PROXY STATEMENT FOR EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
PLUM ACQUISITION CORP. I
(A CAYMAN ISLANDS EXEMPTED COMPANY)

PROSPECTUS FOR
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK,
WARRANTS TO PURCHASE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK AND SHARES OF COMMON STOCK UNDERLYING WARRANTS OF PLUM ACQUISITION CORP. I
(AFTER ITS DOMESTICATION AS A CORPORATION INCORPORATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND RENAMING AS TO BE DETERMINED IN CONNECTION WITH THE DOMESTICATION AS DESCRIBED HEREIN)

_____________________

The board of directors of Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum,” “we,” “us” or “our”), has unanimously approved that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated November 27, 2023 (as the same has been or may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Plum, Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), and Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A.

If the Business Combination Agreement is approved by Plum’s shareholders and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are consummated, the following will occur: (i) the domestication of Plum as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), the Cayman Islands Companies Act (As Revised) (the “Companies Act”), and the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended, of Plum (as may be amended from time to time, the “Existing Governing Documents”), in which Plum will de-register from the Register of Companies in the Cayman Islands by way of continuation out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware so as to migrate to and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents, Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Companies Act (the “Domestication”), and (ii) the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into Veea, pursuant to which, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Closing”), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and Veea will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and in accordance with the DGCL, as more fully described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (collectively, the “Business Combination”), Plum’s name will be changed to a name to be mutually agreed by Plum and Veea. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, “New Plum” refers to Plum after giving effect to the Domestication.

In connection with the Domestication, (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Plum Class A ordinary shares”), and each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Plum Class B ordinary shares”), of Plum will convert, on a one-for-one basis, into a duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Plum (the “New Plum Common Stock”); (ii) each issued and outstanding whole Warrant to purchase Plum Class A ordinary shares will automatically represent the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus); (iii) each issued and outstanding Unit of Plum that has not been previously separated into the underlying Plum Class A ordinary shares and underlying one-fifth of one warrant upon the request of the holder thereof, will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Plum Common Stock and one-fifth of one New Plum Warrant, with a whole New Plum Warrant representing the right to acquire one share of New Plum Common Stock; (iv) the governing documents of Plum will be amended and restated and become the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of New Plum as described in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (v) the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of New Plum will be appropriately adjusted to give effect to any amendments contemplated by the form of certificate of incorporation or the form of bylaws that are not adopted and approved by the Plum shareholders, other than the amendments to the Plum governing documents that are contemplated by the Charter Proposal (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus), which is a condition to the Closing of the Business Combination. No fractional warrants will be issued upon the separation of Units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you hold at least five Units of Plum, you will not be able to receive or trade a warrant when the Units are separated.

Table of Contents

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of Veea’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Veea Common Stock”), and each outstanding share of Veea’s Series A preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share, and Series A-1 preferred stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Veea Series A-1 Preferred Stock”), on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities (each as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) and treasury shares (such outstanding Veea Common Stock and Veea Series A-1 Preferred Stock, the “Existing Veea Shares”), will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.

The Business Combination Agreement also provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock (the “Earnout Consideration”), subject to the following contingencies:

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period; and

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period.

If there is a Change of Control Transaction (as defined in the proxy statement/prospectus) during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq Capital Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, (i) the Veea Stockholders (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) will own, collectively, approximately % of the outstanding New Plum Common Stock, and (ii) Plum’s Initial Shareholders (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) will own approximately % of the outstanding New Plum Common Stock, in each case, assuming that none of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, or approximately % and %, respectively, assuming that all of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. See “Business Combination Proposal — Ownership of New Plum” for more details.

This proxy statement/prospectus covers shares of New Plum Common Stock (including shares that are to be issued or may be issuable upon exercise of the Plum Warrants). The number of shares of New Plum Common Stock that this proxy statement/prospectus covers is the maximum number of shares that may be issued to Veea Stockholders and the maximum number of shares issued or issuable to the existing shareholders and Warrant holders of Plum, in each case, in connection with the Business Combination.

Plum’s Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants are currently listed on the Nasdaq under the symbols “PLMIU,” “PLMI,” and “PLMIW,” respectively. Plum will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of the New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants on Nasdaq under the proposed symbols “ ” and “ W.” It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that Plum (i) shall not have received any notice of non-compliance from Nasdaq, (ii) the New Plum Common Stock shall have been approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, and (iii) Plum shall satisfy all applicable initial and continuing listing requirements of Nasdaq. There can be no assurance such listing condition will be met or that

Table of Contents

Plum will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq, and you may not know whether the listing condition has been met at the time of the extraordinary general meeting. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the listing condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by Veea.

Plum will hold an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) to consider matters relating to the Business Combination at , Eastern Time, on , 2024. For the purposes of the Cayman Islands Companies Law and the Existing Governing Documents, the physical location of the Extraordinary General Meeting shall be at the offices of Hogan Lovells US LLP located at 390 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, or you or your proxyholder will be able to attend and vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting online by visiting and using a control number assigned by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company. To register and receive access to the Extraordinary General Meeting, registered shareholders and beneficial shareholders (those holding shares through a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other holder of record) will need to follow the instructions applicable to them provided in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Plum is an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, and has elected to take advantage of certain reduced public company reporting requirements. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Emerging Growth Company.”

This proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of Plum with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. In particular, when you consider the recommendation of the board of directors of Plum to vote in favor of the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should keep in mind that Plum’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, in addition to or may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. For instance, Plum Partners LLC (the “Sponsor”), and the officers and directors of Plum who have invested in the Sponsor entity, will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to shareholders rather than liquidate. See the section entitled “Interests of Plum’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 30 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

PLUM ACQUISITION CORP. I

A Cayman Islands Exempted Company
(Company Number 370077)

San Francisco, California 94115

Dear Plum Acquisition Corp. I Shareholders:

You are cordially invited to attend the extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary General Meeting”) of Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“Plum” and, after the Domestication, as described below, “New Plum”), at , on , 2024, at the offices of Hogan Lovells US LLP located at 390 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned. We are also planning for the meeting to be held virtually over the Internet, but the physical location of the meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, in connection with the Domestication, on the Closing Date but after the Redemption of the shareholders of Plum and prior to the Effective Time, among other things, (i) all of the outstanding shares of Plum will be converted into common stock of a Delaware corporation and all of the outstanding Plum Warrants will be converted into New Plum Warrants to purchase common stock of a Delaware corporation, and (ii) the governing documents of Plum will be amended and restated.

At the Extraordinary General Meeting, Plum shareholders will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal” to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated November 27, 2023 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Plum, Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea” or the “Company”) and Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, including the transactions contemplated thereby, and to vote upon a proposal to approve the Domestication, which is referred to herein as the “Domestication Proposal.”

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur:

(1) Following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in such merger (the “Merger”) and, as a result of the Merger, Veea will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plum (for further details, see “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal.”).

(2) On the Closing Date but after the Redemption of the shareholders of Plum and prior to the Effective Time, Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”) (for further details, see “Proposal No. 2 — The Domestication Proposal”). In connection with the Domestication, Plum’s name will be changed to a name to be mutually agreed by Plum and Veea.

(3) In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each Existing Veea Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of New Plum (“New Plum Common Stock”) equal to $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00. The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

Table of Contents

In addition to the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal, you will also be asked to consider and vote upon:

(a) a proposal to adopt the proposed new certificate of incorporation of New Plum upon the Domestication (the “Proposed Charter”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C, and to adopt the Proposed Bylaws attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D, which is referred to herein as the “Charter Proposal”;

(b) seven (7) separate proposals to approve material differences between Plum’s existing amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Existing Governing Documents”), and the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws, which are referred to herein collectively as “The Advisory Charter Proposals”;

(c) a proposal to approve, for the purpose of complying with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of New Plum Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, plus any additional shares pursuant to subscription agreements we or Veea may enter into prior to Closing, which is referred to herein as the “Nasdaq Proposal”;

(d) a proposal to approve and adopt the Incentive Equity Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I, which is referred to herein as the “Incentive Equity Plan Proposal”;

(e) a proposal to approve and adopt the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex J, which is referred to herein as the “ESPP Proposal”;

(f) a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the election of seven directors, who, upon consummation of the Business Combination will serve staggered terms on New Plum’s board of directors until the 2025, 2026 and 2027 annual meeting of stockholders of New Plum, respectively, and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, which is referred to herein as the “Election of Directors Proposal”; and

(g) a proposal to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to the extent necessary, which is referred to herein as the “Adjournment Proposal.”

The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, and the Election of Directors Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. The Advisory Charter Proposals are conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

The Adjournment Proposal provides for a vote to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is provided to Plum shareholders or, if as of the time for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient Plum Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Extraordinary General Meeting or (B) in order to solicit additional proxies from Plum shareholders in favor of one or more of the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been or will be entered into on or prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, including the Registration Rights Agreement, the Stockholder Support Agreements, the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Veea Lock-Up Agreements, the Plum Lock-Up Agreements, the Incentive Equity Plan, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a holder of Plum’s Public Shares (a “Public Shareholder”) may request that Plum redeem all or a portion of such Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. In order to redeem Public Shares underlying Units, holders of Units must elect to separate their Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption rights with respect to such Public Shares. Holders that hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), Plum’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct it to do so. The Redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares regardless of whether they vote “for” or “against” the Business Combination Proposal, or do not vote at all, and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, Plum will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account established at the consummation of Plum’s Initial Public Offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on approximately $ million of funds in the Trust Account and shares subject to possible Redemption, in each case, as of , 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $ per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its Redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum — Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement (each as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), agreed to, among other things, vote all of its Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and not to redeem any Public Shares it owns. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, in no event will Plum redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause New Plum’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Plum is providing the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card to Plum’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and at any adjournments of the Extraordinary General Meeting. Information about the Extraordinary General Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by Plum’s shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, all of Plum’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, 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 30 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Table of Contents

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Plum has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and Domestication, and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and the Domestication, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to Plum’s shareholders in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the board of directors of Plum, you should keep in mind that Plum’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal and Charter Proposal each require a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (662/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, each Advisory Charter Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The Election of Directors Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. 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. The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. Additionally, the Advisory Charter Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Charter Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on the approval of any other proposal set forth in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

ALL HOLDERS OF PUBLIC SHARES HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE THEIR PUBLIC SHARES REDEEMED FOR CASH IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED BUSINESS COMBINATION. PUBLIC SHAREHOLDERS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO AFFIRMATIVELY VOTE FOR OR AGAINST THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL, TO VOTE ON THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL AT ALL, OR TO BE HOLDERS OF RECORD ON THE RECORD DATE IN ORDER TO HAVE THEIR SHARES REDEEMED FOR CASH.

These items of business are described in more detail in this proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of Ordinary Shares at the close of business on , 2024 are entitled to notice of and to vote and have their votes counted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and any adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting.

This proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card is being provided to Plum’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting and at any adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, all of Plum’s shareholders are urged to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 30 of this proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of Plum has unanimously approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and Domestication, and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the Business Combination Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger and Domestication, and “FOR” all other proposals presented to Plum’s shareholders in this proxy statement/prospectus. When you consider the recommendation of these proposals by the board of directors of Plum, you should keep in mind that Plum’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a further discussion of these considerations.

Table of Contents

Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that Plum redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i) (a) hold Public Shares or (b) if you hold Public Shares through Units, you elect to separate your Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in which you (i) request that Plum redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (iii) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”); and

(iii) deliver your certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the Redemption forms to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to , Eastern Time, on , 2024 (two business days before the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. Public holders that hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct them to do so. The Redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem Public Shares regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, New Plum will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the trust account established at the consummation of Plum’s Initial Public Offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on approximately $ million of funds in the Trust Account and shares subject to possible Redemption, in each case, as of , 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $ per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its Redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. The Redemption will take place following the Domestication and, accordingly, it is shares of New Plum Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum — Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

Our Initial Shareholders have, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, agreed to, among other things, vote all of their Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and not to redeem any Public Shares they own.

Table of Contents

Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Shareholders own % of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, in addition to the shares held by Initial Shareholders, Plum would need Public Shares, or approximately % of the shares sold in Plum’s Initial Public Offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved, assuming all outstanding shares are voted on such proposal. If only a minimum quorum of shares of Plum Ordinary Shares, constituted by the holders of one-half of outstanding shares, is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting, Plum would not need any of the Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved (provided that consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals and the requirement that Plum have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement). See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement. In addition, in no event will Plum redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause New Plum’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal and Charter Proposal each require a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (66 2/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, each Advisory Charter Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. The Election of Directors Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Extraordinary General Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in this proxy statement/prospectus to make sure that your shares are represented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. 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. The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Advisory Charter Proposals are conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the Extraordinary General Meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the Extraordinary General Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, the Election of Directors Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote thereon, and each of the Domestication Proposal and Charter Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Plum will hold the Extraordinary General Meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Shareholders of Plum should read this proxy statement/prospectus carefully.

After careful consideration, the Plum Board has determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the Domestication Proposal, the Charter Proposal, each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, the Election of Directors Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of those proposals.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q: Are the proposals conditioned on one another?

A: Yes. The Business Combination is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned upon the approval of each other. The Advisory Charter Proposals are conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal.

Q: Why is Plum proposing the Business Combination?

A: Plum is a blank check company incorporated on January 11, 2021, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which is referred to throughout this proxy statement/prospectus as the initial business combination. Based on Plum’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

Veea is a provider of edge computing and communications devices, applications and services hosted on its edge Platform-as-a-Service (“ePaaS”). Veea Edge Platform ePaaS is an end-to-end platform that is both locally- and cloud-managed. VeeaHub products are converged computing and communications (i.e., hyperconverged) indoor and outdoor devices, about the size of a Wi-Fi Access Point (“AP”), that provide for networking and computing solutions for AI-assisted applications and solutions at the edge where people, places, and things connect to the network. Veea’s ePaaS architecture and business model is similar to Apple’s platform architecture and business model for iPhones and iPads but extended to hyperconverged VeeaHub devices offered by Veea.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Veea and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Veea in the course of Plum’s due diligence investigations, the Plum Board believes that the Business Combination with Veea is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and presents an opportunity to increase shareholder value. However, there is no assurance of this. See “Business Combination Proposal — The Plum Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination.”

Although the Plum Board believes that the Business Combination with Veea presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders, the Plum Board did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the sections entitled “Business Combination Proposal — The Plum Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Following the Business Combination.”

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

A: Yes. Although Plum is not required to obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm that is a member of FINRA or from an independent accounting firm that the transaction being contemplated is fair to Plum from a financial point of view unless Plum completes a business combination with an affiliated entity, the Plum Board received a fairness opinion, rendered orally to the Plum Board on November 20, 2023 (and subsequently confirmed in writing on December 28, 2023) from Houlihan Capital, LLC, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Plum of the Transaction Consideration to be issued and paid by Plum in the Merger pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. This opinion is discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “The Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of the Financial Advisor to Plum” and a copy of the fairness opinion is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex K.

Q: What will Veea’s stockholders receive in return for the Business Combination with Plum?

A: Following the consummation of the Domestication, and after giving effect to the Merger, Veea will be a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plum. In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, each outstanding share of Veea Common Stock and each outstanding share of Veea Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities and treasury shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and converted

into the right to receive the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.

In addition, the Business Combination Agreement provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period; and

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period.

If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.

The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

Q: How will the combined company be managed following the business combination?

A: Following the Closing, it is expected that the current management of Veea will become the management of New Plum, and New Plum’s board of directors will consist of seven (7) directors, which, for a period of five (5) years following the Closing, or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Parties to the Business Combination Agreement prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement/proxy statement, shall be divided into three (3) classes, designated Class I, II and III, with Class I directors serving an initial one-year term (but any subsequent Class I directors serving a three-year term), Class II directors serving an initial two-year term (but any subsequent Class II directors serving a three-year term), and Class III directors serving an initial three-year term, with the number of directors assigned to each class to be mutually agreed by Plum and Veea prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement/proxy statement. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, (i) the Sponsor will designate one person for election to the initial New Plum Board as a Class I director, who shall be required to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules; (ii) Veea shall designate five (5) persons for election to the initial New Plum Board, of whom shall be a Class I director, of whom shall be a Class II director and of whom shall a Class III director, at least two (2) of whom shall be required to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules; and (iii) Plum and Veea shall mutually agree to designate one (1) person who shall be required to qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq rules to the initial New Plum Board, which shall be designated to such other director class positions as mutually agreed by the Sponsor and the Company. The parties intend to use commercially reasonable efforts so that at all times following the Closing, at least twenty percent (20%) of the New Plum Board shall be filled by candidates who bring gender, racial and/or ethnic diversity to the New Plum Board. Please see the section entitled “Management of New Plum Following the Business Combination” for further information.

