of New Taiwan Dollar into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of Taiwan. FST receives substantially all of its revenue in U.S. Dollars. Under current Taiwan laws and regulations, FST may pay dividends only out of their accumulated after-tax profits each year upon satisfaction of relevant statutory conditions and procedures, if any, determined in accordance with Taiwanese accounting standards and regulations. In addition, FST is required to maintain certain statutory reserves and shall also allocate a portion of its after-tax profits to staff welfare and bonus funds, which in each case are not distributable as cash dividends except in the event of liquidation. In accordance with the Company Act of Taiwan, 10% of the net profit shall be allocated as legal reserve until the accumulated legal reserve equals the paid-in capital. Further, the reservation for staff welfare and bonus funds shall comply with the regulations of the articles of incorporations. Furthermore, FST is required to complete certain procedural requirements related to foreign exchange control in order to make dividend payments in foreign currencies. The conversion of New Taiwan Dollar into any foreign currency and remittance of foreign currencies into and out of Taiwan are subject to Taiwan foreign exchange regulations. Under the current Taiwan foreign exchange co ntrol regula tions, foreign exchange including payment of dividends to shareholders, do not require prior ap proval from the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan), if the amount does not exceed the annual foreign exchange quota promulgated by the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan) (“Taiwan CBC”). Under certain circumstances as prescribed by the relevant Taiwan regulations, documentary evidence of such foreign exchange transactions shall be presented and such transactions shall be conducted at designated foreign exchange banks in Taiwan which have the licenses to carry out foreign exchange business. However, there is no assurance that these foreign exchange regulations will remain unchanged in the future. If the relevant Taiwan regulations change in the future and any required approval is not obtained, FST’s ability to make payments

Table of Contents

to CayCo in foreign currency may be restricted, and CayCo’s capital expenditure plans, business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Under the current Taiwan regulations, Taiwan CBC regulates the declaration of foreign exchange receipts, disbursements and transactions involving at least NT$500,000 (U.S.$16,329) or the equivalent in foreign currency. A Taiwanese company, may, upon filing a duly completed and executed declaration form via the banks registered with Taiwan CBC, conduct foreign exchange transactions involving New Taiwan Dollars for trade-related purposes of up to U.S.$50 million in aggregate per calendar year without special approval from Taiwan CBC. Foreign exchange transactions for non-trade-related purposes or exceeding the applicable annual quota threshold would require special approval from Taiwan CBC, which will be at the discretion of and considered by Taiwan CBC on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, CayCo may provide loans to FST. If the term of the loan is longer than one year, the FST shall file a declaration of foreign debt to the competent authority when the parties sign a loan agreement or when the loan is remitted into Taiwan. CayCo cannot assure you that the Taiwan government will not intervene in such transactions or impose restrictions on the ability of CayCo and its subsidiaries to transfer cash. See “Ris k Factors — FST is subject to foreign exchange control imposed by Taiwan authorities, which may affect the paying dividends, repatriating the interest or making other payments to CayCo.” and “Risk Factors — FST is subject to restrictions on paying dividend or making other payments to CayCo, which may restrict CayCo’s ability to satisfy its liquidity requirements.”

The accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement provides Chenghe Shareholders with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 63 of the accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the securities to be issued in connection with the Business Combination, or determined if this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement is accurate or adequate. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Investing in Chenghe and CayCo securities involves a high degree of risk. Before making an investment decision, please read the information under the section entitled “Risk Factors” elsewhere in the accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and under similar headings or in any amendment or supplement to the accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

CayCo is a “foreign private issuer” under the Exchange Act and therefore is exempt from certain rules under the Exchange Act, including the proxy rules, which impose certain disclosure and procedural requirements for proxy solicitations for U.S. and other issuers. Accordingly, after the Business Combination, CayCo Shareholders (as defined in the accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement) may receive less or different information about CayCo than they would receive about a U.S. domestic public company. See “Risk Factors — CayCo will be a foreign private issuer, and as a result, CayCo will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.”

The accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement is dated [•], 2024, and is expected to be first mailed or otherwise delivered to SPAC Shareholders on or about [•], 2024.

• Proposal No. 5 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon, as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals presented to the shareholders for vote.

The items of business listed above are more fully described elsewhere in the proxy statement. Whether or not you intend to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, we urge you to read the attached proxy statement in its entirety, including the annexes and accompanying financial statements, before voting. IN PARTICULAR, WE URGE YOU TO CAREFULLY READ THE SECTION IN THE PROXY STATEMENT TITLED “RISK FACTO RS.”

Only holders of record of ordinary shares of Chenghe at the close of business on [•], 2024 (the “record date”) are entitled to notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

After careful consideration, our board of directors has determined that each of the proposals listed is fair to and in the best interests of Chenghe and its shareholders and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of the proposals set forth above. When you consider the recommendations of our board of directors, you should keep in mind that our directors and officers may have interests in the Business Combination that conflict with, or are different from, interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders. See the section titled “SPAC Shareholders Proposal No. 1 — T he Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

The Closing is conditioned on approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If any of these proposals is not approved and the applicable closing condition in the Business Combination Agreement is not waived, then we will not consummate the Business Combination.

All shareholders at the close of business on the record date are cordially invited to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, which will also be held over the Internet by means of a live webcast at [•]. To ensure your representation at the Extraordinary General Meeting, however, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the postage-paid return envelope provided and, in any event so as to be received by Chenghe no later than [•] a.m. Eastern Time, on [•], 2024, being 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). In the case of joint shareholders, where more than one of the joint shareholder purports to appoint a proxy, only the appointment submitted by the most senior holder (being the first named holder in respect of the shares in our register of members) will be accepted. If you are a holder of record of ordinary shares of ours at the close of business on the record date, you may also cast your vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you hold your ordinary shares in “street” name, which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote the shares you beneficially own or, if you wish to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the shareholder of record and email a copy (a legible photograph is sufficient) of your proxy to proxy@continentalstock.com no later than 72 hours prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Holders should contact their bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding obtaining a legal proxy. Holders who email a valid legal proxy will be issued a meeting control number that will allow them to register to attend and participate in the Extraordinary General Meeting virtually. You will receive an email prior to the meeting with a link and instructions for entering the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Voting on all resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll rather than on a show of hands. On a poll, votes are counted according to the number of ordinary shares registered in each shareholder’s name, with each ordinary share carrying one vote.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting or not, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

(1) Assumes that 1,970,937 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $22.52 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024.

(2) Assumes that 3,031,981 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $34.64 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions.

(3) On November 8, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor notified Chenghe that it elected to convert 1,058,127 Founder Shares to the same number of SPAC Public Shares. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Founder Shares were converted into the same number of Converted SPAC Public Shares. The Converted SPAC Public Shares are identical to the SPAC Public Shares, except that (i) they are entitled to registration rights, (ii) they are subject to the transfer restrictions as set forth in the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, (iii) pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsors agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Converted SPAC Public Shares in connection with (A) the SPAC’s initial business combination, (B) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the SPAC’s constitutional documents to (x) modify the substance or timing of the SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the SPAC’s initial business combination, or to redeem 100% of SPAC Public Shares if SPAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (y) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity

(4) The Sponsors and their affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the post-Closing Company, assuming the exercise and conversion of all securities following the Closing, including the SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Converted SPAC Public Shares as described above, and Founder Shares, is estimated to comprise approximately 18.10% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a no redemption scenario, 18.70% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in an intermediate redemption scenario and 19.04% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a maximum redemption scenario.

(6) Assumes the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Private Placement Warrants, each for one CayCo Ordinary Share, at the closing of the Business Combination. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, the Sponsors have not extended any working capital loan to Chenghe, which may be convertible into warrants at the option of the Sponsors. None of Chenghe, its directors and officers are aware of any intention to obtain any working capital loan which may be convertible into warrants from the Sponsors.

• Please see sections entitled “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — Ownership of CayCo Post-Closing” and “Unaudited Pro forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information” for more information. The SPAC Board considered various factors in determining whether to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination. For more information about the decision-making process of the SPAC Board, see the section entitled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — SPAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination and Recommendation.” When you consider the unanimous recommendation of the SPAC Board, you should keep in mind that the Sponsors have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders. Please see the section entitled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

• In addition to voting on the proposal to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, the SPAC Shareholders will also be asked to consider and vote on the approval of a proposal to approve the adjournment of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If put forth at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal will be the only proposal voted upon and the Business Combination Proposal will not be submitted to the SPAC Shareholders for a vote at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND
THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The following questions and answers do not include all the information that may be important to our shareholders. We urge shareholders to carefully read this entire Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including the annexes and the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposed Business Combination and the voting procedures for the Extraordinary General Meeting.

We will hold the Extraordinary General Meeting of shareholders to consider and vote upon these proposals. This Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and its annexes contain important information about the proposed Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. You should read this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and its annexes carefully and in their entirety.

The vote of shareholders Is important. Regardless of how many shares you own, you are encouraged to vote as soon as possible after carefully reviewing this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Q: Why is the Company providing shareholders with the opportunity to vote on the Business Combination?

A: Pursuant to Chenghe Articles, we are required to provide Public Shareholders with an opportunity to have their shares redeemed for cash upon the consummation of our initial business combination, either in conjunction with a shareholder vote or tender offer. Due to the structure of the Business Combination, we are providing this opportunity in conjunction with a shareholder vote.

Q: What will happen to our securities upon consummation of the Business Combination?

A: SPAC Units and Public Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “LATGU” and “LATG.” On September 8, 2023, Nasdaq delisted the SPAC Public Warrants due to SPAC’s failure to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value of its outstanding SPAC Public Warrants, as set forth in Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5452(b)(C). The SPAC Public Warrants are currently listed on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol of “LATGF”. CayCo does not intend to apply for the listing of the CayCo Warrants on any stock exchange after the Closing. For more information, please see “Risk Factors — SPAC Public Warrants are delisted from Nasdaq.” Our securities will cease trading upon consummation of the Business Combination. FST intends to apply for listing of CayCo Ordinary Shares on the Stock Exchange under the symbol “KBSX,” to be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination. While trading on Stock Exchange is expected to begin on the first Business Day following the consummation of the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that CayCo Ordinary Shares will be listed on the Stock Exchange or that a viable and active trading market will develop.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to a U.S. Holder of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and/or SPAC Warrants?

A: Subject to the limitations and qualifications described more fully under the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” it is intended by the parties to the Business Combination Agreement that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (i) the FST Restructuring together with the Merger qualify as a transfer of property described in Section 351 of the Code and/or (ii) the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. However, there are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Transactions qualify for such intended tax treatment, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. No ruling has been, or will be, sought by Chenghe or FST from the IRS with respect to the Business Combination and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the intended tax treatment or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

The tax consequences of the Business Combination are complex and will depend on your particular circumstances. For a more detailed discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination for U.S. Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and/or SPAC Warrants, see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” If you are a U.S. Holder whose SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and/or SPAC Warrants are exchanged in the Business Combination, you are urged to consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences thereof.

The summary above is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed discussion provided in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Table of Contents

Q: Why is the Company proposing the Business Combination?

A: We were incorporated to effect a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.

On January 27, 2022, we consummated the SPAC IPO of 13,000,000 SPAC Units at an offering price of $10.00 per SPAC Unit, generating total gross proceeds of $130,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the SPAC IPO, we consummated the sale of 7,900,000 warrants at pa price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to the Old SPAC Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7,900,000, a portion of which was sold by the Old SPAC Sponsor to the New SPAC Sponsor in the Sponsor Sale consummated on October 6, 2023. Following the closing of the SPAC IPO, an amount equal to $132,600,000 from the net proceeds of the sale of the SPAC Units and SPAC Private Placement Warrants in the SPAC IPO was placed into the Trust Account. Since the SPAC IPO, our activity has been limited to the evaluation of business combination candidates.

On April 13, 2023, we held the First Extension Meeting, at which SPAC Shareholders approved the First Extension Amendment Proposal, the First Trust Amendment Proposal, the SPAC Class B Ordinary Share Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal. In connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders holding 7,399,517 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $77.5 million (approximately $10.47 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $58.6 million remained in the Trust Account.

On October 25, 2023, we held the Second Extension Meeting, at which SPAC Shareholders approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the Second Trust Amendment Proposal, and the 2023 Name Change Proposal. In connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders holding 1,658,610 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $18.1 million (approximately $10.94 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $43.0 million remained in the Trust Account.

On November 8, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor notified the SPAC that it elected to convert 1,058,127 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by itself to the same number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the SPAC Class B Ordinary Share Amendment Proposal. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor were converted into the same number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, there are 5,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and 2,191,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

We believe that the Business Combination will provide our shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the ownership of a company with significant growth potential. See the section titled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No.1 — The Business Combination Proposal — SPAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination and Recommendation.”

Q: Did Chenghe Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A: No. Chenghe Board did not obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of Chenghe Board and our management team in valuing FST and will be assuming the risk that Chenghe Board may not have properly valued the business. However, our directors and officers have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. Furthermore, in analyzing the Business Combination, Chenghe Board conducted significant due diligence on FST. Based on the foregoing, Chenghe Board had given due and proper consideration to all matters and things that are necessary or appropriate, including that the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to our shareholders and that FST’s fair market value was at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts previously disbursed to the Company’s management for taxes and excluding the amount of deferred underwriting discounts held in the Trust Account), to enabled it to evaluate and reach an information conclusion as to the fairness and reasonableness of the Transactions. There can be no assurance, however, that Chenghe Board was correct in its assessment of the Business Combination. For a complete discussion of the factors utilized by Chenghe Board in approving the Business Combination, see the section titled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”

Q: Will projections that Chenghe Board considered when evaluating and recommending the Business Combination be realized?

A: In performing its analysis of FST, Chenghe Board considered, among other things, and relied on certain information, including forecasts and financial projection prepared by, and at the direction of, the management of FST. See the section titled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Summary of Financial and Valuation Analyses of FST.”

The projected financial information was prepared using several qualitative assumptions, including the following assumptions that FST management believed to be material:

• projected revenue is based on a variety of operational assumptions, including among others continued growth in the golf population, the growing participation in golf by the millennials and female, and the continued development of golf in emerging markets, such as China and Middle East, the continued development in off-line golf activities, the gradual decline in the inflation rate and global interest rate, the recovery of economy in major economies, the realization of synergy from acquisitions of other golf shaft industry player, and the reach of economy of scale with increased operation scale;

• FST will be able to grow the brand recognition for its KBS shafts in the United States through opening additional boutiques and collaborating with other golf club brands;

• FST will successfully select, acquire and merge its operation with an acquisition target in the golf shaft industry space, which in turn, will lead to increased manufacturing capacity, cost-savings through economy of scale, increased revenue, and improved industry competitive position;

• FST will complete its planned acquisition within the timeframe as planned;

• FST will be able to continue to develop golf shafts accepted and liked by the golf community, and design new golf shafts for the growing niches in the market, such as millennials, who are more cost-sensitive, and females, who prefer light weight shafts;

• FST will be able to successfully market its products in other markets, such as Europe, Japan, Korea, China and Middle East, each may have difference customer preferences as compared with the United States;

• FST will be able to manage its cost of operation and realize cost-saving after its planned acquisition. Reduction in costs associated with manufacturing overhead, warranty and logistics are taken into consideration as well; and

• other key assumptions impacting profitability projections including headcount, third party contractors, engineering consulting and prototyping spend, but excluding costs associated with public company operations and compliance.

For description of the quantitative assumptions based on which the projections were prepared, see the section entitled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Summary of Financial and Valuation Analyses of FST.” Note the unaudited projected financial information is subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the unaudited projected financial information, including, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to FST’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. For more information, see “Risk Factors — CayCo’s forecasts and projections are based upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by its management. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, CayCo’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected. ”

Q: Do I have redemption rights?

A: If you are a Public Shareholder, you have the right to demand that we redeem your Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the cash held in our Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. We refer to the right to demand redemption of the Public Shares as “redemption rights.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares.

21

Table of Contents

Accordingly, all Public Shares in excess of 15% held by a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed and converted into cash.

Furthermore, under the Business Combination Agreement, as one of the Closing Conditions, we shall not redeem Public Shares that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions, unless such condition have been waived by all parties.

Q: Will how I vote on the Business Combination affect my ability to exercise my redemption rights?

A: No. A Public Shareholder may exercise redemption rights regardless of whether it votes for or against the Business Combination Proposal or votes on such proposal at all, or if it is a shareholder on the Record Date. This means that any Public Shareholder holding Public Shares may exercise redemptions rights so long as it holds Public Shares as of the date it tenders the shares for redemption, regardless of whether it is entitled to vote on any of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals and regardless of whether it votes at all.

Q: How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A: If you are a Public Shareholder and wish to exercise your redemption rights, you must demand that we redeem your shares for cash and tender your Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, our transfer agent, no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may tender your Public Shares by either delivering your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the transfer agent or by delivering your Public Shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (“DWAC”) System. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your Public Shares are properly tendered for redemption. Any Public Shareholder satisfying the requirements for exercising redemption rights will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $[•] per share, as of the Record Date), less any owed but unpaid taxes on the funds in the Trust Account and deferring underwriting fees. Such amount will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account.

Any request for redemption, once made by a Public Shareholder, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is [•], 2024 (two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting), and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. If you deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to our transfer agent and later decide prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the address listed at the end of this section or, if you hold your shares in “street name,” by contacting your bank, broker or other nominee and following their instructions to withdraw your request for redemption.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by our transfer agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms or Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the transfer agent.

If you are a Public Shareholder and you exercise your redemption rights validly, it will not result in loss of any SPAC Public Warrants that you may hold.

Q: If I am a holder of the SPAC Public Warrants, can I exercise redemption rights with respect to my warrants?

A: No. Warrant holders have no redemption rights with respect to such securities.

Q: Can the Sponsors and their respective affiliates redeem their Founder Shares and/or Converted SPAC Public Shares, as the case may be, in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination?

A: No. The Sponsors and their respective affiliates have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the SPAC Public Shares that they may acquire and SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares they may hold in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, pursuant to the SPAC

Table of Contents

IPO Letter Agreement, and they did not, and are not expected to, receive any consideration in exchange for such waiver. As set forth in the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the relevant parties agreed to waive their redemption rights in order to induce SPAC and the underwriters of SPAC IPO to enter into the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement and to proceed with the SPAC IPO.

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences to me if I exercise my redemption rights?

A: We expect that a U.S. Holder (as defined below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for its SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will generally be treated as selling such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares resulting in the recognition of capital gain or loss. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that such U.S. Holder owns or is deemed to own (including through the ownership of warrants) prior to and following the redemption. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the redemption depend on your particular facts and circumstances. In addition, the potential application of the “passive foreign investment company” rules may impact such tax consequences as described below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.” For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, please see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” We urge you to consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights, including with respect to the application of the “passive foreign investment company” rules to any such exercise of redemption rights.

Q: Do I have appraisal rights if I object to the proposed Business Combination?

A: The Cayman Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights will be available and sets the limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available and have been validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost, dissenting shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares as determined by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Regardless of whether shareholder appraisal rights are or are not available, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein. However, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares who elect to exercise appraisal rights will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

In order for Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares to validly exercise their appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Companies Act, they must provide to Chenghe prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting their written objection to the Business Combination and a statement demanding the payment for their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, and subsequently comply with all procedures and requirements of Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act for the exercise of shareholder appraisal rights.

In essence, that procedure is as follows: (i) as noted above, 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; (ii) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice of such approval to each shareholder who made a written objection; (iii) 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 in respect of all of his shares, including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (iv) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in (iii) 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 dissenting shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the dissenting shareholder such amount; and (v) if the company and the dissenting shareholder fail to agree on a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company must (and any dissenting shareholder may) file a petition with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands 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.

Q: What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A: The net proceeds of the SPAC IPO, together with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the warrants in a private placement to the Old SPAC Sponsor, equal in the aggregate to $132,600,000, were placed in the Trust Account immediately following the SPAC IPO.

On April 13, 2023, we held the First Extension Meeting, in connection with which, shareholders holding 7,399,517 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $77.5 million (approximately $10.47 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $58.6 million remained in the Trust Account.

On September 8, 2023 and September 19, 2023, BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch respectively notified SPAC that they would not act in any capacity in connection with the Business Combination and waived their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination under and pursuant to the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement, dated January 24, 2022, by and among SPAC and BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, acting individually and as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (waivers of BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, collectively, the “BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver”).

On October 25, 2023, we held the Second Extension Meeting, in connection with which, shareholders holding 1,658,610 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $18.1 million (approximately $10.94 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $43.0 million remained in the Trust Account.

On September 17, 2024, SPAC filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a potential Third Extension. SPAC Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds then in the Trust Account in connection with the Third Extension. If the Third Extension is approved by SPAC Shareholders, SPAC expects that certain amount of the funds in the Trust Account would be released to pay redeeming shareholders.

After consummation of the Business Combination, the funds in the Trust Account will be used to pay, on a pro rata basis, Public Shareholders who exercise redemption rights and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination. Any remaining cash will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Post-Closing Company.

Q: What are the potential impacts on the Business Combination resulting from the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver?

A: In connection with the Sponsor Sale, SPAC approached BofA Securities, Inc., and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch to discuss waiver of deferred underwriting commission in September 2023.

On September 8, 2023 and September 19, 2023, BofA Securities, Inc., and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch respectively notified SPAC that they would not act in any capacity in connection with the Business Combination and waived their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination under and pursuant to the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement, dated January 24, 2022, by and among SPAC and BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, acting individually and as representatives of the several underwriters named therein.

The deferred underwriting commission would have become due upon the consummation of the Business Combination because BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch had performed all their obligations under the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement to obtain their fee and are therefore gratuitously waiving their right to be compensated. Such fee waivers for services already rendered is unusual. Based on discussions with BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, the principal reason for the waiver of their respective deferred fee was due to their respective internal policies in relation to de-SPAC processes. BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch did not and currently do not hold any advisory or other role in connection with the Business Combination following the issuance of waiver letters nor did they assist in the identification or evaluation of business combination targets in any significant respect.

On December 2, 2021, SPAC signed an engagement letter with BofA Securities, Inc., pursuant to which, SPAC engaged BofA Securities, Inc. to act as its financial advisor in connection with the proposed SPAC IPO. SPAC does not believe that this engagement letter will adversely affect the Business Combination in any manner as BofA Securities, Inc. has waived its entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination. In addition, BofA Securities, Inc. and its affiliates no longer enjoy rights of first refusal to act as the SPAC’s non-exclusive placement agent in connection with any private investment in public equity transaction in connection with a financing to fund the Business Combination since such rights expire the earlier of (i) the date that is two years from the date of the SPAC IPO and (ii) the date on which SPAC has effectuated an initial Business Combination. There are certain provisions of such engagement letter which would survive a termination, including that (x) BofA Securities, Inc. will keep confidential certain information provided to it in connection with its engagement; (y) the engagement letter and any claims, counterclaims or disputes that may arise out of or relate to it will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and (z) BofA Securities, Inc. will be entitled to customary indemnification from SPAC. SPAC did not enter into an engagement letter with Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch.

SPAC continues to have customary obligations with respect to use of information and indemnification under the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver stipulates waiver of deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination and the firms do not forfeit or waive any claim or right they may otherwise have under the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement. These provisions include SPAC’s obligation to (i) indemnify and hold harmless each underwriter, the directors, officers, employees and agents of each underwriter, each person who controls any underwriter and each affiliate of each underwriter against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the SPAC IPO registration statement, any preliminary prospectus, the pricing prospectus or the prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any issuer free writing prospectus, any “roadshow” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act or any testing-the-waters communication, each used in connection with the SPAC IPO, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and (ii) reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending against any such action or claim; subject in each case to customary exceptions.

In addition, the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement described above contains a contribution provision in the event that the indemnity obligations are unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party, however, no underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the offered securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay. There can be no assurance that SPAC would have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnification claims.

We have requested BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch to confirm that they agree with the disclosure regarding their waiver of entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission and the risks and conclusions stated herein that are associated with their roles. BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch have declined to provide any confirmatory letters and have not otherwise confirmed whether they agree with such disclosure. There can be no assurances that the firms agree with the relevant disclosure and no inference can be drawn to this effect.

The withdrawal of BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch indicates that the firms do not want to be associated with the disclosure or underlying business analysis related to the Business Combination and that they claim no role in the Business Combination and disclaim any responsibility for any of the disclosure in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. The firms are not involved in the preparation of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Therefore, investors should not place any reliance on the fact that either firm has been previously involved with the SPAC IPO.

As of the date hereof, there is no dispute between any of the SPAC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, or any combination of the foregoing with respect to the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver. We do not believe that the Business Combination is adversely impacted by the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver. However, SPAC Public Shareholders may be more likely to elect to redeem their shares as a result of

the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver. See also “Risk Factors — Each of BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch has not been involved with the preparation of the disclosure in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement or the underlying transactions contemplated by the Business Combination.”

Q: What happens if a substantial number of Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

A: Public Shareholders may vote in favor of the Business Combination and still exercise their redemption rights, although they are not required to vote in any way to exercise such redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders is substantially reduced as a result of redemptions by Public Shareholders. To the extent that there are fewer public shares and public shareholders, the trading market for the ordinary shares of the Post-Closing Company may be less liquid than the market was for SPAC Public Shares prior to the Transactions, and the Post-Closing Company may not be able to meet the listing standards of a national securities exchange. In addition, to the extent of any redemptions, fewer funds from the Trust Account would be available to the Post-Closing Company following the consummation of the Business Combination.

Furthermore, under the Business Combination Agreement, as one of the Closing Conditions, we shall not redeem Public Shares that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions, unless such condition have been waived by all parties.

Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe, the Sponsors, and the FST Shareholders and their affiliates have in CayCo after consummation of the Business Combination?

A: In connection with the Business Combination, Chenghe and FST agreed on a fixed pre-money equity value of U.S.$400 million for the Post-Closing Company. At the consummation of the FST Restructuring, CayCo will issue and allot to each FST Shareholder who agrees to participate in the FST Restructuring in respect of each Company Share owned by such person, a number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that is no more than the Subscription Factor, which is the number resulting from dividing (x) the result of the quantity of U.S.$400 million divided by U.S.$10.00, by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares as at the time of calculation, and the aggregate number of such CayCo Ordinary Shares will be equal to the product of (x) total number of Company Shares owned by the Company Shareholders who have signed the Company Restructuring Documents and (y) the Subscription Factor. Any increase in the number of FST Shareholders who participate in the FST Restructuring will increase in the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the FST Restructuring and at the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, none of CayCo, FST and Chenghe has entered into any agreement with any investor in relation to the PIPE Investment.

In addition, FST shall, as soon as practicable and to the extent legally feasible under the applicable laws after the closing of the Business Combination, enter into and consummate a transaction with CayCo for CayCo to acquire the Company Shares owned by the Remaining Company Shareholders or other alternative transactions to be agreed by the New SPAC Sponsor and FST. For the illustrative purpose only, we assume that at the consummation of the FST Restructuring, all FST Shareholders agree to participate in the FST Restructuring.

Assuming none of the Public Shareholders demand redemption pursuant to the Chenghe Articles, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 61.70% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.25% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iii) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 18.10% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iv) the Public Shareholders will hold approximately 6.40% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; and (v) the holders of Public Warrant will hold approximately 10.55% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

Assuming intermediate redemptions by Public Shareholders, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 63.74% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.35% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding

share capital; (iii) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 18.70% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iv) the Public Shareholders will hold approximately 3.31% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; and (v) the holders of Public Warrant will hold approximately 10.90% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

Assuming maximum redemptions by Public Shareholders, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 64.89% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.25% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iii) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 19.04% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iv) the Public Shareholders will hold approximately 1.51% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; and (v) the holders of Public Warrant will hold approximately 11.10% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

The following table illustrates the ownership levels in the Post-Closing Company, assuming consummation of the Business Combination, the Company Acquisition Percentage reaching 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and assuming the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants, and no redemptions by Public Shareholders, 50% redemptions by Public Shareholders (the “Intermediate Redemption”) and the redemptions by Public Shareholders holding 3,031,981 Public shares, so that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes (the “Maximum Redemption”). The amounts of percentage ownership and voting power will change if the actual facts differ from the assumptions.

(1) Assumes that 1,970,937 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $22.52 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024.

(2) Assumes that 3,031,981 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $34.64 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions.

(3) On November 8, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor notified Chenghe that it elected to convert 1,058,127 Founder Shares to the same number of SPAC Public Shares. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Founder Shares were converted into the same number of Converted SPAC Public Shares. The Converted SPAC Public Shares are identical to the SPAC Public Shares, except that (i) they are entitled to registration rights, (ii) they are subject to the transfer restrictions as set forth in the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, (iii) pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsors agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Converted SPAC Public Shares in connection with (A) the SPAC’s initial business combination, (B) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the SPAC’s constitutional documents to (x) modify the substance or timing of the SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the SPAC’s initial business combination, or to redeem 100% of SPAC Public Shares if SPAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (y) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity

(4) The Sponsors and their affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the post-Closing Company, assuming the exercise and conversion of all securities following the Closing, including the SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Converted SPAC Public Shares as described above, and Founder Shares, is estimated to comprise approximately 18.10% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a no redemption scenario, 18.70% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in an intermediate redemption scenario and 19.04% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a maximum redemption scenario.

(5) Assumes the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Public Warrants, each for one CayCo Ordinary Share, at the closing of the Business Combination.

(6) Assumes the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Private Placement Warrants, each for one CayCo Ordinary Share, at the closing of the Business Combination. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, the Sponsors have not extended any working capital loan to Chenghe, which may be convertible into warrants at the option of the Sponsors. None of Chenghe, its directors and officers are aware of any intention to obtain any working capital loan which may be convertible into warrants from the Sponsors.

The following table further illustrates the potential impact of varying levels of redemptions and certain dilutive events on the per share value of the shares owned by non-redeeming Public Shareholders.

(1) Assumes that 1,970,937 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $22.52 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account of $45,037,172 as of June 30, 2024.

(2) Assumes that 3,031,981 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $34.64 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account of $45,037,172 as of June 30, 2024. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of

liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions.

(3) As of June 30, 2024, there were 5,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, consisting of 1,085,127 shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor and 3,941,873 held by unaffiliated SPAC Public Shareholders, and 2,191,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares

(4) Assumes (i) fixed pre-money equity value of $400 million of the Post-Closing Company, (ii) approximately $45.04 million of funds in the Trust Account immediately prior to any redemptions, (iii) the conversion of the Founder Shares to SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and (iv) the exercise of all 6,500,000 SPAC Public Warrants and 7,900,000 SPAC Private Warrants that will remain outstanding after consummation of the Business Combination regardless of the level of redemptions.

(5) The offering price of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares at SPAC IPO was $10.00 per share.

(6) As of June 30, 2024, net tangible book value per SPAC Shares was $5.66 based on total assets of $45,101,886, total liabilities of $4,390,085 and outstanding SPAC shares of 7,191,873.

(7) To maintain a $10.00 per share value for non-redeeming Public Shareholders, CayCo needs valuations of approximately $615.92 million at no redemptions, approximately $596.21 million at intermediate redemptions, and approximately $585.60 million at maximum redemptions.

Q: What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A: There are a number of Closing Conditions, including among others, (i) the accuracy of representations and warranties to various standards, from no material qualifier to a material adverse effect qualifier, (ii) material compliance with pre-closing covenants, (iii) no material adverse effect for the Company, (iv) the Company Acquisition Percentage reaching at least 90%; (v) the consummation of the FST Restructuring, (v) the delivery of customary closing certificates, (vi) the receipt of Taiwan DIR Approval and such approval being effective, (vii) the absence of a legal prohibition on consummating the Transactions, (viii) the absence of a legal prohibition on consummating the transactions, (ix) approval by Chenghe’s and FST’s shareholders, (x) approval of a listing application on the applicable Stock Exchange for newly issued shares, and (xi) Chenghe having at least U.S.$5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining after redemption. For a description of the Closing Conditions, see the section titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q: What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A: If we do not complete the Business Combination for whatever reason, we would search for another target business with which to complete a business combination. If we do not complete the Business Combination or another business combination by the Extended Deadline, we must redeem 100% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of outstanding Public Shares and, following such redemption, we will liquidate and dissolve. Our holders of the Founder Shares waived their redemption rights with respect to ordinary shares owned by them in the event a business combination is not effected in the required time period.

Q: How do our Sponsors intend to vote on the proposals?

A: The Sponsors beneficially own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of 45.2% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares prior to the Business Combination. They have agreed to vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and all other proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and to not exercise redemption rights with respect to their shares.

Q: What interests do the Sponsors and our current directors and officers have in the Business Combination?

A: In considering the recommendation of Chenghe Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, our Sponsors, directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of unaffiliated shareholders generally, which could cause them to benefit from and incentivize them to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Our directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination and did not believe that such interests would preclude them from approving the Business

29

Table of Contents

Combination or from recommending the Business Combination to shareholders, considering that these interests would be disclosed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 Founder Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination but will become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, after giving effect to the Sponsor Sale, the value of the Founder Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor would be $6,930,000;

• the fact that our Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $7,900,000 for its 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and that such SPAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA with the Old SPAC Sponsor for the acquisition of an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, the value of the Founder Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $18,386,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $12,221,366.85;

• the fact that the Sponsors are anticipated to hold 18.10% of issued and outstanding shares of the Post-Closing Company immediately following the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of our Public Shareholders and the exercise of SPAC Private Placement Warrants);

• the fact that, given the differential in the purchase price that our Sponsors paid for the Founder Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as compared to the price of the Public Shares and SPAC Public Warrants and the substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors and these individuals will receive upon conversion of the Founder Shares and (as applicable) SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors and these individuals can earn a positive return on their investment, even if Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment;

• the fact that our Sponsors have agreed not to redeem any SPAC Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement;

• the fact that our Sponsors will lose their entire investment in us if an initial business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Our Sponsors, officers and directors and their respective affiliates have not incurred any out-of-pocket fees and expenses in relation to our initial business combination since the SPAC IPO, except that, on October 25, 2023, SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000 (the “October 2023 Note”), and on July 11, 2024, SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000 (the “July 2024 Note”). As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668;

• the fact that our Sponsors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to Founder Shares held by them if we fail to complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that our Sponsors, officers, directors and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on our behalf, such as identifying and investing possible business targets and business combinations. However, if we fail to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, we may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

• the right of our Sponsors to hold the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

30

Table of Contents

• in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of the Company to consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, our Sponsors have agreed to indemnify us to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per Public Share, or such lesser per-public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or claims of any third party (other than our independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to us, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the Sponsors (including its representatives and affiliates) and SPAC’s officers and directors are, or in the future may become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in similar business to SPAC. For example, the New SPAC Sponsor is controlled by Mr. Qi Li (hereinafter referred to as “Richard Qi Li”), who is the owner of Chenghe Group Limited, founder and director of Chenghe Capital Management Limited and also serves as a director and the chief executive officer of HH&L Acquisition Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and served as chairman of the board of Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. Our chief executive officer, Yixuan Yuan, is chief executive officer and director of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and a Managing Director of Chenghe Group Limited. Our chief financial officer, Zhaohai Wang, is chief financial officer of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., and an associate at Chenghe Capital Management Limited. Our chairman of the board, Dr. Shibin Wang, served as chief executive officer of Chenghe Acquisition Co. and is chairman of the board of directors of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. The Sponsors and our officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject always to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target;

• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of some of our existing directors and officers and the continuation of our directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

• the fact that we have entered into a registration rights agreement with our Sponsors, which provides for customary registration rights to them and their permitted transferees.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivations in identifying and selecting FST and completing a business combination with FST, and may influence the operation of the Post-Closing Company following the Business Combination by some of them. For more information about SPAC’s business and Sponsors’ shareholding in SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on page 190. For dilution of non-redeeming SPAC shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe have after consummation of the Business Combination” on page 26.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. For more discussion about executive compensation prior to the Business Combination, see “Executive Compensation — Executive Compensation prior to the Business Combination” on page 251. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Table of Contents

Shareholders should also be aware that interests of FST, FST officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to SPAC Shareholders. After Closing, certain FST officers and directors will be appointed as officers and directors of CayCo and certain of them will hold CayCo Ordinary Shares, assuming no redemption, amounting to 20.11% of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Closing. Given the differential in the purchase price that FST officers and directors paid for the FST Shares they hold (i.e., less than approximately NTD 306.20 per share) and the price of the Public Shares and the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares the FST officers and directors will receive upon exchange of the FST Shares, the FST officers and directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if the Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment. See “Beneficial Ownership of CayCo Securities after Business Combination” on page 301. Furthermore, Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their SPAC Shares upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies. See “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — The Business Combination — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 42.

Q: When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A: It is currently anticipated that the Business Combination will be consummated promptly following the Extraordinary General Meeting, which is set for [•], 2024; however, such meeting could be adjourned or postponed to a later date, as described above. The Closing is also subject to other customary closing conditions. Furthermore, the signing parties to the Business Combination Agreement will have the right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement if the Business Combination is not consummated by the Agreement End Date, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: We urge you to carefully read and consider the information contained in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including the annexes, and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. Shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a holder of record of Public Shares at the close of business on the Record Date, you may vote by attending the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, including virtually by submitting a ballot through the web portal during the Extraordinary General Meeting webcast, or by submitting a proxy for the Extraordinary General Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying preaddressed postage paid envelope so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you hold your shares in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly voted and counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the virtual meeting and vote through the web portal, obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q: If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A: Your broker, bank or nominee can vote your shares without receiving your instructions on “routine” proposals only. Your broker, bank or nominee cannot vote your shares with respect to “non-routine” proposals, unless you provide instructions on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee.

The Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal, the Articles Amendment Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal are non-routine proposals. Accordingly, your broker, bank or nominee may not vote your shares with respect to these proposals, unless you provide voting instructions.

Q: May I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy card?

A: Yes. Shareholders of record may send a later-dated, signed proxy card to our transfer agent at the address set forth below so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the Extraordinary General Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting) or attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person, including virtually by submitting a ballot through the web portal during the Extraordinary General Meeting webcast. Shareholders of record also may revoke their proxy by sending a notice of revocation to our transfer agent, which must be received prior to the vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to change your instructions on how to vote. If you hold your shares in “street name” and wish to virtually attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and vote through the web portal, you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Q: What constitutes a quorum for the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: A quorum is the minimum number of our ordinary shares that must be present to hold a valid meeting. The holders of majority of the SPAC Ordinary Shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy shall be a quorum. Abstentions will count

33

Table of Contents

as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Voting on all resolutions at the Extraordinary General Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll vote. Shareholders will have one vote for each ordinary share owned at the close of business on the Record Date.

Q: What shareholder vote thresholds are required for the approval of each proposal brought before the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: Under Cayman Islands law and pursuant to Chenghe Articles, each of the Merger Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposals will require a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares which are voted on such resolution in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting at which a quorum is present. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the ordinary shares which are voted on such resolution in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting at which a quorum is present. Our Sponsors and SPAC Public Shareholders can vote in the Extraordinary General Meeting, therefore, the approval of the Business Combination does not require a majority of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders.

On October 25, 2023, we held the Second Extension Meeting, in connection with which, shareholders holding 1,658,610 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. Thereafter, 3,941,873 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding.

Therefore, in addition to the Founder Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the Sponsors (and their respective affiliates), assuming all issued and outstanding shares are voted on each proposal, we would need 1,544,582 Public Shares, or approximately 39.2% of the 3,941,873 Public Shares held by SPAC Public Shareholders (without taking into account the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by New SPAC Sponsor) to be voted in favor of each of the Merger Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposals, and we would need 345,937 Public Shares, or approximately 8.8% of the 3,941,873 Public Shares held by SPAC Public Shareholders to be voted in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.

On September 17, 2024, we filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a potential Third Extension. SPAC Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds then in the Trust Account in connection with the Third Extension. If the Third Extension is approved by SPAC Shareholders, we expect that certain amount of the funds in the Trust Account would be released to pay redeeming shareholders, the number of Public Shares would reduce and we would need less Public Shares voted in favor of the proposals for the proposals to be approved.

Brokers are not entitled to vote on the aforementioned proposals absent voting instructions from the beneficial holder. Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals as a matter of Cayman Islands law. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast.

Q: What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: If you fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is approved by our shareholders and consummated, you will become a shareholder of the Post-Closing Company.

If you fail to take any action with respect to the Extraordinary General Meeting and the Business Combination is not approved, you will continue to be a shareholder of Chenghe, and we will continue to search for another target business with which to complete an initial business combination. If we do not complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline, we must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeem 100% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to an amount then held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), and as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the board of directors, liquidate and dissolve.

34

Table of Contents

Q: What should I do with my share certificates?

A: Public Shareholders who do not elect to have their shares redeemed for a pro rata share of the Trust Account should wait for instructions from our transfer agent regarding what to do with their certificates. Public Shareholders who exercise their redemption rights must deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to our transfer agent or deliver their Public Shares electronically to our transfer agent using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting as described above. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your Public Shares are properly tendered for redemption.

Q: What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A: Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your shares.

Q: Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have engaged Sodali to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Extraordinary General Meeting. We have agreed to pay Sodali a fixed fee of $15,000, plus associated disbursements, to reimburse the firm for its reasonable and documented costs and expenses, and an amount equal to 6% of certain fees for administration, technology, and research and data services with a minimum charge of $2,500 and to indemnify the firm and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. We will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Public Shares for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of Public Shares and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Q: Who can help answer my questions?

SUMMARY OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT/PROXY STATEMENT

This summary highlights selected information contained in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. You should carefully read this entire Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including the annexes and accompanying ﬁnancial statements of SPAC and the Company, to fully understand the proposed Business Combination and the SPAC Shareholder Proposals to be considered at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting (each as described below). Please see the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Parties to the Business Combination

SPAC

SPAC is a blank check company incorporated on May 20, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving SPAC and one or more target businesses. For more information about SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain Information About SPAC.”

On June 2, 2021, the Old SPAC Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share, to cover certain offering expenses of SPAC in consideration for 3,737,500 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares. Up to 487,500 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture by the Old SPAC Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised.

Each SPAC Unit consists of one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, and one-half of one redeemable SPAC Public Warrant, with each SPAC Public Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The SPAC Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,000,000.

As of the date hereof, the Old SPAC Sponsor holds 600,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the New SPAC Sponsor holds 1,591,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and 1,058,127 Converted SPAC Public Shares. On October 6, 2023, upon the closing of the Sponsor Sale, the Old SPAC Sponsor transferred 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants it held to the New SPAC Sponsor.

Following the closing of the SPAC IPO, a total of $132,600,000 ($10.20 per SPAC Unit) of net proceeds of the SPAC IPO and certain of the proceeds of the private placement of warrants was placed in the Trust Account.

The Business Combination

On December 22, 2023, SPAC, CayCo, FST and Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC with SPAC being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo, and SPAC will change its name to “FST Ltd.” The Merger will become effective at the time when the Plan of Merger executed by SPAC and Merger Sub is registered by the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies or such later time as SPAC and FST may agree in writing. For more information, see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.”

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents are the result of extensive negotiations between Chenghe, FST and their respective representatives. The following is a brief summarized description of the background of Chenghe’s previous attempts at a business combination, its negotiations with and evaluation of FST, the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the related transactions, after the Sponsor Sale. The following is not intended to be a list of all opportunities initially evaluated or explored or discussions held by Chenghe, but rather to summarize the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement with FST. All dates and times referred to in the following chronology are Hong Kong time unless otherwise indicated. For more detailed background of the Business Combination and other information that Chenghe and FST consider material regarding the negotiation of the Business Combination, see “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Background of the Business Combination” on page 114.

Prior to the consummation of the SPAC IPO, Chenghe had not selected any business combination target and it had not, nor had anyone acting on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussion, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.

From the consummation of the SPAC IPO on January 27, 2022 to the date of Sponsor Sale, Chenghe’s previous management team commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. During this search process, the Old SPAC Sponsor evaluated over five (5) potential targets. The Old SPAC Sponsor had not entered into any definitive agreement with any target for a business combination transaction.

On September 1, 2023, J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, acting through its Cohen & Company Capital Markets division introduced the Old SPAC Sponsor to the New SPAC Sponsor. On September 4, 2023, the Old SPAC Sponsor held an initial teleconference with the New SPAC Sponsor to discuss the Sponsor Sale.

From September 11, 2023 to September 12, 2023, representatives of the Old SPAC Sponsor and the New SPAC Sponsor discussed and negotiated the commercial terms of the Sponsor Sale.

On September 16, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor and the Old SPAC Sponsor entered into a non-disclosure agreement, and representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor received access to Chenghe’s virtual data room.

On September 18, 2023, representatives of White & Case, the legal advisor to the New SPAC Sponsor (and after the consummation of the Sponsor Sale, legal advisor to Chenghe), shared an initial draft of the securities purchase agreement (“Sponsor Sale SPA”) with representatives of the Old SPAC Sponsor and Shearman & Sterling LLP (“Shearman & Sterling”), the legal advisor to the Old SPAC Sponsor. From September 19, 2023, representatives of the Old SPAC Sponsor, Shearman & Sterling, the New SPAC Sponsor and White & Case had several teleconferences to discuss the comments on the Sponsor Sale SPA. On September 29, 2023, the Sponsor Sale SPA was executed and on October 6, 2023, the Sponsor Sale was consummated. For more details about the Sponsor Sale, see “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Background of the Business Combination” and “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on pages 114 and 190, respectively.

Description of discovery and negotiation process with potential targets by the New SPAC Sponsor

Prior to the closing of the Sponsor Sale on October 6, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor began the process of searching for potential business combination targets for the special purpose acquisition companies that it may sponsor in the future. The New SPAC Sponsor sought to leverage its management team and directors’ professional and personal relationships to source potential targets, including (i) Dr. Shibin Wang (the chairman of the Chenghe Board, who has over 16 years’ experience in sales and trading of structured financial products, cross-border financing and other capital

39

Table of Contents

market activities), (ii) the industry connections built through the previous successful de-SPAC transaction led by the New SPAC Sponsor and its affiliates, and (iii) the extensive investment experience of the New SPAC Sponsor’s other affiliates.

In performing their roles at the New SPAC Sponsor and for other positions they hold, the New SPAC Sponsor’s management team and affiliates attended a variety of industry conferences and performed industry research, including, among others, telecommunication, media and technologies (TMT), green energy, biotechnology, fintech in the Asia Pacific region. The foregoing efforts led to the identification of a multitude of potential targets. Representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor contacted and communicated with these third parties for initial informational purposes. During this search process, the New SPAC Sponsor identified and conducted preliminary evaluations of 22 potential targets.

The New SPAC Sponsor’s initial evaluations consisted of a review of each potential target’s business, including but not limited to business due diligence, commercial due diligence, financial due diligence and legal due diligence, and such potential targets are from a variety of TMT, green energy, biotechnology, healthcare and fintech sectors.

Since September 2022, the New SPAC Sponsor and its affiliates entered into non-disclosure agreements (the “NDAs”) with more than 10 potential targets (including FST) that evidenced some or all of the following characteristics: the development of a robust go-to-market strategy, the profitability of the existing operations, the access to sizeable addressable market, the competitive position in the industry landscape, the establishment of thorough and long-lasting intellectual property protections, the creation of a novel technology or technologies, the distinguishing brand presence in local markets, the capabilities of in-house research, development and manufacturing, the scale of operation, and the implementation of necessary operational requirements.

FST’s financial advisor introduced FST to the New SPAC Sponsor as a business combination target that could potentially achieve investment criteria of the New SPAC Sponsor. On July 29, 2023, as part of the New SPAC Sponsor’s initial outreach to potential targets, the New SPAC Sponsor held an initial videoconference with FST’s management team to obtain a further understanding of FST and its management team.

Of the 22 companies that the New SPAC Sponsor evaluated, FST in particular met and exceeded the criteria that the New SPAC Sponsor sought in seeking to identify a potential business combination target for a special purpose acquisition company that it may sponsor in the future. FST is a Taiwanese company engaged in the research and development, production and sales of golf shafts. FST’s product line-up, the historic profitability of its operation, the maturity of its targeted markets, its global brand recognition, and progress in product development, in the New SPAC Sponsor’s view, were sufficient to support their continuous expansion in the local and global markets. The other targets evaluated by the New SPAC Sponsor failed to meet the criteria for the following reasons: (1) the early stage in product development, (2) the uncertainties in commercialization prospects, (3) the needs for additional financing to support further research and development, (4) regulatory uncertainties, and (5) historic financial performance. In particular, of the 10 potential targets with which the New SPAC Sponsor entered into preliminary discussions, they were eliminated for the following reasons: (i) they insisted on a minimum cash condition of the special purpose acquisition company at the consummation of the business combination; (ii) the parties were not aligned on the proposed valuation; and (iii) they have a China-related business which may bring potential regulatory uncertainties.

From September 21, 2023 to September 23, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor, intending to identify a potential business combination target for a special purpose acquisition company that it may sponsor in the future (including Chenghe, for which the New SPAC Sponsor was negotiating the Sponsor Sale with the Old SPAC Sponsor at the time), visited representatives of FST in Taiwan. On September 22, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor attended a meeting with FST’s management team discussing a potential business combination transaction.

From September 25, 2023 to September 27, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor, White & Case, FST and Landi Law Firm, the legal advisor to FST, discussed and negotiated a draft letter of intent, including key issues, such as valuation, Chenghe’s right to nominate certain number of board members to the combined company, and payment of extension expenses.

In negotiating the LOI, the New SPAC Sponsor’s representatives, advised by its financial advisor, based their valuation of FST on several factors, including, but not limited to, (i) detailed review, and where appropriate, adjustment, of company-provided financial projections; (ii) a discounted cash flow modeling exercise; and (iii) benchmarking analysis against publicly trading peers in the market, as well as sector-relevant SPAC deals announced but not yet closed.

Table of Contents

On September 27, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor and FST entered into a letter of intent (the “FST LOI”). The FST LOI provided for, among other things, (i) a pre-money equity valuation of FST at US$350 million to US$450 million; (ii) no minimum cash requirement as a condition to closing; and (iii) after the definitive agreement is signed, FST shall pay Chenghe approximately US$70,000 to US$80,000 per month for extension related expenses.

In the week following the execution of the FST LOI, the parties discussed and agreed on a work plan to (i) conduct legal, finance, business and tax due diligence with FST, (ii) prepare and implement transaction structure, and (iii) prepare and negotiate definitive agreements, including the business combination agreement and ancillary documents.

On October 4, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor (and subsequently after the consummation of the Sponsor Sale, Chenghe) engaged Lee and Li, Attorneys-at-Law (“Lee and Li”), as its Taiwan counsel, and Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP (“Maples”), as its Cayman Islands counsel.

From October to December of 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor received access to FST’s virtual data room and a series of emails, calls and materials were exchanged between Chenghe and FST. These exchanges included discussions of strategic, commercial and capital-raising plans and the transaction structure for implementing a business combination between FST and Chenghe.

From October 4, 2023 to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement on December 22, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor, White & Case, Lee and Li and Maples continued legal due diligence on FST, including, but not limited to, corporate structure, historical financing activities, data and privacy, intellectual property, material contracts, litigation, real and personal properties, employee matters, antitrust and compliance. During this process, White & Case and Lee and Li circulated six rounds of supplemental legal due diligence request list to FST and Landi Law Firm, and reviewed all responses relating thereto and highlighted key legal issues with Chenghe’s management.

From October 5, 2023 to December 9, 2023, representatives of Chenghe or the New SPAC Sponsor (as applicable), FST, White & Case, Lee and Li, and Landi Law Firm, together with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“Deloitte”), Chenghe’s tax advisor engaged by Chenghe on October 6, 2023, discussed the preliminary transaction structure via various teleconferences and reviewed the transaction structure proposal from a US, Taiwan, and Cayman tax perspective. They also exchanged multiple drafts of the transaction structure proposal to reflect the discussions and feedbacks from Chenghe, FST, and their respective financial, tax and legal advisors regarding the transaction structures.

From October 16, 2023 to October 18, 2023, representatives of FST visited representatives of Chenghe in Hong Kong to discuss the transaction timeline and the work plan of the proposed business combination between FST and Chenghe.

On November 17, 2023, representatives of White & Case shared an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement with representatives of FST and Landi Law Firm. On November 20, 2023, representatives of White & Case shared with representatives of FST and Landi Law Firm initial drafts of certain ancillary documents to the Business Combination Agreement. For more details regarding the negotiation process and terms of the Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents, see “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Background of the Business Combination” and “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on pages 114 and 190.

On December 22, 2023, the directors of CayCo and Merger Sub and the shareholders of CayCo and Merger Sub adopted written resolutions approving CayCo’s and Merger Sub’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement and the transaction documents to which CayCo and Merger Sub are or will be parties, as applicable. On the same day, Chenghe and FST executed the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary agreements and documentation related thereto. See the section titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents” of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement for a discussion of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and additional information about the ancillary agreements and documents entered into or to be entered into in connection with the Business Combination.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

Under the Business Combination Agreement, except as otherwise set forth therein, each party to the Business Combination Agreement will pay its own fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Ancillary Documents and the Transactions, including the fees and disbursements of legal counsel, investment bankers, finders and other representatives or consultants; provided that, FST shall bear all of the fees and costs relating to the extension of the SPAC Termination Date which shall not exceed U.S.$80,000 per month. If the

41

Table of Contents

Business Combination Agreement is terminated by SPAC or FST in accordance with its terms, FST will pay and reimburse all SPAC Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) and pay or cause to be paid a termination fee equal to U.S.$2,000,000 to SPAC (or one or more of its designees), and if the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by SPAC in accordance with its terms, FST will pay and reimburse all SPAC Transaction Expenses. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by FST in accordance with its terms, SPAC will pay and reimburse all Company Transaction Expenses (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). If the Closing occurs, then FST and CayCo will pay, or cause to be paid, all unpaid transaction expenses as provided in the Business Combination Agreement. FST will pay all transfer taxes incurred in connection with the FST Restructuring.

Each party to the Merger expects that they will be able to finance the costs of the Business Combination from the cash available to them at the time of the consummation of the Business Combination. Each of FST and SPAC expect that it will be able to pay its attorneys’ fees, investment bankers’ fees, finders’ and other representatives’ or consultants’ fees with funds then available to it at the Closing.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless all Closing Conditions are satisfied or, as applicable, waived. The Closing Conditions include, but are not limited to, the completion of FST Restructuring, and Chenghe having net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Business Combination.

Assuming maximum redemptions by SPAC Public Shareholders, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that CayCo would have approximately $585 million worth of ordinary shares.

As of June 30, 2024, Chenghe had $45,037,172 cash held in the Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank. Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned (less income taxes payable), to complete the Business Combination, after payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their Public Shares upon the consummation of the Business Combination, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies.

To finance transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination, or in connection with additional deposits into the Trust Account to extend the time available to Chenghe to consummate the Business Combination, the Sponsors or an affiliate of the Sponsors or certain of Chenghe’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan Chenghe funds on a non-interest-bearing basis as may be required. If the Business Combination is completed, Chenghe will repay such loaned amounts out of the proceeds of the funds remaining in the Trust Account. Otherwise, in the event that the Business Combination does not close, Chenghe may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay such loaned amounts. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of CayCo at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The terms of such warrants would be identical to those of the Private Placement Warrants.

To finance the Business Combination, CayCo may also enter into Subscription Agreements or other purchase agreements with “PIPE” investors for the purchase of CayCo Ordinary Shares at the time of the Business Combination. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, none of CayCo, FST and SPAC has entered into any agreement in relation to any PIPE Investment.

Business Combination Expenses

FST and Chenghe expect the Business Combination expenses to amount to approximately $8 million, and as of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $5.63 million in unpaid Business Combination expenses. Assuming none of the Public Shareholders demand redemption pursuant to the Chenghe Articles, it is anticipated that CayCo’s liquidity position following the Business Combination, including the amount of cash on hand, will be approximately $47 million. Assuming intermediate redemptions by Public Shareholders, it is anticipated that CayCo’s liquidity position following the Business Combination, including the amount of cash on hand, will be approximately $25 million. Assuming maximum redemptions by Public Shareholders, it is anticipated that CayCo’s liquidity position following the Business Combination, including the amount of cash on hand, will be approximately $12.5 million. However, there is no assurance that the Business Combination expenses actually incurred will not exceed the parties’ estimates, which would result in less liquidity available to CayCo at the Closing. There is no assurance that the liquidity available to CayCo immediately after the Business Combination will be sufficient for CayCo to conduct its operations, which could have material and adverse results on CayCo’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Company Shareholder Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC, FST, CayCo, certain FST Shareholders and certain CayCo Shareholders entered into the Company Shareholder Support Agreement, pursuant to which each such FST Shareholder and CayCo Shareholder that has signed thereof has agreed to, among other things, vote to the transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement, including the FST Restructuring and the Merger, and to not transfer any Subject Shares (as defined in the Company Shareholder Support Agreement) until termination of the Company Shareholder Support Agreement.

Lock-Up Agreement

At the Closing, CayCo, the New SPAC Sponsor, certain FST Shareholders and certain Sponsor Key Holders will enter into the Lock-Up Agreement, pursuant to which, the New SPAC Sponsor, and each such FST Shareholder and Sponsor Key Holder agrees to not to transfer any Lock-Up Shares (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) for a period of six (6) months after the Closing Date, with certain exceptions and carveouts.

Investor Rights Agreement

At the Closing, CayCo, FST, SPAC and other parties listed thereto will enter into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (i) CayCo will agree to undertake certain resale shelf registration obligations in accordance with the Securities Act and certain holders have been granted customary demand and piggyback registration rights, and (ii) each party to the Investor Rights Agreement agrees to cause (x) the board of CayCo to be comprised of five (5) directors (subject to increase by unanimous resolutions of the board from time to time), (y) one (1) of such directors should be nominated by the New SPAC Sponsor and (z) at least three (3) of whom shall be independent directors. As long as the Sponsor Parties (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) beneficially own any CayCo Ordinary Shares, CayCo shall take all necessary actions to cause the individuals nominated by the New SPAC Sponsor for election as directors to be elected as directors.

Geneva Agreement

On November 30, 2023, FST entered into a referral compensation agreement (the “Geneva Agreement”) with Geneva Capital PTE. LTD. (“Geneva” or “FST Advisor”), pursuant to which Geneva agreed to act as the arranger for FST in a potential business combination or merger with a U.S.-listed special purpose acquisition company (“US SPAC”). Geneva’s responsibilities include introducing a US SPAC to FST and facilitating the transaction that could result in FST being listed on a U.S. stock exchange. Under the Geneva Agreement, Geneva is entitled to receive a performance-based fee, which consists of 20% of the excess enterprise valuation above a base valuation of $250 million, capped at 5% of the total enterprise valuation, in the form of shares of FST upon consummation of the merger. As a result of this performance-based fee, Geneva will be issued 2,000,000 CayCo Ordinary Shares at Closing (the “Advisory Shares”). The agreement does not stipulate any cash compensation, nor does it impose exclusivity restrictions, as FST retains flexibility in its engagements regarding the transaction.

Ownership of CayCo Post-Closing

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, Company Shareholders and SPAC Shareholders will become CayCo Shareholders.

As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, none of CayCo, FST and SPAC has entered into any agreement with any investor in relation to any PIPE Investment.

Assuming the consummation of the Business Combination, the Company Acquisition Percentage reaching 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants, on a fully diluted basis, the following tables illustrate the varying ownership levels of CayCo Ordinary Shares after the Business Combination under three scenarios: (i) no redemptions by SPAC Shareholders, (ii) 50% of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have been redeemed, (iii) maximum number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares has been redeemed so that following the redemption, (a) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (b) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing;

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

For a detailed description of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to a U.S. Holder of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and/or SPAC Warrants, please see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” We urge you to consult your own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences, in particular with regard to the exercise of your redemption rights, including with respect to the application of the “passive foreign investment company” rules to any such exercise of redemption rights.

Anticipated Accounting Treatment

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SPAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on FST shareholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, FST comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, FST comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and FST’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Transactions will be treated as the equivalent of FST issuing share for the net assets of SPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SPAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions will be those of FST.

The Proposals for the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting

• Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon, as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to approve and adopt the business combination agreement dated as of December 22, 2023 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Chenghe, FST Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“CayCo”), FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (“Merger Sub”), and Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., a company incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 04465819 (“FST” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “FST Parties”), and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Chenghe with Chenghe being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and Chenghe will change its name to “FST Ltd.” (the “Business Combination”).

Please see the sections entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders,” “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal,” “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 2 — The Merger Proposal,” “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 3 — The Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal,” “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 4 — The Articles Amendment Proposals,” and “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 5 — The Adjournment Proposal” for more information on the foregoing proposals.

Date, Time and Place of SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting

The SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting will be held at [•] a.m. Eastern Time, on [•], 2024, at [•], and via live webcast at: [•], or such other date, time and place to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed, to consider and vote upon the SPAC Shareholder Proposals.

Voting Securities, Record Date

SPAC Shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting if they owned SPAC Ordinary Shares at the close of business on [•], 2024, which is the Record Date for the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting. SPAC Shareholders will have one vote for each SPAC Ordinary Share owned at the close of business on the Record Date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 7,191,873 SPAC Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,941,873 were held by Public Shareholders with the rest being held by the Sponsors.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to SPAC MAA, SPAC Public Shareholders may demand that SPAC redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SPAC Public Shareholders, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

SPAC Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if they deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the SPAC Transfer Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting. SPAC Public Shareholders do not need to affirmatively vote on the Business Combination Proposal or be a holder of such shares as of the Record Date to exercise redemption rights. If the Business Combination is not consummated, these shares will not be converted into cash. If a SPAC Public Shareholder properly demands conversion, delivers his, her or its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to SPAC Transfer Agent as described above, and the Business Combination is consummated, SPAC will convert each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share into a full pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the

52

Table of Contents

consummation of the Business Combination. If a SPAC Public Shareholder exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and will not become a CayCo Shareholder. See the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed for the redemption of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

Furthermore, under the Business Combination Agreement, as one of the Closing Conditions, SPAC shall not redeem Public Shares that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions, unless such condition have been waived by all parties.

Appraisal Rights

The Cayman Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights will be available and sets the limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available and have been validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost, dissenting shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares as determined by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Regardless of whether shareholder appraisal rights are or are not available, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein. However, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares who elect to exercise appraisal rights will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

In order for Holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares to validly exercise their appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Companies Act, they must provide to SPAC prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting their written objection to the Business Combination and a statement demanding the payment for their SPAC Ordinary Shares, and subsequently comply with all the procedures and requirements set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act for the exercise of shareholder appraisal rights.

In essence, that procedure is as follows: (i) as noted above, the shareholder must give his/her/its 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; (ii) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice of such approval to each shareholder who made a written objection; (iii) a shareholder must within 20 days following receipt of such notice from the constituent company, give the constituent company a written notice of his/her/its intention to dissent in respect of all of his shares, including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (iv) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in (iii) 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, her or its shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the dissenting shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the dissenting shareholder such amount; and (v) if the company and the dissenting shareholder fail to agree on a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company must (and any dissenting shareholder may) file a petition with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands 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.

Recommendations of SPAC’s Board of Directors to SPAC Shareholders

The SPAC Board has determined that each of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals is fair to and in the best interest of SPAC and its shareholders and recommended that SPAC Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposals, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination and Recommendations

The SPAC Board, in evaluating the transaction with FST, consulted with its legal counsel and financial and other advisors. In reaching its decision (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of, SPAC and its shareholders, and (ii) to recommend that the shareholders approve the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination, the SPAC Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. The independent directors of SPAC Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders to negotiate the terms of the Business Combination and/or prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

Before reaching its decision, the SPAC Board reviewed the results of management’s due diligence, which included:

• research on industry trends, competitive landscape and other industry factors;

• benchmarking versus key competitors on historical financial and operational performance;

• extensive meetings and calls with FST management team and representatives regarding operations, major suppliers and financial prospectus, among other customary due diligence matters;

• review of FST’s material business contracts and certain other legal and commercial diligence;

• review of FST’s business model and historical financial statements, among other financial information; and

• discussions with external advisors and review reports related to legal diligence prepared by external advisors.

In light of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the SPAC Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that the SPAC Board considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The SPAC Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by the SPAC Board. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The SPAC Board was conscious of the fact that there could be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as discussed in further detail below. This explanation of the SPAC Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section are forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In approving the Business Combination, the SPAC Board determined not to obtain a fairness opinion. The officers and directors of SPAC have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries and they have substantial experience with mergers and acquisitions. The SPAC Board had given due and proper consideration to all matters and things that are necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to whether the Business Combination was fair from a financial perspective to the SPAC Shareholders and the fair market value of FST is at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts disbursed to management for working capital purposes and excluding the amount of any deferred underwriting discount held in the Trust Account), to enable it to evaluate and reach an informed conclusion as to the fairness and reasonableness of the Transactions.

SPAC considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. In particular, SPAC Board considered the following positive factors, among others:

• FST’s Past Performance and Growth Potential. From the introduction of FST’s first steel shaft, FST has repeatedly proven its ability to adapt and innovate through challenging and changing times as demonstrated by a consistent track record of generating growth and long-term value for over 30 years.

54

Table of Contents

FST is a leading supplier of premium golf shafts to top global golf club original equipment manufacturers and distributors. FST is also a leading supplier of premium golf shafts to a growing direct-to-consumer market where shafts are primarily sold through fitting studios that focus on customizing golf clubs for the individual golfer. FST designs, manufactures, and markets golf club shafts under the widely-recognized KBS brand. Its shafts are adopted and played by many golf professionals on various professional golf tours around the world, including by multiple Masters, US Open, British Open, and PGA Championship champions. SPAC Board believes FST is one of a few golf shaft companies in the world that is capable, within its own facilities, of manufacturing golf shafts in large quantities at a consistently high quality. This competitive advantage allows FST to design, develop, and manufacture shafts for its customers in the quantity, quality, and the specific variety that is demanded by the global golf club brands and the growing direct-to-consumer markets. SPAC Board believes that the golf industry will continue to see growth in the coming years as the global affluent class continues to grow in numbers and through the introduction of new and innovative ways to play golf, and with FST’s capabilities and competitive advantages, FST will continue to increase market share and generate significant growth in the years to come.

• Business Opportunities. SPAC Board considered FST’s opportunities for future growth, including opportunities for gaining greater market share in golf shaft market, opportunities for growth of its shaft sales to currently underserviced countries and the opening of further KBS Golf Experience stores worldwide. The KBS Golf Experience stores are part of FST’s strategy to further develop and grow its presence in the direct-to-consumer golf shaft markets. SPAC Board expects that FST will be able to continue its products and services customization strategy and to enhance the vertical integration of its manufacturing and sales functions, to differentiate itself from direct competitors and golf brand companies.

• Strong Existing Management Team. SPAC Board considered FST’s existing management team of industry veterans, all of whom have been instrumental in FST’s record business results that will continue on FST post-Closing and provide valuable continued insight.

• Continued Support by Existing Shareholders. SPAC Board considered that major FST Shareholders had agreed to have their ownership subjected to lock-up agreements and existing FST shareholders will continue to own 61.70% of CayCo post-Closing (assuming no redemptions and the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants). These are strong signs of FST’s existing shareholders’ confidence in CayCo and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination.

• Lock-up. Major shareholders of FST have agreed to be subject to lock-up restrictions for at least six (6) months following the consummation of the Business Combination in respect of their equity interests in CayCo (subject to certain customary exceptions).

• Due Diligence. SPAC conducted a due diligence review of FST and its business, including review of relevant documentation and discussions with FST management and SPAC’s financial and legal advisors. Through SPAC’s detailed due diligence investigation, SPAC Board and management had knowledge of, and were familiar with, FST’s business, operation and financial condition, intellectual property, business model and material business relationships.

• Other Alternatives. Having reviewed other potential business combination opportunities available to SPAC, SPAC Board believes that the Business Combination presents the most attractive business combination opportunity available to SPAC based on the process it utilized to evaluate such other potential business combination opportunities and the belief that such process has not yielded more attractive alternatives, taking into account the potential risks, rewards and uncertainties associated with potential alternatives.

• Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligations and the termination provisions, were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between SPAC and FST, and SPAC Board believes that such terms are reasonable and fair to SPAC Shareholders.

55

Table of Contents

The SPAC Board also considered a variety of uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including but not limited to the following:

• Business and Industry Risks. FST operates in a highly competitive industry. In the premium golf shaft sector, some FST’s competitors are more well-known and have considerably more financial resources. In the standard and economy golf shaft sector, some FST’s competitors have more aggressive pricing strategies and lower labor costs. There is no guarantee that FST is able to maintain the competitiveness of its KBS brand and, in general, its competitive positioning in the industry. In addition, FST’s business will likely be impacted by the general economic condition, interest rate, discretionary spending level of retail customers, and popularity of the sport of golf, none of which FST has control over.

• Financial Risk. The projected financial information referenced or considered in connection with the Business Combination was prepared and provided by FST, reflecting currently available estimates and assumptions, presents the expected implementation of FST’s business plan and the expected future financial performance. Such projected financial information is subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the unaudited projected financial information, including, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to FST’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions, and risks and uncertainties relating to any acquisition of other golf shaft manufacturers, including, but not limited to, transaction costs, diversion of management’s resources and attention, potential impairment of goodwill, failure to realize cost-saving benefits and/or synergies. For the avoidance of doubt, FST has not engaged in any discussion with any other company in relation to potential acquisition, merger, or other forms of business combination. There is no guarantee that FST will move forward with any business combination transactions. Such information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

• Benefits Not Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

• Termination Date. The risk that the Business Combination may not be consummated by the earlier of SPAC Termination Date or January 26, 2025, upon the occurrence of which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated; provided that the right to terminate is not available to a party where the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date is caused by a failure of such party to perform and comply in all material respects with its covenants and agreements that are required to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing.

• Liquidation of SPAC. The risks and costs to SPAC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in SPAC being unable to effect a business combination by the SPAC Termination Date, and force it to liquidate and the SPAC Warrants to expire worthless.

• No Survival of Remedies for Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants of FST. The risk that SPAC will not have any surviving remedies against FST after the Closing to recover for losses as a result of any inaccuracies or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants of FST set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. As a result, following the Closing, SPAC Shareholders will not have the ability to recover for the amount of any damages resulting from a breach of FST representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. SPAC Board determined that this structure was appropriate and customary in light of the fact that several similar transactions include similar terms.

• Shareholder Vote. The risk that SPAC Shareholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to complete the Business Combination.

• Redemptions. The risk that holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares may redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash in connection with the Business Combination, thereby reducing the amount of cash available to SPAC and potentially resulting in an inability to consummate the Business Combination if the available cash in the Trust Account is less than $5,000,001, unless such Closing Condition is waived by all parties pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

56

Table of Contents

• Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain Closing Conditions that are not within SPAC’s control.

• Transaction Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

• Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing CayCo, a privately held entity, for the applicable disclosure, controls and listing requirements to which it will be subject as a publicly traded company on the Stock Exchange.

• No Fairness Opinion. SPAC Board did not obtain a fairness opinion from a bank stating that the consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was fair to SPAC from a financial point of view.

• Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance. The amount of equity to be held by FST’s existing shareholders, the fact that existing SPAC Shareholders will hold a minority position in CayCo following consummation of the Business Combination will have the effect of concentrating voting power with the existing FST shareholders, which will limit an investor’s ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

• Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

• Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of FST and the business of SPAC described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition, SPAC Board also considered the fact that the Sponsors, officers and directors of SPAC may have interests in the Business Combination that are in addition to, and that are different from, the interest of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders as described in “Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” below.

The SPAC Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected SPAC and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the SPAC Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated therein were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of SPAC and its shareholders. See the section entitled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — SPAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination and Recommendations.”

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the SPAC Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders generally, which could cause them to benefit from and incentivize them to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination and did not believe that such interests would preclude them from approving the Business Combination or from recommending the Business Combination to SPAC Shareholders, considering that these interests would be disclosed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. SPAC Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 Founder Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination but will become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Based on closing price for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on Nasdaq of $11.55 on September 11, 2024, after giving effect to the Sponsor Sale, the value of the Founder Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor would be $6,930,000;

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $7,900,000 for its 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and that such SPAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

57

Table of Contents

• the fact that the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA with the Old SPAC Sponsor for the acquisition of an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, the value of the Founder Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $18,386,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $12,221,366.85;

• the fact that the Sponsors are anticipated to hold 18.10% of issued and outstanding shares of CayCo immediately following the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the exercise of SPAC Private Placement Warrants);

• the fact that given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as compared to the price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants and the substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors will receive upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (as applicable) SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have a negative return on their investment;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed not to redeem any SPAC Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement;

• the fact that the Sponsors will lose their entire investment in SPAC if an initial business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline Date. The Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have not incurred any out-of-pocket fees and expenses in relation to the initial business combination since the SPAC IPO, except that, on October 25, 2023, SPAC issued the October 2023 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000, and on July 11, 2024, SPAC issued the July 2024 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by them if SPAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investing possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SPAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, SPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by the Extended Deadline;

• the right of the Sponsors to hold the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

• in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of SPAC to consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify SPAC to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, or such lesser per-public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which SPAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to SPAC, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the Sponsors (including its representatives and affiliates) and SPAC’s officers and directors are, or in the future may become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in similar business to SPAC. For example, the New SPAC Sponsor is controlled by Mr. Richard Qi Li, who is the owner of Chenghe Group Limited, founder and

58

Table of Contents

director of Chenghe Capital Management Limited and also serves as a director and the chief executive officer of HH&L Acquisition Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and as served chairman of the board of Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. The SPAC’s chief executive officer, Yixuan Yuan, is chief executive officer and director of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and a Managing Director of Chenghe Group Limited. The SPAC’s chief financial officer, Zhaohai Wang, is chief financial officer of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., and an associate at Chenghe Capital Management Limited. The SPAC’s chairman of the board, Dr. Shibin Wang, served as chief executive officer of Chenghe Acquisition Co. and is chairman of the board of directors of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. The Sponsors and SPAC’s officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target;

• the fact that SPAC’s Sponsors, officers and directors have not received any cash compensation in relation to the Business Combination. Following the Closing, CayCo intends to develop an executive compensation program that will be made by the compensation committee of CayCo and Mr. Richard Qi Li, who controls the New SPAC Sponsor, will become a director of CayCo upon Closing;

• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of SPAC’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

• the fact that SPAC has entered into a registration rights agreement with the Sponsors, which provides for customary registration rights to them and their permitted transferees.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivations in identifying and selecting FST and completing a business combination with FST, and may influence the operation of the Post-Closing Company following the Business Combination by some of them. For more information about SPAC’s business and Sponsors’ shareholding in SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on page 190. For dilution of non-redeeming SPAC shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe have after consummation of the Business Combination” on page 26.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. For more discussion about executive compensation prior to the Business Combination, see “Executive Compensation — Executive Compensation prior to the Business Combination” on page 251. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Shareholders should also be aware that interests of FST, FST officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to SPAC Shareholders. After Closing, certain FST officers and directors will be appointed as officers and directors of CayCo and certain of them will hold CayCo Ordinary Shares, assuming no redemption, amounting to 20.11% of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Closing. Given the differential in the purchase price that FST officers and directors paid for the FST Shares

59

they hold (i.e., less than approximately NTD 306.20 per share) and the price of the Public Shares and the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares the FST officers and directors will receive upon exchange of the FST Shares, the FST officers and directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if the Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment. See “Beneficial Ownership of CayCo Securities after Business Combination” on page 301. Furthermore, Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their SPAC Shares upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies. See “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — The Business Combination — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 42.

FST’s Reasons for Engaging in the Business Combination

In deciding to pursue the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement with SPAC as opposed to another type of corporate transaction, FST considered and evaluated a number of factors, including but not limited to, the advantages of the Business Combination over a traditional IPO, enhanced access to capital and liquidity for the Company Shareholders, the benefits of a relationship with SPAC and consideration of the relative benefits and detriments of alternative transactions. In particular, FST evaluated the conditions of the IPO market for companies with FST’s characteristics at the time of entering into the Business Combination Agreement and considered that the transaction with SPAC was likely to provide for greater speed of execution, an increased likelihood that the proposed Business Combination would be completed in light of the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, higher proceeds and the potential for less dilution of the Company Shareholders. FST also considered that, upon Closing, FST would become a public company and the shares of CayCo Ordinary Shares would trade on a U.S. national securities exchange which could provide CayCo with enhanced access to capital to facilitate its growth, as well as greater liquidity to the Company Shareholders. FST also believed SPAC’s management, business experience and access to transactional opportunities could benefit CayCo. Ultimately, FST concluded that the proposed Business Combination represented the best potential transaction for FST to execute its business strategies and create value for the Company Shareholders.

Comparison of Shareholder Right s

If the Business Combination is successfully completed, SPAC Shareholders and FST Shareholders will become CayCo Shareholders and their rights as shareholders will be governed by CayCo’s constitutional documents. Please see the section entitled “Comparison of Shareholder Rights” for more information.

Emerging Growth Company

CayCo is, and consequently, following the Business Combination, will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, post-Closing, CayCo will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find CayCo’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for CayCo’s securities and the prices of CayCo’s securities may be more volatile.

Post-Closing, CayCo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of its first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) in which CayCo has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which CayCo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the CayCo’s common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last Business Day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which CayCo has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully review and consider the following risk factors and the other information contained in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including the ﬁnancial statements and notes to the ﬁnancial statements included herein, in evaluating the Business Combination and the SPAC Shareholder Proposals to be voted on at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting. The risks discussed herein have been identiﬁed based on an evaluation of the historical risks faced by the Company and the SPAC and relate to current expectations as to future risks that may result from the Business Combination. Certain of the following risk factors apply to the business and operations of the Company and will also apply to the business and operations of CayCo following the completion of the Business Combination. The occurrence of one or more of the events or circumstances described in these risk factors, alone or in combination with other events or circumstances, may adversely affect the ability to complete or realize the anticipated beneﬁts of the Business Combination, and may have a material adverse effect on the business, cash ﬂows, ﬁnancial condition and results of operations of CayCo following the Business Combination. This could cause the trading price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares, the SPAC Units, the SPAC Warrants, or the CayCo Warrants to decline, perhaps signiﬁcantly, and you therefore may lose all or part of your investment. You should carefully consider the following risk factors in conjunction with the other information included in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including matters addressed in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” “Company Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “SPAC Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the ﬁnancial statements of the Company, the ﬁnancial statements of SPAC and notes to the ﬁnancial statements included herein. The risks discussed below are not exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by CayCo, SPAC and the Company which later may prove to be incorrect or incomplete. Investors are encouraged to perform their own investigation with respect to the business, ﬁnancial condition and prospects of the Company, SPAC and CayCo. Each of CayCo, SPAC and the Company may face additional risks and uncertainties that are not presently known to it, or that are currently deemed immaterial, which may also impair its business or ﬁnancial condition. The “Company” in this section refers to FST.

Risks Related to CayCo and the Company’s Business

A reduction in the number of rounds of golf played or in the number of golf participants could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

The Company generates a substantial portion of its revenues from the sale of golf-related products, including golf club shafts and golf accessories. The demand for golf-related products in general, and golf club shafts in particular is directly related to the number of golf participants and the number of rounds of golf being played by these participants. If golf participation decreases or the number of rounds of golf played decreases, sales of the Company’s products may be adversely affected, which, in turn, could have material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

In addition, the demand for golf products is also driven by the visibility and popularity of golf through various media, including magazines, cable channels and television coverage of golf tournaments and attendance at golf events. The Company relies on the exposure of its products through advertising, other media coverage, or being used in golf tournaments. Any significant reduction in media coverage of, or attendance at, golf tournaments and events (whether as a result of COVID-19-related restrictions or otherwise) or any significant reduction in the popularity of golf magazines or golf television channels, could reduce the visibility of the Company’s brand and could adversely affect the Company’s sales, which, in turn, could have material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

The Company may have limited opportunities for future growth in sales of golf club shafts.

In order for the Company to significantly grow its sales of golf club shafts, the Company must either increase its share of the market for golf club shafts, enter into new geographic regions, or the overall market for golf products must grow. The golf industry is very competitive. As such, gaining incremental market share quickly or at all is difficult. Therefore, opportunities for additional market share may be limited given the challenging competitive nature of the golf industry, and the overall dollar volume of worldwide sales of golf club shafts may not grow or may decline.

Unfavorable economic conditions, including as a result of lingering COVID-19 effects, inflation, geopolitical events or otherwise, could have a negative impact on consumer discretionary spending and therefore negatively impact the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company’s golf-related products are recreational in nature and are therefore discretionary purchases for consumers. Consumers are generally more willing to make discretionary purchases of golf products and to spend on leisure and out-of-home entertainment during favorable economic conditions and when consumers are feeling confident and prosperous. The demand for these entertainment and recreational activities is highly sensitive to downturns in the economy and the corresponding impact on discretionary consumer spending. Any actual or perceived deterioration or weakness in general, regional or local economic conditions, unemployment levels, the job or housing markets, consumer debt levels or consumer confidence, as well as other adverse economic or market conditions due to lingering COVID-19 effects, inflation, geopolitical events including military or trade conflicts or otherwise may lead to customers having less discretionary income to spend on entertainment and recreational activities, and may result in significant fluctuations and spending patterns year to year. Discretionary spending is also affected by many other factors, including general business conditions, interest rates, the availability of consumer credit, taxes and consumer confidence in future economic conditions. Purchases of the Company’s products and services could decline during periods when disposable income is lower, or during periods of actual or perceived unfavorable economic conditions. A significant or prolonged decline in general economic conditions or uncertainties regarding future economic prospects that adversely affect consumer discretionary spending, whether in the United States, Japan or other markets, could result in reduced sales of the Company’s products, which in turn would have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

A severe or prolonged economic downturn could adversely affect the Company’s customers’ financial condition, their levels of business activity and their ability to pay trade obligations.

The Company primarily sells its golf products to retailers directly and through wholly-owned foreign subsidiaries, and to foreign distributors. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral from these customers. However, a severe or prolonged downturn in the general economy could adversely affect the retail market, which would in turn negatively impact the liquidity and cash flows of the Company’s customers, including the ability of such customers to obtain credit to finance purchases of the Company’s products and to pay their trade obligations. A failure by the Company’s customers to pay on a timely basis a significant portion of outstanding account receivable balances would adversely impact the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The Company faces intense competition in the golf club shaft market, and if it is unable to compete effectively, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition and growth prospects.

The golf club shaft business is highly competitive, and is served by a number of well-established and well-financed companies, which generally entered into the market earlier than the Company, each with a competitive brand. The Company encounters competition from U.S. and other international companies in price, delivery, performance, product innovation, and product recognition and quality. These competitors may be better able to withstand a change in conditions within the golf club shafts, a change in the prices of raw materials or a change in the economy as a whole.

With respect to golf club shaft sales, new product introductions, price reductions, consignment sales, extended payment terms, “closeouts,” including closeouts of products that were recently commercially successful, and significant tour and advertising spending by competitors continue to generate intense market competition. Successful marketing activities, discounted pricing, consignment sales, extended payment terms or new product introductions by competitors could negatively impact the Company’s future sales.

The Company believes that to be competitive, it also needs to continue to incur significant expenses in tour, advertising and promotional support. In addition, the Company has invested, and may continue to invest in the future, significant capital into upgrades to its manufacturing facilities to remain on the forefront of technological and competitive innovation. The Company may also in the future acquire other business operating in the golf club shaft industry to increase its market share, brand visibility and pricing power. However, unless there is a material change in competitive conditions, these competitive pressures and increased costs will continue to adversely affect the profitability of the Company’s golf equipment business.

If the Company is unable to successfully manage the frequent introduction of new products that satisfy changing consumer preferences, it could significantly and adversely impact its financial performance and prospects for future growth.

The Company’s golf club shaft products, like those of its competitors, generally have life cycles of two years to three years, with sales occurring at a much higher rate in the first year than in the second. Factors driving these short product life cycles include the rapid introduction of competitive products and consumer demands for the latest technology. In this marketplace, a substantial portion of the Company’s annual revenues is generated each year by products that are in their first year of their product life cycle.