Q: What equity stake will current Plum shareholders and current equityholders of Veea hold in New Plum immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

A: As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,236,002 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 12,640,544 Warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares, comprised of 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and 6,384,326 Public Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock. Therefore, as of immediately prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming that none of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination), Plum’s fully diluted share capital, giving effect to the exercise of all of the Private Placement Warrants and Public Warrants, would be 23,876,546 Ordinary Shares.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in New Plum Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on no Public Shares being redeemed after the Extension Redemptions in the no additional Redemptions scenario and all 3,255,593 Public Shares being redeemed in the maximum Redemptions scenario, and all New Plum Warrants to purchase New Plum Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately following Closing having been exercised for cash. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more details. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, the ownership percentages in New Plum will be different and totals may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

|  | Share Ownership in New Plum
Pro Forma Ownership |  | No Additional Redemptions |  | Maximum Redemptions
Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding |  | Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding
Veea Stockholders(1) |  | 16,568,287 |  | 54.1 | % |  | 16,568,287 |  | 60.5 | %

____________

(1) Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. This amount excludes 1,801,013 in New Plum shares as a result of 764,065 Common Stock Warrants, 236,309 Series A-1 Warrants and 800,639 vested options. All of which are currently in the money and exercisable.

(2) Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

(3) In the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario, assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. In the “Maximum Redemptions” scenario, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

(4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events.

(5) Reflects the receipt of approximately $18.2 million in cash and approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities in which Veea will issue shares of Series A-2 preferred stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has raised approximately $18.2 million and settled approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations; as such for Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

Q: How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Plum securities?

A: On November 10, 2023, the trading date preceding the announcement of a non-binding letter of intent for a potential business combination between Plum and Veea, the closing prices per Unit, Public Share, and Public Warrant as reported by Nasdaq were $10.70, $10.80, and $0.056, respectively. On November 27, 2023, the trading date preceding the announcement of the Business Combination, the closing prices per Unit, Public Share, and Public Warrant as reported by Nasdaq were $10.78, $10.80, and $0.15, respectively. As of , 2024, the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, the closing price for each Unit, Ordinary Share and redeemable Public Warrant was $ , $ and $ , respectively. Holders of Plum’s securities should obtain current market quotations for the securities. The market price of Plum’s securities could vary at any time prior to Closing.

Q: Why is Plum proposing the Domestication?

A: The Plum Board believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, the Plum Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The Plum Board believes that there are several reasons why a transfer by way of continuation to Delaware is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders, including, (i) the prominence, predictability and flexibility of the DGCL, (ii) Delaware’s well-established principles of corporate governance and (iii) the increased ability for Delaware corporations to attract and retain qualified directors, each of the foregoing are discussed in greater detail in the section entitled “Domestication Proposal — Reasons for the Domestication.”

To effect the Domestication, we will file an application for deregistration with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of corporate domestication and a certificate of incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which we will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

The approval of the Domestication Proposal is a condition to closing the Business Combination under the Business Combination Agreement. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal.

Q: What amendments will be made to the Existing Governing Documents of Plum?

A: The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, the Domestication.

Q: How will the Domestication affect my Ordinary Shares, Warrants and Units?

A: In connection with the Domestication, on the Closing Date but after the Redemption of the shareholders of Plum and prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Domestication, and without any action on the part of any holder of the issued Plum Shares: (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of Plum and each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of Plum will convert by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments; (ii) each issued and outstanding Warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Plum will automatically represent the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of New Plum Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement; (iii) the Existing Governing Documents of Plum will be amended and restated and become the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (iv) such Proposed Governing Documents will be appropriately adjusted to give effect to any amendments contemplated by the form of certificate of incorporation or the bylaws that are not adopted and approved by the Plum shareholders, other than the amendments to the Existing Governing Documents that are contemplated by the Charter Proposal, which is a condition to the Closing of the Business

Combination. In connection with clauses (i) and (ii), each issued and outstanding Plum Unit that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary shares and the underlying one-fifth of one Public Warrant prior to the Domestication will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Plum Common Stock and one-fifth of one New Plum Warrant, with such whole warrant representing the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon the separation of Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you hold at least five Units of Plum, you will not be able to receive or trade a Public Warrant when the Units are separated. See “Domestication Proposal.”

Q: What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Domestication and Redemption to Public Shareholders, holders of Public Warrants and holders of Units?

A: As discussed more fully under the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption to Public Shareholders” below, it is intended that the Domestication qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) (an “F Reorganization”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). However, we have not sought, nor do we intend to seek, nor is the closing of the Domestication or the Merger conditioned on the receipt of, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the qualification of the Domestication as an F Reorganization. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, you are urged to consult your tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Domestication to you. Assuming that the Domestication so qualifies, and subject to the “passive foreign investment company” (“PFIC”) rules discussed below and under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders — Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations,” U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders”) of Public Shares will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code and, as a result:

• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares whose Public Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Public Shares, will generally not recognize any gain or loss and will generally not be required to include any part of Plum’s earnings in income pursuant to the Domestication;

• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares whose Public Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of the Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Public Shares will generally recognize gain (but not loss) on the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Plum Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication. As an alternative to recognizing gain, such U.S. Holders may file an election to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to their Public Shares, provided certain other requirements are satisfied. Plum does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication; and

• a U.S. Holder of Public Shares who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Public Shares will generally be required to include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to its Public Shares. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code. Plum does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication.

• Plum does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication and, therefore, the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the public shares is expected to be $0.

xxii

Table of Contents

Furthermore, even in the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares or Public Warrants may, in certain circumstances, still recognize gain (but not loss) upon the exchange of its Public Shares or Public Warrants for New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants pursuant to the Domestication under the passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) rules of the Code. Because Plum is a blank check company with no current active business, we believe that Plum may be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Proposed Treasury Regulations with a retroactive effective date have been promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code which generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose exchanging Public Warrants for newly issued New Plum Warrants in the Domestication) must recognize gain equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the common stock or New Plum Warrants received in the Domestication over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the corresponding Public Shares or Public Warrants surrendered in exchange therefor, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, may require a U.S. Holder of Public Shares or Public Warrants to recognize gain on the exchange of such shares or Public Warrants for common stock or New Plum Warrants pursuant to the Domestication, unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Public Shares. A U.S. Holder cannot currently make the aforementioned elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Public Warrants. The tax on any such gain so recognized 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 Plum. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted. For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. Holders as a result of the Domestication, see the discussion in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption to Public Shareholders — U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations.”

Additionally, the Domestication may cause Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption to Public Shareholders”) to become subject to U.S. federal withholding taxes on any dividends paid in respect of such Non-U.S. Holder’s shares of New Plum Common Stock after the Domestication.

The tax consequences of the Domestication are complex and will depend on a holder’s particular circumstances. All holders are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of the Domestication, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the Domestication, including with respect to Public Warrants and Units, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption.”

Q: Do I have Redemption rights?

A: If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date. If you wish to exercise your Redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my Redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash and such shares would be converted into the merger consideration in connection with the Business Combination.

The Sponsor (whose members include certain of Plum’s directors and officers) has agreed to waive its Redemption rights with respect to all of its founder shares and Public Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price.

Table of Contents

Q: How do I exercise my Redemption rights?

A: In connection with the proposed Business Combination, pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, Plum’s Public Shareholders may request that Plum redeem all or a portion of such Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If you are a Public Shareholder and wish to exercise your right to redeem the Public Shares, you must:

(i) (a) hold Public Shares or (b) if you hold Public Shares through Units, you elect to separate your Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in which you (i) request that Plum redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

(iii) deliver your certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the Redemption forms to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to , Eastern Time, on , 2024 (two business days before the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

The address of Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

Holders of Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. Public holders that hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct them to do so.

Public Shareholders will be entitled to request that their Public Shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us (net of taxes payable). For illustrative purposes, based on approximately $ million of funds in the Trust Account and shares subject to possible Redemption, in each case, as of , 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $ per issued and outstanding Public Share. However, the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could become subject to the claims of our creditors, if any, which could have priority over the claims of our Public Shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims. Whether you vote, and if you do vote irrespective of how you vote, on any proposal, including the Business Combination Proposal, will have no impact on the amount you will receive upon exercise of your Redemption rights. It is expected that the funds to be distributed to Public Shareholders electing to redeem their Public Shares will be distributed promptly after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Any request for Redemption, once made by a holder of Public Shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or thereafter with Plum’s consent until the Closing. If you deliver your shares for Redemption to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, and later decide prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting not to elect Redemption, you may request that Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, return the shares (physically or electronically) to you. You may make such request by contacting Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of Redemption rights must be received by Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. No request for Redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, at least two business days prior to the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Table of Contents

If a holder of Public Shares properly makes a request for Redemption and the Public Shares are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, we will redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of funds deposited in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

If you are a holder of Public Shares and you exercise your Redemption rights, such exercise will not result in the loss of any Public Warrants that you may hold.

Q: If I am a holder of Units, can I exercise Redemption rights with respect to my Units?

A: No. Holders of issued and outstanding Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. If you hold your Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must notify your broker or bank that you elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if you hold Units registered in your own name, you must contact Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct them to do so. The Redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in order to validly redeem its shares. You are requested to cause your Public Shares to be separated and delivered to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, by , Eastern Time, on , 2024 (two business days before the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order to exercise your Redemption rights with respect to your Public Shares.

Q: If I am a holder of Public Warrants, can I exercise Redemption rights with respect to my Public Warrants?

A: No. Holders of Public Warrants will not have Redemption rights with respect to such Public Warrants.

Q: How do the Public Warrants differ from the Private Placement Warrants, and what are the related risks for any Public Warrant holders post Business Combination?

A: The Public Warrants are identical to the Private Placement Warrants in material terms and provisions, except that the Private Placement Warrants will not be redeemable by New Plum so long as they are held by the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or any of its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by New Plum and exercisable by the holders of such Private Placement Warrants on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Warrants, including New Plum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants (except to certain permitted transferees), until 30 days after the Closing.

Following the Closing, New Plum may redeem your Public Warrants prior to their exercise at any time, including a time that may be disadvantageous to you thereby making such Public Warrants worthless. New Plum will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant, provided that the closing price of New Plum Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Public Warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such Redemption, provided that certain other conditions are met. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable, New Plum may not exercise its Redemption right unless there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of New Plum Common Stock underlying such Public Warrants.

Plum is registering the New Plum Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants in the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, New Plum is required to maintain a current prospectus relating to those shares until the Warrants expire or are redeemed. If a registration statement covering the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the Closing, holders of Warrants may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when New Plum 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.

Table of Contents

In the event New Plum determines to redeem the Warrants, holders would be notified of such Redemption as described in the Warrant Agreement. New Plum would be required to fix a date for the Redemption and mail a notice of Redemption not less than 30 days prior to the Redemption date to the registered holders of the Warrants at their last addresses as they appear on the registration books. In addition, beneficial owners of the redeemable Warrants will be notified of such Redemption via New Plum posting the Redemption notice to DTC.

Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force you (i) to exercise your Public Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for you to do so, (ii) to sell your Public Warrants at the then-current market price when you might otherwise wish to hold your Public Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal Redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for Redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of your Public Warrants. None of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

See “Description of New Plum Securities — Warrants — Public Shareholders’ Warrants” and “Risk Factors — New Plum may redeem a Warrant holder’s unexpired Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that may be disadvantageous to such Warrant holder, thereby making its Warrants worthless.”

Q: What are the U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my Redemption rights?

A: The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your redemption rights with respect to your public shares to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for New Plum Common Stock deemed received upon the Domestication depend on your particular facts and circumstances (received in exchange for such public shares upon the Domestication) depend on your particular facts and circumstances. It is possible that you may be treated as selling such New Plum Common Stock and, as a result, recognize capital gain or capital loss. It is also possible that the redemption may be treated as a distribution for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the amount of New Plum Common Stock that you own or are deemed to own before and after the redemption (including through the ownership of New Plum Warrants). For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax considerations of an exercise of redemption rights, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

Additionally, because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of any shareholder, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Holders”) exercising redemption rights, although not free from doubt, will likely be deemed to have exchanged their Public Shares for New Plum Common Stock and therefore will likely be subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as well as the U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs. The tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules are discussed more fully below under “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders.”

All holders considering exercising redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax laws.

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

A: Any Trust Account proceeds remaining following Redemptions of Public Shares and the payment of transaction expenses and the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing the Business Combination, if any, will be released to us to fund the operations of the combined company following the Closing. See “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination.”

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

A: The Public Shareholders are not required to vote “FOR” the Business Combination or vote at all in order to exercise their Redemption rights and Public Shareholders who vote in favor of the Business Combination may also nevertheless exercise their Redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders are reduced as a result of Redemptions by Public Shareholders.

Table of Contents

On March 15, 2023, Plum held shareholder meeting, at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend Plum’s Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination. On September 13, 2023, Plum held a second shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, another proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination.

In connection with the Extension Meeting held on March 15, 2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem a total of 26,693,416 Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $273,112,312. In connection with the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem a total of 1,972,625 Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $21,142,261. Following the Extension Redemptions described above, Plum had approximately $35.1 million left in its Trust Account, all of which is held in U.S. treasury securities.

As a result of Redemptions, the trading market for the New Plum Common Stock may be less liquid than the market for the Public Shares was prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, and New Plum may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq. In addition, with less funds available from the Trust Account, the working capital infusion from the Trust Account into New Plum’s business will be reduced. If the Trust Account proceeds that would be available to New Plum following the Redemption deadline are less than expected, New Plum will have less cash available to pursue its anticipated growth strategies and new initiatives. As a result, New Plum’s results of operations and financial condition may be worse than projected.

The table below presents the trust value per share to a Public Shareholder that elects not to redeem across two Redemptions scenarios. For purposes of calculating the Redemption scenarios, the trust value date as of December 31, 2023 is used because such date is after date the Redemption requests in connection with the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023 were effectuated.

Trust value (after effectuating the Extension Redemptions) |  | $ | 35,555,976
Total Public Shares |  |  | 3,255,593
Trust value per ordinary share |  | $ | 10.92

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

A: The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the approval by the Plum shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) the completion of the offer to redeem the Class A ordinary shares of Plum; (iv) the New Plum Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (v) that Plum has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Closing. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, if these conditions are not satisfied the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

xxvii

Table of Contents

Q: What governmental and regulatory approvals are required?

A: Neither Plum nor Veea are currently aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination cannot be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated. For more information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Regulatory Matters.”

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

A: It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the first half of 2024. This date depends on, among other things, the approval of the proposals to be put to Plum shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, such Extraordinary General Meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by our shareholders at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and we elect to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates (A) to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is provided to Plum shareholders or, if as of the time for which the Extraordinary General Meeting is scheduled, there are insufficient Plum Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct business at the Extraordinary General Meeting or (B) in order to solicit additional proxies from Plum shareholders in favor of one or more of the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting. For a description of the conditions for the completion of the Business Combination, see “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

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

A: Plum will not complete the Domestication to Delaware unless all other conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived by the applicable parties in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated before the Business Combination is completed, Plum will remain a Cayman Islands exempted company and will search for an alternate initial business combination. If Plum is not able to consummate the Business Combination with Veea nor able to complete another business combination by June 18, 2024, Plum 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 and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses) divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which Redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Plum Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to our obligations under Cayman Islands Companies Law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Q: Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination and the proposed Domestication?

A: Neither Plum’s shareholders nor Plum’s Warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Law or under the DGCL.

Q: What do I need to do now?

A: Plum urges you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder and/or Warrant holder. Plum’s shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Table of Contents

Q: How do I vote?

A: If you are a holder of record of Ordinary Shares on the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, you may vote in person or virtually at the Extraordinary General Meeting 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 pre-addressed postage-paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly 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 Extraordinary General Meeting and vote in person, obtain a valid 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: No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If you decide to vote, you should provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee.

Q: When and where will the Extraordinary General Meeting be held?

A: The Extraordinary General Meeting will be held at , Eastern Time, on , 2024 at the offices of Hogan Lovells US LLP located at 390 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017, and virtually 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 proposals.

Q: Who is entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: We have fixed the close of business on , 2024 as the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. If you were a shareholder of Plum at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the Extraordinary General Meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Q: How many votes do I have?

A: Plum shareholders are entitled to one vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each Ordinary Share held of record as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, there were Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, of which were issued and outstanding. As of the close of business on the Record Date, no shares of Class B ordinary shares were issued or outstanding.

Q: What constitutes a quorum?

A: A quorum of Plum’s shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Extraordinary General Meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting, Ordinary Shares would be required to achieve a quorum.

xxix

Table of Contents

Q: What vote is required to approve each proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: The following votes are required for each proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting:

(i) Business Combination Proposal: The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(ii) Domestication Proposal: The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being a resolution passed by at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(iii) Charter Proposal: The approval of the Charter Proposal requires a special resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(iv) Advisory Charter Proposals: The separate approval of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(v) Nasdaq Proposal: The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(vi) Incentive Equity Plan Proposal: The approval of the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(vii) ESPP Proposal: The approval of the ESPP Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(viii) Election of Directors Proposal: The approval of the Election of Directors Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote thereon.