These marketplace conditions raise a number of issues that the Company must successfully manage. For example, the Company must properly anticipate consumer preferences and design products that meet those preferences while also complying with significant restrictions imposed on golf equipment by rules governing the game of golf, such as the Rules of Golf published by the United States Golf Association or its new products will not achieve sufficient market success to compensate for the usual decline in sales experienced by products already in the market. Second, the Company’s research and development and supply chain groups face constant pressures to design, develop, source and supply new products that perform better than their predecessors many of which incorporate new or otherwise untested technology, suppliers or inputs. Third, for new products to generate equivalent or greater revenues than their predecessors, they must either maintain the same or higher sales levels with the same or higher pricing, or exceed the performance of their predecessors in one or both of those areas. Fourth, the relatively short window of opportunity for launching and selling new products requires great precision in forecasting demand and assuring that supplies are ready and delivered during the critical selling periods. Finally, the rapid changeover in products creates a need to monitor and manage the closeout of older products both at retail and in the Company’s own inventory. Should the Company not be able to successfully manage the frequent introduction of new products that satisfy consumer demand, the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be significantly adversely affected.

Loss of a key customer, or a reduction in the purchase level of a key customer, could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

The Company sell a majority of its golf club shafts to a relatively limited number of major golf club brands and sport goods distributors. Even though the Company has long standing relationships with its major customers, purchases are on a purchase order basis and such relationships are terminable at the customer’s option. Because the Company depends on a relatively limited number of major customers, its business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected by the loss of any of these customers, a reduction in the purchasing levels of these customers or an adverse change in the terms of the commercial arrangements with these customers.

Loss of a key supplier or lack of product availability from suppliers could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operation and financial condition.

The Company outsources the production of its graphite shafts to one external manufacturer and depends on a selected number of suppliers for raw materials in the production of its steel shafts. Its relationships with these key suppliers are longstanding but are terminable by either party. The loss of key supplier, or a substantial decrease in the availability of their products, could put the Company at a competitive disadvantage and have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations. Supply interruptions could arise from raw material shortages, inadequate manufacturing capacity or utilization to meet demand, financial difficulties, tariffs and other regulations affecting international trade, labor disputes, weather conditions affecting suppliers’ production, transportation disruptions or other reasons beyond the Company’s control.

If the Company fails to execute its growth strategy or manage growth effectively, its business, financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected.

The expected continued growth and expansion of the Company’s business and execution of its growth strategy may place a significant strain on management, business operations, financial condition and infrastructure and corporate culture. With continued growth, the Company’s information technology systems and its internal control over financial reporting and procedures may not be adequate to support its operations and may allow data security incidents

65

Table of Contents

that may interrupt business operations and allow third parties to obtain unauthorized access to business information or misappropriate funds. The Company may also face risks to the extent such third parties infiltrate the information technology infrastructure of its contractors.

To manage growth in operations and personnel and execute its growth strategy, the Company will need to continue to improve its operational, financial and management controls and reporting systems and procedures. In addition, the Company may face difficulties as it expands its operations into new markets in which it has limited or no prior experience. Failure to manage growth effectively could result in difficulty or delays in attracting new customers, declines in quality or customer satisfaction, increases in costs, difficulties in introducing new products and services or enhancing existing products and services, loss of customers, information security vulnerabilities or other operational difficulties, any of which could adversely affect the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Company’s strategy of using acquisitions and dispositions to position its businesses may not always be successful, which may have a material adverse impact on results of operation, financial condition and profitability of the Company.

The Company may in the future use acquisitions and dispositions in an effort to strategically position its businesses in the golf club shaft business and improve its ability to compete. The Company plans to do this by acquiring businesses complementary to existing strengths and continually evaluating the performance and strategic fit of its existing business units. The Company considers acquisitions, joint ventures and other business combination opportunities. From time-to-time, management may hold discussions with management of other companies to explore such opportunities. As a result, the relative makeup of the businesses comprising the Company may be subject to change. Acquisitions, joint ventures and other business combinations involve various inherent risks, such as: assessing accurately the value, strengths, weaknesses, contingent and other liabilities and potential profitability of acquisition or other transaction candidates; the potential loss of key personnel of an acquired business; significant transaction costs that were not identified during due diligence; the Company’s ability to achieve identified financial and operating synergies anticipated to result from an acquisition or other transaction; impairments of goodwill; and unanticipated changes in business and economic conditions affecting an acquisition or other transaction. The amount and type of consideration and deal charges paid could have an adverse or dilutive effect on the Company’s profitability and other financial results, despite having anticipated long-term economic benefit to the Company. If acquisition opportunities are not available, or if one or more acquisitions are not successfully integrated into our operations, this could have a material adverse impact on our competitive positioning, financial results and profitability.

The Company may need new or additional financing in the future to expand its business, and its inability to obtain capital on satisfactory terms or at all may have an adverse impact on its operations and its financial results.

If the Company is unable to access capital on satisfactory terms and conditions, it may not be able to expand its business, whether through upgrading its manufacturing facility or through acquisitions. Its ability to obtain new or additional financing will depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company may not be able to obtain new or additional financing because it may have substantial debt, its current receivable and inventory balances do not support additional debt availability or because the Company may not have sufficient cash flows to service or repay its existing or future debt. In addition, depending on market conditions and the Company’s financial performance, equity financing may not be available on satisfactory terms or at all. If the Company is unable to access capital on satisfactory terms and conditions, this could have an adverse impact on its operations and its financial results.

Failure to effectively expand the Company’s sales and marketing capabilities could harm its ability to increase its customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of its solutions.

The Company’s ability to grow its customer base, achieve broader market acceptance, grow revenue, and achieve and sustain profitability will depend, to a significant extent, on the Company’s ability to effectively expand its sales and marketing operations and activities. The Company relies on its business development, sales and marketing teams to obtain new original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Company plans to continue to expand in these functional areas but it may not be able to recruit and hire a sufficient number of competent personnel with requisite skills, technical expertise and experience, which may adversely affect The Company’s ability to expand its sales capabilities. The hiring process can be costly and time-consuming, and new employees may require significant training and time before they

66

Table of Contents

achieve full productivity. Recent hires and planned hires may not become as productive as quickly as anticipated, and the Company may be unable to hire or retain sufficient numbers of qualified individuals. The Company’s ability to achieve significant revenue growth in the future will depend, in large part, on its success in recruiting, training, incentivizing and retaining a sufficient number of qualified personnel attaining desired productivity levels within a reasonable time. The Company business will be harmed if investment in personnel related to business development and related company activities does not generate a significant increase in revenue.

If the Company fails to expand effectively into new markets, its revenues and business may be negatively affected.

New initiatives are inherently risky, as each involves unproven business strategies and new product offerings with which the Company has limited or no prior development or operating experience. Developing the Company’s products is expensive, and the investment in product development may involve a long or unmaterialized payback cycle. Difficulties in any of its new product development efforts could adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, even if the Company’s products have achieved successful commercialization, the Company could experience increased warranty claims, reputational damage or other adverse effects, which could be material.

The Company’s investment of resources to develop new product offerings may either be insufficient or may result in expenses that are excessive as compared to revenue produced from these new product offerings. Even if the Company is able to keep pace with changes in technology and develop new products and services, its research and development expenses could increase, its gross margins could be adversely affected and its prior products could become obsolete more quickly than expected.

If the Company is unable to devote adequate resources to develop products or cannot otherwise successfully develop products or services that meet customer requirements on a timely basis or that remain competitive with technological alternatives, its products and services could lose market share, its revenue could decline, it may experience higher operating losses, and its business and prospects could be adversely affected. Further, the Company’s development efforts with respect to these initiatives could distract management from current operations and could divert capital and other resources from its existing business. If the Company does not realize the expected benefits of its investments, its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects, could be materially and adversely affected.

The Company has experienced operating losses and there is no guarantee that the Company can regain and maintain profitability.

In the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded approximately US$2.2 million in net losses and approximately US$11.2 million negative cash flow from operating activities. The financial performance of the Company is the result of numerous factors, including:

• the weaker demands from our customers for their spending on golf under the impact of slowdown in global economy; and

• with the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, golf is no longer the only outdoor sports option after the pandemic.

Although the Company’s current business focus is on restoring profitable operations, certain of its costs and expenses may continue to remain elevated in future periods, which could materially and adversely affect its future operating results if the revenue does not increase. The Company may also face increased regulatory compliance costs associated with growth, the launch of new products, and being a public company. The Company’s efforts to grow its business and offer new products have been and may continue to be more costly than it expects, the Company may not be able to increase its revenue enough to offset the increased operating expenses and the investments the Company need to make in its business, and new products may not succeed. The Company may continue to incur significant losses in the future for several reasons, including as a result of the other risks described herein, and unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays, and other presently unknown events or risks. If the Company continue to be unable to achieve and maintain consistent profitability, this would materially and adversely affect the value of its business and the Company’s securities.

Table of Contents

The Company may not be able to maintain its engineering, technological and manufacturing expertise.

The golf club shafts industry is characterized by changing technology and evolving process development. The continued success of the Company’s business will depend upon its ability to:

• hire, retain and expand our pool of qualified engineering and technical personnel;

• maintain technological leadership in our industry;

• successfully anticipate or respond to changes in manufacturing processes in a cost-effective and timely manner; and

• successfully anticipate or respond to changes in cost to serve in a cost-effective and timely manner

The Company cannot be certain that its will develop the capabilities required by the market in the future. The emergence of new technologies, industry standards or customer requirements may render the Company’s equipment, inventory or processes obsolete or non-competitive. The Company may have to acquire new technologies and equipment to remain competitive. The acquisition and implementation of new technologies and equipment may require us to incur significant expense and capital investment, which could reduce its margins and affect our operating results. Failure to anticipate and adapt to customers’ changing preferences and requirements or to hire and retain a sufficient number of engineers and maintain engineering, technological and manufacturing expertise may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business.

CayCo’s forecasts and projections are based upon assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by its management. If these assumptions, analyses or estimates prove to be incorrect or inaccurate, CayCo’s actual operating results may differ materially and adversely from those forecasted or projected.

CayCo’s forecasts and projections are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions, analyses and internal estimates developed by its management, any or all of which may not prove to be correct or accurate, including, but not limited to, successfully sourcing suitable business combination opportunities in the golf club shaft industry, and the realization of any anticipated synergies or benefits from such business combination. Realization of the results forecasted will depend on the successful implementation of CayCo’s proposed business plan, and policies and procedures consistent with the assumptions. Future results will also be affected by events and circumstances beyond CayCo’s control, for example, the competitive environment, its executive team, rapid technological change, economic and other conditions in the markets in which CayCo operates or seeks to enter, governmental regulation and, uncertainties inherent in product development and testing, CayCo’s future financing needs and CayCo’s ability to grow and to manage growth effectively. In particular, CayCo’s forecasts and projections include forecasts and estimates relating to the expected size and growth of the markets in which CayCo operates or seeks to enter. CayCo’s forecasts and projections also assume that it is able to perform its obligations under its commercial contracts. For the reasons described above, it is likely that the actual results of CayCo’s operations will be different from the results forecasted and those differences may be material and adverse.

The projected financial information appearing elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement has been prepared by the management of the Company and reflects estimates of future performance as of the date such projected financial information was prepared. The project financial information has not been certified or examined by an accountant. CayCo’s projected results depend on the successful implementation of management’s growth strategies and are based on assumptions and events over which CayCo has only partial or no control. The assumptions underlying such projected information require the exercise of judgment and may not occur, and the projections are subject to uncertainty due to the effects of economic, business, competitive, regulatory, legislative, and political or other changes. There can be no assurance that CayCo’s financial condition, including its cash flows or results of operations, will be consistent with those set forth in such projected financial results, which could have an adverse impact on the market price of CayCo Ordinary Shares or the financial position of the Post-Closing Company. CayCo does not have any duty to update the financial projections included in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

CayCo’s financial results may vary significantly from period to period due to fluctuations in its operating costs or expenses and other foreseeable or unforeseeable factors.

CayCo expects its period-to-period financial results to vary based on its operating costs, which CayCo anticipates will fluctuate as the pace at which it continues to design, develop and manufacture new products and increases production capacity by expanding its current manufacturing facilities and adding future facilities, may not

68

Table of Contents

be consistent or linear between periods. Additionally, CayCo’s revenues from period to period may fluctuate as it introduces existing products to new markets for the first time and as CayCo develops and introduces new products. The Post-Closing Company’s financial results may not meet expectations of equity research analysts, ratings agencies or investors, who may be focused only on short-term quarterly financial results. If this occurs, the trading price of CayCo Ordinary Shares could fall substantially, either suddenly or over time, and CayCo could face costly lawsuits, including securities class action suits.

CayCo may experience delays in launching and ramping the production of its products and features, or CayCo may be unable to control its manufacturing costs. FST has previously experienced and may in the future experience launch and production ramp delays for new products and features. In addition, CayCo may introduce in the future new or unique manufacturing processes and design features for its products. There is no guarantee that CayCo will be able to successfully and timely introduce and scale such processes or features.

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

The Company generally sells its products to its customers in U.S. dollars, and incurs manufacturing costs, labor costs, research expenses, and other expenses in NTD. As a result, fluctuations in the exchange rate among the U.S. dollar and New Taiwan Dollar will affect the relative purchase power, in NTD terms, of the Company’s U.S. dollar assets.

A fluctuation in the value of NTD relative to the U.S. dollar could reduce the Company’s profits from operations and the translated value of net assets when reported in U.S. dollars in the Company’s financial statements. This change in value could negatively impact the Company’s business, financial condition, or results of operations as reported in U.S. dollars. In the event that the Company decides to convert its NTD into U.S. dollars to make payments for dividends on CayCo Ordinary Shares or for other business purposes, appreciation of the U.S. dollar against the NTD will harm the U.S. dollar amount available to the Company. In addition, fluctuations in currencies relative to the periods in which the earnings are generated may make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of our reported results of operations.

It is difficult to predict how market forces or the Taiwanese or U.S. government policy may impact the exchange rate among the U.S. dollar and NTD in the future. Any significant appreciation or depreciation of NTD may materially and adversely affect our revenues, earnings and financial position, and the value of, and any dividends payable on, CayCo Ordinary Shares in U.S. dollars.

Very limited hedging options are available to reduce the Company’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations. To date, the Company has not entered into any hedging transactions to reduce its exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. While the Company may decide to enter into hedging transactions in the future, the availability and effectiveness of these hedges may be limited and the Company may not be able to hedge our exposure adequately. As a result, fluctuations in exchange rates may have a material adverse effect on the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

The Company is exposed to inventory risks.

In line with the general practice in manufacturing businesses, the Company maintains five to six months of inventory of its products to ensure sufficient supplies to meet customer orders. In recent years, the life cycle of golf clubs and golf shafts has shortened considerably due to increasing competition among manufacturers. The Company is often required to anticipate which product design will generate customer demand in advance before the retail customers or PGA players indicating a need for a particular design. The resources devoted to product development and sales and marketing may not generate material revenue for the Company, and the Company has in the past, and may in the future, to write off excess and obsolete inventory if the Company produces a product in excess of forecasted demand which does not materialize. If the Company incurs significant expenses and investments in inventory in the future that it is not able to recover through sales, its operating results could be adversely affected.

CayCo’s estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate.

From time to time, CayCo makes statements with estimates of the addressable market for its solutions and the global optical market in general. Market opportunity estimates and growth forecasts, whether obtained from third-party sources or developed internally, are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate. This is especially so at the present time due to the uncertain and rapidly changing

69

Table of Contents

projections of the severity, magnitude and duration of the current COVID-19 pandemic. The estimates and forecasts relating to the size and expected growth of the target market, market demand and adoption, capacity to address this demand and pricing may also prove to be inaccurate. In particular, estimates regarding the current and projected market opportunity are difficult to predict. The estimated addressable market may not materialize for many years, if ever, and even if the markets meet the size estimates and growth forecasts, CayCo’s business could fail to grow at similar rates.

Concentration of ownership among CayCo’s existing executive officers, directors and their affiliates may prevent new investors from influencing significant corporate decisions.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo’s directors, executive officers and their affiliates as a group will beneficially own approximately 25.73% of the outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming no redemption). As a result, these shareholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, any amendment of the memorandum and articles of association and approval of significant corporate transactions. This control could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in management and will make the approval of certain transactions difficult or impossible without the support of these shareholder.

The Company’s insurance coverage strategy may not be adequate to protect it from all business risks.

The Company may be subject, in the ordinary course of business, to losses resulting from products liability, accidents, acts of God and other claims against the Company, for which it may have no insurance coverage. The policies that the Company does have may include significant deductibles or self-insured retentions, policy limitations and exclusions, and the Company cannot be certain that its insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover all future losses or claims against it. A loss that is uninsured or which exceeds policy limits may require the Company to pay substantial amounts, which may harm its financial condition and results of operations.

If the Company fails to retain its existing senior management team or attract qualified new personnel, such failure could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s business requires disciplined execution at all levels of its organization. This execution requires an experienced and talented management team. If the Company were to lose the benefit of the experience, efforts and abilities of key executive personnel, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Competition for skilled and experienced management is intense, and the Company may not be successful in attracting and retaining new qualified personnel required to grow and operate the Company’s business profitably.

Investor conﬁdence and share value may be adversely impacted if CayCo concludes that the Company’s internal control over ﬁnancial reporting is not effective.

Effective internal controls are necessary for CayCo to provide reliable ﬁnancial reports and to help prevent fraud. Although CayCo undertakes a number of procedures in order to help ensure the reliability of its ﬁnancial reports, including those imposed on it under U.S. securities laws, CayCo cannot be certain that such measures will ensure that it will maintain adequate control over ﬁnancial processes and reporting. Failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difﬁculties encountered in their implementation, could harm CayCo’s results of operations or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations. If CayCo discovers a material weakness, the disclosure of that fact, even if quickly remedied, could reduce investor conﬁdence in its consolidated ﬁnancial statements and effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls, which ultimately could negatively impact the market price of the Company’s common shares.

CayCo will incur signiﬁcant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, ﬁnancial condition and results of operations.

CayCo will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that the Company did not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including the requirements of Section 404 thereof, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, PCAOB and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies.

70

Table of Contents

Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements require CayCo to carry out activities CayCo has not done previously. In addition, expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identiﬁed (for example, if the auditors identify a signiﬁcant deﬁciency or material weaknesses in the internal control over ﬁnancial reporting), CayCo could incur additional costs to rectify those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect its reputation or investor perceptions. In addition, CayCo will purchase director and ofﬁcer liability insurance, which has substantial additional premiums. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations increase legal and ﬁnancial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. Advocacy efforts by shareholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.

Management estimates are subject to uncertainty.

In preparing consolidated ﬁnancial statements in conformity with GAAP, estimates and assumptions are used by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses recognized during the periods presented and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date of the ﬁnancial statements. These estimates and assumptions must be made because certain information that is used in the preparation of such ﬁnancial statements is dependent on future events, cannot be calculated with a high degree of precision from data available, or is not capable of being readily calculated based on generally accepted methodologies. In some cases, these estimates are particularly difﬁcult to determine and the Company must exercise signiﬁcant judgment. Estimates may be used in management’s assessment of items such as fair values, income taxes, stock-based compensation and asset retirement obligations. Actual results for all estimates could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used by the Company, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, ﬁnancial condition, results of operations, cash ﬂows and future prospects.

Risks Related to Company’s Technology and Intellectual Property

Any legal proceedings or claims against the Company could be costly and time-consuming to defend and could harm its reputation regardless of the outcome.

The Company is and/or may in the future become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including intellectual property, data privacy, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause the Company to incur significant expenses or liability, or require the Company to change its business practices. In addition, the expense of litigation and the timing of this expense from period to period are difficult to estimate, subject to change, and could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s properties may be subject to actions and opposition by non-governmental agencies.

The Company’s manufacturing and R&D facilities could be subject to physical sabotage or public opposition. Such public opposition could expose the Company to the risk of higher costs, delays or even project cancellations. The Company may not be able to satisfy the concerns of special interest groups and non-governmental organizations and attempting to address such concerns may require the Company to incur significant and unanticipated capital and operating expenditures. If any of the Company’s manufacturing and R&D facilities are the subject of physical sabotage or public opposition, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The Company does not have insurance to protect against such risks.

Any failure, inadequacy, interruption, security failure or breach of the Company’s information technology systems, whether owned by the Company or outsourced or managed by third parties, could harm the Company’s ability to effectively operate its business and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company relies heavily on its information technology systems for many functions across its operations, including managing the Company’s supply chain and inventory, processing customer transactions in the Company’s stores, the Company’s financial accounting and reporting, compensating the Company’s employees and operating the Company’s websites. The Company’s ability to effectively manage its business and coordinate the sourcing, distribution

71

Table of Contents

and sale of its products depends significantly on the reliability and capacity of these systems. Such systems are subject to damage or interruption from power outages or damages, telecommunications problems, data corruption, software errors, network failures, security breaches, acts of war or terrorist attacks, fire, flood and natural disasters. The Company’s servers could be affected by physical or electronic break-ins, and computer viruses or similar disruptions may occur. A system outage may also cause the loss of important data. The Company’s existing safety systems, data backup, access protection, user management and information technology emergency planning may not be sufficient to prevent data loss or long-term network outages.

In addition, the Company may have to upgrade its existing information technology systems from time to time in order for such systems to withstand the increasing needs of its expanding business. The Company relies on certain hardware, telecommunications and software vendors to maintain and periodically upgrade many of these systems so that it can continue to support the Company’s business. Costs and potential problems and interruptions associated with the implementation of new or upgraded systems and technology or with maintenance or adequate support of existing systems could disrupt or reduce the efficiency of the Company’s operations. The Company also depends on its information technology staff. If the Company cannot meet its staffing needs in this area, it may not be able to fulfill its technology initiatives while continuing to provide maintenance on existing systems.

The Company could be required to make significant capital expenditures to remediate any such failure, malfunction or breach with its information technology systems. Further, additional investment needed to upgrade and expand its information technology infrastructure would require significant investment of additional resources and capital, which may not always be available or available on favorable terms. Any material disruption or slowdown of the Company’s systems, including those caused by its failure to successfully upgrade our systems, and its inability to convert to alternate systems in an efficient and timely manner could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Doing Business in Taiwan

CayCo faces substantial political risks associated with doing business in Taiwan, particularly due to the relationship between Taiwan and the PRC.

CayCo’s principal executive offices and substantially all of its assets are located in Taiwan, and substantially all of its revenues are derived from its operations in Taiwan. Accordingly, CayCo’s business, financial condition and results of operations and the market price of CayCo Ordinary Shares may be affected by changes in Taiwan governmental policies, taxation, inflation or interest rates and by social instability and diplomatic and social developments in or affecting Taiwan which are outside of CayCo’s control. Taiwan has a unique international political status. The PRC government asserts sovereignty over the PRC and Taiwan and does not recognize the legitimacy of the government of Taiwan. The PRC government has indicated that it may use military force to gain control over Taiwan if Taiwan declares independence or if Taiwan refuses to accept the PRC’s stated “One China” policy. In addition, on March 14, 2005, the National People’s Congress of the PRC passed what is widely referred to as the “anti-secession” law, a law authorizing the PRC military to respond to efforts by Taiwan to seek formal independence. An increase in tensions between Taiwan and the PRC and the possibility of instability and uncertainty could adversely affect the prices of CayCo’s Securities. Relations between Taiwan and the PRC and other factors affecting Taiwan’s political environment could affect CayCo’s business.

Any lack of requisite approvals, licenses, permits or filings or failure to comply with any requirements of Taiwan laws, regulations and policies may materially and adversely affect CayCo’s daily operations.

In accordance with the relevant Taiwan laws and regulations, FST, as the wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo after the consummation of the Business Combination is required to maintain various approvals, licenses, permits and filings to operate its business, including but not limited to business registration, factory registration, tax registration and those with respect to environment protection. The obtaining of these approvals, licenses, permits and filings are subject to satisfactory compliance with, among other things, the applicable laws and regulations. If FST is unable to obtain any of such licenses and permits or extend or renew any of its current licenses or permits upon their expirations, or if FST is required to incur significant additional costs to obtain or renew these licenses, permits and approvals, CayCo’s daily operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Table of Contents

FST is subject to restrictions on paying dividend or making other payments to CayCo, which may restrict CayCo’s ability to satisfy its liquidity requirements.

As an exempted company with limited liability incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands structured as a holding company, after the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo may need dividends and other distributions on equity from FST to satisfy its liquidity requirements. Current Taiwan regulations permit FST to pay dividends to their respective shareholders only out of their after-tax accumulated profits, if any, which shall first make up previous losses and set aside at least 10% of its accumulated profits each year as statutory reserve. These reserves are not distributable as cash dividends. Furthermore, if FST incurs debt on its own behalf in the future, the instruments governing the debt may restrict their ability to pay dividends or make other payments to CayCo. Any limitation on the ability of FST to distribute dividends or to make payments to CayCo may restrict CayCo’s ability to satisfy its liquidity requirements. In addition, the dividend payments by FST to CayCo shall be subject to the withholding tax of 21%.

FST is subject to foreign exchange control imposed by Taiwan authorities, which may affect the paying dividends, repatriating the interest or making other payments to CayCo.

Currently Taiwan regulates only those foreign exchange transactions that involve the conversion of the New Taiwan Dollar into foreign currencies. Pursuant to the relevant provisions of Taiwan Foreign Exchange Control Act, foreign exchange transactions of a value of NTD 500,000 or more shall be declared to the Central Bank of Taiwan (“Taiwan CBC”). Further, for a remittance by a company as follows, relevant testimonials shall be submitted and such remittance shall be subject to the reporting to and/or approval of the Taiwan CBC: (i) a single remittance of an amount of U.S.$1 million or more; or (ii) annual accumulated settlement amount of foreign exchange purchased or sold has exceeded U.S.$50 million. Nevertheless, Taiwan government may impose further foreign exchange restrictions in certain emergency situations, where Taiwan government experiences extreme difficulty in stabilizing the balance of payments or where there are substantial disturbances in the financial and capital markets in Taiwan. If the dividend payments or other payments by FST to CayCo involves the currency conversion from New Taiwan Dollar to U.S. Dollar, such conversion would be subject to the foregoing foreign exchange control imposed by Taiwan authority. Under certain circumstances as prescribed by the relevant Taiwan regulations, documentary evidence of such foreign exchange transactions shall be presented and such transactions shall be conducted at designated foreign exchange banks in Taiwan which have the licenses to carry out foreign exchange business. However, there is no assurance that these foreign exchange regulations will remain unchanged in the future. If the relevant Taiwan regulations change in the future and any required approval is not obtained, FST’s ability to make payments to CayCo in foreign currency may be restricted, and CayCo’s capital expenditure plans, business, operating results and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Foreign exchange transactions for non-trade-related purposes or exceeding the applicable annual quota threshold would require special approval from Taiwan CBC, which will be at the discretion of and considered by Taiwan CBC on a case-by-case basis. Additionally, CayCo may provide loans to FST. If the term of the loan provided by CayCo to FST is one year or more, CayCo shall obtain prior approval from the competent authorities before the loan can be remitted into Taiwan and FST shall file a declaration of foreign debt to the competent authority when the loan is remitted into Taiwan. CayCo cannot assure you that the Taiwan government will not intervene in such transactions or impose restrictions on the ability of CayCo and its subsidiaries to transfer cash.

If FST expands into the PRC market, FST may be subject to Taiwan regulations on investment or technical cooperation in the PRC.

FST currently focuses on the U.S., Japan and Taiwan markets and may consider expanding its businesses in the PRC market in the near future. Pursuant to the Taiwan Permission Regulations for Investment or Technical Cooperation in the PRC and the Review Principles for Investments or Technical Cooperation in the PRC (collectively, “Permission Regulatio ns”), an investment or technical cooperation made by a Taiwanese investor in the PRC is subject to the restrictions thereunder and requires the approval by the competent Taiwan authority, Taiwan DIR. The restrictions under the Permission Regulations include a negative list in which investment or technical cooperation is prohibited as well as the maximum investment amount. FST does not believe its current operations in the PRC is restricted by the negative list. Furthermore, depending on the amount invested in the PRC, CayCo may need to obtain approval from the Taiwan DIR in order to make investments in the PRC or to grant licenses to PRC entities. The Taiwan DIR may at its discretion reject CayCo’s application. If the Taiwan DIR prevents CayCo from making investment in the PRC or granting licenses to PRC entities, CayCo may not be able to expand its business in the PRC.

Table of Contents

Taiwanese investors holding more than 10% of CayCo Ordinary Shares will be subject to Taiwan regulations on investment or technical cooperation in the PRC for its investment or technical cooperation in the PRC.

Under the Permission Regulations, for an investment made by a Taiwanese individual or entity (“Taiwanese Investor”) in a “third region” company which conducts the investments or technical cooperation in the PRC defined therein and such Taiwanese Investor (i) acts as director, supervisor, manager or equivalent position or (ii) has a shareholding or capital contribution of more than 10% in such third region company, the investment in such a third region company would also be deemed a defined investment in the PRC and therefore be subject to the Permission Regulations.

Therefore, for CayCo’s future investment or technical cooperation in the PRC, CayCo’s Taiwanese shareholders holding more than10% of CayCo Ordinary Shares or acting as director, supervisor, manager or equivalent position of CayCo will need to apply for the foreign investment approval with the competent Taiwan authority, the Taiwan DIR in accordance with the Permission Regulations. There are restrictions on the investment or technical cooperation with the PRC, including, without limitation, the annual investment amount in the PRC shall be capped at U.S.$5 million per year for Taiwan individuals or NTD 80 million or 60% of the higher of its stand-along net worth or consolidated net worth, whichever is higher, for a Taiwan small-medium enterprise. Your indirect investment in the PRC via CayCo under the Permission Regulations will be calculated on the portion of your shareholding in CayCo. If your aggregate investments in the PRC exceed the annual ceiling amount, the Taiwan DIR will reject your application for the exceeding investment in the PRC. If a Taiwanese Investor fails to obtain applicable approvals from the Taiwan DIR in respect of its investment in the PRC, an administrative fine ranging from NTD 50 thousand to 25 million and imprisonment may be imposed.

Risks Related to Chenghe and the Business Combination

Chenghe’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that express substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.” Chenghe may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.

As of June 30, 2024, Chenghe had no cash on hand and working capital deficit of $3,605,371. Chenghe has incurred and expects to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its initial business combination. Chenghe cannot assure you that its plan to raise capital or to consummate an initial business combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about Chenghe’ ability to continue as a going concern. Chenghe’ financial statements contained in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement do not include any adjustments that might be necessary, should Chenghe be unable to continue as a going concern.

If Chenghe is required to seek additional capital, it will need to borrow funds from its Sponsors, directors, officers or other third parties, or it may be forced to liquidate. None of such persons is under any obligations to advance funds to Chenghe in such circumstances. In addition, any such advances would be repaid only from the funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released upon completion of the Business Combination. If Chenghe does not have sufficient funds available to consummate the Business Combination, it will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. Consequently, SPAC Public Shareholders may receive less than $10.00 per share.

Any restatement of ﬁnancial results, or the time required to evaluate possible errors, may impact the market price for SPAC Units, and SPAC’s ability to complete a Business Combination on a timely basis.

There has been recent focus on historical accounting practices by special purpose acquisition companies. For example, on April 12, 2021, the SEC Staff issued a statement which resulted in a determination that the warrants and other related instruments issued by many special purpose acquisition companies, including the SPAC, should be classiﬁed as liabilities rather than equity. Further guidance from the SEC or industry-wide consensus could result in additional changes in the accounting treatment related to special purpose acquisition companies. Changes could result in the identiﬁcation of accounting errors in SPAC’s previously issued ﬁnancial statements, restatements of SPAC’s previously issued ﬁnancial statements, the ﬁling of notices that previously issued ﬁnancial statements may not be relied upon, and ﬁndings of material weaknesses and signiﬁcant deﬁciencies in internal controls over ﬁnancial reporting. In addition, changes in accounting treatment, or the time required to evaluate any such changes, could delay SPAC’s ability to consummate an initial business combination or otherwise have a material adverse effect on SPAC’s ability to consummate the Business Combination with the Company, or another business combination.

SPAC has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2024. If SPAC is unable to develop and maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, SPAC may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in SPAC and materially and adversely affect its business and operating results.

The management of SPAC is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The management of SPAC is likewise required, on a quarterly basis, to evaluate the effectiveness of its internal controls and to disclose any changes and material weaknesses identified through such evaluation of those internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of its annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by SPAC with the SEC on March 4, 2024, SPAC dismissed Marcum LLP as the independent registered accounting firm of SPAC on February 27, 2024. Marcum LLP advised SPAC and the management of SPAC concurred that, as of September 30, 2023, four material weaknesses in internal control over financing reporting existed. Such material weaknesses are considered not remedied as of June 30, 2024.

In light of these material weaknesses, SPAC has enhanced its processes to identify and appropriately apply applicable accounting requirements to better evaluate and understand the nuances of the complex accounting standards that apply to its financial statements including making greater use of third-party professionals with whom we consult regarding complex accounting applications. The elements of the SPAC’s remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and SPAC can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects. SPAC believes its efforts will enhance its controls relating to accounting for and disclosure of complex financial instruments in the proper period, but SPAC can offer no assurance that its controls will not require additional review and modification in the future as industry accounting practice may evolve over time.

If SPAC is unable to remediate its material weakness in a timely manner or its identify additional material weaknesses, SPAC may be unable to provide required financial information in a timely and reliable manner and SPAC may incorrectly report financial information. Likewise, if its financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, SPAC could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which its Class A Ordinary Shares is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities, which could result in a material adverse effect on its business. The existence of material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect the SPAC’s reputation or its investor perceptions, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of its stock.

SPAC can give no assurance that the measures it has taken and plan to take in the future will remediate the material weaknesses identified or that any additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results will not arise in the future due to a failure to implement and maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if SPAC is successful in strengthening its controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of its financial statements.

The Business Combination may be delayed or terminated if the Taiwan DIR fails to grant the relevant Taiwan DIR Approval timely or at all.

Since CayCo’s jurisdiction is outside of Taiwan, in order to consummate the FST Restructuring portion of the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo must apply to and receive approval for the FST Restructuring from the DIR, in accordance with Taiwan’s Statute for Investment by Overseas Chinese or Statute for Investment by Foreign Nationals. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, FST Parties shall each use their respective best efforts to obtain the Phase I DIR Approval as promptly and as legally feasible and reasonably practicable, and FST Parties shall as promptly as possible but in any event no later than thirty (30) Business Days after termination of FST’s Taiwan Public Company status, file or submit all necessary submissions, notifications, filings and applications in connection with the Phase II DIR Approval. The DIR has the discretion to delay or deny its approval of any application. In the event that DIR fails to grant the relevant Taiwan DIR Approval, Chenghe may choose to terminate the Business Combination. Thus, the Transactions contemplated under the Business Combination Agreement could be delayed or terminated if the DIR does not timely approve CayCo’s application.

75

Table of Contents

CayCo may fail to acquire sufficient shares of FST, and the Business Combination may be delayed or terminated.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of Chenghe to consummate, or cause to be consummated the Business Combination is subject to certain Closing Conditions, including CayCo acquiring at least 90% of the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares after the FST Restructuring Closing, which may be waived by Chenghe at its discretion. There is no assurance that CayCo will be able to acquire a sufficient number of Company Common Shares on commercially acceptable terms or at all. If CayCo fails to acquire a sufficient number of Company Common Shares to fulfill the closing condition in a timely manner or at all, Chenghe may choose to terminate the Business Combination or waive the compliance of such closing condition. Therefore, the Business Combination could be delayed or terminated if CayCo fails to acquire 90% of the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares.

Chenghe and FST may not be able to obtain Transaction Financing in connection with the Business Combination.

FST and Chenghe may not be able to obtain Transaction Financing on terms acceptable to FST and Chenghe, or at all. If FST and Chenghe do not obtain Transaction Financing, the parties may not be able to consummate the Business Combination or certain other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The terms of any Transaction Financing may be onerous to FST, and FST may not be able to obtain alternative financing on terms that are acceptable to it, or at all. The failure to secure Transaction Financing could impede the ability to consummate the Business Combination and/or harm the continued development or growth of FST following the Closing. None of FST’s officers, directors or shareholders is required to provide any financing to FST in connection with or after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Because FST is not conducting an underwritten offering of its securities, no underwriter has conducted due diligence of FST’s business, operations or financial condition or reviewed the disclosure in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Section 11 of the Securities Act (“Section 11”) imposes liability on parties, including underwriters, involved in a securities offering if the registration statement contains a materially false statement or material omission. To effectively establish a due diligence defense against a cause of action brought pursuant to Section 11, a defendant, including an underwriter, carries the burden of proof to demonstrate that such defendant, after reasonable investigation, believed that the statements in the registration statement were true and free of material omissions. In order to meet this burden of proof, underwriters in a registered offering typically conduct extensive due diligence of the registrant and vet the registrant’s disclosure. Such due diligence may include calls with the issuer’s management, review of material agreements, and background checks on key personnel, among other investigations.

Because FST intends to become publicly traded through a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company rather through an underwritten offering of its ordinary shares, no underwriter is involved in the Business Combination. As a result, no underwriter has conducted due diligence on FST in order to establish a due diligence defense with respect to the disclosure presented in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. If such investigation had occurred, certain information in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement may have been presented in a different manner or additional information may have been presented at the request of such underwriter.

In addition, going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve a book-building process as is the case in an underwritten public offering. In any underwritten public offering, the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepared to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a special purpose acquisition company transaction, the value of the company is established by means of negotiations between the target company, the special purpose acquisition company and, in some cases, “PIPE” investors who agree to purchase shares at the time of the business combination. The process of establishing the value of a company in a special purpose acquisition company business combination may be less effective than the bookbuilding process in an underwritten public offering and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the interim period. In addition, underwritten public offerings are frequently oversubscribed resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket following the underwritten public offering. There is no such book of demand built up in connection with special purpose acquisition company transaction and no underwriters with the responsibility of stabilizing the share price which may result in the share price being harder to sustain after the transaction.

The Business Combination remains subject to conditions that Chenghe cannot control, and if such conditions are not satisfied or otherwise waived, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Business Combination is subject to a number of Closing Conditions, including but not limited to (i) the accuracy of representations and warranties of Chenghe and FST in the Business Combination Agreement to various standards; (ii) material compliance with pre-closing covenants; (iii) no material adverse effect for FST; (iv) the Company Acquisition Percentage reaching at least 90%; (v) the consummation of the FST Restructuring; (vi) the delivery of customary closing certificates; (vii) the receipt of Taiwan DIR Approval and such approval being effective; (viii) the absence of a legal prohibition on consummating the transactions, (ix) approval by the SPAC’s and the Company’s shareholders, (x) approval of a listing application on the applicable Stock Exchange for newly issued shares, and (xi) SPAC having at least U.S.$5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining after redemption. There is no assurance that all Closing Conditions will be satisfied or waived or that the conditions will be satisfied or waived in the expected time frame. If the Closing Conditions are not satisfied (and are not waived, to the extent available), either FST or Chenghe may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, terminate the Business Combination Agreement. See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Termination.”

Chenghe may be subject to securities class action and derivative lawsuits, which could result in substantial costs and may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

Securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits are often brought against companies that have entered into agreements similar to the Business Combination Agreement or similar agreements. Even if the lawsuits are without merit, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages, which could have a negative impact on Chenghe’s liquidity and financial condition. Additionally, if a plaintiff is successful in obtaining an injunction prohibiting the consummation of the Business Combination, that injunction may delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed. Currently, Chenghe is not aware of any securities class action lawsuits or derivative lawsuits being filed in connection with the Business Combination.

If Chenghe is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination by the Extended Deadline, and it is unable, or elect not, to seek an extension of such time period, it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and Chenghe Board, liquidating and dissolving. In such event, Public Shareholders may only receive $10.20 per share (or less than such amount in certain circumstances).

If Chenghe is unable to complete the Business Combination or another business combination within the required time period and it is unable, or elect not, to seek another extension of such time period, it will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and 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 remaining shareholders and Chenghe Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. In such case, Public Shareholders may only receive $10.20 per share (or less than $10.20 per share in certain circumstances where a third party brings a claim against Chenghe that the Sponsors are unable to indemnify (as described herein)), and SPAC Warrants will expire worthless.

In addition, Chenghe cannot assure you that it will properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As a result, its shareholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more). Accordingly, Chenghe cannot assure you that third parties will not seek to recover from Chenghe Shareholders amounts owed to them by Chenghe.

If the Business Combination is not completed, potential target businesses may have leverage over Chenghe in negotiating a business combination; Chenghe’s ability to conduct due diligence on a business combination as it approaches the Extended Deadline may decrease; and Chenghe may have insufficient working capital to continue to pursue potential target businesses, each of which could undermine Chenghe’s ability to complete a business combination on terms that would produce value for its shareholders.

Any potential target business with which Chenghe enters into negotiations concerning an initial business combination will be aware that it must complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline, unless it amends Chenghe Articles to further extend the time to consummate an initial business combination. Consequently, if Chenghe is unable to complete this Business Combination, a potential target business may obtain leverage over it in negotiating an initial business combination. This risk will increase as Chenghe gets closer to the time frame described above. In addition, Chenghe may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into an initial business combination on terms that it would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation. Additionally, Chenghe may have insufficient working capital to continue the efforts to pursue a business combination. See “— Chenghe’s independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that express substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a “going concern.” Chenghe may not have sufficient funds to consummate the Business Combination.”

If third parties bring claims against Chenghe, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per-share redemption or liquidation amount received by Chenghe Shareholders may be less than $10.20 per share.

Chenghe’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against it. Although Chenghe has obtained waiver agreements from certain vendors, service providers and prospective target businesses whereby such parties have waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they or other parties who did not execute such waivers will not seek recourse against the Trust Account. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that a court will uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to claims that could take priority over those of SPAC Public Shareholders. Consequently, you may receive less than $10.20 per share in connection with any redemption of your Public Shares.

In the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure to consummate an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify and hold harmless Chenghe against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever to which Chenghe may become subject as a result of any claim by (i) any third party for services rendered or products sold to Chenghe or (ii) any prospective target business with which Chenghe has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or merger agreement to the extent necessary to ensure that such claims by a third party or the target do not reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (a) $10.20 per Public Share and (b) the actual amount per share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, Chenghe has not independently verified whether the Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and has not asked the Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, Chenghe cannot assure you that its Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations. If the Sponsors are unable to satisfy their obligations or assert that they have no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Chenghe independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsors to enforce their indemnification obligations. While Chenghe currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against the Sponsors to enforce their indemnification obligations to Chenghe, it is possible that Chenghe’s independent directors, in exercising their fiduciary duties, may choose not to do so in any particular instance. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for Chenghe’s business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per Public Share. In such event, you would receive such lesser amount per share.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, Chenghe files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Chenghe Shareholders in connection with Chenghe’s liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Public Shareholders, Chenghe files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law, and may be included in its bankruptcy or insolvency estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy or insolvency claims deplete the Trust Account, the per-share amount that would otherwise be received by Chenghe Shareholders in connection with Chenghe’s liquidation may be reduced.

Additionally, if Chenghe is forced to file a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by Chenghe’s shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy and/or insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover all amounts received by Chenghe’s shareholders. Because Chenghe intends to distribute the proceeds held in the Trust Account to Public Shareholders promptly after the expiration of the time period to complete a business combination, this may be viewed or interpreted as giving preference to Public Shareholders over any potential creditors with respect to access to or distributions from Chenghe’s assets. Furthermore, Chenghe Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duties to Chenghe’s creditors and/or as having acted in bad faith by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors, thereby exposing itself and Chenghe to claims of punitive damages. Chenghe cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or are in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders in recommending that shareholders vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and approval of the other proposals described in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

When considering Chenghe Board’s recommendation that Chenghe’s shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, shareholders should be aware that the Sponsors, Chenghe’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to benefit from and incentivize them to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. Chenghe directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination and did not believe that such interests would preclude them from approving the Business Combination or from recommending the Business Combination to shareholders, considering that these interests would be disclosed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 Founder Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination but will become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Based on the closing price for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares of $11.55 on Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, after giving effect to the Sponsor Sale, the value of the Founder Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor would be $6,930,000;

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $7,900,000 for its 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and that such SPAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA with the Old SPAC Sponsor for the acquisition of an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust

Agreement. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, the value of the Founder Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $18,386,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $12,221,366.85;

• the fact that the Sponsors are anticipated to hold 18.10% of issued and outstanding shares of CayCo immediately following the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the exercise of SPAC Private Placement Warrants);

• the fact that given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as compared to the price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants and the substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors will receive upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (as applicable) SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have a negative return on their investment;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed not to redeem any SPAC Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement;

• the fact that the Sponsors will lose their entire investment in SPAC if an initial business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline Date. The Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have not incurred any out-of-pocket fees and expenses in relation to the initial business combination since the SPAC IPO, except that, on October 25, 2023, SPAC issued the October 2023 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000, and on July 11, 2024, SPAC issued the July 2024 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by them if SPAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investing possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SPAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, SPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by the Extended Deadline;

• the right of the Sponsors to hold the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

• in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of SPAC to consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify SPAC to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, or such lesser per-public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which SPAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to SPAC, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the Sponsors (including its representatives and affiliates) and SPAC’s officers and directors are, or in the future may become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in similar business to SPAC. For example, the New SPAC Sponsor is controlled by Mr. Richard Qi Li, who is the owner of Chenghe Group Limited, founder and director of Chenghe Capital Management Limited and also serves as a director and the chief executive officer of HH&L Acquisition Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and

80

Table of Contents

served as chairman of the board of Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. The SPAC’s chief executive officer, Yixuan Yuan, is chief executive officer and director of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and a Managing Director of Chenghe Group Limited. The SPAC’s chief financial officer, Zhaohai Wang, is chief financial officer of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., and an associate at Chenghe Capital Management Limited. The SPAC’s chairman of the board, Dr. Shibin Wang, served as chief executive officer of Chenghe Acquisition Co. and is chairman of the board of directors of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. The Sponsors and SPAC’s officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target;

• the fact that SPAC’s Sponsors, officers and directors have not received any cash compensation in relation to the Business Combination. Following the Closing, CayCo intends to develop an executive compensation program that will be made by the compensation committee of CayCo and Mr. Richard Qi Li, who controls the New SPAC Sponsor, will become a director of CayCo upon Closing;

• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of SPAC’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

• the fact that SPAC has entered into a registration rights agreement with the Sponsors, which provides for customary registration rights to them and their permitted transferees.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivations in identifying and selecting FST and completing a business combination with FST, and may influence the operation of the Post-Closing Company following the Business Combination by some of them. For more information about SPAC’s business and Sponsors’ shareholding in SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on page 190. For dilution of non-redeeming SPAC shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe have after consummation of the Business Combination” on page 26.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. For more discussion about executive compensation prior to the Business Combination, see “Executive Compensation — Executive Compensation prior to the Business Combination” on page 190. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Shareholders should also be aware that interests of FST, FST officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to SPAC Shareholders. After Closing, certain FST officers and directors will be appointed as officers and directors of CayCo and certain of them will hold CayCo Ordinary Shares, assuming no redemption, amounting to 20.11% of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Closing. Given the differential in the purchase price that FST officers and directors paid for the FST Shares they hold (i.e., less than approximately NTD 306.20 per share) and the price of the Public Shares and the number of CayCo

81

Table of Contents

Ordinary Shares the FST officers and directors will receive upon exchange of the FST Shares, the FST officers and directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if the Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment. See “Beneficial Ownership of CayCo Securities after Business Combination” on page 301. Furthermore, Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their SPAC Shares upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies. See “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — The Business Combination — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 42.

The exercise of discretion by Chenghe’s directors and officers in agreeing to changes to the terms of or waivers of the Closing Conditions may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in the best interests of Chenghe Shareholders.

In the period leading up to the Closing, events may occur that would require Chenghe to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by CayCo and/or FST or to waive rights that Chenghe is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of FST’s business, a request by FST and/or CayCo to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on FST’s business and would entitle Chenghe to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. Chenghe may also agree to waive, in whole or in part, one or more of the conditions to its obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by Chenghe Articles. In any of such circumstances, it would be in the discretion of Chenghe, acting through Chenghe Board, to grant its consent or waive its rights. The existence of the financial and personal interests of the directors described elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement may result in a conflict of interest on the part of one or more of the directors between what he or she may believe is best for Chenghe and its shareholders and what he or she may believe is best for himself or herself or his or her affiliates in determining whether or not to take the requested action, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, Chenghe does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that its directors and officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, if there were a change to the terms of the Business Combination that would have a material impact on the shareholders, a new or amended proxy statement or supplement thereto will be required to be circulated and Chenghe will need to resolicit the vote of its shareholders with respect to the Business Combination Proposal.

Chenghe Board did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination.

Chenghe Board did not obtain a third-party fairness opinion in connection with its determination to approve the Business Combination. In analyzing the Business Combination, Chenghe Board and the management conducted due diligence on Chenghe and researched the industry in which FST operates and concluded that the Business Combination was fair to and in the best interests of its shareholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of Chenghe Board and the management in valuing FST’s business, and Chenghe Board and the management may not have properly valued such business. The lack of a third-party fairness opinion may lead an increased number of Chenghe’s shareholders to vote against the proposed Business Combination or demand redemption of their Public Shares for cash, which could potentially impact Chenghe’s ability to consummate the Business Combination or materially and adversely affect the liquidity of the Post-Closing Company.

The Business Combination may be completed, even though material adverse effects may result from the announcement of the Business Combination, industry-wide changes and other causes.

In general, Chenghe may refuse to complete the Business Combination if certain types of changes or conditions that constitute a material adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or condition of the Group occur between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned Closing. However, Chenghe may waive the occurrence of a material adverse effect affecting FST and consummate the Business Combination despite the occurrence of such event. If a material adverse effect affecting FST occurs and the parties still consummate the Business Combination, the market trading price of the Post-Closing Company’s securities may suffer.

Delays in completing the Business Combination may substantially reduce the expected benefits of the Business Combination.

Satisfying the conditions to, and completion of, the Business Combination may take longer than, and could cost more than, Chenghe expects. Any delay in completing or any additional conditions imposed in order to complete the Business Combination may materially and adversely affect the benefits that Chenghe expects to achieve from the Business Combination.

Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respective affiliates may elect to purchase shares or SPAC Public Warrants from Public Shareholders, which could have a depressive effect on Chenghe’s securities.

Subject to Rule 14e-5 of the Exchange Act, at any time prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Chenghe or its securities or otherwise, Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respective affiliates may purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or SPAC Public Warrants in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market, although they are under no obligation to do so. Such a purchase of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares may include a contractual acknowledgment that such shareholder, although still the record holder of Chenghe’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. Such a purchase of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will be made at a price per share no higher than the per share redemption price offered to Public Shareholders through the redemption process. The purpose of such purchases and other transactions would be to minimize redemptions of SPAC Public Shares and to ensure that Chenghe has in excess of $5,000,001 of net tangible assets, which is a Closing Condition under the Business Combination Agreement, if it appears that such requirement would otherwise not be met. Any SPAC Public Shares so purchased by Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respective affiliates will not be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals. None of Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respective affiliates may make any such purchases when they are in possession of any material nonpublic information not disclosed to the seller or during a restricted period under Regulation M under the Exchange Act. If any purchases was made, Chenghe will disclose in a Form 8-K, prior to the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting, (i) the amount of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares so purchased by Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST, or their respective affiliates, along with the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of such purchases by Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors and officers, FST and their respectively affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved; (iv) the identities of Public Shareholders who sold to Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respectively affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of Public Shareholders (e.g. holders of 5% SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or more) who sold to Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respectively affiliates; and (v) the number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for which Chenghe has received redemption request pursuant to its redemption offer. For more discussion on the purchase of SPAC Class A Shares by Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, or their respective affiliates, see “Business of SPAC and Certain Information About SPAC — Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination.” Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares he owns prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, none of Chenghe’s Sponsors, directors or officers, FST or their respectively affiliates have made any purchase of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, and neither of Chenghe or FST are aware of any intention to make any such purchase.

Because Chenghe and CayCo are incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, including in the event the Business Combination is not completed, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

Both Chenghe and CayCo are exempted companies incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the United States upon Chenghe’s and/or CayCo’s directors or officers, or to enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Chenghe’s and/or CayCo’s directors or officers.

The corporate affairs of both Chenghe and CayCo are governed by their respective memorandum and articles of association, the Cayman Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Chenghe is also subject to the federal securities laws of the United States. The rights of the Chenghe’s shareholders to take action against Chenghe’s

83

Table of Contents

directors or the rights of CayCo’s shareholders to take action against CayCo’s directors, actions by minority Chenghe’s or CayCo’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of Chenghe’s directors to Chenghe’s shareholders or CayCo’s directors to CayCo’s shareholders under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of Chenghe’s or CayCo’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of Chenghe’s or CayCo’s directors under Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

Chenghe has been advised by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP, Chenghe’s Cayman Islands legal counsel, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would, respectively, (1) recognize or enforce judgments of United States courts obtained against Chenghe or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States or (2) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. Chenghe has been advised by Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP that although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), a judgment obtained in such jurisdiction will be recognized and enforced in the courts of the Cayman Islands at common law, without any reexamination of the merits of the underlying dispute, by an action commenced on the foreign judgment debt in the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay a liquidated sum for which judgment has been given, provided such judgment (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (c) is final and conclusive, (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty, and (e) is not impeachable on the grounds of fraud and was not obtained in a manner and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Shareholders of Cayman Islands exempted companies have no general rights under Cayman Islands law to inspect or obtain copies of our list of shareholders or our corporate records (other than the memorandum and articles of association and any special resolutions passed by such companies, and the register of mortgages and charges of such companies) or to obtain copies of lists of shareholders of these companies. Chenghe’s or CayCo’s directors have discretion under their respective amended and restated memorandum and articles of association to determine whether or not, and under what conditions, their respective corporate records may be inspected by their shareholders, but are not obliged to make them available to their shareholders. This may make it more difficult for Chenghe’s shareholders and shareholders of CayCo to obtain the information needed to establish any facts necessary for a shareholder motion or to solicit proxies from other shareholders in connection with a proxy contest.

As a result of all of the above, Chenghe’s shareholders and shareholders of CayCo may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the board of directors or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a corporation incorporated in the United States.

Certain judgments obtained against Chenghe and CayCo by Chenghe’s shareholders and shareholders of CayCo may not be enforceable.

Each of Chenghe and CayCo is a Cayman Islands exempted company and substantially all of their respective assets are located outside of the United States. In addition, most of their respective current directors and officers are nationals and residents of countries other than the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for Chenghe’s shareholders and shareholders of CayCo to bring an action against Chenghe and CayCo (as the case may be) or against these individuals in the United States in the event that they believe that their rights have been infringed under

84

Table of Contents

the U.S. federal securities laws or otherwise. Even if they are successful in bringing an action of this kind, the laws of the Cayman Islands and of the PRC may render them unable to enforce a judgment against Chenghe’s or CayCo’s assets or the assets of their respective directors and officers.

Future resales of the CayCo Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination may cause the market price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares to drop significantly, even if CayCo’s business is doing well.

Certain shareholders of FST and the Sponsors have entered into support agreements with CayCo, FST and Chenghe. Pursuant to such support agreements, such FST shareholders and the Sponsors have agreed that, during the applicable lock-up period, they will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any shares, or any options or warrants to purchase any share or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares, or any interest in any of the foregoing, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by such shareholder (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which such shareholder has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (in each case, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the applicable agreement). See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the Business Combination — Lock-Up Agreement.”

Further, concurrently with the closing of the Transactions under the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo, the New SPAC Sponsor and certain FST shareholders will enter into an investors rights agreement that will provide the New SPAC Sponsor and the other parties thereto with customary demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by CayCo after the Closing. See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the Business Combination — Investor Rights Agreement.”

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up period and upon the effectiveness of any registration statement that CayCo files pursuant to the above-referenced registration rights agreement, in a registered offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions for Rule 144 to available for CayCo), the CayCo shareholders may sell large amounts of CayCo Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares. Further, sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares upon expiration of the applicable lock-up period could encourage short sales by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price. Short sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares could have a tendency to depress the price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares, which could increase the potential for short sales.

Chenghe cannot predict the size of future issuances of CayCo Ordinary Shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of CayCo Ordinary Shares will have on the market price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares. Sales of substantial amounts of CayCo Ordinary Shares (including those shares issued in connection with the Business Combination), or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Chenghe and FST will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Chenghe and FST have both incurred and expect to incur significant non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Transactions and operating as a public company following the consummation of the Transactions. FST may also incur additional costs to retain key employees. All expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs or allocated between Chenghe and FST pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents.

Subsequent to the completion of the Business Combination, the Post-Closing Company may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructure its operations and incur impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the Post-Closing Company’s share price, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Although Chenghe has conducted extensive due diligence on FST, Chenghe cannot assure you that this diligence will surface all material issues that may be present in FST’s business, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of FST’s business and outside of its control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, the Post-Closing Company may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure its operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in its reporting losses. Even if Chenghe’s due diligence successfully identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with Chenghe’s preliminary risk analysis. Even though these charges may be non-cash items and would not have an immediate impact on the Post-Closing Company’s liquidity, the fact that the Post-Closing Company reports charges of this nature could contribute to negative market perceptions of the Post-Closing Company or its securities. In addition, charges of this nature may cause the Post-Closing Company to violate net worth or other covenants to which the Post-Closing Company may be subject. Accordingly, any shareholders who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value.

The CayCo Ordinary Shares to be received by Chenghe’s shareholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from SPAC Ordinary Shares.

Following completion of the Business Combination, Chenghe’s shareholders will no longer be shareholders of Chenghe but will instead be shareholders of CayCo. There will be important differences between your current rights as a Chenghe shareholder and your rights as a CayCo shareholder. See “Comparison of Shareholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Chenghe’s shareholders will have a reduced ownership after consummation of the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

After the completion of the Business Combination, Chenghe’s shareholders will own a smaller percentage of the Post-Closing Company than they currently own in Chenghe.

Assuming none of the Public Shareholders demand redemption pursuant to the Chenghe Articles, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 61.70% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.25% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iii) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 18.10% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iv) the Public Shareholders will hold approximately 6.40% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; and (v) the holders of SPAC Public Warrants will hold approximately 10.55% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

Assuming intermediate redemptions by Public Shareholders, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 63.74% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.35% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital, (iii) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 18.70% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iv) Public Shareholders will hold approximately 3.31% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; and (v) the holders of SPAC Public Warrants will hold approximately 10.90% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

86

Table of Contents

Assuming maximum redemptions by Public Shareholders, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the closing of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that (i) FST’s existing shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 64.89% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (ii) Advisor will hold approximately 3.25% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital, (iii) the Sponsors and their respective affiliates holding the Converted SPAC Public Shares, the Founder Shares and SPAC Private Placement Warrants will hold approximately 19.04% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; (iv) the Public Shareholders will hold approximately 1.51% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital; and (v) the holders of SPAC Public Warrants will hold approximately 11.10% of the Post-Closing Company’s total issued and outstanding share capital.

In addition, such ownership could be further reduced as a result of issuance of additional CayCo Ordinary Shares. Consequently, SPAC Public Shareholders, as a group, will have reduced ownership in the Post-Closing Company compared to their ownership in Chenghe.

SPAC Public Shareholders who redeem their SPAC Public Shares may continue to hold the SPAC Public Warrants, which will result in additional dilution to non-redeeming SPAC Public Shareholders upon exercise.

Assuming maximum redemptions by the SPAC Public Shareholders and all the redeeming SPAC Public Shareholders continuing to hold the SPAC Public Warrants they own, an aggregate of 6,500,000 CayCo Warrants would be retained by these shareholders. The actual market price of the CayCo Warrants may be higher or lower on the date that holders seek to sell such CayCo Warrants. As a result, the redeeming SPAC Public Shareholders could recoup their entire investment and continue to hold CayCo Warrants, while non-redeeming SPAC Public Shareholders could suffer additional dilution in their percentage ownership and voting interest of the Post-Closing Company upon exercise of the CayCo Warrants held by redeeming SPAC Public Shareholders. Further, while the level of redemptions of Public Shares will not directly change the value of the CayCo Warrants because the CayCo Warrants will remain outstanding regardless of the level of redemptions, as redemptions of Public Shares increase, a holder of CayCo Warrants who exercises such CayCo Warrants will ultimately own a greater interest in CayCo because there would be fewer shares outstanding overall.

Assuming maximum redemptions by the SPAC Public Shareholders and all the redeeming SPAC Public Shareholders continuing to hold the SPAC Public Warrants they own, the aggregate value of the SPAC Public Warrants that may be retained would be $198,250, based on the closing trading price per SPAC Public Warrant of $0.0305 as of September 12, 2024 quoted on OTC Pink Market.

CayCo may issue additional CayCo Ordinary Shares or other equity securities without seeking approval of its shareholders, which would dilute your ownership interests and may depress the market price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo may choose to seek third-party financing to provide additional working capital for its business, in which event CayCo may issue additional equity securities. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo may also issue additional CayCo Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in the future for any reason or in connection with, among other things, future acquisitions, the redemption of outstanding warrants or repayment of outstanding indebtedness, without shareholder approval, in a number of circumstances.

The issuance of additional CayCo Ordinary Shares or other equity securities of equal or senior rank would have the following effects:

• the proportionate ownership interest in CayCo of the existing shareholders of CayCo and Chenghe would decrease;

• the amount of cash available per share, including for payment of dividends in the future, may decrease;

• the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding CayCo Ordinary Share may be diminished; and

• the market price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares may decline.

Chenghe’s Sponsors own SPAC Ordinary Shares that will be worthless if the Business Combination is not approved. Such interests may have influenced their decision to approve the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline, Chenghe will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the issued and outstanding Public Shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidating and dissolving. In such event, the 600,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares retained by the Old SPAC Sponsor after the Sponsor Sale, the 1,591,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the 1,058,127 Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor, and the 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the New SPAC Sponsor, would be worthless because the Sponsors and their respective affiliates are not entitled to participate in any redemption or liquidating distribution with respect to these shares and the SPAC Private Placement Warrants will not be exercisable. On the other hand, if the Business Combination is consummated, each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be automatically converted into one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, and each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, including those issued upon the automatic conversion of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares described above and those Converted SPAC Public Shares, will convert into one CayCo Ordinary Share, subject to adjustment described herein, and each SPAC Warrant will be converted into a CayCo Warrant at the Closing. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, the value of the total Founder Shares would be $25,316,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares would be $12,221,366.85. Given (i) the differential in the purchase price that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid for the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares as compared to the price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, (ii) the differential in the aggregate consideration paid by the New SAPC Sponsor in the Sponsor Sale as compared to the price of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the price of SPAC Public Warrants, and (iii) the substantial number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors will receive upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and/or SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if SPAC Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment.

These financial interests may have influenced the decision of Chenghe Board to approve the Business Combination and could incentivize Chenghe’s officers and directors to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. In considering the recommendations of Chenghe Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests. See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

The Sponsors are liable to ensure that proceeds of the Trust Account are not reduced by vendor claims in the event the Business Combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced Chenghe Board’s decision to pursue the Business Combination and Chenghe Board’s to approve it.

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by Chenghe on or before the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors will be liable to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced by the claims of target businesses or claims of vendors or other entities that are owed money by Chenghe for services rendered or contracted for or for products sold to Chenghe, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver agreement. If Chenghe consummates a business combination, on the other hand, Chenghe or the Post-Closing Company will be liable for all such claims. Chenghe has no reason to believe that the Sponsors will not be able to fulfill their indemnity obligations to Chenghe.

These obligations of the Sponsors may have influenced Chenghe Board decision to pursue the Business Combination with FST or Chenghe Board decision to approve the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of Chenghe Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, shareholders should consider these interests. See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination.”

Chenghe’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsors, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to SPAC Public Shareholders in the event a business combination is not consummated.

If proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below $10.20 per Public Share and the Sponsors assert that they are unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations or that they have no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, Chenghe’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsors

88

Table of Contents

to enforce their indemnification obligations. While Chenghe currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on Chenghe’s behalf against the Sponsors to enforce their indemnification obligations, it is possible that Chenghe’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Chenghe’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to SPAC Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.20 per share.

Chenghe and CayCo have no history operating as a Post-Closing Company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be an indication of CayCo’s financial condition or results of operations following the Business Combination, and accordingly, you have limited financial information on which to evaluate CayCo and your investment decision.

CayCo and Chenghe have no prior history as a combined entity, and their operations have not been previously managed on a combined basis. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement has been prepared using the consolidated historical financial statements of Chenghe and CayCo, and is presented for illustrative purposes only and should not be considered to be an indication of the results of operations, including, without limitation, future revenue, or financial condition of Chenghe following the Business Combination. Certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding Chenghe after giving effect to the Business Combination. CayCo and Chenghe believe these assumptions are reasonable. However, the information upon which these adjustments and assumptions have been made is preliminary, and these kinds of adjustments are difficult to make with accuracy. These assumptions may not prove to be accurate, and other factors may affect Chenghe’s results of operations or financial condition following the consummation of the Business Combination. For these and other reasons, the historical and pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement does not necessarily reflect CayCo’s results of operations and financial condition, and the actual financial condition and results of operations of CayCo following the Business Combination may not be consistent with, or evident from, this pro forma financial information.

Each of BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch has not been involved with the preparation of the disclosure in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement or the underlying transactions contemplated by the Business Combination.

BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch entered into the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement with SPAC on January 24, 2022 and acted as underwriters in the SPAC IPO consummated on January 27, 2022. Pursuant to the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement, BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch are entitled to a deferred underwriting commission which would become due upon consummation of SPAC’s initial business combination.

In connection with the Sponsor Sale, SPAC approached BofA Securities, Inc., and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch to discuss waiver of deferred underwriting commission in September 2023. On September 8, 2023 and September 19, 2023, BofA Securities, Inc., and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch respectively notified SPAC that they would not act in any capacity in connection with the Business Combination and waived their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination under and pursuant to the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement.

Such fee waivers for services already rendered is unusual yet BofA Securities, Inc., and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch are gratuitously waiving their right to be compensated. Based on discussions with BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, the principal reason for the waiver of their respective deferred fee was due to their respective internal policies in relation to de-SPAC processes. BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch did not and currently do not hold any advisory or other role in connection with the Business Combination following the issuance of waiver letters nor did they assist in the identification or evaluation of business combination targets in any significant respect.

We have requested BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch to confirm that they agree with the disclosure regarding their waiver of entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission and the risks and conclusions stated in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement that are associated with their roles. BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch have declined to provide any confirmatory letters and have not otherwise confirmed whether they agree with such disclosure. There can be no assurances that the firms agree with the relevant disclosure and no inference can be drawn to this effect.

Table of Contents

The withdrawal of BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch indicates that the firms do not want to be associated with the disclosure or underlying business analysis related to the Business Combination and that they claim no role in the Business Combination and disclaim any responsibility for any of the disclosure in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. The firms are not involved in the preparation of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Therefore, investors should not place any reliance on the fact that either firm has been previously involved with the SPAC IPO.

As of the date hereof, there is no dispute between any of the SPAC, BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, or any combination of the foregoing with respect to the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver. We do not believe that the Business Combination is adversely impacted by the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver. However, SPAC Public Shareholders may be more likely to elect to redeem their shares as a result of the BofA and Banco BTG Fee Waiver.

The Sponsors and certain officers and directors of Chenghe have agreed to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how SPAC Public Shareholders vote.

After the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Sponsors own and are entitled to vote an aggregate of approximately 45.2% on an as-converted basis of the issued and outstanding SPAC Ordinary Shares. These holders have agreed to vote their SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsors have also agreed to vote their shares in favor of all each of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Accordingly, it is more likely that the necessary shareholder approval for the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals will be received than would be the case if these holders agreed to vote their SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by SPAC Public Shareholders.

Changes in laws or regulations, or a failure to comply with any laws and regulations, may adversely affect Chenghe’s business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Chenghe is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, Chenghe is required to comply with certain SEC and other legal requirements. Compliance with, and monitoring of, applicable laws and regulations may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time and those changes could have a material adverse effect on Chenghe’s business, investments and results of operations. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on Chenghe’s business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The SEC has issued final rules and guidance relating to certain activities of special purpose acquisition companies. The need for compliance with these rules and guidance may increase the costs and the time needed to complete the Business Combination and may cause Chenghe to liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “SPAC Rules”) relating, among other things, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with business combination transactions involving special purpose acquisition companies such as Chenghe and private operating companies, the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies, and the use of projections by special purpose acquisition companies in SEC filings in connection with proposed business combination transactions. In connection with the issuance of the SPAC Rules, the SEC also issued guidance (the “SPAC Guidance”) regarding the potential liability of certain participants in business combination transactions and the extent to which special purpose acquisition companies could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act. The need for compliance with the SPAC Rules and the SPAC Guidance may cause Chenghe to liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.

Certain of the procedures that Chenghe or FST may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Rules, or pursuant to the SPAC Guidance, may increase the costs and time of completing the Business Combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which we could complete the Business Combination. The need for

90

Table of Contents

compliance with the SPAC Rules and the SPAC Guidance may cause Chenghe to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose. Were Chenghe to liquidate, the SPAC Public Warrants would expire worthless, and Chenghe’s securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in CayCo, including any potential price appreciation of its securities.

The initial business combination may be delayed or ultimately prohibited since such initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval requirements, including pursuant to foreign investment regulations and review by governmental entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).

Certain investments that involve, directly or indirectly, the acquisition of, or investment in, a U.S. business by a non-U.S. investor may be subject to review and approval by CFIUS. Whether CFIUS has jurisdiction to review an acquisition or investment transaction depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, including the level of beneficial ownership interest and the nature of any information or governance rights involved. For example, investments that result in “control” of a U.S. business by a foreign person always are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. Significant CFIUS reform legislation, which was fully implemented through regulations that became effective on February 13, 2020, expanded the scope of CFIUS’s jurisdiction to investments that do not result in control of a U.S. business by a foreign person but afford certain foreign investors certain information or governance rights in a U.S. business that has a nexus to “critical technologies,” certain “critical infrastructure” and/or “sensitive personal data.”

If a potential initial business combination falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, the parties may be required to make a mandatory filing or determine to submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. The New SPAC Sponsor is a Cayman Islands limited liability company whose sole member is Chenghe Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands incorporated company controlled by Richard Qi Li. Mr. Li is a foreign person under the CFIUS regulations. Except as disclosed herein, the New SPAC Sponsor has no other substantial ties with a non-U.S. person. CayCo, being a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, is a non-U.S. person. FST is a Taiwanese company limited by shares, and substantially all of its assets are located in Taiwan. FST has operations and sales in the United States. For further details, see “Business of FST and Certain Information about FST.”

While FST and Chenghe do not believe that the initial business combination would be subject to the jurisdiction of CFIUS because, post-Closing, neither Chenghe nor its investors will have any rights that trigger CFIUS’ jurisdiction (under 31 C.F.R. §§ 800.208, 211), if CFIUS decides to make an inquiry regarding the initial business combination and determines that it has jurisdiction over Chenghe’s initial business combination, CFIUS may decide to block or delay Chenghe’s initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order it to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company if it had proceeded without first obtaining CFIUS clearance. The likelihood of a CFIUS inquiry concerning a potential business combination transaction generally tends to be higher if one or more “control” persons of a sponsor is from Hong Kong or the PRC, as is the case with Chenghe; Mr. Li is a permanent resident of Hong Kong.

The process of government review, whether by CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy. Because Chenghe has only a limited time to complete its initial business combination, its failure to obtain any required approvals within the requisite time period may require it to liquidate. If Chenghe winds up and liquidates, its Public Shareholders may only receive the redemption value per share, and its warrants will expire worthless. This will also cause investors to lose any potential investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on Chenghe’s shareholders’ investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

SPAC Public Warrants have been delisted from Nasdaq.

On June 15, 2023, Chenghe received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that since the aggregate market value of the outstanding SPAC Public Warrants was less than $1 million, Chenghe was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(b)(C) (the “Market Value Rule”), which requires Chenghe to maintain an aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants of at least $1 million (the “Notice”).

Chenghe has been given 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Market Value Rule. Chenghe has not submitted such plan. On August 16, 2023, Nasdaq notified SPAC that it determined to commence proceedings to delist the SPAC Public Warrants from Nasdaq and that trading in the SPAC Public Warrants would be suspended at the opening of business on August 25, 2023. SPAC did not appeal the delisting

91

Table of Contents

determination. As a result, on September 8, 2023, Nasdaq filed a notification of removal from listing on Form 25. The SPAC Public Warrants are currently listed on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol of “LATGF”. CayCo does not intend to apply for the listing of the CayCo Warrants on any stock exchange after the Closing.

After the delisting of SPAC Public Warrants from Nasdaq, Chenghe and the holders of SPAC Public Warrants could face adverse consequences, including, among other things, reduced liquidity of SPAC Public Warrants, limited availability of market quotations for SPAC Public Warrants, and potentially becoming subject to regulation in each state in which Chenghe offer SPAC Public Warrants. The holders of SPAC Public Warrants may be unable to sell the SPAC Public Warrants held by it, him or her unless a market can be established or sustained.

Risks Related to the Redemption

If SPAC Public Shareholders fail to properly demand redemption rights, they will not be entitled to convert their Public Shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account.

SPAC Public Shareholders holding Public Shares may demand that Chenghe convert their Public Shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. To demand redemption rights, SPAC Public Shareholders must deliver their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms (either physically or electronically) to Chenghe’s transfer agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting. Any shareholder who fails to properly demand redemption rights by delivering his, her or its shares will not be entitled to convert his, her or its share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account. See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares to cash.

SPAC Public Shareholders, together with any affiliates of theirs or any other person with whom they are acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares.

A SPAC Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without Chenghe’s prior consent. Accordingly, if you hold more than 15% of the Public Shares and the Business Combination Proposal is approved, you will not be able to seek redemption rights with respect to the full amount of your shares and may be forced to hold the shares in excess of 15% or sell them in the open market. Chenghe cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following a business combination or that the market price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares will exceed the per-share redemption price.

There is no guarantee that a SPAC Public Shareholder’s decision to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.

There is no assurance as to the price at which a SPAC Public Shareholder may be able to sell its CayCo Ordinary Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or shares with respect to any alternative business combination, and these shareholders could suffer a reduction in the value of their CayCo Ordinary Shares and would be unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination may cause an increase in the share price and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder of Chenghe might realize in the future had the shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of public shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s tax and/or financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect its individual situation.

If SPAC Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of Chenghe’s offer to redeem its Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite Chenghe’s compliance with the proxy rules, a SPAC Public Shareholder fails to receive the proxy materials, such shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem its shares. In addition, this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement being furnished to SPAC Public Shareholders in connection with the Business Combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem Public Shares. In the event that a shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section titled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

Risks Related to the Post-Closing Company’s Securities

The price of CayCo Ordinary Shares may be volatile, and the value of CayCo Ordinary Shares may decline.

CayCo cannot predict the prices at which CayCo Ordinary Shares will trade. The price of CayCo Ordinary Shares may not bear any relationship to the market price at which CayCo Ordinary Shares will trade after the Transactions or to any other established criteria of the value of its business and prospects, and the market price of CayCo Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination may fluctuate substantially and may be lower than the price agreed by Chenghe and CayCo in connection with the Transactions. In addition, the trading price of SPAC Ordinary Shares following the Business Combination could be subject to fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond its control. These fluctuations could cause you to lose all or part of your investment in CayCo Ordinary Shares as you might be unable to sell these securities at or above the price you paid in the Transactions. Factors that could cause fluctuations in the trading price of CayCo Ordinary Shares include the following:

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in its financial condition or results of operations;

• variance in its financial performance from expectations of securities analysts;

• changes in its projected operating and financial results;

• changes in laws or regulations applicable to its business;

• announcements by CayCo or its competitors of significant business developments, acquisitions or new offerings;

• sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares by CayCo, its shareholders or its warrant holders, as well as the anticipation of lockup releases;

• significant breaches of, disruptions to or other incidents involving its information technology systems or those of its business partners;

• its involvement in litigation;

• conditions or developments affecting the social consumer internet industry in the countries and regions where CayCo operates its business;

• changes in its senior management or key personnel;

• the trading volume of its securities;

• changes in the anticipated future size and growth rate of its markets;

• publication of research reports or news stories about CayCo, its competitors or its industry, or positive or negative recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage by securities analysts;

• general economic and market conditions; and

• other events or factors, including those resulting from war, incidents of terrorism, global pandemics or responses to these events.

Future sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Business Combination may cause the market price of CayCo Ordinary Shares to drop significantly.

After the completion of the Business Combination, Chenghe’s shareholders will own a smaller percentage of the Post-Closing Company than they currently own in Chenghe.

At the Closing, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage reaching 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants, existing CayCo shareholders, SPAC Public Shareholders, the Sponsors and their affiliates and the holders of SPAC Public Warrants are expected to hold approximately 61.70%, 6.40%, 18.10%, and 10.55% of CayCo’s total share capital, respectively, assuming no redemptions, approximately 63.74%, 3.31%, 18.70% and 10.90% of CayCo’s total share capital, respectively, assuming holders of 50% of the SPAC Public Shares exercise their redemption rights with respects to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account, and approximately 64.89%, 1.51%, 19.04% and 11.10% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital, respectively, assuming holders of 3,031,981 SPAC Public Shares exercise their redemption rights with respects to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account so that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Certain existing shareholders of FST, the Sponsors and certain holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares will be subject to the Lock-Up Agreement following the Closing. Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, existing FST shareholders, the Sponsors and certain holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares agreed that, during the applicable lock-up period, they will not, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer, dispose of or agree to transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position or enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another any of the economic consequences of ownership of certain CayCo Ordinary Shares held by existing FST shareholders, the Sponsors and holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, respectively. See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Agreements Entered into in Connection with the Business Combination — Lock-Up Agreement.” Following the Closing, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the FST Restructuring Closing, a total of 3,941,873 CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming no redemptions), a total of 1,970,936 CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming intermediate redemptions) and a total of 909,892 CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming maximum redemptions) will immediately be freely tradeable. Assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the FST Restructuring Closing, a total of 47,191,873 CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming no redemptions) and a total of 45,220,936 CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming intermediate redemptions) or a total of 44,135,843 CayCo Ordinary Shares (assuming maximum redemptions) held by these certain FST shareholders, the Sponsors and their respective affiliates will be freely tradeable after the applicable lock-up period. However, depending on the level of redemption of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, FST and the Sponsors may consider releasing a portion or all of the CayCo Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsors, certain FST shareholders, and their respective affiliates (if applicable) from the Lock-Up Agreement to meet the requirement of the relevant stock exchange in relation to the public float, which will result in additional CayCo Ordinary Shares becoming freely tradeable at the Closing of Business Combination, and potentially downward pressure on the trading price of CayCo Ordinary Shares immediately after the Closing of Business Combination.

Further, at the Closing, the Sponsors and certain shareholders of CayCo and certain of their respective affiliates, as applicable, will enter into an investors rights agreement with CayCo, pursuant to which the Sponsors and the other parties thereto will have customary demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights with respect to registration statements filed by CayCo after the Closing. See the sections of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the Business Combination — Investor Rights Agreement.”

Upon expiration of the applicable lock-up period and upon the effectiveness of any registration statement that CayCo files pursuant to the above-referenced registration rights agreement, in a registered offering of securities pursuant to the Securities Act or otherwise in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act (subject to the

94

Table of Contents

satisfaction of certain conditions), the CayCo shareholders may sell large amounts of CayCo Ordinary Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, which could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the trading price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares or putting significant downward pressure on the price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares. The effective prices at which the Sponsors will have acquire the Post-Closing Company shares issued in respect of their SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination are generally substantially less than the SPAC IPO price. Consequently, after the lock-up period, these persons may have an incentive to sell their CayCo Ordinary Shares even if the trading price at that time is below the SPAC IPO price, which could cause downward pressure on the trading price of the Post-Closing Company shares. Further, sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares upon expiration of the applicable lockup period could encourage short sales by market participants. Generally, short selling means selling a security, contract or commodity not owned by the seller. The seller is committed to eventually purchase the financial instrument previously sold. Short sales are used to capitalize on an expected decline in the security’s price. Short sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares could have a tendency to depress the price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares, which could increase the potential for short sales.

We cannot predict the size of future issuances of CayCo Ordinary Shares or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of CayCo Ordinary Shares will have on the market price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares. Sales of substantial amounts of CayCo Ordinary Shares (including those shares issued in connection with the Business Combination), or the perception that such sales could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

An active trading market for CayCo Ordinary Shares may not develop or be sustained, which would adversely affect the liquidity and price of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Following the Business Combination, the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares may fluctuate significantly due to the market’s reaction to the Business Combination and general market and economic conditions. An active trading market for its ordinary shares following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, may not be sustained. The price of CayCo Ordinary Shares after the Business Combination may vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, its general business condition and the release of its financial reports. Additionally, if the Post-Closing Company’s securities are not listed on the Stock Exchange and are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (an inter-dealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange), the liquidity and price of CayCo Ordinary Shares may be more limited than if the Post-Closing Company was quoted or listed on the Stock Exchange or another national securities exchange. You may be unable to sell your securities unless a market can be established or sustained.

If CayCo does not meet the expectations of equity research analysts, if they do not publish research reports about its business or if they issue unfavorable commentary or downgrade CayCo Ordinary Shares, the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares could decline.

The trading market for CayCo Ordinary Shares will rely in part on the research reports that equity research analysts publish about CayCo and its business. The analysts’ estimates are based upon their own opinions and are often different from CayCo’s estimates or expectations. If CayCo’s results of operations are below the estimates or expectations of equity research analysts and investors, the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares could decline. Moreover, the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares could decline if one or more equity research analysts downgrade CayCo Ordinary Shares or if those analysts issue other unfavorable commentary or cease publishing reports about CayCo or its business.

CayCo’s issuance of additional share capital in connection with financings, acquisitions, investments, an equity incentive plan or otherwise will dilute all other shareholders.

CayCo expects to issue additional share capital in the future that will result in dilution to all other shareholders. CayCo expects to grant equity awards to key employees under an equity incentive plan. CayCo may also raise capital through equity financings in the future. As part of its business strategy, CayCo may acquire or make investments in companies, solutions or technologies and issue equity securities to pay for any such acquisition or investment. Any such issuances of additional share capital may cause shareholders to experience significant dilution of their ownership interests and the per share value of CayCo Ordinary Shares to decline.

CayCo does not have any definite timetable for the payment of any dividends, and as a result, your ability to achieve a return on your investment may depend on appreciation in the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

CayCo does not have any definite timetable for the payment of any dividends, and any determination to pay dividends in the future will be at the discretion of its board of directors. Accordingly, you may need to rely on sales of CayCo Ordinary Shares after price appreciation, which may never occur, as the only way to realize any future gains on your investment.

CayCo is an “emerging growth company,” and CayCo cannot be certain if the reduced reporting and disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make CayCo Ordinary Shares less attractive to investors.

CayCo is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act, and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies, but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. CayCo has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, CayCo, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of CayCo’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

The Post-Closing Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the date of its first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) in which the Post-Closing Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which the Post-Closing Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the Post-Closing Company’s common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last Business Day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which the Post-Closing Company has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

CayCo cannot predict if investors will find CayCo Ordinary Shares less attractive because CayCo relies on these exemptions. If some investors find CayCo Ordinary Shares less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for CayCo Ordinary Shares, and the price of CayCo Ordinary Shares may be more volatile.

CayCo will be a foreign private issuer, and as a result, CayCo will not be subject to U.S. proxy rules and will be subject to Exchange Act reporting obligations that, to some extent, are more lenient and less frequent than those of a U.S. domestic public company.

Upon the closing of the Transactions, CayCo will report under the Exchange Act as a non-U.S. company with foreign private issuer status. Because CayCo qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, CayCo is exempt from certain provisions of the Exchange Act that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including, among others, (1) the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act, (2) the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time, and (3) the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing unaudited financial and other specified information. In addition, foreign private issuers are not required to file their annual report on Form 20-F until 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, while U.S. domestic issuers that are accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 75 days after the end of each fiscal year, and U.S. domestic issuers that are large accelerated filers are required to file their annual report on Form 10-K within 60 days after the end of each fiscal year. As a result of all of the above, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of a company that is not a foreign private issuer.

Chenghe’s Warrant Agreement, which will be assigned to CayCo pursuant to an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement upon the Closing, designates the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by holders of the warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with CayCo in connection with such warrants.

In connection with the Closing, Chenghe, CayCo and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will enter into an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement which will amend and restate the Warrant Agreement to provide for the assignment by Chenghe of all its rights, title and interest in the outstanding warrants of Chenghe, and the assumption of such warrants by, CayCo. All warrants of Chenghe under the Warrant Agreement will no longer be exercisable for SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, but instead will be exercisable for CayCo Ordinary Shares.

The Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against Chenghe 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 (ii) that Chenghe irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. Chenghe has waived any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these provisions of the Warrant Agreement will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any of Chenghe’s warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of Chenghe’s warrants, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

In addition, the exclusive forum provisions of the foregoing paragraph will apply to suit, action, proceeding or claim against Chenghe arising out of or relating and under the Securities Act. We note, however, that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such a provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for state and federal courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

Since the provisions of the Warrant Agreement will continue to apply unless amended by the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement after the Closing and the conversion of each SPAC Warrant into a CayCo Warrant at the Closing, and since the choice-of-forum and related provisions would not be amended by the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement the choice-of-forum provision will continue to limit a warrant holder’s ability after the Closing to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with CayCo, which may discourage such lawsuits. Alternatively, if a court were to find this provision of the Warrant Agreement inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, CayCo may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of CayCo’s management and board of directors.

CayCo may redeem unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to warrant holders, thereby making their warrants worthless, and exercise of a significant number of CayCo Warrants could adversely affect the market price of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Under the Warrant Agreement, SPAC has, and pursuant to the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement to be entered into upon Closing, CayCo will have the ability to redeem outstanding warrants at any time after they become exercisable, at a price of $0.01 per warrant and upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that the reported closing price of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (or as the case may be, CayCo Ordinary Shares) meets the condition as discussed in more details in the section titled “Description of Securities — Warrants — Public Warrants.”

Table of Contents

The trading price of CayCo’s securities may fluctuate following the Closing, and can vary due to general economic conditions and forecasts, our general business condition and the release of our financial reports.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by CayCo, CayCo may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding warrants could force the holders thereof to: (1) exercise the warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous for the warrant holders to do so; (2) sell the warrants at then-current market price when the warrant holders might otherwise wish to hold the warrants; or (3) accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants. In the event that CayCo elects to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, it would only be required to have the notice of redemption mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by us not less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date to the registered holders of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books.

CayCo does not intend to apply for the listing of the CayCo Warrants on any stock exchange after the Closing, holders of SPAC Public Warrants whose warrants are converted to CayCo Warrants upon Closing could face adverse consequences.

Upon the Closing, each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised will be automatically converted into the right to receive a CayCo Warrant, which will be on the same terms and conditions as the applicable SPAC Warrant. The SPAC Public Warrants are currently listed on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol of “LATGF”. CayCo does not intend to apply for the listing of the CayCo Warrants on any stock exchange after the Closing. The SPAC Public Warrants not exercised upon Closing will be converted to CayCo Warrants, and the holders thereof could face adverse consequences, including, among other things, reduced liquidity of CayCo Warrants, limited availability of market quotations for CayCo Warrants, and may be unable to sell the CayCo Warrants they hold unless a market can be established or sustained.

CayCo may amend the terms of the warrants in a manner that may be adverse to holders of the warrants with the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants, or for amendments necessary for the warrants to be classified as equity. As a result, the exercise price of CayCo Warrants could be increased, the exercise period could be shortened and the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a CayCo Warrant could be decreased, all without approval of warrant holder.

The Warrant Agreement (to be amended by the Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement upon Closing) provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any shareholder or warrant holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or to make any amendments that are necessary in the good faith determination of the company’s board of directors (taking into account then existing market precedents) to allow for the warrants to be classified as equity in the company’s financial statements, but otherwise requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of the warrants. Accordingly, the company may amend the terms of the warrants (i) in a manner adverse to a holder of the warrants if holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants approve of such amendment or (ii) to the extent necessary for the warrants in the good faith determination of the company’s board of directors (taking into account then existing market precedents) to allow for the warrants to be classified as equity in the company’s financial statements without the consent of any shareholder or warrant holder. Although the company’s ability to amend the terms of the warrants with the consent of at least 65% of the then outstanding warrants is unlimited, examples of such amendments could be amendments to, among other things, increase the exercise price of the warrants, convert the warrants into cash or shares, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares purchasable upon exercise of a warrant.

As CayCo is a “foreign private issuer” and intends to follow certain home country corporate governance practices, its shareholders may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all corporate governance requirements of the Stock Exchange.

As a foreign private issuer, CayCo has the option to follow Cayman Islands law rather than those of the Stock Exchange for certain governance matters, provided that CayCo discloses the requirements CayCo is not following and describe the home country practices CayCo is following. Certain corporate governance practices in the Cayman Islands

98

Table of Contents

may differ significantly from corporate governance listing standards, except for general fiduciary duties and duties of care. If CayCo chooses to follow home country practices in the future, its shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would have under corporate governance listing standards applicable to U.S. domestic issuers.

CayCo may lose its foreign private issuer status in the future, which could result in significant additional costs and expenses.

As discussed above, CayCo is a foreign private issuer, and therefore, CayCo is not required to comply with all of the periodic disclosure and current reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. The determination of foreign private issuer status is made annually on the last Business Day of an issuer’s most recently completed second fiscal quarter. In the future, CayCo would lose its foreign private issuer status if (1) more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are owned by U.S. residents and (2) a majority of its directors or executive officers are U.S. citizens or residents, a majority of its assets are located in the U.S., or its business is administered principally in the U.S. If CayCo loses its foreign private issuer status, CayCo will be required to file with the SEC periodic reports and registration statements on U.S. domestic issuer forms, which are more detailed and extensive than the forms available to a foreign private issuer. CayCo will also have to mandatorily comply with U.S. federal proxy requirements, and its officers, directors and principal shareholders will become subject to the short-swing profit disclosure and recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, CayCo will lose its ability to rely upon exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements under the listing rules of the Stock Exchange (the “Listing Rules”). A U.S.-listed public company that is not a foreign private issuer will incur significant additional legal, accounting and other expenses that a foreign private issuer will not incur.

CayCo does not intend to make any determinations on whether CayCo or its subsidiaries are CFCs for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

CayCo does not intend to make any determinations on whether CayCo or any of its subsidiaries are treated as “controlled foreign corporations” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code (“CFCs”), or whether any U.S. Holder (as defined below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of CayCo Ordinary Shares is treated as a “United States shareholder” within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code with respect to CayCo or any of its subsidiaries. CayCo does not expect to furnish to any U.S. Holder of CayCo Ordinary Shares information that may be necessary to comply with applicable reporting and tax paying obligations with respect to CFCs. The IRS has provided limited guidance regarding the circumstances in which investors may rely on publicly available information to comply with their reporting and taxpaying obligations with respect to CFCs. U.S. Holders of CayCo Ordinary Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to their particular circumstances.

If CayCo or any of its subsidiaries are characterized as a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, U.S. Holders may suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

A non-U.S. corporation generally will be treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income for such year is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets (generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets) during such year is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income.

As of the date hereof, CayCo has not made a determination as to its PFIC status for its current taxable year or any other taxable year. Whether CayCo or any of its subsidiaries are a PFIC for any taxable year is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of its income and assets, its market value and the market value of its subsidiaries’ shares and assets (including FST and SPAC). Changes in CayCo’s composition, the composition of its income or the composition of any of its subsidiaries’ assets may cause CayCo to be or become a PFIC for the current or subsequent taxable years. Whether CayCo is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes is a factual determination that must be made annually at the close of each taxable year and, thus, is subject to significant uncertainty.

If CayCo is a PFIC for any taxable year, a U.S. Holder (as defined below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of CayCo Ordinary Shares may be subject to adverse tax consequences and may incur certain information reporting obligations. U.S. Holders of CayCo Ordinary Shares are strongly encouraged to consult their own advisors regarding the potential application of these rules to CayCo and the ownership of CayCo Ordinary Shares.

The Merger may not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and the FST Restructuring together with the Merger may not qualify as a transfer of property described in Section 351 of the Code, in which case U.S. Holders of Chenghe securities generally would recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

It is intended that (1) the FST Restructuring together with the Merger qualify as a transfer of property described in Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated and/or (2) the Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The parties intend to report the Transactions in a manner consistent with the Intended Tax Treatment. However, legal counsel to SPAC is unable to opine regarding the qualification of the Merger and the FST Restructuring for the Intended Tax Treatment because there are significant factual and legal uncertainties as to whether the Transactions will qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment. Moreover, qualification of the Transactions for the Intended Tax Treatment is based on certain facts that will not be known until or following the closing of the Business Combination, and the closing of the Business Combination is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the Transactions qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment, and neither Chenghe nor FST intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Transactions.

There are many requirements that must be satisfied in order for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and/or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, some of which are based upon factual determinations, and the Intended Tax Treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur or are taken after the Merger. One such requirement, among others, for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code is that the acquiring corporation continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.368-1(d). However, due to the absence of guidance bearing directly on how the above rules apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with no active business and only investment-type assets, such as SPAC, we cannot provide guidance on whether the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization would depend on whether sufficient shareholders of SPAC exchange their ordinary shares for CayCo Ordinary Shares rather than redeem it for cash. If a significant number of shareholders of SPAC decide to redeem their ordinary shares, the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement that is necessary to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code may not be satisfied. Further, for a transaction to qualify under Section 351 of the Code, persons who transfer property to a corporation in exchange for stock must be in control (as specifically defined under the Code) of the corporation immediately after the exchange. For the transaction to qualify under Section 351 of the Code, shareholders of the SPAC along with the FST Shareholders who subscribe for shares of CayCo in connection with the Company Shareholder Subscription must be treated as part of a single group for purposes of satisfying this control requirement. Due to the funding of the Company Shareholders Subscription and the transitory nature of the cash used in the Company Shareholder Subscription it is not clear whether the FST Shareholders who subscribe for shares of CayCo in connection with the Company Shareholder Subscription would be treated as part of the required control group for purposes of Section 351 of the Code, and thus there is significant legal uncertainty due to a lack of clear authority on point as to whether the Merger together with the FST Restructuring will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not challenge the Intended Tax Treatment or that a court will not sustain a challenge by the IRS.

If the FST Restructuring together with the Merger does not qualify as a transfer of property described in Section 351 and the Merger does not meet the requirements to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, then a U.S. Holder (as defined below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) of Chenghe securities generally would recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants received in the Business Combination over such U.S. Holder’s aggregate tax basis in the corresponding SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants surrendered by such U.S. Holder in the Business Combination.

If the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code but qualifies (along with the FST Restructuring) as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, the treatment of a U.S. Holder’s exchange of SPAC Warrants for CayCo Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. Holder could be treated as transferring its SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants in exchange for CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code. In such case, such U.S. Holder generally would be required to recognize gain (but not loss), computed on an asset by asset basis with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such U.S. Holder (generally, the excess of (x) the fair market

100

Table of Contents

values of the CayCo Warrants or the CayCo Ordinary Shares, as applicable, received by such holder, over (y) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the CayCo Warrants or CayCo Ordinary Shares, as applicable, exchanged therefor) and (ii) the appropriate allocation to the SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Warrants, as applicable, of the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. For purposes of determining the appropriate allocation of the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants describe in the preceding clause (ii), the holder allocates the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants between the SPAC Ordinary Shares and the SPAC Warrants based on the proportionate fair market values of the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Warrants exchanged in the Merger. It is also possible that a U.S. Holder could be treated as exchanging its CayCo Warrants for “new” warrants (i.e., CayCo Warrants) in a taxable transaction that is distinct from the exchange of SPAC Ordinary Shares for CayCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger. In such case, the U.S. Holder should be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants held by such U.S. Holder immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the SPAC Warrants held by such U.S. Holder immediately prior to the Merger.

Additionally, even if the Intended Tax Treatment is respected, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date) generally require that, unless certain elections have been made by a U.S. Holder, a U.S. Holder who disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. Given the anticipated structure of the Business Combination, the startup exception (as discussed below in the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”) is not expected to apply to Chenghe and consequently Chenghe is expected to be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes for the 2022, 2023 and current and future taxable years. If Chenghe is classified as a PFIC, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Chenghe securities to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of Chenghe securities for CayCo securities pursuant to the Business Combination unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s SPAC Ordinary Shares. Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. Holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of Chenghe. It is unclear at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

For a detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Business Combination for U.S. Holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares that do not exercise their redemption rights, see the section titled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” U.S. Holders of Chenghe securities should consult their tax advisors to determine the tax consequences if the Business Combination does not qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and if the PFIC rules apply to their specific situations in connection with the Business Combination.

Additionally, statements relating to “reserves” are deemed to be forward-looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the reserves described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated and can be proﬁtably produced in the future.

Forward-looking statements regarding expected ownership of CayCo Ordinary Shares by existing SPAC Shareholders and Company Shareholders following the Business Combination have been calculated based on each of SPAC’s and FST’s outstanding share capital, each as of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Forward-looking statements representing post-closing expectations are inherently uncertain. There can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and reliance should not be placed on these estimates in deciding how to vote on the SPAC Shareholder Proposals.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any of the assumptions made in making these forward-looking statements prove incorrect, actual results may vary in material respects from those projected in these forward-looking statements. While such forward-looking statements reﬂect SPAC’s, FST’s and CayCo’s good faith beliefs, as applicable, they are not guarantees of future performance. SPAC, FST and CayCo disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reﬂect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, except as required by applicable law. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to SPAC, FST and CayCo, as applicable.

• Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — to consider and vote upon, as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to approve and adopt the business combination agreement dated as of December 22, 2023 (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Chenghe, FST Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability (“CayCo”), FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (“Merger Sub”), and Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., a company incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number

105

Table of Contents

of 04465819 (“FST” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “FST Parties”), and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Chenghe with Chenghe being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and Chenghe will change its name to “FST Ltd.” (the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are referred to as the “Transactions.” A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached as Annex A to the accompanying Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and a copy of the Plan of Merger is attached as Annex A-1 to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement;

• Proposal No. 2 — The Merger Proposal — to consider and vote upon, as a special resolution, a proposal to approve and adopt the plan of merger to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (the “Plan of Merger”) and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation the Merger. A copy of the Plan of Merger is attached as Annex A-1to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement;

• Proposal No. 3 — The Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal — to consider and vote upon, as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to approve, with effect from the effective time of the Merger, the reclassification and re-designation of (a) 200,000,000 issued and unissued Class A ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to 200,000,000 issued and unissued ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each; (b) 20,000,000 issued and unissued Class B ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to 20,000,000 issued and unissued ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each; and (c) 1,000,000 authorized but unissued preference shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to 1,000,000 authorized but unissued ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each (the “Re-designation”) so that following such Re-designation, the authorized share capital of Chenghe shall be $22,100 divided into 221,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each, and immediately after the Re-designation, the authorized share capital of Chenghe be increased from $22,100 divided into 221,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to $50,000 divided into 500,000,000 ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each by the creation of an additional 279,000,000 authorized but unissued ordinary shares of a par value of $0.0001 each to rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares;

• Proposal No. 4 — The Articles Amendment Proposals — to consider and vote upon, as special resolutions, two separate special resolutions to respectively approve, with effect from the effective time of the Merger:

(a) the change of name of Chenghe from “Chenghe Acquisition I Co.” to “FST Ltd.”; and

(b) the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of SPAC currently in effect be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the proposed second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Restated M&A”). A copy of the Restated M&A is attached as Annex H to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement; and

• Proposal No. 5 — The Adjournment Proposal — to consider and vote upon, as an ordinary resolution, a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies if, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting, there are not sufficient votes to approve one or more proposals presented to the shareholders for vote.

Recommendation to Shareholders

The SPAC Board has determined that each of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals is fair to and in the best interest of SPAC and its shareholders and recommended that SPAC Shareholders vote “FOR” each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Merger Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal, and the Articles Amendment Proposals, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, if presented.

In considering the recommendation of the SPAC Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders generally, which could cause them to benefit from and incentivize them to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman

106

Table of Contents

Islands law. SPAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination and did not believe that such interests would preclude them from approving the Business Combination or from recommending the Business Combination to SPAC Shareholders, considering that these interests would be disclosed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. SPAC Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination but will become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Based on the closing price for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares of $11.55 on Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, after giving effect to the Sponsor Sale, the value of the Founder Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor would be $6,930,000;

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $7,900,000 for its 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and that such SPAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA with the Old SPAC Sponsor for the acquisition of an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA, and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, the value of the Founder Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $18,386,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $12,221,366.85;

• the fact that the Sponsors are anticipated to hold 18.10% of issued and outstanding shares of CayCo immediately following the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the exercise of SPAC Private Placement Warrants);

• the fact that given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as compared to the price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants and the substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors will receive upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (as applicable) SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have a negative return on their investment;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed not to redeem any SPAC Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement;

• the fact that the Sponsors will lose their entire investment in SPAC if an initial business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline Date. The Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have not incurred any out-of-pocket fees and expenses in relation to the initial business combination since the SPAC IPO, except that, on October 25, 2023, SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000, and on July 11, 2024, SPAC issued the July 2024 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by them if SPAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investing possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SPAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not

107

Table of Contents

have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, SPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by the Extended Deadline;

• the right of the Sponsors to hold the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

• in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of SPAC to consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify SPAC to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, or such lesser per-public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which SPAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to SPAC, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the Sponsors (including its representatives and affiliates) and SPAC’s officers and directors are, or in the future may become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in similar business to SPAC. For example, the New SPAC Sponsor is controlled by Mr. Richard Qi Li, who is the owner of Chenghe Group Limited, founder and director of Chenghe Capital Management Limited and also serves as a director and the chief executive officer of HH&L Acquisition Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and served as chairman of the board of Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. The SPAC’s chief executive officer, Yixuan Yuan, is chief executive officer and director of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and a Managing Director of Chenghe Group Limited. The SPAC’s chief financial officer, Zhaohai Wang, is chief financial officer of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., and an associate at Chenghe Capital Management Limited. The SPAC’s chairman of the board, Dr. Shibin Wang, served as chief executive officer of Chenghe Acquisition Co. and is chairman of the board of directors of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. The Sponsors and SPAC’s officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target;

• the fact that SPAC’s Sponsors, officers and directors have not received any cash compensation in relation to the Business Combination. Following the Closing, CayCo intends to develop an executive compensation program that will be made by the compensation committee of CayCo and Mr. Richard Qi Li, who controls the New SPAC Sponsor, will become a director of CayCo upon Closing;

• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of SPAC’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

• the fact that SPAC has entered into a registration rights agreement with the Sponsors, which provides for customary registration rights to them and their permitted transferees.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivations in identifying and selecting FST and completing a business combination with FST, and may influence the operation of the Post-Closing Company following the Business Combination by some of them. For more information about SPAC’s business and Sponsors’ shareholding in SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain

108

Table of Contents

Information about SPAC” on page 190. For dilution of non-redeeming SPAC shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe have after consummation of the Business Combination” on page 26.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. For more discussion about executive compensation prior to the Business Combination, see “Executive Compensation — Executive Compensation prior to the Business Combination” on page 251. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Shareholders should also be aware that interests of FST, FST officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to SPAC Shareholders. After Closing, certain FST officers and directors will be appointed as officers and directors of CayCo and certain of them will hold CayCo Ordinary Shares, assuming no redemption, amounting to 20.11% of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Closing. Given the differential in the purchase price that FST officers and directors paid for the FST Shares they hold (i.e., less than approximately NTD 306.20 per share) and the price of the Public Shares and the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares the FST officers and directors will receive upon exchange of the FST Shares, the FST officers and directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if the Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment. See “Beneficial Ownership of CayCo Securities after Business Combination” on page 301. Furthermore, Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their SPAC Shares upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies. See “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — The Business Combination — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 42.

Vote of SPAC’s Sponsors

Pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, each of the New SPAC Sponsor, the Old SPAC Sponsor, and SPAC’s then directors, officers and advisors agreed to vote any SPAC Ordinary Shares, including the Founder Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares, owned by them in favor of an initial business combination of SPAC. Each has also waived any redemption rights, including with respect to SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares purchased in SPAC IPO or in the aftermarket, in connection with the Business Combination. The SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the Sponsors have no redemption rights upon SPAC’s liquidation and will be worthless if no business combination is effected by the SPAC Termination Date. However, the Sponsors are entitled to redemption rights upon SPAC liquidation with respect to any SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares they may acquire from the public market if no business combination is effected by the SPAC Termination Date.

Voting Power; Record Date

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on [•], 2024, the Record Date for the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, will be entitled to vote at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting.

Each SPAC Ordinary Share owned as of the close of business on the Record Date is entitled to one vote. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 5,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding and 2,191,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. All SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares as of the Record Date were held by Sponsors.

Quorum and Required Vote

A quorum is the minimum number of SPAC Ordinary Shares that must be present to hold a valid meeting. The holders of majority of the SPAC Ordinary Shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorized representative or proxy shall be a quorum. Abstentions will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. Broker non-votes will not count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters to be considered at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting. Voting on all resolutions at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting will be conducted by way of a poll vote. Shareholders will have one vote for each SPAC Ordinary Shares owned at the close of business on the Record Date.

Under Cayman Islands law and pursuant to SPAC MAA, each of the Merger Proposal and the Articles Amendment Proposals will require a special resolution, being the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of SPAC Ordinary Shares which are voted on such resolution in person or by proxy at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting at which a quorum is present. Each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of SPAC Ordinary Shares which are voted on such resolution in person or by proxy at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting at which a quorum is present.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions are considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but, as a matter of Cayman Islands law, will not constitute a vote cast at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting and therefore will have no effect on the approval of each of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals as a matter of Cayman Islands law. Broker non-votes do not count as votes cast.

In general, if your shares are held in “street name” and you do not instruct your broker, bank or other nominee on a timely basis on how to vote your shares, your broker, bank or other nominee, in its sole discretion, may either leave your shares unvoted or vote your shares on routine matters, but not on any non-routine matters. None of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting are routine matters. As such, without your voting instructions, your brokerage firm cannot vote your shares on any proposal to be voted on at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

If you are a holder of record of SPAC Ordinary Shares, there are two ways to vote your ordinary shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting:

• By Mail. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting). If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted “FOR” all of the proposals in accordance with the recommendation of SPAC Board. Proxy cards received after the time specified above will not be counted.

• In Person. You may attend the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting and vote in person, including virtually over the Internet by joining the live audio webcast and vote electronically by submitting a ballot through the web portal during the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting webcast. You may attend the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting webcast by accessing the web portal located at [•] and following the instructions set forth on your proxy card.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you are a holder of record of SPAC Ordinary Shares and you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

• You may send another signed proxy card to SPAC Transfer Agent at the address set forth herein so that it is received no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting (or, in the case of an adjournment, no later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the adjourned meeting);

110

Table of Contents

• You may notify SPAC Board in writing, prior to the vote at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, that you have revoked your proxy; or

• You may attend the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting and vote in person, including over the Internet by joining the live audio webcast and vote electronically by submitting a ballot through the web portal during the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, although your attendance alone will not revoke any proxy that you have previously given.

If you hold your SPAC Class A ordinary shares in “street name,” you may submit new instructions on how to vote your shares by contacting your broker, bank or other nominee.

Who Can Answer Your Questions about Voting Your Shares

If you have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ordinary shares, you may call Sodali, SPAC’s proxy solicitor, at +1 (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call at +1 (203) 658-9400, or by emailing LATG.info@investor.sodali.com.

Redemption Rights

SPAC Public Shareholders may seek to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, regardless of whether they vote for or against, or whether they abstain from voting on, the Business Combination Proposal. Any SPAC Public Shareholders may demand that SPAC redeem such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $[•] per share as of the Record Date), calculated as of two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. If a SPAC Public Shareholder properly seeks redemption as described in this section and the Business Combination is consummated, SPAC will redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination.

In order to exercise your redemption rights, you must:

• if you hold SPAC Units, separate the underlying SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants;

• check the box on the enclosed proxy card marked “Shareholder Certification” if you are not acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to ordinary shares; and

• prior to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on [•], 2024 (two (2) Business Days before the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting), tender your shares by either delivering their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to SPAC Transfer Agent or by delivering your shares electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System. Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates should allot sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the SPAC Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is understood that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the SPAC Transfer Agent. However, we do not have any control over this process, and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their bank, broker or other nominee to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically.

SPAC Transfer Agent can be contacted at the following address:

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street 30th Floor
New York New York 10004
Attn: SPAC Redemption Team
Email: spacredemptions@continentalstock.com

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SPAC Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, all SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of 15% held by a SPAC Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed for cash. The Sponsors also will not have redemption rights with respect to such shares.

111

Table of Contents

There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. SPAC Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker $80.00, and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

The requirement for physical or electronic delivery prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting ensures that a redeeming shareholder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is approved. If you do not submit a written request and deliver your SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares as described above, your shares will not be redeemed. If you exercise your redemption rights, then you will be exchanging your shares for cash and will no longer own those shares. You will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if, prior to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, you properly demand redemption by following the procedure described above, and the Business Combination is consummated.

Any request to redeem such shares, once made, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is [•], 2024, (two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting), and thereafter, with our consent, until the Closing. Furthermore, if a SPAC Public Shareholder delivered its share certificate and other redemption forms to the SPAC Transfer Agent or delivered its SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System in connection with an election of its redemption and subsequently decides prior to the applicable date not to elect to exercise such rights, it may simply request that the SPAC Transfer Agent return the certificate (physically or electronically).

If the Business Combination is not approved or completed for any reason, then shareholders who appointed to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account. In such case, SPAC will promptly return any shares tendered for redemption by shareholders. If SPAC would be left with less than $5,000,001 of net tangible assets as a result of shareholders properly demanding redemption of their shares for cash, SPAC will not be able to consummate the Business Combination as this is a Closing Condition, unless all parties waive such condition. For further discussion of the net tangible assets requirement, please see “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — What happens if a substantial number of Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?” and “Questions and Answers About the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?”.

The closing price of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on the Record Date was $[•]. The cash held in the Trust Account on the Record Date was approximately $[•] ($[•] per share). Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. There is no assurance that you will be able to sell your SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in SPAC’s securities when you wish to sell your shares.

For a detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations for shareholders with respect to the exercise of these redemption rights, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.” The consequences of a redemption to any particular shareholder will depend on that shareholder’s particular facts and circumstances. Accordingly, you should consult your tax advisor to determine your tax consequences from the exercise of your redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws in light of your particular circumstances.

Appraisal Rights under the Cayman Companies Act

The Cayman Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights will be available and sets the limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available and have been validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost, dissenting shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares as determined by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Regardless of whether shareholder appraisal rights are or are not available, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein. However, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares who elect to exercise appraisal rights will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

112

Table of Contents

In order for Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares to validly exercise their appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Companies Act, they must provide to SPAC prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting their written objection to the Business Combination and a statement demanding the payment for their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, and subsequently comply with all procedures and requirements set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act for the exercise of shareholder appraisal rights.

In essence, that procedure is as follows: (i) as noted above, 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; (ii) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice of such approval to each shareholder who made a written objection; (iii) 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 in respect of all of his shares, including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (iv) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in (iii) 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, her or its shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the dissenting shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the dissenting shareholder such amount; and (v) if the company and the dissenting shareholder fail to agree on a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company must (and any dissenting shareholder may) file a petition with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to determine the fair value of their shares 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.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

SPAC is soliciting proxies on behalf of SPAC Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone, virtually or by electronic means or in person. SPAC will bear the cost of the solicitation.

SPAC has hired Sodali to assist in the proxy solicitation process and will pay to Sodali a fixed fee of $15,000, plus associated disbursements and an amount equal to 6% of certain fees for administration, technology, and research and data services with a minimum charge of $2,500. SPAC will also reimburse Sodali for reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses. SPAC will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions and will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

In addition to these mailed proxy materials, SPAC’s directors and executive officers may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other means of communication. These parties will not be paid any additional compensation for soliciting proxies.

Other Matters

The SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting has been called to consider only the approval of the SPAC Shareholder Proposals and the Adjournment Proposal if presented. If any other matters should properly come before the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting, it is intended that the shares represented by proxies will be voted with respect to such matters in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.

SPAC SHAREHOLDER PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Overview

SPAC is asking its shareholders to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination described in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, including (i) adopting the Business Combination Agreement and (ii) approving the Transactions. SPAC Shareholders should carefully read this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement and Transactions. A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached as Annex A to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Please see the section entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents” for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements. You are urged to carefully read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

SPAC may consummate the Business Combination only if SPAC receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting.

Business Combination Agreement

On December 22, 2023, SPAC entered into the Business Combination Agreement with CayCo, FST and Merger Sub, which provides for the Business Combination and other transactions in connection therewith. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, SPAC will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo, with the shareholders of SPAC becoming shareholders of CayCo, and SPAC will change its name to “FST Ltd.”.

Pursuant to SPAC MAA, holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares may redeem SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in conjunction with a shareholder vote on the Transactions, if certain conditions and procedure requirements are satisfied. See the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the redemption procedure.

Transaction Structure

The Business Combination Agreement provides that at the Closing, in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act, Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and SPAC will be the surviving company and become a wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo.

Pro Forma Capitalization

The pro forma equity valuation of CayCo upon consummation of the Transactions is estimated to be $400,000,000. It is estimated that, upon consummation of the Transactions, assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and none of the holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares demand redemption pursuant to SPAC MAA (and assuming all of the issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants was exercised), the pre-Closing shareholders of FST will own approximately 61.70% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital, the SPAC Public Shareholders will own approximately 6.40% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital and the Sponsors and their respective affiliates will own approximately 18.10% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital. For more details, see the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information.”

The Merger Consideration of the Business Combination

See the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Background of the Business Combination

The terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the Ancillary Documents are the result of extensive negotiations between Chenghe, FST and their respective representatives. The following is a brief description of the background of Chenghe’s previous attempts at a business combination, its negotiations with and evaluation of FST, the

114

Table of Contents

Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the related transactions, after the Sponsor Sale. The following is not intended to be a list of all opportunities initially evaluated or explored or discussions held by Chenghe, but rather to summarize the key meetings and events that led to the signing of the Business Combination Agreement with FST. It includes all information that Chenghe and FST consider material regarding the negotiation of the Business Combination. All dates and times referred to in the following chronology are Hong Kong time unless otherwise indicated.

Prior to the consummation of the SPAC IPO, Chenghe had not selected any business combination target and it had not, nor had anyone acting on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussion, directly or indirectly, with any business combination target.

From the consummation of the SPAC IPO on January 27, 2022 to the date of Sponsor Sale, Chenghe’s previous management team commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. During this search process, the Old SPAC Sponsor evaluated over five (5) potential targets. The Old SPAC Sponsor had not entered into any definitive agreement with any target for a business combination transaction.

On September 1, 2023, J.V.B. Financial Group, LLC, acting through its Cohen & Company Capital Markets division introduced the Old SPAC Sponsor to the New SPAC Sponsor. On September 4, 2023, the Old SPAC Sponsor held an initial teleconference with the New SPAC Sponsor to discuss the Sponsor Sale.

From September 11, 2023 to September 12, 2023, representatives of the Old SPAC Sponsor and the New SPAC Sponsor discussed and negotiated the commercial terms of the Sponsor Sale.

On September 16, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor and the Old SPAC Sponsor entered into a non-disclosure agreement, and representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor received access to Chenghe’s virtual data room.

On September 18, 2023, representatives of White & Case, the legal advisor to the New SPAC Sponsor (and after the consummation of the Sponsor Sale, legal advisor to Chenghe), shared an initial draft of the securities purchase agreement (“Sponsor Sale SPA”) with representatives of the Old SPAC Sponsor and Shearman & Sterling LLP (“Shearman & Sterling”), the legal advisor to the Old SPAC Sponsor.

From September 19, 2023 to the execution of the Sponsor Sale SPA, representatives of the Old SPAC Sponsor, Shearman & Sterling, the New SPAC Sponsor and White & Case had several teleconferences to discuss the comments on the Sponsor Sale SPA.

On September 29, 2023, SPAC, the Old SPAC Sponsor and the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA, pursuant to which the New SPAC Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus the New SPAC Sponsor’s agreement to deposit into the Trust Account (a) on the closing of the Sponsor Sale, $450,000 for due and payable extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and (b) on any other applicable due date, other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

In addition to the Sponsor Sale SPA, the New SPAC Sponsor also entered into the Joinder to the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which the New SPAC Sponsor agreed to become a party to the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 24, 2022 by and among Chenghe, the Old SPAC Sponsor and other parties named therein.

Further, in addition to the Sponsor Sale SPA, the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the joinder to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement pursuant to which the New SPAC Sponsor agreed to become a party to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement dated as of January 24, 2022 by and among Chenghe, the Old SPAC Sponsor and the other parties named therein.

The Sponsor Sale SPA contains customary representations and warranties of the parties, including, among others, with respect to corporation organization, corporate authority, and compliance with applicable laws. The representations and warranties of each party set forth in the Sponsor Sale SPA were made solely for the benefit of the other parties to the Securities Purchase Agreement, and investors are not third-party beneficiaries of the Sponsor Sale SPA. In addition, such representations and warranties (i) were made only as of the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA or such other date as is specified in the Sponsor Sale SPA, and (ii) may have been included in the Sponsor Sale SPA for the purpose of allocating risk between the parties rather than establishing matters as facts.

Table of Contents

On October 4, 2023, Chenghe issued a press release and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to announce, among others, the Sponsor Sale SPA.

On October 6, 2023, the Sponsor Sale was consummated, following which, the Old SPAC Sponsor owns 600,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and no SPAC Private Placement Warrant.

Upon the consummation of the Sponsor Sale, Chenghe’s previous directors, officers and advisors resigned from their positions, and Dr. Shibin Wang, Ning Ma, Kwan Sun and James Zhang were appointed as directors of Chenghe and Zhiyang Zhou was appointed chief executive officer and chief financial officer of Chenghe.

Description of discovery and negotiation process with potential targets by the New SPAC Sponsor

Prior to the closing of the Sponsor Sale on October 6, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor began the process of searching for potential business combination targets for the special purpose acquisition companies that it may sponsor in the future. The New SPAC Sponsor sought to leverage its management team and directors’ professional and personal relationships to source potential targets, including (i) Dr. Shibin Wang (the chairman of the Chenghe Board, who has over 16 years’ experience in sales and trading of structured financial products, cross-border financing and other capital market activities), (ii) the industry connections built through the previous successful de-SPAC transaction led by the New SPAC Sponsor and its affiliates, and (iii) the extensive investment experience of the New SPAC Sponsor’s other affiliates.

In performing their roles at the New SPAC Sponsor and for other positions they hold, the New SPAC Sponsor’s management team and affiliates attended a variety of industry conferences and performed industry research, including, among others, telecommunication, media and technologies (TMT), green energy, biotechnology, fintech in the Asia Pacific region. The foregoing efforts led to the identification of a multitude of potential targets. Representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor contacted and communicated with these third parties for initial informational purposes. During this search process, the New SPAC Sponsor identified and conducted preliminary evaluations of 22 potential targets.

The New SPAC Sponsor’s initial evaluations consisted of a review of each potential target’s business, including but not limited to business due diligence, commercial due diligence, financial due diligence and legal due diligence, and such potential targets are from a variety of TMT, green energy, biotechnology, healthcare and fintech sectors.

Since September 2022, the New SPAC Sponsor and its affiliates entered into non-disclosure agreements (the “NDAs”) with more than 10 potential targets (including FST) that evidenced some or all of the following characteristics: the development of a robust go-to-market strategy, the profitability of the existing operations, the access to sizeable addressable market, the competitive position in the industry landscape, the establishment of thorough and long-lasting intellectual property protections, the creation of a novel technology or technologies, the distinguishing brand presence in local markets, the capabilities of in-house research, development and manufacturing, the scale of operation, and the implementation of necessary operational requirements.

FST’s financial advisor introduced FST to the New SPAC Sponsor as a business combination target that could potentially achieve investment criteria of the New SPAC Sponsor. On July 29, 2023, as part of the New SPAC Sponsor’s initial outreach to potential targets, the New SPAC Sponsor held an initial videoconference with FST’s management team to obtain a further understanding of FST and its management team.

Of the 22 companies that the New SPAC Sponsor evaluated, FST in particular met and exceeded the criteria that the New SPAC Sponsor sought in seeking to identify a potential business combination target for a special purpose acquisition company that it may sponsor in the future. FST is a Taiwanese company engaged in the research and development, production and sales of golf shafts. FST’s product line-up, the historic profitability of its operation, the maturity of its targeted markets, its global brand recognition, and progress in product development, in the New SPAC Sponsor’s view, were sufficient to support their continuous expansion in the local and global markets. The other targets evaluated by the New SPAC Sponsor failed to meet the criteria for the following reasons: (1) the early stage in product development, (2) the uncertainties in commercialization prospects, (3) the needs for additional financing to support further research and development, (4) regulatory uncertainties, and (5) historic financial performance. In particular, of the 10 potential targets with which the New SPAC Sponsor entered into preliminary discussions, they were eliminated for the following reasons: (i) they insisted on a minimum cash condition of the special purpose acquisition company at the consummation of the business combination; (ii) the parties were not aligned on the proposed valuation; and (iii) they have a China-related business which may bring potential regulatory uncertainties.

From September 21, 2023 to September 23, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor, intending to identify a potential business combination target for a special purpose acquisition company that it may sponsor in the future (including Chenghe, for which the New SPAC Sponsor was negotiating the Sponsor Sale with the Old SPAC Sponsor at the time), visited representatives of FST in Taiwan. On September 22, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor attended a meeting with FST’s management team discussing a potential business combination transaction.

From September 25, 2023 to September 27, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor, White & Case, FST and Landi Law Firm, the legal advisor to FST, discussed and negotiated a draft letter of intent, including key issues, such as valuation, Chenghe’s right to nominate certain number of board members to the combined company, and payment of extension expenses.

In negotiating the LOI, the New SPAC Sponsor’s representatives, advised by its financial advisor, based their valuation of FST on several factors, including, but not limited to, (i) detailed review, and where appropriate, adjustment, of company-provided financial projections; (ii) a discounted cash flow modeling exercise; and (iii) benchmarking analysis against publicly trading peers in the market, as well as sector-relevant SPAC deals announced but not yet closed.

On September 27, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor and FST entered into a letter of intent (the “FST LOI”). The FST LOI provided for, among other things, (i) a pre-money equity valuation of FST at US$350 million to US$450 million; (ii) no minimum cash requirement as a condition to closing; and (iii) after the definitive agreement is signed, FST shall pay Chenghe approximately US$70,000 to US$80,000 per month for extension related expenses.

In the week following the execution of the FST LOI, the parties discussed and agreed on a work plan to (i) conduct legal, finance, business and tax due diligence with FST, (ii) prepare and implement transaction structure, and (iii) prepare and negotiate definitive agreements, including the business combination agreement and ancillary documents.

On October 4, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor (and subsequently after the consummation of the Sponsor Sale, Chenghe) engaged Lee and Li, Attorneys-at-Law (“Lee and Li”), as its Taiwan counsel, and Maples and Calder (Hong Kong) LLP (“Maples”), as its Cayman Islands counsel.

From October to December of 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor received access to FST’s virtual data room and a series of emails, calls and materials were exchanged between Chenghe and FST. These exchanges included discussions of strategic, commercial and capital-raising plans and the transaction structure for implementing a business combination between FST and Chenghe.

From October 4, 2023 to the execution of the Business Combination Agreement on December 22, 2023, representatives of the New SPAC Sponsor, White & Case, Lee and Li and Maples continued legal due diligence on FST, including, but not limited to, corporate structure, historical financing activities, data and privacy, intellectual property, material contracts, litigation, real and personal properties, employee matters, antitrust and compliance. During this process, White & Case and Lee and Li circulated six rounds of supplemental legal due diligence request list to FST and Landi Law Firm, and reviewed all responses relating thereto and highlighted key legal issues with Chenghe’s management.

From October 5, 2023 to December 9, 2023, representatives of Chenghe or the New SPAC Sponsor (as applicable), FST, White & Case, Lee and Li, and Landi Law Firm, together with Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu (“Deloitte”), Chenghe’s tax advisor engaged by Chenghe on October 6, 2023, discussed the preliminary transaction structure via various teleconferences and reviewed the transaction structure proposal from a US, Taiwan, and Cayman tax perspective. They also exchanged multiple drafts of the transaction structure proposal to reflect the discussions and feedbacks from Chenghe, FST, and their respective financial, tax and legal advisors regarding the transaction structures.

From October 16, 2023 to October 18, 2023, representatives of FST visited representatives of Chenghe in Hong Kong to discuss the transaction timeline and the work plan of the proposed business combination between FST and Chenghe.

On November 17, 2023, representatives of White & Case shared an initial draft of the Business Combination Agreement with representatives of FST and Landi Law Firm, which reflected, among other items, (i) a pre-money equity valuation of FST at US$400 million on a fully diluted basis; (ii) that CayCo, FST and a newly incorporated

117

SPAC Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination and Recommendations

The SPAC Board, in evaluating the transaction with FST, consulted with its legal counsel and financial and other advisors. In reaching its decision (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable, fair to and in the best interests of, SPAC and its shareholders, and (ii) to recommend that the shareholders approve the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination, the SPAC Board considered and evaluated a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. The independent directors of SPAC Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders to negotiate the terms of the Business Combination and/or prepare a report concerning the approval of the Business Combination.

Before reaching its decision, the SPAC Board reviewed the results of management’s due diligence, which included:

• research on industry trends, competitive landscape and other industry factors;

• benchmarking versus comparable companies on historical financial and operational performance;

• extensive meetings and calls with FST management team and representatives regarding operations, major suppliers and financial prospectus, among other customary due diligence matters;

• review of FST’s material business contracts and certain other legal and commercial diligence;

• review of FST’s business model and historical financial statements, among other financial information; and

• discussions with external advisors and review reports related to legal diligence prepared by external advisors.

In light of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, the SPAC Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that the SPAC Board considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The SPAC Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by the SPAC Board. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. The SPAC Board realized that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed in the following reasons. This explanation of the SPAC Board’s reasons for approving the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

The SPAC Board reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by SPAC’s management and by SPAC’s financial and legal advisors, and considered a number of factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Table of Contents

The SPAC Board concluded that FST meets the criteria that SPAC was seeking to identify in an appropriate target and represents an attractive business combination partner for SPAC. In particular, SPAC Board considered the following positive factors, among others:

• FST’s Past Performance and Growth Potential. From the introduction of FST’s first steel shaft, FST has repeatedly proven its ability to adapt and innovate through challenging and changing times as demonstrated by a consistent track record of generating growth and long-term value for over 30 years. FST is a leading supplier of premium golf shafts to top global golf club original equipment manufacturers and distributors. FST is also a leading supplier of premium golf shafts to a growing direct-to-consumer market where shafts are primarily sold through fitting studios that focus on customizing golf clubs for the individual golfer. FST designs, manufactures, and markets golf club shafts under the widely-recognized KBS brand. Its shafts are adopted and played by many golf professionals on various professional golf tours around the world, including by multiple Masters, US Open, British Open, and PGA Championship champions. SPAC Board believes FST is one of a few golf shaft companies in the world that is capable, within its own facilities, of manufacturing golf shafts in large quantities at a consistently high quality. This competitive advantage allows FST to design, develop, and manufacture shafts for its customers in the quantity, quality, and the specific variety that is demanded by the global golf club brands and the growing direct-to-consumer markets. SPAC Board believes that the golf industry will continue to see growth in the coming years as the global affluent class continues to grow in numbers and through the introduction of new and innovative ways to play golf, and with FST’s capabilities and competitive advantages, FST will continue to increase market share and generate significant growth in the years to come.

• Business Opportunities. SPAC Board considered FST’s opportunities for future growth, including opportunities for gaining greater market share in golf shaft market, opportunities for growth of its shaft sales to currently underserviced countries and the opening of further KBS Golf Experience stores worldwide. The KBS Golf Experience stores are part of FST’s strategy to further develop and grow its presence in the direct-to-consumer golf shaft markets. SPAC Board expects that FST will be able to continue its products and services customization strategy and to enhance the vertical integration of its manufacturing and sales functions, to differentiate itself from direct competitors and golf brand companies.

• Strong Existing Management Team. SPAC Board considered FST’s existing management team of industry veterans, all of whom have been instrumental in FST’s record business results that will continue on FST post-Closing and provide valuable continued insight.

• Continued Support by Existing Shareholders. SPAC Board considered that major FST Shareholders had agreed to have their ownership subjected to lock-up agreements and existing FST shareholders will continue to own 61.70% of CayCo post-Closing (assuming no redemptions and the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants). These are strong signs of FST’s existing shareholders’ confidence in CayCo and the benefits to be realized as a result of the Business Combination.

• Lock-up. Major shareholders of FST have agreed to be subject to lock-up restrictions for at least six (6) months following the consummation of the Business Combination in respect of their equity interests in CayCo (subject to certain customary exceptions).

• Due Diligence. SPAC conducted a due diligence review of FST and its business, including review of relevant documentation and discussions with FST management and SPAC’s financial and legal advisors. Through SPAC’s detailed due diligence investigation, SPAC Board and management had knowledge of, and were familiar with, FST’s business, operation and financial condition, intellectual property, business model and material business relationships.

• Other Alternatives. Having reviewed other potential business combination opportunities available to SPAC, SPAC Board believes that the Business Combination presents the most attractive business combination opportunity available to SPAC based on the process it utilized to evaluate such other potential business combination opportunities and the belief that such process has not yielded more attractive alternatives, taking into account the potential risks, rewards and uncertainties associated with potential alternatives.

Table of Contents

• Negotiated Transaction. The financial and other terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligations and the termination provisions, were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between SPAC and FST, and SPAC Board believes that such terms are reasonable and fair to SPAC Shareholders.

• Independent Directors’ Role. SPAC Board is comprised of a majority of independent directors who are not affiliated with the Sponsors or their affiliates. The independent directors evaluated and approved, as members of SPAC Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

In the course of its deliberation, SPAC also considered a variety of risks and uncertainties relevant to the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Business and Industry Risks. FST operates in a highly competitive industry. In the premium golf shaft sector, some FST’s competitors are more well-known and have considerably more financial resources. In the standard and economy golf shaft sector, some FST’s competitors have more aggressive pricing strategies and lower labor costs. There is no guarantee that FST is able to maintain the competitiveness of its KBS brand and, in general, its competitive positioning in the industry. In addition, FST’s business will likely be impacted by the general economic condition, interest rate, discretionary spending level of retail customers, and popularity of the sport of golf, none of which FST has control over.

• Financial Risk. The projected financial information referenced or considered in connection with the Business Combination was prepared and provided by FST, reflecting currently available estimates and assumptions, presents the expected implementation of FST’s business plan and the expected future financial performance. Such projected financial information is subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the unaudited projected financial information, including, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to FST’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions, and risks and uncertainties relating to any acquisition of other golf shaft manufacturers, including, but not limited to, transaction costs, diversion of management’s resources and attention, potential impairment of goodwill, failure to realize cost-saving benefits and/or synergies. For the avoidance of doubt, FST has not engaged in any discussion with any other company in relation to potential acquisition, merger, or other forms of business combination. There is no guarantee that FST will move forward with any business combination transactions. Such information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

• Benefits Not Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved, or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

• Termination Date. The risk that the Business Combination may not be consummated by the earlier of SPAC Termination Date or January 26, 2025, upon the occurrence of which the Business Combination Agreement may be terminated; provided that the right to terminate is not available to a party where the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date is caused by a failure of such party to perform and comply in all material respects with its covenants and agreements that are required to be performed or complied with at or prior to the Closing.

• Liquidation of SPAC. The risks and costs to SPAC if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in SPAC being unable to effect a business combination by the SPAC Termination Date, and force it to liquidate and the SPAC Warrants to expire worthless.

• No Survival of Remedies for Breach of Representations, Warranties or Covenants of FST. The risk that SPAC will not have any surviving remedies against FST after the Closing to recover for losses as a result of any inaccuracies or breaches of representations, warranties or covenants of FST set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. As a result, following the Closing, SPAC Shareholders will not have the ability to recover for the amount of any damages resulting from a breach of FST representations,

123

Table of Contents

warranties or covenants set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. SPAC Board determined that this structure was appropriate and customary in light of the fact that several similar transactions include similar terms.

• Shareholder Vote. The risk that SPAC Shareholders may fail to provide the respective votes necessary to complete the Business Combination.

• Redemptions. The risk that holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares may redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash in connection with the Business Combination, thereby reducing the amount of cash available to SPAC and potentially resulting in an inability to consummate the Business Combination if the available cash in the Trust Account is less than $5,000,001, unless such Closing Condition is waived by all parties pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

• Closing Conditions. The fact that completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain Closing Conditions that are not within SPAC’s control.

• Transaction Litigation. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

• Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing CayCo, a privately held entity, for the applicable disclosure, controls and listing requirements to which it will be subject as a publicly traded company on the Stock Exchange.

• No Fairness Opinion. SPAC Board did not obtain a fairness opinion from a bank stating that the consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was fair to SPAC from a financial point of view.

• Post-Business Combination Corporate Governance. The amount of equity to be held by FST’s existing shareholders, the fact that existing SPAC Shareholders will hold a minority position in CayCo following consummation of the Business Combination will have the effect of concentrating voting power with the existing FST shareholders, which will limit an investor’s ability to influence the outcome of important transactions, including a change in control.

• Fees and Expenses. The fees and expenses associated with completing the Business Combination.

• Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of FST and the business of SPAC described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition to considering the factors described above, SPAC Board also considered:

• Interests of Certain Persons. The Sponsors, officers and directors may have interests in the Business Combination that are in addition to, and that are different from, the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Public Shareholders (see below subsection entitled “Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination”). SPAC’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of SPAC Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

SPAC Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected SPAC and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, SPAC Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, SPAC and its shareholders.

Summary of Financial and Valuation Analyses of FST

The following highlights the material analyses prepared by Chenghe’s management, with the assistance of its financial advisor, i.e., Revere Securities LLC (“Revere”), and reviewed by Chenghe’s Board in connection with the valuation of FST. The summary sets forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the financial and

124

Table of Contents

valuation analyses performed or factors considered by Chenghe nor does the order of the financial and valuation analyses described represent the relative importance or weight given to those financial and valuation analyses by Chenghe’s Board. Chenghe may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so the valuations implied by the analysis highlighted below should not be taken to be Chenghe’s view of the actual value of FST. Considering the data specified below without considering all financial and valuation analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses of factors, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Chenghe’s financial and valuation analyses and the recommendation of Chenghe’s Board.

While presented with numerical specificity, the financial and valuation analyses prepared by Chenghe’s management are forward-looking and reflect numerous estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, future industry performance under various industry scenarios as well as assumptions for competition, general business, economic, market and financial condition and matters specific to the business of FST, all of which are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Chenghe or FST.

None of FST, Chenghe, or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those discussed. Any estimates contained in these analyses are not necessarily indicative of actual values or predictive of future results or values, which may be significantly more or less favorable than as set forth below. In addition, analyses relating to the value of FST do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which FST Shares may actually be valued upon closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, the assumptions and estimates used in, and the results derived from, the financial and valuation analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. The following information, to the extent that is based on market data, is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Valuation Analysis

In determining FST’s valuation, Chenghe’s management and Board considered the valuation analysis conducted by Chenghe’s management with the assistance of Revere, which was based on Chenghe’s management’s analysis of the following documents and information provided by FST:

(1) the operational, financial and valuation data of comparable companies, trading levels of comparable companies, publicly disclosed information regarding comparable transactions and the materials, including financial information; and

(2) the unaudited financial projection of FST from 2024 to 2028 internally prepared by FST management.

As part of this assessment, Chenghe’s management conducted, with the assistance of Revere, a comprehensive due diligence examination of FST and discussed the financial, technical, operational and legal outlook of FST with FST’s management. It also discussed and reviewed the following valuation analysis with Revere via (A) a discounted cash flow analysis and (B) selected comparable public companies analysis.

A. Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

The Discounted Cash Flow Analysis (the “DCF Analysis”) approach is a valuation technique that provides an estimation of the value of a business based on the cash flows that a business can be expected to generate. The DCF Analysis begins with an estimation of the annual cash flows the subject business is expected to generate over a discrete projection period. The estimated cash flows for each of the years in the discrete projection period are then converted to their present value equivalents using a weighted cost of capital that account for expectation of rate of return of shareholders. The present value of the estimated cash flows is then added to the present value equivalent of the residual/terminal value of the business at the end of the discrete projection period to arrive at an estimate of value.

Chenghe’s management and Revere performed a DCF Analysis of the estimated future unlevered free cash flows attributable to FST for the fiscal years of 2024 through 2028. The projections were prepared by FST management for the purpose of valuating its ordinary share equity so as to serve as a reference for FST’s investment decision-making. Chenghe’s management and Revere have reviewed and discussed the projections. FST management believes that projections of five years are an industry standard within the financial valuation services industry for a DCF Analysis. In applying the DCF Analysis, Revere relied on the financial projections prepared by the FST management team that

125

Table of Contents

took into consideration (i) the expected recovery of market demands, the planned acquisition, the expected synergies from such acquisition, the estimated product price, product pipeline, operating expenses, capital expenditure needed for the acquisition, (ii) the expected annual compounded growth rate of the golf industry from 2023 to 2027 of 3.2%, and (iii) the market size, market penetration rates and projected revenue, as detailed below. However, since the financial projections cover multiple years, such information by its nature becomes less reliable with each successive year. These financial projections are subjective in many respects and thus are susceptible to multiple interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments. The projections are forward-looking statements that are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond FST’s control. As a result, there can be no assurance that the projected results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than projected.

FST does not, as a matter of general practice, publicly disclose long-term forecasts or internal projections as to future revenues, earnings or other results due to, among other reasons, the uncertainty, unpredictability and subjectivity of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, during the due diligence process and prior to approval by the Chenghe board of directors on December 15, 2023, and the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and related agreements, FST provided Chenghe with recently prepared, internal unaudited financial projections for the year ended December 31, 2028, which reflected FST management’s review about its future performance as of September 30, 2023, the benchmark date of FST’s projections. The financial projections presented in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement constitute the entirety of the financial forecasts presented to the Chenghe Board in approving the Business Combination. The decision to prepare projections of 2028 was based on FST management’s assessment that such time period includes the expected inflection point of FST’s revenue growth.

The inclusion of the financial projections should not be deemed an admission or representation by Chenghe, or FST or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, advisors, or other representatives with respect to such financial projections. The financial projections are not included to influence your views or induce your votes on the Business Combination and are summarized in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement solely to provide shareholders access to certain non-public information considered by the Chenghe Board in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination. The information from the financial projections should be evaluated, if at all, in conjunction with the historical financial statements and other information regarding FST in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

None of Chenghe or any of its affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or other representatives can provide any assurance that actual results of FST will not differ from the projected financial information, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update, or otherwise revise or reconcile, the projected financial information to reflect circumstances existing after the date the projected financial information was generated or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the projected financial information, as applicable, are shown to be in error. Except as required by applicable securities laws, Chenghe does not intend to make publicly available any update or other revision to the projected financial information, even in the event that any or all assumptions are shown to be in error.

The projected financial information was not prepared with a view toward complying with the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and not prepared with a view toward public disclosure, but, in the view of Chenghe’s management and Revere, reflected then available estimates and assumptions, was prepared on a reasonable basis and presents, to the best of FST management’s knowledge and belief, the expected implementation of FST’s business plan and the expected future financial performance, in each case at the time such information was provided to Chenghe’s management and Revere, which may be different from the information currently available as of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. As such, this information is not fact and should not be relied upon as being necessarily indicative of future results, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the prospective financial information.

The projected financials were prepared by FST’s management in December 2023. Chenghe’s management was not involved in the development of any of the below FST projections and assumptions, and independently discussed, reviewed, confirmed or verified a limited number of such assumptions, or the reasonableness thereof. No independent auditors have audited, reviewed, examined, compiled nor applied agreed-upon procedures with respect to the financial projections and, accordingly, neither FST’s nor Chenghe’s independent auditors express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto or its achievability, and each assumes no responsibility for, and disclaims any association with, the financial

projections. The historical financial information of FST used by FST as the base for the projection was prepared using International Financing Reporting Standards and not reviewed or audited by FST’s nor Chenghe’s independent auditors and, accordingly, FST’s and Chenghe’s independent auditors disclaim any responsibility associated with such historical financial information. The main difference on net loss/income between using the International Financing Reporting Standards and U.S. GAAP was due to the impairment loss on long-term investment of USD 466,262 under U.S. GAAP for the year ended December 31, 2023: according to U.S. GAAP, for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, FST measured the equity investment at cost minus impairment, if any, and the impairment was recognized through profit or loss, in accordance with ASC topic 321; while according to International Financing Reporting Standards, this equity investment was classified as equity financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, which means gain and loss was recognized in other comprehensive income. The impact of using historical financial information prepared by International Financing Reporting Standards was immaterial quantitatively and non-operating in nature for the projection.

Some of the material assumptions in the model provided by FST included total revenue of approximately $58.54 million, $104.87 million, $117.11 million, $133.31 million and $139.97 million for the years 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. Capital expenditure of FST estimates to be approximately $(1.74) million, $(25.43) million, $(4.78) million, $(5.41) million and $(1.38) million for the years 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. Change in net working capital of FST estimates to be approximately $0.67 million, $(20.16) million, $14.47 million, $(21.89) million and $(2.20) million for the years 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively. The projections were prepared by FST management based on a variety of material assumptions and beliefs that are estimates based on, among other things, FST’s historical financial and operational performance, business plans, industry and market data and competitive analyses that FST believed were accurate as of the time the projections were made.

The projections are in line with FST’s historical operating trends of growth: FST expected its revenue in 2023 would decrease from that in 2022 because of its customers’ adjustment in inventory level. FST expected that with its launch of carbon fiber putter in 2023, the revenue level would rebound in 2024. FST plans to acquire other players in the golf shaft industry to increase its production capacity and production scale in 2025. FST expects that its revenue would increase with an increase in its operational scale as a result of such acquisition, in line with historic increases of revenue when FST had expanded production organically. For example, after FST acquired additional production equipment in 2021 and put them into use in the second quarter of 2022, a 5% increase in production capacity from 2021 to 2022 coincided with approximately a 37.5% increase in revenue in the same period. FST believes that with increased scale and its expanded product line, it would be able to maintain growth at or above the growth rate of general golf industry from 2024 to 2028.

For the avoidance of doubt, FST has not engaged in any formal or informal discussion with any other company in relation to such potential acquisition, merger, or other forms of business combination. FST planned to evaluate the general economic condition, growth of golf industry and competition landscape to assess any business combination opportunities. There is no guarantee that FST will move forward with any business combination transaction. In the case that FST decides to not engage in a business combination transaction, FST planned to increase its operational scale through expanding its manufacture facilities and increasing advertising, and research and development spending. There is also no guarantee that any such expansion initiative will result in organic growth in revenue or improvement in competition positioning.

There is no guarantee that the projected revenue growth will materialize, as the future performance of FST is subject to risks and uncertainties relating to acquisitions of other golf shaft manufacturers, including, but not limited to, transaction cost overrun, diversion of management’s resources and attention, potential impairment of goodwill, failure to realize cost-saving benefits and/or synergies, and also risks and uncertainties relating to any expansion of operation, including, but not limited to, delay in ramping up outputs, increased labor and raw material costs, reduction of working capital and increased indebtedness.

(2) Assumption of revenue, operating expenses, capital expenditure, planned acquisition, timing of the planned acquisition, synergies from acquisition were provided by FST management, and are meant to be conservative, with no guarantees that these milestones can be achieved. Capital Expenditure in 2025 consists of acquisition of other companies operating in the golf shaft industry with synergistic operation. There is no guarantee that FST will be able to complete any acquisition and improve its industry competitive position. There is also no guarantee that FST will be able to successfully grow its operation organically if FST was not able to consummate its planned acquisition.

(3) EBITDA represents net income (loss) before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent net income, as that term is defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance.

(4) The terminal FCF growth rate is the constant rate that a company is expected to grow at continuously. This growth rate starts at the end of the last forecasted cash flow period in a discounted cash flow model and goes into perpetuity.

(5) The discount rate refers to the rate of interest that is applied to future cash flows of an investment to calculate its present value.

The prospective financial information was based on the following quantitative assumptions that FST management believed to be material, appropriate and reasonable at the time the financial information was prepared, based on the information FST had at that time:

• Estimation of Total Revenue: FST’s growth rate of operating revenue in 2020 was 16.1%, the growth rate of operating revenue in 2021 was 39.0%, and the growth rate of operating revenue in 2022 was 37.5%. FST management believed that due to the slowdown in global economic growth, the revenue as significantly slowed down due to brand customers’ adjustments to their inventory level. Therefore, the operating revenue declined by 39.7% in 2023. At the same time, with the launch of first carbon fiber putter in the first half of 2023, the full series of carbon fiber putters of FST was completed and it was estimated that the revenue level would gradually return to that of 2022 in 2024. Therefore, it was estimated that the operating revenue

128

Table of Contents

would grow by 93.0% in 2024. It was expected that FST would complete a business combination in 2025 to achieve economies of scale. Therefore, it was estimated that the operating revenue would grow by 79.2% in 2025. It was estimated that the operating conditions would be stable in 2026 and 2027, with a revenue growth of 11.7% and 13.8%, respectively. It was estimated that growth would sustain in 2028 and therefore the growth rate in 2028 would decrease from 5.0% to Taiwan’s long-term average economic growth rate of approximately 2.00%. According to the Taiwan National Statistics, Taiwan’s last 20 years’ long-term average economic growth rate was 3.71%. To be prudent, a 50% discount rate is applied and rounded up to 2.0% as projected long term economic growth rate;

• Estimation of Costs of Goods Manufactured: FST’s operating cost rate in 2020, 2021 and 2022 was 46.1%, 43.1%, and 53.4%, respectively. FST management estimated that the operating cost rate from 2023 to 2028 would fluctuate between 38.0% and 42.2% because FST management expects that the plant capacity utilization rate will improve and lead to some reduction in Cost of Goods Manufactured, as a result of the expansion of FST’s plant capacity into the land and buildings located in Minxiong Township of Chiayi County, Taiwan which FST purchased in July 2023;

• Estimation of Operating Expenses: FST’s operating expense rate in 2020, 2021 and 2022 was 41.2%, 35.1% and 32.3%, respectively. FST estimated that the operating expense rate from 2023 to 2028 would descend from 49.6% and 22.1% because FST management expects that increases in expected revenues from 2023 to 2028 will lead to a reduction in the operating ratio as revenues increase relative to Operating Expenses;

• Estimation of Working Capital: The key items include notes receivables, accounts receivables, inventory, notes payable and accounts payable. Based on experience, FST management estimated that the turnover days of accounts receivables, inventory and payables from 2023 to 2028 would be approximately 42 to 76 days, 88 to 363 days and 18 to 33 days, respectively;

• Estimation of Capital Expenditures: FST management estimated that there would be a capital expenditure of NT$400,480,000 (US$13,079,033), NT$54,396,000 (US$1,741,229), NT$794,435,000 (US$25,430,058), NT$149,265,000 (US$4,778,009) and NT$169,054,000 (US$5,411,460), respectively, from 2023 to 2027, associated with the acquisition in July 2023 of land and buildings located in Minxiong Township of Chiayi County, Taiwan to expand FST’s plant capacity. From 2028, it was estimated that only fixed maintenance costs would be incurred, resulting in a lower capital expenditure;

However, important factors that may affect actual results and cause the results reflected in the prospective financial information not to be achieved include, among other things, risks and uncertainties relating to FST’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. Furthermore, the financial projections do not take into account any circumstances or events occurring after December 2023, the date they were prepared. You should review the financial statements of FST included in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, as well as the financial information in the sections entitled “FST Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Financial Information” in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. You should not rely on any single financial measure.

In addition, the projections were prepared and provided prior to the announcement of the Business Combination, treating FST on a standalone basis, without giving effect to, and as if FST never contemplated, the Business Combination, including the impact of negotiating or executing the transaction, the expenses that will be incurred in connection with consummating the transactions, the effect and cost of operating a public company, the effect of any business or strategic decision or action that has been or will be taken as a result of the Merger Agreement being executed, or the effect of any business or strategic decisions or actions that would likely have been taken if the Merger Agreement had not been executed but which were instead altered, accelerated, postponed or not taken in anticipation of the transactions.

The projected financial information was also prepared using the following qualitative assumptions that FST management believed to be material:

• projected revenue is based on a variety of operational assumptions, including among others continued growth in the golf population, the growing participation in golf by the millennials and female, and the continued development of golf in emerging markets, such as PRC and Middle East, the continued development in off-line golf activities, the recovery of economy in major economies, the realization of synergy from acquisitions of other golf shaft industry player, and the reach of economy of scale with increased operation scale;

• FST will be able to grow the brand recognition for its KBS shafts in the United States through opening additional boutiques and collaborating with other golf club brands;

• FST will successfully select, acquire and merge its operation with an acquisition target in the golf shaft industry space, which in turn, will lead to increased manufacturing capacity, cost-savings through economy of scale, increased revenue, and improved industry competitive position;

• FST will complete its planned acquisition within the timeframe as planned;

• FST will be able to continue to develop golf shafts accepted and liked by the golf community, and design new golf shafts for the growing niches in the market, such as millennials, who are more cost-sensitive, and females, who prefer light weight shafts;

• FST will be able to successfully market its products in other markets, such as Europe, Japan, Korea, China and Middle East, each may have difference customer preferences as compared with the United States;

• FST will be able to manage its cost of operation and realize cost-saving after its planned acquisition. Reduction in costs associated with manufacturing overhead, warranty and logistics are taken into consideration as well; and

• other key assumptions impacting profitability projections including headcount, third party contractors, engineering consulting and prototyping spend, but excluding costs associated with public company operations and compliance.

B. Selected Comparable Public Company Analysis

To calculate the equity value of the operating business, Chenghe’s Board and Revere first obtained share price (as of December 14, 2023) and the Equity Value of three (3) comparable public companies identified by Revere as having the most similarities to FST. The public company comparables were selected using the following criteria: (i) companies that were listed on a major U.S. exchanges and Taiwanese exchanges, including Nasdaq and the NYSE, and various Taiwanese exchanges, (ii) companies that operate in the general golf industry (including manufacturers of golf clubs, golf balls and other golf equipment), and (iii) companies that operate in major golf markets (including the U.S., Europe, Japan and Korea). Revere did not exclude any companies that met the selection criteria from the analysis.

• Acushnet Holdings Corp. (NYSE: GOLF) — a U.S. company that engaged in the design, development, manufacture, and distribution of golf products. Its product category includes golf balls, golf shoes, golf clubs, wedges, putters, golf gloves, golf gear and golf wear.

• Topgolf Callaway Brands Corp. (NYSE: MODG) — a U.S. company that provides golf entertainment experiences, designs and manufactures premium golf equipment, and sells golf and active lifestyle apparel and other accessories

• Fusheng Precision Co., Ltd (TWSE: 6670) — a Taiwanese company that engages in the business of exporting high-quality golf club heads, carbon fiber golf shafts, golf club assembled sets, baseball, and softball bats, and industrial precision parts. It also produces aerospace and automotive precision parts.

None of the above comparable companies has characteristics identical to FST. The selected companies have different product portfolios. An analysis of selected comparable companies is not purely quantitative, rather, it involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial and operating characteristics of the selected comparable companies and other factors that could affect the public trading values of the companies reviewed.

In conducting comparable companies valuation analysis, Revere calculated the Forward 2024 P/E Multiples and Forward 2025 P/E Multiples of the three comparable public companies based on public data sourced from database such as Refinitiv, Pitchbook and Bloomberg. Revere then calculated the Forward 2024 EV/EBITDA Multiples and Forward 2025 EV/EBITDA Multiples of the three comparable public companies based on public data sourced from database such as Refinitiv, Pitchbook and Bloomberg.

The median Forward 2024 P/E Multiples is 20.1x, and the median Forward 2025 P/E Multiples is 19.1x. The median Forward 2024 EV/EBITDA Multiples is 8.6x and the median Forward 2025 EV/EBITDA Multiples is 7.8x.

Under the P/E approach, the Equity Value of FST is US$509.1 million, which is the product of the projected net income of FST in 2025 of $26.6 million and the median Forward 2025 P/E Multiples.

Under the EV/EBITDA approach, the Enterprise Value of FST is US$321.8 million, which the product of the projected EBITDA of FST in 2025 of US$41.5 million and the median Forward 2025 EV/EBITDA Multiples.

Based on discussions with FST management and commercial and financial due diligence, Chenghe’s management and Revere determined that 2025E is an appropriate benchmark year for calculating FST’s EV because this is the fiscal year that FST expects it will reach economy of scales by acquiring another industry player to reduce its operation costs and increased revenue through combined operations.

Chenghe’s management believed that it was inappropriate to, and therefore did not, rely solely on the quantitative results of the selected comparable company valuation analysis. Accordingly, Chenghe’s management also made qualitative judgments, based on its experience and its professional judgment, concerning differences between the operations, business and/or financial characteristics of FST and the selected comparable companies to provide a context in which to consider the results of the quantitative analysis.

C. Conclusion and recommendation of Chenghe’s Board

Have considered the foregoing, Chenghe’s management, with the assistance of Revere, concluded that FST was an attractive business combination target, as it has a sizeable and profitable business, its existing products are well received by the market and Chenghe’s management regards FST at the inflection point of its business growth.

The values derived from the different analysis above show a range between $317.6 million to $509.1 million. The consideration to be received by FST’s shareholders in the Business Combination to be paid by CayCo of $400 million is in the middle of the range of valuation ranges of the analyses.

Chenghe’s Board reviewed and discussed the valuation analysis of FST prepared by the management team of Chenghe with the assistance of Revere, and believes that FST has the potential to implement its business development plans and scale up its operations accordingly. Chenghe’s Board believes that after its review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Chenghe and its evaluation of the consequence of liquidation of Chenghe without consummating an initial business combination, the Business Combination with FST represents the best potential business combination for Chenghe and its shareholders, based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets and the liquidation distribution of trust account to the shareholders. On the basis of the foregoing, Chenghe’s Board believes that, in its reasonable business judgement, the valuation analyses supported the pre-money fully diluted equity valuation of FST at $400 million and it’s in the best interest of Chenghe’s shareholders to approve and implement the Business Combination with FST.

The results of the above-referenced analyses supported Chenghe’s management’s determination that it was fair and in the best interests of Chenghe and its shareholders, and that it was advisable, to enter into the Merger Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to which Chenghe is, or will be, a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

Benefits and Detriments of the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the SPAC Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware of the following non-exhaustive list of benefits and detriments of Business Combination on Chenghe, and its unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, the New SPAC Sponsor and its affiliates, and FST and its affiliates.

Chenghe and SPAC Public Shareholders:

• Dilution: Upon the consummation of Business Combination, SPAC Public Shareholders will experience immediate dilution of their shareholding in CayCo. Assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage is 100% at the consummation of the FST Restructuring and the exercises of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants at the Closing of the Business Combination, SPAC Public Shareholders will hold (i) approximately 6.40% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital, assuming none of SPAC Public Shareholders demand redemption pursuant to the Chenghe Articles, (ii) approximately 3.31% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital, assuming intermediate redemptions by SPAC Public Shareholders; and (iii) approximately 1.51% of CayCo’s total issued and outstanding share capital, assuming maximum redemptions by SPAC Public Shareholders.

• Potential loss of (or increase in) value of the investment in SPAC: In connection with the SPAC IPO, the SPAC Public Shareholders purchased each SPAC Unit at a price of US$10.00 per unit. If any SPAC Public Shareholder does not elect to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, such SPAC Public Shareholder will receive one CayCo Ordinary Share in exchange for one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share at the Closing. Following the Closing, CayCo cannot predict the prices at which CayCo Ordinary Shares will trade. To the extent that CayCo Ordinary Shares will trade below $10.00 per share, SPAC Public Shareholders will lose a portion, or all, of their investments in SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. To the extent that CayCo Ordinary Shares will be trading above $10.00 per share, SPAC Public Shareholders may receive returns on their investments on SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares upon the disposition of such shares.

New SPAC Sponsor, Old SPAC Sponsor and their respective affiliates:

• Positive return on its investment in SPAC and reimbursement of expenses: The Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares. Pursuant to the Sponsor Sale SPA, the New SPAC Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA, and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale. Pursuant to the Sponsor Sale SPA, the New SPAC Sponsor may transfer up to 250,000 Old SPAC Sponsor Earnout Shares to the Old SPAC Sponsor at the Closing. Assuming the Old SAPC Sponsor receives 250,000 Old SPAC Sponsor Earnout Shares, the Old SPAC Sponsor will hold 850,000 CayCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing of the Business Combination, and the average per share price at which the Old SPAC Sponsor acquires these shares equal to $0.03 per share; the New SPAC Sponsor will hold 2,400,000 CayCo Ordinary Shares upon the Closing of the Business Combination, and the average per share price at which the New SPAC Sponsor acquires these shares is nominal. To the extent that CayCo Ordinary Shares will trade above $0.03 per share, the Old SPAC Sponsor and the New SPAC Sponsor will receive positive return on their respective investments in SPAC. In addition, the New SPAC Sponsor is entitled to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note, if any, only at the Closing of the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding principal amount under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668 and the total outstanding principal amount under the July 2024 Note was $0.

FST, CayCo and their respective affiliates

• Business Combination Expenses: FST and Chenghe expect the Business Combination expenses to amount to approximately $8 million, and as of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $5.63 million in unpaid Business Combination expenses. Assuming none of the Public Shareholders demand redemption pursuant to the Chenghe Articles, it is anticipated that CayCo’s liquidity position following the Business Combination, including the amount of cash on hand, will be approximately $47 million. Assuming

132

Table of Contents

intermediate redemptions by Public Shareholders, it is anticipated that CayCo’s liquidity position following the Business Combination, including the amount of cash on hand, will be approximately $25 million. Assuming maximum redemptions by Public Shareholders, it is anticipated that CayCo’s liquidity position following the Business Combination, including the amount of cash on hand, will be approximately $12.5 million. However, there is no assurance that the Business Combination expenses actually incurred will not exceed the parties’ estimates, which would result in less liquidity available to CayCo at the Closing. There is no assurance that the liquidity available to CayCo immediately after the Business Combination will be sufficient for CayCo to conduct its operations, which could have material and adverse results on CayCo’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

• Public company status; access to capital markets: After the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo Ordinary Shares will be listed on Nasdaq. As a U.S. public company, CayCo will enjoy enhanced visibility in the capital markets, which could help amplify the brand awareness of the KBS brand and increase the revenue of CayCo. In addition, CayCo will be able to raise funds through the U.S. public capital markets, providing it with access to capital to execute its expansion and growth strategies.

• Potential positive return on the investment in FST: FST shareholders had acquired their respective FST shares at a price lower than $10.00 per share. To the extent that the CayCo Ordinary Shares will trade above their per share acquisition price, FST shareholders will receive a positive return on their respective investments in FST.

FST’s Reasons for Engaging in the Business Combination

In deciding to pursue the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement with SPAC as opposed to another type of corporate transaction, FST considered and evaluated a number of factors, including but not limited to, the advantages of the Business Combination over a traditional IPO, enhanced access to capital and liquidity for the Company Shareholders, the benefits of a relationship with SPAC and consideration of the relative benefits and detriments of alternative transactions. In particular, FST evaluated the conditions of the IPO market for companies with FST’s characteristics at the time of entering into the Business Combination Agreement and considered that the transaction with SPAC was likely to provide for greater speed of execution, an increased likelihood that the proposed Business Combination would be completed in light of the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, higher proceeds and the potential for less dilution of the Company Shareholders. FST also considered that, upon Closing, FST would become a public company and the shares of CayCo Ordinary Shares would trade on a U.S. national securities exchange which could provide CayCo with enhanced access to capital to facilitate its growth, as well as greater liquidity to the Company Shareholders. FST also believed SPAC’s management, business experience and access to transactional opportunities could benefit CayCo. Ultimately, FST concluded that the proposed Business Combination represented the best potential transaction for FST to execute its business strategies and create value for the Company Shareholders.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

In considering the recommendation of the SPAC Board to vote in favor of the Business Combination, shareholders should be aware that, the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders generally, which could cause them to benefit from and incentivize them to pursue a business combination with a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders rather than liquidate, subject always to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC’s directors were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Business Combination and did not believe that such interests would preclude them from approving the Business Combination or from recommending the Business Combination to SPAC Shareholders, considering that these interests would be disclosed in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. SPAC Shareholders should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things:

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 3,250,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, which will have a significantly higher value at the time of the Business Combination but will become worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline. Based on closing price for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares of $11.55 on Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, after giving effect to the Sponsor Sale, the value of the Founder Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor would be $6,930,000;

133

Table of Contents

• the fact that the Old SPAC Sponsor paid an aggregate of approximately $7,900,000 for its 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and that such SPAC Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the New SPAC Sponsor entered into the Sponsor Sale SPA with the Old SPAC Sponsor for the acquisition of an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus $450,000 extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Based on the closing price for the Public Shares of $11.55 on the Nasdaq on September 11, 2024, the value of the Founder Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $18,386,133.15, and the value of the Converted SPAC Public Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor would be $12,221,366.85;

• the fact that the Sponsors are anticipated to hold 18.10% of issued and outstanding shares of CayCo immediately following the Business Combination (assuming no redemptions of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the exercise of SPAC Private Placement Warrants);

• the fact that given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and the purchase price that the Sponsors paid for the SPAC Private Placement Warrants as compared to the price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants and the substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares that the Sponsors will receive upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (as applicable) SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the Sponsors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares have a negative return on their investment;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed not to redeem any SPAC Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with the shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement;

• the fact that the Sponsors will lose their entire investment in SPAC if an initial business combination is not consummated by the Extended Deadline Date. The Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates have not incurred any out-of-pocket fees and expenses in relation to the initial business combination since the SPAC IPO, except that, on October 25, 2023, SPAC issued the October 2023 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000, and on July 11, 2024, SPAC issued the July 2024 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668;

• the fact that the Sponsors have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by them if SPAC fails to complete an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline;

• the fact that the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers, and their respective affiliates are entitled to reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in connection with certain activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying and investing possible business targets and business combinations. However, if SPAC fails to consummate a business combination within the required period, they will not have any claim against the Trust Account for reimbursement. Accordingly, SPAC may not be able to reimburse these expenses if the Business Combination or another business combination is not completed by the Extended Deadline;

• the right of the Sponsors to hold the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants following the Business Combination, subject to certain lock-up periods;

• in the event of the liquidation of the Trust Account upon the failure of SPAC to consummate a business combination by the Extended Deadline, the Sponsors have agreed to indemnify SPAC to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share, or such lesser per-public share amount as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which SPAC has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality

or other similar agreement or claims of any third party (other than its independent public accountants) for services rendered or products sold to SPAC, provided that such indemnification will not apply to any claims by a third party that executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account, nor will it apply to any claims under indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act;

• the Sponsors (including its representatives and affiliates) and SPAC’s officers and directors are, or in the future may become, affiliated with entities that are engaged in similar business to SPAC. For example, the New SPAC Sponsor is controlled by Mr. Richard Qi Li, who is the owner of Chenghe Group Limited, founder and director of Chenghe Capital Management Limited and also serves as a director and the chief executive officer of HH&L Acquisition Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and served as chairman of the board of Chenghe Acquisition Co., a Nasdaq-listed special purpose acquisition company. The SPAC’s chief executive officer, Yixuan Yuan, is chief executive officer and director of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., a NYSE-listed special purpose acquisition company, and a Managing Director of Chenghe Group Limited. The SPAC’s chief financial officer, Zhaohai Wang, is chief financial officer of Chenghe Acquisition II Co., and an associate at Chenghe Capital Management Limited. The SPAC’s chairman of the board, Dr. Shibin Wang, served as chief executive officer of Chenghe Acquisition Co. and is chairman of the board of directors of Chenghe Acquisition II Co. The Sponsors and SPAC’s officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target;

• the fact that SPAC’s Sponsors, officers and directors have not received any cash compensation in relation to the Business Combination. Following the Closing, CayCo intends to develop an executive compensation program that will be made by the compensation committee of CayCo and Mr. Richard Qi Li, who controls the New SPAC Sponsor, will become a director of CayCo upon Closing;

• the fact that the Business Combination Agreement provides for the continued indemnification of SPAC’s existing directors and officers and the continuation of the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination; and

• the fact that SPAC has entered into a registration rights agreement with the Sponsors, which provides for customary registration rights to them and their permitted transferees.

None of FST’s directors or officers directly or indirectly hold interests in, are affiliated with, or carry on any business with, the New SPAC Sponsor or Chenghe other than as parties to the Business Combination Agreement. Therefore, none of FST’s directors or officers hold any material interests in the Business Combination that consist of any interest in or affiliation with the New SPAC Sponsor or Chenghe.

The personal and financial interests of the Sponsors, SPAC’s directors and officers may have influenced their motivations in identifying and selecting FST and completing a business combination with FST, and may influence the operation of the Post-Closing Company following the Business Combination by some of them. For more information about SPAC’s business and Sponsors’ shareholding in SPAC, see the section entitled “Business of SPAC and Certain Information about SPAC” on page 190. For dilution of non-redeeming SPAC shareholders, see “Questions and Answers about the Business Combination and the Extraordinary General Meeting — Q: What ownership levels will current shareholders of Chenghe have after consummation of the Business Combination” on page 26.

Table of Contents

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. For more discussion about executive compensation prior to the Business Combination, see “Executive Compensation — Executive Compensation prior to the Business Combination” on page 251. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination.

Shareholders should also be aware that interests of FST, FST officers and directors may be inherently different from the interests of unaffiliated SPAC Shareholders, which could cause them to pursue terms of Business Combination less favorable to non-redeeming shareholders, and they owe no fiduciary duty to SPAC Shareholders. After Closing, certain FST officers and directors will be appointed as officers and directors of CayCo and certain of them will hold CayCo Ordinary Shares, assuming no redemption, amounting to 20.11% of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Closing. Given the differential in the purchase price that FST officers and directors paid for the FST Shares they hold (i.e., less than approximately NTD 306.20 per share) and the price of the Public Shares and the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares the FST officers and directors will receive upon exchange of the FST Shares, the FST officers and directors can earn a positive return on their investment, even if the Public Shareholders have a negative return on their investment. See “Beneficial Ownership of CayCo Securities after Business Combination” on page 301. Furthermore, Chenghe intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to complete the Business Combination, after the payment to SPAC Public Shareholders who have validly redeemed their SPAC Shares upon Closing, and any remaining amount will be used as working capital to finance the operations of CayCo, make other acquisitions and pursue its growth strategies. See “Summary of Registration Statement/Proxy Statement — The Business Combination — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination” on page 42.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

The rules of Nasdaq and SPAC MAA requires that SPAC must consummate an initial business combination with one or more operating businesses or assets with a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (net of amounts of any deferred underwriting discount held in trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement in connection with its initial business combination. Based on the qualitative and quantitative information used to approve the Business Combination described herein, SPAC Board determined that the foregoing 80% net asset requirement was met. SPAC Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition met the 80% net asset requirement.

Regulatory Matters

The Business Combination is not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) the Taiwan DIR Approval and (ii) the filings with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act necessary to effectuate the Business Combination.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to SPAC MAA, a SPAC Public Shareholder may demand that SPAC redeem its SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a SPAC Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, all SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in excess of 15% held by SPAC Public Shareholders, together with any affiliate of such holder or any other person with whom such holder is acting in concert or as a “group,” will not be redeemed and converted into cash.

Furthermore, under the Business Combination Agreement, as one of the Closing Conditions, SPAC shall not redeem Public Shares that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 following such redemptions, unless such condition have been waived by all parties.

136

Table of Contents

SPAC Public Shareholders who wish to exercise their redemption rights must demand that SPAC redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash and tender their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares to SPAC Transfer Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting. SPAC Public Shareholders may tender their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares by either delivering their share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to the SPAC Transfer Agent or by delivering their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares electronically to the SPAC Transfer Agent using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC System. Any SPAC Public Shareholders satisfying the requirements for exercising redemption rights will be entitled to a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (which, for illustrative purposes, was $[•] per share, as of the Record Date), less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses. Such amount will be paid promptly upon consummation of the Business Combination. There are currently no owed but unpaid income taxes on the funds in the Trust Account. If a SPAC Public Shareholder exercises his, her or its redemption rights, then it will be exchanging its shares for cash and will not become a shareholder of CayCo post-Closing. Any request for redemption, once made by a SPAC Public Shareholder, may be withdrawn at any time up to the deadline for submitting redemption requests, which is [•], 20[•] (two (2) Business Days prior to the date of the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting), and thereafter, with SPAC’s consent, until the Closing. If you deliver your share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms to SPAC Transfer Agent and later decide prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting not to elect redemption, you may request that SPAC Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). See the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders — Redemption Rights” for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to convert your shares into cash.

Resale of CayCo Ordinary Shares

The CayCo Ordinary Shares to be issued to shareholders of SPAC in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable under the Securities Act except for shares issued to any shareholder who may be deemed for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act an “affiliate” of SPAC immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time or an “affiliate” of CayCo following the Business Combination or shares otherwise held by signatories of the Lock-up Agreement. Persons who may be deemed to be affiliates include individuals or entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with, CayCo or SPAC (as appropriate) and may include the executive officers, directors and significant shareholders of CayCo or SPAC (as appropriate).

Stock Exchange Listing of CayCo Ordinary Shares

CayCo will use reasonable best efforts to cause, prior to the Merger Effective Time, the CayCo Ordinary Shares to be approved for listing on the Stock Exchange under the proposed symbol “KBSX,” subject to official notice of issuance. Approval of the listing on the Stock Exchange of the CayCo Ordinary Shares (subject to official notice of issuance) is a condition to each party’s obligation to complete the Business Combination.

Delisting and Deregistration of SPAC Securities

If the Business Combination is completed and no other business combination is completed by the SPAC Termination Date, the SPAC Units and the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will be delisted from Nasdaq and will be deregistered under the Exchange Act.

CayCo as a Foreign Private Issuer under the Exchange Act Post-Closing

CayCo expects to remain a “foreign private issuer” (under SEC rules). Consequently, upon consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo will be subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act applicable to foreign private issuers. CayCo will be required to file its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ending December 31, 2024 with the SEC by April 30, 2025. In addition, CayCo will furnish reports on Form 6-K to the SEC regarding certain information required to be publicly disclosed by CayCo in the Cayman Islands or that is distributed or required to be distributed by CayCo to its shareholders.

Based on its foreign private issuer status, CayCo will not be required to file periodic reports and financial statements with the SEC as frequently or as promptly as a U.S. company whose securities are registered under the Exchange Act. CayCo will also not be required to comply with Regulation FD, which addresses certain restrictions on the selective disclosure of material information.

137

Table of Contents

In addition, among other matters, CayCo’s officers, directors and principal shareholders will be exempt from the reporting and “short-swing” profit recovery provisions of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules under the Exchange Act with respect to their purchases and sales of the CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Despite its initial exemption due to its foreign private issuer status, CayCo nevertheless expects to issue interim quarterly financial information publicly and to furnish it to the SEC on Form 6-K.

CayCo as an Emerging Growth Company under U.S. Federal Securities Laws Post-Closing and Related Implications

The SPAC is, and following the Business Combination, CayCo will be, an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, CayCo will be eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in their periodic reports and Registration Statement/Proxy Statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find the CayCo’s securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the CayCo’s securities and the prices of CayCo’s securities may be more volatile.

Post-Closing, CayCo will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of date of its first sale of common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, (b) in which CayCo has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which CayCo is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of the CayCo’s common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last Business Day of its most recently completed second fiscal quarter; and (ii) the date on which CayCo has issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. References herein to “emerging growth company” have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal will require an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and pursuant to SPAC MAA, being the affirmative vote of shareholders holding a majority of the ordinary shares which are voted on such resolution in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting at which a quorum is present.

Recommendation of SPAC’s Board of Directors

140

Table of Contents

SPAC SHAREHOLDERS PROPOSAL NO. 4 — THE ARTICLES AMENDMENT PROPOSALS

Overview

Assuming the Business Combination Proposal is approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting, shareholders are being asked to approve, as two separate special resolutions, respectively with effect from the effective time of the Merger, (a) the change of name of Chenghe from “Chenghe Acquisition I Co.” to “FST Ltd.” and (b) the SPAC MAA be amended and restated by the deletion in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Restated M&A. A copy of the Restated M&A is attached as Annex H to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Amending and restating the SPAC MAA will allow Chenghe to give effect to the name change of “Chenghe Acquisition I Co.” to “FST Ltd.”, as well as alter or remove certain provisions that will no longer be applicable to or as favorable for Chenghe after the consummation of the Business Combination. For example, under the proposed Restated M&A, Chenghe’s corporate existence will be perpetual as opposed to Chenghe’s corporate existence terminating if a business combination is not consummated within a specified period of time. Similarly, the proposed Restated M&A removes certain provisions relating to Chenghe being a blank check company because, after the consummation of the Business Combination, those provisions would no longer be applicable to Chenghe. The proposed Restated M&A also reflects the updated share capital of Chenghe post-Merger as described in more details in “SPAC Shareholders Proposal No.3 — The Authorized Share Capital Amendment Proposal.”

Given that Chenghe plans to delist the SPAC Units and SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares from Nasdaq in connection with the Closing, Chenghe will no longer be subject to reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. As a result, shareholders may be afforded less protection than they otherwise would be if Chenghe’s securities remain listed on Nasdaq. However, because post-Closing, the current SPAC Shareholders will become shareholders of CayCo and Merger Sub will merge with and into Chenghe with Chenghe surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo, any risk relating to Chenghe’s exemption of reporting obligations would not affect current SPAC Shareholders.

The SPAC Board believes that the proposed Restated M&A will contain provisions that are more applicable to and more favorable for Chenghe as a non-public company than those currently in the SPAC MAA.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of each of the Articles Amendment Proposals will require a special resolution under Cayman Islands law and pursuant to SPAC MAA, being the affirmative vote of shareholders holding at least two-thirds of the ordinary shares which are voted on such resolution in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting at which a quorum is present.

Brokers are not entitled to vote on the Articles Amendment Proposals absent voting instructions from the beneficial holder.

The Adjournment Proposal allows SPAC Board to submit a proposal to approve, by ordinary resolution, the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies in the event, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Extraordinary General Meeting to approve one or more proposals presented to SPAC Shareholders for vote. In no event will SPAC solicit proxies to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting or consummate the Business Combination beyond the date by which it may properly do so under the SPAC MAA and Cayman Islands law.

Consequences If the Adjournment Proposal Is Not Approved

In such event, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of a majority of the ordinary shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon and who vote at the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting.

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AGREEMENT AND ANCILLARY DOCUMENTS

The Business Combination Agreement

This section describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms thereof. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. SPAC Shareholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Merger.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure letters (the “disclosure letters”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure letters contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement as characterizations of the actual state of facts about SPAC, FST, CayCo, Merger Sub or any other matter.

Structure of the Business Combination

On December 22, 2023, SPAC, FST, CayCo and Merger Sub, entered into a Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, (i) immediately after the FST Restructuring Closing and at the Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and SPAC will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo; and (ii) SPAC will change its name to “FST Ltd.”

The closing of the Business Combination will be conditional upon, among other things, the FST Restructuring Closing.

FST Restructuring

To maximize CayCo’s control over FST’s business and operations after the Closing and enhance the efficiency of future fundraising, the parties intend to have each existing FST Shareholder exchange the Company Shares held by it, him or her with CayCo Ordinary Shares, so that at the Closing, or as soon as practicable thereafter, CayCo will be the sole shareholder of FST. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo shall have acquired at least 90% of all issued and outstanding Company Shares on or prior to the Closing. Such restructuring is expected to be effected in two phases.

The FST Parties will use their respective best efforts to cause each other counterparties thereto to execute and deliver (i) the Phase I Restructuring Documents with the relevant parties thereto within seventy-two (72) calendar days after the date of the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which CayCo will acquire 55% of the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares, and (ii) the Phase II Restructuring Documents as soon as reasonably practicable and legally feasible and in no event later than thirty (30) Business Days after the Financial Supervisory Commission of Taiwan issues its approval for the termination of the Company’s Taiwan Public Company status. The FST Parties will use their respective best efforts to procure the Company Restructuring Documents to be executed with each of the relevant parties thereto such that the Company Acquisition Percentage shall be at least 90%.

The FST Parties agree that the Company Restructuring Documents shall provide that at the FST Restructuring Closing, CayCo shall issue and allot to each FST Shareholder who has agreed to so subscribe in respective of each Company Share owned by such person, a number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that is no more than the Subscription Factor, subject to any adjustment in relation to the issuance of fractional shares as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement.

143

Table of Contents

The FST Restructuring Closing shall take place one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date or such other time and place as Chenghe and FST may mutually agree.

As soon as practicable and to the extent legally feasible under applicable laws after the Closing, FST shall use reasonable best efforts to enter into and consummate (a) a transaction with CayCo for CayCo to acquire the Company Shares owned by the Company Shareholders who choose not to participate in the FST Restructuring or (b) other alternative transactions to be agreed by Chenghe Investment I Limited and FST. At the consummation of such share exchange transaction, CayCo will be the sole shareholder of FST.

The “Subscription Factor” is a number resulting from dividing (x) the result of the quantity of the Base Equity Value divided by U.S.$10.00, by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares as at the time of calculation. The “Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares” means, without duplication, the aggregate number of Company Shares that are (i) issued and outstanding or (ii) issuable upon, or subject to, (x) the exercise or settlement of any Option or (y) the consummation of any PIPE Investment, if any. The “Base Equity Value” means U.S.$400,000,000. The “Company Acquisition Percentage” means a number, expressed as a percentage, calculated by dividing (x) the number of Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares owned by CayCo immediately after the FST Restructuring Closing by (y) the Aggregate Fully Diluted Company Shares at such time.

Merger

At the Closing, in accordance with the Cayman Companies Act, Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and SPAC will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo.

Effect of the Merger on the Share Capital of SPAC and Merger Sub

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, and in the case of sub-paragraph (b), immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, the following will occur:

(a) each outstanding SPAC Unit, consisting of one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) SPAC Warrant, will be automatically separated and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) SPAC Warrant;

(b) each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and each SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist;

(c) each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (A) issued in connection with the SPAC Class B Conversion; and (B) held as a result of Unit Separation) shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) CayCo Ordinary Share; and

(d) each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a CayCo Warrant, which shall be on the same terms and conditions as the applicable SPAC Warrant.

Closing

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Closing will take place by conference call and by exchange of signature pages by email or other electronic transmission, at a time and date specified in writing by SPAC and FST, which shall be no later than three (3) Business Days after the first date on which all conditions set forth in Article VIII of the Business Combination Agreement have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver thereof) or such other time and place as SPAC and FST may mutually agree in writing.

Regulatory Approvals Related To The Business Combination

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination, are not presently believed to be subject to any federal or state regulatory requirement or approval in the U.S.

The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Business Combination, are not presently believed to be subject to any government regulatory approval requirement in Taiwan, except for the Phase I DIR Approval and the Phase II DIR Approval, which are required to be obtained from Taiwan DIR under Taiwan’s Statute For Investment By Foreign Nationals in connection with the consummation of the FST Restructuring.

Competition and Antitrust

At any time before or after the consummation of the Business Combination, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”), the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (the “Antitrust Division”), non-U.S. competition authorities or others, including in Taiwan and/or Cayman Islands, could take action under antitrust laws with respect to the Business Combination, including seeking to enjoin consummation of the Business Combination, or to condition approval of the Business Combination on the divestiture of assets of SPAC, the Company or their respective subsidiaries or to impose restrictions on the operations of CayCo or its subsidiaries that would apply after the consummation of the Business Combination. Private parties may also bring objections or legal actions under antitrust laws under certain circumstances.

The Business Combination may be challenged on antitrust grounds and, if such a challenge is made, the challenge may be successful. Similarly, the antitrust approvals necessary to consummate the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement may not be obtained and the granting of these approvals may involve the imposition of conditions to such consummation. These conditions or changes could result in the conditions to each party’s obligations to consummate the Business Combination not being satisﬁed prior to the Agreement End Date (which is summarized in the subsection entitled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Termination” elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement) or any extensions thereof, which would give any party to the Business Combination Agreement the right to terminate the Business Combination Agreement without consummating the Business Combination.

Please see the subsections entitled “Covenants of the SPAC” and “Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement for information concerning SPAC’s and the Company’s covenants and closing conditions related to antitrust ﬁlings and approvals.

Geneva Agreement

On November 30, 2023, FST entered into a referral compensation agreement (the “Geneva Agreement”) with Geneva, pursuant to which Geneva agreed to act as the arranger for FST in a potential business combination or merger with a U.S.-listed special purpose acquisition company (“US SPAC”). Geneva’s responsibilities include introducing a US SPAC to FST and facilitating the transaction that could result in FST being listed on a U.S. stock exchange. Under the Geneva Agreement, Geneva is entitled to receive a performance-based fee, which consists of 20% of the excess enterprise valuation above a base valuation of $250 million, capped at 5% of the total enterprise valuation, in the form of shares of FST upon consummation of the merger. As a result of this performance-based fee, Geneva will be issued 2,000,000 CayCo Ordinary Shares at Closing. The agreement does not stipulate any cash compensation, nor does it impose exclusivity restrictions, as FST retains flexibility in its engagements regarding the transaction.

APPRAISAL RIGHTS

The Cayman Companies Act prescribes when shareholder appraisal rights will be available and sets the limitations on such rights. Where such rights are available and have been validly exercised and not effectively withdrawn or lost, dissenting shareholders are entitled to receive fair value for their shares as determined by the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands.

Regardless of whether shareholder appraisal rights are or are not available, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are still entitled to exercise the rights of redemption as set out herein. However, Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares who elect to exercise appraisal rights will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

In order for Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares to validly exercise their appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Companies Act, they must provide SPAC prior to the SPAC Shareholders’ Meeting their written objection to the Business Combination and a statement demanding the payment for their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, and subsequently comply with all procedures and requirements set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act for the exercise of shareholder appraisal rights.

In essence, that procedure is as follows: (i) as noted above, 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; (ii) within 20 days following the date on which the merger or consolidation is approved by the shareholders, the constituent company must give written notice of such approval to each shareholder who made a written objection; (iii) 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 in respect of all of his shares, including, among other details, a demand for payment of the fair value of his shares; (iv) within seven days following the date of the expiration of the period set out in (iii) 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, her or its shares at a price that the company determines is the fair value and if the company and the dissenting shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the dissenting shareholder such amount; and (v) if the company and the dissenting shareholder fail to agree on a price within such 30 day period, within 20 days following the date on which such 30 day period expires, the company must (and any dissenting shareholder may) file a petition with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands to determine the fair value of their shares 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.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a general discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences (i) of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of SPAC Ordinary Shares (excluding any redeemed shares) and SPAC Public Warrants (each a “SPAC Security”), (ii) of the subsequent ownership and disposition of CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants (each a “CayCo Security”) received in the Business Combination and (iii) exercise of redemption rights by SPAC Shareholders. In addition, the following includes a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to SPAC and CayCo.

For purposes of this discussion, because the components of a SPAC Unit are generally separable at the option of the holder, the holder of SPAC Unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and SPAC Public Warrant components of the SPAC Unit. Accordingly, the separation of a SPAC Unit into the one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one SPAC Public Warrant underlying the SPAC Unit generally should not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This position is not free from doubt, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a contrary position. Holders of SPAC Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal, state, local and any non-U.S. tax consequences of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (including any redemption of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) with respect to any SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and SPAC Public Warrant held through SPAC Units (including alternative characterizations of SPAC Units).

This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder (whether final, temporary, or proposed), administrative rulings of the IRS, and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or change, possibly with retroactive effect. This discussion does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential U.S. federal income tax considerations that may apply to a holder as a result of the Business Combination or as a result of the ownership and disposition of CayCo Securities. In addition, this discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders nor does it take into account the individual facts and circumstances of any particular holder that may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences to such holder, and accordingly, is not intended to be, and should not be construed as, tax advice. This summary does not address any tax consequences to investors that directly or indirectly hold equity interests in CayCo prior to the Business Combination. With respect to consequences of holding CayCo Securities, this discussion is limited to holders who acquire such CayCo Securities in connection with the Business Combination or as a result of the exercise of a CayCo Warrant, and with respect to CayCo Warrants, this discussion is limited to holders who hold such CayCo Warrants as a result of their ownership of SPAC Public Warrants prior to and through the Business Combination. This discussion does not address the U.S. federal 3.8% Medicare tax imposed on certain net investment income or any aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than those pertaining to the income tax, nor does it address any tax consequences arising under any U.S. state and local, or non-U.S. tax laws. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding such tax consequences in light of their particular circumstances.

No ruling has been requested or will be obtained from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination or any other related matter; thus, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the U.S. federal income tax treatment described below or that, if challenged, such treatment will be sustained by a court.

This summary is limited to considerations relevant to U.S. Holders that hold SPAC Securities and, after the completion of the Business Combination, CayCo Securities, as “capital assets” within the meaning of section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to holders in light of their individual circumstances, including holders subject to special treatment under the U.S. tax laws, such as, for example:

• banks or other financial institutions, underwriters, or insurance companies;

• traders in securities who elect to apply a mark-to-market method of accounting;

• real estate investment trusts and regulated investment companies;

• tax-exempt organizations, qualified retirement plans, individual retirement accounts, or other tax-deferred accounts;

161

Table of Contents

• expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

• subchapter S corporations, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors in such entities;

• dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies;

• grantor trusts and estates;

• persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

• U.S. persons whose “functional currency” is not the U.S. dollar;

• persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to SPAC Securities or CayCo Securities as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

• mutual funds;

• partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes);

• the Sponsors or their respective affiliates, officers or directors;

• persons who received SPAC Securities or CayCo Securities through the issuance of restricted stock under an incentive plan or through a tax-qualified retirement plan or otherwise as compensation;

• persons who own (directly or through attribution) 5% or more (by vote or value) of the issued and outstanding SPAC Ordinary Shares, or, after the Business Combination, the issued CayCo Ordinary Shares (excluding treasury shares); or

• holders holding SPAC Securities, or, after the Business Combination, CayCo Securities, as a position in a “straddle,” “wash” sale, as part of a “synthetic security” or “hedge,” as part of a “conversion transaction,” or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

As used in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of SPAC Securities, and, after the Business Combination, CayCo Securities received in the Business Combination, that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity that is classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust (i) if a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust, or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership, including for this purpose any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, holds SPAC Securities, and, after the completion of the Business Combination, CayCo Securities received in the Business Combination, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in such partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A holder that is a partnership and the partners in such partnership should consult their own tax advisors with regard to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and the subsequent ownership and disposition of CayCo Securities received in the Business Combination. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on SPAC Securities or CayCo Securities and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of SPAC Securities or CayCo Securities will be in U.S. dollars.

THIS SUMMARY DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OR DESCRIPTION OF ALL POTENTIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION. SPAC SHAREHOLDERS AND WARRANT HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT WITH THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS BY SPAC SHAREHOLDERS AND OF THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF CayCo SECURITIES AFTER THE BUSINESS COMBINATION, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders

1. Generally

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders of SPAC Securities will depend, in part, on (1) whether the FST Restructuring together with the Merger qualify as a transfer of property described in Section 351 of the Code and (2) whether the Merger qualifies as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

Legal counsel to SPAC is unable to opine regarding the qualification of the Merger and the FST Restructuring for the Intended Tax Treatment because of certain legal and factual uncertainties.

There are many requirements that must be satisfied in order for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and/or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, some of which are based upon factual determinations, and the Intended Tax Treatment could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur or are taken after the Merger. One such requirement, among others, for the Merger to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code is that the acquiring corporation continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury regulations Section 1.368-1(d). However, due to the absence of guidance bearing directly on how the above rules apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with no active business and only investment-type assets, such as SPAC, we cannot provide guidance on whether the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. In addition, the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization would depend on whether sufficient shareholders of SPAC exchange their ordinary shares for CayCo Ordinary Shares rather than redeem it for cash. If a significant number of shareholders of SPAC decide to redeem their ordinary shares, the “continuity of business enterprise” requirement that is necessary to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code may not be satisfied. Further, for a transaction to qualify under Section 351 of the Code, persons who transfer property to a corporation in exchange for stock must be in control (as specifically defined under the Code) of the corporation immediately after the exchange. For the transaction to qualify under Section 351 of the Code, shareholders of the SPAC along with the FST Shareholders who subscribe for shares of CayCo in connection with the Company Shareholder Subscription must be treated as part of a single group for purposes of satisfying this control requirement. Due to the funding of the Company Shareholders Subscription and the transitory nature of the cash used in the Company Shareholder Subscription it is not clear whether the FST Shareholders who subscribe for shares of CayCo in connection with the Company Shareholder Subscription would be treated as part of the required control group for purposes of Section 351 of the Code, and thus there is significant legal uncertainty due to a lack of clear authority on point as to whether the Merger together with the FST Restructuring will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code. Due to the absence of guidance bearing directly on whether an acquisition of a corporation with no active business can qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, or whether the FST Restructuring together with the Merger will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Code, legal counsel to SPAC on U.S. federal income tax matters is not able to render an opinion that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code. No ruling has been, or will be, sought by SPAC or CayCo from the IRS with respect to the Business Combination and there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code or that a court would not sustain such a challenge.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AND THE POTENTIAL TREATMENT OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES.

2. If the Merger Qualifies as a Reorganization within the Meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as Part of an Integrated Transaction Governed by Section 351 of the Code

a. With respect to SPAC Ordinary Shares

If the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code and/or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, and subject to the limitations, exceptions and qualifications described herein, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its SPAC Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Business Combination should not recognize gain or loss on the exchange of SPAC Ordinary Shares for CayCo Ordinary Shares. The aggregate adjusted tax basis of a U.S. Holder in the CayCo Ordinary Shares received as a result of the Business Combination should equal the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the SPAC Ordinary Shares surrendered in the exchange. A U.S. Holder’s holding period for the CayCo Ordinary Shares received in the exchange should include the holding period for the SPAC Ordinary Shares surrendered in the exchange.

b. With respect to SPAC Public Warrants

If the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, regardless of whether it qualifies as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code and subject to the limitations, exceptions and qualifications described herein, U.S. Holders of SPAC Public Warrants generally should not recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the deemed exchange of their SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants in connection with the Merger, and such U.S. Holder’s basis in the CayCo Warrants deemed received should be equal to the U.S. Holder’s basis in its SPAC Public Warrants deemed transferred.

If the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code but qualifies as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, the treatment of a U.S. Holder’s exchange of SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants in connection with the Merger is uncertain. It is possible that a U.S. Holder could be treated as transferring its SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants in exchange for CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code. In such case, such U.S. Holder should be required to recognize gain (but not loss), computed on an asset by asset basis with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of gain realized by such U.S. Holder (generally, the excess of (x) the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants or the CayCo Ordinary Shares, as applicable, received by such holder, over (y) such holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SPAC Public Warrants and SPAC Ordinary Shares, as applicable, exchanged therefor) and (ii) the appropriate allocation to the SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Public Warrants, as applicable, of the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants treated as having been received by such holder in such exchange. For purposes of determining the appropriate allocation of the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants describe in the preceding clause (ii), the holder allocates the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants between the SPAC Ordinary Shares and the SPAC Public Warrants based on the proportionate fair market values of the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants exchanged in the Merger. It is also possible that a U.S. Holder could be treated as exchanging its SPAC Public Warrants for “new” warrants (i.e., CayCo Warrants) in a taxable transaction that is distinct from the exchange of SPAC Ordinary Shares for CayCo Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Merger. In such case, the U.S. Holder should be required to recognize gain or loss in such deemed exchange in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants held by such U.S. Holder immediately following the Merger and the adjusted tax basis of the SPAC Public Warrants held by such U.S. Holder immediately prior to the Merger.

U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them of the exchange of SPAC Securities for CayCo Securities pursuant to the Business Combination, and the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code.

3. If the Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization within the Meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as Part of an Integrated Transaction Governed by Section 351 of the Code

If the Merger fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, a U.S. Holder that exchanges its SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants for the consideration under the Business Combination will recognize gain or loss, computed on an asset by asset basis with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants, equal to the difference between (i) the fair market value of the CayCo Ordinary Shares or CayCo Warrants, as applicable, received and (ii) the

164

Table of Contents

U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants, as applicable, exchanged therefor. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants received will be the fair market value of those securities on the date the U.S. Holder receives them. The U.S. Holder’s holding period for the CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants received pursuant to the Business Combination will begin on the day after the date the U.S. Holder receives such CayCo Ordinary Shares and CayCo Warrants. Such gain or loss will be a capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants, as the case may be, exceeds one year at the time of the Business Combination. Long-term capital gains of non-corporate U.S. Holders, including individuals, currently are subject to reduced rates of U.S. federal income taxation. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares have suspended the applicable holding period for this purpose. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations under the Code. Any such gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder will generally be treated as U.S. source gain or loss.

Shareholders who hold different blocks of SPAC Securities (generally, SPAC Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them, and the discussion above does not specifically address all of the consequences to U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of SPAC Securities.

4. Additional Analysis for SPAC Public Warrants

Notwithstanding the discussion above, the SPAC Public Warrants becoming exercisable for CayCo Ordinary Shares, and the SPAC Public Warrant agreements being assigned to, and assumed by, CayCo, may independently constitute a tax-deferred transaction in which no gain or loss is recognized by the U.S. Holders of SPAC Public Warrants (except as provided below under the subsection entitled “— 5. PFIC Considerations”) on the basis that the terms of the SPAC Public Warrants are not otherwise being changed pursuant to the Merger and because the terms of the SPAC Public Warrants, when originally issued, contemplated, among other things, the SPAC Public Warrants becoming exercisable into shares of another corporation under circumstances similar to the Merger. However, due to a lack of clear authority, the issue is not free from doubt, and there is a risk that the warrant exchange transaction would be treated as a taxable exchange of SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants, and no assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, such a contrary position.

If the SPAC Public Warrants becoming exercisable for CayCo Ordinary Shares constitutes a tax-deferred transaction, the adjusted tax basis of the CayCo Warrants of such a U.S. Holder immediately after the Merger generally should be the same as the adjusted tax basis of such U.S. Holder’s SPAC Public Warrants immediately prior to the Merger. In addition, the holding period of the CayCo Warrants of such a U.S. Holder immediately after the Merger would include the period during which such U.S. Holder held such U.S. Holder’s SPAC Public Warrants immediately prior to the Merger.

If the SPAC Public Warrants becoming exercisable for CayCo Ordinary Shares constitutes a taxable exchange of SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants and the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code but qualifies as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, the discussion under the subsection entitled “— 2. If the Merger Qualifies as a Reorganization within the Meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as Part of an Integrated Transaction Governed by Section 351 of the Code” would apply with respect to the SPAC Public Warrants. If the SPAC Public Warrants becoming exercisable for CayCo Ordinary Shares constitutes a taxable exchange of SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants and the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or a part of an Integrated Transaction Governed by Section 351 of the Code, the discussion under the subsection entitled “— 3. If the Merger Does Not Qualify as a Reorganization within the Meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code or as Part of an Integrated Transaction Governed by Section 351 of the Code,” would apply with respect to the SPAC Public Warrants.

5. PFIC Considerations

Regardless of whether the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or whether the Merger qualifies as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, the Merger could be a taxable event to U.S. Holders under the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) provisions of the Code if SPAC is considered a PFIC.

a. Definition of a PFIC

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (generally determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business received from unrelated persons) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually. Pursuant to a “startup exception,” a foreign corporation will not be a PFIC for the first taxable year the foreign corporation has gross income (the “startup year”) if (1) no predecessor of the foreign corporation was a PFIC; (2) the foreign corporation satisfies the IRS that it will not be a PFIC for either of the first two taxable years following the startup year; and (3) the foreign corporation is not in fact a PFIC for either of those years.

b. PFIC Status of SPAC

Based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, taking into account the structure of the Business Combination, SPAC is not expected to be eligible for the startup exception, and thus SPAC is expected to be a PFIC for the 2022, 2023 and current and future taxable years.

c. Effects of PFIC Rules on the Merger

Even if the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging warrants of a PFIC for newly issued warrants in connection with a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code) recognizes gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are currently in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. However, proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code have been promulgated with a retroactive effective date. If finalized in their current form, those proposed Treasury Regulations would require gain recognition to U.S. Holders of SPAC Securities as a result of the Merger if:

(i) SPAC were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in such SPAC Securities; and

(ii) the U.S. Holder had not timely made (a) a QEF Election (as defined below) for the first taxable year in which the U.S. Holder owned such SPAC Ordinary Shares or in which SPAC was a PFIC, whichever is later (or a QEF Election along with a purging election), or (b) an MTM Election (as defined below) with respect to such SPAC Ordinary Shares. Currently, applicable Treasury Regulations provide that neither a QEF Election nor an MTM Election can be made with respect to warrants.

The tax on any such recognized gain would be imposed based on a complex set of computational rules designed to offset the tax deferral with respect to the undistributed earnings of SPAC. Under these rules:

• the U.S. Holder’s gain will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s SPAC Securities;

• the amount of gain allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which SPAC was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

166

Table of Contents

• the amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such year; and

• an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year (described in the third bullet above) of such U.S. Holder.

It is unclear at this time whether, in what form and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such final Treasury Regulations would apply. Therefore, U.S. Holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares that have not made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election (each as defined below) may, pursuant to the proposed Treasury Regulations, be subject to taxation under the PFIC rules on the Merger with respect to their SPAC Securities under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above. A U.S. Holder that made a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election with respect to its SPAC Ordinary Shares is referred to herein as an “Electing Shareholder” and a U.S. Holder that is not an Electing Shareholder is referred to herein as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.”

The application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders of SPAC Public Warrants is unclear. Proposed Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules generally treat an “option” (which would include a SPAC Public Warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while final Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules provide that the QEF Election does not apply to options and no MTM Election (as defined below) is currently available with respect to options. Therefore, it is possible that the proposed Treasury Regulations if finalized in their current form would apply to cause gain recognition on the exchange of SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants in connection with the Merger.

Any gain recognized by a Non-Electing Shareholder of SPAC Ordinary Shares or a U.S. Holder of SPAC Public Warrants as a result of the Merger pursuant to PFIC rules would be taxable income to such U.S. Holder, taxed under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above, with no corresponding receipt of cash.

As noted above, if SPAC is considered a PFIC, the Merger could be a taxable event under the PFIC rules regardless of whether the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code. If the Merger fails to qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code or as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, absent a QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) or an MTM Election, a U.S. Holder would be taxed under the PFIC rules in the manner set forth above.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE EFFECTS OF THE PFIC RULES ON THE MERGER, INCLUDING THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL TREASURY REGULATIONS.

d. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of SPAC Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat SPAC as a “qualified electing fund” under Section 1295 of the Code for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of SPAC Ordinary Shares during which SPAC qualified as a PFIC (a “QEF Election”) or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election. A purging election creates a deemed sale of the U.S. Holder’s SPAC Ordinary Shares at their then fair market value and requires the U.S. Holder to recognize gain pursuant to the purging election subject to the special PFIC tax and interest charge rules described above. As a result of any such purging election, the U.S. Holder would increase the adjusted tax basis in its SPAC Ordinary Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and, solely for purposes of the PFIC rules, would have a new holding period in its SPAC Ordinary Shares. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a timely and effective QEF Election (or a QEF Election along with a purging election) with respect to SPAC is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by SPAC of a “PFIC Annual Information Statement” to such U.S. Holder. SPAC will endeavor to provide PFIC Annual Information Statements, upon

167

Table of Contents

written request, to U.S. Holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares with respect to each taxable year for which SPAC determines it is a PFIC. There is no assurance, however, that SPAC will timely provide such information. As discussed further above, a U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF Election with respect to SPAC Public Warrants under applicable final Treasury Regulations. An Electing Shareholder generally would not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their SPAC Ordinary Shares. As a result, such an Electing Shareholder generally should not recognize income, gain or loss as a result of the Merger, subject to the discussion herein generally under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders,” but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of SPAC, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of SPAC Ordinary Shares may also depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a mark-to-market election under Section 1296 of the Code. U.S. Holders who hold (actually or constructively) stock of a foreign corporation that is classified as a PFIC may annually elect to mark such stock to its market value if such stock is “marketable stock,” generally, stock that is regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC (an “MTM Election”). No assurance can be given that the SPAC Ordinary Shares are considered to be marketable stock for purposes of the MTM Election or whether the other requirements of this election are satisfied. If such an election is available and has been made, such U.S. Holders will generally not be subject to the special taxation rules of Section 1291 of the Code discussed herein with respect their SPAC Ordinary Shares in connection with the Merger. Instead, in general, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its SPAC Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year over its adjusted basis in its SPAC Ordinary Shares. The U.S. Holder also will recognize an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of its adjusted basis in its SPAC Ordinary Shares over the fair market value of its SPAC Ordinary Shares at the end of its taxable year (but only to the extent of the net amount of previously included income as a result of the MTM Election). The U.S. Holder’s basis in its SPAC Ordinary Shares will be adjusted to reflect any such income or loss amounts, and any further gain recognized on a sale or other taxable disposition of its SPAC Ordinary Shares will be treated as ordinary income. However, if the MTM Election is not made by a U.S. Holder with respect to the first taxable year of its holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules discussed above will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to, SPAC Ordinary Shares, including in connection with the Merger. An MTM Election is not available with respect to warrants, including the SPAC Public Warrants.

e. Reporting

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF Election or an MTM Election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS and may result in significant penalties.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), AN MTM ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND WHETHER AND HOW ANY OVERLAP RULES APPLY, AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION OR OVERLAP RULE AND THE IMPACT OF ANY PROPOSED OR FINAL PFIC TREASURY REGULATIONS.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U.S. Holders

In the event that a U.S. Holder elects to redeem its SPAC Ordinary Shares for cash, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale or exchange of the SPAC Ordinary Shares under Section 302 of the Code. Except as provided below related to the potential treatment of SPAC as a PFIC, if the redemption qualifies as a sale or exchange of the SPAC Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as recognizing capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized on the redemption and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SPAC Ordinary Shares surrendered in such redemption transaction. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the SPAC Ordinary Shares redeemed exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. It is unclear, however, whether the redemption rights with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares have suspended the applicable holding period for this purpose. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

168

Table of Contents

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of SPAC Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Except as provided below related to the potential treatment of SPAC as a PFIC, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from SPAC’ current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the SPAC Ordinary Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the ordinary shares. Dividends paid to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations) and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends paid to a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally will constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares may prevent a U.S. Holder from satisfying the applicable holding period requirements with respect to the dividends received deduction or the preferential tax rate on qualified dividend income, as the case may be.

Whether a redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment will depend largely on the total number of SPAC Ordinary Shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder relative to all of the SPAC Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding both before and after the redemption. The redemption of SPAC Ordinary Shares generally will be treated as a sale or exchange of the SPAC Ordinary Shares (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (ii) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in SPAC or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only SPAC Ordinary Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also SPAC Ordinary Shares that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder. In order to meet the substantially disproportionate test, the percentage of SPAC’s issued and outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of the SPAC Ordinary Shares must, among other requirements, be less than 80% of the percentage of SPAC’s issued and outstanding voting shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the shares of the SPAC Ordinary Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the SPAC Ordinary Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other SPAC Ordinary Shares. The redemption of the SPAC Ordinary Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s conversion results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in SPAC. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in SPAC will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, then the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution. After the application of those rules regarding corporate distributions, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed ordinary shares will be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining SPAC Ordinary Shares, or possibly in other SPAC Ordinary Shares constructively owned by it.

However, if a U.S. Holder exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for a portion of its SPAC Ordinary Shares or, if such U.S. Holder exercises its redemption right with respect to all of its SPAC Ordinary Shares but maintains its ownership of SPAC Public Warrants, such redemption may be treated as integrated with the Merger rather than as a separate transaction. In such case, if the Merger qualifies as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and if the redemption is treated as integrated with the Merger (rather than as a separate transaction), cash received by such U.S. Holder in the redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in the reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code (which, depending on the circumstances applicable to such U.S. Holder, may be treated either as (i) capital gain (but not loss) in a manner similar to that described above but not in excess of the amount of cash received or (ii) dividend income to the extent of (although not entirely clear) CayCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits. If the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code

169

Table of Contents

but qualifies as part of an integrated transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, it is possible that such cash, together with CayCo Warrants (if any) received in exchange for SPAC Public Warrants, may be treated as taxable boot received in to the transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code, in which case gain (but not loss) may be recognized on the Merger and redemption, computed on an asset by asset basis with respect to the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants, in an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount of gain realized by such holder (generally, the excess (if any) of (x) the value ) of the CayCo Ordinary Shares received in the Merger and the cash received in the redemption or the value of the CayCo Warrants, as applicable, over (y) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Public Warrants, as applicable, exchanged therefor pursuant to the Merger and/or the redemption) and (B) the appropriate allocation to the SPAC Ordinary Shares or SPAC Public Warrants, as applicable, of the sum of the amount of cash received in the redemption and the value of the CayCo Warrants received in the Merger). For purposes of determining the appropriate allocation of the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants and the cash received in the redemption describe in the preceding clause (B), the holder allocates the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants and the cash received in the redemption between the SPAC Ordinary Shares and the SPAC Public Warrants based on the proportionate fair market values of the SPAC Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants exchanged in the Merger.

In addition, if a U.S. Holder that elects to participate in a redemption with respect to all its SPAC Ordinary Shares maintains its ownership of SPAC Public Warrants, such redemption also may be treated as integrated with the Merger rather than as a separate transaction (with the same taxation effects described in the above paragraph). In such case, even if the Merger were treated as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and no gain or loss generally would be recognized upon the deemed exchange of SPAC Public Warrants for CayCo Warrants, cash received by such U.S. Holder in a redemption may also be treated as taxable boot received in the reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. Under this possible characterization, such U.S. Holder generally is expected to recognize capital gain (but not loss) on such redemption in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the SPAC Ordinary Shares exchanged therefor.

U.S. Holders of SPAC Ordinary Shares are urged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a redemption of all or a portion of their SPAC Ordinary Shares pursuant to an exercise of redemption rights.

PFIC Considerations

As discussed above under the heading “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations,” it is expected that SPAC will be a PFIC for the 2022, 2023 and current and future taxable years.

If SPAC is a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and, that the U.S. Holder did not make either an applicable PFIC election (or elections), as described above under the heading “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations — d. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election,” for the first taxable year of SPAC in which it was treated as a PFIC, and in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or otherwise, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special and adverse rules with respect to (i) any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (such as gain described above if the redemption qualifies for sale or exchange treatment) and (ii) any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder (generally, any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares), including potentially a distribution described above if the redemption does not qualify as a sale or exchange of SPAC Ordinary Shares and the U.S. Holder is treated as receiving a corporate distribution.

Under these rules:

• the U.S. Holder’s gain or excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for such U.S. Holder’s SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares;

• the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the gain or received the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of the first taxable year in which SPAC was a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

170

Table of Contents

• the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in such U.S. Holder’s holding period would be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder without regard to the U.S. Holder’s other items of income and loss for such year; and

• an additional tax equal to the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed on the U.S. Holder in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year (described in the third bullet above) of such U.S. Holder.

As discussed above, if SPAC is considered a PFIC, the impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective QEF Election for the taxable year that is the first year in the U.S. Holder’s holding period of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares during which SPAC qualified as a PFIC (or, if in a later taxable year, the U.S. Holder made a QEF Election along with a purging election) or if the U.S. Holder has made an MTM Election. See the discussion above under the heading “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations — d. QEF Election and Mark-to-Market Election,” for a description of the consequences to a U.S. Holder of making the foregoing elections, which may mitigate the adverse consequences under the PFIC rules as a result of the redemption of a U.S. Holder’s SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF Election or MTM election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS and may result in significant penalties.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING THE RULES RELATING TO CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), AN MTM ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND WHETHER IT WOULD BE DESIRABLE TO MAKE SUCH AN ELECTION.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF A REDEMPTION OF ALL OR A PORTION OF THEIR SPAC ORDINARY SHARES PURSUANT TO AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

Ownership and Disposition of CayCo Securities by U.S. Holders

Distributions on CayCo Ordinary Shares

Subject to the discussion below under “— PFIC Considerations,” if CayCo makes distributions of cash or property on the CayCo Ordinary Shares, such distributions will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes first as a dividend to the extent of CayCo’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and then as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis, with any excess treated as capital gain from the sale or exchange of the shares. Since CayCo does not intend to provide calculations of its earnings and profits under U.S. federal income tax principles, a U.S. Holder generally would be required to treat all such distributions as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Any dividend generally will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations in respect of dividends received from U.S. corporations.

• Subject to the discussion below under “PFIC Considerations,” dividends received by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) may be “qualified dividend income,” which is taxed at the lower applicable capital gains rate, provided that:

• the CayCo Ordinary Shares are readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States;

• CayCo is neither a PFIC (as discussed below under below under “PFIC Considerations”) nor treated as such with respect to the U.S. Holder in any taxable year in which the dividend is paid or the preceding taxable year;

171

Table of Contents

• the U.S. Holder satisfies certain holding period requirements; and

• the U.S. Holder is not under an obligation to make related payments with respect to positions in substantially similar or related property.

There can be no assurance that CayCo Ordinary Shares will be considered “readily tradable” on an established securities market in the United States in accordance with applicable legal authorities. Furthermore, there can no assurance that CayCo will not be treated as a PFIC in any taxable year. See discussion below under “PFIC Considerations.” U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of the lower rate for dividends paid with respect to CayCo Ordinary Shares. Subject to certain exceptions, dividends on CayCo Ordinary Shares will constitute foreign source income for foreign tax credit limitation purposes. If such dividends are qualified dividend income (as discussed above), the amount of the dividend taken into account for purposes of calculating the foreign tax credit limitation will be limited to the gross amount of the dividend, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the reduced rate applicable to qualified dividend income and the denominator of which is the highest rate of tax normally applicable to dividends. The limitation on foreign taxes eligible for credit is calculated separately with respect to specific classes of income. For this purpose, dividends distributed by CayCo with respect to the CayCo Ordinary Shares generally will constitute “passive category income” but could, in the case of certain U.S. Holders, constitute “general category income.” The rules relating to the foreign tax credits are complex and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning their availability in their particular circumstances.

Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of CayCo Securities

Subject to the discussion below under “PFIC Considerations,” a U.S. Holder generally would recognize gain or loss on any sale, exchange, redemption or other taxable disposition of CayCo Securities in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the amount realized on the disposition and (ii) such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such CayCo Securities, as applicable. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable disposition of CayCo Securities generally will be capital gain or loss. A non-corporate U.S. Holder, including an individual, who has held the CayCo Securities for more than one year generally will be eligible for reduced tax rates for such long-term capital gains. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Any such gain or loss recognized generally will be treated as U.S. source gain or loss. In the event any non-U.S. tax (including withholding tax) is imposed upon such sale or other disposition, a U.S. Holder’s ability to claim a foreign tax credit for such non-U.S. tax is subject to various limitations and restrictions. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the ability to claim a foreign tax credit.

Exercise, Lapse or Redemption of CayCo Warrants

Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “PFIC Considerations” and except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a CayCo Warrant, a U.S. Holder generally will not recognize taxable gain or loss on the exercise of a CayCo Warrant. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the CayCo Ordinary Share received upon exercise of a CayCo Warrant generally will be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s initial investment in the SPAC Public Warrant in respect of which the exercised CayCo Warrant was received, any gain recognized with respect to the exchange of such SPAC Public Warrant for the CayCo Warrant, and the exercise price of such CayCo Warrant. It is unclear whether the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the CayCo Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of the CayCo Warrants will begin on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the CayCo Warrants; in either case, the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the CayCo Warrants. If a CayCo Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the CayCo Warrant.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a CayCo Warrant are not clear under current tax law. Subject to the PFIC rules discussed below under “PFIC Considerations,” a cashless exercise may be tax-free, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either tax-free situation, a U.S. Holder’s basis in the CayCo Ordinary Shares received generally should equal the U.S. Holder’s basis in the CayCo Warrants exercised therefor. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event (and not a recapitalization), it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period in the CayCo Ordinary Shares would be treated as commencing on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the CayCo Warrant; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the CayCo Warrants. If the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the CayCo Ordinary Shares would include the holding period of the CayCo Warrants exercised therefor.

172

Table of Contents

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated in part as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss would be recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder could be deemed to have surrendered CayCo Warrants with an aggregate fair market value equal to the exercise price for the total number of CayCo Warrants to be exercised. The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the CayCo Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such CayCo Warrants. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the CayCo Ordinary Shares received would equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the CayCo Warrants exercised and the exercise price of such CayCo Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for CayCo Ordinary Shares would commence on the date following the date of exercise or on the date of exercise of the CayCo Warrants; in either case, the holding period would not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the CayCo Warrants. Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the CayCo Ordinary Shares received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

If CayCo redeems CayCo Warrants for cash pursuant to the redemption provisions applicable to the CayCo Warrants or if CayCo purchases CayCo Warrants in an open market transaction, such redemption or purchase generally will be treated as a taxable disposition to the U.S. Holder, taxed as described above under “— Sale, Exchange, Redemption or Other Taxable Disposition of CayCo Securities.”

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each CayCo Warrant (which will have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such SPAC Public Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination) provide for an adjustment to the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares for which the CayCo Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the CayCo Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement entitled “Description of Securities — Securities of Chenghe prior to the Business Combination — Warrants — Public Warrants — Anti-Dilution Adjustments” and “Description of Securities — Securities of CayCo — Warrants.” An adjustment that has the effect of preventing dilution generally is not taxable. The U.S. Holders of the CayCo Warrants would, however, be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from CayCo if, for example, the adjustment to the number of such CayCo Ordinary Shares received upon exercise of the CayCo Warrants or to the exercise price of the CayCo Warrants increases the proportionate interest of the U.S. Holder of CayCo Warrants in CayCo’s assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares that would be obtained upon exercise or through a decrease in the exercise price of a CayCo Warrant) as a result of a distribution (or a transaction treated as a distribution) of cash or other property, such as other securities, to the holders of CayCo Ordinary Shares, which is taxable to the holders of such shares as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if the U.S. Holders of the CayCo Warrants received a cash distribution from CayCo equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

PFIC Considerations

The treatment of U.S. Holders of the CayCo Securities could be materially different from that described above, if CayCo is treated as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes (for a general discussion of the PFIC rules, see above under the heading “— U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Business Combination to U.S. Holders — 5. PFIC Considerations — a. Definition of a PFIC”).

As of the date hereof, CayCo has not made a determination as to its PFIC status for its current taxable year or any other taxable year. Whether CayCo is a PFIC is determined on an annual basis. The determination of whether CayCo is a PFIC is a factual determination that depends on, among other things, the composition of CayCo’s income and assets, and the market value of its shares and assets, including the composition of income and assets and the market value of shares and assets of certain subsidiaries (including FST and SPAC), from time to time, and thus the determination can only be made annually after the close of each taxable year. Thus, no assurance can be given as to whether CayCo will be a PFIC in its current taxable year or for any future taxable year. In addition, none of SPAC’s or CayCo’s respective U.S. counsel expresses any opinion with respect to CayCo’s PFIC status for any taxable year.

173

Table of Contents

Under the PFIC rules, if CayCo were considered a PFIC at any time that a U.S. Holder owns CayCo Securities, CayCo would continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such investment unless (i) it ceased to be a PFIC and (ii) the U.S. Holder made a “deemed sale” election under the PFIC rules. If such election is made, a U.S. Holder will be deemed to have sold its CayCo Ordinary Shares at their fair market value on the last day of the last taxable year in which CayCo is classified as a PFIC, and any gain from such deemed sale would be subject to the consequences described below. After the deemed sale election, the CayCo Ordinary Shares with respect to which the deemed sale election was made will not be treated as shares in a PFIC unless CayCo subsequently becomes a PFIC.

For each taxable year that CayCo is treated as a PFIC with respect to a U.S. Holder’s CayCo Ordinary Shares, the U.S. Holder will be subject to special tax rules, as described above under the heading “— Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U. S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.”

It is not entirely clear how various aspects of the PFIC rules apply to the CayCo Warrants. If a U.S. Holder sells or otherwise disposes of CayCo Warrants (other than upon exercise of such warrants) and CayCo were a PFIC at any time during the U.S. Holder’s holding period of such CayCo Warrants, any gain recognized generally will be treated as an excess distribution, taxed as described under the heading “— Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Exercising Redemption Rights to U. S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.” The rules relating to “excess distributions” discussed above, will continue to apply with respect to CayCo Ordinary Shares resulting from the exercise of CayCo Warrants if CayCo were a PFIC during a U.S. Holder’s holding period (which, while not entirely clear, generally will be deemed to have a holding period for purposes of the PFIC rules that includes the period the U.S. Holder held the CayCo Warrant), unless the U.S. Holder makes a purging election under the PFIC rules. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors as to the application of the rules governing purging elections to their particular circumstances.

Certain of the PFIC rules may impact U.S. Holders with respect to equity interests in subsidiaries and other entities which CayCo may hold, directly or indirectly, that are PFICs (collectively, “Lower-Tier PFICs”). There can be no assurance, however, that CayCo does not own, or will not in the future acquire, an interest in a subsidiary or other entity that is or would be treated as a Lower-Tier PFIC. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the application of the PFIC rules to any of CayCo’s subsidiaries.

If CayCo is a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of CayCo Ordinary Shares may avoid taxation under the Excess Distribution Rules described above by making a QEF Election. However, a U.S. Holder may make a QEF Election with respect to its CayCo Ordinary Shares only if CayCo provides U.S. Holders on an annual basis with certain financial information specified under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. Because CayCo currently does not intend to provide U.S. Holders with such information on an annual basis, U.S. Holders generally would not be able to make a QEF Election with respect to the CayCo Ordinary Shares.

A U.S. Holder of CayCo Ordinary Shares may also avoid taxation under the Excess Distribution Rules by making an MTM Election. The application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders of CayCo Warrants is unclear. Proposed Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules generally treat an “option” (which would include a CayCo Warrant) to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, while final Treasury Regulations issued under the PFIC rules provide that the QEF Election does not apply to options and no MTM Election is currently available with respect to options.

A U.S. Holder that owns (or is deemed to own) shares in a PFIC during any taxable year of the U.S. Holder may have to file an IRS Form 8621 (whether or not a QEF Election or MTM Election is made) and such other information as may be required by the U.S. Treasury Department. Failure to do so, if required, will extend the statute of limitations until such required information is furnished to the IRS and may result in significant penalties.

THE RULES DEALING WITH PFICS ARE VERY COMPLEX AND ARE IMPACTED BY VARIOUS FACTORS IN ADDITION TO THOSE DESCRIBED ABOVE, INCLUDING THE RULES RELATING TO CONTROLLED FOREIGN CORPORATIONS. ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER A QEF ELECTION (OR A QEF ELECTION ALONG WITH A PURGING ELECTION), AN MTM ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND WHETHER IT WOULD BE DESIRABLE TO MAKE SUCH AN ELECTION.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements will apply to dividends received by U.S. Holders on CayCo Securities (including constructive dividends), and the proceeds received on the sale or other taxable disposition of CayCo Securities effected within the United States (and, in certain cases, outside the United States), in each case, other than U.S. Holders that are exempt recipients (such as corporations). Information reporting requirements will also apply to redemptions from U.S. Holders of SPAC Securities. Backup withholding (currently at a rate of 24%) may apply to such amounts if the U.S. Holder fails to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (generally on an IRS Form W-9 provided to the paying agent or the U.S. Holder’s broker) or is otherwise subject to backup withholding.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, if any, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. IT IS NOT TAX ADVICE TO HOLDERS OF SPAC SECURITIES OR CAYCO SECURITIES. EACH SUCH HOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE PARTICULAR U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. TAX CONSIDERATIONS OF PURCHASING, HOLDING, AND DISPOSING OF SPAC SECURITIES OR CAYCO SECURITIES, INCLUDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF ANY PROPOSED CHANGE IN APPLICABLE LAW.

MATERIAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO FST SHAREHOLDERS AND
OTHER CAYCO SHAREHOLDERS

The following is a general summary of the principal Taiwan consequences of the Business Combination to FST Shareholders and other CayCo Shareholders.

Taiwan securities transaction tax will be levied on FST Shareholders upon sale and transfer of the Company Shares they hold to CayCo during the Company Acquisition phase of the FST Restructuring. The applicable securities transaction tax rate is 0.3% on the gross proceeds of an FST Shareholder from the sale of the Company Shares. In accordance with the Company Restructuring Documents, FST will be responsible to bear and pay such securities transaction tax resulting from the sale of Company Shares to CayCo on behalf of each FST Shareholder.

Aside from the aforesaid securities transaction tax, FST Shareholders who are Taiwan tax residents (either individual or corporate) may also be subject to the potential Taiwan Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) implications under the Business Combination for the transfer of Taiwan company shares. For further information, please see “Taiwan Alternative Minimum Tax” below. FST Shareholders should consult with their tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of the Business Combination under the Taiwan tax regime and the laws of the relevant taxing non-Taiwan jurisdiction to which they might be subject.

Immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination, ownership and disposition of CayCo Ordinary Shares would carry the following Taiwan tax implications for CayCo shareholders:

Capital gains from the sale or disposal of CayCo Ordinary Shares

Sale or disposal of the ordinary shares of a Cayman Islands company is generally not regarded as the sale of Taiwan securities; thus, any gains generated therefrom by CayCo Shareholders who are individual Taiwan tax residents are not subject to Taiwan income tax. However, such capital gains may become subject to AMT as overseas income. For further information, please see “Taiwan Alternative Minimum Tax” below.

In contrast, for CayCo Shareholders who are corporate Taiwan tax residents, such capital gains should still be included in their current-year corporate income tax (“CIT”) returns and subject to 20% CIT rate.

Dividends

For CayCo Shareholders who are individual Taiwan tax residents, they may be subject to AMT for dividends received from CayCo as overseas income. For further information, please see “Taiwan Alternative Minimum Tax” below.

For CayCo Shareholders who are corporate Taiwan tax residents, dividends income should be included in their current-year CIT return and subject to 20% CIT rate.

Furthermore, starting from January 1, 2024, Taiwan has started to enforce the Controlled Foreign Corporation (“CFC”) regime on Taiwan tax residents. Specifically, under the CFC regime, if CayCo Shareholders who are Taiwan tax residents (either individuals or corporations) directly or indirectly hold 50% or more of the shares of CayCo or have significant influence over CayCo, CayCo will constitute a CFC of such shareholders. In this case, unless CayCo carries out substantial operating activities in the Cayman Islands or its current-year earnings are below NTD7 million, the retained earnings of CayCo would be deemed to distribute to CayCo Shareholders. Such deemed dividends would be taxable based on the aforesaid methods.

Taiwan Alternative Minimum Tax

The AMT regime imposed under the Taiwan Income Basic Tax Act is a supplemental income tax which applies if the amount of regular income tax calculated pursuant to the Taiwan Income Tax Act and relevant laws and regulations is below the amount of basic tax prescribed under the Taiwan Income Basic Tax Act.

For individual Taiwan tax residents, if their current-year overseas income exceeds NTD 1 million, such income should be included in the AMT taxable income, together with other add-back items, and subject to a 20% AMT rate with an exemption amount of NTD 7.5 million. For corporate Taiwan tax residents, the AMT taxable income are taxed at 12% AMT after deducting an exemption amount of NTD 600,000.

176

Table of Contents

FTS Shareholders or CayCo Shareholders are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the applicability and the consequences of Taiwan AMT regime.

Taiwan Securities Transaction Tax

Sale of the ordinary shares of a Cayman Islands company by CayCo Shareholders is generally not subject to Taiwan securities transaction tax.

The Taiwan tax considerations summarized above are for general information only and not intended to provide any definitive tax representations to CayCo Shareholders. Each CayCo Shareholder should consult his or her own tax advisor as to the particular tax consequences that may apply to such shareholder.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had been consummated as of June 30, 2024, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and for six months ended June 30, 2024, gives pro forma effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2023, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

Description of the Transactions

On December 22, 2023, SPAC, entered into a Business Combination Agreement with CayCo, Merger Sub and FST, pursuant to which, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into SPAC with SPAC being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo, and SPAC will change its name to “FST Ltd”.

For FST Restructuring transaction, to maximize CayCo’s control over FST’s business and operations after the Closing and enhance the efficiency of future fundraising, the parties intend to have each existing FST Shareholder exchange the Company Shares held by it, him or her with CayCo Ordinary Shares, so that at the Closing, or as soon as practicable thereafter, CayCo will be the sole shareholder of FST. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo shall have acquired at least 90% of all issued and outstanding Company Shares on or prior to the Closing. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated ﬁnancial information has been prepared under the assumption that 100% of all issued and outstanding Company Shares have been acquired.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the Merger Effective Time, (i) each outstanding SPAC Unit, consisting of one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) SPAC Warrant, will be automatically separated and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half (1/2) of one (1) SPAC Warrant; (ii) each SPAC Class B Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be automatically converted into one (1) SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and each SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; (iii) each SPAC Class A Ordinary Share (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (A) issued in connection with the SPAC Class B Conversion; and (B) held as a result of Unit Separation) shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) CayCo Ordinary Share; and (iv) each SPAC Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised shall be automatically converted into the right to receive a CayCo Warrant, which shall be on the

178

same terms and conditions as the applicable SPAC Warrant. At the Closing, in accordance with the Companies Act (as revised) of the Cayman Islands, Merger Sub will merge with and into SPAC, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and SPAC will be the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of CayCo.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the base equity value of FST is $400,000,000 and will be paid entirely in shares, comprised of newly issued ordinary shares of the CayCo, with each share valued at the Per Share Price.

Accounting for the Transactions

The Transactions will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, SPAC will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on FST shareholders expecting to have a majority of the voting power of the combined company, FST comprising the ongoing operations of the combined entity, FST comprising a majority of the governing body of the combined company, and FST’s senior management comprising the senior management of the combined company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Transactions will be treated as the equivalent of FST issuing share for the net assets of SPAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SPAC will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Transactions will be those of FST.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” Release No. 33-10786 requires pro forma adjustments that depict the accounting for the transaction (“Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and allows optional pro forma adjustments that present the reasonably estimable synergies and other transaction effects that have occurred or are reasonably expected to occur (“Management’s Adjustments”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information is for illustrative purposes only. The financial results may have been different had the companies always been combined. You should not rely on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that the combined company will experience. FST and SPAC have not had any historical relationship prior to the Transactions. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

There is no historical activity with respect to CayCo and Merger Sub accordingly, no adjustments were required with respect to these entities in the pro forma combined financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated financial information has been prepared assuming three alternative levels of redemption into cash of SPAC’s ordinary shares:

• Scenario 1 — No Redemption Scenario: This scenario assumes that there are no SPAC Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their SPAC Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination;

• Scenario 2 — Intermediate Redemption Scenario: This scenario assumes that SPAC Shareholders holding 1,970,937 SPAC Public Shares, representing 50% of 3,941,873 SPAC Public Shares remaining outstanding after the Extension Meeting, will exercise redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination; and

• Scenario 3 — Maximum Redemption Scenario: This scenario assumes that SPAC Shareholders holding 3,031,981 SPAC Public Shares will exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, resulting in SPAC maintaining $5,000,001 of net tangible assets at Closing of the Business Combination.

In each scenario described above, the presentation assumes that CayCo has acquired all issued and outstanding Company Shares.

(2) Assumes that 3,031,981 Public Shares are redeemed for aggregate redemption payments of approximately $34.64 million, assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price and based on funds in the Trust Account as of June 30, 2024. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have U.S.$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions.

(3) On November 8, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor notified Chenghe that it elected to convert 1,058,127 Founder Shares to the same number of SPAC Public Shares. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Founder Shares were converted into the same number of Converted SPAC Public Shares. The Converted SPAC Public Shares are identical to the SPAC Public Shares, except that (i) they are entitled to registration rights, (ii) they are subject to the transfer restrictions as set forth in the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, (iii) pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsors agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Converted SPAC Public Shares in connection with (A) the SPAC’s initial business combination, (B) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the SPAC’s constitutional documents to (x) modify the substance or timing of the SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the SPAC’s initial business combination, or to redeem 100% of SPAC Public Shares if SPAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (y) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

(4) The Sponsors and their affiliates’ total potential ownership interest in the post-Closing Company, assuming the exercise and conversion of all securities following the Closing, including the Converted SPAC Public Shares as described above, and Founder Shares, is estimated to comprise approximately 6.89% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a no redemption scenario, 7.19% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in an intermediate redemption scenario and 7.36% of outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares in a maximum redemption scenario.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Consolidated Balance Sheet Adjustments

The Transaction Accounting Adjustments to the unaudited condensed combined consolidated pro forma balance sheet consists of the following:

(1) Reflects the release of cash from marketable securities held in the Trust Account.

(2) Reflects an adjustment of $1.44 million to reduce cash and $1.62 million to reduce deferred offering costs for transaction costs expected to be incurred by FST in relation to the Business Combination, including advisory, printing, legal and accounting services.

(3) In Scenario 1, which assumes no further SPAC Shareholders, collectively holding 3,941,873 shares, exercises their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024, there was approximately $45.04 million in the Trust Account. Taking into account nil to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds at the Closing of the Business Combination, all SPAC Public Shares previously subject to redemption for cash amounting to $45.04 million would be transferred to shareholders’ equity.

In Scenario 2, which reflects the redemption of nil share in connection with the Business Combination as reflected in Scenario 1 above, and additionally assumes that SPAC Shareholders holding 1,970,937 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, representing 50% of 3,941,873 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares remaining outstanding on the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, will exercise redemption rights at an assumed share price of US$11.43 in connection with the Business Combination. Under Scenario 2, an amount of $22.52 million in the trust account will need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds at the closing of the Business Combination, as compared with Scenario 1.

In Scenario 3, which reflects the redemption of 1,970,937 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination, as reflected in Scenario 2 above, and additionally assumes that SPAC Shareholders holding 1,160,585 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will exercise their redemption rights at an assumed share price of US$11.43 in connection with the Business Combination. Under Scenario 3, an additional amount of $12.12 million in the trust account would need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds at the closing of the Business Combination. Taking into account the $22.52 million paid out in connection with redemption under Scenario 2 above, a total of $34.64 million in the trust account will need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have US$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the SPAC Articles and Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least, 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions under Scenario 3.

(4) Reflects 1) recapitalization of FST through issuance of SPAC shares and eliminate SPAC historical accumulated earnings; and 2) the contribution of all the share capital in FST to SPAC.

(5) Reflects prepaid and accrued expenses of SPAC would be settled due upon completion of the business combination.

Net loss per share

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated basic and diluted earnings per share calculations are based on the sum of the historical SPAC weighted average number of redeemable shares outstanding of 3,941,873, converted SPAC public shares of 1,058,127 and non-redeemable shares outstanding of 2,191,873 under all three

For the purposes of calculating the weighted average number of shares of Company ordinary shares outstanding, the effects of outstanding warrants and exchangeable units to purchase ordinary shares and employee share option plans were not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share, since the inclusion of such warrants and options would be anti-dilutive.

BUSINESS OF SPAC AND CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT SPAC

Overview

SPAC is a blank check company incorporated on May 20, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Prior to entering into the Business Combination Agreement, its acquisition strategy was to search globally for targets that have created a critical mass in their own market and are looking for the right partner with whom to expand across borders. Based on SPAC’s business activities, SPAC is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting solely of cash and/or cash equivalents.

Initial Public Offering and Concurrent Private Placement

On January 27, 2022, SPAC consummated SPAC IPO of 13,000,000 SPAC Units, at an offering price of $10.00 per SPAC Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,000,000. Each SPAC Unit consists of one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable SPAC Public Warrant. Each whole SPAC Public Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch served as underwriters of the SPAC IPO. The securities sold in the SPAC IPO were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-261361) (as amended). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on January 24, 2022.

Concurrently with the closing of the SPAC IPO, SPAC consummated a private placement to its Old SPAC Sponsor of 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants, each exercisable to purchase one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, at a price of $1.00 per warrant, in a private placement generating gross proceeds of $7,900,000.

Following the closing of the SPAC IPO and the private placement, $132,600,000 was placed in the Trust Account, comprised of the proceeds from the SPAC IPO and the sale of SPAC Private Placement Warrants (including $4,550,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount). SPAC IPO transaction costs amounted to $7,647,620, consisting of $2,600,000 of underwriting discount, $4,550,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,620 of other costs and expenses related to the SPAC IPO. In addition, $2,494,203 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and was available for working capital purposes at the consummation of the SPAC IPO.

SPAC may withdraw from the Trust Account interest earned on the funds held therein necessary to pay its income taxes, if any. Except as described in the prospectus for the SPAC IPO and described in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” these proceeds will not be released until the earlier of the completion of an initial business combination (including the Business Combination) and the redemption of 100% of the issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Share upon its failure to consummate a business combination within the required time period.

The remaining proceeds from the SPAC IPO and concurrent private placement, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other costs and expenses, held outside the Trust Account became available to be used as working capital to provide for business, legal and accounting due diligence on prospective business combinations and continuing general and administrative expenses.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On February 9, 2023, SPAC entered into a business combination marketing agreement (the “EBC BCMA”) with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) for EBC’s assistance in connection with a potential business combination with a cash fee equal to $2,000,000 contingent upon closing of the business combination. If a proposed business combination is not consummated for any reason, no fee is due unless SPAC receives a termination payment established in the definitive written agreement with the target company in the business combination, in which case, EBC will be entitled to 1/3 of the termination payment up to a maximum of $1,000,000. As prescribed by the BCMA, in SPAC’s own discretion, it may engage EBC as non-exclusive placement agent for SPAC, on a “best efforts” basis, in connection with a private placement of shares of common stock and/or convertible debt or preferred stock, the structuring of a collateralized equity transaction, or the arrangement of an equity line of credit of SPAC in connection with the business combination, for a placement agent’s fee of (for equity and equity equivalents) 3.5% and (for debt and convertible securities) 2.0% of the capital raised by investors contracts by EBC, payable at the closing of the business combination.

Table of Contents

On October 2, 2023, the Old SPAC Sponsor entered into a letter agreement with EBC (the “EBC Letter Agreement”), under which, the Old SPAC Sponsor agreed to (i) transfer, at no consideration, to EBC 25,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor at the closing of the business combination. If the Old SPAC Sponsor is required to forfeit SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares to SPAC that it’s retaining pursuant to the Sponsor Sale SPA so that the total number of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares becomes less than 500,000, EBC will forfeit a pro rata number of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares with the Old SPAC Sponsor’s reduction below 500,000 such that the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by EBC will then represent 5% of the total SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor and EBC; (ii) transfer to EBC an aggregate of 26.7% of any consideration it receives as a result of certain “tail” arrangement it has with a third party as a result of a proposed transaction; and (iii) pay to EBC an aggregate of $5,000 to reimburse EBC for expenses incurred by it for the services rendered to SPAC and the Old SPAC Sponsor.

On October 2, 2023, in connection with the Sponsor Sale, EBC issued a waiver letter (“EBC Waiver Letter”) to SPAC, pursuant to which, the EBC BCMA is terminated. Under the EBC Waiver Letter, SPAC agreed that such SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares to be transferred by the Old SPAC Sponsor to EBC under the EBC Letter Agreement will have the same registration rights as the other Class B ordinary shares held by the Old SPAC Sponsor.

Extension

On April 13, 2023, SPAC held the First Extension Meeting, at which SPAC Shareholders approved (1) the proposal to amend SPAC MAA to extend the date by which SPAC must (i) consummate an initial business combination, (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to consummate a business combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Public Shares, from April 27, 2023 to November 27, 2023; (2) the proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to allow SPAC to extend, on a month to month basis, the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account if SOAC has not completed its initial business combination, from April 27, 2023 to up to November 27, 2023 by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of $150,000 or $0.0375 per Public Share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal per calendar month commencing on April 27, 2023; (3) the proposal to amend SPAC MAA to provide for the right of a holder of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Share to convert into SPAC Class A Ordinary Share on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of an initial business combination at the election of the holder; and (4) the proposal to amend SPAC MAA to remove the limitation that SPAC shall not redeem Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would cause SPAC’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

In connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders holding 7,399,517 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $77.5 million (approximately $10.47 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $58.6 million remained in the Trust Account.

On October 25, 2023, SPAC held the Second Extension Meeting, at which SPAC Shareholders approved (1) the proposal to amend the SPAC MAA to extend the SPAC Termination Date from October 27, 2023 to January 27, 2024 for a deposit of the lesser of $240,000 and $0.06 for each Public Share not redeemed immediately after the Second Extension Meeting; and to allow SPAC, without the need for any further approval of the shareholders, by resolutions of the SPAC Board, to further extend the SPAC Termination Date for up to 9 times, each time by one month, from January 27, 2024 up to October 27, 2024, for a deposit of the lesser of $80,000 and $0.02 for each Public Share not redeemed immediately after the Second Extension Meeting for each month extended; (2) the proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to reflect the Second Extension, and to allow SPAC to maintain any remaining amount of in its Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank; and (3) the proposal to change SPAC’s name from LatAmGrowth SPAC to Chenghe Acquisition I Co.

In connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, shareholders holding 1,658,610 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares elected to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account. As a result, approximately $18.1 million (approximately $10.94 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share) was released from the Trust Account to pay such holders and approximately $43.0 million remained in the Trust Account.

On November 6, 2023, pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as amended on October 25, 2023), SPAC instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to hold all funds in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing bank deposit account.

Table of Contents

On November 8, 2023, the New SPAC Sponsor notified the SPAC that it elected to convert 1,058,127 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by itself to the same number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, pursuant to the SPAC Class B Ordinary Share Amendment Proposal. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the New SPAC Sponsor were converted into the same number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. As of the date hereof, there are 5,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and 2,191,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding.

On September 17, 2024, SPAC filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a potential Third Extension. SPAC Public Shareholders will have the right to redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds then in the Trust Account in connection with the Third Extension. If the Third Extension is approved by SPAC Shareholders, we expect that certain amount of the funds in the Trust Account would be released to pay redeeming shareholders, the number of Public Shares would reduce and we would need less Public Shares voted in favor of the proposals for the proposals to be approved.

Delist of SPAC Public Warrants

On June 15, 2023, SPAC received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that since SPAC’s aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants was less than $1,000,000, SPAC was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(b)(C) (the “Rule”), which requires SPAC to maintain an aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants of at least $1,000,000 (the “Notice”). SPAC has been given 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. SPAC did not submit such plan. On August 16, 2023, the Staff notified SPAC that Nasdaq determined to commence proceedings to delist SPAC Public Warrants, and listed to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “LATGW”, from Nasdaq and that trading in SPAC Public Warrants would be suspended at the opening of business on August 25, 2023, due to SPAC’s failure to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants for continued listing under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(b)(C). SPAC did not appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. As a result, a Form 25 was filed by Nasdaq on September 8, 2023 with the SEC to remove SPAC Public Warrants from listing and registration on Nasdaq.

Waivers of Deferred Underwriting Commission

On September 8, 2023, BofA Securities, Inc., and on September 19, 2023, Banco BTG Pactual S.A — Cayman Branch each notified SPAC that they would not act in any capacity in connection with the Business Combination and waived their entitlement to the deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination under and pursuant to the SPAC IPO Underwriting Agreement, dated January 24, 2022, by and among SPAC and BofA Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch, acting individually and as representatives of the several underwriters named therein.

Sponsor Sale and the New SPAC Sponsor

Sponsor Sale

On September 29, 2023, SPAC, the Old SPAC Sponsor and the New SPAC Sponsor entered into a securities purchase agreement for the Sponsor Sale, pursuant to which, the New SPAC Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and (ii) 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants held by the Old SPAC Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus the New SPAC Sponsor’s agreement to deposit into the Trust Account (a) on the closing of the Sponsor Sale, $450,000 for due and payable extension contribution payment incurred prior to the date of the Sponsor Sale SPA and (b) on any other applicable due date, other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the Trust Agreement.

Chenghe Acquisition Co. filed a Form 15 on February 26, 2024, de-registering its securities under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspending reporting obligations under the Exchange Act. On July 26, 2023, the holders of 3,062,319 Chenghe Acquisition Co. public shares (representing approximately 26.6% of then-outstanding Chenghe Acquisition Co. public shares) elected to redeem their public shares in connection with Chenghe Acquisition Co.’s extension of the date by which it must complete an initial business combination from August 2, 2023 to May 2, 2024.

The Sponsors and SPAC’s officers and directors are not prohibited from sponsoring, or otherwise becoming involved with, another blank check company prior to SPAC completing its initial business combination. SPAC’s officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities which may be appropriate for presentation to SPAC, and the other entities to which they owe certain fiduciary or contractual duties. Accordingly, they may have had conflicts of interest in determining to which entity a particular business opportunity should be presented. These conflicts may not be resolved in SPAC’s favor and such potential business opportunities may be presented to other entities prior to their presentation to SPAC, subject always to applicable fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. SPAC MAA provide that SPAC renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any officer or director of SPAC. This waiver allows SPAC’s officers and directors to allocate opportunities based on a combination of the objectives and fundraising needs of the target, as well as the investment objectives of the entity. SPAC does not believe that the waiver of the corporate opportunities doctrine otherwise had a material impact on its search for an acquisition target.

During the process when the New SPAC Sponsor was searching for a target company and negotiating the Business Combination, HH&L Acquisition Co. was also searching for a target. The New SPAC Sponsor introduced FST to HH&L Acquisition Co. as a potential target in August 2023, but HH&L Acquisition Co. was in advanced talk with another potential target, so did not initiate any discussion with FST due to uncertainty of timeline.

As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, the New SPAC Sponsor holds 1,058,127 SPAC Public Shares, 1,591,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, and 7,900,000 Private Placement Warrants, in each case held by the New SPAC Sponsor, as of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

No compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, was paid or will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, executive officers or directors or affiliates, for services rendered to or in connection with the Business Combination. However, these persons will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. The New SPAC Sponsor’s economic interest in the Business Combination is limited to the CayCo Ordinary Shares that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Shares that it owns, the CayCo Warrants that it will receive in exchange of the SPAC Warrants that it owns, and the repayment of outstanding amount under the October 2023 Note and the July 2024 Note at the Closing of the Business Combination. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding principal amount under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668 and the total outstanding principal amount under the July 2024 Note is $0.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Sale SPA, if the New SPAC Sponsor transfers any Founder Shares for the purpose of securing further extension of Chenghe or reducing the number of SPAC Public Shares elected to redeem in connection with further extensions, at the closing of Chenghe’s initial business combination, the New SPAC Sponsor shall transfer to the Old SPAC Sponsor a number of the Founder Shares equal to the product of (i) 1,000,000 minus the Transferred Shares and (ii) 0.5. However, the Old SPAC Sponsor Earnout Shares shall not exceed 250,000 Founder Shares, and if the New SPAC Sponsor elects to use cash or other arrangements (other than Founder Shares) to secure further extensions, the number of Old SPAC Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be 100,000 Founder Shares. If the New SPAC Sponsor elects to use a mix of cash, other arrangements and Founder Shares to secure further extensions, the number of Old SPAC Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be calculated using the abovementioned formula. Except for the Old SPAC Sponsor Earnout Shares, as of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, none of the New SPAC Sponsor, its affiliates and promoters is aware of any arrangement that directly or indirectly, could transfer ownership of Chenghe’s securities, or that could result in the surrender or cancellation of such securities.

Resignation and Appointment of CEO and CFO

On June 21, 2024, SPAC received a notice from Zhiyang Zhou of her decision to resign as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of SPAC due to personal reason, effective immediately.

On June 27, 2024, SPAC Board appointed Yixuan Yuan as chief executive officer, Zhaohai Wang as chief financial officer and Zhiyang Zhou as president, of SPAC.

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The target business or businesses that SPAC acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions held in trust and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for initial business combination. SPAC Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination as described in the subsection entitled “SPAC Shareholder Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Satisfaction of 80% Test.”

Shareholder Approval of the Business Combination

Pursuant to SPAC MAA, SPAC is required to provide SPAC Public Shareholders with an opportunity to have their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash upon the consummation of SPAC’s initial business combination, either in conjunction with a shareholder vote or tender offer. Due to the structure of the Business Combination, SPAC is providing this opportunity in conjunction with a shareholder vote. Accordingly, in connection with the Business Combination, the SPAC Public Shareholders may seek to have their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares redeemed for cash in accordance with the procedures set forth in the subsection entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of SPAC Shareholders — Redemption Rights.”

Pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsors and their respective affiliates agreed to vote any ordinary shares owned by them in favor of an initial business combination of SPAC.

Redemption of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and Liquidation If No Initial Business Combination

SPAC MAA provide that SPAC shall complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date. If SPAC is unable to complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date, it will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, redeem the SPAC Class A Ordinary 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then-issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish shareholders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares’ 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 SPAC’s remaining shareholders and SPAC Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to SPAC Warrants, which will expire worthless if SPAC fails to complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date.

Pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, each of the Sponsors and their respective affiliates has waived their respective rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any SPAC Class B Ordinary Share and Converted SPAC Public Share held by them if SPAC fails to complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date. However, if they acquire SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares through public market in or after the SPAC IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares if SPAC fails to complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date. They also agreed that they will not propose any amendment to SPAC MAA (A) to modify the substance or timing of SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares if SPAC does not complete its initial business combination within the required time period set forth in the SPAC MAA or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights

or pre-initial business combination activity, unless SPAC provides the SPAC Public Shareholders with an opportunity to redeem their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment 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 SPAC to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

SPAC expects that all costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from cash held outside the Trust Account, although SPAC cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. However, if those funds are not sufficient to cover the costs and expenses associated with implementing its plan of dissolution, to the extent that there is any interest accrued in the Trust Account not required to pay income taxes on interest income earned on the Trust Account balance, SPAC may request the trustee to release to it an additional amount of up to $100,000 of such accrued interest to pay those costs and expenses.

On April 13, 2023, SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the Old SPAC Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,050,000 to fund the contributions to the Trust Account in connection with the First Extension Amendment and the First Trust Amendment. The promissory note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and all amounts outstanding thereunder were forgiven without any further liability of SPAC or the Old SPAC Sponsor.

On October 25, 2023, SPAC issued the October 2023 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000. The initial principal balance outstanding under the October 2023 Note is $480,600, of which $450,000 represents drawdown to pay Contributions and $30,600 represents working capital, as of October 25, 2023. SPAC may further draw down up to $960,000 to pay the Contributions and up to $519,400 for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668. On each of October 30, 2023 and November 29, 2023, SPAC deposited $80,000 as Contribution into the Trust Account. On January 3, 2024, and on each of February 2, 2024, March 4, 2024, April 2, 2024, May 3, 2024, May 31, 2024, July 2, 2024, August 2, 2024 and September 3, 2024, FST deposited $76,512.38, and $78,837, respectively, into the Trust Account, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, which provides that FST shall bear all of the fees and costs relating to the extension of SPAC Termination Date not exceeding $80,000 per month.

On July 11, 2024, SPAC issued the July 2024 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. SPAC may apply the amount advanced by the New SPAC Sponsor under the July 2024 Note to fund the Contribution or, as SPAC deems appropriate, towards general corporate purposes.

If SPAC were to expend all of the net proceeds of the SPAC IPO and the sale of the SPAC Private Placement Warrants, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares upon its dissolution would be approximately $10.20. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of SPAC’s creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of its shareholders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. SPAC cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will not be substantially less than $10.20. While SPAC intends to pay such amounts, if any, it cannot assure you that it will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although SPAC will seek to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses and other entities with which it does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of the SPAC Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary duties or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against SPAC’s assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, SPAC’s management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to it and will only enter into an agreement with such third party if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be in the best interests of SPAC under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where SPAC may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. On September 8, 2023 and September 19, 2023, BofA

Securities, Inc. and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch waived their deferred underwriting commission solely with respect to the Business Combination, respectively. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with SPAC and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsors have agreed that they will be liable to SPAC if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to SPAC, or a prospective target business with which SPAC have entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination Agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and (ii) the actual amount per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under its indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, SPAC has not asked its Sponsors to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has SPAC independently verified whether its Sponsors have sufficient funds to satisfy their indemnity obligations and SPAC believes that its Sponsors’ only assets are securities of SPAC. Therefore, SPAC cannot assure you that its Sponsors would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the initial business combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share. In such event, SPAC may not be able to complete its initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. None of SPAC’s officers or directors will indemnify SPAC for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and (ii) the actual amount per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsors assert that they are unable to satisfy their indemnification obligations or that they have no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, SPAC’s independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsors to enforce their indemnification obligations. While SPAC currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against its Sponsors to enforce the indemnification obligations to SPAC, it is possible that SPAC’s independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. Accordingly, SPAC cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share.

SPAC will seek to reduce the possibility that its Sponsors will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which SPAC does business execute agreements with it waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsors will also not be liable as to any claims under SPAC’s indemnity of the underwriters of the SPAC IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. SPAC will have access to cash held outside the Trust Account to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with its liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that SPAC liquidates and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from its Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors.

If SPAC s files a bankruptcy or insolvency petition or an involuntary winding-up petition or insolvency petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in its bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, SPAC cannot assure you it will be able to return $10.20 per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share to its shareholders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. Additionally, if SPAC files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against it that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy or insolvency court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by SPAC’s shareholders. Furthermore, SPAC Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to SPAC’s creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and

199

Table of Contents

thereby exposing itself and SPAC to claims of punitive damages, by paying shareholders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. SPAC cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against it for these reasons.

SPAC Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the redemption of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares if SPAC does not complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend SPAC MAA (a) to modify the substance or timing of SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with its initial business combination or to redeem 100% of its SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares if SPAC does not complete its initial business combination by the SPAC Termination Date or (b) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity or (iii) if they redeem their respective shares for cash upon the completion of SPAC’s initial business combination. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. In the event SPAC seeks shareholder approval in connection with its initial business combination, a shareholder’s voting in connection with the business combination alone will not result in a shareholder’s redeeming its shares to SPAC for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its redemption rights described above. These provisions of SPAC MAA may be amended with a shareholder vote.

SPAC MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OP ERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of SPAC’s ﬁnancial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the ﬁnancial statements of SPAC and the notes related thereto which are included elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. SPAC’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

SPAC is a blank check company incorporated on May 20, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. SPAC intends to effectuate its initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of SPAC IPO and the private placement of the SPAC Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of SPAC shares in connection with its initial business combination (pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements SPAC may enter into), shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, or a combination of the foregoing.

The issuance of additional shares in connection with a business combination to the owners of the target or other investors:

• may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in SPAC IPO, which dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares resulted in the issuance of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares;

• may subordinate the rights of holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares;

• could cause a change in control if a substantial number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are issued, which could result in the resignation or removal of the present officers and directors of SPAC;

• may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of SPAC by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of SPAC; and

• may adversely affect prevailing market prices for SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and/or warrants.

Similarly, if SPAC issues debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

• default and foreclosure on the assets of SPAC if the operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay its debt obligations;

• acceleration of its obligations to repay the indebtedness even if SAPC makes all principal and interest payments when due if SPAC breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

• the immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;

• the inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting the ability of SPAC to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

• the inability to pay dividends on SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares;

• using a substantial portion of the cash flow of SPAC to pay principal and interest on its debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

204

Table of Contents

• limitations on the flexibility of SPAC in planning for and reacting to changes in its business and in the industry in which it operates;

• increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

• limitations on the ability of SPAC to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of its strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to its competitors who have less debt.

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at June 30, 2024, SPAC had no cash and had working capital deficit of $3,605,371. At December 31, 2023, SPAC had no cash and had working capital deficit of $2,116,996. Transaction costs related to SPAC IPO amounted to $7,647,620 consisting of $2,600,000 of underwriting discount, $4,550,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,620 of other offering costs. In addition, $2,494,203 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and was available for working capital purposes at the consummation of the IPO. Further, SPAC expects to incur significant costs in the pursuit of its initial business combination. There is no assurance that the plans to raise capital or to complete the initial business combination will be successful.

On January 27, 2022, SPAC consummated SPAC IPO of 13,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130.0 million. Simultaneously with the closing of SPAC IPO, SPAC consummated the sale of 7,900,000 SPAC Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant in a private placement to Old SPAC Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $7.9 million. Prior to the completion of the SPAC IPO, SPAC lacked the liquidity it needed to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the audited condensed financial statements. At the consummation of the SPAC IPO, cash of $2,494,203 in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to SPAC for general working capital purposes.

SPAC did not have any cash on hand as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Until consummation of its initial business combination, it will use the funds raised from the New SPAC Sponsor, as mentioned below, for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial business combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the business combination.