(ix) Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

As of the Record Date, Plum had Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding. Plum shareholders are entitled to one vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting for each Ordinary Share held of record as of the Record Date. Ordinary Shares are subject to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to vote all of its shares in favor of the Business Combination. For additional information regarding the Sponsor Letter Agreement, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement.”

Because the Sponsor agreed to vote its 7,980,409 outstanding Ordinary Shares in favor of each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Election of Directors Proposal, each will be approved even if none of the Public Shares are voted in favor of any of Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal the ESPP Proposal and the Election of Directors Proposal.

Table of Contents

Q: What are the recommendations of the Plum Board?

A: The Plum Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting are in the best interest of Plum and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal, “FOR” the Election of Directors Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q: How does the Sponsor intend to vote its shares?

A: The Sponsor has agreed to vote all its Ordinary Shares and any other Public Shares it may hold in favor of all the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include certain of Plum’s directors and officers) owns approximately % of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when Veea and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Plum or its securities, the Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of Plum’s shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption rights. In the event that the Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates who have agreed to vote in favor of this transaction purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (i) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the Business Combination Proposal, each Advisory Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by a resolution of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (ii) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal are approved by a resolution of at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (iii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem their Public Shares and (iv) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that Plum’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) are at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such

xxxi

Table of Contents

proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting or the Redemption threshold.

Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Q: What interests do Plum’s current officers and directors have in the Business Combination?

A: The Initial Shareholders, certain members of the Plum Board and our officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or in addition to your interests. You should take these interests into account in deciding whether to approve the Business Combination. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

• the fact that our Initial Shareholders have agreed not to redeem any Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 8,625,000 founder shares, 7,980,409 of which are currently owned by the Sponsor following the forfeiture of 644,591 Class B ordinary shares when the over-allotment option expired on May 2, 2021. Following the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023, the Sponsor, as the sole holder of shares of Class B ordinary shares, agreed to convert all of its shares of Class B ordinary shares to shares of Class A ordinary shares, on a one-for-one basis, in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents. The 7,980,409 shares of New Plum Common Stock that the Initial Shareholders will hold following the Business Combination (including 1,726,994 shares subject to forfeiture if the Earnout Triggering Events do not occur), if unrestricted and freely tradable, and in the case of the shares held by the Sponsor, following expiration of the lock-up, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Share on Nasdaq on , 2024, the most recent closing price. This represents a % gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by June 18, 2024, then the founder shares will be worthless;

• the fact that, given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the founder shares as compared to the price of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the New Plum Common Stock trades below $ per share and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Public Shareholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Public Shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $ per share;

• the fact that, at the time of the Initial Public Offering, the Initial Shareholders and certain of Plum’s current officers and directors agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Ordinary Shares (other than Public Shares) held by them if Plum fails to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024. The Initial Shareholders and our officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the founder shares and Private Placement Warrants are dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize such persons to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Public Shareholders;

• the fact that Sponsor paid $9,384,327 for 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants, which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Warrants (although holders of the Private Placement Warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants) on Nasdaq on , 2024, the most recent closing price, and the fact that the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

xxxii

Table of Contents

• the fact that the Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by the Sponsor and certain other affiliates of Plum;

• the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six (6) years following the consummation of the Business Combination, we are required to (i) maintain provisions in the Proposed Charter providing for continued indemnification of Plum’s directors and officers and (ii) continue Plum’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e., a “tail policy”);

• the fact that the Sponsor and Plum’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in Plum and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Plum to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 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 Plum has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Plum, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

• the fact that Plum may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by Plum outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates prior to the Closing; and

• the fact that it is currently contemplated that a designee of Plum will serve as a director of New Plum following the Closing. As such, in the future, such person may receive any cash fees or equity awards that the New Plum Board determines to pay its directors.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and our directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to Public Shareholders rather than liquidate. Based on the closing price per share of the Public Shares on as reported on Nasdaq of $ , in the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $ million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants.

These interests may influence the Plum Board in making its recommendation that you vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q: What happens if I sell my Plum Ordinary Shares before the Extraordinary General Meeting?

A: The Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting is earlier than the date of the Extraordinary General Meeting and earlier than the date that the Business Combination is expected to be completed. If you transfer your Public Shares after the applicable Record Date, but before the Extraordinary General Meeting, unless you grant a proxy to the transferee, you will retain your right to vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

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

SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and does not contain all of the information that is important to you. To better understand the proposals to be submitted for a vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination, you should read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety. The Business Combination Agreement is the legal document that governs the Business Combination and the other transactions that will be undertaken in connection with the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement is also described in detail in this proxy statement/prospectus in the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement.”

The Parties to the Business Combination

Plum

Plum is a blank check company incorporated on January 11, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities, which we refer to throughout this proxy statement/prospectus as our initial business combination. Based on Plum’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On March 18, 2021, Plum completed its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, and on April 14, 2021 issued an additional 1,921,634 Units as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $319,216,340 before underwriting discounts and expenses. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, an amount equal to $319,216,340 of the net proceeds from its Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. The Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in United States Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations.

On March 15, 2023, Plum held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination from March 18, 2023 to June 18, 2023, and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the such date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times by an additional one month each time after June 18, 2023, by resolution of Plum’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until March 18, 2024, unless the closing of the Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date.

On July 14, 2023 and August 16, 2023, Plum’s Board elected to extend the date by which Plum must complete an initial business combination, on each occasion by one month, from July 18, 2023 to September 18, 2023. As a result, the Sponsor deposited $160,000 into the Trust Account on each occasion.

On September 13, 2023, Plum held a second shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination from September 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023, and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the such date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six (6) times by an additional one month each time after December 18, 2023, by resolution of Plum’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until June 18, 2024, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date.

In connection with the Extension Meeting held on March 15, 2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem a total of 26,693,416 Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $273,112,312. In connection with the Extension Meeting held on September 13,

Table of Contents

2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem a total of 1,972,625 Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $21,142,261. Following the Extension Redemptions, Plum had approximately $35.1 million left in its Trust Account, all of which is held in U.S. treasury securities. These funds will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination) or (ii) the Redemption of all of the Public Shares if we are unable to complete the Business Combination or any other initial business combination by June 18, 2024, subject to applicable law.

Plum’s Public Shares, Units and Public Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “PLMI,” “PLMIU,” “PLMIW,” respectively.

Plum’s principal executive office is located at 2021 Fillmore St. #2089, San Francisco, California 94115, and its telephone number is (415) 683-6773.

Proposals to be put to the Shareholders of Plum at the Extraordinary General Meeting

The following is a summary of the proposals to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum and certain transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Each of the Condition Precedent Proposals is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Advisory Charter Proposals are conditioned on the approval of the Charter Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. The transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be consummated only if the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The Business Combination Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Plum is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, on the Closing Date, promptly following the consummation of the Domestication, (a) Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in such merger (the “Merger”) and, as a result of the Merger, Veea will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plum. The Parties intend that the Business Combination Agreement shall constitute a “plan of merger” for all purposes under the DGCL. Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, holders of Existing Veea Shares will receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Plum Common Stock (or rights to acquire such common stock) in the aggregate equal to $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00. The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination.”

After consideration of the factors identified and discussed in the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — The Plum Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination,” the Plum Board concluded that the Business Combination met all of the requirements disclosed in the prospectus for Plum’s Initial Public Offering, including that the businesses of Veea had a fair market value of at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of execution of the Business Combination Agreement. For more information about the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, see “Business Combination Proposal.”

Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each outstanding share of Veea Common Stock and each outstanding share of Veea Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities and treasury shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New

Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.

The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination.”

Lock-Up Agreements

At or prior to the Closing, each Locked-Up Veea Person will enter into a Veea Lock-Up Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F-1 hereto, and each Locked-Up Plum Person will enter into a Plum Lock-Up Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F-2 hereto, in each case pursuant to which the Locked-Up Veea Persons and Locked-Up Plum Persons will agree, subject to certain exceptions, not to effect any sale or distribution of any Equity Securities of Plum issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement during the 180-day lock-up period, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Veea Lock-Up Agreements and Plum Lock-Up Agreement, as applicable.

Earnout

The Business Combination Agreement provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period; and

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period.

If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.

For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — The Business Combination Agreement — Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination.”

Except as otherwise set forth in Section 11.02 or Section 12.14 of the Business Combination Agreement, in the event of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement will become void (and there shall be no Liability or obligation on the part of the Parties and their respective Representatives) with the exception of (a) Section 7.02 (Trust Account Waiver), Section 9.06(b) (Confidentiality; Access to Information; Publicity), Section 11.02 (Effect of Termination), Article XII (Miscellaneous) and Section 1.01 (Definitions) (to the extent related to the foregoing), each of which shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the Parties, and (b) the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto in accordance with its terms.

Domestication Proposal

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Plum will ask its shareholders to approve by special resolution the Domestication Proposal. As a condition to closing the Business Combination pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Plum Board has unanimously approved the Domestication Proposal. The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will authorize a change of Plum’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Plum is currently incorporated as an exempted company under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, upon Domestication, New Plum will be governed by the DGCL. There are differences between Cayman Islands corporate law and Delaware corporate law as well as the Existing Governing Documents and the Proposed Governing Documents. The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being a resolution passed by the holders at least a two-thirds (662/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Accordingly, we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

For further details, see “Domestication Proposal,” “Charter Proposal” and “The Advisory Charter Proposals.”

Charter Proposal

Plum will ask its shareholders to approve and adopt by special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, assuming the Business Combination Proposal and the Domestication Proposal are approved and adopted, the amendment and restatement of the Existing Governing Documents by deletion in their entirety and replacement with the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum, which, if approved, would take effect immediately after the Domestication. The approval of the Charter Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being a resolution passed by holders of at least a two-thirds (662/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Advisory Charter Proposals

Plum will ask its shareholders to consider and vote upon proposals to approve by each an ordinary resolution, on a non-binding advisory basis, certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, which are being presented separately in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions, as the following seven (7) sub-proposals:

• Advisory Charter Proposal 4A — to increase the authorized share capital of Plum from $55,100 divided into (i) 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 1,000,000 preference shares, par value $0.0001 per share, to (ii) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Plum and shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Plum.

• Advisory Charter Proposal 4C — to provide that, subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock, the number of directors will be fixed from time to time by a majority of the New Plum Board.

• Advisory Charter Proposal 4E — to provide that the Proposed Bylaws may be amended, altered, repealed or adopted either (x) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the New Plum Board present at any regular or special meeting of the New Plum Board at which a quorum is present or (y) by the approval of at least two-thirds (662/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum.

• Advisory Charter Proposal 4F — to provide that the Proposed Charter may be amended, altered, repealed or adopted by the approval of at least two-thirds (662/3%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum for amendments for certain provisions of the Proposed Charter relating to: (i) classification and election of the New Plum Board, removal of directors from office, and filling vacancies on the New Plum Board, (ii) actions taken by the stockholders of New Plum, (iii) exculpation of personal liability of a director of New Plum and indemnification of persons serving as directors or officers of New Plum, (iv) forum for certain legal actions, (v) renunciation of certain corporate opportunities, and (vi) amendments to the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws.

• Advisory Charter Proposal 4G — to provide that the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for certain stockholder actions, provided that that the exclusive forum provision in the Proposed Charter does not apply to claims arising out of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for which the federal district courts of the United States are the exclusive forum.

The Proposed Governing Documents differ in certain material respects from the Existing Governing Documents, and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out in the section entitled “The Advisory Charter Proposals” and the full text of the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D.

The Plum Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination

Plum was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Plum Board sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both the Sponsor and the Plum Board and management to identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses. The members of the Plum Board and management have extensive transactional experience.

As described under “Background of the Business Combination,” the Plum Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with Plum’s management and legal advisors. In reaching its unanimous decision to approve the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Plum Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the proposed combination, the Plum Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Plum Board contemplated its decision as in the context of all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Plum Board’s reasons for approving the 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 titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

In approving the Business Combination Agreement, the Plum Board received a fairness opinion, rendered orally to the Plum Board on November 20, 2023 (and subsequently confirmed in writing on December 28, 2023) from Houlihan Capital, LLC, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to Plum of the transaction consideration to be issued and paid pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

The Plum Board 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. The Plum Board and management team alike were impressed with the Veea team during the diligence process and in their own investigation of the broader networking industry. More specifically, the Plum Board took into consideration the following factors or made the following determinations, as applicable:

• Fundamentally Different Approach to Edge Connectivity. The Plum Board believes that Veea has a fundamentally different approach that will allow for improved connectivity and processing on the edge. The Board believes that homes, businesses, farms, campuses, and factories anywhere that can benefit from computational and connectivity intelligence connected to the internet and that the Veea Platform fills significant connectivity gaps.

• Significant Growth Prospects in a Large and Growing Addressable Market. The Plum Board believes that Veea is a market leader in the edge connectivity and communication industry and considered the fact that the Business Combination is expected to provide the opportunity to speed up Veea’s time to market and strengthen customer relations. The Plum Board believes that Veea’s platform provides customer improved connectivity, computation on the edge, development flexibility, and increase security that allow for use cases currently not contemplated.

• Lead by a Wireless Industry Pioneers. Veea’s leadership is a pioneer in the global cellular communication space. Allen Salmasi’s distinguished track record includes developing CDMA technology and helping to found Qualcomm and founding NextWave Technologies. He has spent his entire career focusing on filling the gaps in wireless communication.

• Benefits from Public Market Entry and PLUM Expertise. The Plum Board considered the fact that, given the expected capital raise from private and public investments as part of the de-SPAC transaction, among other things, the cash that New Plum is expected to have will allow it to be well-positioned to scale and fund its business plan. Additionally, the Plum Board considered the benefits to Veea from the expertise and public company experience of the Plum board and management.

• Stockholder Liquidity. The Plum Board considered the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the New Plum Common Stock issued as merger consideration will be listed on the Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Plum Board believes has the potential to offer stockholders enhanced liquidity.

• Other Alternatives. The Plum Board has determined that, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Plum, the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Plum and the most attractive opportunity for Plum based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. The Plum Board has also determined that such process has not presented a better alternative.

• Negotiated Transaction. The Plum Board has determined that the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement are reasonable and were the product of arm’s length negotiations between Plum and Veea.

The Plum Board also considered a variety of uncertainties, risks and other potentially negative factors relating to the Business Combination including, but not limited to, the following: Redemptions, complexities related to the shareholder vote, litigation and threats of litigation and broader macro risks, including Veea’s status as an early stage company with a limited operating history. Specifically, the Plum Board considered the following issues and risks:

• risk that the benefits described above may not be achieved;

• risk of the liquidation of Plum;

• exclusivity;

• risk regarding the shareholder vote;

• Closing conditions;

9

Table of Contents

• potential litigation;

• fees and expenses;

• macroeconomic and geopolitical risk; and

• other risk factors.

In addition to considering the factors described above, the Plum Board also considered that some officers and directors of Plum might have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of Plum’s shareholders. Plum’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and unanimously approving, as members of the Plum Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

The Plum Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected Plum and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Plum Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, were advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Plum and its shareholders.

Related Agreements

This section describes certain additional agreements entered into or to be entered into in connection with the Business Combination Agreement.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Sponsor, Plum, and Veea entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement, dated November 27, 2023, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to (a) vote all of its Plum Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals relating to the Business Combination; (b) refrain from effecting a Plum Shareholder Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (c) exercise the option to extend the period of time Plum is afforded under its governing documents to consummate a business combination, (d) waive certain anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to its Plum Ordinary Shares which had been granted in connection with Plum’s Initial Public Offering; (e) forfeit its founder shares, at the rate of $10.00 per share, to the extent certain of its expenses exceed $2.5 million or it incurs certain other expenses; and (f) subject 1,726,994 of its founder shares to forfeiture if the conditions applicable to the Earnout Shares are not satisfied during the Earnout Period (on the same terms proportionately as the Earnout Shares). At the Closing, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor will deliver to Plum and Veea a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement duly executed by the Sponsor.

The foregoing description of the Sponsor Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sponsor Letter Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Annex E.

Table of Contents

Registration Rights Agreement

At the Closing, New Plum, the Sponsor and certain other holders of New Plum Common Stock (the “New Plum Holders”) and certain of their respective affiliates, as applicable, and the other parties thereto, will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, New Plum will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of New Plum Common Stock and other equity securities of New Plum that are held by the parties thereto from time to time, and the Sponsor, New Plum Holders and the other parties thereto will be granted certain registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein, the form of which is attached as Annex H hereto.

The Sponsor and such holders will be granted certain customary registration rights, demand rights and piggyback rights with respect to their respective shares of New Plum Common Stock. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

Lock-Up Agreements

At or prior to the Closing, each Locked-Up Veea Person will enter into a Veea Lock-Up Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F-1 hereto, and each Locked-Up Plum Person will enter into a Plum Lock-Up Agreement, substantially in the form attached as Annex F-2 hereto, in each case pursuant to which the Locked-Up Veea Persons and Locked-Up Plum Persons will agree, subject to certain exceptions, not to effect any sale or distribution of any Equity Securities of New Plum issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement during the 180-day lock-up period, subject to certain exceptions as described in the Veea Lock-Up Agreements and Plum Lock-Up Agreement, as applicable.

The foregoing descriptions of the Veea Lock-Up Agreements and Plum Lock-Up Agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in its entirety by reference to the forms of Veea Lock-Up Agreement and Plum Lock-Up Agreement, forms of which are attached as Annex F-1 and Annex F-2 hereto, respectively.

New Financing Securities

In October 2023, Veea commenced a private placement of its newly designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The Series A-2 Preferred Stock will rank pari passu with the Series A-1 Preferred Stock in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up, or deemed liquidation of Veea. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has (1) issued 12,660,067 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock in consideration for approximately $18.2 million in cash and the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations totaling approximately $5 million and (2) received additional subscriptions totaling approximately $2 million for which shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock have not yet been issued as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Veea anticipates raising a minimum of an additional $10,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sales of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

Ownership of New Plum

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,236,002 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which consists of an aggregate of 3,255,593 Public Shares and 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 12,640,544 Warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares, comprised of 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and 6,384,326 Public Warrants. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock. Therefore, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming that none of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination), Plum’s fully diluted share capital would be 23,876,546 Ordinary Shares.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in New Plum Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the varying levels of Redemptions by the Public Shareholders, including the dilutive effect of outstanding Warrants, and the following additional assumptions: (i) no Public Shares are redeemed in the no Redemption scenario and all 3,255,593 Public Shares are redeemed in

the maximum Redemption scenario; and (ii) all Plum Warrants to purchase New Plum Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately following Closing have been exercised for cash. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more details. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, the ownership percentages in Plum will be different and totals may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

|  | Share Ownership in New Plum
Pro Forma Ownership |  | No Additional Redemptions |  | Maximum Redemptions
Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding |  | Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding
Veea Stockholders(1) |  | 16,568,287 |  | 54.1 | % |  | 16,568,287 |  | 60.5 | %

____________

(1) Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. This amount excludes 1,801,013 in New Plum shares as a result of 764,065 Common Stock Warrants, 236,309 Series A-1 Warrants and 800,639 vested options. All of which are currently in the money and exercisable.

(2) Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

(3) In the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario, assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. In the “Maximum Redemptions” scenario, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

(4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events.

(5) Reflects the receipt of approximately $18.2 million in cash and approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities in which Veea will issue shares of Series A-2 preferred stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has raised approximately $18.2 million and settled approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations; as such for Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that Plum redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i) (a) hold Public Shares or (b) if you hold Public Shares through Units, you elect to separate your Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in which you (i) request that Plum redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and

(iii) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to , Eastern Time, on , 2024 (two business days before the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of Plum Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. Public holders that hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct them to do so. The Redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date for the Extraordinary General Meeting. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, New Plum will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on approximately $35.1 million of funds in the Trust Account and 3,255,593 shares subject to possible Redemption, in each case, following the Extension Redemptions, this would have amounted to approximately $10.78 per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its Redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. The Redemption takes place following the Domestication and accordingly it is shares of New Plum Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination. See “Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum — Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Table of Contents

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, agreed to, among other things, vote all of its founder shares and its other Public Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Holders of the Warrants will not have Redemption rights with respect to the Warrants.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Plum shareholders nor Plum Warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone or in person. Plum has engaged Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If a shareholder grants a proxy, it may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the Extraordinary General Meeting. A shareholder also may change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy as described in the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum — Revoking Your Proxy.”

Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Plum Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Initial Shareholders, including Plum’s directors, may have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Plum shareholders and Warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

• the fact that our Initial Shareholders have agreed not to redeem any Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 8,625,000 founder shares, 7,980,409 of which converted into Class A ordinary shares following the extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on September 13, 2023, and are currently owned by the Sponsor following the forfeiture of 644,591 Class B ordinary shares when the over-allotment option expired on May 2, 2021. The 7,980,409 shares of New Plum Common Stock that the Initial Shareholders will hold following the Business Combination (including 1,726,994 shares subject to forfeiture if the Earnout Triggering Events do not occur), if unrestricted and freely tradable, and in the case of the shares held by the Sponsor, following expiration of the lock-up, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Share on Nasdaq on , 2024, the most recent closing price. This represents a gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by June 18, 2024, then the founder shares will be worthless;

• the fact that, given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the founder shares as compared to the price of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the New Plum Common Stock trades below $ per share and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the

15

Table of Contents

economic interests of Public Shareholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Public Shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $ per share;

• the fact that, at the time of the Initial Public Offering, the Initial Shareholders and certain of Plum’s current officers and directors agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Ordinary Shares (other than Public Shares) held by them if Plum fails to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024. The Initial Shareholders and our officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the founder shares and Private Placement Warrants are dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize such persons to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Public Shareholders;

• the fact that Sponsor paid $9,384,327 for 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants, which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Warrant (although holders of the Private Placement Warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants) on Nasdaq on , 2024, the most recent closing price, and the fact that the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that the Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by the Sponsor and certain other affiliates of Plum;

• the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six (6) years following the consummation of the Business Combination, we are required to (i) maintain provisions in the Proposed Charter providing for continued indemnification of Plum’s directors and officers and (ii) continue Plum’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e., a “tail policy”);

• the fact that the Sponsor and Plum’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in Plum and will not be repaid or reimbursed for any loans extended pursuant to promissory notes issued by Plum to the Sponsor and certain Plum officers and directors with an aggregate principal amount of up to $4,980,000, amounts due to the Sponsor under the Administrative Services Agreement dated March 18, 2021 between Plum and the Sponsor, and any out-of-pocket expenses related to the foregoing if an initial business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Plum to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 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 Plum has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Plum, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

• the fact that Plum may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by Plum outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates prior to the Closing; and

• the fact that it is currently contemplated that a designee of Plum will serve as a director of New Plum following the Closing. As such, in the future such person may receive any cash fees or equity awards that the New Plum Board determines to pay its directors.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Plum’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to Public Shareholders rather than liquidate. Based on the closing price per share of the Public Shares on , as reported on Nasdaq, of $ , in the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $ million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of: 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants.

The Sponsor has, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, agreed to, among other things, vote all of its founder shares and its Public Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata

calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include certain of Plum’s directors and officers) owns approximately % of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Interests of Veea’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Plum Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that Veea’s directors and executive officers may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Plum Shareholders and Veea’s stockholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

• The following individuals who are currently executive officers of Veea are expected to become executive officers of New Plum upon the closing of the Business Combination, serving in the offices set forth opposite their names below:

Name |  | Position
Allen Salmasi |  | Chief Executive Officer
Janice K. Smith |  | Chief Operating Officer
Mark Tubinis |  | Chief Commercial Officer
Jeff Friedman |  | Chief Financial Officer

• The following individuals who are currently members of Veea’s board of directors are expected to become members of the New Plum Board upon the closing of the Business Combination:

Name |  | Position
Allen Salmasi |  | Chairman of the Board
Douglas Maine |  | Director
[_________] |  |

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, the Sponsor, the other Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, the other Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, who have agreed to vote in favor of this transaction, purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their Public Shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be (i) to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the Business Combination Proposal, each Advisory Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal, and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (ii) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (662/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (iii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to be redeemed, and (iv) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that Plum’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) be at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented

at the Extraordinary General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. Plum will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting or the Redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder.

Recommendation to Shareholders of Plum

The Plum Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting are in the best interest of Plum and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal, “FOR” the Election of Directors Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following tables summarize the sources and uses for funding the Business Combination, assuming (i) none of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) all of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, assuming Plum will only proceed with the Business Combination if it will have net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of the Business Combination and a majority of the shares voted at the Extraordinary General Meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, Plum expects New Plum to add between $5.0 million and $35.8 million in cash on hand on its balance sheet as discussed above. Please see “Veea’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation — Liquidity and Capital Resources” for more information.

Expected Accounting Treatment

The Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Plum as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Plum immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of Plum immediately prior to the Domestication.

The Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum will be treated as the acquired company and Veea will be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Plum will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Veea, with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Veea issuing stock for the historical net assets of Plum, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Plum will be stated at fair value, which is expected to approximate historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Veea.

Certain Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

For a description of the tax consequences for shareholders exercising Redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption — U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.”

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), unless a valid exception applies, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied.

Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination cannot be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated.

Further, at any time before or after completion of the Business Combination, the DOJ, the FTC, or any state could request additional information or could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Business Combination, to rescind the Business Combination or to seek divestiture of particular assets of Plum, New Plum, or Veea. Private parties also may seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. A challenge to the Business Combination on antitrust grounds may be made and, if such a challenge is made, it is possible that Plum and Veea will not prevail.

Plum, Veea and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to cooperate to resolve any objections that the FTC, the DOJ or any other governmental authority may assert under antitrust laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and to provide notice to and consult with each other regarding any communications from any governmental authority concerning the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and permit each other an opportunity to review, respond to and participate with respect to any meetings, proceedings or other related communications with a governmental authority.

19

Table of Contents

Except as described above, neither Plum nor Veea is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination. It is presently contemplated that if any such regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any required approvals or actions will be obtained.

Emerging Growth Company

Plum 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 of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder 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 registration statement under the Securities Act 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. Plum 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, Plum, 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 Plum’s financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We 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 closing of Plum’s Initial Public Offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our 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 we have 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.

Smaller Reporting Company

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

Summary of Risk Factors

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the Plum Extraordinary General Meeting, a shareholder should carefully read the risks described below, this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” If any of the following events occur, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially adversely affected. In that event, the trading price of our securities could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment. Such risks include, but are not limited to:

• Veea has not generated significant revenue from product sales, has incurred significant losses in recent years, and anticipates that it will continue to incur significant losses for the foreseeable future;

• New Plum will need to raise substantial additional funding, which would dilute existing Plum shareholders, and a failure to secure additional funding would force the combined company to delay, reduce, or eliminate some of its product development programs or commercialization efforts;

20

Table of Contents

• The market for Veea’s platform and products is relatively new and highly competitive and the estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate;

• Veea may be unable to effectively manage its growth;

• If Veea does not develop its services and introduce new services that achieve market acceptance, its growth, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;

• Veea’s sales cycle is often long and unpredictable;

• Real or perceived errors, failures, defects, or bugs in Veea’s platforms, or disruptions in Veea’s operations, could adversely affect its results of operations and growth prospects;

• Veea bears costs and risks associated with relying on distribution and partnering arrangements;

• Veea’s operations are complex and rely on third party manufacturers, and any scarcity or unavailability of critical components used in Veea’s products could damage its business;

• Veea depends on its management team and other key employees;

• Veea has significant operations in foreign countries which expose it to certain risks inherent in doing business internationally;

• Veea may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights;

• Veea may be subject to claims that Veea’s employees, consultants or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their current or former employers or claims asserting ownership of what Veea regards as Veea’s own intellectual property;

• Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violations against Veea or its collaborators may prevent or delay Veea’s products;

• If Veea’s security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s data, Veea’s service may be perceived as insecure, the attractiveness of its services to current or potential customers may be reduced, and Veea may incur significant liabilities;

• Cybersecurity incidents may have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, operations, financial performance, customer and vendor relationships, reputation and brand;

• Veea is subject to many federal, state and local laws with which compliance is both costly and complex;

• Potential health risks related to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may subject Veea to various product liability claims and result in regulatory changes;

• The Sponsor and Plum’s officers and directors have conflicts of interest that may influence them to approve the Business Combination without regard to your interests;

• The Sponsor has entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement with Plum and Veea to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Plum’s Public Shareholders vote;

• The Articles Extension Proposal gives the Plum Board the authority to extend the termination date to a date that is in violation of applicable Nasdaq listing standards;

• If the conditions to closing contained in the Business Combination Agreement are not met or waived, the Business Combination may not occur;

• Plum currently is, and New Plum will be, an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and, if New Plum takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors;

• A portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future;

21

Table of Contents

• Because there are no current plans to pay cash dividends on the New Plum Common Stock for the foreseeable future, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your Plum shares or the New Plum Common Stock at a price greater than what you paid for it;

• Plum and Veea have incurred and expect to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination;

• New Plum’s business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any litigation or stockholder activism;

• An active, liquid trading market may not develop for the New Plum Common Stock;

• If third parties bring claims against Plum, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share Redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share;

• If, after Plum distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, Plum files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds;

• If, before Plum distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, Plum files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of its shareholders;

• Plum’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Plum to the extent of distributions received by them upon Redemption of their shares;

• Plum does not have a specified maximum Redemption threshold, and Plum may complete the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of Plum’s Public Shareholders redeem their shares; and

• The other risks and uncertainties discussed in “Risk Factors” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The selected unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information (the “Selected Pro Forma Information”) gives effect to the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement described in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum is expected to be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Plum will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Veea with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Veea issuing stock for the net assets of Plum, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Plum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of shares issued to Plum over the fair value of Plum’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Veea in future reports of New Plum.

The Selected Pro Forma Information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information of New Plum appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes in the section titled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.” The unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of Plum and Veea for the applicable periods included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The Selected Pro Forma Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what New Plum’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination and the other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement been completed as of the dates indicated. The Selected Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of New Plum.

Plum is providing the following Selected Pro Forma Information to assist you in your analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination. The unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential Redemption by Plum’s Public Shareholders of Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the Closing) in the Trust Account:

• Assuming No Additional Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

• Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, Plum public stockholders holding 3,255,593 Plum Class A ordinary shares will exercise their Redemption rights for $35.79 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum’s Public Shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

____________

(1) Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. This amount excludes 1,801,013 in New Plum shares as a result of 764,065 Common Stock Warrants, 236,309 Series A-1 Warrants and 800,639 vested options. All of which are currently in the money and exercisable.

(2) Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

(3) In the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario, assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. In the “Maximum Redemptions” scenario, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

(4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events.

(5) Reflects the receipt of approximately $18.2 million in cash and approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities in which Veea issued shares of Series A-2 preferred stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has raised approximately $18.2 million in cash and settled approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration from the sale of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (including the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations); as such for Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, then the amounts and shares outstanding in the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information will be different and those changes could be material.

The following table sets out selected unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of December 31, 2023, giving Pro Forma effect to the Business Combination and the other related events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as if it had occurred on December 31, 2023:

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information contained in (or incorporated by reference into) this proxy statement/prospectus, including the matters addressed under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements,” you should carefully consider the following risk factors in deciding how to vote on the proposals presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in the below section of this proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus to the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “Veea” refers to Veea Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which will be the business of New Plum following the consummation of the Business Combination. The following risk factors apply to the business and operations of Veea and will also apply to the business and operations of New Plum 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 have a material adverse effect on New Plum’s business, reputation, revenue, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects and on its ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, in which event the market price of New Plum’s securities could decline, and you could lose part or all of your investment.

The risks discussed below may not prove to be exhaustive and are based on certain assumptions made by Veea and Plum, which may later prove to be incorrect or incomplete. Veea and Plum may face additional risks that are not presently known to those entities, or that are currently deemed to be immaterial, but which may ultimately have an adverse effect on those entities.

Risks Related to Our Limited Operating History, Financial Position, and Capital Requirements

Veea has incurred significant losses in recent years and anticipates that it will continue to incur significant losses in the near term.

Veea has suffered recurring losses from operations since its inception. In addition, Veea will incur significant sales, marketing and manufacturing expenses, in addition to the additional associated costs Veea will incur in connection with operating as a public company after the closing of the Business Combination. As a result, Veea expects to continue to incur significant operating losses over the next several years. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with developing computing technology products, Veea is unable to predict the extent of any future losses or when Veea will become profitable, if at all. Even if Veea does become profitable, Veea may not be able to sustain or increase its profitability on a quarterly or annual basis.

The amount of Veea’s future losses is uncertain, and Veea’s quarterly and annual operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of its control and may be difficult to predict, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Component supply constraints and sudden, unanticipated price increases from Veea manufacturers, suppliers and vendors;

• Veea’s inability to accurately forecast product demand, resulting in increased inventory exposure and/or lost sales;

• Slow or negative growth in the networking, smart agriculture, smart building, smart retail and related technology markets;

• Changes in U.S. and international trade policy that adversely affect customs, tax or duty rates and/or currency fluctuations;

• Intense competition from established and emerging players;

• Rapid technological change leading to product obsolescence;

• Slowdown or changes in market demand for technology products and services;

• Reliance on a limited number of customers or products for revenue;

• Inability to raise additional capital if needed;

30

Table of Contents

• Failure to effectively manage and scale critical infrastructure; and

• Delays in product development and manufacturing causing missed market opportunities.