SPAC can raise additional capital through Working Capital Loans from the Sponsors, an affiliate of a Sponsor, certain of its officers and directors, or through loans from third parties. If SPAC is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. SPAC cannot provide assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

On April 13, 2023, SPAC held the First Extension Meeting. In connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company agreed to contribute into the Trust Account the lesser of an aggregate of $150,000 and $0.0375 per SPAC Public Share that was not redeemed at the First Extension Meeting for each monthly period commencing on April 27, 2023 until the earlier of the completion of the initial business combination or November 27, 2023. SPAC issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “April 2023 Note”) to the Old SPAC Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,050,000 to fund the contributions to SPAC’s Trust Account in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal and the First Trust Amendment Proposal. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and the withdrawal of $300,000 under the April 2023 Note was forgiven without any further liability of us or the Old SPAC Sponsor. The amounts forgiven were booked as a capital transaction at October 4, 2023.

On October 25, 2023, SPAC held the Second Extension Meeting. In connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, SPAC agreed to contribute into the Trust Account the lesser of an aggregate of $80,000 and $0.02 for each SPAC Public Share that was not redeemed at the Second Extension Meeting for each monthly period commencing on October 27, 2023 until the earlier of the completion of the initial business combination and October 27, 2024. On October 25, 2023, SPAC issued the October 2023 Note, a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note, to the New SPAC Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668 and $404,170, respectively. Including the $428,000 cash transferred from our bank account controlled by the Old SPAC Sponsor to the account controlled by the New SPAC Sponsor, the New SPAC Sponsor paid $1,555,668 in total, on behalf of SPAC, for extension and working capital purposes, of which $610,000 was used for extension deposits and $945,668 was used for working capital purposes.

On July 11, 2024, SPAC issued the July 2024 Note to the New SPAC Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. SPAC may apply the amount advanced by the New SPAC Sponsor under the July 2024 Note to fund the Contribution or, as SPAC deems appropriate, towards general corporate purposes. The unpaid principal amount under the July 2024 Note will be repayable by the SPAC to the New SPAC Sponsor on the effective date of an initial business combination of the SPAC. The maturity date of the July 2024 Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the July 2024 Note).

On January 3, 2024, $76,512.38 and on each of February 2, 2024, March 4, 2024, April 2, 2024, May 3, 2024, May 31, 2024, July 2, 2024, August 2, 2024 and September 3, 2024, $78,837 was deposited as extension contribution into the Trust Account by FST pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, extending the SPAC Termination Date to September 27, 2024. SPAC intends to further extend the SPAC Termination Date by making the deposits into the Trust Account as per the SPAC MAA.

207

Table of Contents

If a business combination is not consummated by the required date and SPAC is unable to obtain the funding to further extend the business combination period beyond any extended deadline, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the SPAC’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” SPAC has until October 27, 2024 subject to additional extension deposits of $78,837 each month (or a later date or dates further extended pursuant to SPAC MAA) to consummate the initial business combination pursuant to SPAC MAA. SPAC intends to complete the initial business combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that SPAC will be able to consummate any business combination by October 27, 2024 subject to additional extension deposits of $78,837 each month (or a later date or dates further extended pursuant to SPAC MAA). SPAC Board decided to seek SPAC Shareholders’ approval to further amend SPAC MAA to extend the date when SPAC must consummate a business combination beyond October 27, 2024. SPAC filed a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A with the SEC for a potential Third Extension to be approved by SPAC Shareholders in a Third Extension Meeting. In connection with such amendment of the SPAC MAA, SPAC Public Shareholders may elect to redeem their SPAC Public Shares for 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 SPAC to pay taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares. However, there’s no assurance that the Third Extension Meeting will be convened or the Third Extension will be approved by SPAC Shareholders.

SPAC’s management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of SPAC as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

SPAC’s management is currently evaluating the impact of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the war could have a negative effect on SPAC’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of June 30, 2024. The unaudited condensed financial statements for the six months period ended June 30, 2024 do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements

SPAC has no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. SPAC does not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. SPAC does not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual Obligations

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, SPAC did not have any long-term debt, capital or operating lease obligations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of audited financial statements and condensed financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

A critical accounting estimate to SPAC’s audited financial statements and condensed financial statements is the estimated fair value of our warrant liabilities and over-allotment liability, and SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly

208

Table of Contents

transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

• Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

• Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Warrant Liabilities and Over-allotment Liability

SPAC does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. SPAC evaluate all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity and measurement of fair value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities and overallotment option have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statements of operations as incurred. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or the creation of current liabilities.

SPAC accounts for warrants and over-allotment as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant and over-allotment option’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants and over-allotment option are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants and over-allotment option meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants and over-allotment option are indexed to its own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant and over-allotment option issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants and over-allotment option are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants and over-allotment option that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants and over-allotment option are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants and over-allotment option that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants and over-allotment option are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and over-allotment option are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

SPAC accounted for the warrants and over-allotment option in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. The warrants and over-allotment are not considered indexed to the SPAC’s ordinary shares, and as such, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as liabilities.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, SPAC used the quoted price on Over-the-Counter Market (the “OTC”) to establish the fair value of the SPAC Public Warrants. At December 31, 2022, SPAC used the quoted price on Nasdaq to establish the fair value of the SPAC Public Warrants and transferred the Public Warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the use of observable inputs.

The SPAC Private Placement Warrants changed from Level 2 at June 30, 2023 to Level 3 at December 31, 2023 as a result of the lack of an observable market quote of the SPAC Public Warrants on that day. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 a Monte Carlo simulation methodology was used in estimating the fair value of the SPAC Private

209

Table of Contents

Placement Warrants. The SPAC Private Placement Warrants were transferred to a Level 2 from a Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market. At December 31, 2022 SPAC Public Warrant price was used to valuate the SPAC Private Placement Warrants.

SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares

SPAC analyzed the SPA entered into during September 2023 under SAB Topic 5, Miscellaneous Accounting, section T, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s) and concluded that the SPA provides SPAC with a benefit in the form of the right to receive additional extension contributions from the New SPAC Sponsor. The right to receive the additional extension contributions required the New SPAC Sponsor, who is a principal shareholder, to provide or cause to provide consideration in the form of a transfer of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares of SPAC. The estimated fair value of the earnout provision at the closing of the Sponsor Sale on October 6, 2023 is nominal to zero. As a result, SPAC determined that an expense in the full amount of the fair value of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares transferred should be recorded. During October 2023, SPAC recorded an expense under SAB Topic 5T of $2,851,750 with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, based on a Monte Carlo Model simulation valuation of the SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. SPAC’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its audited financial statements, unaudited condensed financial statements and disclosures.

The management of SPAC does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on its unaudited condensed financial statements.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. SPAC qualifies as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act is allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. SPAC is electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and as a result, SPAC may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, SPAC is in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” SPAC chooses to rely on such exemptions it may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an independent registered public accounting firm’s attestation report on its system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the report of the independent registered public accounting firm providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis), and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the CEO’s compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of SPAC IPO or until SPAC is no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

BUSINESS OF FST AND CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT FST

In this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, “the Company,” “we,” “our,” “us” and other similar terms refer to Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries.

Overview

Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., is a renowned manufacturer and innovator in the golf industry with a growing portfolio of innovative golf products, including acclaimed golf club shafts and other equipment. Founded in Taiwan in 1976 and commencing golf club shaft manufacture in 1992, the Company has spent more than three decades meticulously crafting high-performance shafts for golfers worldwide.

Since 1992, the Company has engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and sales of golf club shafts. The Company currently produces and sells golf club shafts under the Company’s own high-performance “KBS” golf club shaft brand, and serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) for other world-renowned golf equipment brands, golf equipment OEMs, and golf equipment distributors that provide consumers with customized golf club services. The Company also develops its retail presences in the U.S. and Japan markets through its KBS Golf Experience stores, which provide retail customers new equipment build services and retro-build services for existing clubs.

Starting from 2007, the Company started using the “KBS” brand as a part of broader initiatives to transition from an OEM for other international golf brands to an operator of an independent and competitive brand. The development of KBS brand is led by renowned designer Kim Braly.

The Company first introduced the KBS brand into the U.S. market through the PGA tour in 2008. Since its launch, the Company continuously cultivated the KBS brand through the launch of golf shaft series that are well respected by the golf community: KBS Tour shaft series in 2008, KBS C-Taper steel shaft series in 2011, KBS Tour Hybrid series in 2017, KBS Tour-TGI graphite series in 2018 and KBS TD Driver graphite shafts series in 2020. Through the expansion of its product lines to encompass both steel club shafts and carbon fiber club shafts, the Company believes that this comprehensive approach addresses customers’ preferences for one-stop shopping, significantly enhancing the Company’s and brands’ capabilities to accept orders and negotiate. Since 2016, the Company has supplied golf shafts directly to PGA players. This initiative allows PGA players to test the shafts and participate in competitions using them, and opens up a pathway for the Company to collect feedback from professional players. Close interactions with the top professional players also provide the Company with opportunities to market its KBS shafts. As of March 1, 2024, 67 PGA players were using KBS brand shafts in their professional competitions. Propelled by the professional endorsement and high market visibility, the Company has successfully evolved from being an OEM for international brands to a trusted provider of golf shafts under its proprietary brand “KBS”.

To further raise the brand awareness and directly connect with customers, the Company has established the KBS Golf Experience stores in the U.S. and Japan, located in Carlsbad, California and Tokyo, Japan, respectively. These stores offer golf club customization and fitting services for individual customers, and are equipped with simulation tracking technology, software tools, and data recording systems. By quantifying the performance of golf clubs used on courses and analyzing consumer preferences and swing performance on-site, the staff are able to recommend suitable golf equipment for golfers of different age, gender, and experience level. The Company believes the direct interactions with customers will enhance brand awareness and loyalty. The customers feedbacks serve as valuable reference points for future product development, which, in turn, helps sustain the competitiveness of the Company’s products.

The Company believes that it will be able to continue to improve its competitive positioning by adhering closely to consumer demand, augmented by strong brand development efforts, a comprehensive product line, and online and offline sale touch points. According to Statista, the golf equipment market worldwide is projected to generate a revenue of $25 billion in 2024 and this market segment is expected to experience an annual growth rate of 5.63%, as measured by the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028.

History as Taiwanese Public Company

In Taiwan, only “public companies” are subject to the regulations of the Taiwan Securities and Exchange Act (TSEA). To become a public company, a company needs approval from the Securities and Futures Bureau (SFB) of Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission. Public company status is a prerequisite for listing on a Taiwanese stock exchange. FST became a public company in Taiwan on January 16, 2019, and its stock was subsequently registered on the Taiwan Stock Market for public trading on April 3, 2019.

211

Table of Contents

However, the TSEA and its related regulations create limitations. As long as FST remains a public company, its directors, officers, and major shareholders (holding 10% or more of the outstanding shares) cannot transfer all their shares to FST Corp, as required by the FST Restructuring plan. Therefore, if FST remained public, the FST Restructuring could not be completed.

To facilitate the FST Restructuring, the board of directors of FST resolved on December 15, 2023, to de-register FST from the Taiwan Stock Market. The de-registration was approved by the Taipei Exchange and became effective on January 4, 2024.

The termination of FST’s Taiwan Public Company status was adopted by the shareholders’ resolution at FST’s extraordinary general meeting on February 6, 2024. On February 15, 2024, FST submitted an application to the SFB to terminate its Taiwan Public Company status. This termination was approved by the SFB and took effect on February 27, 2024.

Our Competitive Strengths

Distinguished Proprietary KBS Brand

The KBS brand has been widely accepted and well received by the golf players of all levels, from top professional players to recreational players. As of December 31, 2023, 27 PGA players were using KBS brand shafts in their professional competitions. The Company has also developed long-term collaboration relationships with major international golf club brands, through which the Company may, at the clients’ selection, supply KBS brand shafts to be incorporated as a part of the client’s clubs.

The Company believes that the competitiveness of its KBS brand is largely attributable to the Company’s unwavering commitment to a player-centric focus in product development. As a supplier to PGA players, the Company employs a dedicated team catering exclusively to the needs of PGA professional players, including customizing each club shaft based on the player’s specific requirements and feedback. This approach ensures that the shafts conform to the player’s unique characteristics, which improves his performance, stability and shot-to-shot consistency. The endorsement by PGA players further improves the brand visibility and increases sales of KBS brand shafts.

The industry recognition and customer acceptance have propelled the Company to become a leading supplier of golf shafts. The KBS business has been ranked by the National Golf Foundation in 2023 as among the top 100 businesses in the golf industry. By diversifying its sales channels and fostering strong consumer following and loyalty, the Company has secured a significant competitive advantage, creating a foundation for sustained future growth.

Vertically Integrated Business Model

The Company develops a vertically integrated business model with design and development, production and marketing capabilities. It stands as one of the few golf shaft manufacturers capable of:

• Shaft Design Research and Development: The Company focuses on its accumulated internal shaft-making technological expertise under guidance from its R&D team, and receives inputs and insights from players, to continuously improve on its shaft design and introduce new shaft models.

• Shaft Production: This internal production capacity provides substantial control over material costs and production processes, ensuring consistent quality and efficient output.

• Global Brand Marketing: Leveraging its KBS brand, the Company has direct access to diverse international markets and all segments of golf-playing clientele, capturing valuable brand profitability that exceeds the typical margins achieved through solely OEM/ODM business models.

This integrated approach generates several advantages over other golf shaft manufacturers:

• Enhanced Profitability: By operating its own brand, the Company is able to charge brand premiums for its KBS products, which help increase the Company’s gross profit margins as compared to its OEM/ODM peers.

• Brand-Driven Growth: The established KBS brand provides the Company with insights to market trends, enabling the Company to quickly identify and capitalize on new market opportunities, further strengthening its competitive position.

Table of Contents

• Production Flexibility: Ownership of independent production technology and capacity empowers the Company to adapt swiftly to market shifts. This agility allows for resilient allocation of production resources in response to changes in marketing or sales strategies, ensuring efficient operations and rapid response to evolving market dynamics.

In essence, the Company’s unique vertically integrated model and established brand presence combine to create a robust competitive advantage, positioning it for sustained growth and profitability within the global golf equipment landscape.

Direct Customer Engagement and Strong R&D Capabilities

The golf shaft industry has seen increasing competition among manufacturers to launch new products more frequently to meet changing customer preferences. The Company believes that it is well-positioned to capture greater market shares through its close connection with its customer base and its investment in research and development:

• Dedicated Efforts to Professional Players: The Company assigns dedicated personnel to each PGA player who uses the Company’s shafts. The dedicated teams attend tournaments and events with the players to gather their feedbacks on the performance of the Company’s products, and record suggestions to improve or customize their shafts. The feedbacks and suggestions gathered from the PGA players are shared with the research and development team, so that the Company’s premium products, which are designed for professional players and golf enthusiasts, can be developed to best suit the needs of the top golf athletes. The Company believes the wider endorsement of its shafts by the top golf athletes will elevate the brand’s prestige, which in turn could lead to more sales to retail customers.

• Addressing Retail Demand Through Omni-channel Sales Network: The Company also connects with its retail customers through both online and offline channels. Customers can visit the Company’s online fitting tool available on the Company’s website, Find Your Fit, to purchase a new club or retrofit an existing club with new shafts and grips. The Company also directly interacts with the customers and observes their preferences through the personalized fitting services offered in KBS Golf Experience stores, which allow the Company to record first-hand consumer behaviors. The Company analyzes the customer preferences recorded through offline and online channels to drive the development and refinement of its products, which helps ensure that new products adapt to the ever-changing customer preferences.

• Investment in Research and Development: The Company has a dedicated research and development team focusing on product design, development, and process improvement. The R&D team has 19 full time staff, with 1 employee having a doctorate degree, 5 employees having master’s degrees and 12 having undergraduate degrees. As of December 31, 2023, the Company registered two utility patents for its products. The focus on research and development for its products and production process allows the Company to rapidly respond to changing market demands and timely deliver products that cater to customer needs.

Manufacturing Expertise and Efficiency

With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, the Company has developed extensive expertise in mechanical manufacturing and metal material processing. Leveraging its manufacturing expertise, the Company has established an efficient manufacturing process to reduce production costs, and a rigorous quality control process to ensure product quality.

The Company believes that its manufacturing process has the following advantages:

• Reduced Manual Labor: Through the investment in automated production equipment, the Company reduces its reliance on human resources and operational costs, which, in turn, leads to increase in production efficiency and profit margin.

• Shorter Delivery Periods: The Company’s streamlined production processes result in faster turnaround times, enabling the Company to deliver products to customers with greater speed and responsiveness and resulting in a shortening of delivery lead time from 2019 to 2023.

• Enhanced Production Capacity: The Company employs computer-integrated smart manufacturing in its shaft production process. The Company’s proprietary production software operates IoT-connected production machinery to monitor the production processes in real time, gathering production information and energy consumption data and using data analytics to improve manufacturing performance. This data-driven approach helps ensure optimal resource allocation and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements.

The Company’s manufacturing expertise in shaft production allows the Company to pioneer in graphite shafts production in response to changing customer demand. The Company launched its first graphite shaft series, KBS Tour-TGI series, in 2017. Since then, the Company has further expanded its graphite shaft portfolio with the Hybrid and TD series. This comprehensive portfolio caters to the diverse needs of golf customers, offering one-stop shopping for various specifications and functionalities. The expansion not only enhances brand awareness and market share but also strengthens the Company’s bargaining power with brand suppliers.

Leveraging Taiwan’s Golf Manufacturing Hub and Trade Dynamics

Over four decades, Taiwan has established itself as a leading global golf equipment production hub, with a comprehensive supply chain ecosystem. The strong manufacturing capabilities, combined with the comprehensive product offering, allow Taiwanese manufacturers to meet the customers’ specified needs throughout the lifecycle of a product. In addition, the relatively low labor costs and competitive production pricing have cemented Taiwan manufacturers’ position as preferred partners for international brands.

Furthermore, the Company has witnessed manufacturing orders moved from PRC to Taiwan due to the recent trade tensions between China and the U.S., which presented an opportunity for the Company to further expand its operation. Given the Company’s existing competitive position in the market, the Company believes that it is able to secure larger order volumes and new product development opportunities from customers seeking alternative production sources.

Our Growth Strategies

Optimizing Product Design Through Data Collection

As golf continues to gain popularity around the world, golf players started to demand more customization for the golf shafts to better suit their technical abilities and swing characteristics. For example, a golfer may seek to customize the stiffness, the bend profile, the weight, the material and the length of his or her golf shafts. The increasing demand in product customization prompts the golf equipment manufacturers to invest in research and development for shafts available in various forms or with different functions.

To better addressing the diverse customer preferences and anticipating market changes, the Company plans to leverage the customer preference data that the Company collects through the online fitting tool and the KBS Golf Experiences store. Personalized fittings allow the Company to collect performance data on customers, which facilitate the development of comprehensive profile of the customers’ abilities and swing characteristics. In addition, the Company records feedbacks and preferences of top golf athlete through its PGA engagements, which could also be leveraged to inform and anticipate upcoming preferences in the retail market. The Company plans to continue to invest in analytical tools and big data analysis to drive the product development and product line expansions.

Acquisition of Other Golf Shafts Producers

FST’s KBS brand is known primarily for its steel shafts. In recent years, FST has launched a variety of graphite shafts. However, the Company currently lacks its own graphite shaft production line and outsources all its graphite shaft production to a third party. Since graphite shafts typically command higher prices than steel shafts, developing its own graphite product lines at various price points could lead to increased revenue for FST. To achieve this, FST is interested in acquiring small and medium-sized companies with established graphite shaft brands that have their own production lines and a strong market reputation. The Company is currently evaluating the market to identify potential acquisition targets that meet these criteria.

Expansion of KBS Golf Experience Store Network

Due to the popularity and prestige of KBS brand, the Company believes that there is latent demand for its products in many geographic markets, such as the PRC, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, where the Company does not yet have a physical presence and its products may not be easily obtainable. The Company is exploring its market entry strategies for these markets. In addition, the Company believes that further expansion in the U.S. and Japanese markets through opening additional KBS stores will cover more population, which could, in turn, increase the sales in those markets.

214

Table of Contents

To initiate or expand its sales channels in these markets, the Company plans to open KBS Golf Experience stores, either on its own or in collaboration with local partners. In these stores, the Company plans to showcase its full shaft product line and golf accessories in conjunction with personalized club fitting services that KBS Golf Experience stores are already known for. The Company believes that opening stores in new markets and additional stores in the U.S. and Japan will help increase KBS brand awareness and generate additional sales from these markets.

With more KBS Golf Experience stores opening worldwide, the Company hopes to diversify its revenue sources from mainly shaft sales to a mix of shaft sales, sales of in-store and online golf equipment and golf accessories, and revenue from fitting and customization services.

Expanding into the PRC and other Global Markets

The maturation of the U.S. golf market has prompted international major golf brands to seek new opportunities abroad. The PRC, with its stable economic growth and rising disposable income in the last few decades, has emerged as a battleground for major golf brands.

Several factors contribute to the PRC’s burgeoning golf market:

• Growing Affluence: As disposable income increases, Chinese consumers’ spending power expands, making golf a more accessible sport for a wider population.

• Sporting Success: The impressive performance of Chinese players in international tournaments has fueled domestic interest and enthusiasm for the game.

• Policy Support: The inclusion of golf in the “14th Five-Year Planning for Sports Competition” by the Chinese government signifies a commitment to promote and popularize the sport, paving the way for significant market growth.

The Company also recognizes growth potential of its products in Japan, Korea, and Europe and plans to strategically position itself to capitalize on the potential in PRC as well as in these other regions. The Company’s expertise in manufacturing and brand building makes it a well-suited competitor in this dynamic landscape.

Expanding into Graphite Shaft Production

Although in recent years the Company has diversified its product offering by launching a variety of graphite shafts, the Company currently does not have its own graphite shaft production line, outsourcing all of its graphite shaft production to a third party. The Company recognizes that developing its own graphite product lines at different price points can potentially result in revenue growth and establishment of reputation as a branded graphite shaft manufacturer, complementing its reputation as a steel shaft manufacturer. Therefore, the Company plans to acquire the know-how and capability to expand into graphite shaft production in the near future.

Products and Services Offerings

Current Product Offerings

The Company specializes in the development and manufacturing of high-performance golf club shafts, catering to golfers of all skill levels and price sensitivities through three distinct product lines: premium shafts, standard shafts, and economy shafts.

The Company exclusively markets its premium shafts under the KBS brand. The Company sells KBS brands to both retail customers, international golf brands and sports retailers. The Company’s premium shafts, crafted from top quality materials such as steel and carbon fiber, are meticulously engineered to meet the rigorous demands of PGA professionals and serious players. In addition, the premium shafts undergo a sophisticated manufacturing progress to increase symmetry and reduce torque. As a result, these shafts provide precise control over the center of gravity and torque, optimizing hitting accuracy and feel. With multiple lengths and stiffness options, they allow the customers to customize a shaft specifically for his or her style.

215

Table of Contents

The Company offers its standard shafts to other international brands as an OEM or ODM partner. The standard shafts are steel shafts that are designed in accordance with the brand customers’ specification. The Company manufactures, if acting as an OEM partner, or designs and manufactures, if acting as an ODM partner, the standard shafts based on the customers’ specification. The standard shafts are typically incorporated into the pre-packaged branded clubs offered by the customers. As a result, the Company offers the customers a limited level of customization.

The Company offers economy shafts to other non-branded golf club manufacturers. The non-branded golf clubs target the beginners with low budget. Therefore, the Company manufactured the economy shafts based on industry standard specifications with little customization, and generally produced them in bulk orders.

The Company primarily markets steel golf club shafts. Beginning in 2017, the Company expanded its product offering to include carbon fiber (graphite) shafts. Graphite shafts are typically lighter than steel shafts, which allows golfers to generate greater clubhead speed and distance. They are also typically offered in ultra-lite weight series of products, which can help golfers with slower swing speeds achieve greater distance. Steel shafts are generally heavier than graphite shafts, which makes them more stable during the swing, and is generally preferred by stronger, faster-swinging golfers who value control over distance.

Premium Shafts

The Company’s premium shafts are marketed under the Company’s own KBS brand. For the year ended December 31, 2023, sales of the premium shafts made up approximately 62% of the Company’s revenues. Premium shafts are distinguished from the Company’s other products in that they are manufactured entirely to the Company’s proprietary designs, with different tooling and manufacturing processes to ensure consistency and reduce torque, and are subject to the most rigorous quality and inspection requirements out of all of the Company’s products. The premium shafts are also subject to additional coating to give them a premium finish and appearance.

The Company primarily supplies the premium shafts to (a) major international golf club brands to be fitted in their premium clubs, (b) national golf merchandise distributors to be resold in their shops as standalone products, and (c) retail customers who desire to upgrade their equipment using customary fitting process through the Company’s online store or KBS Golf Experience store.

Premium shafts comprise a full product line of shafts for drivers, wedges, and putters.

The typical manufacturing process of a shaft is illustrated by the flowchart below. The process starts by welding steel coils into tubes, then heating the tubes for a period of time using spherodizing annealing to improve ductility and relieve stress in order to allow the steel tubes to be further worked. Thereafter, the tubes are coated with phosphate to improve corrosion resistance and lubrication, and then put through an automatic swaging machine to shape the dimensions of the eventual shaft. A draw bench is then used to pull the shaft through a drawing die to shape its ends. Then, the shafts are cut for the first time and polished, then tempered through stepping by heating them above a critical temperature then quenched in an oil bath to improve toughness until the temperature becomes uniform throughout the entire length of the shafts, then cooled in air to room temperature. Thereafter the shafts are straightened, polished at the edges to remove

Seasonality

Historically speaking, in general, driven by the large international exhibitions such as the PGA Merchandise Show and the beginning of new golf season, the Company’s sales in the first quarter of a year are typically higher than the other quarters. The Company’s second-quarter sales are primarily impacted by the weather conditions, which affects the length of golf season and the number of discretionary purchases made by golfers. Third-quarter sales are generally less than the second quarter as many retailers begin decreasing their inventory levels in anticipation of the end of the golf season. Fourth-quarter sales are generally less than the other quarters due to the end of the golf season in the Company’s current key markets.

However, this seasonality has been significantly reshaped in recent years. The COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted these patterns by depressing demand in 2020 and 2021. The easing in travel restriction and the rising popularity of golf among millennials help sustain heightened demand for golf equipment throughout 2022. The Company expects that due to increasing geopolitical tension, global economy slowdown and rising inflation rates, the demand for golf equipment will revert to the traditionally observed seasonality pattern.

Facilities

The Company has historically leased all of its office and plant facilities. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located at No. 3, Gongye 1st Rd., Minxiong Township, Chiayi County 621018, Taiwan, where it leases an office with 30,760 square meters pursuant to a lease agreement that is in effect until December 31, 2024. The corporate headquarters primarily contain administrative, factory plant, and warehouse functions.

In 2023, the Company purchased land and buildings located in Minxiong Township of Chiayi County, Taiwan to serve as the site of its future factory expansion. We purchased two land parcels including No. 22 and 22-1 of the Industrial Subsection of Touqiao Section and six construction projects including No. 11 and 11-1~11-5 were acquired, with a total of 3,045.87 square meters (10,069 square meters) acquired, and the transaction price was NT$296,000,000. To finance the NT$296,000,000 purchase price, FST utilized a combination of long-term funds (amount not specified) and a secured bank loan of NT$224,000,000 (approximately 76% of the total cost) from the Bank of Taiwan. The loan has a 15-year term with an interest rate of 1.78% for the first two years and 1.82% thereafter. The real estate sales contract was signed on July 11, 2023, marking the official start of the activity. Completion occurred on September 20, 2023, with the finalization of property and mortgage rights registration under FST’s ownership. The primary drivers behind this acquisition stem from FST’s significant production capacity growth in recent years, exemplified by a 67.98% increase in average monthly production capacity in 2022 compared to 2018. This expansion necessitated additional space for production lines, personnel, quality control, packaging, warehousing, and office functions. Previously leased office space and production facilities were no longer sufficient to accommodate these growing needs. The acquisition offers several key benefits. First, by eliminating rental costs (saving NT$5,400,000 annually), FST achieves significant cost savings. Second, consolidating operations like quality control and packaging on-site fosters improved operational efficiency. Third, the new site allows FST to showcase its entire production process and finished products to customers, enhancing brand image. Finally, the additional land provides a platform for future factory development, with the potential to increase production capacity from 900,000 to 1.5 million shafts per month through optimized production line configuration and automation. FST plans to relocate some administrative departments (management, accounting, R&D, catering, planning, audit) and certain manufacturing processes (including quality inspection and golf simulators) to the new site. An exhibition warehouse will also be established for a complete customer experience.

The approval must be obtained before the final completion of the transaction.

Regulations on Mergers and Acquisitions

The main laws and regulations governing merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activities in Taiwan are the Merger and Acquisition Act, the Company Act, the Securities and Exchange Act and the Fair Trade Act.

The competent authority in charge of the regulations in relation to M&A is the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The main regulatory body in charge of public M&A transactions is the Securities and Futures Bureau of the Financial Supervisory Commission, the government agency in charge of public companies. Other relevant regulatory bodies include the Fair Trade Commission, the authority in charge of antitrust clearance, and the Taiwan DIR, the authority in charge of reviewing foreign and PRC investments.

Regulations on Intellectual Property Rights

Patent Protection

Pursuant to the Patent Act, amended on May 4, 2022, there are three types of patents in Taiwan: invention patents, utility model patents, and design patents, the respective patent terms of which are 20, 10, and 15 years, all calculated from the filing date of a patent application, while the patent rights are actionable from the issue date of the patent.

In terms of the infringement disputes of a patent, the civil division of the Intellectual Property and Commercial Court (“IP Court”) hears civil actions relating to patent infringement. If the defendant of an infringement action challenges the validity of the disputed patent as a defense, the civil division will deal with the infringement and validity issues simultaneously. However, any person who intends to invalidate the disputed patent in all aspects must file revocation proceedings (invalidation action) with the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office (“TIPO”). Decisions of the TIPO in an invalidation action can be appealed to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and subsequently to the IP Court by way of filing an administrative lawsuit.

The Company has never been involved in patent-related disputes.

Copyright

The Copyright Law provides that original copyrightable works shall enjoy exclusive rights automatically upon their completion, with no form of registration required. The competent authority for the application and registration of trademarks is the TIPO under the Ministry of Economic Affairs. A copyrighted work is protected throughout the author’s lifetime and 50 years after.

As a copyright holder, when enforcing a copyright, bears the burden of proving the copyright ownership (and sometimes even the creation time of the copyright, if such issue is being raised), it is recommended to preserve relevant evidence by having it notarized by a notary public. For important copyrighted work, it is recommendable to obtain a copyright certificate issued by a copyright owners’ organization so as to serve as prima facie evidence of the completion and ownership of the copyright. However, it is important to note that such private organizations do not and cannot conduct any substantive examination of the copyrightability of a work. Therefore, when a work’s copyrightable is being challenged, only a court will have a final say over such dispute on a case-by-case basis.

The Company has never been involved in copyright-related disputes.

Trademarks

Trademark rights in Taiwan are governed by the Trademark Act. The competent authority for the application and registration of trademarks is the TIPO. Types of protection include trademarks, certification marks, collective membership marks and collective trademarks. The trademarks which were registered are protected for 10 years from publication in the Trademark Gazette. This term may be extended successively every 10 years via application for renewal.

The Company has been involved in one trademark dispute. A Taiwan company filed a trademark opposition with TIPO in August 2023 objecting to the registration of the Company’s FST trademarks in Taiwan (Registration Numbers 02307326, 02307516, and 02307578). This matter is still ongoing. The Company is of the view that this matter would have minimal impact to its business, as the Company also has validly registered FST trademarks in the U.S. and most of the Company’s sales are generated from the U.S. and countries other than Taiwan.

Trade Secrets

The Taiwan Trade Secret Act mainly governs the following items: (1) the required elements of a trade secret; (2) ownership of a trade secret; (3) the licensing of a trade secret; (4) misappropriation of a trade secret; (5) the civil remedy and criminal penalty for the misappropriation of a trade secret; (6) the issuance of a protective order during criminal investigation.

Under the Trade Secret Act, the types of misappropriation include acquisition, use and divulging of a trade secret by unlawful means. The Trade Secret Act provides civil remedies and criminal penalties for trade-secret misappropriation.

The Company has never been involved in trade secrets issues or disputes.

Regulations on Personal Data Protection

Under Taiwan law, the Personal Data Protection Act is the main law governing personal data protection.

In addition, other laws and regulations in Taiwan regulate each type of pollution by a different set of regulations, including the Soil and Groundwater Pollution Remediation Act, the Waste Disposal Act, the Air Pollution Control Act, the Water Pollution Control Act, and Toxic and Concerned Chemical Substances Control Act.

Regulations on Foreign Currency Exchange

The principal regulation governing foreign currency exchange in Taiwan is the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, amended on April 29, 2009. Pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, Taiwan Dollars amounting under the amount of NTD 500,000 are freely convertible no matter what transaction they are in relation with. On the other hand, the transactions involving NTD 500,000 or more or its equivalent in foreign currency shall fulfill certain obligations as provided in the Regulations Governing the Declaration of Foreign Exchange Receipts and Disbursements or Transactions.

Under the Regulations Governing the Declaration of Foreign Exchange Receipts and Disbursements or Transactions, for those foreign exchange transactions which amounts of NTD 500,000 or more and relates to the sales of goods or provision of services, such transaction shall be declared through filing a declaration statement. For those foreign exchange transactions which are not related to the sales of goods or provision of services by a company, ranging from NTD 500,000 to U.S.$50 million, such transaction shall be declared through filing a declaration statement, and providing supporting documents, such as contracts or letters of approval, to the bank. For those foreign exchange transactions by a company, which are not related to the sales of goods or provision of services, amounting more than USD 50 million, such transaction shall be declared through filing a declaration statement, providing supporting documents to the bank, and obtaining the approval of the Central Bank of Taiwan.

Though Taiwan government has promulgated the Regulations Governing Foreign Exchange Control on July 2, 1997, pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, the requirements for the government to implement those foreign exchange control measures should be subject to either of the following conditions: (1) when the domestic or foreign economic disorder might endanger the stability of the domestic economy; and (2) when this country suffers a severe balance of payments deficit. From the past history, Taiwan government only implemented those foreign exchange control measures once in 1997 during the Asian Financial Crisis.

Regulations on Dividend Distribution

The principal regulations governing dividend distribution is the Company Act. Pursuant to the Company Act, a Taiwan company may not pay dividends unless its losses have been covered and statutory reserve funds, equaling 10% of a company’s after-tax net profits, have been set aside. However, in the event that a company’s statutory reserve funds have reached the total amount of the company’s capital, the company does not need to set aside any amounts for its statutory reserve funds. If a company has no net profits, in principle, it may not pay dividends.

After the amendment of the Company Act on August 1, 2018, transferring a company’s stocks to the employees of the company’s parent company or its subsidiaries under the employee stock incentive plan is also permitted by law.

Regulations on Employment and Social Insurance

The labor law in Taiwan is regulated mainly by the Labor Standards Act, last amended on June 10, 2020. The Labor Standards Act governs the terms and conditions of employment such as working hours, holidays, rest periods, wages, overtime, leave, and termination of employment. According to Labor Standard Act, an employer is required to reach an agreement on salary with the employees, in which the agreed salary shall meet with the minimum amount set by the competent authority. Violations of the Labor Standards Act may result in fines and other administrative sanctions, and serious violations may result in criminal liabilities.

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the employer shall arrange safety equipment to prevent any emergency. In addition, the employer shall provide safety education and trainings for the employees which shall enable the employees to protect themselves when any accident occurs.

Taiwan governmental authorities have passed a variety of laws and regulations regarding social insurance and employee’s pension from time to time, including, among others, the Labor Insurance Act, the National Health Insurance Act, the Labor Pension Act, and the Employment Insurance Act. Pursuant to these laws and regulations, Taiwan companies must make contributions at specified levels for their employees to the relevant social insurance and pension funds. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations may result in various fines and legal sanctions.

The Company has generally been compliant with all requirements under the aforementioned labor laws and regulations. There were several instances of minor sanctions where the Company had been required by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration of the Ministry of Labor to rectify certain potential working condition hazards and practices and was subject to minor fines, although all of these issues had been quickly addressed and rectified by the Company. The Company has not experienced any lawsuits or disputes with its employees that became subject to administrative review of the Taiwan Labor Bureau or ended in litigation.

Regulations on Taxation

According to the Taiwan Income Tax Act, a company incorporated in Taiwan is a Taiwan tax resident and will be subject to 20% corporate income tax on its worldwide income. A non-resident company will be subject to 20% corporate income tax on its Taiwan-sourced income. If a resident company does not distribute its financial earnings generated in a year to its shareholders by the end of the following year, a surtax of 5% would be imposed on the undistributed earnings.

Effective from 2020, the Taiwan Statute for Industrial Innovation was amended, which extends the tax incentive by 10 years until December 31, 2029, for R&D expenditure. Under the tax incentive program, a company conducting qualifying R&D activities may select one of the following incentives: (i) up to 15% of qualifying R&D expenses may be credited against corporate income tax payable in the current year; or (ii) up to 10% of qualifying R&D expenses may be credited against corporate income tax payable in the year expenses incurred and carried forward for the next 2 years. In addition, if a company uses NTD 1 million or more of its undistributed earnings to construct or purchase buildings, software or hardware equipment, or technology for use in production or operation within 3 years from the year after such earnings are derived, such investment amounts may be deducted from the undistributed earnings in calculation of the current year’s undistributed earnings for assessment of surtax imposed on undistributed earnings from the year 2018.

The alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) imposed under the Taiwan Income Basic Tax Act is a supplemental income tax which applies if the amount of regular income tax calculated pursuant to the Taiwan Income Tax Act and relevant laws and regulations is below the amount of basic tax prescribed under the Taiwan Income Basic Tax Act. The taxable income for calculating AMT includes most income that is exempt from income tax under various legislations, such as capital gains from qualified securities and future transactions. The prevailing AMT rate for business entities is between 12% to 15%, which is determined by the Executive Yuan based on the economic circumstance.

According to the Taiwan Income Tax Act, a withholding tax rate of 21% shall generally be applicable to dividends distributed to non-Taiwan resident enterprise/individual investors. The withholding tax on the dividends may be reduced pursuant to a tax treaty between Taiwan and the jurisdictions in which the non-Taiwan shareholders reside. Taiwan currently has a treaty network with 34 countries.

Regulations Pertaining to the Company’s Products

The Company’s current product portfolio does not require any mandatory government approval prior to commercial product launch under the existing laws and regulations in Taiwan, Japan, the U.S., or Europe.

However, in order to become eligible to become a supplier for golf club shaft products to golf brand companies and OEM/ODMs, there are industry quality standards which the Company’s customers require the Company to attain, as follows:

ISO 9001:2015 specifies requirements for a quality management system when an organization needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, and aims to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system, including processes for improvement of the system and the assurance of conformity to customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. The Company has attained ISO 9001:2015 certification for the design, manufacture, processing, and sale of golf club shaft products. The certification is valid until August 14, 2025.

For the import of crafted beer and wine product, the Company should comply with the requirements of the Tobacco and Alcohol Administration Act of Taiwan. An alcohol-importing company shall apply to National Treasury Administration, Ministry of Finance of Taiwan for a permit to import alcohol. After obtaining the import permit, the applicant should indicate alcohol importation as part of its business scope on its business registration, then apply for issuance of an alcohol importer license. No permit is required for the retail of alcohol. However, the retailer of alcohol should indicate the retail on its business registration. Currently, the Company possesses a valid alcohol import license.

Legal Proceedings

The Company is not currently a party to legal or government proceedings that may be, individually or collectively, materially adverse to its ability to conduct its businesses as they are currently conducted. From time to time, the Company may become subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Although the results of litigation and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, any such future litigation could have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources and other factors.

Company Overview

Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., is a renowned manufacturer and innovator in the golf industry with a growing portfolio of innovative golf products, including acclaimed golf club shafts and other equipment. Founded in Taiwan in 1976 and commencing golf club shaft manufacture in 1992, the Company has spent more than three decades meticulously crafting high-performance shafts for golfers worldwide.

Since 1992, the Company has engaged in the research and development, manufacturing and sales of golf club shafts. The Company currently produces and sells golf club shafts under the Company’s own high-performance “KBS” golf club shaft brand, and serves as an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and original design manufacturer (ODM) for other world-renowned golf equipment brands, golf equipment OEMs, and golf equipment distributors that provide consumers with customized golf club services. The Company also develops its retail presences in the U.S. and Japan markets through its KBS Golf Experience stores, which provide retail customers new equipment build services and retro-build services for existing clubs.

In 2007, the Company first used the “KBS” brand as a part of broader initiatives to transition from an OEM for other international golf brands to an operator of an independent and competitive brand. The development of KBS brand is led by renowned designer Kim Braly.

The Company first introduced its KBS brand into the U.S. market through its presence in the PGA tour in 2008. Since its launch, the Company continuously cultivated the KBS brand through the launch of golf shaft series that are well respected by the golf community: KBS Tour shaft series in 2008, KBS C-Taper steel shaft series in 2011, KBS Tour Hybrid series in 2017, KBS Tour-TGI graphite series in 2018 and KBS TD Driver graphite shafts series in 2020. Through the expansion of its product lines to encompass both steel club shafts and carbon fiber club shafts, the Company believes that this comprehensive approach addresses customers’ preferences for one-stop shopping, significantly enhancing the Company’s and brands’ capabilities to accept orders and negotiate. Since 2016, the Company has supplied golf shafts directly to PGA players. This initiative allows PGA players to test the shafts and participate in competitions using them, and opens up a pathway for the Company to collect feedback from professional players. Close interactions with the top professional players also provide the Company with opportunities to market its KBS shafts. Since 2016, the Company has assumed brand management responsibilities by directly providing golf shafts to PGA players. As of December 31, 2023, 27 PGA players were using KBS brand shafts in their professional competitions. Propelled by the professional endorsement and high market visibility, the Company has successfully evolved from being an OEM for international brands to a trusted provider of golf shafts under its proprietary brand “KBS”.

To further raise the brand awareness and directly connect with customers, the Company has established the KBS Golf Experience stores in the U.S. and Japan, located in Carlsbad, California and Tokyo, Japan, respectively. These stores offer golf club customization and fitting services for individual customers, and are equipped with simulation tracking technology, software tools, and data recording systems. By quantifying the performance of golf clubs used on courses and analyzing consumer preferences and swing performance on-site, the staffs are able to recommend suitable

golf equipment for golfers of different age, gender, and experience level. The Company believes the direct interactions with customers will enhance brand awareness and loyalty. Feedback from customers serves as valuable reference points for future product development, which, in turn, helps sustain the competitiveness of the Company’s products.

The Company believes that it will be able to continue improve the competition positioning by adhering closely to consumer demand, augmented by strong brand development efforts, a comprehensive product line, and online and offline sale touch points.

Key Factors Affecting Operating Results

The Group believes its performance depends on several factors that present signiﬁcant opportunities for it but also pose risks and challenges, including those discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Consumer demand and global economic conditions.

Consumer demand for our products and services may be affected by the performance of the general economy, and is also sensitive to personal discretionary spending levels. Declines in consumer demand due to adverse general economic conditions, risks affecting or reducing leisure spending, lower consumer confidence and adverse political conditions can subject and have subjected our revenues to significant volatility.

Proprietary brand value

Compared with the other golf equipment suppliers in Taiwan, the Group is one of few manufacturers in the Taiwanese golf industry which markets products globally under its proprietary brand (KBS). The Group’s design team caters to the needs of PGA professional players to design and develop the club shafts per the players’ needs and suggestions. As the Group controls the brand channels, it can enjoy the brand profit with higher gross profit margin than the other peers engaged in OEM in Taiwan and continue to develop products based on the brand platform to create business opportunities and improve the competitive strength. The KBS branded club shafts have been adopted by well-known PGA professional players for many years and, therefore, built considerable brand awareness. International major manufacturers, such as TaylorMade, Callaway, PXG and Mizuno, also work with the Group to assemble and sell the Group’s KBS club shafts, and the brand becomes the hot-selling shaft brand for sport goods chain channels and professional golf equipment assembly service providers. The Group’s KBS brand has covered multiple sales channels successively and improved consumers’ identification and loyalty toward its products with its brand, thereby creating the largest business opportunity for the Group. If the Group is not able to maintain the brand value of KBS brand, including reduction the product releases, reduction in the number of PGA endorsements, any negative publicities, the results of operation, business and financial condition of the Group may be materially and adversely affected.

Research and Development Investment

The Group owns the production technology for iron club shafts. Meanwhile, the iron golf clubs under its private brands, such as KBS Tour and KBS C-Taper, are extensively favored by professional players, pro gamers and amateur players and, therefore, enjoy considerable publicity in the industry. In recent years, the Group has extended its product lines based on the KBS brand and successively launched the Hybrid, TGI and TD series carbon fiber club products, thus making the product lines more complete to satisfy the golf brand customers’ need for one-stop shopping of various specifications and functions.

Meanwhile, it continues to improve the process and purchase automated production equipment to reduce human resource for production and shorten the delivery period. In recent years, the Group has obtained the production information and energy consumption data via IoT technology and combined equipment and production information collection and analysis to improve the production capacity of equipment and energy consumption efficiency, thus improving the entire benefits.

The Group plans to continue to invest in research and development to be in a leading position for the next stage of golf club shaft competition. However, if the Group’s investment does not yield in meaningful results, such as new golf shaft material composition, improvement in manufacturing efficiency, the results of operation, business and financial condition of the Group may be materially and adversely affected.

Competition

In order to attract consumers, golf brand suppliers keep innovating their products to shorten the product life cycle and development schedule significantly. In order to satisfy customers’ demand for launch of new products, it is necessary to develop new products and implement the mass production in a short time. The Group appoints dedicated personnel to follow PGA players when they attend any games and provide feedback to the R&D team based on the players’ suggestions and needs. Meanwhile, in recent years, it has catered to consumers’ needs and verified the market development trend by managing the KBS brand flagship store. It continues to improve the shaft design and invests capital in the development of new product designs to satisfy customers’ needs rapidly.

The Group faces fierce competition in all product categories. In the premium shaft sector, the Group competes with other international brands that are more well-known and have more financial resources, such as Tempest, Nippon and Project X. In the standard and economy shaft sector, the Group competes with other OEMs in Taiwan, the PRC or other regions both on pricing, delivery lead time, manufacturing capacity and production yield. There is no guarantee that the Group will be able to maintain its competition positioning in any product sector. If the Group’s competition positioning deteriorates, the results of operation, business and financial condition of the Group will be materially and adversely affected.

Impact of COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic affected businesses around the world. Many countries imposed restrictions on travel and enforced store closures, encouraging people to stay at home and avoid gathering in public places. The COVID-19 pandemic initially disrupted the seasonal trends of golf equipment industry, dampening demand in 2020. But as lockdowns eased in 2021, a surge in interest in outdoor activities propelled golf’s popularity.

However, the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact Group’s long-term results remains uncertain, and CCT is closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 pandemic internally. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to CayCo and the Company’s Business — Unfavorable economic conditions, including as a result of lingering COVID-19 effects, inflation or otherwise, could have a negative impact on consumer discretionary spending and therefore negatively impact the Group’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.”

Basis of Presentation

The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.

Of the total revenue of $49,779,465 for the year ended December 31, 2022, $49,111,948 of revenue was from the sales of golf club shafts, and $667,517 of revenue was from the sales of sports accessories, food and beverage. The total revenue decreased from $49,779,465 for the year ended December 31, 2023 to $28,730,549 for the year ended December 31, 2023, representing a 42.3% decrease. The total revenue decreased in the year ended December 31, 2023 due to decline of sales volume: i) as the weaker demands from our customers for their spending on golf under the impact of slowdown in global economy; ii) besides, with the easing of the COVID-19 pandemic, golf is no longer the only outdoor sports option during the pandemic.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue decreased by $7,919,584 or 34.1%, from $23,207,116 for the year ended December 31, 2022 to $15,287,532 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was in line with the decrease in total revenue.

Gross profit margin increased to 46.8% for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to 53.4% for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of gross profit margin was primarily attributable to the decrease of products sold, as the Group sold less KBS golf club shafts compared to that for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The decrease was mainly due to: i) the decline of the foreign exchange rate gain of $1,577,805 because of less favorable exchange rate gain of USD to TWD; ii) the increase of investment loss on long-term investment of $466,262 of investment in Factory Automation Technology Co., Ltd.

Income tax benefit was $$103,408 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and income tax expenses was $3,094,759 for the year ended December 31, 2022. This was mainly due to the fact that taxable income turned to loss from the year ended December 31, 2022 to 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Historically, we have financed our operations mainly through equity contributions from the Company’s shareholders and cash flow from operating activities in ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,098,933 and $8,904,618, which consisted of cash, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. The Group believes that cash on hand will be sufficient to meet the working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and sufficient to fund its operations.

To the extent that our current resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may need to seek additional equity or debt financing. If the financing is not available, or if the terms of financing are less desirable than we expect, we may be forced to decrease our level of investment in research and development or delay, scale back or abandon all or part of our growth strategy, which could have an adverse impact on our business and financial prospects.

Material Contractual Obligations and Commitments

For a discussion of material contractual obligations and commitments, see Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Group’s consolidated financial statements and Note 16 “Commitments and Contingencies” to the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, the Group did not have any relationships with unconsolidated organizations or financial partnerships, such as structured finance or special purpose entities, which were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The Group’s consolidated financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement/prospectus have been prepared using the significant measurement bases. We believe that the following estimates are those most critical to the judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.

Evaluation of inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value. Costs are computed under the standard cost method, which approximates actual costs determined on the weighted-average basis. The Group records inventory write-downs as cost of revenue for excess or obsolete inventories based upon assumptions on current and future demand forecasts. If the inventory on hand is in excess of future demand forecast, the excess amounts are written off. The Group also reviews inventory to determine whether its carrying value exceeds the net amount realizable upon the ultimate sale of the inventory. This requires the determination of the estimated selling price of the inventory less the estimated cost to convert inventory on hand into a finished product. Once inventory is written-down, a new, lower-cost basis for that inventory is established and subsequent changes in facts and circumstances do not result in the restoration or increase in that newly established cost basis.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of our results of operations and liquidity and capital resources are based on our audited financial information. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities in our financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments, including those related to fair value of financial instruments and accrued expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience, known trends and events and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a discussion of our new or recently adopted accounting pronouncements, see Note 2(aa) “Recently accounting pronouncements” to the Group’s consolidated financial statements and Note 2(e) “Recently accounting pronouncements” to the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement.

Emerging Growth Company Status

As defined in Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act, the Group is as an emerging growth company (“EGC”). As such, the Group will be eligible for and intends to rely on certain exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act, including (a) the exemption from the auditor attestation requirements with respect to internal control over financial reporting under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (b) the exemptions from say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and say-on-golden parachute voting requirements and (c) reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements.

The Group will remain an EGC under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of the fiscal year in which the market value of the Group’s Common Shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of the second quarter of that fiscal year, (ii) the last day of the fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during such fiscal year (as indexed for inflation), (iii) the date on which it has issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in the prior three-year period or (iv) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the IPO.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

The Group qualifies as a “foreign private issuer” as defined under SEC rules. Even after the Group no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, as long as the Group continues to qualify as a foreign private issuer under SEC rules, the Group is exempt from certain SEC rules that are applicable to U.S. domestic public companies, including:

• the rules requiring domestic filers to issue financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP;

• the sections of the Exchange Act regulating the solicitation of proxies, consents or authorizations in respect of a security registered under the Exchange Act;

• the sections of the Exchange Act requiring insiders to file public reports of their share ownership and trading activities and liability for insiders who profit from trades made in a short period of time;

• the rules under the Exchange Act requiring the filing with the SEC of quarterly reports on Form 10-Q containing financial statements and other specified information, and current reports on Form 8-K upon the occurrence of specified significant events; and

• the selective disclosure rules by issuers of material nonpublic information under Regulation FD.

Notwithstanding these exemptions, the Group will file with the SEC, within four months after the end of each fiscal year, or such applicable time as required by the SEC, an annual report on Form 20-F containing financial statements audited by an independent registered public accounting firm.

The Group may take advantage of these exemptions until such time as the Group is no longer a foreign private issuer. The Group would cease to be a foreign private issuer at such time as more than 50% of its outstanding voting securities are held by U.S. residents and any of the following three circumstances applies: (i) the majority of its executive officers or directors are U.S. citizens or residents, (ii) more than 50% of its assets are located in the United States or (iii) its business is administered principally in the United States.

Both foreign private issuers and emerging growth companies also are exempt from certain more stringent executive compensation disclosure rules. Thus, even if the Group no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, but remains a foreign private issuer, the Group will continue to be exempt from the more stringent compensation disclosures required of companies that are neither an emerging growth company nor a foreign private issuer.

Table of Contents

In addition, because the Group qualifies as a foreign private issuer under SEC rules, the Group is permitted to follow the corporate governance practices of Taiwan (the jurisdiction in which the Group is organized) in lieu of certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements that would otherwise be applicable to the Group.

If at any time the Group ceases to be a foreign private issuer, the Group will take all action necessary to comply with the SEC and Nasdaq Listing Rules.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Group is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The main types of risks are foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. Furthermore, the Group does not have foreign-exchange hedging contracts in place with respect to all currencies in which it does business.

Foreign Currency Risk

The Group’s results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. FST and the Group’s subsidiary in Japan may be exposed to significant currency risks from exchange rate fluctuations and the degree of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the TWD, and between the U.S. Dollar and the JPY. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the TWD denominated cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $7,099,748 and $8,856,143, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the JPY denominated cash and cash equivalents amounted to $95,226 and $105,373, respectively.

Interest Rates Risk

The Group is subject to interest rate risk. Bank interest bearing loans are charged at variable interest rates within the reporting period. The Group is subject to the risk of adverse changes in the interest rates charged by the banks when these loans are refinanced.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that the counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The Group’s credit risk was mainly arising from bank deposits, trade receivables, other receivables, other financial assets, and refundable deposits. The Group limits its credit risk by reviewing its counterparties’ financial condition and payment practices to minimize collection risks on its accounts receivable.

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Executive Compensation Prior to the Business Combination

SPAC

None of SPAC’s executive officers or directors has received any cash compensation for services rendered. The Sponsors, SPAC’s directors, officers and their respective affiliates, will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on SPAC’s behalf, such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. SPAC’s audit committee will review on a quarterly basis all payments that were made to these persons. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made from funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid to the New SPAC Sponsor, SPAC’s executive officers and directors, or affiliates, prior to completion of SPAC’s initial business combination.

It is possible that some or all of SPAC’s executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements with the post-business combination company after SPAC’s initial business combination. Any such arrangements will be disclosed in the proxy solicitation or tender offer materials, as applicable, furnished to SPAC Shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination, to the extent they are known at such time.

The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements may influence SPAC’s management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business, but SPAC does not believe that such arrangements will be a determining factor in SPAC’s decision to proceed with any potential business combination.

Company Employee Benefit Plan

In addition, employees can voluntarily contribute to their retirement pensions by making voluntary pension payments.

FST had an employee option plan that existed from July 26, 2018 to July 25, 2021. It consisted of a total of 800,000 share available for issuance.

Executive Compensation After the Business Combination

Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the compensation committee of CayCo, which committee will be established at the closing of the Business Combination.

Post-Closing Employment Agreements

In accordance with the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo intends to enter into employment agreements with its executive officers prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Although the terms of these agreements are still being finalized, CayCo expects that the agreements will have a fixed term of years, with annual renewals thereafter, subject to termination in accordance with each agreement’s terms and conditions. CayCo expects that each executive will be entitled to an annual salary, to be reviewed each year, an annual target bonus opportunity (calculated as a percentage of annual salary) paid in cash and an equity incentive grant. CayCo anticipates the agreements will contain severance provisions whereby, if the executive is terminated other than for cause or resigns for good reason, then the executive will be paid a lump sum payment calculated based on his or her salary and bonus, in exchange for a release of claims in our favor. If the executive is terminated for cause, CayCo anticipates the agreements will provide that the executive would receive no amounts other than amounts accrued at the date of termination and any vested benefits under company benefit plans. CayCo expects that all unvested equity awards would become fully vested in connection with a change of control.

New Equity Incentive Plan

A new equity incentive plan (“New Equity Incentive Plan”) will be adopted in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement for the purpose of granting or issuing equity incentive compensation to employees and other service providers of FST.

Prior to the Closing Date under the Business Combination Agreement, CayCo shall approve and adopt the New Equity Incentive Plan, in a form with customary terms and conditions that is reasonably agreed by and between SPAC and FST, provided that the total reserved pool size under such plan shall not exceed 10% of the total issued and outstanding share capital of CayCo at the Closing Date except with prior written consent of SPAC and Chenghe Investment Co., a Cayman Islands exempted company.

Duties of Directors

Under Cayman Islands law, our directors owe fiduciary duties to our company, including a duty of loyalty, a duty to act honestly, and a duty to act in good faith in what they consider to be in our best interests. Our directors must also exercise their powers only for a proper purpose. CayCo’ directors also have a duty to exercise the skills they actually possess and such care and diligence that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances. In fulfilling their duty of care to us, our directors must ensure compliance with our memorandum and articles of association as may be amended from time to time. CayCo has a right to seek damages against any director who breaches a duty owed to us. The functions and powers of our board of directors include, among others:

• convening shareholders’ annual general meetings and reporting its work to shareholders at such meetings;

• declaring dividends and distributions;

• appointing officers and determining the term of office of officers; and

• exercising the borrowing powers of our company and mortgaging the property of our company.

Terms of Directors and Officers

CayCo’s officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the board of directors. Our directors are not subject to a term of office and hold office until their resignation, death or incapacity, or until their respective successors have been elected and qualified or until his or her office is otherwise vacated in accordance with our amended and restated articles of association. A director will also be removed from office automatically if, among other things, the director (i) becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors, (ii) dies or is found to be or becomes of unsound mind, (iii) resigns his office by notice in writing, (iv) is prohibited by any applicable law or designated stock exchange rules from being a director, or (v) is removed from office pursuant to any other provisions of CayCo’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

Indemnification and Insurance Obligations of CayCo following the Business Combination

Cayman Islands law allows CayCo to indemnify our directors, officers and auditors acting in relation to any of its affairs against actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses incurred by reason of any act done or omitted in the execution of their duties as CayCo’s directors, officers and auditors.

Under CayCo Listing Articles, CayCo may indemnify its directors and officers to, among other persons, its Directors and officers from and against all actions, costs, charges, losses, damages and expenses which they or any of them may incur or sustain by reason of any act done, concurred in or omitted in or about the execution of their duty or supposed duty in their respective offices or trusts or in or about the conduct of the CayCo’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment), except such (if any) as they shall incur or sustain through their own fraud, willful default or dishonesty.

The directors and officers of CayCo will be indemnified by CayCo and will be covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination.

Foreign Private Issuer Status

After the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo will be a “foreign private issuer” under the securities laws of the United States and Listing Rules. Under the securities laws of the United States, “foreign private issuers” are subject to different disclosure requirements than U.S. registrants.

257

Table of Contents

The Listing Rules include certain accommodations in the corporate governance requirements that allow foreign private issuers, such as CayCo, to follow home country corporate governance practices in lieu of the otherwise applicable corporate governance standards of the Nasdaq. The application of such exceptions requires that CayCo discloses any significant ways that its corporate governance practices differ from the Listing Rules that CayCo does not follow.

Independence of Directors

As a result of its securities being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo will adhere to the rules of such exchange, as applicable to foreign private issuers and controlled companies, in determining whether a director is independent. The board of directors of CayCo has consulted, and will consult, with its counsel to ensure that the board of director’s determinations are consistent with those rules and all relevant securities and other laws and regulations regarding the independence of directors.

Upon the Closing, we anticipate that the size of CayCo’s board of directors will be seven directors, four of whom will qualify as independent within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of Nasdaq. We anticipate that Nick Ping-Chia Chen, Alan Yu-Cheng Li, Huoy-Ming Yeh and Richard Qi Li will be “independent directors” as defined in the rules of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules.

Insider Trading Policy

Upon closing of the Business Combination, CayCo intends to adopt an insider trading policy which will prohibit its executives, other employees and directors from: (i) trading in its securities while in possession of material undisclosed information about CayCo; and (ii) entering into certain derivative-based transactions that involve, directly or indirectly, securities of CayCo, during a restricted period.

Diversity

The CayCo Board has not adopted any policies that address the identification and nomination of women or other diverse candidates to the CayCo Board or to management of CayCo. The CayCo Board recognizes the importance and benefit of having a board of directors and senior management composed of highly talented and experienced individuals having regard to the need to foster and promote diversity among board members and senior management with respect to attributes such as gender, ethnicity and other factors. In support of this goal, the nominating and corporate governance committee intends to, when identifying candidates to nominate for election to the CayCo Board or appoint as senior management or in its review of senior management succession planning and talent management:

• consider individuals who are highly qualified, based on their talents, experience, functional expertise and personal skills, character and qualities having regard to CayCo’s current and future plans and objectives, as well as anticipated regulatory and market developments;

• consider criteria that promote diversity, including with regard to gender, ethnicity, and other considerations;

• consider the level of representation of women on its board of directors and in senior management positions, along with other markers of diversity, when making recommendations for nominees to the CayCo Board or for appointment as senior management and in general with regard to succession planning for the CayCo Board and senior management; and

• as required, engage qualified independent external advisors to assist the CayCo Board in conducting its search for candidates that meet the board of directors’ criteria regarding skills, experience and diversity.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo will establish a separately standing audit committee, nominating and corporate governance committee and compensation committee. The CayCo Board will adopt a charter for each of these committees. CayCo intends to comply with future Nasdaq requirements to the extent they will be applicable to CayCo.

258

Audit Committee

Upon the Closing, CayCo’s audit committee will be composed of , and with serving as chairperson. CayCo’s Board has determined that all such directors meet the independence requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate, in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee requirements, and possesses prior experience sitting in auditing committees of publicly-listed companies. In arriving at this determination, the CayCo Board examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Upon the Closing, CayCo’s nominating and corporate governance committee will be composed of , and with serving as chairperson. The nominating and corporate governance committee is responsible for the assessment of the performance of the board, considering and making recommendations to the board with respect to the nominations or elections of directors and other governance issues.

Compensation Committee

Upon the Closing, CayCo’s compensation committee will be composed of , and with serving as chairperson. The compensation committee is responsible for reviewing and making recommendations to the CayCo Board regarding its compensation policies for its officers and all forms of compensation. The compensation committee will also administer CayCo’s equity-based and incentive compensation plans and make recommendations to the CayCo Board about amendments to such plans and the adoption of any new employee incentive compensation plans.

Code of Ethics

CayCo will adopt a Code of Ethics that applies to all of its employees, officers, and directors. This includes CayCo’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. We intend to disclose on our website any future amendments of the Code of Ethics or waivers that exempt any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, persons performing similar functions, or our directors from provisions in the Code of Ethics.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

Upon completion of the Business Combination, based on the $400 million pro forma equity valuation of the Post-Closing Company and assuming the Company Acquisition Percentage in connection with the FST Restructuring reaching 100%, no redemptions and the exercise of all issued and outstanding SPAC Warrants, CayCo estimates that it will have a share capital comprised of 61,591,873 CayCo Ordinary Shares. All of the CayCo Ordinary Shares issued in connection with the Merger will be freely transferable by persons other than by CayCo’s “affiliates” without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, subject to the restrictions detailed below. Sales of substantial amounts of CayCo Ordinary Shares in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the CayCo Ordinary Shares. Prior to the Business Combination, there has been no public market for CayCo Ordinary Shares. CayCo intends to apply for listing of the CayCo Ordinary Shares on NASDAQ in connection with the Business Combination.

Transfer Restrictions

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that at the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo, the Sponsors, certain Company Shareholders and certain Sponsor Key Holders will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement with CayCo to be effective at Closing, the form of which is attached to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement as Annex E. Under the Lock-Up Agreement, the Sponsors, the Company Shareholders and the Sponsor Key Holders will agree, with some exclusions, from the Closing Date of the Business Combination until the earlier of (i) the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, or (ii) subsequent to the Closing Date, the date on which (x) the closing trading price of the CayCo Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds U.S.$12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30)-trading day period at least one-hundred and fifty (150) days after the Closing Date; or (y) the consummation of a bona fide liquidation, merger, stock exchange, reorganization, tender offer, change of control or other similar transaction which results in all of the CayCo’s shareholders having the right to exchange their CayCo Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property subsequent to the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”), with respect to (i) the Sponsors, the Sponsor Key Holders and their respective permitted transferees, the CayCo Ordinary Shares held by such person immediately following the Closing (excluding any CayCo Ordinary Shares sold in the PIPE Investment or acquired in the public market); and (ii) the Company Shareholders and their respective permitted transferees, (A) the CayCo Ordinary Shares held by such person immediately following the Closing (excluding any CayCo Ordinary Shares sold in the PIPE Investment or acquired in the public market); and (B) CayCo Ordinary Shares issued to directors and officers of CayCo upon settlement or exercise of restricted stock units, stock options or other equity awards outstanding as of immediately following the Closing (the “Lock-Up Shares”), they will not: (i) sell or assign of, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establish or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to, any security; (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another Person, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise; or (iii) publicly announce of any intention to effect any transaction, including the filing of a registration statement, as specified in clause (i) or (ii) (the actions specified in clauses (i)-(iii), collectively, a “Transfer”) any Lock-Up Shares.

Regulation S

Regulation S under the Securities Act provides an exemption from registration requirements in the United States for offers and sales of securities that occur outside the United States. Rule 903 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a sale by an issuer, a distributor, their respective affiliates or anyone acting on their behalf, while Rule 904 of Regulation S provides the conditions to the exemption for a resale by persons other than those covered by Rule 903. In each case, any sale must be completed in an offshore transaction, as that term is defined in Regulation S, and no directed selling efforts, as that term is defined in Regulation S, may be made in the United States.

Rule 144

Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“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, the Sponsors, the Company Shareholders and the Sponsor Key Holders will be able to sell their shares and warrants of CayCo as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after the Closing of the Business Combination.

It is anticipated that following the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

Pursuant to Rule 144, a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of the Post-Closing Company’s securities for at least six months would, subject to the restrictions noted in the section below, be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been one of the affiliates of the Post-Closing Company at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) the Post-Closing Company is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and has filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the 12 months (or such shorter period as CayCo was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares or warrants of the Post-Closing Company for at least six months but who are affiliates of the Post-Closing Company 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 the CayCo Ordinary Shares then outstanding; or

• the average weekly reported trading volume of the CayCo Ordinary Shares during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of the Post-Closing Company under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Post-Closing Company.

Registration Rights

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, as amended, among Chenghe, the Old SPAC Sponsor, the New SPAC Sponsor, Chenghe granted certain customary registration rights to the Sponsors for resale under the Securities Act of the Founder Shares, the Converted SPAC Public Shares, SPAC Private Placement Warrants and warrants converted from Working Capital Loans (if any). The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that Chenghe register such securities, at any time and from time to time after Chenghe consummates a business combination. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to Chenghe’ completion of its initial business combination. Chenghe agreed to bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statement.

261

Table of Contents

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that, at the Closing, CayCo, Merger Sub, Chenghe, the Sponsors and certain shareholders of FST will enter into an investor rights agreement, to be effective as of the Closing. Pursuant to such investor rights agreement, among other things, CayCo agrees to file a registration statement covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities (as defined therein) within thirty days of the Closing Date and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable thereafter but no later than the earlier of (a) the thirtieth calendar day following the filing date of such registration statement if the SEC notifies CayCo that it will “review” the registration statement, and (b) the tenth Business Day after the date CayCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the registration statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. CayCo has also agreed to provide customary “piggyback” registration rights with respect to such registrable securities and, subject to certain circumstances, to file a resale shelf registration statement to register the resale under the Securities Act of such registrable securities.

The investor rights agreement also provides that CayCo will pay certain expenses relating to such registrations and indemnify the securityholders against certain liabilities. The rights granted under the investor rights agreement supersede any prior registration, qualification or similar rights of the parties with respect to their CayCo securities.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

Securities of Chenghe prior to the Business Combination

As of the date hereof, Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (f.k.a. LatAmGrowth SPAC) has three classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act: SPAC Units, SPAC Public Warrants and SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. The following summary of the material terms of the securities of Chenghe prior to the Business Combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities and is subject to and qualified by references to the Chenghe Articles incorporated by reference as Annex G. You are urged to read the Chenghe Articles in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of Chenghe securities. In this section, “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refers to Chenghe.

General

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and our affairs are governed by Chenghe Articles, the Cayman Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to Chenghe Articles, we are authorized to issue 200,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each, and 20,000,000 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares of a par value of $0.0001 each, as well as 1,000,000 preference shares of a par value of $0.0001 each. The following description summarizes certain terms of our securities as set out more particularly in Chenghe Articles.

Because it is only a summary, it may not contain all the information that is important to you.

Units

Each SPAC Unit consists of one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one SPAC Public Warrant. Each whole SPAC Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one SPAC Class A Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as described below. Pursuant to the warrant agreement entered into in connection with the SPAC IPO, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder.

SPAC Units are listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol “LATGU.” On March 17, 2022, the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SPAC Public Warrants comprising the SPAC Units began separate trading on the Nasdaq under the symbols “LATG” and “LATGW,” respectively. Upon commencement of separate trading, holders have the option to continue to hold SPAC Units or separate the SPAC Units into component securities. Holders need to have their brokers contact SPAC Transfer Agent for such separation.

On September 8, 2023, Nasdaq delisted the SPAC Public Warrants due to SPAC’s failure to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value of its outstanding SPAC Public Warrants, as set forth in Nasdaq’s Listing Rule 5452(b)(C). The SPAC Public Warrants are currently listed on the OTC Pink Market under the symbol of “LATGF”. CayCo does not intend to apply for the listing of the CayCo Warrants on any stock exchange after the Closing. For more information, please see “Risk Factors — SPAC Public Warrants have been delisted from Nasdaq.” Those SPAC Units not separated continue to trade on the Nasdaq. No fractional warrant was issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade.

Ordinary Shares

As of the date hereof, 5,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, including 1,058,127 Converted SPAC Public Shares and 3,941,873 SPAC Public Shares, and 2,191,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares were issued and outstanding.

Ordinary shareholders of record are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters to be voted on by shareholders. Holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and holders of SPAC 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 Chenghe Articles, or as required by applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of SPAC 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, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of at least two-thirds of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company, and pursuant to Chenghe Articles; such actions include amending

263

Table of Contents

Chenghe Articles 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 a term 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. However, only holders of SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares have the right to appoint or remove directors in any general meeting held prior to or in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, meaning that holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares do not have the right to appoint any directors until after the completion of our initial business combination. Our shareholders are entitled to receive ratable dividends when, as and if declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available thereof.

Because Chenghe Articles authorize the issuance of up to 200,000,000 SPAC 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 SPAC 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.

In accordance with Nasdaq 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 Nasdaq. There is no requirement under the Cayman Companies Act for us to hold annual or extraordinary general meetings or appoint directors. We do not plan to hold an annual general meeting to appoint new directors prior to the consummation of our initial business combination.

We will provide our SPAC 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 (2) 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 taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein. The per share amount we will distribute to investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions that we pay to the underwriters of our initial public offering. Our Sponsors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Converted SPAC Public Shares and other SPAC Public Shares they may acquire in connection with the completion of our initial business combination. Unlike many special purpose acquisition 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 law and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal reasons, we will, pursuant to Chenghe Articles, 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. Chenghe Articles require these tender offer documents to contain substantially the same financial and other information about our 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 law, or we decide to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, we will, like many special purpose acquisition 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 an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, which requires the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the shareholders who attend and vote at a general meeting of the company. For purposes of seeking approval of an ordinary resolution, non-votes will have no effect on the approval of our initial business combination once a quorum is obtained. Chenghe Articles require that at least five clear 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, Chenghe Articles provide that a SPAC Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of, 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(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to the shares exceeding 15% of the aggregate SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding (the “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

264

Table of Contents

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 the excess shares and, in order to dispose such shares would be required to sell their shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss.

The Converted SPAC Public Shares are identical to the SPAC Public Shares, except that (i) they are entitled to registration rights, (ii) they are subject to the transfer restrictions as set forth in the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, (iii) pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, the Sponsors agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to the Converted SPAC Public Shares in connection with (A) the SPAC’s initial business combination, (B) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the SPAC’s constitutional documents to (x) modify the substance or timing of the SPAC’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the SPAC’s initial business combination, or to redeem 100% of SPAC Public Shares if SPAC has not completed an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (y) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity.

If we seek shareholder approval in connection with our initial business combination, our Sponsors have agreed to vote their Founder Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares in favor of our initial business combination. Any public shares purchased in the public market subsequent to the SPAC IPO will not be voted in favor of the initial business combination. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their public shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or whether they were a Public Shareholder on the record date for the shareholder meeting held to approve the proposed transaction.

Pursuant to Chenghe Articles, if we are unable to complete our initial business combination by the Extended Deadline, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten (10) 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 (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, 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 to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law. Our Sponsors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by the Extended Deadline. However, if our Sponsors or management team acquire public shares though the public market after the SPAC IPO, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such SPAC Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time period.

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 taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, upon the completion of our initial business combination, subject to the limitations and on the conditions described herein.

Founder Shares

The Founder Shares are designated as SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares and, except as described below, are identical to the SPAC Public Shares included in the SPAC Units sold in the SPAC IPO, and holders of Founder Shares have the same shareholder rights as Public Shareholders, except that (i) prior to our initial business combination, only holders of the Founder Shares have the right to vote on the appointment of directors and holders of a majority of our Founder Shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason, (ii) the Founder Shares are subject to certain

transfer restrictions, as described in more detail below, (iii) the Founder Shares are entitled to registration rights, (iv) our Sponsors have entered into a letter agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to (A) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Converted SPAC Public Shares and other SPAC Public Shares they may acquire in connection with the completion of our initial business combination, (B) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Converted SPAC Public Shares and other SPAC Public Shares they may acquire in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as it may be amended from time to time) (1) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we have not consummated an initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (2) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, (C) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their Founder Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination by the Extended Deadline, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any SPAC Public Shares they acquire through the public market if we fail to complete our initial business combination within such time period and (D) vote any Founder Shares and Converted SPAC Public Shares held by them in favor of our initial business combination, (v) the Founder Shares may be converted into a SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis at any time, at the election of a holder of Founder Shares, before, concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial business combination, and (vi) only holders of Founder Shares will have the right to appoint directors prior to the completion of our initial business combination. For the avoidance of doubt, holders of Founder Shares will not vote any SPAC Ordinary Shares that they acquired in connection with any purchase made in compliance with Rule 14e-5 of the Exchange Act in favor of the Business Combination.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Founder Shares will automatically convert into SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares at the Merger Effective Time on a one-for-one basis, and the Founder Shares will no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically be canceled. Pursuant to the SPAC IPO Letter Agreement, with certain limited exceptions, the Founder Shares and the Converted SPAC Public Shares are not transferable, assignable or salable (except to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with any of our Sponsors, each of whom will be subject to the same transfer restrictions) until the earlier of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination or earlier if, subsequent to our initial business combination, the closing price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, 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, and (B) the date following the completion of our initial business combination on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of our shareholders having the right to exchange their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. The Business Combination Agreement provides that concurrently with the closing of the Business Combination, at the consummation of the Business Combination, CayCo, the Sponsors, certain Company Shareholders and the Sponsor Key Holders will enter into a Lock-Up Agreement to be effective at closing, pursuant to which, the Sponsors and the Sponsor Key Holders will agree to, among other things, to not transfer the CayCo Ordinary Shares they hold immediately following the Closing (excluding any CayCo Ordinary Shares sold in the PIPE Investment or acquired in the public market). See the section titled “The Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Documents — Lock-Up Agreement.”

Preference Shares

Chenghe Articles authorize the issuance of 1,000,000 Chenghe Preference Shares and provide that Chenghe 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 Chenghe 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 Chenghe Preference Shares without shareholder approval could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of us or the removal of existing management. We have no Chenghe Preference Shares issued and outstanding at the date hereof. Although we do not currently intend to issue any shares of Chenghe Preference Shares, we cannot assure you that we will not do so in the future.

Warrants — Public Warrants

Each whole SPAC Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one SPAC 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 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. No factional warrant was issued upon separation of the SPAC Units and only whole warrants trade. Accordingly, unless you purchase at least two 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a SPAC Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the SPAC Public Warrants then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a SPAC Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a warrant unless the SPAC 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 SPAC Public Warrant, the holder of such SPAC Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such SPAC Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any SPAC Public 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Share underlying such unit.

We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) 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 for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the SPAC Public Warrant. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration or redemption of the SPAC Public Warrant in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the SPAC Public Warrants is not effective by the sixtieth (60th) Business Day after the closing of our initial business combination, SPAC Public 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. Notwithstanding the above, if our SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a SPAC Public 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 SPAC Public Warrant who exercise their SPAC Public 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 elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event we do not so elect, we will use our commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the SPAC Public Warrants for that number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares per warrant. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent.

Redemption of warrants when the price per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $18.00. Once the SPAC Public Warrants become exercisable, we may call the outstanding SPAC Public Warrants for redemption (except for so long as they are held by our Sponsors or its permitted transferees):

• 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 (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

• if, and only if, the reported closing price of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which before we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

We will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares is available throughout the 30 day redemption period. If and when the SPAC Public 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.

We have established the last of the redemption criteria 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 SPAC Public Warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any such exercise would not be done on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised However, the price of the SPAC 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 when the price per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00.

Once the SPAC Public Warrants become exercisable, we may call the outstanding SPAC Public Warrants for redemption (except for so long as they are held by our Sponsors or its permitted transferees):

• in whole and not in part;

• at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; provided that 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);

• if, and only if, the Reference Value equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like); and

• if the Reference Value is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, 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. If the exercise price of the warrant is adjusted as a result of raising capital in connection with the initial business combination, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will by 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.

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.

269

Table of Contents

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 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 as of the date of the IPO prospectus. 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. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent other conditions under the warrant agreement are satisfied, we can only redeem the warrants during the Exercise Period, commencing on the date that is 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination, and terminating at five years after the completion of our initial business combination. Therefore, any recent fluctuation in the trading prices of our Class A ordinary shares, exceeding $10.00 or $18.00 thresholds as discussed above would not allow us to redeem the SPAC Public Warrants.

Redemption procedures

We will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those ordinary shares is available throughout the 30 day redemption period, except if the warrants may be exercised on a cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. 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.

In the event that we elect to redeem the warrants, holders of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption as described in the Warrant Agreement. Specifically, in the event that we elect to redeem the warrants as described above, we will fix a date for the redemption (the “Redemption Date”). Notice of redemption will be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, by us not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Redemption Date to the registered holders of the warrants to be redeemed at their last addresses as they shall appear on the registration books. Any notice mailed in the manner herein provided will be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the registered holder received such notice. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable warrants will be notified of such redemption via posting of the redemption notice to The Depositary Trust Company.

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

270

Table of Contents

warrants become exercisable for a security other than the Class A ordinary shares, SPAC (or surviving company) will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Securities Act the security issuable upon the exercise of the warrants.

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% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

Anti-dilution Adjustments

If the number of issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares is increased by a share capitalization payable in SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, or by a split-up of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. A rights offering to holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares entitling holders to purchase SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of SPAC 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares) and multiplied by (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share paid in such rights offering and divided by (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, in determining the price payable for SPAC 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 SPAC 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 SPAC 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 holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares on account of such SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with a proposed initial business combination, or (d) 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Share in respect of such event.

If the number of issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of SPAC 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

Whenever the number of SPAC 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 SPAC 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In addition, if (x) we issue additional SPAC 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 SPAC 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 held by our initial shareholders or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such issuance) (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

271

Table of Contents

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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares during the 10-trading day period starting on the trading day prior to the day on which we consummate our initial business combination (such price, the “Market Value”) of our SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares is below $9.20 per share, then 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, the $18.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to “Redemption of Warrants When the Price Per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to 180% of the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price, and the $10.00 per share redemption trigger price described adjacent to “Redemption of Warrants When the Price Per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00” will be adjusted (to the nearest cent) to be equal to the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price/*.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the issued and outstanding SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such SPAC 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 SPAC 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of SPAC 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. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of SPAC 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 Warrant 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 warrants have been 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 to make any amendments that are necessary in the good faith determination of SPAC Board (taking into account then existing market precedents) to allow for the warrants to be classified as equity in SPAC’s financial statements, but otherwise requires the approval by the holders of at least 65% of the then outstanding public warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement filed hereto as Exhibit 4.4 for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the warrants.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of warrants being exercised. 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares. After the issuance of SPAC 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.

We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to our warrant agreement, including under the Securities Act, 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 shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. We will waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and

272

Table of Contents

exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in the warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provision in the warrant agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “foreign action”) in the name of any holder of Chenghe’s warrants, such warrant holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts within the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”), and (y) having service of process made upon such warrant holder in any such enforcement action by service upon such warrant holder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such warrant holder.

In connection with the Closing, Chenghe, CayCo and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will enter into an Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement which will amend and restate the Warrant Agreement to provide for the assignment by Chenghe of all its rights, title and interest in the outstanding warrants of Chenghe, and the assumption of such warrants by, CayCo. All warrants of Chenghe under the Warrant Agreement will no longer be exercisable for SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, but instead will be exercisable for CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Warrants — Private Placement Warrants

The private placement warrants (including the SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of such warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial business combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with our New SPAC Sponsor) and they will not be redeemable by us so long as they are held by our New SPAC Sponsor, members of our New SPAC Sponsor or their permitted transferees. The New SPAC Sponsor or its permitted transferees, have the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the public warrants. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than the New SPAC Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in our initial public offering.

Except as described under “— Redemption of warrants when the price per SPAC Class A Ordinary Share equals or exceeds $10.00,” 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “historical fair market value” of our SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the 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 warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the New SPAC Sponsor or its permitted transferees is because it is not known at this time whether they 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 prohibit 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the 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.

Forward Purchase Units

We entered into a forward purchase agreement with the affiliate of the Old SPAC Sponsor, pursuant to which such affiliate committed that it will purchase from us up to 4,000,000 forward purchase units, consisting of one Class A ordinary share (the “forward purchase shares”) and one-half of one warrant to purchase one Class A ordinary share (the “forward purchase warrants”), for $10.00 per unit, or an aggregate amount of up to $40.0 million, in a private placement that will close concurrently with the closing of our initial business combination. The forward purchase agreement requires us to deliver a notice to the forward purchaser 10 business days prior to the signing of any definitive document for a business combination, setting forth the number of forward purchase units that it desires to purchase. Within five business days of receipt of such notice, the forward purchaser will inform SPAC the number of forward purchase units that it wishes to purchase, which shall constitute binding obligations of the

273

Table of Contents

forward purchasers. The Company did not delivery a notice to the forward purchase in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement, and therefore, the forward purchaser is not obligated to purchase any forward purchase units under the forward purchase agreement.

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 a 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 a business combination. The payment of any cash dividends subsequent to a business combination will be within the discretion of our board of directors at such time. If we incur any indebtedness, 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 liability due to any gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the indemnified person or entity. Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company has agreed that it has no right of set-off or any right, title, interest or claim of any kind to, or to any monies in, the trust account, and has irrevocably waived any right, title, interest or claim of any kind to, or to any monies in, the trust account that it may have now or in the future. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied, or a claim will only be able to be pursued, solely against us and our assets outside the trust account and not against the any monies in the trust account or interest earned thereon.

Certain Differences in Corporate Law

Cayman Islands companies are governed by the Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman Companies Act is derived, to a large extent, from the older Companies Acts of England and Wales but does not follow recent United Kingdom statutory enactments, and accordingly there are significant differences between the Cayman Companies Act and the current Companies Act of the UK. In addition, the Cayman Companies Act 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 Cayman 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 Cayman 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). For these purposes, (a) “merger” means the merging of two or more constituent companies and the vesting of their undertaking, property and liabilities in one of such companies as the surviving company, and (b) a “consolidation” means the combination of two or more constituent companies into a new consolidated company and the vesting of the undertaking, property and liabilities of such companies to the consolidated company.

Where the merger or consolidation is between two Cayman Islands companies, the directors of each constituent company must approve a written plan of merger or consolidation containing certain prescribed information. That plan of merger or consolidation must then be authorized by (a) a special resolution (a majority of at least two-thirds of such members as are entitled to vote at a general meeting or such higher number as may be specified in the constituent company’s memorandum and articles of association) of the shareholders of each company; and (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 if a copy of the plan of merger is given to every member of each subsidiary company to be merged unless that member agrees otherwise. The consent of each holder of a fixed or floating security interest of a constituent company must be obtained, unless the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands waives such requirement. If the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is satisfied that the requirements of the Cayman Companies Act (which includes certain other formalities) have been complied with, the Registrar of Companies will register the plan of merger or consolidation.