The cumulative effects of these factors could result in large fluctuations and unpredictability in Veea’s quarterly and annual operating results. As a result, comparing Veea’s operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful. This variability and unpredictability could also result in Veea failing to meet the expectations of industry or financial analysts or investors for any period. If Veea’s revenue or operating results fall below the expectations of analysts or investors or below any forecasts Veea may provide to the market, or if the forecasts Veea provides to the market are below the expectations of analysts or investors, the price of the Combined Company’s common stock could decline substantially. Such a stock price decline could occur even if Veea has met any previously publicly stated guidance it may provide.

Veea has not generated any significant revenue from product sales.

Veea’s ability to become profitable depends upon Veea’s ability to generate revenue. To date, Veea has not generated significant revenue from its products or from product sales. Veea’s ability to generate revenue depends on a number of factors, many of which are detailed elsewhere herein, and including, but not limited to, Veea’s ability to:

• Solve real problems for its target market in a unique and compelling way and truly understand the needs of its customers;

• Clearly articulate the benefits and differentiation for Veea from its competitors;

• Design, build and deliver products and services that are reliable and effective and meet customer expectations;

• Constantly innovate and differentiate its products and services including adding additional features and functionalities;

• Reach its target market through the right sales efforts including the right channels and partners;

• Utilize a clear and actionable sales strategy to identify, qualify, and convert leads into paying customers;

• Generate interest in Veea products and services via effective marketing and publicity;

• Price its products and services to match the market’s perception of value of those products and services;

• Maintain consistent design and manufacturing of Veea products to match inventory with demand;

• Continue to deliver high-quality products and services on time and within budget for its customers;

• Provide responsive and helpful customer support that leaves a positive impression and builds loyalty; and

• Continuously improve all Veea products, services and processes to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and optimize performance.

If Veea does not achieve one or more of these factors in a timely manner or at all, Veea could experience significant delays or an inability to successfully commercialize its products, which would materially harm its business.

Even if Veea completes the Business Combination, Veea will need to raise substantial additional funding. If Veea is unable to raise capital when needed or on terms acceptable to Veea, it would be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate some of its product development programs or commercialization efforts.

The development of edge computing devices and products is capital-intensive. Veea expects its expenses to significantly increase in connection with its ongoing activities, and to incur significant commercialization expenses related to product sales, marketing, manufacturing and distribution. Veea may also need to raise additional funds sooner if Veea chooses to pursue additional indications and/or geographies for its current or future products or otherwise expands more rapidly than presently anticipated. Furthermore, upon the closing of the Business Combination, Veea expects to incur additional costs associated with operating as a public company. Accordingly,

31

Table of Contents

even if the Business Combination is consummated, Veea will need to obtain substantial additional funding in connection with its continuing operations. If Veea is unable to raise capital when needed or on attractive terms, Veea would be forced to delay, reduce or eliminate certain of its research and development programs or future commercialization efforts.

Developing computing technology products is a time-consuming, expensive and uncertain process that takes years to complete. In addition, Veea’s products may not achieve commercial success.

Veea may need to continue to rely on additional financing to achieve its business objectives. Any additional fundraising efforts may divert Veea’s management from their day-to-day activities, which may adversely affect Veea’s ability to develop and commercialize its products. Market conditions and disruptions in the market (such as due to economic downturn, geopolitical developments such as the war in Ukraine or the resurgence of COVID-19) may make equity and debt financing more difficult to obtain and may have a material adverse effect on Veea’s ability to meet its fundraising needs. Veea cannot guarantee that future financing will be available in sufficient amounts or on terms acceptable to Veea, if at all.

If Veea is unable to obtain funding on a timely basis or on acceptable terms, Veea may be required to significantly curtail, delay or discontinue one or more of its research or development programs or commercialization or be unable to expand its operations or otherwise capitalize on its business opportunities as desired, which could materially affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Raising additional capital may cause dilution to the combined company’s shareholders, restrict its operations or require it to relinquish rights to its technologies or products.

Until such time, if ever, as the combined company, operating as Veea, can generate substantial product revenue, Veea expects to finance its cash needs through a combination of private and public equity offerings, debt financings, collaborations, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. Veea does not have any committed external source of funds. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the combined company’s shareholders and the issuance of additional securities, whether equity or debt, by the combined company or the possibility of such issuance, may cause the market price of the combined company’s shares to decline. To the extent that Veea raises additional capital through the sale of common stock or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, your ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of those securities may include liquidation or other preferences that may materially adversely affect your rights as a common shareholder. Debt financing, if available, would increase Veea’s fixed payment obligations and may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting Veea’s ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, acquiring, selling or licensing intellectual property rights, and making capital expenditures, declaring dividends or other operating restrictions that could adversely impact Veea’s ability to conduct its business. Veea could also be required to meet certain milestones in connection with debt financing and the failure to achieve such milestones by certain dates may force Veea to relinquish rights to some of its technologies or products or otherwise agree to terms unfavorable to Veea which could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, operating results and prospects.

Veea also could be required to seek funds through arrangements with collaborators or distributors or otherwise at an earlier stage than otherwise would be desirable. If Veea raises funds through collaborations, strategic alliances or distribution or licensing arrangements with third parties, Veea may have to relinquish valuable rights to its intellectual property, future revenue streams, research programs or products, grant licenses on terms that may not be favorable to Veea or grant rights to develop and market products that Veea would otherwise prefer to develop and market itself, any of which may have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, operating results and prospects.

Risks Related to Our Business, Industry and Technology

The market for Veea’s platform and products is relatively new, and may decline or experience limited growth, and Veea’s business is dependent on its clients’ continuing adoption and use of its services and products.

The market for edge computing is in an early stage of development. There is considerable uncertainty over the size and rate at which this market will grow, as well as whether our platform will be widely adopted. Our success will depend, to a substantial extent, on the widespread adoption of our platform as an alternative to other solutions.

32

Table of Contents

Although Veea believes a broad market exists for its products and services, Veea’s assumptions may be incorrect or overestimated. In addition, there can be no assurance that Veea’s products and services will achieve a sufficient level of market acceptance to result in profitable operations.

Furthermore, in the event a broad market exists for its products and services, Veea may not have sufficient capital resources to implement its business plan and successfully achieve market acceptance. The timing, size and technology choices in the market could evolve differently than predicted and Veea could encounter unforeseen technical challenges in meeting market demand.

The estimates of market opportunity and forecasts of market growth may prove to be inaccurate, and any real or perceived inaccuracies may harm our reputation and negatively affect our business. Even if the market in which we compete achieves the forecasted growth, our business could fail to grow at similar rates, if at all.

Third-party market opportunity estimates and our growth forecasts are subject to significant uncertainty and are based on assumptions and estimates that may not prove to be accurate. The variables that go into the calculation of our market opportunity are subject to change over time, and there is no guarantee that any particular number or percentage of addressable companies or end-users covered by our market opportunity estimates will purchase our products at all or generate any particular level of revenues for us. Even if the market in which we compete meets the size estimates and growth forecasted, our business could fail to grow for a variety of reasons, including reasons outside of our control, such as competition in our industry.

Veea may be unable to effectively manage growth.

For Veea to succeed, it may need to undergo significant expansion. There can be no assurance that it will achieve this expansion. Additionally, expansion may place a significant strain on Veea’s management, operational and financial resources. There can be no assurance that Veea’s current and planned personnel, systems, procedures and controls will be adequate to support its future operations at any increased level. Veea’s ability to manage such growth effectively will require Veea to develop and improve operational, management and financial systems and controls and to hire, train, motivate and manage its employees and contractors. As a result, Veea is subject to significant growth-related risks, including the risk that it will be unable to hire or retain the necessary personnel or acquire other resources necessary to service such growth adequately. Veea’s failure to manage growth effectively could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

If Veea does not develop enhancements to its services and introduce new services that achieve market acceptance, its growth, business, results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

Veea’s ability to attract new clients and increase revenue from existing clients depends, in part, on its ability to enhance and improve its existing offerings, increase adoption and usage of its offerings, and introduce new offerings. The success of any enhancements or new offerings depends on several factors, including timely completion, adequate quality testing, actual performance quality, market accepted pricing levels and overall market acceptance.

Enhancements and new services that Veea develops may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain errors or defects, may have interoperability difficulties with its platform or other services or may not achieve the broad market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue. Furthermore, Veea’s ability to increase the usage of its services depends, in part, on the development of new uses for its services, which may be outside of its control. If Veea is unable to successfully enhance its existing services to meet evolving consumer requirements, increase adoption and usage of its services, develop new services, or if its efforts to increase the usage of its services are more expensive than Veea expects, then its business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.

Competition may impact Veea’s results and its ability to operate profitably.

The markets in which Veea operates are competitive in terms of price, functionality, service quality, customization, timing of development, and the introduction of new products and services. Veea may encounter increased competition from new market entrants and alternative technologies. Veea’s competitors may implement new technologies before Veea does, offer more attractively priced or enhanced products, services or solutions,

33

Table of Contents

or they may offer other incentives that Veea does not provide. Some of Veea’s competitors may also have greater resources in certain business segments or geographic areas than Veea does. In addition, industry convergence and consolidation could potentially result in stronger competitors with greater resources and competitive advantages than Veea.

If Veea fails to compete effectively, this could have a materially adverse effect on Veea’s revenues, financial condition, profitability and cash flows. Competitive forces may also lead to reduced profit margins, loss of market share, and increased costs in research and development, manufacturing, and sales and marketing expense.

Veea’s sales efforts involve considerable time and expense and its sales cycle is often long and unpredictable.

Veea’s results of operations may fluctuate, in part, because of the intensive nature of Veea’s sales efforts and the length and unpredictability of Veea’s sales cycle. As part of Veea’s sales efforts, Veea invests considerable time and expense evaluating the specific organizational needs of its potential customers and educating these potential customers about the technical capabilities and value of our platforms and services. Veea often also provides its platforms to potential customers at no or low cost initially to them for evaluation purposes through short-term pilot deployments of Veea’s platforms, and there is no guarantee that Veea will be able to convert customers from these short-term pilot deployments to full revenue-generating contracts. The length of Veea’s sales cycle, from initial demonstration of its platforms to sale of its platforms and services, tends to be long and varies substantially from customer to customer. Veea’s sales cycle often lasts many months. Because decisions to purchase Veea’s platforms involves significant financial commitments, potential customers generally evaluate Veea’s platforms at multiple levels within their organization, each of which often have specific requirements and typically involve their senior management.

Veea’s results of operations depend on sales to government and commercial enterprise organizations, which make product purchasing decisions based in part or entirely on factors, or perceived factors, not directly related to the features of the platforms, including, among others, that customer’s projections of business growth, uncertainty about macroeconomic conditions, capital budgets, anticipated cost savings from the implementation of our platforms, potential preference for such customer’s internally-developed solutions, perceptions about Veea’s business and platforms, more favorable terms offered by potential competitors, and previous technology investments. In addition, certain decision makers and other stakeholders within Veea’s potential customers tend to have vested interests in the continued use of internally developed or existing solutions, which may make it more difficult for us to sell our platforms and products. As a result of these and other factors, Veea’s sales efforts typically require an extensive effort throughout a customer’s organization, a significant investment of human resources, expense and time, including by its senior management, and there can be no assurances that it will be successful in making a sale to a potential customer. If Veea’s sales efforts to a potential customer do not result in sufficient revenue to justify Veea’s investments, including in its growing direct sales force, its business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected.

Veea’s ability to sell its platform and satisfy its customers is dependent on the quality of its services, and its failure to offer high quality services could have a material adverse effect on its sales and results of operations.

Once Veea’s platforms are deployed and integrated with our customers’ existing information technology investments and data, Veea’s customers depend on our support and maintenance services to resolve any issues relating to our platforms. Increasingly, Veea’s platforms have been deployed in large-scale, complex technology environments, and Veea believes its future success will depend on its ability to increase sales of its platforms for use in such deployments. Further, its ability to provide effective ongoing services, or to provide such services in a timely, efficient, or scalable manner, may depend in part on its customers’ environments and their upgrading to the latest versions of its platforms and participating in its centralized platform management and services.

In addition, Veea’s ability to provide effective services is largely dependent on our ability to attract, train, and retain qualified personnel with experience in supporting customers on platforms such as Veea’s platforms. The number of Veea’s customers has grown significantly, and that growth has and may continue to put additional pressure on its services teams. Veea may be unable to respond quickly enough to accommodate short-term increases in customer demand for its support and maintenance services. Veea also may be unable to modify the future scope and delivery of its support and maintenance services to compete with changes in the services provided by its competitors. Increased customer demand for support, without corresponding revenue, could increase costs and negatively affect

34

Table of Contents

Veea’s business and results of operations. In addition, as Veea continues to grow its operations and expand outside of the United States, Veea needs to be able to provide efficient services that meet its customers’ needs globally at scale, and its services teams may face additional challenges, including those associated with operating the platforms and delivering support, training, and documentation in languages other than English and providing services across expanded time-zones. If Veea is unable to provide efficient support and maintenance services globally at scale, its ability to grow its operations may be harmed, and Veea may need to hire additional services personnel, which could negatively impact its business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Veea’s customers typically need training in the proper use of and the variety of benefits that can be derived from its platforms to maximize the potential of its platforms. If Veea does not effectively deploy, update, or upgrade its platforms, succeed in helping its customers quickly resolve post-deployment issues, and provide effective ongoing services, Veea’s ability to sell additional products and services to existing customers could be adversely affected, Veea may face negative publicity, and its reputation with potential customers could be damaged. Many enterprise and government customers require higher levels of service than smaller customers. If Veea fails to meet the requirements of the larger customers, it may be more difficult to execute on its strategy to increase its penetration with larger customers. As a result, Veea’s failure to maintain high quality services may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

Real or perceived errors, failures, defects, or bugs in Veea’s platforms could adversely affect its results of operations and growth prospects.

Because Veea offers very complex technology platforms, undetected errors, defects, failures, or bugs have occurred and may in the future occur, especially when platforms or capabilities are first introduced or when new versions or other product or infrastructure updates are released. Veea’s platforms are often installed and used in large-scale computing environments with different operating systems, software products and equipment, and data source and network configurations, which may cause errors or failures in Veea’s platforms or may expose undetected errors, failures, or bugs in its platforms. Despite testing by Veea, errors, failures, or bugs may not be found in new software or releases until after commencement of commercial shipments. In the past, errors have affected the performance of its platforms and can also delay the development or release of new platforms or capabilities or new versions of platforms, adversely affect its reputation and its customers’ willingness to buy platforms from Veea, and adversely affect market acceptance or perception of Veea’s platforms. Many of Veea’s customers use its platforms in applications that are critical to their businesses or missions and may have a lower risk tolerance to defects in Veea’s platforms than to defects in other, less critical, software products. Any errors or delays in releasing new software or new versions of platforms or allegations of unsatisfactory performance, errors, defects, or failures in released software could cause Veea to lose revenue or market share, increase Veea’s service costs, cause Veea to incur substantial costs in redesigning the software, cause Veea to lose significant customers, subject Veea to liability for damages and divert Veea’s resources from other tasks, any one of which could materially and adversely affect Veea’s business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, Veea’s platforms could be perceived to be ineffective for a variety of reasons outside of its control. Hackers or other malicious parties could circumvent Veea’s or Veea’s customers’ security measures, and customers may misuse Veea’s platforms resulting in a security breach or perceived product failure.

Real or perceived errors, failures, or bugs in our platforms and services, or dissatisfaction with Veea’s services and outcomes, could result in customer terminations and/or claims by customers for losses sustained by them. In such an event, Veea may be required, or Veea may choose, for customer relations or other reasons, to expend additional resources in order to help correct any such errors, failures, or bugs. Although Veea has limitation of liability provisions in Veea’s standard software licensing and service agreement terms and conditions, these provisions may not be enforceable in some circumstances, may vary in levels of protection across our agreements, or may not fully or effectively protect Veea from such claims and related liabilities and costs.

Veea generally provides a warranty to its customers for its software products and services. In the event that there is a failure of warranties in such agreements, Veea is generally obligated to correct the product or service to conform to the warranty provision as set forth in the applicable agreement, or, if Veea is unable to do so, the customer is entitled to seek a refund of the purchase price of the product and service (generally prorated over the contract term). The sale and support of Veea’s products also entail the risk of product liability claims. Veea maintains

35

insurance to protect against certain claims associated with the use of its products, but its insurance coverage may not adequately cover any claim asserted against us. In addition, even claims that ultimately are unsuccessful could result in Veea’s expenditure of funds in litigation and divert management’s time and other resources.

In addition, Veea’s platforms integrate a wide variety of other elements, and Veea’s platforms must successfully interoperate with products from other vendors and its customers’ internally developed software. As a result, when problems occur for a customer using Veea’s platforms, it may be difficult to identify the sources of these problems, and Veea may receive blame for a security, access control, or other compliance breach that was the result of the failure of one of the other elements in a customer’s or another vendor’s information technology, security, or compliance infrastructure. The occurrence of software or errors in data, whether or not caused by Veea’s platforms, could delay or reduce market acceptance of Veea’s platforms and have an adverse effect on Veea’s business and financial performance, and any necessary revisions may cause Veea to incur significant expenses. The occurrence of any such problems could harm Veea’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. If an actual or perceived breach of information correctness, auditability, integrity, or availability occurs in one of our customers’ systems, regardless of whether the breach is attributable to Veea’s platforms, the market perception of the effectiveness of Veea’s platforms could be harmed. Alleviating any of these problems could require additional significant expenditures of Veea’s capital and other resources and could cause interruptions, delays, or cessation of Veea’s product licensing, which could cause Veea to lose existing or potential customers and could adversely affect Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and growth prospects.

A product failure could expose Veea to damages (including consequential damages or strict liability) if used in certain critical usage situations (e.g., monitoring a critical system like a transportation control system or water level control use case). Veea’s contractual liability disclaimers could be set-aside by a court or administrative agency, exposing Veea to economic and reputational injury.

Veea bears costs and risks associated with relying on distribution and partnering arrangements.

Recruiting and retaining qualified third-party distributors and channel partners and training them in our technology and product offerings require significant time and resources. To develop and expand our distributors and channel partners, we must continue to scale and improve our processes and procedures that support our distributors and channel partners.

Furthermore, if our relationship with a successful distributor or channel partner terminates, we may be unable to replace them without disruption to our business. If we fail to maintain positive relationships with our distributors or channel partners, fail to develop new relationships with other distributors or channel partners (including in new markets), fail to manage, train, or incentivize our existing distributors or channel partners effectively, or fail to strike agreements with attractive terms, or if our distributors and channel partners are not successful in their businesses, our revenue may decrease, and our operating results, reputation, and business may be harmed.

Additionally, if Veea does not effectively manage its sales channel and distributor inventory and product mix, it may incur costs associated with excess inventory, or lose sales from having too few products. If we improperly forecast demand for our products, we could incur increased expenses associated with writing off excessive or obsolete inventory, lose sales, incur penalties for late delivery or incur additional costs by having to ship products by air freight.

Any disruption of Veea’s operations, whether due to natural or political events, may be highly damaging to the operation of Veea’s business.

Veea’s business operations and those of its suppliers are vulnerable to interruption by fire, earthquake, hurricane, flood or other natural disasters, power loss, computer viruses, computer systems failure, telecommunications failure, pandemics, quarantines, national catastrophe, terrorist activities, war and other events beyond its control. If any disaster were to occur, our or our supplier’s ability to operate could be seriously impaired and Veea could experience material harm to our business, operating results and financial condition.

The delivery of goods from suppliers, and to customers, could also be hampered for the reasons stated above. Interruptions to Veea’s systems and communications may have an adverse effect on Veea’s operations and financial condition.

36

Veea’s operations are complex and rely on third party manufacturers. If critical components used in Veea’s products become scarce or unavailable, Veea may incur delays in delivering its products and providing services, which could damage its business. Veea relies on a sustainable supply chain. Any issues with this supply chain could adversely affect daily business operations and profitability.

Veea depends on third party providers, suppliers and licensors to supply some of the hardware, software and support necessary to provide some of Veea’s products and services. Veea obtains these materials from a limited number of vendors, some of which do not have a long operating history, or which may not be able to continue to supply the equipment, supplies, and services it desires. Some of Veea’s hardware, software and operational support vendors represent Veea’s primary or sole source of supply or have, either through contract or as a result of intellectual property rights, a position of some exclusivity. If demand exceeds these vendors’ capacity or if these vendors experience operating or financial difficulties or are otherwise unable to provide the equipment or services Veea needs in a timely manner, at its specifications and at reasonable prices, its ability to provide some services might be materially adversely affected, or the need to procure or develop alternative sources of the affected materials or services might delay Veea’s ability to serve our customers. These events could materially and adversely affect Veea’s ability to retain and attract customers, and have a material negative impact on Veea’s operations, business, financial results and financial condition.

Veea’s reliance on third-party manufacturers also exposes Veea to the following risks over which it has limited control:

• unexpected increases in manufacturing and repair costs;

• inability to control the timing, quality and reliability of finished products;

• inability to control delivery schedules;

• liability for expenses incurred by third-party manufacturers in reliance on forecasts that later prove to be inaccurate, including the cost of components purchased by third-party manufacturers on Veea’s behalf;

• industry consolidation and divestitures, which may result in changed business and product priorities among certain suppliers.

• lack of adequate capacity to manufacture all or a part of the products Veea requires; and

• labor unrest affecting the ability of the third-party manufacturers to produce Veea products.

Veea depends on its management team and other key employees, and the loss of one or more of these employees or an inability to attract and retain highly skilled employees could adversely affect its business.

Veea’s future success depends, in part, on Veea’s ability to continue to attract and retain highly skilled personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, or delays in hiring required personnel, particularly in engineering and sales, may seriously and adversely affect Veea’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Although Veea has entered into employment or consulting agreements with certain of Veea’s personnel, their employment is generally for no specific duration.

Veea’s future performance also depends on the continued services and continuing contributions of Veea’s senior management team, which include Allen Salmasi, Veea’s Founder and Chief Executive Officer to execute on Veea’s business plan and to identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations. Veea has not entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Salmasi. The loss of services of Veea’s senior management team, particularly Veea’s Chief Executive Officer could significantly delay or prevent the achievement of Veea’s development and strategic objectives, which could adversely affect Veea’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Veea may not be successful in continuing to attract and retain highly qualified employees to remain competitive.

Veea believes that Veea’s future success largely depends on Veea’s continued ability to hire, develop, motivate and retain engineers and other qualified employees who develop successful new products/solutions, support Veea’s existing product range and provide services to Veea’s customers and create great customer experience.

Competition for highly qualified people in the industries in which Veea operates remains intense. This competition is only further increased by the fact that other industries are looking for similar talent. Veea is continuously striving to create a positive work experience for its employees. However, there are no guarantees that Veea will be successful in attracting and retaining employees with the right skills in the future, and failure in retaining and recruiting could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business and brand.

Veea’s management team has limited experience managing a public company and regulatory compliance may divert their attention from the day-to-day management of Veea’s business.

Most of the individuals who now constitute Veea’s management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, interacting with public company investors and complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum’s management team, which is expected to consist mostly of Veea’s current management team, may not successfully or efficiently manage the transition to being a public company subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under federal securities laws and the continuous scrutiny of securities analysts and investors. These new obligations and constituents will require significant attention from New Plum’s senior management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of the businesses, which could adversely affect New Plum’s businesses. It is probable that New Plum will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company, which would increase New Plum’s operating costs in future periods.

Global economic conditions could materially adversely impact demand for Veea’s products and services.

Veea’s operations and performance depend significantly on worldwide economic conditions. Uncertainty about global economic conditions could result in customers postponing purchases of Veea’s products and services in response to tighter credit, unemployment, negative financial news and/or declines in income or asset values and other macroeconomic factors, which could have a material negative effect on demand for Veea’s products and services and, accordingly, on Veea’s business, results of operations or financial condition. For example, any economic and political uncertainty caused by the United States tariffs imposed on goods from various countries, and any corresponding tariffs from those countries in response, may negatively impact demand and/or increase the cost for Veea’s products. There is also potential adverse impact including reduced demand for products and services, excess and obsolete inventories, financial difficulties among our suppliers and vendors, difficulty in collecting on accounts receivable, increased difficulty in forecasting sales and operating results and increased volatility in results.

The challenging global economic conditions, e.g., downturn in the global economy, political unrest and uncertainty, labor and supply shortages, increasing inflation and rising interest rates, or geopolitical risks and trade frictions may have adverse, wide-ranging effects on demand for Veea’s products and for the products of Veea’s customers. This could cause customers to postpone investments or initiate other cost-cutting measures to maintain or improve their financial position. This could also result in significantly reduced expenditures for Veea’s products and services, including network infrastructure, in which case Veea’s operating results would suffer. If demand for the Veea’s products and services were to fall, Veea may experience material adverse effects on Veea’s revenues, cash flow, capital employed and value of Veea’s assets and Veea could incur operating losses. The potential adverse effects of an economic downturn include:

• reduced demand for products and services, resulting in increased price competition or deferrals of purchases, with lower revenues not fully compensated through reduced costs;

• excess and obsolete inventories and excess manufacturing capacity;

• financial difficulties or failures among Veea’s suppliers;

• increased demand for customer finance, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable and increased risk of counter party failures;

• impairment losses related to Veea’s intangible assets as a result of lower forecasted sales of certain products; and

• increased difficulties in forecasting sales and financial results as well as increased volatility in Veea’s reported results.

Veea’s operations in foreign countries expose us to certain risks inherent in doing business internationally, which may adversely affect Veea’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

Veea has revenue, operations, contract manufacturing arrangements in foreign countries that expose Veea to certain risks. For example, fluctuations in exchange rates may affect Veea’s revenue, expenses and results of operations as well as the value of Veea’s assets and liabilities as reflected in our financial statements. Veea is also subject to other types of risks, including the following:

• protection of intellectual property and trade secrets;

• tariffs, customs, trade sanctions, trade embargoes and other barriers to importing/exporting materials and products in a cost-effective and timely manner, or changes in applicable tariffs or custom rules;

• the burden of complying with and changes in U.S. or international taxation policies;

• timing and availability of export licenses including authorization for the export of controlled items;

• rising labor costs;

• disruptions in or inadequate infrastructure of the countries where Veea operates;

• the impact of public health epidemics on employees and the global economy;

• difficulties in collecting accounts receivable;

• difficulties in staffing and managing international operations; and

• the burden of complying with foreign and international laws and treaties.

Disruptions to the global supply chain may affect the timely manufacture and delivery of products.

Veea is subject to variations and disruptions in the availability, price, and lead times for component parts for its products. During such periods, Veea may experience longer than normal lead time for component parts. Increased costs as a result of excessive demand for parts. In addition, contract manufacturers may be limited in terms of credit terms they can offer. This may require Veea to pay deposits in advance of production, or to seek alternative financing. These problems may be compounded further by finite manufacturing capacity. The impact to Veea and its customers is longer than expected product delivery schedules which has a direct effect on revenue recognition and cash collection.

Ongoing geopolitical and trade uncertainty from a range of factors may have a material adverse impact on Veea’s business, operations, business prospects and consequently on operating results, financial conditions and Veea’s ability to meet Veea’s targets.

Veea is subject to the increasing adverse impact of trade disputes, restrictions on imports and exports, export controls, the dismantling of dispute settlement mechanisms, and the increased control of national resources like airwaves and communications standards. Additional risks include the need to modify, change or eliminate current manufacturing capability and capacity, find alternative sources of supply and manufacturing resources and comply with rules and regulations for local sourcing and investment.

Geopolitical alliances are shifting as global tensions, including between US and China, drive growing economic, technological, military, and political competition across the world. At the same time, there are numerous ongoing local and regional conflicts, of which the ongoing military conflict between the Ukraine and Russia, are of particular significance. It is not yet clear how these new dynamics will play out across the world. These tensions, including trade restrictions, enhanced sanctions measures and increased safeguards for national security purposes, can impact global market conditions and continue to be challenging for global supply chains.

Because some of Veea’s products are manufactured in China and Taiwan, further changes in the economic and political policies in or relating to China and tensions between China and Taiwan could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business. Additionally, political instability in the regions in which Veea operates may further increase the

39

Table of Contents

risk of possible legal or regulatory violations by Veea or its suppliers, agents and employees. Any violation could cause severe reputational harm to Veea and a material adverse effect on Veea’s business operations. Additional impacts could include:

• reduced or lost market access;

• decreased ability for unrestricted use of Veea’s global supply chain for all markets, e.g., as a result of import or export restrictions in the US and China;

• increased trade restrictions, including economic sanctions and export controls, tariffs and increased costs which may not be recoverable;

• separation of global standards for mobile telecommunication;

• sourcing restrictions and constraints for access to hardware and software products and components;

• reduced efficiency in research and development (“R&D”) and restrictions in use of R&D resources;

• deferrals of purchases, with lower revenues not fully compensated through reduced costs;

• excess and obsolete inventories and excess manufacturing capacity;

• financial difficulties or failures among Veea’s suppliers;

• impairment losses related to Veea’s intangible assets as a result of lower forecasted sales of certain products; and

• increased difficulties in forecasting sales and financial results as well as increased volatility in Veea’s reported results.

If Veea fails to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting or identify a material weakness or significant deficiency in its internal control over financial reporting, Veea’s ability to report its financial condition and results of operations in a timely and accurate manner could be adversely affected, investor confidence in Veea company could diminish, and the value of its stock may decline.

Preparing Veea’s consolidated financial statements involves a number of complex manual and automated processes, which are dependent upon individual data input or review and require significant management judgment. One or more of these processes may result in errors that may not be detected and could result in a material misstatement or other errors of Veea’s consolidated financial statements. Such errors may be more likely to occur when implementing new systems and processes, particularly when implementing evolving and complex accounting rules. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) requires, among other things, that as a publicly traded company, Veea discloses whether our internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Veea’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. While Veea continually undertakes steps to improve Veea’s internal controls over financial reporting as Veea’s business changes, Veea may not be successful in making the improvements and changes necessary to be able to identify and remediate control deficiencies or material weaknesses on a timely basis. If Veea is unable to successfully remediate any current or future material weaknesses in Veea’s internal controls over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of Veea’s financial reporting may be adversely affected; Veea’s liquidity, access to capital markets and perceptions of Veea’s creditworthiness may be adversely affected; Veea may be unable to maintain compliance with securities laws, stock exchange listing requirements and debt instruments covenants regarding the timely filing of periodic reports; Veea may be subject to regulatory investigations and penalties; investors may lose confidence in its financial reporting; Veea may suffer defaults under Veea’s debt instruments; and Veea’s stock price may decline.

Risks Related to Our Intellectual Property

If Veea is unable to obtain and maintain patent protection for Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea develops, or if the scope of the patent protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, Veea’s competitors could develop and commercialize products and technology similar or identical to Veea’s, and Veea’s ability to successfully commercialize Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop may be adversely affected.

Veea’s success depends in large part on Veea’s ability to obtain and maintain patent protection in the U.S. and other countries with respect to Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop. In order to protect Veea’s proprietary position, Veea has filed and intends to file additional patent applications in the U.S. and abroad relating to Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop; however, there can be no assurance that any such patent applications will issue as granted patents or that a granted patent will provide sufficient coverage for Veea’s products. If Veea is unable to obtain or maintain patent protection with respect to Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop, Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially harmed.

The patent prosecution process is expensive, time-consuming and complex, and Veea may not be able to file, prosecute, maintain, enforce, or license all necessary or desirable patent applications at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner. It is also possible that Veea will fail to identify patentable aspects of Veea’s research and development output in time to obtain patent protection. Although Veea enters into non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with parties who have access to confidential or patentable aspects of Veea’s research and development output, such as Veea’s employees, corporate collaborators, outside collaborators, contract manufacturers, consultants, advisors and other third parties, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose such output before a patent application is filed, thereby jeopardizing Veea’s ability to seek patent protection. In addition, Veea’s ability to obtain and maintain valid and enforceable patents depends on whether the differences between Veea’s inventions and the prior art allow Veea’s inventions to be patentable over the prior art. Furthermore, publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the U.S. and other jurisdictions are typically not published until 18 months after filing, or in some cases not at all. Therefore, Veea cannot be certain that Veea or Veea’s licensors were the first to make the inventions claimed in any of Veea’s owned or licensed patents or pending patent applications, or that Veea or Veea’s licensors were the first to file for patent protection of such inventions.

The patent position of technology companies generally is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. As a result, the issuance, scope, validity, enforceability and commercial value of Veea’s patent rights are highly uncertain. Veea’s patent applications may not result in patents being issued which protect Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies which Veea may develop, or which effectively prevent others from commercializing competitive technologies and products. In particular, Veea’s ability to stop third parties from making, using, selling, offering to sell, or importing products that infringe Veea’s intellectual property will depend in part on Veea’s success in obtaining and enforcing patent claims that cover all of Veea’s technology, inventions and improvements. With respect to both licensed and company-owned intellectual property, Veea cannot be sure that patents will be granted with respect to any of Veea’s pending patent applications or with respect to any patent applications filed by us in the future. Moreover, even issued patents do not provide Veea with the right to practice Veea’s technology in relation to the commercialization of Veea’s products. Third parties may have blocking patents that could be used to prevent us from commercializing Veea’s products and practicing Veea’s proprietary technology. Veea’s issued patent as well as patents that may issue in the future that Veea owns or licenses may be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, which could limit Veea’s ability to stop competitors from marketing related products or limit the length of the term of patent protection that Veea may have for Veea’s products. Furthermore, Veea’s competitors may independently develop similar technologies.