274

Table of Contents

Where the merger or consolidation involves a foreign company and the surviving or consolidated company is the 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; (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 or consolidated 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 (and other requirements specified in the Cayman Companies Act) are adopted, the Cayman Companies Act provides for a right of dissenting shareholders to be paid a payment of the fair value of their 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 of such approval 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 decision to dissent in respect of all of his shares 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 (c) 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 dissenting shareholder agree the price within 30 days following the date on which the offer was made, the company must pay the dissenting shareholder such amount; and (e) if the company and the dissenting 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 must (and any dissenting shareholder may) file a petition with the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands 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 Grand Court of the Cayman Islands 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 in respect of the proposed merger or consolidation are shares of any other company listed on a national securities exchange at the effective date of the merger or consolidation 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

275

Table of Contents

arrangement” which may be tantamount to a merger. In the event that a merger was sought pursuant to a scheme of arrangement between the company and its members or any class of them (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 75% in value of shareholders that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a 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 generally be expected to sanction the scheme of arrangement if it satisfies itself that:

• the arrangement is a ‘compromise or arrangement’ within the meaning of section 86 and is not one that would more properly be sanctioned under some other provision of the Cayman Companies Act;

• the company is not proposing to act illegally or beyond the scope of its corporate authority, the requisite meetings have been properly convened and the statutory provisions as to majority vote have been achieved;

• the scheme document has provided all the material information reasonably required to enable a scheme shareholder to come to an informed decision on the merits of the scheme;

• the scheme shareholders have been fairly represented at the meeting in question and there is no reason to believe that the views of the majority who voted in favor of the scheme did not fairly represent the views of the scheme shareholders as a whole, or that they were not acting bona fide or subject to coercion;

• the scheme of arrangement is such as a fair and an intelligent and honest person acting in respect of their interest would reasonably approve; and

• there is no good reason for the Court to exercise its discretion not to sanction the scheme.

If a scheme of arrangement or takeover offer (as described below) is approved, the scheme would be binding on all the members or class of members as the case may be, and 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 takeover offer is made and accepted by holders of 90% of the shares to whom the offer relates is made within four months, the offeror may, within a two-month period, issue a notice requiring the holders of the remaining shares to transfer such shares on the terms of the offer unless, on an application made by a dissenting shareholder within one month from the date on which the notice was given, the Court thinks fit to order otherwise.

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. 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, the company will normally be the proper plaintiff in any claim based on a breach of duty owed to it, and a claim against (for example) its officers or directors usually may not be brought by a shareholder. However, exceptions to the foregoing principle apply in circumstances in which:

• a company is acting, or proposing to act, illegally or beyond the scope of its authority;

• the act complained of, although not beyond the scope of the authority, could only 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 the company or its officers or directors 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.

276

Table of Contents

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against it judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against it predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States, 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 such judgment (i) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given, (iii) is final and conclusive, (iv) is not in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, and (v) is not impeachable on the grounds of fraud and was not obtained in a manner, and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. 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 Cayman Companies Act. The Cayman 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:

• an exempted company does not have to file an annual return of its shareholders with the Registrar of Companies;

• 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 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 30 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.

“Limited liability” means that the liability of each shareholder is limited to the amount unpaid by the shareholder on that shareholder’s shares of the company (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil).

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.

277

Table of Contents

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 (Revised) 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:

• the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or

• 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

• 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 redemption payment to a shareholder if our directors or officers suspect or are advised that the payment of redemption proceeds 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 reason 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 their 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) a nominated officer (appointed in accordance with the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority of the Cayman Islands, pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to criminal conduct or money laundering or (ii) to a police constable or a nominated officer (pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands) or the Financial Reporting Authority, pursuant to the Terrorism Act (Revised), if the disclosure relates to involvement with terrorism or terrorist financing and terrorist property. Such a report shall not be treated as a breach of confidence or of any restriction upon the disclosure of information imposed by any enactment or otherwise.

Legislation of the Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands, together with several other non-European Union jurisdictions, have recently introduced legislation aimed at addressing concerns raised by the Council of the European Union as to offshore structures engaged in certain activities which attract profits without real economic activity. With effect from January 1, 2019, the International Tax Co-operation (Economic Substance) Act (Revised) (the “Substance Act”) came into force in the Cayman Islands introducing certain economic substance requirements for in-scope Cayman Islands entities which are engaged in certain “relevant activities,” which in the case of exempted companies incorporated before January 1, 2019, applies in respect of financial years commencing July 1, 2019, onwards. However, it is anticipated that our Company may remain out of scope of the legislation or else be subject to more limited substance requirements.

Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Chenghe

Chenghe Articles 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 special resolution needs to be adopted by either (i) at least two-thirds (or any higher threshold specified in a company’s articles of association) of a company’s shareholders as, being entitled to do so, vote in person or, where proxies are allowed, by proxy at a general meeting of 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. Chenghe Articles provide that special resolutions must be approved either by at least two-thirds of our shareholders (except that amendments to the provisions concerning the Class B shareholders right to appoint or remove directors prior to a business combination requires 90% approval of 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.

Our Sponsors and their respective affiliates, who collectively beneficially own 45.2% of SPAC Ordinary Shares, will participate in any vote to amend Chenghe Articles and will have the discretion to vote in any manner they choose. Specifically, Chenghe Articles provide, among other things, that:

• If we are unable to complete our initial business combination by the Extended Deadline, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than ten (10) Business Days thereafter, redeem the public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares in issue, 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 to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of applicable law;

• Prior to 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 public shares on our initial business combination;

• Although we do not intend to enter into a business combination with a target business that is affiliated with our Sponsors, our directors or our 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 which is a member of FINRA or a valuation or appraisal firm that such a business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view;

• If a shareholder vote on our initial business combination is not required by law and we do not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other legal 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;

• We must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of 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) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to allow redemption in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our public shares if we do not complete our

280

Table of Contents

initial business combination by the Extended Deadline or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, we will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares upon the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment 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 taxes, divided by the number of then issued and outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations provided therein; and

• We will not effectuate our initial business combination with another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

We may, however, raise funds through the issuance of equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with our initial business combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop arrangements we may enter into following consummation of our initial public offering, in order to, among other reasons, satisfy such net tangible assets requirement.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of Chenghe

Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that our board of directors is 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 meetings.

Our authorized but unissued SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and Chenghe 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 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and Chenghe 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 of CayCo

The following description of the material terms of the share capital of CayCo following the completion of the Business Combination includes a summary of specified provisions of the amended and restated memorandum of association (the “Memorandum of Association”) and the amended and restated articles of association of CayCo (the “Articles of Association” and together with the Memorandum of Association, the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”) that will be in effect upon completion of the Business Combination. This description is qualified by reference to CayCo’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association as will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, the form of which is attached to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement as Annex B and is incorporated in this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement by reference. References in this section to “we” or “us” refer to CayCo.

A summary of the material provisions governing CayCo’s share capital immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination is described below. This summary is not complete and should be read together with the CayCo Listing Articles.

General

CayCo is a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability and, as of the Closing, its affairs will be governed by its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended from time to time, the Cayman Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, CayCo will be authorized to issue 500,000,000 Ordinary Shares of par value of US$0.0001 each (“Ordinary Shares”). As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, there is one (1) CayCo Share issued and outstanding.

281

Table of Contents

Ordinary Shares

As of the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, all of CayCo’s issued and outstanding shares are fully paid and non-assessable. Its shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in our register of members. Unless the board of directors determine otherwise, each holder of its shares will not receive a certificate in respect of such ordinary shares. Our shareholders who are non-residents of the Cayman Islands may freely hold and vote their ordinary shares. We may not issue shares to bearer.

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and provisions of the CayCo Listing Articles regarding redemption and purchase of the shares, the directors have general and unconditional authority to allot (with or without confirming rights of renunciation), grant options over or otherwise deal with any unissued shares to such persons, at such times and on such terms and conditions as they may decide. The directors may deal with unissued shares either at a premium or at par, or with or without preferred, deferred or other special rights or restrictions, whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise. No share may be issued at a discount except in accordance with the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. The directors may refuse to accept any application for shares, and may accept any application in whole or in part, for any reason or for no reason.

Share Capital

All of our issued and outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. The CayCo Ordinary Shares are issued in registered form, and are issued when registered in the register of members of CayCo. CayCo may not issue CayCo Ordinary Shares to bearer. Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act and the Articles of Association and the rules of the Stock Exchange, where applicable, and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing shares, all shares in CayCo are at the disposal of the board, which may issue, allot, grant options over or otherwise dispose of them to such persons, at such times, on such terms and conditions as it in its absolute discretion thinks fit.

Each CayCo Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general and special meetings of the Company.

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, Articles of Association and the rules of the Stock Exchange, where applicable, any share may be issued (a) with or have attached thereto such rights, or such restrictions, whether with regard to dividend, voting, return of capital, or otherwise, as the directors may determine, and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing shares, or (b) on terms that, at the option of CayCo or the holder thereof, it is liable to be redeemed.

Dividends

Subject to the foregoing, the payment of cash dividends in the future, if any, will be at the discretion of CayCo’s board of directors and will depend upon such factors as earnings levels, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, CayCo’s overall financial condition, available distributable reserves and any other factors deemed relevant by CayCo’s board of directors. Under Cayman Islands law, a Cayman Islands company may pay a dividend out of either profits (including retained earnings) or share premium, provided that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in CayCo being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of its business.

Even if CayCo’s board of directors decides to pay dividends, the form, frequency and amount will depend upon CayCo’s future operations and earnings, capital requirements and surplus, general financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors that CayCo’s board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, CayCo is a holding company and depend on the receipt of dividends and other distributions from its subsidiaries to pay dividends on CayCo Shares.

The directors may declare dividends to be paid to the members. The Articles of Association provide dividends may be declared and paid out of the profits of CayCo, realized or unrealized, or out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by the Cayman Companies Act. In addition, CayCo’s shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by the directors. No dividend may be declared and paid unless the directors determine that, immediately after the payment, CayCo will be able to pay its debts as they become due in the ordinary course of business and CayCo has funds lawfully available for such purpose.

282

General Meetings of Shareholders

Under the Cayman Companies Act, CayCo is not required to call shareholders’ annual general meetings. CayCo, however, will hold an annual shareholders’ meeting during each fiscal year, as required by the Nasdaq listing standards. At least fifteen calendar days’ notice shall be given for any general meeting. The board of directors of CayCo or the chairman of the board may call general meetings at any time, and must convene an extraordinary general meeting upon the requisition of shareholders holding at the date of deposit of the requisition shares which carry in aggregate not less than one-third (1/3) of all issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote at general meetings of CayCo. One or more shareholders holding shares which carry in aggregate (or representing by proxy) not less than one-half (1/2) of all votes attaching to all shares in issue and entitled to vote at such general meeting present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote will be a quorum for all purposes.

Variation of Rights

Subject to the Articles of Association, if at any time the share capital of CayCo is divided into different classes of shares, all or any of the rights attached to the shares or any class of shares may (unless otherwise provided for by the terms of issue of that class) be varied, modified or abrogated either with the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued shares of that class or with the sanction of an ordinary resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the shares of that class. To every such general meeting the provisions of the Articles of Association relating to general meetings will mutatis mutandis apply, but so that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy not less than one-third (1/3) of the issued shares of that class. Every holder of shares of the class present in person or by proxy shall be entitled to one vote for every such share held by him.

Transfer of Shares

Subject to the Articles of Association, our shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her CayCo Ordinary Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Stock Exchange or any other form approved by the board of directors. The board may, in its absolute discretion, and without giving any reason therefor, decline to register any transfer of CayCo Ordinary Share which is not fully paid up to a person of whom it does not approve, or any share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists. The board may also decline to register any transfer of any share unless a fee (not exceeding the maximum sum as the Stock Exchange may determine to be payable) determined by the board is paid to CayCo, the instrument of transfer is properly stamped (if required), it is in respect of only one class of share, the number of joint holders to whom the share is to be transferred does not exceed four (in the case of a transfer to joint holders) and is lodged with CayCo accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer.

Subject to the restrictions set out below, any of CayCo shareholders may transfer all or any of his or her shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or any other form prescribed by the designated stock exchange or approved by CayCo board of directors.

CayCo board of directors may, in its absolute discretion, and without giving any reason therefor, refuse to register any transfer of any share which is not fully paid up or on which the CayCo has a lien. CayCo board of directors may also decline to register any transfer of any ordinary share unless:

• the instrument of transfer is lodged with CayCo, accompanied by the certificate for the ordinary shares to which it relates and such other evidence as CayCo board of directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

• the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one class of ordinary shares;

• the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

• in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the ordinary share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

• a fee of such maximum sum as the designated stock exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as CayCo board of directors may from time to time require is paid to CayCo in respect thereof.

283

Table of Contents

The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required of the designated stock exchange, be suspended and the register of members closed at such times and for such periods as CayCo board of directors may in their absolute discretion from time to time determine, provided always that the registration of transfers shall not be suspended nor the register closed for more than thirty (30) calendar days in any calendar year.

If CayCo directors refuse to register a transfer, they shall, within two calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged, send to each of the transferor and the transferee notice of such refusal.

Calls on Shares and Forfeiture of Shares

CayCo’s board of directors may from time to time make calls upon shareholders for any amounts due and payable but unpaid on CayCo Ordinary Shares. Any CayCo Ordinary Shares that have been called upon and remain unpaid are, after a notice period, subject to forfeiture.

Redemption and Repurchase of Shares

Subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, CayCo may issue shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the shareholder or CayCo. The redemption of such shares will be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as CayCo’s directors determine before the issue of the shares, by the CayCo board. CayCo may also purchase its own shares (including any redeemable shares) on such terms and in such manner and terms have been approved by the CayCo board, or are otherwise authorized by the CayCo Listing Articles, and make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the applicable law, including out of capital.

Liquidation

On a return of capital on winding up or otherwise (other than on conversion, redemption or purchase of shares), if the assets available for distribution amongst our shareholders shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst CayCo’s shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to CayCo for unpaid calls or otherwise. If CayCo’s assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay all of the paid up share capital, the assets will be distributed so that, as nearly as possible, the losses are borne by CayCo’s shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up. Any distribution of assets or capital to a holder of CayCo Ordinary Share will be the same in any liquidation event.

On the winding up of CayCo, if the assets available for distribution amongst CayCo shareholders are more than sufficient to repay the whole of the share capital at the commencement of winding up, the surplus will be distributed amongst CayCo shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up, subject to a deduction from those shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to CayCo for unpaid calls or otherwise. If CayCo’s assets available for distribution are insufficient to repay the whole of the share capital, the assets will be distributed so that as nearly as may be the losses are borne by CayCo shareholders in proportion to the par value of the shares held by them.

Indemnification of Directors and Executive Officers and Limitation of Liability

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Articles of Association permit indemnification of officers and directors from and against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, losses, damages and liabilities which they or any of them, their or any of their personal representatives, incurred or sustained by them, other than by reason of their own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of CayCo’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the

284

Table of Contents

generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning CayCo or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling our company under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Certain Anti-Takeover Provisions

Certain provisions in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, deter or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a shareholder might consider to be in its best interests, including attempts that might result in a premium being paid over the market price for CayCo Ordinary Shares. These provisions are also designed, in part, to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors.

Ordinary Shares

The authorized but unissued CayCo Ordinary Shares will be available for future issuance by the board of directors on such terms as our board of directors may determine, subject to the provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, the Articles of Association and the rules of the Stock Exchange, where applicable, and without prejudice to any rights attached to any existing shares. These additional shares may be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence of authorized but unissued CayCo Ordinary Shares could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control over us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, amalgamation, scheme of arrangement or otherwise.

Warrants

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, each SPAC Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination will cease to be a warrant with respect to SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and be assumed by CayCo and converted into an CayCo Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one CayCo Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per share upon exercise. Each CayCo Warrant will otherwise continue to have, and be subject to, substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such SPAC Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Board of Directors

Our board of directors shall consist of such number of directors as the shareholders may from time to time determine and there should be a minimum of five (5) directors unless otherwise determined by the shareholders in general meeting. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, our board of directors will consist of seven directors. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the form of which is attached to this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, one of our directors should be nominated by the Sponsor, and at least four of our directors shall be independent director. Further, as long as the Sponsor Parties beneficially own any CayCo Ordinary Shares, CayCo shall take all necessary action to call the individuals nominated by the Sponsor to be elected at the applicable meetings of shareholder of CayCo.

Arrangements for Election of Directors

In connection with the Business Combination, three of the non-independent directors will be nominated by FST’s major shareholders: Japan Brand Business LLC, Far East Machinery Co. Ltd., and FST Chairman and major shareholder, David Chuang. Two of the independent directors will be nominated by FST Chairman and major shareholder David Chuang. One independent director will be nominated by FST’s major shareholder Far East Machinery Co. Ltd., and one by the New SPAC Sponsor.

Appointment of Directors

Our directors shall, be elected by the shareholders by way of any special resolution to either fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors. The board of directors shall have power at any time to appoint any person as a director, either to fill casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing directors.

285

Table of Contents

Any director may in writing appoint another person to be such director’s alternate, with the alternate having the authority to act in the director’s place at any meeting at which the appointing director is unable to be present. A director may, but is not required to, appoint another director to be an alternate.

Removal of Directors

A director may be removed from office by special resolution of CayCo before the expiration of his period of office. A director will also cease to be a director if he or she (i) dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with such director’s creditors generally; (ii) is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; (iii) resigns the office of director by notice in writing to the company; (iv) is removed from office pursuant to the Articles of Association; or (v) is prohibited, by any applicable law or the rules of the Stock Exchange, from being a director.

Directors’ Fiduciary Duties

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

• duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

• duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

• duty not to improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

• duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of members;

• duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

• duty to exercise independent judgment.

In addition to the above, directors and officers also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

Meetings of Shareholders

As a Cayman Islands exempted company, CayCo is not obliged by law to call annual general meetings. According to the Articles of Association, CayCo may hold an annual general meeting of the Company every year.

Capitalization of Profits and Reserves

Subject to applicable law, the directors may resolve to capitalize all or any part of any amount standing to the credit of any reserve accounts or funds (including a share premium account and capital redemption reserve and the profit and loss account) for distribution among the shareholders or any class of shareholders who would be entitled thereto if it were distributed by way of dividend and in the proportion to the nominal amount of shares held by such shareholders respectively, on the footing that the same is applied either in or towards paying up the amounts for the time being unpaid on any shares in the Company held by such shareholders respectively or in paying up in full unissued shares or debentures of a nominal amount equal to that sum, to be allotted and distributed credited as fully paid up among such shareholders in those proportions, or partly in one way and partly in the other, provided that, for the purposes above, a share premium account and any capital redemption reserve and profits which are not available for distribution, may be applied only in paying up unissued shares of the Company to be allotted to such shareholders credited as fully paid.

Amendments to Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of CayCo

The Articles of Association may be altered or amended by the Company by special resolution. The Articles of Association state that a special resolution shall be required to alter the provisions of the Memorandum of Association, to amend the Articles of Association or to change the name of the Company.

286

Table of Contents

Mergers and Consolidations

CayCo may by a special resolution merge or consolidate with one or more constituent companies (as defined in the Cayman Companies Act), upon such terms as our directors may determine subject to the Cayman Companies Act.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

Following the completion of the Business Combination, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company will act as the transfer agent and registrar for CayCo Ordinary Shares.

Stock Exchange Listing

CayCo will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the closing of the Business Combination, of its CayCo Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq under the symbol “KBSX.” CayCo will not have units issued or traded following consummation of the Business Combination.

Enforceability of Civil Liability under Cayman Islands Law

CayCo has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel that there is uncertainty as to whether courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce against it 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) entertain original actions brought in the Cayman Islands against us or our directors or officers predicated upon the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States. 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 in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay a liquidated sum for which judgment has been given, provided such judgment: (a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction; (b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given; (c) is final and conclusive; (d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty; (e) was not obtained in a manner, and is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

Anti-Money Laundering

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 (Revised) 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:

• the subscriber makes the payment for their investment from an account held in the subscriber’s name at a recognized financial institution; or

• 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

• 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.

287

Table of Contents

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.

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by FST due to the Company’s shareholders’ failure to approve the FST Business Combination or the Company’s material breach of its obligations as described in the Business Combination Agreement, the Company shall pay and reimburse FST the extension contribution(s) FST has deposited in the Trust Account with funds held outside of the Trust Account.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsors or an affiliate of the Sponsors or certain of SPAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan SPAC funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If SPAC completes its initial business combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial business combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The terms of such warrants would be identical to those of the Private Placement Warrants. As of the date hereof, SPAC has no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SPAC ORDINARY SHARES PRIOR TO THE
BUSINESS COMBINATION

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of shares of SPAC Ordinary Shares as of by:

• each person or “group” (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) known by SPAC to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of shares of SPAC Ordinary Shares;

• each of SPAC’s executive officers and directors; and

• all of SPAC’s executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, SPAC believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares (of the applicable type) beneficially owned by them.

The percentage of beneficial ownership of SPAC in the table below is calculated based on 7,191,873 SPAC Ordinary Shares, consisting of (i) 5,000,000 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares and (ii) 2,191,873 SPAC Class B Ordinary Shares, issued and outstanding after the SPAC IPO after taking into account of the redemptions in connection with the Second Extension.

(3) Chenghe Investment I Limited, the New SPAC Sponsor, is the record holder of such shares. Chenghe Group Limited, a British Virgin Islands incorporated company, owns 100% of the voting securities of the New SPAC Sponsor. Mr. Richard Qi Li, who holds 100% of the voting securities of Chenghe Group Limited, may be entitled distributions of the founder shares and has voting and investment discretion with respect to the ordinary shares held by Chenghe Group Limited through held of record by the New SPAC Sponsor. Mr. Richard Qi Li disclaims beneficial ownership over any securities owned by the New SPAC Sponsor other than to the extent of any pecuniary interest he may have therein, directly or indirectly.

(4) LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC, the Old SPAC Sponsor, is the record holder of such shares and is controlled by a board of managers initially consisting of Gerard Cremoux, Eduardo Cortina and Gerardo Mendoza. Each manager of LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC has one vote, and the approval of two of the three members of the board of managers is required to approve an action of LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC. Under the so-called “rule of three,” if voting and dispositive decisions regarding an entity’s securities are made by two or more individuals, and a voting and dispositive decision requires the approval of a majority of those individuals, then none of the individuals is deemed a beneficial owner of the entity’s securities. This is the situation with regard to LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC. Based upon the foregoing analysis, no individual manager of LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC exercises voting or dispositive control over any of the securities held by LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC even those in which he directly holds a pecuniary interest. Accordingly, none of them will be deemed to have or share beneficial ownership of such shares and, for the avoidance of doubt, each expressly disclaims any such beneficial interest to the extent of any pecuniary interest he may have therein, directly or indirectly.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF CAYCO SECURITIES AFTER BUSINESS COMBINATION

The following table sets forth information regarding the expected beneﬁcial ownership of CayCo Ordinary Shares immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination by:

• each person who is expected to be the beneficial owner of 5% or more of the issued and outstanding CayCo Ordinary Shares;

• each person who is expected to become an executive officer or a director of CayCo; and

• all of the executive officers and directors of CayCo.

Unless otherwise indicated, CayCo believes that all persons named in the table will have, immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, sole voting and investment power with respect to all CayCo Securities beneficially owned by them.

Beneficial ownership for the purposes of the following table is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. A person is a “beneficial owner” of a security if that person has or shares “voting power,” which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or “investment power,” which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security or has the right to acquire such powers within 60 days. Unless otherwise indicated, CayCo believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all ordinary shares (of the applicable type) beneficially owned by them.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of CayCo Ordinary Shares post-Business Combination assumes two scenarios, assuming that under each scenario, the Company Acquisition Percentage reaches 100% at the FST Restructuring Closing:

• Scenario 1 — Assuming No Redemptions: This presentation assumes that no holders of SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares exercise redemption rights for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account and the total number of CayCo Ordinary Shares expected to be outstanding after the Closing will be 61,591,873.

• Scenario 2 — Assuming Intermediate Redemptions: This presentation assumes that the holders of 1,970,937 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares exercise redemption rights for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account and the total number of CayCo Ordinary Shares expected to be outstanding after the Closing will be 59,620,936.

• Scenario 3 — Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that holders of 3,031,981 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will exercise their redemption rights. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have US$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the SPAC Articles and Business Combination Agreement, which will be distributed immediately to CayCo at the written instruction of the chief executive officer of CayCo, and used for working capital and general corporate purposes. The total number of CayCo Ordinary Shares expected to be outstanding after the Closing will be 58,559,892.

In connection with the Business Combination, SPAC and the Company Parties agreed on a fixed post-money equity value of $400,000,000 for FST and $10.00 per share reference price. The expected beneficial ownership of CayCo Ordinary Shares immediately following consummations of the Business Combination, under both scenarios, has been determined based on the assumptions that (i) at Closing, the number of CayCo Ordinary Shares issued to former FST Shareholders and FST Advisor equal to the product of 40,000,000, of which 2,000,000 CayCo Ordinary Shares are Advisory Shares, and 38,000,000 CayCo Ordinary Shares are issued to former FST shareholders participate in FST Restructuring based on their percentage, (ii) none of SPAC Shareholders or Company Shareholders purchase SPAC Ordinary Shares in the open market, (iii) SPAC’s Sponsor has not made any Working Capital Loans to SPAC, and (iv) there are no other issuance of equity interests of SPAC or FST prior to or in connection with the Closing other than as contemplated by the Transactions. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, these amounts will differ.

____________

(1) Unless otherwise noted, the business address of each of the following is No. 3, Gongye 1st Rd., Minxiong Township, Chiayi County 621018, Taiwan.

(2) Assumes no further SPAC Shareholders, collectively holding 3,941,873 shares exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, there were approximately $36.81 million in the Trust Account. Taking into account nil to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds at the Closing of the Business Combination, all SPAC Public Shares previously subject to redemption for cash amounting to $36.81 million would be transferred to shareholders’ equity.

(3) Reflects the redemption of nil share in connection with the Business Combination as reflected in the no-redemption scenario above, and additionally assumes that SPAC Shareholders holding 1,970,937 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares, representing 50% of 3,941,873 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares remaining outstanding on the date of this Registration Statement/Proxy Statement, will exercise redemption rights at an assumed per share price of $11.43 in connection with the Business Combination. Under intermediate redemption scenario, an additional of $22.52 million in the trust account will need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds at the closing of the Business Combination, as compared with no redemption scenario. A total of $22.52 million in the trust account will need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds.

(4) Reflects the redemption of 1,970,937 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination as reflected in the intermediate redemption scenario above, and additionally assumes that SPAC Shareholders holding 1,086,567 SPAC Class A Ordinary Shares will exercise their redemption rights at an assumed per share price of $11.43 in connection with the Business Combination. Under the maximum redemption scenario, an additional amount of $12.00 million in the trust account would need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds would be paid out in cash at the closing of the Business Combination. Taking into account $22.52 million paid out under the intermediate redemption scenario, a total of $34.64 million in the trust account will need to be paid out in cash as redemption proceeds. The number of Public Shares redeemed under the maximum redemption scenario is calculated based on the assumptions that following the redemption, (i) SPAC will be able to pay total liabilities in the amount of $4.39 million as of June 30, 2024 from the Trust Account at the Closing; (ii) SPAC will be able to pay approximately $1.07 million of estimated transaction expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination from the Trust Account at the Closing; and (iii) after the payment of liabilities and expenses set forth in (i) and (ii) above, SPAC will have US$5,000,001 net asset at the Closing as required by the SPAC Articles. Assuming a $11.43 per share redemption price, the number of Public Shares remaining outstanding following the redemption must be at least 909,892 shares for SPAC to fulfill all of the abovementioned assumptions under maximum redemption scenario.

(5) Shintaro Tanahara is the record holder of 25,552 CayCo Ordinary Shares and Japan Brand Business Investment LLC is the record holder of 6,267,863 CayCo Ordinary Shares. Shintaro Tanahara is the manager of Japan Brand Business Investment LLC but does not hold any voting securities of Japan Brand Business Investment LLC. In aggregate, Shintaro Tanahara has voting and investment discretion with respect of 6,293,415 CayCo Ordinary Shares.

SPAC has not paid any cash dividends on its ordinary shares to date and do not intend to pay cash dividends prior to the completion of its initial business combination. The payment of cash dividends in the future will be dependent upon SPAC’s revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to completion of its initial business combination. The payment of any cash dividends of the ordinary shares of CayCo subsequent to the initial business combination will be within the discretion of the CayCo Board at such time.

The board of directors of CayCo has complete discretion in deciding whether to distribute dividends, subject to certain restrictions under Cayman Islands law, namely that it may only pay dividends out of profits or share premium, and provided always that in no circumstances may a dividend be paid if this would result in it being unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. In addition, CayCo’s shareholders may by ordinary resolution declare a dividend, but no dividend may exceed the amount recommended by CayCo’s board of directors. Even if its board of directors decides to pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on, among other things, its future results of operations and cash flow, its capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by it from its subsidiaries, its financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by its board of directors.

SERVICE OF PROCESS AND ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITIES UNDER
U.S. SECURITIES LAWS

CayCo is a company incorporated as an exempted company under the laws of the Cayman Islands with limited liability, which can enjoy the following benefits: (a) political and economic stability; (b) an effective judicial system; (c) a favorable tax system; (d) the absence of exchange control or currency restrictions; and (e) the availability of professional and support services. However, certain disadvantages accompany incorporation in the Cayman Islands. These disadvantages include:

• the Cayman Islands has a less exhaustive body of securities laws than the United States and these securities laws provide significantly less protection to investors; and

• Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to sue before the federal courts of the United States.

CayCo’s constitutional documents do not contain provisions requiring that disputes, including those arising under the securities laws of the United States, among us, our officers, directors and shareholders, be arbitrated.

All of CayCo’s directors and executive ofﬁcers as of the closing of the Business Combination will reside outside the United States. The majority of CayCo’s assets and the assets of those non-resident persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible for shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon CayCo or those persons or to enforce against CayCo or them, judgments obtained in U.S. courts, or to enforce in U.S. courts, judgments obtained against them in courts in jurisdictions outside the United States, including judgments predicated upon civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or other laws of the United States. It may also be difficult for shareholder to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts based on the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against CayCo and its executive officers and directors.

CayCo has appointed Cogency Global Inc. as its agent upon whom process may be served in any action brought against CayCo under the laws of the United States arising out of this offering or any purchase or sale of securities in connection with this offering. In addition, investors should not assume that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enforce (i) judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against CayCo, its ofﬁcers or directors, or other said persons, predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or other laws of the CayCo; or (ii) in original actions, impose liabilities against CayCo or such directors, ofﬁcers or experts predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or other laws of the United States. In addition, there is doubt as to the applicability of the civil liability provisions of federal securities laws of the United States to original actions instituted in the Cayman Islands. It may be difﬁcult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities laws claims in original actions instituted in the Cayman Islands.

CayCo has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would:

• recognize or enforce against CayCo judgments of courts of the United States based on certain civil liability provisions of U.S. securities laws; and

• entertain original actions brought in each respective jurisdiction against CayCo or its directors or officers predicated upon the federal securities laws of the United States or the securities laws of any state in the United States.

There is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, although the courts of the Cayman Islands will in certain circumstances recognize and enforce a foreign judgment, without any re-examination or re-litigation of matters adjudicated upon, provided such judgment:

(a) is given by a foreign court of competent jurisdiction;

(b) imposes on the judgment debtor a liability to pay a liquidated sum for which the judgment has been given;

(c) is final and conclusive;

(d) is not in respect of taxes, a fine or a penalty;

306

Table of Contents

(e) was not obtained by fraud; and

(f) is not impeachable on the grounds of fraud and was not obtained in a manner, is not of a kind the enforcement of which is contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands.

Subject to the above limitations, in appropriate circumstances, a Cayman Islands court may give effect in the Cayman Islands to other kinds of final foreign judgments such as declaratory orders, orders for performance of contracts and injunctions.

However, the Cayman Islands courts are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities law if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from U.S. courts would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (formerly “LatAmGrowth SPAC”)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related statement of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation that was formed for the purpose of completing a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities on or before April 27, 2024 or by making additional contributions to the trust to further extend the business combination deadline through October 27, 2024. The Company entered into a business combination agreement with a business combination target on December 22, 2023; however, the completion of this transaction is subject to the approval of the Company’s shareholders among other conditions. There is no assurance that the Company will obtain the necessary approvals, satisfy the required closing conditions, raise the additional capital it needs to fund its operations, and complete the transaction prior to October 27, 2024, if at all. The Company also has no approved plan in place to extend the business combination deadline and fund operations for any period of time after October 27, 2024, in the event that it is unable to complete a business combination by that date. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans with regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of
Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (formerly “LatAmGrowth SPAC”)

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022, the related statements of operations, shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Explanatory Paragraph — Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company had less than twelve months to complete a business combination or the Company would cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. Further, the Company’s cash and working capital as of December 31, 2022 were not sufficient to complete its planned activities for a reasonable period of time, which was considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. These conditions raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters were also described in Note 1. The financial statements did not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (the “PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION

Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (f/k/a LatAmGrowth SPAC) (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 20, 2021. On October 25, 2023, shareholder of the Company approved to change the name of the Company from LatAmGrowth SPAC to Chenghe Acquisition I Co. as a result of the Sponsor Sale (see details of such Sponsor Sale below). The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 20, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “IPO”), the search for a Business Combination target and the negotiation of a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on January 24, 2022. On January 27, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 13,000,000 units, (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrant”). On September 8, 2023, BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”) delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferred underwriting fee to be paid under the terms of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated January 24, 2022 entered into in connection with the IPO by and among the Company, BofA and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. — Cayman Branch (“BTG Pactual”). On September 19, 2023, BTG Pactual delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferring underwriting fee with respect to the Business Combination.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 7,900,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Old Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,900,000, which is discussed in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $7,647,620 consisting of $2,600,000 of underwriting discount, $4,550,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,620 of other offering costs. In addition, $2,494,203 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and was available for working capital purposes at the consummation of the IPO.

The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

Following the closing of the IPO on January 27, 2022, an amount of $132,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the public units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”) and was invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination within the time frame to consummate the business combination

period (the “Combination Period”) as defined in its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time, the “MAA”) or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate a Business Combination as a result of a shareholder vote to amend its MAA or (iii) the redemption of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s MAA to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements.

The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares 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 the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on conditions described in the Company’s IPO Prospectus. The amount in the Trust Account is $11.06 per public share as of December 31, 2023.

Ordinary shares subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity following the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).

On April 13, 2023, the Company convened an extraordinary general meeting (the “First Extraordinary General Meeting”) virtually. At the First Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved (1) the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company must (i) consummate its Business Combination, (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to consummate a Business Combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Company’s Public Shares from April 27, 2023 to November 27, 2023 (the “First Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “First Extension Amendment Proposal”); (2) the proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated January 24, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to allow the Company to extend, on a month to month basis, the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account established by the Company in connection with the IPO if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination, from April 27, 2023 to up to November 27, 2023 by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of $150,000 or $0.0375 per Public Share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal per calendar month commencing on April 27, 2023 (the “First Trust Amendment”); (3) the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (par value $0.0001, the “Class B ordinary shares” or “founder shares”) to convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”); and (4) the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to remove the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001. The approval of the First Extension Amendment Proposal gives the Company an additional 7 months to consummate its Business Combination under the Combination Period.

Additionally, at the First Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of Public Shares were afforded the opportunity to require the Company to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata share of the Trust Account. 7,399,517 of the 13,000,000 Public Shares were redeemed at a redemption price of approximately $10.47 per share for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $77.5 million, leaving 5,600,483 Public Shares remaining outstanding. Following this redemption, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $58.6 million.

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the Old Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,050,000 to fund the contributions to the Company’s Trust Account in connection with the First Extension Amendment and the First Trust Amendment (“April 2023 Note”). On each of April 27, 2023, May 30, 2023 and June 28, 2023, the Company deposited $150,000, for an aggregated of $450,000 into the Trust Account, of which, $300,000 was raised from the April 2023 Note. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and all amounts outstanding under the April 2023 Note, amounted to $300,000, are forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor. The amounts forgiven are booked as a capital transaction at October 4, 2023.

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that since the Company’s aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants was less than $1,000,000, the Company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(b)(C) (the “Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain an aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants of at least $1,000,000 (the “Notice”). The Company has been given 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company did not submit such plan. On August 16, 2023, the Staff notified the Company that NASDAQ determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Public Warrants, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, and listed to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “LATGW”, from NASDAQ and that trading in the Public Warrants would be suspended at the opening of business on August 25, 2023, due to the Company’s failure to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5452(b)(C). The Company did not appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. As a result, a Form 25-NSE was filed by NASDAQ on September 8, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to remove the Company’s Public Warrants from listing and registration on NASDAQ.

The Company’s current Sponsor is Chenghe Investment I Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “New Sponsor” and “Sponsor” means each of the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor, unless the context indicates otherwise). On September 29, 2023, the Company, the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”), and on October 6, 2023, the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor consummated the transactions contemplated by the SPA (the “Sponsor Sale”) pursuant to which the New Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company and (ii) 7,900,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Old Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus New Sponsor’s agreement to deposit into the Trust Account (a) on the closing of the Sponsor Sale, $450,000 for due and payable extension contribution payments which was provided to the Company in the form of a promissory note from the New Sponsor incurred prior to the date of the SPA and (b) on any other applicable due date, other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Prior to the Sponsor Sale closing, the Old Sponsor and the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company has fully satisfied, discharged and/or paid all of the Company’s Liabilities (as defined in the SPA) incurred on or prior to the closing date of the Sponsor Sale. Following the completion of the Sponsor Sale, the Old Sponsor owns 600,000 Class B ordinary shares and no Private Placement Warrants. The Old Sponsor, the New Sponsor and the Company further agreed that after the completion of the Sponsor Sale, to the extent that the New Sponsor transfers any Class B ordinary shares (the “Committed Shares”) for the purpose of securing further extension of the period of time that the Company can consummate its initial Business Combination (“Further Extension”), or reducing the number of holder of Class A ordinary shares electing to exercise its redemption rights in connection with any Further Extension, if the number of Class B ordinary shares so transferred by the New Sponsor is less than 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, the New Sponsor shall transfer to the Old Sponsor, at the closing of the Business

Combination, a number of additional Class B ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) 1,000,000 minus the number of Committed Shares and (ii) 0.5, rounded down to the nearest whole number (the “Earnout Shares”), provided that the number of Earnout Shares shall not exceed 250,000 Class B ordinary shares in the aggregate; provided further that, if the New Sponsor uses only cash or other arrangements (excluding the use of Class B ordinary shares) to secure the Further Extension, the amount of the Earnout Shares shall be 100,000 Class B ordinary shares. For the avoidance of doubt, if the New Sponsor uses a combination of cash or other arrangements and Class B ordinary shares to secure the Further Extension, the Old Sponsor shall be entitled to receive Earnout Shares based on the number of Class B ordinary shares transferred, in accordance with the formula described above.

The Company analyzed the SPA entered into during September 2023 under SAB Topic 5, Miscellaneous Accounting, section T, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s) and concluded that the SPA provides the Company with a benefit in the form of the right to receive additional extension contributions from the New Sponsor. The right to receive the additional extension contributions required the New Sponsor, who is a principal shareholder, to provide or cause to provide consideration in the form of a transfer of Class B ordinary shares of the Company. The estimated fair value of the earnout provision at the closing of the Sponsor Sale on October 6, 2023 is nominal to zero. As a result, the Company determined that an expense in the full amount of the fair value of the Class B ordinary shares transferred should be recorded. During October 2023, the Company recorded an expense under SAB Topic 5T of $2,851,750 with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, based on a Monte Carlo Model simulation valuation of the Class B ordinary shares.

In connection with the Sponsor Sale, previous management of the Company, Gerard Cremoux, former chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director, and Gerardo Mendoza, former chief investment officer, and former directors of the Company Michael McGuiness, Eduardo Cortina, Carole Philippe, Miguel Olea, Zain Manekia and Hector Martinez resigned from their respective position as a director (and/or officer, as the case may be), effective upon the closing of the Sponsor Sale. On October 6, 2023, Shibin Wang, Ning Ma, Kwan Sun and James Zhang were appointed as directors of the Company, and Zhiyang Zhou was appointed as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company.

On October 25, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Second Extraordinary General Meeting”) at which the shareholders approved (1) the proposal to amend the MAA to extend (the “Second Extension”) the Termination Date from October 27, 2023 to January 27, 2024 for a deposit of the lesser of (a) $240,000 in the aggregate and (b) $0.06 for each of the Class A ordinary share not elected to be redeemed immediately after the Second Extraordinary General Meeting; and to allow the Company, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders, by resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, to further extend the Termination Date for up to 9 times, each time by one month, from January 27, 2024 up to October 27, 2024, for the deposit of the lesser of (a) $80,000 and (b) $0.02 for each of the Class A ordinary share not elected to be redeemed immediately after the Second Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Second Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”; the deposits in relation to the extension, collectively, the “Extension Contributions”); (2) the proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to reflect the Second Extension, and to allow the Company to maintain any remaining amount in its Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank; and (3) the proposal to change the Company’s name from LatAmGrowth SPAC to Chenghe Acquisition I Co.

In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 1,658,610 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.94 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $18.1 million, leaving approximately $43.0 million in the Trust Account.

On October 25, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note (the “October 2023 Note”) to the New Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000. As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $404,170. Including the $428,000 cash transferred from the Company’s bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to the account controlled by the New Sponsor (as mentioned above), the New Sponsor paid $832,170 in total, on behalf of the Company, for extension and working

capital purposes, of which $610,000 was used for extension deposits and $222,170 was used for working capital purposes. As of the date hereof, additional $450,159 has been drawn from the October 2023 Note for working capital purposes.

On each of October 30, 2023 and November 29, 2023, the Company deposited $80,000 as Extension Contributions into the Trust Account to extend the Termination Date to December 27, 2023. On January 3, 2024, $76,512 was deposited as Extension Contribution into the Trust Account by FST (as defined below) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below), whereunder FST agreed to bear all of the fees and costs relating to the extension of the Company’s Termination Date not exceeding $80,000 per month. On each of February 2, 2024, March 4, 2024 and April 2, 2024, $78,837 was deposited as Extension Contribution into the Trust Account by FST pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, extending the Termination Date to April 27, 2024. The Extension Contributions loaned by the Sponsor will be forgiven if the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by FST due to the Company’s shareholders’ failure to approve the FST Business Combination (as defined below) or the Company’s material breach of its obligations as described in the Business Combination Agreement, the Company shall pay and reimburse FST the Extension Contribution(s) FST has deposited in the Trust Account with funds held outside of the Trust Account.

On November 6, 2023, pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as amended on October 25, 2023), the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to hold all funds in the Trust Account uninvested in an interest-bearing bank deposit account.

On October 2, 2023, the Old Sponsor entered into the EBC Letter Agreement, under which, the Old Sponsor agreed to (i) transfer, at no consideration, to EBC 25,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Old Sponsor at the closing of the Business Combination. If the Old Sponsor is required to forfeit Class B ordinary shares to the Company that it’s retaining pursuant to the SPA so that the total number of Class B ordinary shares becomes less than 500,000, EBC will forfeit a pro rata number of Class B ordinary shares with the Old Sponsor’s reduction below 500,000 such that the Class B ordinary shares held by EBC will then represent 5% of the total Class B ordinary shares held by the Old Sponsor and EBC; (ii) transfer to EBC an aggregate of 26.7% of any consideration it receives as a result of certain “tail” arrangement it has with a third party as a result of a proposed transaction; and (iii) pay to EBC an aggregate of $5,000 to reimburse EBC for expenses incurred by it for the services rendered to the Company and the Old Sponsor.

The 25,000 Class B ordinary shares that the Old Sponsor agreed to transfer to EBC (subject to forfeiture) were valued at $1.09 per share or an aggregate of $27,336 as at October 2, 2023, based on a Monte Carlo Model simulation valuation of the Class B ordinary shares. The amount will be recorded as Compensation Expense at the close of a Business Combination. The estimated fair value of the forfeiture provision on October 2, 2023, the date of the EBC Letter Agreement, was immaterial.

On October 2, 2023, in connection with the Sponsor Sale, EBC issued the EBC Waiver Letter to the Company, pursuant to which, the EBC BCMA is terminated. Under the EBC Waiver Letter, the Company agreed that such Class B ordinary shares to be transferred by the Old Sponsor to EBC under the EBC Letter Agreement will have the same registration rights as the other Class B ordinary shares held by the Old Sponsor.

On October 4, 2023, all amounts outstanding under the April 2023 Note were forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor. The amounts forgiven are booked as a capital transaction at October 4, 2023.

On November 8, 2023, the New Sponsor notified the Company that it elected to convert 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by itself to the same number of Class A ordinary shares, pursuant to the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by the New Sponsor were converted into

the same number of Class A ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2023, there were 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (3,941,873 shares are subject to possible redemption) and 2,191,873 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, issued and outstanding.

On November 8, 2023, the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company entered into the Amendment No.3 to the Investment Management Trust Agreement, pursuant to which, all references to “LatAmGrowth SPAC” in the Trust Agreement, including the exhibits thereto, are amended to “Chenghe Acquisition I Co.”.

On January 31, 2024, the Company signed an engagement letter with Revere Securities, LLC, pursuant to which, the Company has engaged Revere Securities, LLC to act as its financial advisor (a) in connection with the FST Business Combination and (b) on any private investment in the Company consisting of equity, debt, and/or equity-linked securities in connection with the FST Business Combination.

If the Company has not consummated the Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of 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 the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The Sponsor and each member of the management team have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s MAA (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot provide assurance that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per public share. In such event, the Company may not be able to complete the

initial Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Agreements

Business Combination Agreement

On December 22, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with FST Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CayCo”), FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo, (“Merger Sub”) and Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., a company limited by shares incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 04465819 (“FST” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “FST Parties”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and the Company will change its name to “FST Ltd.” (the “FST Business Combination”). Under the Business Combination Agreement, FST agreed to bear all of the fees and costs relating to the extension of the Company’s Termination Date not exceeding $80,000 per month. The Extension Contributions loaned to the Company will be forgiven if the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated by FST due to the Company’s shareholders’ failure to approve the FST Business Combination or the Company’s material breach of its obligations as described in the Business Combination Agreement, the Company shall pay and reimburse FST the Extension Contribution(s) FST has deposited in the Trust Account with funds held outside of the Trust Account.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the time when the Merger becomes effective, (i) each outstanding Unit of the Company will be automatically separated (“Unit Separation”) and the holder thereof will be deemed to hold one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one Public Warrant of the Company; (ii) each then issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of the Company will be automatically converted into one Class A ordinary share of the Company (the “SPAC Class B Conversion”) and each Class B ordinary share of the Company will no longer be issued and outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and cease to exist; (iii) each Class A ordinary share of the Company (which for the avoidance of doubt, includes the Class A ordinary shares (A) issued in connection with the SPAC Class B Conversion; and (B) held as a result of Unit Separation) will convert into the right to receive one ordinary share of CayCo; and (iv) each warrant of the Company that is outstanding and unexercised will automatically convert into the right to receive a warrant of CayCo, which shall be on the same terms and conditions as the applicable warrant of the Company.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the obligations of the parties (or, in some cases, some of the parties) to consummate the FST Business Combination are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain customary closing conditions of the respective parties, including, among others, (i) the accuracy of representations and warranties to various standards, from no material qualifier to a material adverse effect qualifier, (ii) material compliance with pre-closing covenants, (iii) no material adverse effect for FST, (iv) FST’s Company Acquisition Percentage (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) reaching at least 90%, (v) the consummation of the FST Restructuring (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), (vi) the delivery of customary closing certificates, (vii) the receipt of Taiwan DIR Approval and such approval being effective, (viii) the absence of a legal prohibition on consummating the transactions, (ix) approval by the SPAC’s and the Company’s shareholders, (x) approval of a listing application on the applicable stock exchange for newly issued shares, and (xi) SPAC having at least US$5,000,001 of net tangible assets remaining after redemption.

On October 6, 2023, the Company transferred cash balance of $428,000 from its bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to an account controlled by the New Sponsor, as the new bank account of the Company under the control of the New Sponsor has not been set up yet as of December 31, 2023. In January 2024, the Company set up a new bank account under control of the New Sponsor, as of the date hereof, no cash was deposited in the new bank account.

CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION (cont.)

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Old Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the founder shares to cover certain offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Old Sponsor of $142,350, which was paid in full on January 27, 2022 (see Note 5). After the consummation of the IPO, cash of $2,494,203 in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes.

The Company did not have any cash on hand as of December 31, 2023. Until consummation of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use the funds raised from the New Sponsor as mentioned below for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company can raise additional capital through Working Capital Loans (as defined below) from the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s officers and directors, or through loans from third parties. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued the April 2023 Note as described above. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and the withdrawal of $300,000 under the April 2023 Note was forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor.

On October 25, 2023, the Company issued the October 2023 Note. As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $404,170. Including the $428,000 cash transferred from the Company’s bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to the account controlled by the New Sponsor (as mentioned above), the New Sponsor paid $832,170 in total, on behalf of the Company, for extension and working capital purposes, of which $610,000 was used for extension deposits and $222,170 was used for working capital purposes. As of the date hereof, additional $450,159 has been drawn from the October 2023 Note for working capital purposes.

If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date and the Company is unable to obtain the funding to further extend the Termination Date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until April 27, 2024 (or October 27, 2024 subject to additional extension deposits of $78,837 each month) to consummate the initial Business Combination. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination by April 27, 2024 (or October 27, 2024 subject to additional extension deposits of $78,837 each month). Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non- emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company held cash of $0 and $1,103,214 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

Cash and Marketable Securities Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company held $43,605,597 and $134,512,063, respectively, in the Trust Account. On November 6, 2023, pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as amended on October 25, 2023), the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to hold all funds in the Trust Account uninvested in an interest — bearing bank deposit account. As of December 31, 2023, all funds in the Trust Account are held in cash. As of December 31, 2022, the amounts held in Trust Account consisted entirely of funds which invest only in cash and U.S. Treasury securities. All of the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are classified as trading securities. Trading securities are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Dividend income from securities in the Trust Account is included in interest earned on marketable securities held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in Trust Account are determined using available market information.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company assessed its warrants under ASC 480-25, “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) as derivative liabilities. A provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), the Company accounts for Warrants for the Company’s ordinary shares that are not indexed to its own stock as derivative liabilities at fair value on the balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

• Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

• Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to

F-19

Table of Contents

CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.

See Note 8 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Warrant and Over-allotment Liability

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity and measurement of fair value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities and overallotment option have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statements of operations as incurred. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or the creation of current liabilities.

The Company accounts for warrants and over-allotment as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant and over-allotment option’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants and over-allotment option are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants and over-allotment option meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants and over-allotment option are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant and over-allotment option issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants and over-allotment option are outstanding.

For warrants and over-allotment option that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For warrants and over-allotment that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, they are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and over-allotment option are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

The Company accounted for the Public Warrants (see Note 3), Private Placement Warrants (see Note 4) and over-allotment option (Note 6) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. The Warrants and over-allotment are not considered indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, and as such, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and

F-20

Table of Contents

CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A and Class B. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. The Company did not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO and the private placement in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share because their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted income per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for each class of ordinary shares:

|  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2023 |  | For the Year Ended December 31, 2022

Offering Costs associated with the IPO

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T — “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in temporary equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $7,647,620 as a result of the IPO (consisting of $2,600,000 of underwriting fees, $4,550,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $497,620 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $7,312,390 of offering costs as a

F-21

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

reduction of temporary equity in connection with the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $335,230 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and over-allotment option that were classified as liabilities.

Class A Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets. On April 13, 2023, in connection with First Extension Amendment Proposal, holders of 7,399,517 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised the right to redeem such shares for a payment of approximately $77.5 million or approximately $10.47 per share. On October 25, 2023, in connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, holders of the holders of 1,658,610 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.94 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $18.1 million, leaving approximately $43.0 million in the Trust Account.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On January 27, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 13,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,900,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,900,000.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights.

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On June 2, 2021, the Old Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. Up to 487,500 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by the Old Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. In March 2022, the Old Sponsor effected a surrender of the 487,500 founder shares to the Company for no consideration upon expiration of the over-allotment option. Pursuant to the Sponsor Sale as described above, the New Sponsor acquired 2,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, and on November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by the New Sponsor were converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2023, there were 2,191,873 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, issued and outstanding.

The holders of the Company’s founder shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares with respect to any founder shares (Lock-up). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the 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 the initial Business Combination or (2) the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the founder shares will be released from the lock-up.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

The sale or allocation of the founders shares to the Company’s director nominees and affiliates of its Sponsor group, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 22,000 shares transferred to the Company’s consultants on April 1, 2022 was $101,640 or $4.62 per share. The founder shares were effectively sold subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the founder shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of founders shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the founder shares. As of December 31, 2023, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On June 2, 2021, the Old Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to be used for a portion of the expenses of the IPO. These loans were non-interest bearing, unsecured and are due at the earlier of June 15, 2022 or the closing of the IPO. At the IPO date, the Company paid $142,350 to the Old Sponsor in full repayment of the promissory note. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no outstanding balance under the promissory note, respectively.

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued a non — interest bearing non — convertible unsecured promissory note to the Old Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,050,000 to fund the contributions to the Company’s Trust Account in connection with the First Extension Amendment and the First Trust Amendment. On each of April 27, 2023 and May 30, 2023, the Old Sponsor deposited $150,000 into the Trust Account, for an aggregated of $300,000. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and all amounts outstanding under the April 2023 Note are forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor. The amounts forgiven are booked as a capital transaction at October 4, 2023.

On October 25, 2023, the Company issued the October 2023 Note to the New Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000 to fund the Extension Contributions in connection with the Second Extension Amendment and working capital. As of December 31, 2023, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $404,170. Including the $428,000 cash transferred from the Company’s bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to the account controlled by the New Sponsor (as mentioned above), the New Sponsor paid $832,170 in total, on behalf of the Company, for extension and working capital purposes, of which $610,000 was used for extension deposits and $222,170 was used for working capital purposes. As of the date hereof, additional $450,159 has been drawn from the October 2023 Note for working capital purposes.

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The terms of such warrants would be identical to those of the Private Placement Warrants. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the (i) founder shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans have registration rights to require the Company to use its best efforts to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated January 24, 2022. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Legal Fee Arrangement

Pursuant to the SPA, in respect of the legal expenses of Shearman & Sterling LLP (“Shearman”), the Company’s legal counsel prior to the Sponsor Sale, owed by the Company, the Company will pay Shearman in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination of the Company together with the payment of other transaction expenses and fees pursuant to the funds flow for such Business Combination, an amount equal to $350,000 in immediately available funds to such account as may be provided by Shearman in advance in writing. In addition, the Old Sponsor shall reserve 15,000 Class B ordinary shares in respect of its obligation to Shearman and, promptly following the first date that such shares can be sold, the Old Sponsor will sell those shares and send the proceeds in immediately available funds to such account as may be provided by Shearman in advance in writing. In the event of liquidation of the Company prior to the completion of its initial Business Combination, the Company will pay Shearman $250,000 on or prior to such liquidation date in immediately available funds to such account as may be provided by Shearman in advance in writing. The Old Sponsor represents, warrants and agrees that the foregoing description of the payment of legal expenses constitute full and final settlement of such fees, and there is no other Liability (as defined in the SPA) of the Company in respect of the legal expenses of Shearman other than as so described. The Old Sponsor, the New Sponsor and the Company agree that Shearman shall be an express third party beneficiary of the terms of the legal fee arrangement under the SPA.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters of the IPO a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,950,000 Units to cover over-allotments, which expired unexercised on March 10, 2022.

The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,600,000. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $4,550,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

On September 8, 2023, BofA delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferred underwriting fee to be paid under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On September 19, 2023, BTG Pactual delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferring underwriting fee with respect to the Business Combination. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction of the deferred underwriting payable of $4,550,000, with $186,550 to other income and $4,363,450 to accumulated deficit.

Forward Purchase Agreement

An affiliate of the Old Sponsor (the “Sponsor Affiliate”) entered into a forward purchase agreement with the Company in connection with the IPO that provides for the purchase by the Sponsor Affiliate of an aggregate of up to 4,000,000 Units for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40,000,000, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of these forward purchase units, together with the amounts available to the Company from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other equity or debt financing obtained by the Company in connection

with the Business Combination, will be used to satisfy the cash requirements of the Business Combination, including funding the purchase price and paying expenses and retaining specified amounts to be used by the post-business combination company for working capital or other purposes. To the extent that the amounts available from the Trust Account and other financing are sufficient for such cash requirements, the Sponsor Affiliate may purchase less than 4,000,000 forward purchase units. In addition, the Sponsor Affiliate’s commitment under the forward purchase agreement will be subject to the Sponsor Affiliate’s completing the raising of a new fund, approval of its investment committee as well as customary closing conditions under the forward purchase agreement.

The forward purchase shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except that pursuant to the forward purchase agreement, they are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, subject to limited exceptions. The forward purchase warrants have the same terms as the private placement warrants.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination marketing agreement (the “EBC BCMA”) with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) for EBC’s assistance in connection with a potential Business Combination with a cash fee equal to $2,000,000 contingent upon closing of the Business Combination. If a proposed Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, no fee is due unless the Company receives a termination payment established in the definitive written agreement with the target company in the Business Combination, in which case, EBC will be entitled to 1/3 of the termination payment up to a maximum of $1,000,000. As prescribed by the BCMA, in the Company’s own discretion, it may engage EBC as non — exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a “best efforts” basis, in connection with a private placement of shares of common stock and/or convertible debt or preferred stock, the structuring of a collateralized equity transaction, or the arrangement of an equity line of credit of the Company in connection with the Business Combination, for a placement agent’s fee of (for equity and equity equivalents) 3.5% and (for debt and convertible securities) 2.0% of the capital raised by investors contracts by EBC, payable at the closing of the Business Combination.

On October 2, 2023, the Old Sponsor entered into a letter agreement with EBC (the “EBC Letter Agreement”), under which, the Old Sponsor agreed to (i) transfer, at no consideration, to EBC 25,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Old Sponsor at the closing of the Business Combination. If the Old Sponsor is required to forfeit Class B ordinary shares to the Company that it’s retaining pursuant to the SPA so that the total number of Class B ordinary shares becomes less than 500,000, EBC will forfeit a pro rata number of Class B ordinary shares with the Old Sponsor’s reduction below 500,000 such that the Class B ordinary shares held by EBC will then represent 5% of the total Class B ordinary shares held by the Old Sponsor and EBC; (ii) transfer to EBC an aggregate of 26.7% of any consideration it receives as a result of certain “tail” arrangement it has with a third party as a result of a proposed transaction; and (iii) pay to EBC an aggregate of $5,000 to reimburse EBC for expenses incurred by it for the services rendered to the Company and the Old Sponsor.

The 25,000 Class B ordinary shares that the Old Sponsor agreed to transfer to EBC (subject to forfeiture) were valued at $1.09 per share or an aggregate of $27,336 as at October 2, 2023, based on a Monte Carlo Model simulation valuation of the Class B ordinary shares. The amount will be recorded as Compensation Expense at the close of a Business Combination. The estimated fair value of the forfeiture provision on October 2, 2023, the date of the EBC Letter Agreement, was immaterial.

On October 2, 2023, in connection with the Sponsor Sale (see Note 1), EBC issued a waiver letter (“EBC Waiver Letter”) to the Company, pursuant to which, the EBC BCMA is terminated. Under the EBC Waiver Letter, the Company agreed that such Class B ordinary shares to be transferred by the Old Sponsor to EBC under the EBC Letter Agreement will have the same registration rights as the other Class B ordinary shares held by the Old Sponsor.

Preference shares — The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $0.0001 and with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Company’s board of directors. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no shares of preference shares issued or outstanding.

Class A ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 200,000,000 Class A ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, 1,058,127 and 0 shares of Class A ordinary shares issued or outstanding (excluding 3,941,873 and 13,000,000 shares subject to possible redemption), respectively.

Class B ordinary shares — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders are entitled to one vote for each share of Class B ordinary shares. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were 2,191,873 and 3,250,000 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding, respectively.

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 the shareholders except as required by law or the MAA. Unless specified in the Company’s MAA, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its shareholders.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including 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, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

On April 13, 2023, at the First Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved, among others, the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares to convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder.

On November 8, 2023, the New Sponsor notified the Company that it elected to convert 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by itself to the same number of Class A ordinary shares, pursuant to the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by the New Sponsor were converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares. As of December 31, 2023, there were 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (3,941,873 shares are subject to possible redemption) and 2,191,873 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, issued and outstanding.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on December 31, 2023 and 2022 and indicates the Level 3 fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

|  | December 31, 2023 |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Warrant liabilities – Public Warrants |  | $ | 65,000 |  | $ | 65,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | —
Warrant liabilities – Private Placement Warrants |  |  | 79,000 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 79,000
|  | $ | 144,000 |  | $ | 65,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | 79,000

|  | December 31, 2022 |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Warrant liabilities – Public Warrants |  | $ | 780,000 |  | $ | 780,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | —
Warrant liabilities – Private Placement Warrants |  |  | 948,000 |  |  | — |  |  | 948,000 |  |  | —
|  | $ | 1,728,000 |  | $ | 780,000 |  | $ | 948,000 |  | $ | —

The Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities on the balance sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at inception and remeasured on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the statements of operations.

The overallotment option was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and was presented within liabilities on the balance sheets from January 27, 2022 up to its expiration on March 10, 2022. The overallotment liability was measured at fair value at inception. The expiration of the overallotment resulted in a gain of $390,000 which is presented within gain on expiration of overallotment option in the statements of operations.

The Company used a Binomial Option Pricing Model to value the Private Placement Warrants and a Black-Scholes model to value the overallotment option at the initial measurement date. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of Class A ordinary shares and one-half of one Public Warrant), first to the warrants and overallotment option based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity) based on their fair values at the initial measurement date. The Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and overallotment option were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the initial measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.

At December 31, 2023, the Company used the quoted price on Over-the-Counter Market (the “OTC”) to establish the fair value of the Public Warrants. At December 31, 2022, the Company used the quoted price on Nasdaq to establish the fair value of the Public Warrants and transferred the Public Warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 due to the use of observable inputs.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

The Private Placement Warrants were transferred to a Level 2 from a Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market. At December 31, 2022 the Company’s Public Warrant price was used to valuate the Private Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants changed from Level 2 at March 31, 2023 to Level 3 at December 31, 2023 as a result of the lack of an observable market quote of the Public Warrants on that day. At December 31, 2023 a Monte Carlo simulation methodology was used in estimating the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants. The key inputs for Monte Carlo simulation for the Private Placement Warrants as of December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Input |  | December 31, 2023
Public Warrant Price |  | $ | 0.01 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 4.64 | %
Expected term (years) |  |  | 1.26 |
Expected volatility |  |  | de minimis |
Stock price |  | $ | 11.03 |
Exercise price |  | $ | 11.50 |

NOTE 9 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

As of the date hereof, additional $450,159 has been drawn from the October 2023 Note for working capital purposes.

On each of February 2, 2024, March 4, 2024 and April 2, 2024, $78,837 was deposited as Extension Contribution into the Trust Account by FST pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, extending the Termination Date to April 27, 2024.

CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION

Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (f/k/a LatAmGrowth SPAC) (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on May 20, 2021. On October 25, 2023, shareholder of the Company approved to change the name of the Company from LatAmGrowth SPAC to Chenghe Acquisition I Co. as a result of the Sponsor Sale (see details of such Sponsor Sale below). The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”).

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from May 20, 2021 (inception) through June 30, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation, its initial public offering (the “IPO”), the search for a Business Combination target and the negotiation of a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the IPO. The Company has selected December 31 as its fiscal year end.

The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on January 24, 2022. On January 27, 2022, the Company consummated the IPO of 13,000,000 units, (the “Units” and, with respect to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3. Each Unit consists of one Public Share and one-half of one redeemable warrant (the “Public Warrant”). On September 8, 2023, BofA Securities, Inc. (“BofA”) delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferred underwriting fee to be paid under the terms of the underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) dated January 24, 2022 entered into in connection with the IPO by and among the Company, BofA and Banco BTG Pactual S.A. (“BTG Pactual”). On September 19, 2023, BTG Pactual delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferring underwriting fee with respect to the Business Combination.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 7,900,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to LatAmGrowth Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Old Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,900,000, which is discussed in Note 4.

Transaction costs amounted to $7,647,620 consisting of $2,600,000 of underwriting discount, $4,550,000 of deferred underwriting discount, and $497,620 of other offering costs. In addition, $2,494,203 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account (as defined below) and was available for working capital purposes at the consummation of the IPO.

The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete such Business Combination if the post transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully.

Following the closing of the IPO on January 27, 2022, an amount of $132,600,000 ($10.20 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the public units in the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a Trust Account (“Trust Account”) and was invested only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act that invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any, the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will not be released from the Trust Account until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, (ii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination within the time frame to consummate the business combination

period (the “Combination Period”) as defined in its amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as amended from time to time, the “MAA”) or during any extended time that the Company has to consummate a Business Combination as a result of a shareholder vote to amend its MAA or (iii) the redemption of the public shares properly submitted in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s MAA to (A) modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of the public shareholders.

The Company will provide its public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their public shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the initial Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a proposed initial Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion, and will be based on a variety of factors such as the timing of the transaction and whether the terms of the transaction would require the Company to seek shareholder approval under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements.

The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares 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 the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to the limitations and on conditions described in the Company’s IPO Prospectus. The amount in the Trust Account is $11.43 per public share as of June 30, 2024.

Ordinary shares subject to redemption are recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity following the completion of the IPO, in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”).

On April 13, 2023, the Company convened an extraordinary general meeting (the “First Extraordinary General Meeting”) virtually. At the First Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved (1) the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company must (i) consummate its Business Combination, (ii) cease its operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to consummate a Business Combination, and (iii) redeem all of the Company’s Public Shares from April 27, 2023 to November 27, 2023 (the “First Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “First Extension Amendment Proposal”); (2) the proposal to amend the Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated January 24, 2022 (the “Trust Agreement”), by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, to allow the Company to extend, on a month to month basis, the date on which the Trustee must liquidate the Trust Account established by the Company in connection with the IPO if the Company has not completed its initial Business Combination, from April 27, 2023 to up to November 27, 2023 by depositing into the Trust Account the lesser of $150,000 or $0.0375 per Public Share that remains outstanding and is not redeemed in connection with the First Extension Amendment Proposal per calendar month commencing on April 27, 2023 (the “First Trust Amendment”); (3) the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares (par value $0.0001, the “Class B ordinary shares” or “founder shares”) to convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder (the “Founder Share Amendment Proposal”); and (4) the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to remove the limitation that the Company shall not redeem Public Shares to the extent that such redemption would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 . The approval of the First Extension Amendment Proposal gives the Company an additional 7 months to consummate its Business Combination under the Combination Period.

Additionally, at the First Extraordinary General Meeting, holders of Public Shares were afforded the opportunity to require the Company to redeem their Public Shares for their pro rata share of the Trust Account. 7,399,517 of the 13,000,000 Public Shares were redeemed at a redemption price of approximately $10.47 per share for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $77.5 million, leaving 5,600,483 Public Shares remaining outstanding. Following this redemption, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $58.6 million.

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the Old Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,050,000 to fund the contributions to the Company’s Trust Account in connection with the First Extension Amendment and the First Trust Amendment (“April 2023 Note”). On each of April 27, 2023, May 30, 2023 and June 28, 2023, the Company deposited $150,000, for an aggregated of $450,000 into the Trust Account, of which, $300,000 was raised from the April 2023 Note. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and all amounts outstanding under the April 2023 Note, amounted to $300,000, are forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor. The amounts forgiven are booked as a capital transaction at October 4, 2023.

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”) indicating that since the Company’s aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants was less than $1,000,000, the Company was no longer in compliance with the Nasdaq Global Market continued listing criteria set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rule 5452(b)(C) (the “Rule”), which requires the Company to maintain an aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants of at least $1,000,000 (the “Notice”). The Company has been given 45 calendar days from the date of the Notice to submit a plan to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company did not submit such plan. On August 16, 2023, the Staff notified the Company that NASDAQ determined to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s Public Warrants, each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, and listed to trade on NASDAQ under the symbol “LATGW”, from NASDAQ and that trading in the Public Warrants would be suspended at the opening of business on August 25, 2023, due to the Company’s failure to maintain a minimum of $1,000,000 in aggregate market value of its outstanding warrants for continued listing under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5452(b)(C). The Company did not appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. As a result, a Form 25-NSE was filed by NASDAQ on September 8, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to remove the Company’s Public Warrants from listing and registration on NASDAQ.

The Company’s current Sponsor is Chenghe Investment I Limited, an exempted company incorporated with limited liability under the laws of Cayman Islands (the “New Sponsor” and “Sponsor” means each of the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor, unless the context indicates otherwise). On September 29, 2023, the Company, the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “SPA”), and on October 6, 2023, the Old Sponsor and the New Sponsor consummated the transactions contemplated by the SPA (the “Sponsor Sale”) pursuant to which the New Sponsor acquired an aggregate of (i) 2,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share of the Company and (ii) 7,900,000 Private Placement Warrants held by the Old Sponsor for an aggregate purchase price of $1.00 plus New Sponsor’s agreement to deposit into the Trust Account (a) on the closing of the Sponsor Sale, $450,000 for due and payable extension contribution payments which was provided to the Company in the form of a promissory note from the New Sponsor incurred prior to the date of the SPA and (b) on any other applicable due date, other extension payments that may become due after the Sponsor Sale, and in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement. Prior to the Sponsor Sale closing, the Old Sponsor and the Company shall take all actions necessary to ensure that the Company has fully satisfied, discharged and/or paid all of the Company’s Liabilities (as defined in the SPA) incurred on or prior to the closing date of the Sponsor Sale. Following the completion of the Sponsor Sale, the Old Sponsor owns 600,000 Class B ordinary shares and no Private Placement Warrants. The Old Sponsor, the New Sponsor and the Company further agreed that after the completion of the Sponsor Sale, to the extent that the New Sponsor transfers any Class B ordinary shares (the “Committed Shares”) for the purpose of securing further extension of the period of time that the Company can consummate its initial Business Combination (“Further Extension”), or reducing the number of holder of Class A ordinary shares electing to exercise its redemption rights in connection with any Further Extension, if the number of Class B ordinary shares so transferred by the New Sponsor is less than 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, the New Sponsor shall transfer to the Old Sponsor, at the closing of the

Business Combination, a number of additional Class B ordinary shares equal to the product of (i) 1,000,000 minus the number of Committed Shares and (ii) 0.5, rounded down to the nearest whole number (the “Earnout Shares”), provided that the number of Earnout Shares shall not exceed 250,000 Class B ordinary shares in the aggregate; provided further that, if the New Sponsor uses only cash or other arrangements (excluding the use of Class B ordinary shares) to secure the Further Extension, the amount of the Earnout Shares shall be 100,000 Class B ordinary shares. For the avoidance of doubt, if the New Sponsor uses a combination of cash or other arrangements and Class B ordinary shares to secure the Further Extension, the Old Sponsor shall be entitled to receive Earnout Shares based on the number of Class B ordinary shares transferred, in accordance with the formula described above.

The Company analyzed the SPA entered into during September 2023 under SAB Topic 5, Miscellaneous Accounting, section T, Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s) and concluded that the SPA provides the Company with a benefit in the form of the right to receive additional extension contributions from the New Sponsor. The right to receive the additional extension contributions required the New Sponsor, who is a principal shareholder, to provide or cause to provide consideration in the form of a transfer of Class B ordinary shares of the Company. The estimated fair value of the earnout provision at the closing of the Sponsor Sale on October 6, 2023 is nominal to zero. As a result, the Company determined that an expense in the full amount of the fair value of the Class B ordinary shares transferred should be recorded. During October 2023, the Company recorded an expense under SAB Topic 5T of $2,851,750 with a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital, based on a Monte Carlo Model simulation valuation of the Class B ordinary shares.

In connection with the Sponsor Sale, previous management of the Company, Gerard Cremoux, former chief executive officer, chief financial officer and director, and Gerardo Mendoza, former chief investment officer, and former directors of the Company Michael McGuiness, Eduardo Cortina, Carole Philippe, Miguel Olea, Zain Manekia and Hector Martinez resigned from their respective position as a director (and/or officer, as the case may be), effective upon the closing of the Sponsor Sale. On October 6, 2023, Shibin Wang, Ning Ma, Kwan Sun and James Zhang were appointed as directors of the Company, and Zhiyang Zhou was appointed as chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company. On June 21, 2024, the Company received a notice from Zhiyang Zhou of her decision to resign as the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the Company due to personal reason, effectively immediately.

On June 27, 2024, the board of directors of the Company appointed Yixuan Yuan as the chief executive officer of the Company, Zhaohai Wang as chief financial officer of the Company, and Zhiyang Zhou as president of the Company.

On October 25, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting (the “Second Extraordinary General Meeting”) at which the shareholders approved (1) the proposal to amend the MAA to extend (the “Second Extension”) the Termination Date from October 27, 2023 to January 27, 2024 for a deposit of the lesser of (a) $240,000 in the aggregate and (b) $0.06 for each of the Class A ordinary share not elected to be redeemed immediately after the Second Extraordinary General Meeting; and to allow the Company, without the need for any further approval of the Company’s shareholders, by resolutions of the board of directors of the Company, to further extend the Termination Date for up to 9 times, each time by one month, from January 27, 2024 up to October 27, 2024, for the deposit of the lesser of (a) $80,000 and (b) $0.02 for each of the Class A ordinary share not elected to be redeemed immediately after the Second Extraordinary General Meeting (the “Second Extension Amendment” and such proposal, the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”; the deposits in relation to the extension, collectively, the “Extension Contributions”); (2) the proposal to amend the Trust Agreement to reflect the Second Extension, and to allow the Company to maintain any remaining amount in its Trust Account in an interest bearing demand deposit account at a bank; and (3) the proposal to change the Company’s name from LatAmGrowth SPAC to Chenghe Acquisition I Co.

In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 1,658,610 Class A ordinary shares elected to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.94 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of approximately $18.1 million, leaving approximately $43.0 million in the Trust Account.

The amount will be recorded as Compensation Expense at the close of a Business Combination.

On January 3, 2024, $76,512.38, and on each of February 2, 2024, March 4, 2024, April 2, 2024, May 3, 2024, May 31, 2024, July 2, 2024 and August 2, 2024, $78,837, was deposited as Extension Contribution into the Trust Account by FST pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, extending the Termination Date to August 27, 2024.

If the Company has not consummated the Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Company will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of 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 the Company’s remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject, in each case, to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

The Sponsor and each member of the management team have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination; (ii) waive their redemption rights with respect to their founder shares and public shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s MAA (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other material provisions relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if the Company fails to complete the initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any public shares they

hold if the Company fails to complete its initial Business Combination within the prescribed time frame; and (iv) vote any founder shares held by them and any public shares purchased during or after the IPO (including in open market and privately-negotiated transactions) in favor of the initial Business Combination.

The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or Business Combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.20 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.20 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, less taxes payable, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account (whether or not such waiver is enforceable) nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the IPO against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, the Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. Therefore, the Company cannot provide assurance that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. As a result, if any such claims were successfully made against the Trust Account, the funds available for the initial Business Combination and redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.20 per public share. In such event, the Company may not be able to complete the initial Business Combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any redemption of your public shares. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Business Combination Agreement and Ancillary Agreements

Business Combination Agreement

On December 22, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with FST Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“CayCo”), FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo, (“Merger Sub”) and Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd., a company limited by shares incorporated and in existence under the laws of Taiwan with uniform commercial number of 04465819 (“FST” and together with CayCo and Merger Sub, the “FST Parties”), pursuant to which, among other transactions, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company with the Company being the surviving company and as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of CayCo (the “Merger”), and the Company will change its name to “FST Ltd.” (the “FST Business Combination”).

The Extension Contributions loaned to the Company will be forgiven if the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination except to the extent of any funds held outside of the Trust Account.

by the New Sponsor and (z) as long as the Sponsor Parties (as defined therein) beneficially own any ordinary shares of CayCo, CayCo shall take all necessary actions to cause the individuals nominated by the New Sponsor for election as directors to be elected as directors.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had no cash on hand and working capital deficit of $3,605,371. On October 6, 2023, the Company transferred cash balance of $428,000 from its bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to an account controlled by the New Sponsor, as the new bank account of the Company under the control of the New Sponsor has not been set up yet. In January 2024, the Company set up a new bank account under control of the New Sponsor, as of the date hereof, no cash was deposited in the new bank account.

The Company’s liquidity needs prior to the IPO had been satisfied through a payment from the Old Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the founder shares to cover certain offering costs and the loan under an unsecured promissory note from the Old Sponsor of $142,350, which was paid in full on January 27, 2022 (see Note 5). After the consummation of the IPO, cash of $2,494,203 in excess of the funds deposited in the Trust Account and/or used to fund offering expenses was released to the Company for general working capital purposes.

The Company did not have any cash on hand as of June 30, 2024. Until consummation of its initial Business Combination, the Company will use the funds raised from the New Sponsor as mentioned below for paying existing accounts payable, identifying and evaluating prospective initial Business Combination candidates, performing due diligence on prospective target businesses, paying for travel expenditures, selecting the target business to merge with or acquire, and structuring, negotiating and consummating the Business Combination.

The Company can raise additional capital through Working Capital Loans (as defined below) from the Sponsor, an affiliate of the Sponsor, certain of the Company’s officers and directors, or through loans from third parties. If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it may be required to take additional measures to conserve liquidity, which could include, but not necessarily be limited to, curtailing operations, suspending the pursuit of its business plan, and reducing overhead expenses. The Company cannot provide assurance that new financing will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all.

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued the April 2023 Note as described above. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and the withdrawal of $300,000 under the April 2023 Note was forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor.

On October 25, 2023, the Company issued the October 2023 Note. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668. Including the $428,000 cash transferred from the Company’s bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to the account controlled by the New Sponsor (as mentioned above), the New Sponsor paid $1,555,668 in total, on behalf of the Company, for extension and working capital purposes, of which $610,000 was used for extension deposits and $945,668 was used for working capital purposes.

On July 11, 2024, the Company issued the July 2024 Note to the New Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. The Company may apply the amount advanced by the New Sponsor under the July 2024 Note to fund the Extension Contribution or, as the Company deems appropriate, towards general corporate purposes (see Note 9).

If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date and the Company is unable to obtain the funding to further extend the Termination Date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” the Company has until August 27, 2024 (or October 27, 2024 subject to additional extension deposits of $78,837 each month) to consummate the initial Business Combination. The Company intends to complete the initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any business combination by August 27, 2024

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATION (cont.)

(or October 27, 2024 subject to additional extension deposits of $78,837 each month). Management has determined that the mandatory liquidation, should a business combination not occur, and potential subsequent dissolution, raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or consummating a business combination, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

Management is currently evaluating the impact of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the Russia-Ukraine war and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the war could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position, results of its operations and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these unaudited condensed financial statements. The unaudited condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in unaudited condensed financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed by the Company with the SEC on April 12, 2024. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non- emerging growth

F-43

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the condensed financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these condensed financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company did not have any cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company held no cash as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Cash Held in Trust Account

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company held $45,037,172 and $43,605,597, respectively, in the Trust Account. On November 6, 2023, pursuant to the Trust Agreement (as amended on October 25, 2023), the Company instructed Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company to hold all funds in the Trust Account uninvested in an interest — bearing bank deposit account. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, all funds in the Trust Account are held in cash.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company assessed its warrants under ASC 480-25, “Distinguishing liabilities from equity” and ASC 815-40 “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity”. The Company accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”) as derivative liabilities. A provision in the Warrant Agreement related to certain tender or exchange offers precludes the Warrants from being accounted for as components of equity. As the Warrants meet the definition of a derivative as contemplated in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”), the Company accounts for Warrants for the Company’s ordinary shares that are not indexed to its own

F-44

Table of Contents

CHENGHE ACQUISITION I CO.
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

stock as derivative liabilities at fair value on the balance sheets and measured at fair value at inception (on the date of the IPO) and at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, with changes in fair value recognized in the statements of operations in the period of change.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets, primarily due to its short-term nature.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The Company’s financial instruments are classified as either Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3. These tiers include:

• Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

• Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the investment is categorized in its entirety is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the investment. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the valuation of an investment in its entirety requires judgement and considers factors specific to the investment. The categorization of an investment within the hierarchy is based on the pricing transparency of the investment and does not necessarily correspond to the perceived risk of that investment.

See Note 8 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Warrant and Over-allotment Liability

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 815-15. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity and measurement of fair value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. In accordance with ASC 825-10 “Financial Instruments”, offering costs attributable to the issuance of the derivative warrant liabilities and overallotment option have been allocated based on their relative fair value of total proceeds and are recognized in the statements of operations as incurred. Derivative warrant liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or the creation of current liabilities.

The Company accounts for warrants and over-allotment as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant and over-allotment option’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The assessment considers whether the warrants and over-allotment option are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants and over-allotment option meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants and over-allotment option are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment is conducted at the time of warrant and over-allotment option issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants and over-allotment option are outstanding.

For warrants and over-allotment option that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, they are recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For warrants and over-allotment that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, they are required to be recorded as a liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants and over-allotment option are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations.

The Company accounted for the Public Warrants (see Note 3), Private Placement Warrants (see Note 4) and over-allotment option (Note 6) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815-40. The Warrants and over-allotment are not considered indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, and as such, they do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and are recorded as liabilities.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). ASC 740 requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for both the expected impact of differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and for the expected future tax benefit to be derived from tax loss and tax credit carry forwards. ASC 740 additionally requires a valuation allowance to be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the Government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of ordinary shares, which are referred to as Class A and Class B. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net income (loss) per ordinary share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the respective period. The Company did not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the IPO and the private placement in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per ordinary share because their exercise is contingent upon future events. As a result, diluted net income (loss) per ordinary share is the same as basic net income (loss) per ordinary share. Remeasurement associated with the redeemable Class A ordinary shares is excluded from income (loss) per ordinary share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

NOTE 2 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)

At June 30, 2024 and 2023, we did not have any dilutive securities and other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted income (loss) per share is the same as basic income per share for the period presented.

The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for each class of ordinary shares:

Offering Costs associated with the IPO

The Company complies with the requirements of ASC 340-10-S99-1, SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering”, and SEC Staff Accounting bulletin Topic 5T — “Accounting for Expenses or Liabilities Paid by Principal Stockholder(s)”. Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the IPO. Offering costs directly attributable to the issuance of an equity contract to be classified in temporary equity are recorded as a reduction of equity. Offering costs for equity contracts that are classified as assets and liabilities are expensed immediately. The Company incurred offering costs amounting to $7,647,620 as a result of the IPO (consisting of $2,600,000 of underwriting fees, $4,550,000 of deferred underwriting fees, and $497,620 of other offering costs). The Company recorded $7,312,390 of offering costs as a reduction of temporary equity in connection with the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units. The Company immediately expensed $335,230 of offering costs in connection with the Public Warrants, Private Placement Warrants and over-allotment option that were classified as liabilities.

Class A Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets. On April 13, 2023, in connection with First Extension Amendment Proposal, holders of 7,399,517 shares of Class A ordinary shares exercised the right to redeem such shares for a payment of approximately $77.5 million or approximately $10.47 per share. On October 25, 2023, in connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal,

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its condensed financial statements and disclosures.

The Company’s management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

NOTE 3 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On January 27, 2022, the Company consummated its IPO of 13,000,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $130,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per whole share. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and expire five years after the completion of the initial Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

NOTE 4 — PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 7,900,000 warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,900,000.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the warrants sold in the IPO except that the Private Placement Warrants, so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, (i) will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) may not (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of these Private Placement Warrants), subject to certain limited exceptions, be transferred, assigned or sold by the holders until 30 days after the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (iii) may be exercised by the holders on a cashless basis and (iv) will be entitled to registration rights.