Additionally, issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity, or enforceability, and Veea’s patents may be challenged in the courts or patent offices in the U.S. and abroad. Veea may be subject to a third-party pre-issuance submission of prior art to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) or in other jurisdictions, or become involved in opposition, derivation, revocation, reexamination, post-grant and inter partes review, or other similar proceedings challenging Veea’s patent rights. An adverse determination in any such submission, proceeding or litigation could reduce the scope of, invalidate or render unenforceable, Veea’s patent rights, allow third parties to commercialize Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop and

41

Table of Contents

compete directly with Veea, without payment to Veea, or result in Veea’s inability to manufacture or commercialize products without infringing third-party patent rights. Such proceedings also may result in substantial cost and require significant time from Veea’s scientists and management, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us.

In addition, if the breadth or strength of protection provided by Veea’s patents and patent applications is threatened, regardless of the outcome, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with Veea to license, develop or commercialize current or future products.

Veea may not be able to protect Veea’s intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting, maintaining, enforcing and defending patents and other intellectual property rights on Veea’s technology and any products Veea may develop in all jurisdictions throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and accordingly, Veea’s intellectual property rights in some jurisdictions outside the U.S. could be less extensive than those in the U.S. In some cases, Veea or Veea’s licensors may not be able to obtain patent or other intellectual property protection for certain technology and products outside the U.S. In addition, the laws of some foreign jurisdictions do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the U.S. Consequently, Veea and Veea’s licensors may not be able to obtain issued patents or other intellectual property rights covering any products Veea may develop and Veea’s technology in all jurisdictions outside the U.S. and, as a result, may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing Veea’s and Veea’s licensors’ inventions in all countries outside the U.S., or from selling or importing products made using Veea’s inventions in and into the U.S. or other jurisdictions. For example, third parties may use Veea’s technologies in jurisdictions where Veea and Veea’s licensors have not pursued and obtained patent or other intellectual property protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing, misappropriating or violating products to territories where Veea has patent or other intellectual property protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the U.S.

Additionally, many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of certain jurisdictions, particularly certain developing countries, do not favor the enforcement of patents, trade secrets and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement, misappropriation or other violation of Veea’s patent and other intellectual property rights or marketing of competing products in violation of Veea’s intellectual property rights generally. Proceedings to enforce Veea’s or Veea’s licensors’ patent and other intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert Veea’s efforts and attention from other aspects of Veea’s business, could put Veea’s patent and other intellectual property rights at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and Veea’s patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. Veea or Veea’s licensors may not prevail in any lawsuits that Veea or Veea’s licensors initiate and, if Veea or Veea’s licensors prevail, the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, Veea’s efforts to enforce Veea’s intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that Veea develop or license.

Many jurisdictions also have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to third parties, and many jurisdictions limit the enforceability of patents against government agencies or government contractors. In these jurisdictions, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of such patents. If Veea or any of Veea’s licensors is forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to Veea’s business, Veea’s competitive position may be impaired, and Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected.

Issued patents covering products Veea may develop could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged in court or before administrative bodies in the U.S. or abroad.

Veea’s owned and licensed patent rights may be subject to priority, validity, inventorship and enforceability disputes. If Veea or Veea’s licensors are unsuccessful in any of these proceedings, such patent rights may be narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable. The foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

For example, if Veea or one of Veea’s licensors initiate legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering any of Veea’s products or Veea’s technology, the defendant could counterclaim that the patent is invalid or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the U.S., defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of

42

Table of Contents

several statutory requirements, including lack of novelty, obviousness, lack of written description or non-enablement. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld information material to patentability from the USPTO, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. Third parties also may raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the U.S. or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such mechanisms include re-examination, interference proceedings, derivation proceedings, post grant review, inter partes review and equivalent proceedings such as opposition, invalidation and revocation proceedings in foreign jurisdictions. Such proceedings could result in the revocation or cancellation of or amendment to Veea’s patents in such a way that they no longer cover one or more of Veea’s products or Veea’s technology or no longer prevent third parties from competing with any products Veea may develop or Veea’s technology. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability is unpredictable. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a distraction to management and other employees. With respect to the validity question, for example, Veea cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art, of which the patent examiner and Veea or Veea’s licensing partners were unaware during prosecution. If a third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, Veea could lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection on one or more of Veea’s products or technology. Such a loss of patent protection could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Obtaining and maintaining Veea’s patent protection depends on compliance with various procedural, document submission, fee payment, and other requirements imposed by government patent agencies, and Veea’s patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees, and various other government fees on patents and applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO and various government patent agencies outside of the U.S. over the lifetime of Veea’s owned or licensed patents and applications. The USPTO and various non-U.S. government agencies require compliance with several procedural, documentary, fee payment and other similar provisions during the patent application process. In some cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. There are situations, however, in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in a partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, potential competitors might be able to enter the market with similar or identical products or technology, which could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Changes in patent law in the U.S. or worldwide could diminish the value of patents in general, thereby impairing Veea’s ability to protect any products Veea may develop and Veea’s technology.

Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of patent laws in the U.S. and worldwide, including patent reform legislation such as the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (the “Leahy-Smith Act”), could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of any owned or in-licensed patent applications and the maintenance, enforcement or defense of any in-licensed issued patents and issued patents Veea may own or in-license in the future. The Leahy-Smith Act includes a number of significant changes to U.S. patent law. These changes include provisions that affect the way patent applications are prosecuted, redefine prior art, provide more efficient and cost-effective avenues for competitors to challenge the validity of patents, and enable third-party submission of prior art to the USPTO during patent prosecution and additional procedures to attack the validity of a patent at USPTO administered post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter partes review, and derivation proceedings. Assuming that other requirements for patentability are met, prior to March 2013, in the U.S., the first to invent the claimed invention was entitled to the patent, while outside the U.S., the first to file a patent application was entitled to the patent. After March 2013, under the Leahy-Smith Act, the U.S. transitioned to a first-to-file system in which, assuming that the other statutory requirements for patentability are met, the first inventor to file a patent application will be entitled to the patent on an invention regardless of whether a third party was the first to invent the claimed invention. As such, the Leahy-Smith Act and its implementation could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of Veea’s patent applications and the enforcement or defense of patents to issue, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In addition, the patent positions of companies in the development and commercialization of biologics and pharmaceuticals are particularly uncertain. Recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings have narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances and weakened the rights of patent owners in certain situations.

Depending on future actions by the U.S. Congress, the federal courts and the USPTO, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s patent rights and Veea’s ability to protect, defend and enforce Veea’s patent rights in the future.

Veea may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship or ownership of Veea’s patent and other intellectual property rights.

Veea or Veea’s licensors may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in Veea’s owned or in-licensed patent rights, trade secrets or other intellectual property as an inventor or co-inventor. For example, Veea or Veea’s licensors may have inventorship disputes arise from conflicting obligations of employees, consultants or others who are involved in developing Veea’s products or technology. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these and other claims challenging inventorship or Veea’s or Veea’s licensors’ ownership of Veea’s owned or in-licensed patent rights, trade secrets or other intellectual property. If Veea or Veea’s licensors fail in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, Veea may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of or right to use intellectual property that is important to any products Veea may develop or Veea’s technology. Even if Veea is successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Veea may be subject to claims that Veea’s employees, consultants or advisors have wrongfully used or disclosed alleged trade secrets of their current or former employers or claims asserting ownership of what Veea regards as Veea’s own intellectual property.

Some of Veea’s employees, consultants and advisors are currently or were previously employed at other companies, including Veea’s competitors or potential competitors. Although Veea tries to ensure that Veea’s employees, consultants and advisors do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for us, Veea may be subject to claims that Veea or these individuals have used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information, of any such individual’s current or former employer. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If Veea fails in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, Veea may lose valuable intellectual property rights or personnel. Even if Veea is successful in defending against such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to Veea’s management.

In addition, while it is Veea’s policy to require Veea’s employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to us, Veea may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops intellectual property that Veea regards as Veea’s own. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing, or the assignment agreements may be breached, and Veea may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims that they may bring against us, to determine the ownership of what Veea regards as Veea’s intellectual property. Such claims could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Third-party claims of intellectual property infringement, misappropriation or other violations against us or Veea’s collaborators may prevent or delay the development and commercialization of Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop.

Veea’s commercial success depends in part on Veea’s ability to avoid infringing, misappropriating and otherwise violating the patents and other intellectual property rights of third parties. There is a substantial amount of complex litigation involving patents and other intellectual property rights in the technology industry, as well as administrative proceedings for challenging patents, including interference, derivation, reexamination, inter partes review and post-grant review proceedings before the USPTO or oppositions and other comparable proceedings in foreign jurisdictions.

Table of Contents

Numerous U.S. and foreign issued patents and pending patent applications owned by third parties exist in the fields in which Veea is commercializing or plan to commercialize Veea’s products and in which Veea is developing other proprietary technologies. As the technology industry expands and more patents are issued, the risk increases that Veea’s products and commercializing activities may give rise to claims of infringement of the patent rights of others. Veea cannot assure you that Veea’s products and other proprietary technologies Veea may develop will not infringe existing or future patents owned by third parties. Veea may not be aware of patents that have already been issued and that a third party, for example, a competitor in the fields in which Veea is developing Veea’s products, might assert as infringed by us. It is also possible that patents owned by third parties of which Veea is aware or patents that may issue in the future from patent applications owned by third parties of which Veea is aware, but which Veea does not believe Veea infringes or that Veea believes Veea has valid defenses to any claims of patent infringement, could be found to be infringed by us, such as in connection with one or more of Veea’s products. In addition, because patent applications can take many years to issue, and the scope of any patent claims that may ultimately issue are difficult to predict, there may be currently pending patent applications that may later result in issued patents that Veea may infringe and that, as a result, could harm Veea’s business.

In the event that any third-party claims that Veea infringes their patents or that Veea is otherwise employing their proprietary technology without authorization and initiates litigation against us, even if Veea believes such claims are without merit, a court of competent jurisdiction could hold that such patents are valid, enforceable and infringed by us. In this case, the holders of such patents may be able to block Veea’s ability to commercialize the infringing products or technologies unless Veea obtains a license under the applicable patents, or until such patents expire or are finally determined to be held invalid or unenforceable. Such a license may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if Veea is able to obtain a license, the license would likely obligate us to pay license fees or royalties or both, and the rights granted to us might be nonexclusive, which could result in Veea’s competitors gaining access to the same intellectual property. If Veea is unable to obtain a necessary license to a third-party patent on commercially reasonable terms, Veea may be unable to commercialize the infringing products or technologies or such commercialization efforts may be significantly delayed, which could in turn significantly harm Veea’s business.

Defense of infringement claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion of management and other employee resources from Veea’s business, and may impact Veea’s reputation. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, Veea may be enjoined from further developing or commercializing the infringing products or technologies. In addition, Veea may have to pay substantial damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees for willful infringement, obtain one or more licenses from third parties, pay royalties and/or redesign Veea’s infringing products or technologies, which may be impossible or require substantial time and monetary expenditure. In that event, Veea would be unable to further develop and commercialize Veea’s products or technologies, which could harm Veea’s business significantly. Further, Veea cannot predict whether any required license would be available at all or whether it would be available on commercially reasonable terms. Veea could be prevented from commercializing a product, or be forced to cease some aspect of Veea’s business operations, if, as a result of actual or threatened patent infringement claims, Veea is unable to enter into licenses on acceptable terms.

Veea may in the future pursue invalidity proceedings with respect to third-party patents. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity is unpredictable. Even if resolved in Veea’s favor, these legal proceedings may cause us to incur significant expenses, and could distract Veea’s technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of Veea’s common stock. Such proceedings could substantially increase Veea’s operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. If Veea does not prevail in the patent proceedings the third parties may assert a claim of patent infringement directed at Veea’s products.

Veea may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce Veea’s patents and other intellectual property rights, which could be expensive, time-consuming and unsuccessful.

Third parties, such as a competitor, may infringe Veea’s patent rights. In an infringement proceeding, a court may decide that a patent owned by Veea is invalid or unenforceable or may refuse to stop the other party from using the invention at issue on the grounds that the patent does not cover the technology in question. In addition,

45

Table of Contents

Veea’s patent rights may become involved in inventorship, priority or validity disputes. To counter or defend against such claims can be expensive and time-consuming. An adverse result in any litigation proceeding could put Veea’s patent rights at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly. Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of Veea’s confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation.

Even if resolved in Veea’s favor, litigation or other legal proceedings relating to intellectual property claims may cause us to incur significant expenses and could distract Veea’s personnel from their normal responsibilities. In addition, there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of Veea’s common stock. Such litigation or proceedings could substantially increase Veea’s operating losses and reduce the resources available for development activities or any future sales, marketing or distribution activities. Veea may not have sufficient financial or other resources to conduct such litigation or proceedings adequately. Some of Veea’s competitors may be able to sustain the costs of such litigation or proceedings more effectively than Veea can because of their greater financial resources and more mature and developed intellectual property portfolios. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of patent litigation or other proceedings could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s ability to compete in the marketplace.

If Veea’s trademarks and trade names are not adequately protected, then Veea may not be able to build name recognition in Veea’s markets of interest and Veea’s business may be adversely affected.

Veea’s registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names may be challenged, infringed, circumvented or declared generic or determined to be infringing on other marks. Veea may not be able to protect Veea’s rights to these trademarks and trade names, which Veea need to build name recognition among potential partners or customers in Veea’s markets of interest. At times, competitors or other third parties may adopt trade names or trademarks similar to ours, thereby impeding Veea’s ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of Veea’s registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names. Veea’s efforts to enforce or protect Veea’s proprietary rights related to trademarks, trade names, domain name or other intellectual property may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could adversely affect Veea’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks Related to Cybersecurity and Data Privacy

If Veea’s security measures are breached or fail and unauthorized access is obtained to a customer’s data, Veea’s service may be perceived as insecure, the attractiveness of its services to current or potential customers may be reduced, and Veea may incur significant liabilities.

Veea’s services involve the web-based and data storage and transmission of customers’ information. Veea relies on proprietary and commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring, as well as other processes, to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of such information. Because of the sensitivity of this information and due to requirements under applicable laws and regulations, the effectiveness of our security efforts is very important. If Veea’s security measures are breached or fail as a result of third-party action, acts of terror, social unrest, employee error, malfeasance or for any other reasons, someone may be able to obtain unauthorized access to customer data. Improper activities by third-parties, advances in computer and software capabilities and encryption technology, new tools and discoveries and other events or developments may facilitate or result in a compromise or breach of our security systems. Veea’s security measures may not be effective in preventing unauthorized access to the customer data stored on Veea’s servers. If a breach of our security occurs, Veea could face damages for contract breach, penalties for violation of applicable laws or regulations, possible lawsuits by individuals affected by the breach and significant remediation costs and efforts to prevent future occurrences. In addition, whether there is an actual or a perceived breach of Veea’s security, the market perception of the effectiveness of Veea’s security measures could be harmed and Veea could lose current or potential customers.

Cybersecurity incidents may have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, operations, financial performance, customer and vendor relationships, reputation and brand, and may introduce the possibility of litigations or regulatory investigations or actions.

Veea’s business operations are vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents that may impact the confidentiality, availability or integrity of information assets, IT assets, products, services, or solutions. These incidents may include data breaches, intrusions, espionage, data privacy infringements, leakage of confidential or sensitive data, unauthorized or accidental modification of data and general malfeasance.

Events or incidents that are caused as a result of vulnerabilities in software or products supplied to us could have a material adverse effect upon Veea, Veea’s business, financial performance, reputation and brand, potentially slowing operations, leaking valuable or sensitive information, personal data or damaging Veea’s products that have been installed in Veea’s customers’ networks.

It is possible that a cybersecurity incident in Veea’s operations or supply chain could have an adverse impact on the integrity of solutions or services provided by Veea as well as Veea’s ability to comply with legal, regulatory or contractual requirements. These incidents may include tampering with components, the inclusion of backdoors or implants, the unintentional inclusion of vulnerabilities in components or software, and cybersecurity incidents which prevent a supplier from being able to fulfil commitments to Veea.

Any cybersecurity incident including unintended use, misconfiguration, or unintended actions, involving Veea’s operations, supply chain, product development, services, third-party providers or installed product base, could cause severe harm to Veea and could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, financial performance, customer and vendor relationships, reputation and brand, and may introduce the possibility of litigation or regulatory investigations or actions.

The presence of vulnerabilities in Veea’s products, services or operations, may not be detected during product development and operations, and may be leveraged by a threat actor to cause material harm to Veea or Veea’s customers.