If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units being sold in the IPO.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On June 2, 2021, the Old Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.007 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001. Up to 487,500 founder shares were subject to forfeiture by the Old Sponsor depending on the extent to which the underwriters’ over-allotment option is exercised. In March 2022, the Old Sponsor effected a surrender of the 487,500 founder shares to the Company for no consideration upon expiration of the over-allotment option. Pursuant to the Sponsor Sale as described above, the New Sponsor acquired 2,650,000 Class B ordinary shares, and on November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by the New Sponsor were converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2024, there were 2,191,873 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, issued and outstanding.

The holders of the Company’s founder shares have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder shares and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion thereof until the earlier to occur of: (i) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (ii) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange or other similar transaction after the initial Business Combination that results in all of the shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Any permitted transferees will be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares with respect to any founder shares (Lock-up). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (1) the closing price of the 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 the initial Business Combination or (2) the Company consummates a transaction after the initial Business Combination which results in the shareholders having the right to exchange their shares for cash, securities or other property, the founder shares will be released from the lock-up.

The sale or allocation of the founders shares to the Company’s director nominees and affiliates of its Sponsor group, as described above, is within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, stock-based compensation associated with equity-classified awards is measured at fair value upon the grant date. The fair value of the 22,000 shares transferred to the Company’s consultants on April 1, 2022 was $101,640 or $4.62 per share. The founder shares were effectively sold subject to a performance condition (i.e., the occurrence of a Business Combination). Compensation expense related to the founder shares is recognized only when the performance condition is probable of occurrence under the applicable accounting literature in this circumstance. Stock-based compensation would be recognized at the date a Business Combination is considered probable in an amount equal to the number of founders shares times the grant date fair value per share (unless subsequently modified) less the amount initially received for the purchase of the founder shares. As of June 30, 2024, the Company determined that a Business Combination is not considered probable, and, therefore, no stock-based compensation expense has been recognized.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On April 13, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the Old Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,050,000 to fund the contributions to the Company’s Trust Account in connection with the First Extension Amendment and the First Trust Amendment. On each of April 27, 2023 and May 30, 2023, the Old Sponsor deposited $150,000 into the Trust Account, for an aggregated of $300,000. The April 2023 Note was terminated on October 4, 2023 and all amounts outstanding under the April 2023 Note are forgiven without any further liability of the Company or the Old Sponsor. The amounts forgiven are booked as a capital transaction at October 4, 2023.

On October 25, 2023, the Company issued the October 2023 Note to the New Sponsor for a principal amount of up to $1,960,000 to fund the Extension Contributions in connection with the Second Extension Amendment and working capital. As of June 30, 2024, the total outstanding under the October 2023 Note was $1,127,668. Including the $428,000 cash transferred from the Company’s bank account controlled by the Old Sponsor to the account controlled by the New Sponsor (as mentioned above), the New Sponsor paid $1,555,668 in total, on behalf of the Company, for extension and working capital purposes, of which $610,000 was used for extension deposits and $945,668 was used for working capital purposes.

NOTE 5 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (cont.)

On July 11, 2024, the Company issued the July 2024 Note to the New Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. The Company may apply the amount advanced by the New Sponsor under the July 2024 Note to fund the Extension Contribution or, as the Company deems appropriate, towards general corporate purposes (see Note 9).

Working Capital Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes its initial Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that the initial Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds from the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The terms of such warrants would be identical to those of the Private Placement Warrants. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had no borrowings under the Working Capital Loans.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES

Registration and Shareholder Rights

The holders of the (i) founder shares, (ii) Private Placement Warrants, which were issued in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO and the Class A ordinary shares underlying such Private Placement Warrants and (iii) warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans have registration rights to require the Company to use its best efforts to register a sale of any of its securities held by them pursuant to a registration rights agreement dated January 24, 2022. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Legal Fee Arrangement

Pursuant to the SPA, in respect of the legal expenses of Shearman & Sterling LLP (“Shearman”), the Company’s legal counsel prior to the Sponsor Sale, owed by the Company, the Company will pay Shearman in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination of the Company together with the payment of other transaction expenses and fees pursuant to the funds flow for such Business Combination, an amount equal to $350,000 in immediately available funds to such account as may be provided by Shearman in advance in writing. In addition, the Old Sponsor shall reserve 15,000 Class B ordinary shares in respect of its obligation to Shearman and, promptly following the first date that such shares can be sold, the Old Sponsor will sell those shares and send the proceeds in immediately available funds to such account as may be provided by Shearman in advance in writing. In the event of liquidation of the Company prior to the completion of its initial Business Combination, the Company will pay Shearman $250,000 on or prior to such liquidation date in immediately available funds to such account as may be provided by Shearman in advance in writing. The Old Sponsor represents, warrants and agrees that the foregoing description of the payment of legal expenses constitute full and final settlement of such fees, and there is no other Liability (as defined in the SPA) of the Company in respect of the legal expenses of Shearman other than as so described. The Old Sponsor, the New Sponsor and the Company agree that Shearman shall be an express third party beneficiary of the terms of the legal fee arrangement under the SPA.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters of the IPO a 45-day option from the date of the IPO to purchase up to an additional 1,950,000 Units to cover over-allotments, which expired unexercised on March 10, 2022.

The underwriters received a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2%) of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $2,600,000. Additionally, the underwriters will be entitled to a deferred underwriting discount of 3.5% of the gross proceeds of the IPO, or $4,550,000, upon the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination.

On September 8, 2023, BofA delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferred underwriting fee to be paid under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. On September 19, 2023, BTG Pactual delivered a letter to the Company to waive its entitlement to the payment of $2,275,000 deferring underwriting fee with respect to the Business Combination. As a result, the Company recorded a reduction of the deferred underwriting payable of $4,550,000, with $186,550 to other income and $4,363,450 to accumulated deficit.

Forward Purchase Agreement

An affiliate of the Old Sponsor (the “Sponsor Affiliate”) entered into a forward purchase agreement with the Company in connection with the IPO that provides for the purchase by the Sponsor Affiliate of an aggregate of up to 4,000,000 Units for an aggregate purchase price of up to $40,000,000, in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The proceeds from the sale of these forward purchase units, together with the amounts available to the Company from the Trust Account (after giving effect to any redemptions of Public Shares) and any other equity or debt financing obtained by the Company in connection with the Business Combination, will be used to satisfy the cash requirements of the Business Combination, including funding the purchase price and paying expenses and retaining specified amounts to be used by the post-business combination company for working capital or other purposes. To the extent that the amounts available from the Trust Account and other financing are sufficient for such cash requirements, the Sponsor Affiliate may purchase less than 4,000,000 forward purchase units. In addition, the Sponsor Affiliate’s commitment under the forward purchase agreement will be subject to the Sponsor Affiliate’s completing the raising of a new fund, approval of its investment committee as well as customary closing conditions under the forward purchase agreement.

The forward purchase shares are identical to the Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold in the IPO, except that pursuant to the forward purchase agreement, they are not transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of our initial Business Combination, subject to limited exceptions. The forward purchase warrants have the same terms as the private placement warrants.

Business Combination Marketing Agreement

On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a business combination marketing agreement (the “EBC BCMA”) with EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) for EBC’s assistance in connection with a potential Business Combination with a cash fee equal to $2,000,000 contingent upon closing of the Business Combination. If a proposed Business Combination is not consummated for any reason, no fee is due unless the Company receives a termination payment established in the definitive written agreement with the target company in the Business Combination, in which case, EBC will be entitled to 1/3 of the termination payment up to a maximum of $1,000,000. As prescribed by the BCMA, in the Company’s own discretion, it may engage EBC as non-exclusive placement agent for the Company, on a “best efforts” basis, in connection with a private placement of shares of common stock and/or convertible debt or preferred stock, the structuring of a collateralized equity transaction, or the arrangement of an equity line of credit of the Company in connection with the Business Combination, for a placement agent’s fee of (for equity and equity equivalents) 3.5% and (for debt and convertible securities) 2.0% of the capital raised by investors contracts by EBC, payable at the closing of the Business Combination.

NOTE 6 — COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES (cont.)

On October 2, 2023, the Old Sponsor entered into a letter agreement with EBC (the “EBC Letter Agreement”), under which, the Old Sponsor agreed to (i) transfer, at no consideration, to EBC 25,000 Class B ordinary shares of the Company held by the Old Sponsor at the closing of the Business Combination. If the Old Sponsor is required to forfeit Class B ordinary shares to the Company that it’s retaining pursuant to the SPA so that the total number of Class B ordinary shares becomes less than 500,000, EBC will forfeit a pro rata number of Class B ordinary shares with the Old Sponsor’s reduction below 500,000 such that the Class B ordinary shares held by EBC will then represent 5% of the total Class B ordinary shares held by the Old Sponsor and EBC; (ii) transfer to EBC an aggregate of 26.7% of any consideration it receives as a result of certain “tail” arrangement it has with a third party as a result of a proposed transaction; and (iii) pay to EBC an aggregate of $5,000 to reimburse EBC for expenses incurred by it for the services rendered to the Company and the Old Sponsor.

The 25,000 Class B ordinary shares that the Old Sponsor agreed to transfer to EBC (subject to forfeiture) were valued at $1.09 per share or an aggregate of $27,336 as at October 2, 2023, based on a Monte Carlo Model simulation valuation of the Class B ordinary shares. The amount will be recorded as Compensation Expense at the close of a Business Combination. The estimated fair value of the forfeiture provision on October 2, 2023, the date of the EBC Letter Agreement, was immaterial.

On October 2, 2023, in connection with the Sponsor Sale (see Note 1), EBC issued a waiver letter (“EBC Waiver Letter”) to the Company, pursuant to which, the EBC BCMA is terminated. Under the EBC Waiver Letter, the Company agreed that such Class B ordinary shares to be transferred by the Old Sponsor to EBC under the EBC Letter Agreement will have the same registration rights as the other Class B ordinary shares held by the Old Sponsor.

Unless specified in the Company’s MAA, or as required by applicable provisions of the Companies Act or applicable stock exchange rules, the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares that are voted is required to approve any such matter voted on by its shareholders.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the consummation of the initial Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like, and subject to further adjustment as provided herein. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with the initial Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all founder shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including 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, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of founder shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

On April 13, 2023, at the First Extraordinary General Meeting, the shareholders approved, among others, the proposal to amend the Company’s MAA to provide for the right of a holder of the Company’s Class B ordinary shares to convert into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis prior to the closing of a Business Combination at the election of the holder.

On November 8, 2023, the New Sponsor notified the Company that it elected to convert 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by itself to the same number of Class A ordinary shares, pursuant to the Founder Share Amendment Proposal. On November 16, 2023, 1,058,127 Class B ordinary shares held by the New Sponsor were converted into the same number of Class A ordinary shares. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 5,000,000 Class A ordinary shares (3,941,873 shares are subject to possible redemption) and 2,191,873 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, issued and outstanding.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The following table presents information about the Company’s liabilities that are measured at fair value on June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and indicates the Level 3 fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value.

|  | June 30, 2024 |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Warrant liabilities – Public Warrants |  | $ | 325,000 |  | $ | 325,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | —
Warrant liabilities – Private Placement Warrants |  |  | 395,000 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 395,000
|  | $ | 720,000 |  | $ | 325,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | 395,000

|  | December 31, 2023 |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Warrant liabilities – Public Warrants |  | $ | 65,000 |  | $ | 65,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | —
Warrant liabilities – Private Placement Warrants |  |  | 79,000 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 79,000
|  | $ | 144,000 |  | $ | 65,000 |  | $ | — |  | $ | 79,000

The Public Warrants and the Private Placement Warrants are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815-40 and are presented within liabilities on the balance sheets. The warrant liabilities were measured at fair value at inception and remeasured on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented within change in fair value of warrant liabilities in the statements of operations.

The overallotment option was accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40 and was presented within liabilities on the balance sheets from January 27, 2022 up to its expiration on March 10, 2022. The overallotment liability was measured at fair value at inception. The expiration of the overallotment resulted in a gain of $390,000 which is presented within gain on expiration of overallotment option in the statements of operations.

NOTE 8 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (cont.)

The Company used a Binomial Option Pricing Model to value the Private Placement Warrants and a Black-Scholes model to value the overallotment option at the initial measurement date. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale of Units (which is inclusive of one share of Class A ordinary shares and one-half of one Public Warrant), first to the warrants and overallotment option based on their fair values as determined at initial measurement, with the remaining proceeds allocated to Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption (temporary equity) based on their fair values at the initial measurement date. The Public Warrants, the Private Placement Warrants and overallotment option were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at the initial measurement dates due to the use of unobservable inputs. Inherent in pricing models are assumptions related to expected share-price volatility, expected life and risk-free interest rate. The Company estimates the volatility of its ordinary shares based on historical volatility that matches the expected remaining life of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury zero-coupon yield curve on the grant date for a maturity similar to the expected remaining life of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company used the quoted price on Over-the-Counter Market (the “OTC”) to establish the fair value of the Public Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants were transferred to a Level 2 from a Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the use of an observable market quote for a similar asset in an active market. The Private Placement Warrants changed from Level 2 at June 30, 2023 to Level 3 at December 31, 2023 as a result of the lack of an observable market quote of the Public Warrants on that day. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 a Monte Carlo simulation methodology was used in estimating the fair value of the Private Placement Warrants. The key inputs for Monte Carlo simulation for the Private Placement Warrants as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows:

Input |  | June 30, 2024 |  | December 31, 2023
Public Warrant Price |  | $ | 0.05 |  |  | $ | 0.01 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | 5.00 | % |  |  | 4.64 | %
Expected term (years) |  |  | 1.23 |  |  |  | 1.26 |
Expected volatility |  |  | de minimis |  |  |  | de minimis |
Stock price |  | $ | 11.39 |  |  | $ | 11.03 |
Exercise price |  | $ | 11.50 |  |  | $ | 11.50 |

NOTE 9 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the condensed balance sheet date up to the date that the unaudited condensed financial statements were issued. Based on this review, other than described below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the unaudited condensed financial statements.

On each of July 2, 2024 and August 2, 2024, $78,837 was deposited as Extension Contribution into the Trust Account by FST pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, extending the Termination Date to August 27, 2024.

On July 11, 2024, the Company issued a non-interest bearing non-convertible unsecured promissory note to the New Sponsor, for a principal amount of up to $500,000. The Company may apply the amount advanced by the New Sponsor under the July 2024 Note to fund the Extension Contribution or, as the Company deems appropriate, towards general corporate purposes. The unpaid principal amount under the July 2024 Note will be repayable by the Company to the New Sponsor on the effective date of an initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving the Company and one or more businesses. The maturity date of the July 2024 Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the July 2024 Note).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for receivable, the recoverability of long-lived assets and accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, bank deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have insignificant risk of changes in value related to changes in interest rates and have original maturities of three months or less when purchased.

(d) Restricted cash

Restricted cash consist of loan guarantee and bank deposits with designated use, which cannot be withdrawn without certain approval or notice.

The restricted cash was $401,110 and $81,537 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, which was loan guarantees.

(e) Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable is stated at the original amount less an allowance for doubtful receivable.

Accounts receivable is recognized in the period when the Group has provided services to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. On January 1, 2018, the Group adopted ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326): Measurement on Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, including certain subsequent amendments, transitional guidance and other interpretive guidance within ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2019-11, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 (collectively, including ASU 2016-13, “ASC 326”). ASC 326 introduces an approach based on expected losses to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Group’s estimation of allowance for credit losses considers factors such as historical credit loss experience, age of receivable balances, current market conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions, as well as an assessment of receivables due from specific identifiable counterparties to determine whether these receivables are considered at risk or uncollectible.

The Group evaluates its accounts receivable for expected credit losses on a regular basis. The Group maintains an estimated allowance for credit losses to reduce its accounts receivable to the amount that it believes will be collected. The Group considers factors in assessing the collectability of its receivables, such as the age of the amounts due, the customer’s payment history, credit-worthiness and other specific circumstances related to the accounts. The Group adjusts the allowance percentage periodically when there are significant differences between estimated bad debts and actual bad debts. If there is strong evidence indicating that the accounts receivable is likely to be unrecoverable, the Group also makes specific allowance in the period in which a loss is determined to be probable. Accounts receivable balances are written off after all collection efforts have been exhausted.

The Group recognized allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,652 and $363,248, respectively, for the years ended December 31,2023 and 2022.

(f) Prepayment and other assets

Prepayment and other assets represent amounts that the Group has paid in advance of receiving benefits or services. Prepayment and other assets include amounts for prepayments to suppliers, prepaid expenses and prepayment for equipment and are recognized as an expense over the general contractual period.

(g) Related parties

Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or significant influence, such as a family member or relative, shareholder or a related corporation.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of raw materials is determined on the basis of standard costing. The cost of finished goods is determined on the basis of standard costing and comprises direct materials, direct labor cost and an appropriate proportion of overhead.

Net realizable value is based on estimated selling prices less selling expenses and any further costs of completion. Adjustments to reduce the cost of inventory to net realizable value are made, if required, for estimated excess, obsolescence, or impaired balances. Write-downs are recorded in the consolidated and combined statements of operations and comprehensive income.

(i) Property, plant and equipment, net

Property, plant and equipment, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment, if any, and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Cost represents the purchase price of the asset and other costs incurred to bring the asset into its intended use. Estimated useful lives are as follows:

Category |  | Estimated useful lives
Property and buildings |  | 3 – 40 years
Machinery |  | 1 – 15 years
Operating equipment |  | 3 – 7 years
Office and other equipment |  | 2 – 25 years
Leasehold improvements |  | 1 – 20 years

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expenses as incurred, whereas the cost of renewals and betterment that extends the useful lives of property, plant and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Retirements, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the costs, accumulated depreciation and impairment with any resulting gain or loss recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Construction in progress represents property, plant and equipment under construction and pending installation and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. Completed assets are transferred to their respective asset classes and depreciation begins when an asset is ready for its intended use. Interest expense on outstanding debt is capitalized during the period of significant capital asset construction. Capitalized interest expense on construction in progress is included within property, plant and equipment and is amortized over the life of the related assets.

(j) Intangible assets, net

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any recorded impairment. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line approach over the estimated economic useful lives of the assets as follows:

Category |  | Estimated useful lives
Trade mark |  | 25 years
Software |  | 2 – 10 years

(k) Long-term investment

The Group carries equity investment without readily determinable fair values at cost and recognizes income as any dividends declared from distribution of investee’s earnings.

The Group reviews the equity investment without readily determinable fair values for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may no longer be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in earnings equal to the difference between the investment’s carrying amount and its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. All equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those resulting in the consolidation of the investee, be accounted for at fair value with all fair value changes recognized in income. For equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values the Group measures the equity investment at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the Group in accordance with ASC topic 321, Investments — Equity Securities.

(l) Operating leases

The Group early adopted the ASC 842 as of January 1, 2020 using the cumulative effect adjustment approach.

The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Group has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Group not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date; and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date. Lastly, the Group elected the short-term lease exemption for all contracts with lease terms of 12 months or less. The Group recognizes lease expense for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Right-of-use assets represent the Group’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Group’s leases is not readily determinable, the Group utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments. The operating lease right-of-use assets also include lease payments made before commencement and exclude lease incentives. Some

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

of the Group’s lease agreements contained renewal options; however, the Group did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it was determined that the Group was reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurred. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group’s lease agreements did not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

The Group leases factories, warehouses, offices space, vehicles and machineries under non-cancellable operating leases. The Group considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities.

The Group determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group had no long-term leases that were classified as a financing lease, and the Group’s lease contracts only contain fixed lease payments and do not contain any residual value guarantee.

The Group’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.

(m) Borrowings

Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized as interest expense in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(n) Accounts and other payables

Accounts and other payables represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. They are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). Otherwise, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Accounts and other payables are initially recognized as fair value, and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

(o) Impairment of long-lived assets

The Group reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may no longer be recoverable. When these events occur, the Group measures impairment by comparing the carrying value of the long-lived assets to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group would recognize an impairment loss, which is the excess of carrying amount over the fair value of the assets, using the expected future discounted cash flows.

There was no impairment of long-lived assets recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(p) Fair value measurement

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

• Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

• Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data.

• Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects management’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by management based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, amounts due from related parties, accounts payable, borrowings, amounts due to related parties, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, amounts due from related parties, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, borrowings, amounts due to related parties, accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

(q) Revenue recognition

The Group recognized its revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of ASC606 allows the Group to recognize revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Group to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.

To achieve that core principle, the Group applies five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires the Group to (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies the performance obligation.

The Group derives its revenues principally from sales of golf club shafts and sales of sports accessories, food and beverage.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:

Sales of golf club shafts

The Group manufactures golf clubs and sells them to sports brand manufacturers and distributors. The revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies the performance obligation by transferring promised product to a customer upon acceptance by customers. The Group recognizes the accounts receivable at the time of delivery of the goods.

Sales of sports accessories, food and beverage

The Group is engaged in wholesale of alcoholic beverages, sale of sporting accessories in the retail market and the provision of catering services. Revenue is recognized when the product is physically delivered to and accepted by the customer, and the consideration is paid immediately when the customer purchases the product.

The contract payment is not subject to any variable consideration, refund, cancellation or termination provision. No significant financing component, noncash payment identified in the arrangements with customers.

Revenue by categories

The following table disaggregates the Group’s revenue categories for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

|  | For the Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2023 |  | 2022
Sales of golf club shafts |  | $ | 27,825,905 |  | $ | 49,111,948

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Accounts receivable represent revenue recognized for the amounts invoiced when the Group has satisfied its performance obligation and has unconditional right to the payment.

The contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents the billings or cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue when all the Group’s revenue recognition criteria are met. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Group’s deferred revenue, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, was $35,080 and $98,708 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Till the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognized $6,705 revenue that was included in contractual liabilities as of December 31, 2023.

Other than accounts receivable and deferred revenue, which was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets, the Group had no other material contract assets or recorded on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(r) Cost of sales

Cost of sales mainly consists of costs of raw materials, consumables, direct labour, outsourced processing fee, overhead costs, depreciation of property, plant and equipment, and inventory write-downs.

(s) Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are recoverable, management estimated that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will not generate sufficient taxable income to realize the deferred tax assets as December 31, 2023 and 2022. Thus, management decided to record all of the valuation allowance. There was no valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. While the Group consider the facts above, our projections of future income qualified tax-planning strategies may be changed due to the macroeconomic conditions and our business development. The deferred tax assets could be utilized in the future years if we make profits in the future, the valuation allowance shall be reversed.

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures.

The Group did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties will be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

(t) Employee benefits

(a) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees and should be recognized as expenses when the employees render service.

(b) Pensions

i) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in future payments.

ii) Defined benefit plans

1. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in the current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the statements of financial position in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statements of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method.

2. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

3. Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

(u) Government grants

Government subsidies are recognized as other income when received and all the conditions for their receipt have been met. The government subsidies were paid by cash and have no defined rules and regulations to govern the criteria necessary for the Group to enjoy the benefits.

Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognized as liabilities and are amortized to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using straight-line method. Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.

(v) Foreign currency transactions and translations

Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The reporting currency of the Group is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been expressed in US$. The functional currency of FST is the Taiwan dollars (“TWD”). The Group’s subsidiaries in US and Japan conduct their businesses and maintain its books and record in the local currency, US$ and Japan Yen(“JPY”), as their functional currency, respectively.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of FST and its subsidiary whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the statements of shareholders’ equity. Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods; therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

Translation of foreign currencies into US$1 have been made at the following exchange rates for the respective periods:

|  | For the Years Ended December 31,
|  | 2023 |  | 2022
Period end USD: TWD exchange rate |  | 30.6200 |  | 30.7300
Average USD: TWD exchange rate |  | 31.1525 |  | 29.7963
Period end USD: JPY exchange rate |  | 140.9200 |  | 131.8100
Average USD: JPY exchange rate |  | 140.5001 |  | 131.4589

(w) Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income consists of two components, net income and other comprehensive income. The foreign currency translation gain or loss resulting from translation of the consolidated financial statements expressed in TWD/JPY to USD is reported in other comprehensive (loss) income in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive.

(y) Segment reporting

The Group uses the management approach in determining its operating segments. The Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) identified as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer, relies upon the consolidated results of operations as a whole when making decisions about allocating resources and assessing the performance of the Group. As a result of the assessment made by CODM, the Group has only one reportable segment. The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting.

The Group’s long-lived assets are substantially located in the Taiwan and United States. The following table presents long-lived assets by geographic segment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

|  | December 31,
|  | 2023 |  | 2022

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

(z) Commitments and contingencies

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

(aa) Recent accounting pronouncements

The Group is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

Recent accounting standards that have been issued by FASB that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption. The Group does not discuss recent standards that are not anticipated to have an impact on or are unrelated to its consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Security and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial reporting. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with the Group’s audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair presentation of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Group believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

(b) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Significant accounting estimates include, but not limited to, the allowance for receivable, the recoverability of long-lived assets and accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

(c) Restricted cash

Restricted cash consist of loan guarantee and bank deposits with designated use, which cannot be withdrawn without certain approval or notice.

The restricted cash was $131,353 and $401,110 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, which was both loan guarantee.

(d) Revenue recognition

The Group recognized its revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of ASC606 allows the Group to recognize revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Group to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.

To achieve that core principle, the Group applies five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires the Group to (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies the performance obligation.

The Group derives its revenues principally from sales of golf club shafts and sales of sports accessories, food and beverage.

Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:

Sales of golf club shafts

The Group manufactures golf clubs and sells them to sports brand manufacturers and distributors. The revenue is recognized at a point in time when the Group satisfies the performance obligation by transferring promised product to a customer upon acceptance by customers. The Group recognizes the accounts receivable at the time of delivery of the goods.

Sales of sports accessories, food, beverage and others

The Group is engaged in wholesale of alcoholic beverages, sale of sporting accessories in the retail market and the provision of catering services. Revenue is recognized when the product is physically delivered to and accepted by the customer, and the consideration is paid immediately when the customer purchases the product.

The contract payment is not subject to any variable consideration, refund, cancellation or termination provision. No significant financing component, noncash payment identified in the arrangements with customers.

Revenue by categories

The following table disaggregates the Group’s revenue categories for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

The Group is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (Topic 280). This ASU updates reportable segment disclosure requirements by requiring disclosures of significant reportable segment expenses that are regularly provided to the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and included within each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. This ASU also requires disclosure of the title and position of the individual identified as the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measures of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Adoption of the ASU should be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is also permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statement.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740). The ASU requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. For public business entities, this standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. For non-public business entities, this standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption is permitted, and the disclosures in this standard are required to be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

FST Taiwan and the Group’s subsidiary in Japan may be exposed to significant currency risks from exchange rate fluctuations and the degree of foreign exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the TWD, and between the U.S. Dollar and the JPY. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the TWD denominated cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash amounted to $7,099,748 and $8,856,143, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the JPY denominated cash and cash equivalents amounted to $95,226 and $105,373, respectively.

(b) Liquidity risks

The Group is exposed to liquidity risks, which is the risk it will be unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet its commitments and business needs. The Group is also exposed to liquidity risk on the repayment of matured bank borrowings. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, short-term bank loans amounted to $13,869,220 and $14,236,270, respectively. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, the Group may turn to bank and other financial institutions to take loans to meet liquidity shortages.

(c) Interest rate risk

The Group is subject to interest rate risk. Bank interest bearing loans are charged at variable interest rates within the reporting period. The Group is subject to the risk of adverse changes in the interest rates charged by the banks when these loans are refinanced.

(d) Credit risks

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Group conducts credit evaluations of its customers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Group evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Group conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

The following table sets forth a summary of single customers who represented 10% or more of the Group’s total revenue.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Director and Shareholder of
FST Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FST Corp. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholder’s deficit, and cash flows for the period from November 24, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from November 24, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Group’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Group’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Group in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Group is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ Enrome LLP

We have served as the Group’s auditor since 2024.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In U.S. dollars, except for share and per share data, or otherwise noted)

1. Description of Organization and Business Operations

FST Corp. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands on November 24, 2023. The Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, FST Merger Ltd., a Cayman Islands company incorporated on November 27, 2023 (collectively, the “Group”), were formed for the purpose of effecting a merger between Chenghe Acquisition I Co. (“Chenghe”), Femco Steel Technology Co., Ltd. (“FST”) and certain other affiliated entities through a series of transactions (the “Business Combination”) pursuant to the definitive agreement entered into on December 22, 2023. In conjunction with the Business Combination, Chenghe and FST will become wholly owned subsidiaries of and will be operated by the Company, with the Company serving as the public listed company whose shares shall be traded on Nasdaq Capital Market.

2. Going concern

The Group’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities during the normal course of operations. The Group incurred net losses of US$20,768 for the period from November 24, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, with a working capital deficit of US$36,068 (excluding deferred offering costs). The Group’s operating results for future periods are subject to numerous uncertainties and it is uncertain if the Group will be able to reduce or eliminate its net losses for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Group may not be able to obtain additional financing. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management plans to address this uncertainty through a Business Combination as discussed in Notes 1. The Group’s financial statements do not give effect to any adjustments relating to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities that would be necessary should the Group be unable to continue as a going concern.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

(a) Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) to reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Group. Significant accounting policies followed by the Group in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements are summarized below.

(b) Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiary, FST Merger Ltd., directly owned by the Company. All transactions and balances among the Company and its subsidiary have been eliminated upon consolidation. The results of subsidiary acquired or disposed of are recorded in the consolidated income statements from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

A subsidiary is an entity in which (i) the Company directly or indirectly controls more than 50% of the voting power; or (ii) the Company has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or to cast a majority of votes at the meetings of the board of directors or to govern the financial and operating policies of the investee pursuant to a statute or under an agreement among the shareholders or equity holders.

(c) Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenues and expenses during the reported periods in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the consolidated financial statements.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies (cont.)

(d) Deferred offering costs

The Group complies with the requirements of the ASC 340-10-s99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) Topic 5A — “Expenses of Offering.” Offering costs consist principally of professional and registration fees incurred through the balance sheet date that are related to the Public Offering and that were charged to shareholders’ equity upon the completion of the Public Offering. Should the Public Offering prove to be unsuccessful, these deferred costs, as well as additional expenses to be incurred, will be charged to operations, As of December 31, 2023, the Group capitalized $15,300 of deferred offering costs.

(e) Fair value measurement

The fair value of the Group’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheet, primarily due to their short-term nature.

(f) Income taxes

The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.

The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures.

The Group did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of income for the years ended December 31, 2023. The Group will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties will be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.

The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

(g) Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Group’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

The Group’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

4. Related party transactions

For the period from November 24, 2023 (inception) through December 31, 2023, the Company’s related party, FST, made payment on behalf of the Group. The payments were non-interest bearing and had no due date, which was offering costs of US$15,300 and formation costs of US$20,768. The balance of amount due to a related party was $36,068 as of June 30, 2024.

5. Ordinary shares

The authorized number of ordinary shares of the Company is 500,000,000 shares with par value of US$0.0001 each. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had issued one ordinary share.

6. Subsequent events

The Group evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based on this review, the Group did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.

(g) Recent accounting pronouncements

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which requires disclosure of incremental income tax information within the rate reconciliation and expanded disclosures of income taxes paid, among other disclosure requirements ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Group’s management does not believe the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

The Group’s management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Article X
MISCELLANEOUS

10.1. Trust Account Waiver. Each of the Company Parties acknowledges that SPAC is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a Business Combination. Each of the Company Parties further acknowledges that, as described in the prospectus dated January 24, 2022, available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of SPAC assets consist of the cash proceeds of SPAC’s initial public offering and private placements of its securities and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account for the benefit of SPAC, certain of its public shareholders and the underwriters of SPAC’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”). Each of the Company Parties acknowledges that it has been advised by SPAC that funds in the Trust Account may be disbursed only in

Annex A-62

Table of Contents

accordance with the Trust Agreement and SPAC’s Governing Documents. For and in consideration of SPAC entering into this Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the Company Parties hereby irrevocably waives any right, title, interest or claim of any kind it has or may have in the future in or to any monies in the Trust Account and agree not to seek recourse against the Trust Account or any funds distributed therefrom as a result of, or arising out of, this Agreement and any negotiations, Contracts or agreements with SPAC; provided, that (x) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against SPAC for legal relief against monies or other assets held outside the Trust Account, for specific performance or other equitable relief in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including a claim for SPAC to specifically perform its obligations under this Agreement and cause the disbursement of the balance of the cash remaining in the Trust Account (after giving effect to the SPAC Shareholder Redemptions) to the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Trust Agreement) so long as such claim would not affect SPAC’s ability to fulfill its obligation to effectuate the SPAC Shareholder Redemptions, or for fraud, and (y) nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit any claims that the Company may have in the future against SPAC’s assets or funds that are not held in the Trust Account (including any funds that have been released from the Trust Account and any assets that have been purchased or acquired with any such funds).

10.2. Waiver. Each provision in this Agreement may only be waived by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such provision so waived is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

10.3. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt by other than automatic means, whether electronic or otherwise), (b) when sent by email (with no automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification, no mail undeliverable notification or other rejection notice) or (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses or email addresses (or to such other address or email address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other Party pursuant to this provision):

Article 2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

2.1 Resale Shelf Registration Rights.

2.1.1 Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, CayCo shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-1 (the “Form F-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-3 (the “Form F-3 Shelf”, together with the Form F-1 Shelf, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”, as the case may be), if CayCo is then eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf, in each case, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such submission or filing). CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but no later than the earlier of (a) the thirtieth (30 th) calendar day following the filing date hereof if the Commission notifies CayCo that it will “review” the Registration Statement, and (b) the tenth (10 th) Business Day after the date CayCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, and once effective, to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period. In the event CayCo files a Form F-1 Shelf, CayCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf (and any subsequent Resale Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form F-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after CayCo is eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf. CayCo’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.2.

2.1.2 Notification and Distribution of Materials. CayCo shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

2.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1 above, CayCo shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith, as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period. If a Resale Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable (a) cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf Registration Statement), (b) amend such Resale Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf Registration Statement, or (c) prepare and file an additional Resale Shelf Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Shelf”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf is filed pursuant to this Section 2.1.3, CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Shelf to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, and (b) keep such Subsequent Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf shall be on Form F-3 to the extent that CayCo is eligible to use such form, and shall be an automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act if CayCo is a well-known, seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date. CayCo’s obligation under this Section 2.1.3, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.2.

2.1.4 Change in Registration. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs CayCo that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement,

Annex A-77

Table of Contents

CayCo agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form F-3 or such other form available, to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, CayCo shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available, written or oral guidance; comments; requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that CayCo used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, and subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event that CayCo amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, CayCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to CayCo or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such other form available, to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.1.5 Notice of Certain Events. CayCo shall promptly notify the Holders in writing of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement required to be prepared and filed hereunder (or Prospectus relating thereto). CayCo shall promptly notify each Holder, in writing, of the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto, or any post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and of the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

2.1.6 Underwritten Takedown.

(a) If CayCo shall receive a request from the holders of Registrable Securities with an estimated market value of at least US$10 million (the requesting holder(s) shall be referred to herein as the (“Requesting Holder”)) that CayCo effect the Underwritten Takedown of all or any portion of the Requesting Holder’s Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then CayCo shall promptly give notice of such requested, Underwritten Takedown (each such request shall be referred to herein as a (“Demand Takedown”)) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the prospectus or supplement relating to such Demand Takedown to the other Holders, and thereupon shall use its reasonable, best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the offering in such Underwritten Takedown of:

(i) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Holder has requested such offering under Section 2.1.6(a), and

(ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all other Registrable Securities that any holders of Registrable Securities (all such holders, together with the Requesting Holder, the “Selling Holders”) have requested CayCo to offer by request, received by CayCo within seven (7) Business Days after such holders receive CayCo’s notice of the Demand Takedown, all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be offered.

(b) Promptly after the expiration of the seven (7)-Business Day-period referred to in Section 2.1.6(a)(ii), CayCo will notify all Selling Holders of the identities of the other Selling Holders and the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein.

(c) CayCo shall only be required to effectuate no more than three (3) Underwritten Takedowns in any twelve (12)-month period, after giving effect to Section 2.2.1.

Annex A-78

Table of Contents

(d) If the managing underwriter in an Underwritten Takedown advises CayCo and the Requesting Holder(s) that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold, the shares included in such Underwritten Takedown will be reduced by the Registrable Securities held by the Selling Holders (applied on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders).

2.1.7 Selection of Underwriters. The Requesting Holder shall have the right to select an Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with such Underwritten Takedown, which Underwriter or Underwriters selected shall be reasonably acceptable to CayCo. In connection with an Underwritten Takedown, CayCo shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown, including, if necessary, the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

2.1.8 Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2.

2.1.9 Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Requesting Holder wishes to consummate a Block Trade (on either a Commission registered or non-registered basis), then notwithstanding the time periods and piggyback rights otherwise provided herein, such Requesting Holder shall, if it would like the assistance of CayCo, endeavor to give CayCo sufficient advance notice in order to prepare the appropriate documentation for such transaction. Such Requesting Holder, if requesting a Commission registered underwritten Block Trade, (1) shall give CayCo written notice of the transaction and the anticipated launch date of the transaction at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated launch date of the transaction, (2) CayCo shall be required to only notify the other Requesting Holders of the transaction and none of the other Holders, (3) the other Requesting Holders shall have one (1) Business Day prior to the launch of the transaction to determine if they wish to participate in the Block Trade, and (4) CayCo shall include in the Block Trade only shares held by the Requesting Holders. Any Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.1.9 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2, but shall be deemed an Underwritten Takedown, and within the cap on Underwritten Takedowns provided in Section 2.1.6(c). The Requesting Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable, nationally recognized investment banks).

2.2 Demand Registration.

2.2.1 Request for Registration. During such time when there is no effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement, at any time, and from time to time after the Merger Effective Time, if any, (i) the SPAC Holders who hold at least fifteen per cent (15%) of the Registrable Securities held by all SPAC Holders or (ii) Company Holders who hold US$20 million of the Registrable Securities held by all Company Holders, as the case may be, may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form F-1 or any similar, long-form Registration or, if then available, on Form F-3. Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”. Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. CayCo will, within five (5) days of its receipt of the Demand Registration, notify all Holders that are holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each such holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify CayCo within five (5) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from CayCo. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. CayCo shall not be obligated to effect: (a) more than one (1) Demand Registration during any six (6)-month period; or (b) more than six (6) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the Holders, provided that if the Registrable Securities sought to be included in the Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 are not fully included in such Registration for any reason other than solely due to the action or inaction of the Holders, then such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2.1.

Annex A-79

Table of Contents

2.2.2 Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) CayCo has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering.

2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. If the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise CayCo as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering with an estimated market value of at least US$10 million. In such an event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of CayCo, provided that such approval shall not be withheld by CayCo unreasonably.

2.2.4 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises CayCo and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other CayCo Ordinary Shares or other securities which CayCo desires to sell and CayCo Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of CayCo who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the (“Maximum Number of Shares”)), then CayCo shall include in such registration: (i) the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), CayCo Ordinary Shares or other securities that CayCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), CayCo Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other Persons that CayCo is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons, as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2.5 Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to CayCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then either the Demanding Holders shall reimburse CayCo for the costs associated with the withdrawn registration (in which case such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.2) or the withdrawn registration shall count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.2.

2.3 Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If CayCo proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by CayCo for its own account or for shareholders of CayCo for their account (or by CayCo and by shareholders of CayCo) including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1, other

CayCo shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Registration and, if applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of CayCo, and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof.

CayCo (whether on its own determination or as the result of a withdrawal by Persons making a demand pursuant to written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding any such withdrawal, CayCo shall pay all expenses incurred by the holders of Registrable Securities in connection with such Piggy-Back Registration, as provided in Section 3.3.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever CayCo is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Article 2 or effecting an underwritten Block Trade, CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which CayCo then qualifies or which counsel for CayCo shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective for the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that CayCo shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to sixty (60) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any “demand” registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if CayCo shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of CayCo stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to CayCo and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time.

3.1.2 Limitations. CayCo shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding section on more than one occasion for more than sixty (60) total days in aggregate during any twelve (12)-month period.

3.1.3 Copies. CayCo shall, at least ten (10) days prior to filing a Registration Statement or prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration, and such holders’ legal counsel, copies of such Registration Statement as proposed to be filed, each amendment and supplement to such Registration Statement (in each case including all exhibits thereto and documents incorporated by reference therein), the prospectus included in such Registration Statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration or legal counsel for any such holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such holders.

3.1.4 Amendments and Supplements. CayCo shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement or such securities have been withdrawn (the “Effectiveness Period”).

3.1.5 Notification. After the filing of a Registration Statement, CayCo shall promptly, and in no event more than two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this section, notify the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement of such filing, and shall further notify such holders promptly and confirm such advice in writing in all events: (i) when such Registration Statement becomes effective; (ii) when any post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement becomes effective; (iii) the issuance or threatened issuance by the Commission of any stop order (and CayCo shall take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered); and (iv) any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or any prospectus relating thereto or for additional information or of the occurrence of an event requiring the preparation of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of the securities covered by such Registration Statement, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. CayCo shall promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment prepared in

Annex A-82

3.1.6 Securities Laws Compliance. CayCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of CayCo and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that CayCo shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

The representations, warranties and covenants of CayCo in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and the representations, warranties and covenants of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of CayCo.

3.1.8 Comfort Letter. CayCo shall obtain a “cold comfort” letter from CayCo’s independent registered public accountants or auditor in the event of an underwritten offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders.

3.1.9 Opinions. On the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to any Registration, CayCo shall obtain an opinion and an negative assurance letter, dated such date, of one (1) counsel representing CayCo for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders participating in such Registration, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders.

3.1.10 Cooperation. The chief executive officer of CayCo, the chief financial officer of CayCo, the chief accounting officer of CayCo and all other officers and members of the management of CayCo shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential Holders. CayCo shall use its reasonable efforts to make available the chief executive officer of CayCo, the chief financial officer of CayCo and all other officers and members of the management of CayCo to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any underwritten offering.

3.1.12 Earnings Statement. CayCo shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the Securities Act, and make available to its shareholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement covering a period of twelve (12) months, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders); provided that, such agreement shall not be materially more restrictive than any similar agreement entered into by the directors and executive officers of CayCo participating in such underwritten offering; provided, further, that such agreement shall provide that any early release of any Holder from the provisions of the terms of such agreement shall be on a pro rata basis among all Holders.

3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution.

If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require CayCo to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to CayCo for reasons beyond CayCo control, CayCo may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Board to be necessary for such purpose.

Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all participating Holders and CayCo shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

3.4 Information. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested by CayCo, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with CayCo’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities Laws.

Article 4
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

4.1 Indemnification by CayCo. CayCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Holder, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls an Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by CayCo of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to CayCo and relating to action or inaction required of CayCo in connection with any such registration; and CayCo shall promptly reimburse the Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or Action; provided, however, that CayCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to CayCo, in writing, by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holder’s violation of the federal securities Laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling Holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless CayCo, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder and each other Person, if any, who controls another selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to CayCo by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holder’s violation of the federal securities Laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus, and shall reimburse CayCo, its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action. Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Holder in connection with such Registration.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any Action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or Action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or Action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or Action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or Action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to

Annex A-85

Table of Contents

the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any Action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

4.4 Contribution.

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or Action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4.2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or Action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Article 5
RE-SALE RIGHT AND RULE 144 REPORTING

5.1 Re-Sale Right. CayCo shall, at its own cost, use its best efforts to assist the Holder in the sale or disposition of, and to enable the Holder to sell under Rule 144, the maximum number of its Registrable Securities, including, without limitation: (a) the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters to CayCo’s transfer agent to remove legends from the Holder’s share certificates, (b) causing the prompt delivery of appropriate legal opinions from CayCo’s counsel in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Holder’s counsel, (c) if CayCo has depositary receipts listed or traded on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, (i) the prompt delivery of instruction letters to CayCo’s share registrar and depositary agent to convert the Holder’s securities into depositary receipts or vice versa, or similar instruments to be deposited in or transfer out of the Holder’s brokerage account(s), (ii) the prompt payment of all costs and fees related to such depositary facility, including conversion fees and maintenance fees for Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and (iii) taking any and all other steps necessary to facilitate the conversion into depositary receipts or similar instruments (for the avoidance of doubt, CayCo shall not be obligated to pay any American depositary share issuance or transfer fees or expenses and stock transfer taxes in relation to any sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities).

Accordingly, each Sponsor Party covenants and agrees with CayCo that it will not (and will cause its respective controlled affiliates and representatives not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of CayCo, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information known to it to any third party, unless (a) such information becomes known to the public through no fault of such party, (b) disclosure is required by applicable Law (including any filing following the Closing with the Commission pursuant to applicable securities Laws) or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a governmental or regulatory authority; provided that, (other than in the case of any required filing following the Closing with the Commission, or in connection with any routine audit or examination as described below) such Sponsor Party promptly notifies CayCo of such requirement or request, and takes commercially reasonable steps, at the sole cost and expense of CayCo, to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (c) such information was available or becomes available to such Sponsor Party before, on or after the Closing, without restriction, from a source (other than CayCo) without any breach of duty to CayCo or (d) such information was independently developed by such Sponsor Party, its affiliates or its representatives without the use of the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit any Sponsor Party from disclosing Confidential Information (x) to any affiliate or representative of such Sponsor Party, or any limited partner, member or shareholder of any of the foregoing, provided that, such Person shall be bound by an obligation of confidentiality with respect to such Confidential Information, and such Sponsor Party shall be responsible for any breach of this Section 6.3 by any such Person, or (y) if such disclosure is made to a governmental or regulatory authority with jurisdiction over such Sponsor Party in connection

Annex A-88

with a routine audit or examination that is not specifically directed at CayCo or the Confidential Information, provided that, such Sponsor Party shall request that confidential treatment be accorded to any information so disclosed. No Confidential Information shall be deemed to be provided to any Person, including any affiliate of the Sponsor Parties unless such Confidential Information is actually provided to such Person.

6.4 Other Business Opportunities.

6.4.1 The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) the Sponsor (including (a) its affiliates, (b) any portfolio company in which it or any of its affiliates or investment fund affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa), or (c) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members (or other similar, direct or indirect investors) and the director nominees of the foregoing) has the right to, and shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) not to, directly or indirectly engage in and possess interests in other business ventures of every type and description, including those engaged in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or deemed to be competing with CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, on its own account, or in partnership with, or as an employee, officer, director or shareholder of any other Person, with no obligation to offer to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Holder or holder of share capital of CayCo the right to participate therein; (ii) the Sponsor (including (a) its affiliates, (b) any portfolio company in which it or any of its affiliates or investment fund affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (c) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members (or other similar, direct or indirect investors) and the director nominees of the foregoing) may invest in, or provide services to, any Person that directly or indirectly competes with CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) in the event that the Sponsor (including (a) its affiliates, (b) any portfolio company in which it or any of its affiliates or investment fund affiliates have made a debt or equity investment (and vice versa) or (c) any of their respective limited partners, non-managing members (or other similar, direct or indirect investors) or any director nominee of the foregoing, respectively) acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or matter that may be a corporate or other business opportunity for CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, such Person shall have no duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) to communicate or present such corporate opportunity to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Holder or holder of share capital of CayCo, as the case may be, and, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shall not be liable to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Holder or holder of share capital of CayCo (or its respective affiliates) for breach of any duty (fiduciary, contractual or otherwise) by reason of the fact that such Person, directly or indirectly, pursues or acquires such opportunity for itself, directs such opportunity to another Person or does not present such opportunity to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Holder or holder of share capital of CayCo (or its respective affiliates). For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge that this paragraph is intended to disclaim and renounce, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or any Holder, with respect to the matters set forth herein, and this paragraph shall be construed to effect such disclaimer and renunciation to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

6.4.2 Each of the parties hereby, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law:

(a) confirms that none of the Sponsor nor any of its affiliates have any duty to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or to any other Holder other than the specific covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement;

(b) acknowledges and agrees that (a) in the event of any conflict of interest between CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the Sponsor or any of its affiliates (or any director nominee of the foregoing acting in his or her capacity as such), on the other hand, the Sponsor or such applicable affiliates (or any director nominee of the foregoing acting in his or her capacity as a director) may act in its best interest, and (b) none of the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing acting in his or her capacity as a director or observer, shall be obligated (1) to reveal to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries confidential information belonging to or relating to the business of such Person or any of its affiliates, or (2) to recommend or take any action in its capacity as a direct or indirect shareholder or director, as the case may be, that prefers the interest of CayCo or its Subsidiaries over the interest of such Person; and

(c) waives any claim or cause of action against any of the Sponsor and any of its affiliates, and any officer, employee, agent or affiliate of any such Person that may from time to time arise in respect of a breach by any such Person of any duty or obligation disclaimed under this Section 6.4.

Annex A-89

Table of Contents

6.4.3 Each of the parties hereto agrees that the waivers, limitations, acknowledgments and agreements set forth in this Section 6.4 shall not apply to any alleged claim or cause of action against any of the Sponsor, based upon the breach or non-performance by such Person of this Agreement or any other agreement to which such Person is a party.

6.4.4 The provisions of this Section 6.4, to the extent that they restrict the duties and liabilities of any of the Sponsor or its affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Sponsor or any of its affiliates or any director nominee of the foregoing to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

6.5 Indemnification; Exculpation.

6.5.1 As an inducement for the Sponsor to enter into this Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, subject in each case to restrictions under applicable Law, CayCo will, and CayCo will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally indemnify, exonerate and hold the Sponsor and its direct and indirect partners, equityholders, members, managers, affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees, representatives and agents and each of the partners, equityholders, members, affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Sponsor Indemnitees”) free and harmless from and against any and all Actions, liabilities, losses, damages and costs and out-of-pocket expenses in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Sponsor Indemnitees or any of them before or after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), arising out of any Action arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way relating to, (i) any Sponsor’s or its affiliates’ ownership of equity securities of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries or control of or ability to influence CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries (other than any such Indemnified Liabilities (x) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise out of any breach of this Agreement by such Sponsor Indemnitee or its affiliates or other related Persons or, subject to applicable Law, the breach of any fiduciary or other duty or obligation of such Sponsor Indemnitee to its direct or indirect equityholders, creditors or affiliates, (y) to the extent such control or the ability to control CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries derives from such Sponsor’s or its affiliates’ capacity as an officer or director of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or (z) to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are directly caused by such Person’s willful misconduct), (ii) the business, operations, properties, assets or other rights or liabilities of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iii) any services provided prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement by any Sponsor or its affiliates to CayCo any of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that if and to the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unavailable or unenforceable for any reason, CayCo will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to, make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable Law. For the purposes of this Section 6.5, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Sponsor Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Sponsor Indemnitee to CayCo and its Subsidiaries. The rights of any Sponsor Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Law or under the Governing Documents of CayCo or its Subsidiaries.

6.5.2 CayCo will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, reimburse any Sponsor Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any other litigation-related expenses) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or assisting in the defense of any Action for which the Sponsor Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Section 6.5, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Sponsor Indemnitee is a party thereto. CayCo or its Subsidiaries, in the defense of any Action for which a Sponsor Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Section 6.5, may, without the consent of such Sponsor Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, if and only if, it (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such Sponsor Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Action, (ii) does not impose any limitations (equitable or otherwise) on such Sponsor Indemnitee, and (iii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Sponsor Indemnitee, and provided that, the only penalty imposed in connection with such settlement is a monetary payment that will be paid in full by CayCo or its Subsidiaries.

6.5.3 CayCo acknowledges and agrees that CayCo shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its Subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to any Sponsor Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claims (as defined below), pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) CayCo’s Governing Documents, each as amended, (ii) any director indemnification agreement, (iii) this Agreement, any other agreement between CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries and such Sponsor Indemnitee (or its affiliates) pursuant to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is indemnified, (iv) the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Subsidiary of CayCo, and/or (v) the Governing Documents of CayCo’s Subsidiaries ((i) through (v) above, collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery such Sponsor Indemnitee (or its affiliates) may have from any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than CayCo, any of its Subsidiaries or the insurer under and pursuant to any insurance policy of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries) from whom such Sponsor Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification with respect to which, in whole or in part, CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries may also have an indemnification obligation (collectively, the “Indemnitee-Related Entities”). Under no circumstance shall CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery any Sponsor Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of such Sponsor Indemnitee or the obligations of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to any Sponsor Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) CayCo shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by CayCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Sponsor Indemnitee against CayCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and (z) such Sponsor Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each party hereto agree that each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 6.5, entitled to enforce this Section 6.5.3 as though each such Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement. CayCo shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform the terms and obligations of this Section 6.5.3 as though each such Subsidiary were a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.5.3, the term (“Jointly Indemnifiable Claims”) shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any Indemnified Liabilities for which any Sponsor Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification from both (1) CayCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the Indemnification Sources, on the one hand, and (2) any Indemnitee-Related Entity pursuant to any other agreement between any Indemnitee-Related Entity and such Sponsor Indemnitee (or its affiliates), pursuant to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is indemnified, the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Indemnitee-Related Entity and/or the Governing Documents of any Indemnitee-Related Entity, on the other hand.

6.5.4 In no event shall any Sponsor Indemnitee be liable to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries for any act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute willful misconduct or fraud of such Sponsor Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.5.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 6.5, the term Sponsor Indemnitees shall not include any Sponsor or its any of its partners, equityholders, members, affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents or any of the partners, equityholders, members, affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing who is an officer or director of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries in such capacity as officer or director. Such officers and directors are or will be subject to separate indemnification in such capacity through this Agreement and/or the Governing Documents and other agreements and instruments of CayCo and its Subsidiaries (including as contemplated in Section 6.1).

6.5.6 The rights of any Sponsor Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5 will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other section of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Law or under the Governing Documents of CayCo and its Subsidiaries.

No course of dealing between any holder or CayCo and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a holder or CayCo in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any holder or CayCo. No single or partial exercise of any rights or remedies under this Agreement by a party shall operate as a waiver or preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder by such party.

TRANSACTION AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

7.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all agreements entered into pursuant hereto and all certificates and instruments delivered pursuant hereto and thereto) constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements, representations, understandings, negotiations and discussions between the parties, whether oral or written, including without limitation the Prior SPAC Agreement.

7.9 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

7.11 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law, or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity.

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

(i) Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(j) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

NON RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

29. The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognize in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

LIEN ON SHARES

30. The Company shall have a first and paramount Lien on all Shares (whether fully paid- up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other Person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s Lien thereon. The Company’s Lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

31. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a Lien, if a sum in respect of which the Lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) calendar days after notice has been given to the holder of the Shares, or to the Person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

32. To give effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorize any Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under these Articles.

33. The net proceeds of such sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the Lien exists as is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like Lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

34. Subject to these Articles and the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies due and payable but unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by installments. A Person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

Annex A-131

Table of Contents

35. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorizing such call was passed.

36. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

37. If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine, but the Directors may waive payment of the interest in whole or in part.

38. An amount payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and, if it is not paid, all the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

39. The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

40. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance. No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

41. If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Directors may give to the Person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest, which may have accrued. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

42. If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies declared payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

43. A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any Person, the Directors may authorize some Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favor of that Person.

44. A Person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

45. A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the fact as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the Person to whom the Share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

46. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

Subject to these Articles, any Member may transfer all or any of his Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the Board and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or a central depository house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time.

48. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Member until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares.

49. The Board may, in its absolute discretion, and without giving any reason therefor, refuse to register a transfer of any Share (not being a fully paid up share) to a Person of whom it does not approve, or any Share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists.

50. The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares which is not fully paid up or on which the Company has a Lien. The Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Share unless:

(a). the instrument of transfer is lodged with the Company, accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

(b). the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one Class of Shares;

(c). the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

(d). in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

(e). a fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the Board of Directors may from time to time require, is paid to the Company in respect thereof.

51. The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required by the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, be suspended and the Register of Members closed at such times and for such periods as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the Register of Members closed for more than thirty (30) calendar days in any calendar year.

52. All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any Shares, they shall within two calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged with the Company send notice of the refusal to each of the transferor and the transferee.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

53. If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors where he was a joint holder, and his legal Personal representatives where he was a sole holder, shall be the only Persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his interest. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, which had been jointly held by him. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, elect either to become the

Annex A-133

Table of Contents

holder of the Share or to have some Person nominated by him as the transferee. If he elects to become the holder, he shall give notice to the Company to that effect, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of that Member, as the case may be.

54. If the Person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

55. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share. However, he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some other Person nominated by him become the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of such Member or in any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) calendar days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

AMENDMENTS OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES AND ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

56. Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution:

(a). increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

(b). consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c). divide its Shares into several Classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing Shares attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which in the absence of any such determination by the Company in general meeting, as the Directors may determine provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, where a Class of Shares has been authorized by the Company, no resolution of the Company in general meeting is required for the issuance of Shares of that Class and the Directors may issue Shares of that Class and determine such rights, privileges, conditions or restrictions attaching thereto as aforesaid, and further provided that where the Company issues Shares which do not carry voting rights, the words “non-voting” shall appear in the designation of such Shares and where the equity capital includes Shares with different voting rights, the designation of each Class of Shares, other than those with the most favourable voting rights, must include the words “restricted voting” or “limited voting”;

(d). subdivide its Shares, or any of them, into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value (subject, nevertheless, to the Law), and may by such resolution determine that, as between the holders of the Shares resulting from such sub-division, one or more of the Shares may have any such preferred, deferred or other rights or be subject to any such restrictions as compared with the other or others as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new Shares; and

(e). cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled or, in the case of Shares, without par value, diminish the number of shares into which its capital is divided.

Annex A-134

Table of Contents

57. All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of these Articles with reference to the payment of calls, Liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital. The Board may settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation and division under the preceding Article and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may arrange for the sale of the Shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares representing fractions to their purchaser or resolve that such net proceeds be paid to the Company for the Company’s benefit. Such purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor will his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

58. Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Special Resolution:

(a). change its name;

(b). alter, amend or add to these Articles;

(c). alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and

(d). reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund in any manner authorized by Law.

SHARE RIGHTS

59. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, Designated Stock Exchange Rules, the Memorandum and these Articles and to any special rights conferred on the holders of any Shares or Class of Shares, any Share in the Company (whether forming part of the present capital or not) may be issued with or have attached thereto such rights or restrictions whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise as the Board may determine, including without limitation on terms that they may be, or at the option of the Company or the holder are, liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital, as the Board may deem fit.

60. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law and these Articles, any preferred shares may be issued or converted into Shares that, at a determinable date or at the option of the Company or the holder if so authorized by the Memorandum, are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Company before the issue or conversion may by Special Resolution of the Members determine. Where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable share, purchases not made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price as may from time to time be determined by the Board, either generally or with regard to specific purchases. If purchases are by tender, tenders shall comply with applicable Law.

61. The rights and restrictions attaching to the Ordinary Shares are as follows:

(a). Income.

Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to such dividends as the Directors may in their absolute discretion lawfully declare from time to time.

(b). Capital

Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to a return of capital on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company (other than on a conversion, redemption or purchase of Shares, or an equity financing or series of financings that do not constitute the sale of all or substantially all of the Shares of the Company).

(c). Attendance at General Meetings and Voting

Holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of the Company. Each Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company.

VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES

62. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different Classes, the rights attached to any Class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied, modified or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that Class, or with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the Shares of that Class.

63. The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply to every Class meeting of the holders of one Class of Shares except that the necessary quorum shall be one Person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third (1/3) of the issued Shares of the Class and that any holder of Shares of the Class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

64. Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to the Shares of that Class or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company, and the rights of the holders of Shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

REGISTERED OFFICE

65. Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its Registered Office.

GENERAL MEETINGS

66. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

67. The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to hold a general meeting in each calendar year as its annual general meeting and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

68. The Chairman or a majority of the Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a Member’s requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

69. A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members of the Company holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-third (1/3) of all votes attaching to all issued and outstanding Shares entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company.

70. The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

71. If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of a Members’ requisition, or if the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the deposit of such requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one (21) calendar days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one- half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three calendar months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) calendar days.

72. A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

75. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Two or more holders of Shares which carry not less than one-half of all votes attaching to Shares in issue and entitled to vote at such genral meeting, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporate or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative, shall constitute a quorum; unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by a duly authorized representative or proxy.

76. A Person may participate at a general meeting by telephone or other similar communications equipment by means of which all the Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a Person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in Person at that meeting.

77. A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations, signed by their duly authorized representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

78. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time or such other place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Members constituting a majority of the outstanding share capital of the Company (calculated on an as- converted basis) shall be a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was called, provided, that, such present Members shall only discuss and/or approve the matters as described in the meeting notice delivered in accordance with these Articles.

79. The chairman, if any, of the Board of Directors shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

80. If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

Annex A-137

Table of Contents

81. The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty calendar days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice.

82. A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on the vote of the requisite majority pursuant to a poll of the Members. Unless otherwise required by the Statute or these Articles, such requisite majority shall be a simple majority of votes that are able to be cast.

83. The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Members in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason, upon notice in writing to Members. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine. Notice of the business to be transacted at such postponed general meeting shall not be required. If a general meeting is postponed in accordance with this Article, the appointment of a proxy will be valid if it is received as required by these Articles not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the postponed meeting.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

84. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Share, every Member present in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy) shall, at a general meeting of the Company, have one (1) vote for each Ordinary Share of which he is the holder.

85. In the case of joint holders of record the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

86. Shares carrying the right to vote that are held by a Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may be voted by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other Person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other Person may vote by proxy.

87. No Person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of a Class of Shares unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

88. No objection shall be raised to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

89. Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy. A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. All resolutions shall be determined by poll and not on a show of hands. An instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may approve.

90. A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting.

The chairm an may in any event at his discretion direct that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted shall be invalid.

93. The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to confer authority to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

94. Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

CORPORATIONS ACTING BY REPRESENTATIVES

95. Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member or a Director may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorize such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any meeting of holders of a Class or of the Directors or of a committee of Directors, and the Person so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as that corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member or Director.

SHARE CERTIFICATES

17. A Member shall only be entitled to a share certificate if the Directors resolve that share certificates shall be issued. Share certificates representing Shares, if any, shall be in such form as the Directors may determine. Share certificates shall be signed by one or more Directors or other Person authorized by the Directors. The Directors may authorize certificates to be issued with the authorized signature(s) affixed by mechanical process. All certificates for Shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified and shall specify the Shares to which they relate. All certificates surrendered to the Company for transfer shall be cancelled and, subject to these Articles, no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate representing a like number of relevant Shares shall have been surrendered and cancelled.

18. No certificate shall be issued representing Shares of more than one Class.

19. The Company shall not be bound to issue more than one certificate for Shares held jointly by more than one Person and delivery of a certificate to one joint holder shall be a sufficient delivery to all of them. In the event that Shares are held jointly by several Persons, any request may be made by any one of the joint holders and if so made shall be binding on all of the joint holders.

20. Every share certificate of the Company shall bear legends required under the applicable Laws, including the Securities Act.

21. Share certificates shall be issued within the relevant time limit as prescribed by the Law or as the Designated Stock Exchange may from time to time determine, whichever is the shorter, after allotment or, except in the case of a transfer which the Company is for the time being entitled to refuse to register and does not register, after lodgment of a transfer with the Company.

22. (1) Upon every transfer of Shares the certificate held by the transferor shall be given up to be cancelled, and shall forthwith be cancelled accordingly, and a new certificate shall be issued to the transferee in respect of the Shares transferred to him at such fee as is provided in paragraph (2) of this Article. If any of the Shares included in the certificate so given up shall be retained by the transferor a new certificate for the balance shall be issued to him at the aforesaid fee payable by the transferor to the Company in respect thereof.

(2) The fee referred to in paragraph (1) above shall be an amount not exceeding the relevant maximum amount as the Designated Stock Exchange may from time to time determine provided that the Board may at any time determine a lower amount for such fee.

23. If a share certificate shall be damaged or defaced or alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, a new certificate representing the same Shares may be issued to the relevant Member upon request, subject to delivery up of the old certificate or (if alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed) compliance with such conditions as to evidence and indemnity and the payment of out-of-pocket expenses of the Company in connection with the request as the Directors may think fit.

REDEMPTION

24. Subject to the provisions of the Statute and these Articles, the Company may:

(a). issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of Shares shall be effected in such manner and upon such terms as may be determined, before the issue of such Shares, by the Board;

(b). purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and upon such terms as have been approved by the Board, or are otherwise authorized by these Articles; and

(c). make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

25. The purchase of any Share shall not oblige the Company to purchase any other Share other than as may be required pursuant to applicable Law and any other contractual obligations of the Company.

Annex B-10

Table of Contents

26. The holder of the Shares being purchased shall be bound to deliver up to the Company the certificate(s) (if any) thereof for cancellation and thereupon the Company shall pay to him the purchase or redemption monies or consideration in respect thereof.

27. The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share.

TREASURY SHARES

28. The Directors may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a treasury share. The Directors may determine to cancel a treasury share or transfer a treasury share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

NON RECOGNITION OF TRUSTS

29. The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognize in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by these Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the registered holder.

LIEN ON SHARES

30. The Company shall have a first and paramount Lien on all Shares (whether fully paid- up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other Person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s Lien thereon. The Company’s Lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

31. The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a Lien, if a sum in respect of which the Lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen (14) calendar days after notice has been given to the holder of the Shares, or to the Person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

32. To give effect to any such sale, the Directors may authorize any Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under these Articles.

33. The net proceeds of such sale after deduction of expenses, fees and commission incurred by the Company shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the Lien exists as is presently payable and any residue shall (subject to a like Lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the Person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

CALLS ON SHARES

34. Subject to these Articles and the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may from time to time make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies due and payable but unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by installments. A Person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

Annex B-11

Table of Contents

35. A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorizing such call was passed.

36. The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

37. If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine, but the Directors may waive payment of the interest in whole or in part.

38. An amount payable in respect of a Share on allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and, if it is not paid, all the provisions of these Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

39. The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

40. The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance. No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a dividend declared in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

41. If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the Directors may give to the Person from whom it is due not less than fourteen (14) calendar days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest, which may have accrued. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with, the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

42. If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all dividends or other monies declared payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

43. A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any Person, the Directors may authorize some Person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favor of that Person.

44. A Person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

45. A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director of the Company that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the fact as against all Persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the Person to whom the Share is disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

46. The provisions of these Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non-payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

Annex B-12

Table of Contents

TRANSFER OF SHARES

47. Subject to these Articles, any Member may transfer all or any of his Shares by an instrument of transfer in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the Designated Stock Exchange or in any other form approved by the Board and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a clearing house or a central depository house or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Board may approve from time to time.

48. The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, approve and be executed by or on behalf of the transferor and if in respect of a nil or partly paid up Share, or if so required by the Directors, shall also be executed on behalf of the transferee and shall be accompanied by the certificate (if any) of the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Directors may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer. The transferor shall be deemed to remain a Member until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares.

49. The Board may, in its absolute discretion, and without giving any reason therefor, refuse to register a transfer of any Share (not being a fully paid up share) to a Person of whom it does not approve, or any Share issued under any share incentive scheme for employees upon which a restriction on transfer imposed thereby still subsists.

50. The Directors may in their absolute discretion decline to register any transfer of Shares which is not fully paid up or on which the Company has a Lien. The Directors may also decline to register any transfer of any Share unless:

(a). the instrument of transfer is lodged with the Company, accompanied by the certificate for the Shares to which it relates and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer;

(b). the instrument of transfer is in respect of only one Class of Shares;

(c). the instrument of transfer is properly stamped, if required;

(d). in the case of a transfer to joint holders, the number of joint holders to whom the Share is to be transferred does not exceed four; and

(e). a fee of such maximum sum as the Designated Stock Exchange may determine to be payable, or such lesser sum as the Board of Directors may from time to time require, is paid to the Company in respect thereof.

51. The registration of transfers may, after compliance with any notice required by the Designated Stock Exchange Rules, be suspended and the Register of Members closed at such times and for such periods as the Directors may, in their absolute discretion, from time to time determine, provided always that such registration of transfer shall not be suspended nor the Register of Members closed for more than thirty (30) calendar days in any calendar year.

52. All instruments of transfer that are registered shall be retained by the Company. If the Directors refuse to register a transfer of any Shares, they shall within two calendar months after the date on which the instrument of transfer was lodged with the Company send notice of the refusal to each of the transferor and the transferee.

TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

53. If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors where he was a joint holder, and his legal Personal representatives where he was a sole holder, shall be the only Persons recognized by the Company as having any title to his interest. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, which had been jointly held by him. Any Person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may from time to time be required by the Directors, elect either to become the holder of the Share or to have some Person nominated by him as the transferee. If he elects to become the

Annex B-13

Table of Contents

holder, he shall give notice to the Company to that effect, but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by that Member before the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of that Member, as the case may be.

54. If the Person so becoming entitled shall elect to be registered himself as holder, he shall deliver or send to the Company a notice in writing signed by him stating that he so elects.

55. A Person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same dividends and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the registered holder of the Share. However, he shall not, before being registered as a Member in respect of the Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such Person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some other Person nominated by him become the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of such Member or in any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety (90) calendar days, the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all dividends, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

AMENDMENTS OF MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES AND ALTERATION OF CAPITAL

56. Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Ordinary Resolution:

(a). increase the share capital by such sum, to be divided into Shares of such Classes and amount, as the resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

(b). consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c). divide its Shares into several Classes and without prejudice to any special rights previously conferred on the holders of existing Shares attach thereto respectively any preferential, deferred, qualified or special rights, privileges, conditions or such restrictions which in the absence of any such determination by the Company in general meeting, as the Directors may determine provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, where a Class of Shares has been authorized by the Company, no resolution of the Company in general meeting is required for the issuance of Shares of that Class and the Directors may issue Shares of that Class and determine such rights, privileges, conditions or restrictions attaching thereto as aforesaid, and further provided that where the Company issues Shares which do not carry voting rights, the words “non-voting” shall appear in the designation of such Shares and where the equity capital includes Shares with different voting rights, the designation of each Class of Shares, other than those with the most favourable voting rights, must include the words “restricted voting” or “limited voting”;

(d). subdivide its Shares, or any of them, into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value (subject, nevertheless, to the Law), and may by such resolution determine that, as between the holders of the Shares resulting from such sub-division, one or more of the Shares may have any such preferred, deferred or other rights or be subject to any such restrictions as compared with the other or others as the Company has power to attach to unissued or new Shares; and

(e). cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any Person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled or, in the case of Shares, without par value, diminish the number of shares into which its capital is divided.

Annex B-14

Table of Contents

57. All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of these Articles with reference to the payment of calls, Liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital. The Board may settle as it considers expedient any difficulty which arises in relation to any consolidation and division under the preceding Article and in particular but without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing may arrange for the sale of the Shares representing fractions and the distribution of the net proceeds of sale (after deduction of the expenses of such sale) in due proportion amongst the Members who would have been entitled to the fractions, and for this purpose the Board may authorise some Person to transfer the Shares representing fractions to their purchaser or resolve that such net proceeds be paid to the Company for the Company’s benefit. Such purchaser will not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money nor will his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale.

58. Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of these Articles, the Company may from time to time by Special Resolution:

(a). change its name;

(b). alter, amend or add to these Articles;

(c). alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and

(d). reduce its share capital and any capital redemption reserve fund in any manner authorized by Law.

SHARE RIGHTS

59. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law, Designated Stock Exchange Rules, the Memorandum and these Articles and to any special rights conferred on the holders of any Shares or Class of Shares, any Share in the Company (whether forming part of the present capital or not) may be issued with or have attached thereto such rights or restrictions whether in regard to dividend, voting, return of capital or otherwise as the Board may determine, including without limitation on terms that they may be, or at the option of the Company or the holder are, liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner, including out of capital, as the Board may deem fit.

60. Subject to the provisions of applicable Law and these Articles, any preferred shares may be issued or converted into Shares that, at a determinable date or at the option of the Company or the holder if so authorized by the Memorandum, are liable to be redeemed on such terms and in such manner as the Company before the issue or conversion may by Special Resolution of the Members determine. Where the Company purchases for redemption a redeemable share, purchases not made through the market or by tender shall be limited to a maximum price as may from time to time be determined by the Board, either generally or with regard to specific purchases. If purchases are by tender, tenders shall comply with applicable Law.

61. The rights and restrictions attaching to the Ordinary Shares are as follows:

(a). Income.

Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to such dividends as the Directors may in their absolute discretion lawfully declare from time to time.

(b). Capital

Holders of Ordinary Shares shall be entitled to a return of capital on liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company (other than on a conversion, redemption or purchase of Shares, or an equity financing or series of financings that do not constitute the sale of all or substantially all of the Shares of the Company).

(c). Attendance at General Meetings and Voting

Holders of Ordinary Shares have the right to receive notice of, attend, speak and vote at general meetings of the Company. Each Ordinary Share shall be entitled to one (1) vote on all matters subject to vote at general meetings of the Company.

Annex B-15

Table of Contents

VARIATION OF RIGHTS OF SHARES

62. Subject to the provisions of these Articles, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different Classes, the rights attached to any Class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied, modified or abrogated with the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that Class, or with the sanction of an Ordinary Resolution passed at a general meeting of the holders of the Shares of that Class.

63. The provisions of these Articles relating to general meetings shall apply to every Class meeting of the holders of one Class of Shares except that the necessary quorum shall be one Person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third (1/3) of the issued Shares of the Class and that any holder of Shares of the Class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

64. Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any Class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that Class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu with or subsequent to the Shares of that Class or the redemption or purchase of any Shares of any Class by the Company, and the rights of the holders of Shares shall not be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of Shares with preferred or other rights including, without limitation, the creation of Shares with enhanced or weighted voting rights.

REGISTERED OFFICE

65. Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its Registered Office.

GENERAL MEETINGS

66. All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

67. The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to hold a general meeting in each calendar year as its annual general meeting and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. The annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

68. The Chairman or a majority of the Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a Member’s requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

69. A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members of the Company holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than one-third (1/3) of all votes attaching to all issued and outstanding Shares entitled to vote at general meetings of the Company.

70. The requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

71. If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of a Members’ requisition, or if the Directors do not within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of the deposit of such requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one (21) calendar days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one- half of the total voting rights of all of them, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall not be held after the expiration of three calendar months after the expiration of the said twenty-one (21) calendar days.

72. A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

Annex B-16

Table of Contents

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

73. At least fifteen (15) calendar days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall be exclusive of the day on which it is given or deemed to be given and of the day for which it is given and shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this regulation has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a). in the case of an annual general meeting, by all the Members (or their proxies) entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

74. The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non-receipt of notice of a meeting by, any Person entitled to receive notice shall not invalidate the proceedings at any meeting.

PROCEEDINGS AT GENERAL MEETINGS

75. No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present at the time when the meeting proceeds to business. Two or more holders of Shares which carry not less than one-half of all votes attaching to Shares in issue and entitled to vote at such genral meeting, present in person or by proxy or, if a corporate or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative, shall constitute a quorum; unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by a duly authorized representative or proxy.

76. A Person may participate at a general meeting by telephone or other similar communications equipment by means of which all the Persons participating in such meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a Person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in Person at that meeting.

77. A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations, signed by their duly authorized representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

78. If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and place or to such other day, time or such other place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting, the Members constituting a majority of the outstanding share capital of the Company (calculated on an as- converted basis) shall be a quorum and may transact the business for which the meeting was called, provided, that, such present Members shall only discuss and/or approve the matters as described in the meeting notice delivered in accordance with these Articles.

79. The chairman, if any, of the Board of Directors shall preside as chairman at every general meeting of the Company, or if there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for the holding of the meeting, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

80. If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen (15) minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

Annex B-17

Table of Contents

81. The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting), adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place. When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty calendar days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice.

82. A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on the vote of the requisite majority pursuant to a poll of the Members. Unless otherwise required by the Statute or these Articles, such requisite majority shall be a simple majority of votes that are able to be cast.

83. The Directors may cancel or postpone any duly convened general meeting at any time prior to such meeting, except for general meetings requisitioned by the Members in accordance with these Articles, for any reason or for no reason, upon notice in writing to Members. A postponement may be for a stated period of any length or indefinitely as the Directors may determine. Notice of the business to be transacted at such postponed general meeting shall not be required. If a general meeting is postponed in accordance with this Article, the appointment of a proxy will be valid if it is received as required by these Articles not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the postponed meeting.

VOTES OF MEMBERS

84. Subject to any rights and restrictions for the time being attached to any Share, every Member present in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy) shall, at a general meeting of the Company, have one (1) vote for each Ordinary Share of which he is the holder.

85. In the case of joint holders of record the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, if a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorized representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

86. Shares carrying the right to vote that are held by a Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may be voted by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other Person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other Person may vote by proxy.

87. No Person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting or at any separate meeting of the holders of a Class of Shares unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

89. Votes may be cast either personally or by proxy. A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. All resolutions shall be determined by poll and not on a show of hands. An instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form or such other form as the Directors may approve.

90. A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting.

3.11 Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Sponsor Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Sponsor Agreement. This Sponsor Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Sponsor Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Sponsor Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

Article II
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Shareholder. Each Shareholder represents and warrants as of the date hereof to SPAC, the Company and CayCo (solely with respect to itself, himself or herself and not with respect to any other Shareholder) as follows:

(a) Organization; Due Authorization. If such Shareholder is not an individual, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, formed, organized or constituted, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby are within such Shareholder’s corporate, limited liability company or organizational powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, limited liability company or organizational actions on the part of such Shareholder. If such Shareholder is an individual, such Shareholder has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his or her obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by such Shareholder and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties to this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of such Shareholder, enforceable against such Shareholder in accordance with the terms hereof (except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies). If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the Person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement on behalf of the applicable Shareholder.

(b) Ownership. Such Shareholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in the Securities Act) of, and has good title to, all of such Shareholder’s Subject Shares as indicated opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule I attached hereto, and there exist no Liens or any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Subject Shares (other than transfer restrictions under the Securities Act)) affecting any such Subject Shares, other than Liens pursuant to (i) this Agreement, (ii) the Company’s Governing Documents’ or CayCo’s Governing Documents, (iii) the Business Combination Agreement, or (iv) any applicable securities Laws. Such Shareholder’s Subject Shares as indicated opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule I attached hereto are the only Securities in the Company or CayCo, as applicable, owned of record or beneficially by such Shareholder on the date of this Agreement, and none of such Shareholder’s Subject Shares are subject to any proxy, voting trust or other agreement or arrangement with respect to the voting of such Subject Shares. Other than as set forth opposite such Shareholder’s name on Schedule I, such Shareholder does not hold or own any rights to acquire (directly or indirectly) any Securities.

(c) No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Shareholder does not, and the performance by such Shareholder of his, her or its obligations hereunder will not, (i) if such Shareholder is not an individual, conflict with or result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Shareholder, (ii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any Person (including under any Contract binding upon such Shareholder or such Shareholder’s Subject Shares), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Shareholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of the Group, to the extent the creation of such Lien would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Shareholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Litigation. There are no Actions or other proceedings at law or in equity initiated or pending against such Shareholder, or to the knowledge of such Shareholder threatened against such Shareholder, before (or, in the case of threatened Actions, that would be before) any arbitrator or any Governmental Authority, which in any manner challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Shareholder of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement. There is no outstanding Governmental Order imposed upon such Shareholder, or if applicable, or any of the Shareholder’s Subsidiaries.

(e) Adequate Information. Such Shareholder is a sophisticated shareholder and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of SPAC, the Company and CayCo to make an informed decision regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Company Restructuring Documents, and has independently and without reliance upon SPAC, the Company or CayCo and based on such information as such Shareholder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Such Shareholder acknowledges that SPAC, the Company and CayCo have not made and

Annex D-4

Table of Contents

do not make any representation or warranty to such Shareholder, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such Shareholder acknowledges that the agreements contained herein with respect to the Subject Shares held by such Shareholder are irrevocable.

(f) Brokerage Fees. Except as described on Section 5.16 of the Company Disclosure Letter, no broker, finder, investment banker or other Person is entitled to any brokerage fee, finders’ fee or other commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the Company Restructuring Documents based upon arrangements made by such Shareholder, for which the Company, CayCo or any of their respective Affiliates may become liable.

(g) Acknowledgment. Such Shareholder understands and acknowledges that each of SPAC, the Company and CayCo is entering into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon such Shareholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of such Shareholder contained herein.

This Agreement and all of its provisions shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (a) the Expiration Time, (b) as to each Shareholder, the written agreement of SPAC, the Company (upon its incorporation), CayCo and such Shareholder. Upon such termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties under this Agreement will terminate, without any liability or other obligation on the part of any party hereto to any Person in respect hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, and no party hereto shall have any claim against another (and no person shall have any rights against such party), whether under contract, tort or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve any party hereto from liability arising in respect of any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

3.2 Amendment. Subject to applicable Law, this Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated, except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by SPAC, the Company, CayCo and the Shareholders.

3.3 Waiver 1.1. Each provision in this Agreement may only be waived by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such provision so waived is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power o r rem edy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (a) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt by other than automatic means, whether electronic or otherwise), (b) when sent by email (with no automated reply, such as an out-of-office notification, no mail undeliverable notification or other rejection notice), or (c) one (1) Business Day following the day sent by an internationally recognized overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case, at the following addresses or email addresses (or to such other address or email address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

3.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof that would subject such matter to the Laws of another jurisdiction. All legal proceedings arising under the Laws of the State of New York out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York; provided, however, that if such federal court does not have jurisdiction over such legal proceedings, they shall be heard and determined exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Commercial Division, sitting in the Borough of Manhattan of The City of New York (and any appellate court therefrom). Each of the parties hereto agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such legal proceedings in the manner provided in Section 3.4 or in such other manner as may be permitted by applicable Laws, will be valid and sufficient service thereof.

Annex D-6

Table of Contents

exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for the purpose of any legal proceeding arising under the Laws of the State of New York out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (ii) irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any legal proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for any reason other than the failure to serve process in accordance with this Section 3.7.

3.8 Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE PARTIES AND ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY MAY DO SO ONLY IF HE, SHE OR IT IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY ON ANY CLAIMS OR COUNTERCLAIMS ASSERTED IN ANY LEGAL DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS, AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

3.9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any other documents and instruments and agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated or referred to herein, constitute the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties hereto. No representations, warranties, covenants, understandings, agreements, oral or otherwise, exist between such parties except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

3.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

3.11 Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

3.12 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law, or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

(g) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the parties is expressly canceled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any of the rights, remedies or obligations of CayCo or any of the Holders under any other agreement between any of the Holders and CayCo, and nothing in any other agreement, certificate or instrument shall limit any of the rights, remedies or obligations of any of the Holders or CayCo under this Agreement.

(h) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties further agree that if any provision contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect under the Laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving effect to the intent of the parties.

(i) Headings; Counterparts. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(j) Interpretation. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement. In this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires: (i) any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa; (ii) “including” (and with correlative meaning “include”) means including without limiting the generality of any description preceding or succeeding such term and shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereto,” and “hereby” and other words of similar import in this Agreement shall be deemed in each case to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or other subdivision of this Agreement; and (iv) the term “or” means “and/or”. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. Consequently, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

(k) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach or threaten to breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that (i) there is adequate remedy at law; or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Any party seeking an order or injunction to prevent breaches or threatened breaches and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Annex E-5

This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the subject matter hereof may only be made against the parties hereto and no past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, shareholder, agent, attorney or representative of any party hereto or any past, present or future Affiliate, director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, manager, partner, stockholder, agent, attorney or representative of any of the foregoing (each, a “Non-Recourse Party”) shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the parties to this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the rights of any party against the other parties hereto, in no event shall any party or any of its Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Non-Recourse Party.

(m) Several Liability. The liability of any Holder hereunder is several (and not joint). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in no event will any Holder be liable for any other Holder’s breach of such other Holder’s obligations under this Agreement.

REGISTRATION RIGHTS.

2.1 Resale Shelf Registration Rights.

2.1.1 Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities. Within thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, CayCo shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission, a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-1 (the “Form F-1 Shelf”) or a Registration Statement for a Shelf Registration on Form F-3 (the “Form F-3 Shelf”, together with the Form F-1 Shelf, the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”, as the case may be), if CayCo is then eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf, in each case, for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such submission or filing). CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing, but no later than the earlier of (a) the thirtieth (30 th) calendar day following the filing date hereof if the Commission notifies CayCo that it will “review” the Registration Statement, and (b) the tenth (10 th) Business Day after the date CayCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, and once effective, to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act at all times until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period. In the event CayCo files a Form F-1 Shelf, CayCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to convert the Form F-1 Shelf (and any subsequent Resale Shelf Registration Statement) to a Form F-3 Shelf as soon as practicable after CayCo is eligible to use a Form F-3 Shelf. CayCo’s obligation under this Section 2.1.1, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.2.

2.1.2 Notification and Distribution of Materials. CayCo shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

2.1.3 Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1 above, CayCo shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith, as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act, with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities during the Effectiveness Period. If a Resale Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities are still outstanding, CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable (a) cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to again become effective under the Securities Act (including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf

Annex F-6

Table of Contents

Registration Statement), (b) amend such Resale Shelf Registration Statement in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf Registration Statement, or (c) prepare and file an additional Resale Shelf Registration Statement (a “Subsequent Shelf”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities (determined as of two (2) Business Days prior to such filing), and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, any Holder named therein. If a Subsequent Shelf is filed pursuant to this Section 2.1.3, CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause such Subsequent Shelf to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof, and (b) keep such Subsequent Shelf continuously effective, available for use and in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act until such time as there are no longer any Registrable Securities. Any such Subsequent Shelf shall be on Form F-3 to the extent that CayCo is eligible to use such form, and shall be an automatic shelf registration statement as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act if CayCo is a well-known, seasoned issuer as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act, at the most recent applicable eligibility determination date. CayCo’s obligation under this Section 2.1.3, shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be subject to Section 3.2.

2.1.4 Change in Registration. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.1, in the event the Commission informs CayCo that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, CayCo agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission, on Form F-3 or such other form available, to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, CayCo shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available, written or oral guidance; comments; requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”), including without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that CayCo used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, and subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event that CayCo amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, CayCo will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to CayCo or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form F-3 or such other form available, to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.1.5 Notice of Certain Events. CayCo shall promptly notify the Holders in writing of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to, or additional information in connection with, the Resale Shelf Registration Statement required to be prepared and filed hereunder (or Prospectus relating thereto). CayCo shall promptly notify each Holder, in writing, of the filing of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or any Prospectus, amendment or supplement related thereto, or any post-effective amendment to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, and of the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment.

2.1.6 Underwritten Takedown.

(a) If CayCo shall receive a request from the holders of Registrable Securities with an estimated market value of at least US$10 million (the requesting holder(s) shall be referred to herein as the (“Requesting Holder”)) that CayCo effect the Underwritten Takedown of all or any portion of the Requesting Holder’s Registrable Securities, and specifying the intended method of disposition thereof, then CayCo shall promptly give notice of such requested, Underwritten Takedown (each such request shall be referred to herein as a (“Demand

Annex F-7

Table of Contents

Takedown”)) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the prospectus or supplement relating to such Demand Takedown to the other Holders, and thereupon shall use its reasonable, best efforts to effect, as expeditiously as possible, the offering in such Underwritten Takedown of:

(i) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all Registrable Securities for which the Requesting Holder has requested such offering under Section 2.1.6(a), and

(ii) subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 2.2.4, all other Registrable Securities that any holders of Registrable Securities (all such holders, together with the Requesting Holder, the “Selling Holders”) have requested CayCo to offer by request, received by CayCo within seven (7) Business Days after such holders receive CayCo’s notice of the Demand Takedown, all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be offered.

(b) Promptly after the expiration of the seven (7)-Business Day-period referred to in Section 2.1.6(a)(ii), CayCo will notify all Selling Holders of the identities of the other Selling Holders and the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included therein.

(c) CayCo shall only be required to effectuate no more than three (3) Underwritten Takedowns in any twelve (12)-month period, after giving effect to Section 2.2.1.

(d) If the managing underwriter in an Underwritten Takedown advises CayCo and the Requesting Holder(s) that, in its view, the number of shares of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such underwritten offering exceeds the largest number of shares that can be sold without having an adverse effect on such offering, including the price at which such shares can be sold, the shares included in such Underwritten Takedown will be reduced by the Registrable Securities held by the Selling Holders (applied on a pro rata basis, based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first, based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders).

2.1.7 Selection of Underwriters. The Requesting Holder shall have the right to select an Underwriter or Underwriters in connection with such Underwritten Takedown, which Underwriter or Underwriters selected shall be reasonably acceptable to CayCo. In connection with an Underwritten Takedown, CayCo shall enter into customary agreements (including an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such Underwritten Takedown, including, if necessary, the engagement of a “qualified independent underwriter” in connection with the qualification of the underwriting arrangements with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.

2.1.8 Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 2.1 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2.

2.1.9 Block Trades. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if a Requesting Holder wishes to consummate a Block Trade (on either a Commission registered or non-registered basis), then notwithstanding the time periods and piggyback rights otherwise provided herein, such Requesting Holder shall, if it would like the assistance of CayCo, endeavor to give CayCo sufficient advance notice in order to prepare the appropriate documentation for such transaction. Such Requesting Holder, if requesting a Commission registered underwritten Block Trade, (1) shall give CayCo written notice of the transaction and the anticipated launch date of the transaction at least two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated launch date of the transaction, (2) CayCo shall be required to only notify the other Requesting Holders of the transaction and none of the other Holders, (3) the other Requesting Holders shall have one (1) Business Day prior to the launch of the transaction to determine if they wish to participate in the Block Trade, and (4) CayCo shall include in the Block Trade only shares held by the Requesting Holders. Any Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.1.9 shall not be counted as Demand Registrations effected pursuant to Section 2.2, but shall be deemed an Underwritten Takedown, and within the cap on Underwritten Takedowns provided in Section 2.1.6(c). The Requesting Holder in a Block Trade shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such Block Trade (which shall consist of one or more reputable, nationally recognized investment banks).

2.2 Demand Registration.

2.2.1 Request for Registration. During such time when there is no effective Resale Shelf Registration Statement, at any time, and from time to time after the Merger Effective Time, if any, (i) the SPAC Holders who hold at least fifteen per cent (15%) of the Registrable Securities held by all SPAC Holders or (ii) Company Holders who hold US$20 million of the Registrable Securities held by all Company Holders, as the case may be, may make a written demand for Registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form F-1 or any similar, long-form Registration or, if then available, on Form F-3. Each registration requested pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 is referred to herein as a “Demand Registration”. Any demand for a Demand Registration shall specify the number of shares of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. CayCo will, within five (5) days of its receipt of the Demand Registration, notify all Holders that are holders of Registrable Securities of the demand, and each such holder of Registrable Securities who wishes to include all or a portion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the Demand Registration (each such holder including shares of Registrable Securities in such registration, a “Demanding Holder”) shall so notify CayCo within five (5) days after the receipt by the holder of the notice from CayCo. Upon any such request, the Demanding Holders shall be entitled to have their Registrable Securities included in the Demand Registration, subject to Section 2.2.4 and the provisos set forth in Section 3.1.1. CayCo shall not be obligated to effect: (a) more than one (1) Demand Registration during any s ix (6)-month period; or (b) more than six (6) Underwritten Demand Registrations in respect of all Registrable Securities held by the Holders, provided that if the Registrable Securities sought to be included in the Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 are not fully included in such Registration for any reason other than solely due to the action or inaction of the Holders, then such Registration shall not be deemed to constitute a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.2.1.

2.2.2 Effective Registration. A Registration will not count as a Demand Registration unless and until (i) the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration has been declared effective by the Commission and (ii) CayCo has complied with all of its obligations under this Agreement with respect thereto; provided, however, that if, after such Registration Statement has been declared effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order or injunction of the Commission or any other governmental agency or court, the Registration Statement with respect to such Demand Registration will be deemed not to have been declared effective, unless and until, (i) such stop order or injunction is removed, rescinded or otherwise terminated, and (ii) a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders thereafter elect to continue the offering.

2.2.3 Underwritten Offering. If the Demanding Holders so elect and such holders so advise CayCo as part of their written demand for a Demand Registration, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration shall be in the form of an underwritten offering with an estimated market value of at least US$10 million. In such an event, the right of any holder to include its Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting, and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting, to the extent provided herein. All Demanding Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such underwriting by the holders initiating the Demand Registration, and subject to the approval of CayCo, provided that such approval shall not be withheld by CayCo unreasonably.

2.2.4 Reduction of Offering. If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters for a Demand Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises CayCo and the Demanding Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of shares of Registrable Securities which the Demanding Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other CayCo Ordinary Shares or other securities which CayCo desires to sell and CayCo Ordinary Shares, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to written contractual piggy-back registration rights held by other shareholders of CayCo who desire to sell, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares that can be sold in such offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price, the timing, the distribution method, or the probability of success of such offering (such maximum dollar amount or maximum number of shares, as applicable, the (“Maximum Number of Shares”)), then CayCo shall include in such registration: (i) the Registrable Securities as to which Demand Registration has been requested by the Demanding Holders (pro rata in accordance with the number of shares that each such Person has requested be included in such registration, regardless of the number of shares held by each such Person (such proportion is referred to herein as “Pro Rata”)) that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (ii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has

Annex F-9

not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), CayCo Ordinary Shares or other securities that CayCo desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares; (iii) to the extent that the Maximum Number of Shares has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), CayCo Ordinary Shares or other securities for the account of other Persons that CayCo is obligated to register pursuant to written contractual arrangements with such Persons, as to which “piggy-back” registration has been requested by the holders thereof, Pro Rata, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Shares.

2.2.5 Withdrawal. If a majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders disapprove of the terms of any underwriting or are not entitled to include all of their Registrable Securities in any offering, such ma jority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders may elect to withdraw from such offering by giving written notice to CayCo and the Underwriter or Underwriters of their request to withdraw prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement filed with the Commission with respect to such Demand Registration. If the majority-in-interest of the Demanding Holders withdraws from a proposed offering relating to a Demand Registration, then either the Demanding Holders shall reimburse CayCo for the costs associated with the withdrawn registration (in which case such registration shall not count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.2) or the withdrawn registration shall count as a Demand Registration provided for in Section 2.2.

2.3 Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.1 Piggy-Back Rights. If CayCo proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering of equity securities, or securities or other obligations exercisable or exchangeable for, or convertible into, equity securities, by CayCo for its own account or for shareholders of CayCo for their account (or by CayCo and by shareholders of CayCo) including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 2.1, other than a Registration Statement (i) filed pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof; (ii) filed in connection with any employee stock option or other benefit plan, (iii) for an exchange offer or offering of securities solely to CayCo’s existing shareholders, (iv) for an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of CayCo, (v) filed on Form F-4, related to any merger, acquisition or business combination, (vi) for a dividend reinvestment plan or (vii) filed in connection with a Block Trade by one or more holders of Registrable Securities in accordance with Section 2.1.9, then CayCo shall (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Registrable Securities as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing Underwriter or Underwriters, if any, of the offering, and (y) offer to the holders of Registrable Securities in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within five (5) days following receipt of such notice (a “Piggy-Back Registration”). CayCo shall cause such Registrable Securities to be included in such Piggy-Back Registration and, if applicable, shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of CayCo, and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Registrable Securities proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an Underwriter or Underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, with the Underwriter or Underwriters selected for such Piggy-Back Registration.

2.3.2 Reduction of Offering.

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES.

3.1 Filings; Information. Whenever CayCo is required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Article 2 or effecting an underwritten Block Trade, CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof as expeditiously as practicable, and in connection with any such request:

3.1.1 Filing Registration Statement. CayCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as expeditiously as possible after receipt of a request for a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.2, prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement on any form for which CayCo then qualifies or which counsel for CayCo shall deem appropriate and which form shall be available for the sale of all Registrable Securities to be registered thereunder in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep it effective for the Effectiveness Period; provided, however, that CayCo shall have the right to defer any Demand Registration for up to sixty (60) days, and any Piggy-Back Registration for such period as may be applicable to deferment of any “demand” registration to which such Piggy-Back Registration relates, in each case if CayCo shall furnish to the holders a certificate signed by the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of CayCo stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be materially detrimental to CayCo and its shareholders for such Registration Statement to be effected at such time.

3.1.2 Limitations. CayCo shall not have the right to exercise the right set forth in the immediately preceding section on more than one occasion for more than sixty (60) total days in aggregate during any twelve (12)-month period.

CayCo shall promptly make available to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement any such supplement or amendment prepared in connection with the immediate preceding proviso; provided that before filing with the Commission a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, including documents incorporated by reference, CayCo shall furnish to the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement and to the legal counsel for any such holders, copies of all such documents proposed to be filed sufficiently in advance of filing to provide such holders and legal counsel with a reasonable opportunity to review such documents and comment thereon.

3.1.6 Securities Laws Compliance. CayCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “blue sky” Laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may reasonably request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other Governmental Authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of CayCo and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that CayCo shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this paragraph or subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction.

CayCo shall enter into customary agreements (including, if applicable, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The representations, warranties and covenants of CayCo in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement, and the representations, warranties and covenants of the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration statement in any underwriting agreement which are made to or for the benefit of any Underwriters, to the extent applicable, shall also be made to and for the benefit of CayCo.

3.1.8 Comfort Letter. CayCo shall obtain a “cold comfort” letter from CayCo’s independent registered public accountants or auditor in the event of an underwritten offering, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders.

3.1.9 Opinions. On the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to any Registration, CayCo shall obtain an opinion and an negative assurance letter, dated such date, of one (1) counsel representing CayCo for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders participating in such Registration, the placement agent or sales agent, if any, and the Underwriters, if any, covering such legal matters with respect to the

Annex F-12

Table of Contents

Registration in respect of which as the Holders, placement agent, sales agent, or Underwriter may reasonably request and as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority in interest of the participating Holders.

3.1.10 Cooperation. The chief executive officer of CayCo, the chief financial officer of CayCo, the chief accounting officer of CayCo and all other officers and members of the management of CayCo shall cooperate fully in any offering of Registrable Securities hereunder, which cooperation shall include, without limitation, the preparation of the Registration Statement with respect to such offering and all other offering materials and related documents, and participation in meetings with Underwriters, attorneys, accountants and potential Holders. CayCo shall use its reasonable efforts to make available the chief executive officer of CayCo, the chief financial officer of CayCo and all other officers and members of the management of CayCo to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any underwritten offering.

3.1.11 Records. Upon execution of confidentiality agreements, CayCo shall make available for inspection by the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, any Underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other professional retained by any Holder of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement or any Underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of CayCo, as shall be necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause CayCo’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information requested by any of them in connection with such Registration Statement.

Each Holder agrees to execute a customary lock-up agreement in favor of the Underwriters to such effect (in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as all such Holders); provided that, such agreement shall not be materially more restrictive than any similar agreement entered into by the directors and executive officers of CayCo participating in such underwritten offering; provided, further, that such agreement shall provide that any early release of any Holder from the provisions of the terms of such agreement shall be on a pro rata basis among all Holders.

3.2 Obligation to Suspend Distribution.

If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require CayCo to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to CayCo for reasons beyond CayCo control, CayCo may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, such Registration Statement for the shortest period of time, but in no event more than thirty (30) days, determined in good faith by the Board to be necessary for such purpose. CayCo shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.2.

CayCo shall have no obligation to pay any underwriting discounts or selling commissions attributable to the Registrable Securities being sold by the holders thereof, which underwriting discounts or selling commissions shall be borne by such holders. Additionally, in an underwritten offering, all participating Holders and CayCo shall bear the expenses of the Underwriter pro rata in proportion to the respective amount of shares each is selling in such offering.

3.4 Information. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall promptly provide such information as may reasonably be requested by CayCo, or the managing Underwriter, if any, in connection with the preparation of any Registration Statement, including amendments and supplements thereto, in order to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act and in connection with CayCo’s obligation to comply with Federal and applicable state securities Laws.

ARTICLE 4
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION.

4.1 Indemnification by CayCo. CayCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each Holder, and each of their respective officers, employees, affiliates, directors, partners, members, attorneys and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls an Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) (each, a “Holder Indemnified Party”), from and against any expenses, losses, judgments, claims, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or allegedly untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement, or arising out of or based upon any omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by CayCo of the Securities Act or any rule or regulation promulgated thereunder applicable to CayCo and relating to action or inaction required of CayCo in connection with any such registration; and CayCo shall promptly reimburse the Holder Indemnified Party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Holder Indemnified Party in connection with investigating and defending any such expense, loss, judgment, claim, damage, liability or Action; provided, however, that CayCo will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, or summary prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement, in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to CayCo, in writing, by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holder’s violation of the federal securities Laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus.

4.2 Indemnification by Holders of Registrable Securities. Each selling Holder of Registrable Securities will, in the event that any Registration is being effected under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement of any Registrable Securities held by such selling Holder, indemnify and hold harmless CayCo, each of its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder and each other Person, if any, who controls another selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities, whether joint or several, insofar as such losses, claims, judgments, damages or liabilities (or Actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which the sale of such Registrable Securities was registered under the Securities Act, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained in the Registration Statement, or any amendment or

Annex F-14

Table of Contents

supplement to the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon any omission or the alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading, if the statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to CayCo by such selling Holder expressly for use therein, or is based on any selling Holder’s violation of the federal securities Laws (including Regulation M) or failure to sell the Registrable Securities in accordance with the plan of distribution contained in the prospectus, and shall reimburse CayCo, its directors and officers, and each other selling Holder or controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigation or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action. Each selling Holder’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be several and not joint and shall be limited to the amount of any net proceeds actually received by such selling Holder in connection with such Registration.

4.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Promptly after receipt by any Person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any Action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, such Person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other Person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other Person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or Action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or Action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or Action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or Action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any Action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel, which counsel is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling Persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding. The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of Registrable Securities.

4.4 Contribution.

4.4.1 If the indemnification provided for in the foregoing Sections 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3 is unavailable to any Indemnified Party in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or Action referred to herein, then each such Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties in connection with the actions or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or Action, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of any Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnified Party or such Indemnifying Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

4.4.2 The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.4.2 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding Section 4.4.1.

Annex F-15

Table of Contents

4.4.3 The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of any loss, claim, damage, liability or Action referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.4, no holder of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds (after payment of any underwriting fees, discounts, commissions or taxes) actually received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities which gave rise to such contribution obligation. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

ARTICLE 5
RE-SALE RIGHT AND RULE 144 REPORTING

5.1 Re-Sale Right. CayCo shall, at its own cost, use its best efforts to assist the Holder in the sale or disposition of, and to enable the Holder to sell under Rule 144, the maximum number of its Registrable Securities, including, without limitation: (a) the prompt delivery of applicable instruction letters to CayCo’s transfer agent to remove legends from the Holder’s share certificates, (b) causing the prompt delivery of appropriate legal opinions from CayCo’s counsel in forms reasonably satisfactory to the Holder’s counsel, (c) if CayCo has depositary receipts listed or traded on any exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, (i) the prompt delivery of instruction letters to CayCo’s share registrar and depositary agent to convert the Holder’s securities into depositary receipts or vice versa, or similar instruments to be deposited in or transfer out of the Holder’s brokerage account(s), (ii) the prompt payment of all costs and fees related to such depositary facility, including conversion fees and maintenance fees for Registrable Securities held by the Holder, and (iii) taking any and all other steps necessary to facilitate the conversion into depositary receipts or similar instruments (for the avoidance of doubt, CayCo shall not be obligated to pay any American depositary share issuance or transfer fees or expenses and stock transfer taxes in relation to any sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities).

5.2 Rule 144 Reporting. CayCo agrees to: (a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; (b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of CayCo under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and (c) furnish to the Holder promptly upon request (i) a written statement by CayCo as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or its qualification as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form F-3 (at any time after it so qualifies), (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of CayCo, and (iii) such other reports and documents of CayCo as the Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to Form F-3.

6.3 Sharing of Information. To the extent permitted by antitrust, competition or any other applicable Law, each of CayCo and the Holders agrees and acknowledges that the directors designated by the Sponsor may share confidential, non-public information about CayCo and its Subsidiaries (“Confidential Information”) with the Sponsor Parties. Each Sponsor Party recognizes that it, or its affiliates and representatives, has acquired or will acquire Confidential Information the use or disclosure of which could cause CayCo substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate. Accordingly, each Sponsor Party covenants and agrees with CayCo that it will not (and will cause its respective controlled affiliates and representatives not to) at any time, except with the prior written consent of CayCo, directly or indirectly, disclose any Confidential Information known to it to any third party, unless (a) such information becomes known to the public through no fault of such party, (b) disclosure is required by applicable Law (including any filing following the Closing with the Commission pursuant to applicable securities Laws) or court of competent jurisdiction or requested by a governmental or regulatory authority; provided that, (other than in the case of any required filing following the Closing with the Commission, or in connection with any routine audit or examination as described below) such Sponsor Party promptly notifies CayCo of such requirement or request, and takes commercially reasonable steps, at the sole cost and expense of CayCo, to minimize the extent of any such required disclosure, (c) such information was available or becomes available to such Sponsor Party before, on or after the Closing, without restriction, from a source (other than CayCo) without any breach of duty to CayCo or (d) such information was independently developed by such Sponsor Party, its affiliates or its representatives without the use of the Confidential Information.

For the purposes of this Section 6.5, none of the circumstances described in the limitations contained in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to apply absent a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to such effect, in which case to the extent any such limitation is so determined to apply to any Sponsor Indemnitee as to any previously advanced indemnity payments made by CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries, then such payments shall be promptly repaid by such Sponsor Indemnitee to CayCo and its Subsidiaries. The rights of any Sponsor Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other agreement or instrument to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Law or under the Governing Documents of CayCo or its Subsidiaries.

6.5.2 CayCo will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, jointly and severally, reimburse any Sponsor Indemnitee for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and any other litigation-related expenses) as they are incurred in connection with investigating, preparing, pursuing, defending or assisting in the defense of any Action for which the Sponsor Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Section 6.5, or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Sponsor Indemnitee is a party thereto. CayCo or its Subsidiaries, in the defense of any Action for which a Sponsor Indemnitee would be entitled to indemnification under the terms of this Section 6.5, may, without the consent of such Sponsor Indemnitee, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, if and only if, it (i) includes as a term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff therein to such Sponsor Indemnitee of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such Action, (ii) does not impose any limitations (equitable or otherwise) on such Sponsor Indemnitee, and (iii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Sponsor Indemnitee, and provided that, the only penalty imposed in connection with such settlement is a monetary payment that will be paid in full by CayCo or its Subsidiaries.

6.5.3 CayCo acknowledges and agrees that CayCo shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its Subsidiaries to, be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to any Sponsor Indemnitee in respect of Indemnified Liabilities in connection with any Jointly Indemnifiable Claims (as defined below), pursuant to and in accordance with (as applicable) the terms of (i) CayCo’s Governing Documents, each as amended, (ii) any director indemnification agreement, (iii) this Agreement, any other agreement between CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries and such Sponsor Indemnitee (or its affiliates) pursuant to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is indemnified, (iv) the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Subsidiary of CayCo, and/or (v) the Governing Docume nts o f CayCo’s Subsidiaries ((i) through (v) above, collectively, the “Indemnification Sources”), irrespective of any right of recovery such Sponsor Indemnitee (or its affiliates) may have from any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than CayCo, any of its Subsidiaries or the insurer under and pursuant to any insurance policy of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries) from whom such Sponsor Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification with respect to which, in whole or in part, CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries may also have an indemnification obligation (collectively, the “Indemnitee-Related Entities”). Under no circumstance shall CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by the Indemnitee-Related Entities and no right of advancement or recovery any Sponsor Indemnitee may have from the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of such Sponsor Indemnitee or the obligations of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries under the Indemnification Sources. In the event that any of the Indem nitee-Related Entities shall make any payment to any Sponsor Indemnitee in respect of indemnification with respect to any Jointly Indemnifiable Claim, (x) CayCo shall, and to the extent applicable shall cause its Subsidiaries to, reimburse the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment to the extent of such payment promptly upon written demand from such Indemnitee-Related Entity, (y) to the extent not previously and fully reimbursed by CayCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to clause (x), the Indemnitee-Related Entity making such payment shall be subrogated to the extent of the outstanding balance of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Sponsor Indemnitee against CayCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and (z) such Sponsor Indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable the Indemnitee-Related Entities effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each party hereto agree that each of the Indemnitee-Related Entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 6.5, entitled to enforce this Section 6.5.3 as though each such Indemnitee-Related Entity were a party to this Agreement. CayCo shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform the terms and obligations of this Section 6.5.3 as though each such Subsidiary were a party to this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.5.3, the term (“Jointly Indemnifiable Claims”) shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any Indemnified Liabilities for which

Annex F-20

any Sponsor Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification from both (1) CayCo and/or any of its Subsidiaries, pursuant to the Indemnification Sources, on the one hand, and (2) any Indemnitee-Related Entity pursuant to any other agreement between any Indemnitee-Related Entity and such Sponsor Indemnitee (or its affiliates), pursuant to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is indemnified, the Laws of the jurisdiction of incorporation or organization of any Indemnitee-Related Entity and/or the Governing Documents of any Indemnitee-Related Entity, on the other hand.

6.5.4 In no event shall any Sponsor Indemnitee be liable to CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries for any act, alleged act, omission or alleged omission that does not constitute willful misconduct or fraud of such Sponsor Indemnitee as determined by a final, non-appealable determination of a court of competent jurisdiction.

6.5.5 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for purposes of this Section 6.5, the term Sponsor Indemnitees shall not include any Sponsor or its any of its partners, equityholders, members, affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents or any of the partners, equityholders, members, affiliates, directors, officers, fiduciaries, managers, controlling Persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing who is an officer or director of CayCo or any of its Subsidiaries in such capacity as officer or director. Such officers and directors are or will be subject to separate indemnification in such capacity through this Agreement and/or the Governing Documents and other agreements and instruments of CayCo and its Subsidiaries (including as contemplated in Section 6.1).

6.5.6 The rights of any Sponsor Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.5 will be in addition to any other rights any such Person may have under any other section of this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which such Sponsor Indemnitee is or becomes a party or is or otherwise becomes a beneficiary or under Law or under the Governing Documents of CayCo and its Subsidiaries.

FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED.

7.8 Entire Agreement.

The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

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

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

subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of the Articles, in the event that the Company has not consummated a Business Combination by January 27, 2024, the Company may, without the need for any further action, approvals or resolutions by or from the Members, elect to extend the date to consummate the Business Combination beyond January 27, 2024 on a monthly basis for up to nine times, each time by one month, by resolutions of the Directors, prior to the last day before the applicable Extended Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may decide to terminate each extended monthly period, provided that the Company shall have deposited into the Trust Account, for such extended monthly period, the lesser of (a) US$80,000 and (b) US$0.02 for each Public Share that has not been redeemed as of October 25, 2023.

Annex G-2

For the purpose of this Article 49.7 and Article 49.8, the period from October 27, 2023 (exclusive) to January 27, 2024 (inclusive) is being referred to as the “First Phase Extension Period,” and each of the one-month extension periods after January 27, 2024 (exclusive) until October 27, 2024 (inclusive) is being referred to as a “Second Phase Extension Period.” Each of the First Phase Extension Period and the Second Phase Extension Periods is an “Extension Period.” January 27, 2024 is being referred as the “First Phase Extended Date,” and the last day of each Second Phase Extension Period is being referred to as a “Second Phase Extended Date,” with the first Second Phase Extended Date being February 27, 2024 and the ninth Second Phase Extended Date being October 27, 2024. “Extended Date” means each of the First Phase Extended Date and the Second Phase Extended Date, as appropriate.

In connection with the extensions, the Company shall deposit in the Trust Account: (A) for the First Phase Extension Period, the lesser of (a) US$240,000 and (b) US$0.06 for each Public Share that has not been redeemed as of October 25, 2023 (the “First Phase Extension Contribution”), and (B) if the Company does not consummate a business combination by the First Phase Extended Date and the Board elects to extend the period to consummate a business combination beyond the First Phase Extension Period, as permitted under this Article 49.7, for each applicable Second Phase Extension Period, the lesser of (a) US$80,000 and (b) US$0.02 for each Public Share that has not been redeemed as of October 25, 2023 (each such deposit, a “Second Phase Extension Contribution”). The First Phase Extension Contribution shall be deposited in the Trust Account in three equal instalments on or before November 3, 2023, December 3, 2023 and January 3, 2024, respectively. Each Second Phase Extension Contribution, if applicable, shall be deposited into the Trust Account on or before on the seventh day of the applicable Second Phase Extension Period. Each of the First Phase Extension Contribution and Second Phase Extension Contributions is being referred to as an “Extension Contribution.” If any day when an Extension Contribution is scheduled to be deposited is not a business day in New York City, New York, or Hong Kong, the Company is entitled to make such Extension Contribution on the immediate next day which is a business day in New York City, New York and Hong Kong.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Board may, prior to the last day of an Extension Period, pass a resolution to terminate such Extension Period, provided that the Company shall have deposited into the Trust Account the Extension Contribution for such Extension Period.

49.8 In the event that any amendment is made to the Articles:

(a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination on or before the First Phase Extended Date (or, if the Board has resolved to extend the period of time to consummate a Business Combination as described in Article 49.7, by the applicable Second Phase Extended Date); or

Annex G-3

(b) with respect to any other provision relating to Members’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity,

6.3 If a share certificate is defaced, worn out, lost or destroyed, it may be renewed on such terms (if any) as to evidence and indemnity and on the payment of such expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating evidence, as the Directors may prescribe, and (in the case of defacement or wearing out) upon delivery of the old certificate.

6.4 Every share certificate sent in accordance with the Articles will be sent at the risk of the Member or other person entitled to the certificate. The Company will not be responsible for any share certificate lost or delayed in the course of delivery.

6.5 Share certificates shall be issued within the relevant time limit as prescribed by the Statute, if applicable, or as the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law may from time to time determine, whichever is shorter, after the allotment or, except in the case of a Share transfer which the Company is for the time being entitled to refuse to register and does not register, after lodgement of a Share transfer with the Company.

7 Transfer of Shares

7.1 Subject to the terms of the Articles, any Member may transfer all or any of his Shares by an instrument of transfer provided that such transfer complies with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. If the Shares in question were issued in conjunction with rights, options, warrants or units issued pursuant to the Articles on terms that one cannot be transferred without the other, the Directors shall refuse to register the transfer of any such Share without evidence satisfactory to them of the like transfer of such right, option, warrant or unit.

7.2 The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing in the usual or common form or in a form prescribed by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law or in any other form approved by the Directors and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee) and may be under hand or, if the transferor or transferee is a Clearing House or its nominee(s), by hand or by machine imprinted signature or by such other manner of execution as the Directors may approve from time to time. The transferor shall be deemed to remain the holder of a Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register of Members.

8 Redemption, Repurchase and Surrender of Shares

8.1 Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may issue Shares that are to be redeemed or are liable to be redeemed at the option of the Member or the Company. The redemption of such Shares, except Public Shares, shall be effected in such manner and upon such other terms as the Company may, by Special Resolution, determine before the issue of such Shares. With respect to redeeming or repurchasing the Shares:

(a) Members who hold Public Shares are entitled to request the redemption of such Shares in the circumstances described in the Business Combination Article hereof;

Annex G-17

Table of Contents

(b) Class B Shares held by the Sponsor shall be surrendered by the Sponsor for no consideration to the extent that the Over-Allotment Option is not exercised in full so that the Sponsor will own 20 per cent of the Company’s issued Shares after the IPO; and

(c) Public Shares shall be repurchased by way of tender offer in the circumstances set out in the Business Combination Article hereof.

8.2 Subject to the provisions of the Statute, and, where applicable, the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Company may purchase its own Shares (including any redeemable Shares) in such manner and on such other terms as the Directors may agree with the relevant Member. For the avoidance of doubt, redemptions, repurchases and surrenders of Shares in the circumstances described in the Article above shall not require further approval of the Members.

8.3 The Company may make a payment in respect of the redemption or purchase of its own Shares in any manner permitted by the Statute, including out of capital.

8.4 The Directors may accept the surrender for no consideration of any fully paid Share.

9 Treasury Shares

9.1 The Directors may, prior to the purchase, redemption or surrender of any Share, determine that such Share shall be held as a Treasury Share.

9.2 The Directors may determine to cancel a Treasury Share or transfer a Treasury Share on such terms as they think proper (including, without limitation, for nil consideration).

10 Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1 Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two-thirds of the issued Shares of that class (other than with respect to a waiver of the provisions of the Class B Ordinary Share Conversion Article hereof, which as stated therein shall only require the consent in writing of the holders of a majority of the issued Shares of that class), or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two-thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one-third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2 For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

Annex G-18

Table of Contents

10.3 The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights.

11 Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

12 Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13 Lien on Shares

13.1 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2 The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3 To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4 The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

14 Call on Shares

14.1 Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

14.3 The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

14.4 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5 An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

14.6 The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7 The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8 No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

15 Forfeiture of Shares

15.1 If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2 If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

15.3 A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

Annex G-20

Table of Contents

15.4 A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

15.5 A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

15.6 The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

16 Transmission of Shares

16.1 If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder), or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

16.2 Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

16.3 A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles), the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

17 Class B Ordinary Share Conversion

17.1 The rights attaching to the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects, and the Class A Shares and Class B Shares shall vote together as a single class on all matters (subject to the Variation of Rights of Shares Article and the Appointment and Removal of Directors Article hereof) with the exception that the holder of a Class B Share shall have the conversion rights referred to in this Article.

17.2 Class B Shares shall automatically convert into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (the “Initial Conversion Ratio”) following the consummation of a Business Combination.

17.3 Notwithstanding the Initial Conversion Ratio, in the case that additional Class A Shares or any other Equity-linked Securities, are issued, or deemed issued, by the Company in excess of the amounts offered in the IPO and related to the consummation of a Business Combination, all Class B Shares in issue shall automatically convert into Class A Shares at the time of the consummation of a Business Combination at a ratio for which the Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares will be adjusted (unless the holders of a majority of the Class B Shares in issue agree to waive such anti-dilution adjustment with respect to any such issuance or deemed issuance) so that the number of Class A Shares issuable upon conversion of all Class B Shares will equal, on an as-converted basis, in the aggregate, 20 per cent of the sum of all Class A Shares and Cla ss B Shares in issue upon completion of the IPO plus all Class A Shares and Equity-linked Securities issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination (including any Forward Purchase Shares but not including any Forward Purchase Warrants), excluding any Shares or Equity-linked Securities issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor or its Affiliates, Officers or Directors upon conversion of working capital loans made to the Company.

17.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the foregoing adjustment to the Initial Conversion Ratio may be waived as to any particular issuance or deemed issuance of additional Class A Shares or Equity-linked Securities by the written consent or agreement of holders of a majority of the Class B Shares then in issue consenting or agreeing separately as a separate class in the manner provided in the Variation of Rights of Shares Article hereof.

17.5 The foregoing conversion ratio shall also be adjusted to account for any subdivision (by share subdivision, exchange, capitalisation, rights issue, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or combination (by share consolidation, exchange, reclassification, recapitalisation or otherwise) or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class A Shares in issue into a greater or lesser number of Shares occurring after the original filing of the Articles without a proportionate and corresponding subdivision, combination or similar reclassification or recapitalisation of the Class B Shares in issue.

17.6 Each Class B Share shall convert into its pro rata number of Class A Shares pursuant to this Article. The pro rata share for each holder of Class B Shares will be determined as follows: each Class B Share shall convert into such number of Class A Shares as is equal to the product of 1 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the total number of Class A Shares into which all of the Class B Shares in issue shall be converted pursuant to this Article and the denominator of which shall be the total number of Class B Shares in issue at the time of conversion.

17.7 References in this Article to “converted”, “conversion” or “exchange” shall mean the compulsory redemption without notice of Class B Shares of any Member and, on behalf of such Members, automatic application of such redemption proceeds in paying for such new Class A Shares into which the Class B Shares have been converted or exchanged at a price per Class B Share necessary to give effect to a conversion or exchange calculated on the basis that the Class A Shares to be issued as part of the conversion or exchange will be issued at par. The Class A Shares to be issued on an exchange or conversion shall be registered in the name of such Member or in such name as the Member may direct.

Annex G-22

Table of Contents

17.8 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article, in no event may any Class B Share convert into Class A Shares at a ratio that is less than one-for-one.

(c) convert all or any of its paid-up Shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination;

(e) cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

18.2 All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

Annex G-23

Table of Contents

20.2 The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

20.3 The Directors, the chief executive officer or the chairman of the board of Directors may call general meetings, and, for the avoidance of doubt, Members shall not have the ability to call general meetings.

21 Notice of General Meetings

21.1 At least five clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

(b) in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety-five per cent in par value of the Shares giving that right.

21.2 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

22 Proceedings at General Meetings

22.1 No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. The holders of a majority of the Shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall be a quorum.

22.2 A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

22.3 A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all of the Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations or other non-natural persons, signed by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

22.8 When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

22.9 If, prior to a Business Combination, a notice is issued in respect of a general meeting and the Directors, in their absolute discretion, consider that it is impractical or undesirable for any reason to hold that general meeting at the place, the day and the hour specified in the notice calling such general meeting, the Directors may postpone the general meeting to another place, day and/or hour provided that notice of the place, the day and the hour of the rearranged general meeting is promptly given to all Members. No business shall be transacted at any postponed meeting other than the business specified in the notice of the original meeting.

22.10 When a general meeting is postponed for thirty days or more, notice of the postponed meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting.

A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

23.7 A Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.

25.1 Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

(a) the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns the office of Director; or

(d) the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

(e) all of the other Directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors.

Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting.

Annex G-29

Table of Contents

31.6 The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

31.7 The Directors may elect a chairman of their board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

31.9 A Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

32 Presumption of Assent

A Director who is present at a meeting of the board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director who voted in favour of such action.

37 Remuneration of Directors

37.1 The remuneration to be paid to the Directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine, provided that no cash remuneration shall be paid to any Director by the Company prior to the consummation of a Business Combination. The Directors shall also, whether prior to or after the consummation of a Business Combination, be entitled to be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Directors or committees of Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or separate meetings of the holders of any class of Shares or debentures of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company or the discharge of their duties as a Director, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Directors, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.

Annex G-32

Table of Contents

38 Seal

38.1 The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors authorised by the Directors.

38.2 The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

39 Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

39.1 Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

39.2 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

39.3 The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

39.4 The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

39.5 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

39.6 The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

Annex G-33

Table of Contents

39.7 Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

39.8 No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

39.9 Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

40 Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

41 Books of Account

41.1 The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

41.2 The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

Annex G-34

42 Audit

42.1 The Directors may appoint an Auditor of the Company who shall hold office on such terms as the Directors determine.

42.2 Without prejudice to the freedom of the Directors to establish any other committee, if the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, and if required by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law, the Directors shall establish and maintain an Audit Committee as a committee of the Directors and shall adopt a formal written Audit Committee charter and review and assess the adequacy of the formal written charter on an annual basis. The composition and responsibilities of the Audit Committee shall comply with the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law.

42.3 If the Shares (or depositary receipts therefor) are listed or quoted on the Designated Stock Exchange, the Company shall conduct an appropriate review of all related party transactions on an ongoing basis and shall utilise the Audit Committee for the review and approval of potential conflicts of interest.

42.4 The remuneration of the Auditor shall be fixed by the Audit Committee (if one exists).

42.5 If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by resignation or death of the Auditor, or by his becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when his services are required, the Directors shall fill the vacancy and determine the remuneration of such Auditor.

42.6 Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

42.7 Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

42.8 At least one member of the Audit Committee shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as determined by the rules and regulations of the Designated Stock Exchange, the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or any other competent regulatory authority or otherwise under Applicable Law. The “audit committee financial expert” shall have such past employment experience in finance or accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or any other comparable experience or background which results in the individual’s financial sophistication.

43.3 A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

43.4 Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

44 Winding Up

44.1 If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

44.2 If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

45 Indemnity and Insurance

45.1 Every Director and Officer (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former Officer (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2 The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

49.1 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Articles, this Article shall apply during the period commencing upon the adoption of the Articles and terminating upon the first to occur of the consummation of a Business Combination and the full distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In the event of a conflict between this Article and any other Articles, the provisions of this Article shall prevail.

49.2 Prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall either:

(a) submit such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or

(b) provide Members with the opportunity to have their Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer for a per-Share repurchase 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 such Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (net of taxes paid or payable, if any), divided by the number of then issued Public Shares, provided that the Company shall not repurchase Public Shares in an amount that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such repurchases.

Table of Contents

49.4 At a general meeting called for the purposes of approving a Business Combination pursuant to this Article, in the event that such Business Combination is approved by Ordinary Resolution, the Company shall be authorised to consummate such Business Combination, provided that the Company shall not consummate such Business Combination unless the Company has net tangible assets of at least US$5,000,001 immediately prior to, or upon such consummation of, or any greater net tangible asset or cash requirement that may be contained in the agreement relating to, such Business Combination.

49.5 Any Member holding Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director may in connection with any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided for in the related proxy materials (the “IPO Redemption”), provided that no such Member acting together with any Affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, limited partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or disposing of Shares may exercise this redemption right with respect to more than 15 per cent of the Public Shares in the aggregate without the prior consent of the Company and provided further that any beneficial holder of Public Shares on whose behalf a redemption right is being exercised must identify itself to the Company in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he votes on such proposed Business Combination, and if he does vote, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination, a per-Share redemption 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 the Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account (such interest shall be net of taxes payable) and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then issued Public Shares (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “Redemption Price”), but only in the event that the applicable proposed Business Combination is approved and consummated. The Company shall not redeem Public Shares that would cause the Company’s net tangible assets to be less than US$5,000,001 following such redemptions (the “Redemption Limitation”).

49.6 A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Notice following the deadline for such Redemption Notice unless the Directors determine (in their sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which they may do in whole or in part).

49.7 In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 15 months from the consummation of the IPO (or up to 21 months if such date is extended as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles, the Company shall:

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

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

(c) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the Directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and other requirements of Applicable Law.

Annex G-39

Table of Contents

49.8 In the event that any amendment is made to the Articles:

(a) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to allow redemption in connection with a Business Combination or redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within 15 months from the consummation of the IPO (or up to 21 months if such date is extended as described in the prospectus relating to the IPO), or such later time as the Members may approve in accordance with the Articles; or

(b) with respect to any other provision relating to Members’ rights or pre-Business Combination activity,

the Company shall provide the holders of Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval or effectiveness of any such amendment at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. The Company’s ability to provide such redemption in this Article is subject to the Redemption Limitation.

49.9 A holder of Public Shares shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Trust Account only in the event of an IPO Redemption, a repurchase of Shares by means of a tender offer pursuant to this Article, or a distribution of the Trust Account pursuant to this Article. In no other circumstance shall a holder of Public Shares have any right or interest of any kind in the Trust Account.

49.10 After the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:

(a) receive funds from the Trust Account; or

(b) vote as a class with Public Shares on a Business Combination.

49.11 The uninterested Independent Directors shall approve any transaction or transactions between the Company and any of the following parties:

(a) any Member owning an interest in the voting power of the Company that gives such Member a significant influence over the Company; and

(b) any Director or Officer and any Affiliate of such Director or Officer.

49.12 A Director may vote in respect of a Business Combination in which such Director has a conflict of interest with respect to the evaluation of such Business Combination. Such Director must disclose such interest or conflict to the other Directors.

49.13 As long as the securities of the Company are listed on the Nasdaq Growth Market, the Company must complete one or more Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80 per cent of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the Company’s signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. A Business Combination must not be solely effectuated with another blank cheque company or a similar company with nominal operations.

49.14 The Company may enter into a Business Combination with a target business that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer. In the event the Company seeks to consummate a Business Combination with a target that is Affiliated with the Sponsor, a Founder, a Director or an Officer, the Company, or a

Annex G-40

Table of Contents

committee of Independent Directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another valuation or appraisal firm that regularly renders fairness opinions on the type of target business the Company is seeking to acquire that is a member of the United States Financial Industry Regulatory Authority or an independent accounting firm that such a Business Combination is fair to the Company from a financial point of view.

50 Business Opportunities

50.1 To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, no individual serving as a Director or an Officer (“Management”) shall have any duty, except and to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to refrain from engaging directly or indirectly in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as the Company.

Except to the extent expressly assumed by contract, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Management shall have no duty to communicate or offer any such corporate opportunity to the Company and shall not be liable to the Company or its Members for breach of any fiduciary duty as a Member, Director and/or Officer solely by reason of the fact that such party pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, himself or herself, directs such corporate opportunity to another person, or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Company.

50.2 Except as provided elsewhere in this Article, the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for both the Company and Management, about which a Director and/or Officer who is also a member of Management acquires knowledge.

50.3 To the extent a court might hold that the conduct of any activity related to a corporate opportunity that is renounced in this Article to be a breach of duty to the Company or its Members, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, any and all claims and causes of action that the Company may have for such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the provisions of this Article apply equally to activities conducted in the future and that have been conducted in the past.

51 Certain Tax Filings

7.2 The instrument of transfer of any Share shall be in writing and shall be executed by or on behalf of the transferor (and if the Directors so require, signed by or on behalf of the transferee).

10 Variation of Rights of Shares

10.1 Subject to Article 3.1, if at any time the share capital of the Company is divided into different classes of Shares, all or any of the rights attached to any class (unless otherwise provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class) may, whether or not the Company is being wound up, be varied without the consent of the holders of the issued Shares of that class where such variation is considered by the Directors not to have a material adverse effect upon such rights; otherwise, any such variation shall be made only with the consent in writing of the holders of not less than two thirds of the issued Shares of that class, or with the approval of a resolution passed by a majority of not less than two thirds of the votes cast at a separate meeting of the holders of the Shares of that class. For the avoidance of doubt, the Directors reserve the right, notwithstanding that any such variation may not have a material adverse effect, to obtain consent from the holders of Shares of the

Annex H-6

Table of Contents

relevant class. To any such meeting all the provisions of the Articles relating to general meetings shall apply mutatis mutandis, except that the necessary quorum shall be one person holding or representing by proxy at least one third of the issued Shares of the class and that any holder of Shares of the class present in person or by proxy may demand a poll.

10.2 For the purposes of a separate class meeting, the Directors may treat two or more or all the classes of Shares as forming one class of Shares if the Directors consider that such class of Shares would be affected in the same way by the proposals under consideration, but in any other case shall treat them as separate classes of Shares.

10.3 The rights conferred upon the holders of the Shares of any class issued with preferred or other rights shall not, unless otherwise expressly provided by the terms of issue of the Shares of that class, be deemed to be varied by the creation or issue of further Shares ranking pari passu therewith or Shares issued with preferred or other rights.

11 Commission on Sale of Shares

The Company may, in so far as the Statute permits, pay a commission to any person in consideration of his subscribing or agreeing to subscribe (whether absolutely or conditionally) or procuring or agreeing to procure subscriptions (whether absolutely or conditionally) for any Shares. Such commissions may be satisfied by the payment of cash and/or the issue of fully or partly paid-up Shares. The Company may also on any issue of Shares pay such brokerage as may be lawful.

12 Non Recognition of Trusts

The Company shall not be bound by or compelled to recognise in any way (even when notified) any equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or (except only as is otherwise provided by the Articles or the Statute) any other rights in respect of any Share other than an absolute right to the entirety thereof in the holder.

13 Lien on Shares

13.1 The Company shall have a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether fully paid-up or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others) for all debts, liabilities or engagements to or with the Company (whether presently payable or not) by such Member or his estate, either alone or jointly with any other person, whether a Member or not, but the Directors may at any time declare any Share to be wholly or in part exempt from the provisions of this Article. The registration of a transfer of any such Share shall operate as a waiver of the Company’s lien thereon. The Company’s lien on a Share shall also extend to any amount payable in respect of that Share.

13.2 The Company may sell, in such manner as the Directors think fit, any Shares on which the Company has a lien, if a sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable, and is not paid within fourteen clear days after notice has been received or deemed to have been received by the holder of the Shares, or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of the holder, demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold.

13.3 To give effect to any such sale the Directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The purchaser or his nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and he shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall his title to the Shares be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the sale or the exercise of the Company’s power of sale under the Articles.

13.4 The net proceeds of such sale after payment of costs, shall be applied in payment of such part of the amount in respect of which the lien exists as is presently payable and any balance shall (subject to a like lien for sums not presently payable as existed upon the Shares before the sale) be paid to the person entitled to the Shares at the date of the sale.

Annex H-7

Table of Contents

14 Call on Shares

14.1 Subject to the terms of the allotment and issue of any Shares, the Directors may make calls upon the Members in respect of any monies unpaid on their Shares (whether in respect of par value or premium), and each Member shall (subject to receiving at least fourteen clear days’ notice specifying the time or times of payment) pay to the Company at the time or times so specified the amount called on the Shares. A call may be revoked or postponed, in whole or in part, as the Directors may determine. A call may be required to be paid by instalments. A person upon whom a call is made shall remain liable for calls made upon him notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

14.2 A call shall be deemed to have been made at the time when the resolution of the Directors authorising such call was passed.

14.3 The joint holders of a Share shall be jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in respect thereof.

14.4 If a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable, the person from whom it is due shall pay interest on the amount unpaid from the day it became due and payable until it is paid at such rate as the Directors may determine (and in addition all expenses that have been incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment), but the Directors may waive payment of the interest or expenses wholly or in part.

14.5 An amount payable in respect of a Share on issue or allotment or at any fixed date, whether on account of the par value of the Share or premium or otherwise, shall be deemed to be a call and if it is not paid all the provisions of the Articles shall apply as if that amount had become due and payable by virtue of a call.

14.6 The Directors may issue Shares with different terms as to the amount and times of payment of calls, or the interest to be paid.

14.7 The Directors may, if they think fit, receive an amount from any Member willing to advance all or any part of the monies uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by him, and may (until the amount would otherwise become payable) pay interest at such rate as may be agreed upon between the Directors and the Member paying such amount in advance.

14.8 No such amount paid in advance of calls shall entitle the Member paying such amount to any portion of a Dividend or other distribution payable in respect of any period prior to the date upon which such amount would, but for such payment, become payable.

15 Forfeiture of Shares

15.1 If a call or instalment of a call remains unpaid after it has become due and payable the Directors may give to the person from whom it is due not less than fourteen clear days’ notice requiring payment of the amount unpaid together with any interest which may have accrued and any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment. The notice shall specify where payment is to be made and shall state that if the notice is not complied with the Shares in respect of which the call was made will be liable to be forfeited.

15.2 If the notice is not complied with, any Share in respect of which it was given may, before the payment required by the notice has been made, be forfeited by a resolution of the Directors. Such forfeiture shall include all Dividends, other distributions or other monies payable in respect of the forfeited Share and not paid before the forfeiture.

15.3 A forfeited Share may be sold, re-allotted or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such manner as the Directors think fit and at any time before a sale, re-allotment or disposition the forfeiture may be cancelled on such terms as the Directors think fit. Where for the purposes of its disposal a forfeited Share is to be transferred to any person the Directors may authorise some person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Share in favour of that person.

15.4 A person any of whose Shares have been forfeited shall cease to be a Member in respect of them and shall surrender to the Company for cancellation the certificate for the Shares forfeited and shall remain liable to pay to the Company all monies which at the date of forfeiture were payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but his liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by him in respect of those Shares.

Annex H-8

Table of Contents

15.5 A certificate in writing under the hand of one Director or Officer that a Share has been forfeited on a specified date shall be conclusive evidence of the facts stated in it as against all persons claiming to be entitled to the Share. The certificate shall (subject to the execution of an instrument of transfer) constitute a good title to the Share and the person to whom the Share is sold or otherwise disposed of shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, if any, nor shall his title to the Share be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in reference to the forfeiture, sale or disposal of the Share.

15.6 The provisions of the Articles as to forfeiture shall apply in the case of non payment of any sum which, by the terms of issue of a Share, becomes payable at a fixed time, whether on account of the par value of the Share or by way of premium as if it had been payable by virtue of a call duly made and notified.

16 Transmission of Shares

16.1 If a Member dies, the survivor or survivors (where he was a joint holder), or his legal personal representatives (where he was a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to his Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which he was a joint or sole holder.

16.2 Any person becoming entitled to a Share in consequence of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other way than by transfer) may, upon such evidence being produced as may be required by the Directors, elect, by a notice in writing sent by him to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by him registered as the holder of such Share. If he elects to have another person registered as the holder of such Share he shall sign an instrument of transfer of that Share to that person. The Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution, as the case may be.

16.3 A person becoming entitled to a Share by reason of the death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution of a Member (or in any other case than by transfer) shall be entitled to the same Dividends, other distributions and other advantages to which he would be entitled if he were the holder of such Share. However, he shall not, before becoming a Member in respect of a Share, be entitled in respect of it to exercise any right conferred by membership in relation to general meetings of the Company and the Directors may at any time give notice requiring any such person to elect either to be registered himself or to have some person nominated by him be registered as the holder of the Share (but the Directors shall, in either case, have the same right to decline or suspend registration as they would have had in the case of a transfer of the Share by the relevant Member before his death or bankruptcy or liquidation or dissolution or any other case than by transfer, as the case may be). If the notice is not complied with within ninety days of being received or deemed to be received (as determined pursuant to the Articles), the Directors may thereafter withhold payment of all Dividends, other distributions, bonuses or other monies payable in respect of the Share until the requirements of the notice have been complied with.

17 Amendments of Memorandum and Articles of Association and Alteration of Capital

17.1 The Company may by Ordinary Resolution:

(a) increase its share capital by such sum as the Ordinary Resolution shall prescribe and with such rights, priorities and privileges annexed thereto, as the Company in general meeting may determine;

(b) consolidate and divide all or any of its share capital into Shares of larger amount than its existing Shares;

(c) convert all or any of its paid-up Shares into stock, and reconvert that stock into paid-up Shares of any denomination;

(d) by subdivision of its existing Shares or any of them divide the whole or any part of its share capital into Shares of smaller amount than is fixed by the Memorandum or into Shares without par value; and

Annex H-9

Table of Contents

(e) cancel any Shares that at the date of the passing of the Ordinary Resolution have not been taken or agreed to be taken by any person and diminish the amount of its share capital by the amount of the Shares so cancelled.

17.2 All new Shares created in accordance with the provisions of the preceding Article shall be subject to the same provisions of the Articles with reference to the payment of calls, liens, transfer, transmission, forfeiture and otherwise as the Shares in the original share capital.

17.3 Subject to the provisions of the Statute and the provisions of the Articles as regards the matters to be dealt with by Ordinary Resolution, the Company may by Special Resolution:

(a) change its name;

(b) alter or add to the Articles;

(c) alter or add to the Memorandum with respect to any objects, powers or other matters specified therein; and

(d) reduce its share capital or any capital redemption reserve fund.

18 Offices and Places of Business

Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company may by resolution of the Directors change the location of its Registered Office. The Company may, in addition to its Registered Office, maintain such other offices or places of business as the Directors determine.

19 General Meetings

19.1 All general meetings other than annual general meetings shall be called extraordinary general meetings.

19.2 The Company may, but shall not (unless required by the Statute) be obliged to, in each year hold a general meeting as its annual general meeting, and shall specify the meeting as such in the notices calling it. Any annual general meeting shall be held at such time and place as the Directors shall appoint. At these meetings the report of the Directors (if any) shall be presented.

19.3 The Directors may call general meetings, and they shall on a Members’ requisition forthwith proceed to convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Company.

19.4 A Members’ requisition is a requisition of Members holding at the date of deposit of the requisition not less than ten per cent. in par value of the issued Shares which as at the date carry the right to vote at general meetings of the Company.

19.5 The Members’ requisition must state the objects of the meeting and must be signed by the requisitionists and deposited at the Registered Office, and may consist of several documents in like form each signed by one or more requisitionists.

19.6 If there are no Directors as at the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition or if the Directors do not within twenty-one days from the date of the deposit of the Members’ requisition duly proceed to convene a general meeting to be held within a further twenty-one days, the requisitionists, or any of them representing more than one-half of the total voting rights of all of the requisitionists, may themselves convene a general meeting, but any meeting so convened shall be held no later than the day which falls three months after the expiration of the said twenty-one day period.

19.7 A general meeting convened as aforesaid by requisitionists shall be convened in the same manner as nearly as possible as that in which general meetings are to be convened by Directors.

20 Notice of General Meetings

20.1 At least five clear days’ notice shall be given of any general meeting. Every notice shall specify the place, the day and the hour of the meeting and the general nature of the business to be conducted at the general meeting and shall be given in the manner hereinafter mentioned or in such other manner if any as may be prescribed

Annex H-10

Table of Contents

by the Company, provided that a general meeting of the Company shall, whether or not the notice specified in this Article has been given and whether or not the provisions of the Articles regarding general meetings have been complied with, be deemed to have been duly convened if it is so agreed:

(a) in the case of an annual general meeting, by all of the Members entitled to attend and vote thereat; and

(b) in the case of an extraordinary general meeting, by a majority in number of the Members having a right to attend and vote at the meeting, together holding not less than ninety-five per cent. in par value of the Shares giving that right.

20.2 The accidental omission to give notice of a general meeting to, or the non receipt of notice of a general meeting by, any person entitled to receive such notice shall not invalidate the proceedings of that general meeting.

21 Proceedings at General Meetings

21.1 No business shall be transacted at any general meeting unless a quorum is present. The holders of a majority of the Shares being individuals present in person or by proxy or if a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy shall be a quorum unless the Company has only one Member entitled to vote at such general meeting in which case the quorum shall be that one Member present in person or by proxy or (in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person) by its duly authorised representative or proxy.

21.2 A person may participate at a general meeting by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other. Participation by a person in a general meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting.

21.3 A resolution (including a Special Resolution) in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by or on behalf of all of the Members for the time being entitled to receive notice of and to attend and vote at general meetings (or, being corporations or other non-natural persons, signed by their duly authorised representatives) shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a general meeting of the Company duly convened and held.

21.4 If a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence or if during such a meeting a quorum ceases to be present, the meeting, if convened upon a Members’ requisition, shall be dissolved and in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the same day in the next week at the same time and/or place or to such other day, time and/or place as the Directors may determine, and if at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not present within half an hour from the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall be a quorum.

21.5 The Directors may, at any time prior to the time appointed for the meeting to commence, appoint any person to act as chairman of a general meeting of the Company or, if the Directors do not make any such appointment, the chairman, if any, of the board of Directors shall preside as chairman at such general meeting. If there is no such chairman, or if he shall not be present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, or is unwilling to act, the Directors present shall elect one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

21.6 If no Director is willing to act as chairman or if no Director is present within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

21.7 The chairman may, with the consent of a meeting at which a quorum is present (and shall if so directed by the meeting) adjourn the meeting from time to time and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned meeting other than the business left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.

21.8 When a general meeting is adjourned for thirty days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of an adjourned meeting.

Annex H-11

Table of Contents

21.9 When a general meeting is postponed for thirty days or more, notice of the postponed meeting shall be given as in the case of an original meeting. Otherwise it shall not be necessary to give any such notice of a postponed meeting. All proxy forms submitted for the original general meeting shall remain valid for the postponed meeting. The Directors may postpone a general meeting which has already been postponed.

21.10 A resolution put to the vote of the meeting shall be decided on a show of hands unless before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands, the chairman demands a poll, or any other Member or Members collectively present in person or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natura person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy) and holding at least ten per cent. in par value of the Shares giving a right to attend and vote at the meeting demand a poll.

21.11 Unless a poll is duly demanded and the demand is not withdrawn a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has been carried or carried unanimously, or by a particular majority, or lost or not carried by a particular majority, an entry to that effect in the minutes of the proceedings of the meeting shall be conclusive evidence of that fact without proof of the number or proportion of the votes recorded in favour of or against such resolution.

21.12 The demand for a poll may be withdrawn.

21.13 Except on a poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment, a poll shall be taken as the chairman directs, and the result of the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the general meeting at which the poll was demanded.

21.14 A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall be taken forthwith. A poll demanded on any other question shall be taken at such date, time and place as the chairman of the general meeting directs, and any business other than that upon which a poll has been demanded or is contingent thereon may proceed pending the taking of the poll.

21.15 In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, the chairman shall be entitled to a second or casting vote.

22 Votes of Members

22.1 Subject to any rights or restrictions attached to any Shares, on a show of hands every Member who (being an individual) is present in person or by proxy or, if a corporation or other non-natural person is present by its duly authorised representative or by proxy, shall have one vote and on a poll every Member present in any such manner shall have one vote for every Share of which he is the holder.

22.2 In the case of joint holders the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy (or, in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person, by its duly authorised representative or proxy), shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names of the holders stand in the Register of Members.

22.3 A Member of unsound mind, or in respect of whom an order has been made by any court, having jurisdiction in lunacy, may vote, whether on a show of hands or on a poll, by his committee, receiver, curator bonis, or other person on such Member’s behalf appointed by that court, and any such committee, receiver, curator bonis or other person may vote by proxy.

22.4 No person shall be entitled to vote at any general meeting unless he is registered as a Member on the record date for such meeting nor unless all calls or other monies then payable by him in respect of Shares have been paid.

22.5 No objection shall be raised as to the qualification of any voter except at the general meeting or adjourned general meeting at which the vote objected to is given or tendered and every vote not disallowed at the meeting shall be valid. Any objection made in due time in accordance with this Article shall be referred to the chairman whose decision shall be final and conclusive.

22.6 On a poll or on a show of hands votes may be cast either personally or by proxy (or in the case of a corporation or other non-natural person by its duly authorised representative or proxy). A Member may appoint more than one proxy or the same proxy under one or more instruments to attend and vote at a meeting. Where a Member

Annex H-12

Table of Contents

appoints more than one proxy the instrument of proxy shall state which proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands and shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each proxy is entitled to exercise the related votes.

22.7 On a poll, a Member holding more than one Share need not cast the votes in respect of his Shares in the same way on any resolution and therefore may vote a Share or some or all such Shares either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares and, subject to the terms of the instrument appointing him, a proxy appointed under one or more instruments may vote a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed either for or against a resolution and/or abstain from voting a Share or some or all of the Shares in respect of which he is appointed.

23 Proxies

23.1 The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation or other non natural person, under the hand of its duly authorised representative. A proxy need not be a Member.

23.2 The Directors may, in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting, or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, specify the manner by which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited and the place and the time (being not later than the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting to which the proxy relates) at which the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited. In the absence of any such direction from the Directors in the notice convening any meeting or adjourned meeting or in an instrument of proxy sent out by the Company, the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited physically at the Registered Office not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the meeting or adjourned meeting to commence at which the person named in the instrument proposes to vote.

23.3 The chairman may in any event at his discretion declare that an instrument of proxy shall be deemed to have been duly deposited. An instrument of proxy that is not deposited in the manner permitted, or which has not been declared to have been duly deposited by the chairman, shall be invalid.

23.4 The instrument appointing a proxy may be in any usual or common form (or such other form as the Directors may approve) and may be expressed to be for a particular meeting or any adjournment thereof or generally until revoked. An instrument appointing a proxy shall be deemed to include the power to demand or join or concur in demanding a poll.

23.5 Votes given in accordance with the terms of an instrument of proxy shall be valid notwithstanding the previous death or insanity of the principal or revocation of the proxy or of the authority under which the proxy was executed, or the transfer of the Share in respect of which the proxy is given unless notice in writing of such death, insanity, revocation or transfer was received by the Company at the Registered Office before the commencement of the general meeting, or adjourned meeting at which it is sought to use the proxy.

24 Corporate Members

Any corporation or other non-natural person which is a Member may in accordance with its constitutional documents, or in the absence of such provision by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorise such person as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of the Company or of any class of Members, and the person so authorised shall be entitled to exercise the same powers on behalf of the corporation which he represents as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual Member.

25 Shares that May Not be Voted

Shares in the Company that are beneficially owned by the Company shall not be voted, directly or indirectly, at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding Shares at any given time.

26 Directors

There shall be a board of Directors consisting of not less than one person (exclusive of alternate Directors) provided however that the Company may by Ordinary Resolution increase or reduce the limits in the number of Directors.

Annex H-13

Table of Contents

27 Powers of Directors

27.1 Subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Memorandum and the Articles and to any directions given by Special Resolution, the business of the Company shall be managed by the Directors who may exercise all the powers of the Company. No alteration of the Memorandum or Articles and no such direction shall invalidate any prior act of the Directors which would have been valid if that alteration had not been made or that direction had not been given. A duly convened meeting of Directors at which a quorum is present may exercise all powers exercisable by the Directors.

27.2 All cheques, promissory notes, drafts, bills of exchange and other negotiable or transferable instruments and all receipts for monies paid to the Company shall be signed, drawn, accepted, endorsed or otherwise executed as the case may be in such manner as the Directors shall determine by resolution.

27.3 The Directors on behalf of the Company may pay a gratuity or pension or allowance on retirement to any Director who has held any other salaried office or place of profit with the Company or to his widow or dependants and may make contributions to any fund and pay premiums for the purchase or provision of any such gratuity, pension or allowance.

27.4 The Directors may exercise all the powers of the Company to borrow money and to mortgage or charge its undertaking, property and assets (present and future) and uncalled capital or any part thereof and to issue debentures, debenture stock, mortgages, bonds and other such securities whether outright or as security for any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or of any third party.

28 Appointment and Removal of Directors

28.1 The Company may by Ordinary Resolution appoint any person to be a Director or may by Ordinary Resolution remove any Director.

28.2 The Directors may appoint any person to be a Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director provided that the appointment does not cause the number of Directors to exceed any number fixed by or in accordance with the Articles as the maximum number of Directors.

29 Vacation of Office of Director

The office of a Director shall be vacated if:

(a) the Director gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns the office of Director; or

(b) the Director absents himself (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy or an alternate Director appointed by him) from three consecutive meetings of the board of Directors without special leave of absence from the Directors, and the Directors pass a resolution that he has by reason of such absence vacated office; or

(c) the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with his creditors generally; or

(d) the Director is found to be or becomes of unsound mind; or

(e) all of the other Directors (being not less than two in number) determine that he should be removed as a Director, either by a resolution passed by all of the other Directors at a meeting of the Directors duly convened and held in accordance with the Articles or by a resolution in writing signed by all of the other Directors.

30 Proceedings of Directors

30.1 The quorum for the transaction of the business of the Directors may be fixed by the Directors, and unless so fixed shall be a majority of the Directors then in office. If there is only one Director, then the quorum shall be one Director. A person who holds office as an alternate Director shall, if his appointer is not present, be counted in the quorum. A Director who also acts as an alternate Director shall, if his appointer is not present, count twice towards the quorum.

Annex H-14

Table of Contents

30.2 Subject to the provisions of the Articles, the Directors may regulate their proceedings as they think fit. Questions arising at any meeting shall be decided by a majority of votes. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairman shall not have a second or casting vote. A Director who is also an alternate Director shall be entitled in the absence of his appointer to a separate vote on behalf of his appointer in addition to his own vote.

30.3 A person may participate in a meeting of the Directors or any committee of Directors by conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all the persons participating in the meeting can communicate with each other at the same time. Participation by a person in a meeting in this manner is treated as presence in person at that meeting. Unless otherwise determined by the Directors, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the place where the chairman is located at the start of the meeting.

30.4 A resolution in writing (in one or more counterparts) signed by all the Directors or all the members of a committee of the Directors or, in the case of a resolution in writing relating to the removal of any Director or the vacation of office by any Director, all of the Directors other than the Director who is the subject of such resolution (an alternate Director being entitled to sign such a resolution on behalf of his appointor and if such alternate Director is also a Director, being entitled to sign such resolution both on behalf of his appointer and in his capacity as a Director) shall be as valid and effectual as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Directors, or committee of Directors as the case may be, duly convened and held.

30.5 A Director or alternate Director may, or other Officer on the direction of a Director or alternate Director shall, call a meeting of the Directors by at least two days’ notice in writing to every Director and alternate Director which notice shall set forth the general nature of the business to be considered unless notice is waived by all the Directors (or their alternate Directors) either at, before or after the meeting is held. To any such notice of a meeting of the Directors all the provisions of the Articles relating to the giving of notices by the Company to the Members shall apply mutatis mutandis.

30.6 The continuing Directors (or a sole continuing Director, as the case may be) may act notwithstanding any vacancy in their body, but if and so long as their number is reduced below the number fixed by or pursuant to the Articles as the necessary quorum of Directors the continuing Directors or Director may act for the purpose of increasing the number of Directors to be equal to such fixed number, or of summoning a general meeting of the Company, but for no other purpose.

30.7 The Directors may elect a chairman of their board and determine the period for which he is to hold office; but if no such chairman is elected, or if at any meeting the chairman is not present within five minutes after the time appointed for the meeting to commence, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairman of the meeting.

30.8 All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors (including any person acting as an alternate Director) shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any Director or alternate Director, and/or that they or any of them were disqualified, and/or had vacated their office and/or were not entitled to vote, be as valid as if every such person had been duly appointed and/or not disqualified to be a Director or alternate Director and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

30.9 A Director but not an alternate Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by him. The proxy shall count towards the quorum and the vote of the proxy shall for all purposes be deemed to be that of the appointing Director.

31 Presumption of Assent

A Director or alternate Director who is present at a meeting of the board of Directors at which action on any Company matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action taken unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairman or secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall forward such dissent by registered post to such person immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Director or alternate Director who voted in favour of such action.

32.4 No person shall be disqualified from the office of Director or alternate Director or prevented by such office from contracting with the Company, either as vendor, purchaser or otherwise, nor shall any such contract or any contract or transaction entered into by or on behalf of the Company in which any Director or alternate Director shall be in any way interested be or be liable to be avoided, nor shall any Director or alternate Director so contracting or being so interested be liable to account to the Company for any profit realised by or arising in connection with any such contract or transaction by reason of such Director or alternate Director holding office or of the fiduciary relationship thereby established. A Director (or his/her alternate Director in his/her absence) shall be at liberty to vote in respect of any contract or transaction in which he is interested provided that the nature of the interest of any Director or alternate Director in any such contract or transaction shall be disclosed by him at or prior to its consideration and any vote thereon.

32.5 A general notice that a Director or alternate Director is a shareholder, director, officer or employee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company shall be sufficient disclosure for the purposes of voting on a resolution in respect of a contract or transaction in which he has an interest, and after such general notice it shall not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.

33 Minutes

The Directors shall cause minutes to be made in books kept for the purpose of recording all appointments of Officers made by the Directors, all proceedings at meetings of the Company or the holders of any class of Shares and of the Directors, and of committees of the Directors, including the names of the Directors or alternate Director present at each meeting.

34.5 The Directors may appoint such Officers as they consider necessary on such terms, at such remuneration and to perform such duties, and subject to such provisions as to disqualification and removal as the Directors may think fit. Unless otherwise specified in the terms of his appointment an Officer may be removed by resolution of the Directors or Members. An Officer may vacate his office at any time if he gives notice in writing to the Company that he resigns his office.

35 Alternate Directors

35.1 Any Director (but not an alternate Director) may by writing appoint any other Director, or any other person willing to act, to be an alternate Director and by writing may remove from office an alternate Director so appointed by him.

35.3 An alternate Director shall cease to be an alternate Director if his appointor ceases to be a Director.

35.4 Any appointment or removal of an alternate Director shall be by notice to the Company signed by the Director making or revoking the appointment or in any other manner approved by the Directors.

37 Remuneration of Directors

37.1 The remuneration to be paid to the Directors, if any, shall be such remuneration as the Directors shall determine. The Directors shall also be entitled to be paid all travelling, hotel and other expenses properly incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings of Directors or committees of Directors, or general meetings of the Company, or separate meetings of the holders of any class of Shares or debentures of the Company, or otherwise in connection with the business of the Company or the discharge of their duties as a Director, or to receive a fixed allowance in respect thereof as may be determined by the Directors, or a combination partly of one such method and partly the other.

37.2 The Directors may by resolution approve additional remuneration to any Director for any services which in the opinion of the Directors go beyond his ordinary routine work as a Director. Any fees paid to a Director who is also counsel, attorney or solicitor to the Company, or otherwise serves it in a professional capacity shall be in addition to his remuneration as a Director.

Annex H-17

38 Seal

38.1 The Company may, if the Directors so determine, have a Seal. The Seal shall only be used by the authority of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors authorised by the Directors. Every instrument to which the Seal has been affixed shall be signed by at least one person who shall be either a Director or some Officer or other person appointed by the Directors for the purpose.

38.2 The Company may have for use in any place or places outside the Cayman Islands a duplicate Seal or Seals each of which shall be a facsimile of the common Seal of the Company and, if the Directors so determine, with the addition on its face of the name of every place where it is to be used.

38.3 A Director or Officer, representative or attorney of the Company may without further authority of the Directors affix the Seal over his signature alone to any document of the Company required to be authenticated by him under seal or to be filed with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere wheresoever.

39 Dividends, Distributions and Reserve

39.1 Subject to the Statute and this Article and except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, the Directors may resolve to pay Dividends and other distributions on Shares in issue and authorise payment of the Dividends or other distributions out of the funds of the Company lawfully available therefor. A Dividend shall be deemed to be an interim Dividend unless the terms of the resolution pursuant to which the Directors resolve to pay such Dividend specifically state that such Dividend shall be a final Dividend. No Dividend or other distribution shall be paid except out of the realised or unrealised profits of the Company, out of the share premium account or as otherwise permitted by law.

39.2 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, all Dividends and other distributions shall be paid according to the par value of the Shares that a Member holds. If any Share is issued on terms providing that it shall rank for Dividend as from a particular date, that Share shall rank for Dividend accordingly.

39.3 The Directors may deduct from any Dividend or other distribution payable to any Member all sums of money (if any) then payable by him to the Company on account of calls or otherwise.

39.4 The Directors may resolve that any Dividend or other distribution be paid wholly or partly by the distribution of specific assets and in particular (but without limitation) by the distribution of shares, debentures, or securities of any other company or in any one or more of such ways and where any difficulty arises in regard to such distribution, the Directors may settle the same as they think expedient and in particular may issue fractional Shares and may fix the value for distribution of such specific assets or any part thereof and may determine that cash payments shall be made to any Members upon the basis of the value so fixed in order to adjust the rights of all Members and may vest any such specific assets in trustees in such manner as may seem expedient to the Directors.

39.5 Except as otherwise provided by the rights attached to any Shares, Dividends and other distributions may be paid in any currency. The Directors may determine the basis of conversion for any currency conversions that may be required and how any costs involved are to be met.

39.6 The Directors may, before resolving to pay any Dividend or other distribution, set aside such sums as they think proper as a reserve or reserves which shall, at the discretion of the Directors, be applicable for any purpose of the Company and pending such application may, at the discretion of the Directors, be employed in the business of the Company.

39.7 Any Dividend, other distribution, interest or other monies payable in cash in respect of Shares may be paid by wire transfer to the holder or by cheque or warrant sent through the post directed to the registered address of the holder or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of the holder who is first named on the Register of Members or to such person and to such address as such holder or joint holders may in writing direct. Every such cheque or warrant shall be made payable to the order of the person to whom it is sent. Any one of two or more joint holders may give effectual receipts for any Dividends, other distributions, bonuses, or other monies payable in respect of the Share held by them as joint holders.

39.8 No Dividend or other distribution shall bear interest against the Company.

Annex H-18

Table of Contents

39.9 Any Dividend or other distribution which cannot be paid to a Member and/or which remains unclaimed after six months from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable may, in the discretion of the Directors, be paid into a separate account in the Company’s name, provided that the Company shall not be constituted as a trustee in respect of that account and the Dividend or other distribution shall remain as a debt due to the Member. Any Dividend or other distribution which remains unclaimed after a period of six years from the date on which such Dividend or other distribution becomes payable shall be forfeited and shall revert to the Company.

40 Capitalisation

The Directors may at any time capitalise any sum standing to the credit of any of the Company’s reserve accounts or funds (including the share premium account and capital redemption reserve fund) or any sum standing to the credit of the profit and loss account or otherwise available for distribution; appropriate such sum to Members in the proportions in which such sum would have been divisible amongst such Members had the same been a distribution of profits by way of Dividend or other distribution; and apply such sum on their behalf in paying up in full unissued Shares for allotment and distribution credited as fully paid-up to and amongst them in the proportion aforesaid. In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power given to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit in the case of Shares becoming distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned). The Directors may authorise any person to enter on behalf of all of the Members interested into an agreement with the Company providing for such capitalisation and matters incidental or relating thereto and any agreement made under such authority shall be effective and binding on all such Members and the Company.

41 Books of Account

41.1 The Directors shall cause proper books of account (including, where applicable, material underlying documentation including contracts and invoices) to be kept with respect to all sums of money received and expended by the Company and the matters in respect of which the receipt or expenditure takes place, all sales and purchases of goods by the Company and the assets and liabilities of the Company. Such books of account must be retained for a minimum period of five years from the date on which they are prepared. Proper books shall not be deemed to be kept if there are not kept such books of account as are necessary to give a true and fair view of the state of the Company’s affairs and to explain its transactions.

41.2 The Directors shall determine whether and to what extent and at what times and places and under what conditions or regulations the accounts and books of the Company or any of them shall be open to the inspection of Members not being Directors and no Member (not being a Director) shall have any right of inspecting any account or book or document of the Company except as conferred by Statute or authorised by the Directors or by the Company in general meeting.

41.3 The Directors may cause to be prepared and to be laid before the Company in general meeting profit and loss accounts, balance sheets, group accounts (if any) and such other reports and accounts as may be required by law.

42 Audit

42.1 The Directors may appoint an Auditor of the Company who shall hold office on such terms as the Directors determine.

42.2 Every Auditor of the Company shall have a right of access at all times to the books and accounts and vouchers of the Company and shall be entitled to require from the Directors and Officers such information and explanation as may be necessary for the performance of the duties of the Auditor.

42.3 Auditors shall, if so required by the Directors, make a report on the accounts of the Company during their tenure of office at the next annual general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an ordinary company, and at the next extraordinary general meeting following their appointment in the case of a company which is registered with the Registrar of Companies as an exempted company, and at any other time during their term of office, upon request of the Directors or any general meeting of the Members.

43 Notices

43.1 Notices shall be in writing and may be given by the Company to any Member either personally or by sending it by courier, post, cable, telex, fax or e-mail to him or to his address as shown in the Register of Members (or where the notice is given by e-mail by sending it to the e-mail address provided by such Member).

43.2 Where a notice is sent by:

(a) courier; service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by delivery of the notice to a courier company, and shall be deemed to have been received on the third day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays) following the day on which the notice was delivered to the courier;

(b) post; service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing, prepaying and posting a letter containing the notice, and shall be deemed to have been received on the fifth day (not including Saturdays or Sundays or public holidays in the Cayman Islands) following the day on which the notice was posted;

(c) cable, telex or fax; service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by properly addressing and sending such notice and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was transmitted; and

(d)e-mail; service of the notice shall be deemed to be effected by transmitting the e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the intended recipient and shall be deemed to have been received on the same day that it was sent, and it shall not be necessary for the receipt of the e-mail to be acknowledged by the recipient.

43.3 A notice may be given by the Company to the person or persons which the Company has been advised are entitled to a Share or Shares in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of a Member in the same manner as other notices which are required to be given under the Articles and shall be addressed to them by name, or by the title of representatives of the deceased, or trustee of the bankrupt, or by any like description at the address supplied for that purpose by the persons claiming to be so entitled, or at the option of the Company by giving the notice in any manner in which the same might have been given if the death or bankruptcy had not occurred.

43.4 Notice of every general meeting shall be given in any manner authorised by the Articles to every holder of Shares carrying an entitlement to receive such notice on the record date for such meeting except that in the case of joint holders the notice shall be sufficient if given to the joint holder first named in the Register of Members and every person upon whom the ownership of a Share devolves by reason of his being a legal personal representative or a trustee in bankruptcy of a Member where the Member but for his death or bankruptcy would be entitled to receive notice of the meeting, and no other person shall be entitled to receive notices of general meetings.

44 Winding Up

44.1 If the Company shall be wound up, the liquidator shall apply the assets of the Company in satisfaction of creditors’ claims in such manner and order as such liquidator thinks fit. Subject to the rights attaching to any Shares, in a winding up:

(a) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be insufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital, such assets shall be distributed so that, as nearly as may be, the losses shall be borne by the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them; or

(b) if the assets available for distribution amongst the Members shall be more than sufficient to repay the whole of the Company’s issued share capital at the commencement of the winding up, the surplus shall be distributed amongst the Members in proportion to the par value of the Shares held by them at the commencement of the winding up subject to a deduction from those Shares in respect of which there are monies due, of all monies payable to the Company for unpaid calls or otherwise.

44.2 If the Company shall be wound up the liquidator may, subject to the rights attaching to any Shares and with the approval of a Special Resolution of the Company and any other approval required by the Statute, divide amongst the Members in kind the whole or any part of the assets of the Company (whether such assets shall consist of property of the same kind or not) and may for that purpose value any assets and determine how

Annex H-20

Table of Contents

the division shall be carried out as between the Members or different classes of Members. The liquidator may, with the like approval, vest the whole or any part of such assets in trustees upon such trusts for the benefit of the Members as the liquidator, with the like approval, shall think fit, but so that no Member shall be compelled to accept any asset upon which there is a liability.

45 Indemnity and Insurance

45.1 Every Director and Officer (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include auditors of the Company), together with every former Director and former Officer (each an “Indemnified Person”) shall be indemnified out of the assets of the Company against any liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages or expenses, including legal expenses, whatsoever which they or any of them may incur as a result of any act or failure to act in carrying out their functions other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default. No Indemnified Person shall be liable to the Company for any loss or damage incurred by the Company as a result (whether direct or indirect) of the carrying out of their functions unless that liability arises through the actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default of such Indemnified Person. No person shall be found to have committed actual fraud, wilful neglect or wilful default under this Article unless or until a court of competent jurisdiction shall have made a finding to that effect.

45.2 The Company shall advance to each Indemnified Person reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defence of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation involving such Indemnified Person for which indemnity will or could be sought. In connection with any advance of any expenses hereunder, the Indemnified Person shall execute an undertaking to repay the advanced amount to the Company if it shall be determined by final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article. If it shall be determined by a final judgment or other final adjudication that such Indemnified Person was not entitled to indemnification with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses, then such party shall not be indemnified with respect to such judgment, costs or expenses and any advancement shall be returned to the Company (without interest) by the Indemnified Person.

45.3 The Directors, on behalf of the Company, may purchase and maintain insurance for the benefit of any Director or Officer against any liability which, by virtue of any rule of law, would otherwise attach to such person in respect of any negligence, default, breach of duty or breach of trust of which such person may be guilty in relation to the Company.

46 Financial Year

Unless the Directors otherwise prescribe, the financial year of the Company shall end on 31 st December in each year and, following the year of incorporation, shall begin on 1 st January in each year.

47 Transfer by Way of Continuation

If the Company is exempted as defined in the Statute, it shall, subject to the provisions of the Statute and with the approval of a Special Resolution, have the power to register by way of continuation as a body corporate under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands and to be deregistered in the Cayman Islands.

48 Mergers and Consolidations

The Company shall have the power to merge or consolidate with one or more other constituent companies (as defined in the Statute) upon such terms as the Directors may determine and (to the extent required by the Statute) with the approval of a Special Resolution.

49 Certain Tax Filings

Each Tax Filing Authorised Person and any such other person, acting alone, as any Director shall designate from time to time, are authorised to file or execute and provide United States Internal Revenue Service tax forms SS-4, W-8 BEN, W-8 IMY, W-9, 8832 and 2553 and such other similar tax forms as are customary to file with any US state or federal governmental authorities or foreign governmental authorities, or provide to withholding agents in connection with the formation, activities and/or elections of the Company and such other tax forms as may be approved from time to time by any Director or Officer. The Company further ratifies and approves any such filing made by any Tax Filing Authorised Person or such other person prior to the date of the Articles.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of directors and officers

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.

The CayCo Listing Articles permit indemnification of officers and directors from and against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, losses, damages and liabilities which they or any of them, their or any of their personal representatives, incurred or sustained by them, other than by reason of their own dishonesty, willful default or fraud, in or about the conduct of CayCo’s business or affairs (including as a result of any mistake of judgment) or in the execution or discharge of their duties, powers, authorities or discretions, including without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities incurred by such director or officer in defending (whether successfully or otherwise) any civil proceedings concerning CayCo or its affairs in any court whether in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling our company under the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 22. Undertakings

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

• To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

• To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

• To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement;

• To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

• That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

• To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

• To file a post-effective amendment to the registration statement to include any financial statements required by Item 8.A of Form 20-F at the start of any delayed offering or throughout a continuous offering. Financial statements and information otherwise required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Act need not be furnished, provided that the registrant includes in the prospectus, by means of a post-effective amendment, financial statements required pursuant to this paragraph (1)(d) and other information necessary to ensure that all other information in the prospectus is at least as current as the date of those financial statements.

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

• Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

• Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

• The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

• Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

The registrant undertakes that every prospectus: (a) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (b) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities

II-3

Table of Contents

Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes (i) to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means; and (ii) to arrange or provide for a facility in the U.S. for the purpose of responding to such requests. The undertaking in subparagraph (i) above includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