Vulnerabilities in Veea’s products, solutions or services not detected and treated during product development or solution delivery may be exploited by a threat actor to cause harm to Veea’s customers, end-users or Veea. Vulnerabilities could be brought in through different stages of the product life cycle. In some situations, it may be hard to detect these vulnerabilities due to their location, or due to the fact that they are unknown vulnerabilities, often referred to as “zero-day vulnerabilities.” As almost any modern software can contain open source and third-party components, so does software in networks, unmitigated security exposures can put Veea customers at varying levels of risk and expose Veea to liabilities or loss of business.

Veea, Veea’s partners, and others who use Veea’s services obtain and process a large amount of sensitive data. Any real or perceived improper or unauthorized use of, disclosure of, or access to such data could harm Veea’s reputation as a trusted brand, as well as have a material and adverse effect on Veea’s business.

Veea and Veea’s partners obtain and process large amounts of sensitive data, including data related to customers and their transactions as well as other users of Veea’s services. Veea faces risks, including to Veea’s reputation as a trusted brand in the handling and protection of this data, and these risks will increase as Veea’s business continues to expand to include new products and technologies. Our operations involve the storage and transmission of sensitive information of individuals. Veea has administrative, technical, and physical security measures in place, and Veea has policies and procedures in place to contractually require third parties to whom Veea transfers data to implement and maintain appropriate security measures. However, if Veea’s security measures or those of the previously mentioned third parties are inadequate or are breached as a result of third-party action, employee error, malfeasance, malware, phishing, hacking attacks, system error, trickery, or otherwise, and, as a result, someone obtains unauthorized access to sensitive information, including personally identifiable information or protected health information, on Veea’s systems or Veea’s partners’ systems, or if Veea suffers a ransomware or advanced persistent threat attack, or if any of the foregoing is reported or perceived to have occurred, Veea’s reputation and business could be damaged. If the sensitive information is lost or improperly disclosed or threatened to be disclosed, Veea could incur significant liability and be subject to regulatory scrutiny and penalties, including costs associated with remediation. Veea is also required to comply with ever-more stringent privacy regulations, the violation of which can lead to financial penalties and reputational injury.

Risks Related to Compliance with Law, Government Regulation and Litigation

Veea could experience penalties and adverse rulings in enforcement or other proceedings for non-compliance with laws, rules and regulations governing its business (e.g., frequency certifications).

Compliance with changed laws, rules or regulations may subject Veea to increased costs or reduced products and services demand. Compliance failures as well as required operational changes could have a material adverse impact on Veea, including its reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Further, Veea develops many of its products and services based on existing laws, rules, regulations and technical standards. Changes to existing laws, rules, regulations and technical standards, or the implementation of new laws, rules, regulations and technical standards relating to products and services not previously regulated, could adversely affect Veea’s development efforts by increasing compliance costs and causing delay. Regulatory changes related to e.g., license fees, environment, health and safety, privacy (including the cross-border transfer of personal data for example between the EU and the US), and other regulatory areas may increase costs and restrict Veea’s operations.

Veea is subject to certain US and other anti-corruption (including anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering, dual use regulations, sanctions, terror finance and anti-terrorism) laws, rules and regulations.

Veea is required to comply with anti-corruption (including anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, terror finance and anti-terrorism) laws, rules and regulations in the jurisdictions in which Veea does business. Veea has policies and procedures designed to assist us and our personnel in complying with applicable laws, rules and regulations, but our employees and subcontractors may from time to time take actions that violate these requirements. Actions by Veea’s employees or subcontractors, or by third party intermediaries acting on its behalf in violation of these laws, rules or regulations whether carried out in the US or elsewhere in connection with the conduct of Veea’s business may expose Veea to significant liability for violations of such laws, rules or regulations and may have a material adverse effect on Veea, including its reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, or prospects.

Veea could be subject to additional tax liabilities.

Veea is subject to federal, state, and local income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Determining Veea’s provision for income taxes requires significant management judgment, and the ultimate tax outcome may be uncertain. In addition, Veea’s provision for income taxes is subject to volatility and could be adversely affected by many factors, including, among other things, changes to Veea’s operating or holding structure, changes in the amounts of earnings in jurisdictions with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws. Moreover, Veea is subject to the examination of Veea’s income tax returns by tax authorities in the U.S. and various foreign jurisdictions, which may disagree with Veea’s calculation of research and development tax credits, cross-jurisdictional transfer pricing, or other matters and assess additional taxes, interest or penalties. While Veea regularly assesses the likely outcomes of these examinations to determine the adequacy of Veea’s provision for income taxes and Veea believes that its financial statements reflect adequate reserves to cover any such contingencies, there can be no assurance that the outcomes of such examinations will not have a material impact on Veea’s results of operations and cash flows. If U.S. or other foreign tax authorities change applicable tax laws, Veea’s overall taxes could increase, and Veea’s financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted.

Veea could become involved in lawsuits, legal proceedings and investigations which, if determined unfavorably, could require Veea to pay substantial damages, fines and/or penalties.

In the normal course of Veea’s business Veea could become involved in legal proceedings, including such matters as commercial disputes, claims regarding intellectual property, antitrust, tax and labor disputes, as well as government inquiries and investigations. Legal proceedings can be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of complex legal proceedings are difficult to predict. An unfavorable resolution of a particular matter could have a material adverse effect on Veea’s business, operating results, financial condition and reputation. As a publicly listed company, Veea may be exposed to lawsuits in which plaintiffs allege that Veea or its officers have failed to comply with securities laws, stock market regulations or other laws,

48

Table of Contents

regulations or requirements. Whether or not there is merit to such claims, the time and costs incurred to defend Veea and its officers and the potential settlement or compensation to the plaintiffs could have significant impact on Veea’s reported results and reputation.

Veea may fail to comply with environmental, social and governance standards, which could negatively affect Veea, including its reputation, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or prospects.

Veea is subject to environmental, social and governance laws, rules and regulations as well as sustainability and corporate responsibility requirements, and Veea expect such laws, rules, regulations and other requirements to increase as governments impose new laws, rules, regulations or other requirements. These laws, rules, regulations and other requirements have a high focus on anti-corruption (including anti-bribery, anti-money-laundering, sanctions, terror finance and anti-terrorism). To ensure that Veea’s operations are conducted in accordance with applicable laws, rules, regulations and other requirements, Veea’s employees are subject to ethical standards in its Employee Handbook and other sources.

There is also an increased demand from external stakeholders, for example investors, customers, suppliers and partners, for transparency about sustainability and corporate responsibility issues that might be difficult to fulfill. If Veea fails to adequately meet these expectations, our business may be adversely affected.

Potential health risks related to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may subject us to various product liability claims and result in regulatory changes.

The edge computing industry is subject to claims that mobile devices including edge routers and associated computing devices and other equipment that generate radiofrequency electromagnetic fields may expose individuals to health risks. At present, a substantial number of scientific reviews conducted by various independent research bodies have concluded that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, when used at levels within the limits prescribed by public health authority safety standards and recommendations, cause no adverse effects to human health. However, any perceived risk or new scientific findings of adverse health effects from mobile communication devices and equipment could adversely affect us through a reduction in sales or through liability claims. Although Veea’s products are designed to comply with currently applicable safety standards and regulations regarding radio frequency electromagnetic fields, Veea cannot guarantee that Veea will not become the subject of product liability claims. Veea also cannot guarantee that Veea will not be held liable for such claims or be required to comply with future changed regulatory requirements. Veea may in addition be affected by regulatory or other restrictions imposed on Veea’s customers use of radio equipment that may have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition, reputation and brand.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and Plum

Plum’s Sponsor has entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement with Plum and Veea to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how Plum’s Public Shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by the Public Shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, Plum’s Sponsor, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, has agreed, among other things, to vote all of its founder shares and other Public Shares in favor of all the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns approximately 71% of Plum’s issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. Accordingly, Plum would not need any of the Public Shares to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved, assuming all outstanding shares are voted on such proposal. If only a minimum quorum, consisting of a simple majority of outstanding Plum Ordinary Shares, is present at the Extraordinary General Meeting, Plum would not need any of the Class A ordinary shares sold in Plum’s Initial Public Offering to be voted in favor of the Business Combination Proposal in order for it to be approved. Accordingly, the agreement by the Sponsor to vote in favor of each of the proposals at the Extraordinary General Meeting will increase the likelihood that Plum will receive the requisite shareholder approval for the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby.

The fairness opinion obtained in connection with the Business Combination will not reflect changes in circumstances between the date of such opinion and the closing of the Business Combination.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Plum Board obtained a fairness opinion, rendered orally to the Plum Board on November 20, 2023 and subsequently confirmed in writing on December 28, 2023, to the effect that, as of that date and based on and subject to certain assumptions, factors and qualifications set forth therein, the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to Plum. The fairness opinion was based on assumptions, qualifications, limitations and other variables known at the time of its preparation. Such variables and assumptions are inherently uncertain and many are beyond the control of Veea or Plum. Plum will not obtain an additional updated fairness opinion prior to consummation of the Business Combination. Changes in the proposed operations and prospects of Veea, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of Plum or Veea, and on which the fairness opinion was based, may alter the value of Plum or Veea or the price of Plum’s securities by the time the Business Combination is completed. The fairness opinion does not speak to any date other than the date of such opinion, and as such, the opinion will not address the fairness of the Consideration, from a financial point of view, at any date after the date of such opinion, including at the time the Business Combination is completed. For a description of the opinion, see “Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Financial Advisor to Plum,” and a copy of the fairness opinion is attached hereto as Annex K.

Since Plum’s Initial Shareholders, directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of its shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Veea is appropriate as Plum’s initial business combination. Such interests include that Plum’s Initial Shareholders, directors and executive officers, will lose their entire investment in Plum if the initial business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of the Plum Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, you should keep in mind that Plum’s Initial Shareholders, including Plum’s directors and executive officers, have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to (which may conflict with), those of Plum shareholders generally.

These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

• the fact that our Initial Shareholders have agreed not to redeem any Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 8,625,000 founder, 7,980,409 of which were owned by the Sponsor following the forfeiture of 644,951 Class B ordinary shares when the over-allotment option expired on May 2, 2021. In connection with the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023, all Class B ordinary shares were converted into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. The 7,980,409 shares of New Plum Common Stock that the Initial Shareholders will hold following the Business Combination (including 1,726,994 shares subject to forfeiture if the Earnout Triggering Events do not occur), if unrestricted and freely tradable, and in the case of the shares held by the Sponsor, following expiration of the lock-up, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Share on the Nasdaq on , 2024, the most recent closing price. This represents a % gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by June 18, 2024, then the founder shares will be worthless;

• the fact that, given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the founder shares as compared to the price of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the New Plum Common Stock trades below $ per share and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Public Shareholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Public Shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $ per share;

50

Table of Contents

• the fact that, at the time of the Initial Public Offering, the Initial Shareholders and certain of Plum’s current officers and directors agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Ordinary Shares (other than Public Shares) held by them if Plum fails to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024. The Initial Shareholders and our officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the founder shares and Private Placement Warrants are dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize such persons to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Public Shareholders;

• the fact that Sponsor paid $9,384,327 for 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants, which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Warrant (although holders of the Private Placement Warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants) on Nasdaq on , 2024, the most recent closing price, and the fact that the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that the Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by the Sponsor and certain other affiliates of Plum;

• the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six (6) years following the consummation of the Business Combination, we are required to (i) maintain provisions in the Proposed Charter providing for continued indemnification of Plum’s directors and officers and (ii) continue Plum’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e., a “tail policy”);

• the fact that the Sponsor and Plum’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in Plum and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Plum to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 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 Plum has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Plum, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

• the fact that Plum may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by Plum outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates prior to the Closing; and

• the fact that it is currently contemplated that a designee of the Sponsor will serve as a director of New Plum following the Closing. As such, in the future such person may receive any cash fees or equity awards that the New Plum Board determines to pay its directors.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Plum’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to Public Shareholders rather than liquidate. Based on the closing price per share of the Public Shares on as reported on Nasdaq of $ , in the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $ million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of: 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares and 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor.

See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

In addition, Plum has not adopted a policy that expressly prohibits its directors, officers, security holders or affiliates from having a direct or indirect pecuniary or financial interest in any investment to be acquired or disposed of by Plum or in any transaction to which Plum is a party or has an interest. Plum does not have a policy that expressly prohibits any such persons from engaging for their own account in business activities of the types conducted by Plum. Accordingly, such persons or entities may have a conflict between their interests and Plum’s.

The personal and financial interests of Plum’s Initial Shareholders as well as Plum’s directors and executive officers may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Veea as a business combination target, completing an initial business combination with Veea and influencing the operation of the business following the consummation of the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the Plum Board to vote for the proposals, its shareholders should consider these interests.

The Articles Extension Proposal approved by Plum shareholders at the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023, gives the Board the authority to extend our termination date to a date that is in violation of applicable Nasdaq listing standards.

On September 13, 2023, Plum held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination from September 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023, and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the such date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six (6) times by an additional one month each time after December 18, 2023, by resolution of Plum’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until June 18, 2024, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date.

If the Plum Board elects to extend the termination date beyond March 18, 2024, and Plum has not completed a qualifying business combination transaction by March 18, 2024, it will be in violation of Nasdaq listing standards.

Section IM-5101-2(b) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules requires that any special purpose acquisition company, such as Plum, must within 36 months of the effectiveness of its Initial Public Offering registration statement, or such shorter period that the company specifies in its registration statement, complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the deposit account (excluding any deferred underwriters fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the deposit account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial combination. The date that is 36 months following the effectiveness of Plum’s Initial Public Offering registration statement is March 18, 2024. The Plum Board has the authority to further extend the termination date up to six times, in one month increments past December 18, 2023 (though the Board may decline to exercise this authority). If the Plum Board elects to extend the termination date each time that it is able to do so, the latest possible termination date would be June 18, 2024.

Any violation of Nasdaq Listing Rules would likely result in the suspension or delisting of Plum’s securities from Nasdaq, which would have a material adverse effect on the market prices of Plum’s securities and on shareholder liquidity. Additionally, any such delisting would materially and adversely impact Plum’s ability to pursue a business combination transaction, and would likely cause it to enter liquidation.

The Plum Board may decline to exercise a one-month extension that would otherwise be permitted if doing so would cause Plum to be in violation of applicable Nasdaq listing standards. There can be no assurance that the Nasdaq will change its listing standards, or forebear from enforcing them against Plum. Accordingly, the Plum Board may voluntarily elect not to extend the termination date beyond March 18, 2024 in order to avoid possible suspension or delisting.

The requirement that Plum consummates an initial business combination prior to June 18, 2024 may have given Veea leverage over Plum in negotiating the Business Combination and may have limited the time Plum had to conduct due diligence on Veea, which could undermine Plum’s ability to complete an initial business combination on terms that would produce value for Plum’s Public Shareholders.

Veea was aware during the negotiations concerning the Business Combination Agreement that Plum must consummate an initial business combination prior to June 18, 2024. Consequently, Veea may have obtained leverage over Plum in negotiating the Business Combination, knowing that if Plum does not complete an initial business combination with Veea, it may be unable to complete our initial business combination with any target business. In addition, Plum may have had limited time to conduct due diligence and may have entered into the Business Combination Agreement on terms that Plum would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation.

If the conditions to closing contained in the Business Combination Agreement are not met or waived, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Business Combination Agreement is approved by the shareholders of Plum, certain closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) the approval by the Plum shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) the completion of the offer to redeem the Class A ordinary shares of Plum; (iv) the New Plum Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (v) that Plum has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Closing may not be satisfied or waived. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, see the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.” Plum and Veea may not satisfy all of the closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement. If the closing conditions are not satisfied or waived by the applicable parties, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such delay may cause Plum and Veea to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.

Further, satisfying the conditions to, and the completion of, the Business Combination may take longer and could cost more than Plum expects. Any delay or additional costs incurred in connection with completing the Business Combination could materially affect the benefits that Plum expects to achieve from the Business Combination.

Plum may change or waive one or more of the terms of, or conditions to, the Business Combination, and the exercise of Plum’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to such changes may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in Plum’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require Plum to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Veea or to waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination and/or rights that Plum is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Veea’s business, a request by Veea 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 Veea’s business and would entitle Plum to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at Plum’s discretion, acting through the Plum Board, to grant its consent or waive those conditions or rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of the directors or executive officers described in the risk factor above may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) or executive officer(s) between what he, she or they may believe is best for Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Plum does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that Plum’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, Plum will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit Plum’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Plum will not have any right to make damage claims against Veea for the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Veea in the Business Combination Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement provides that all of the representations, warranties and covenants of the parties contained therein shall not survive the closing of the Business Combination, except for certain fraud claims and those covenants contained therein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing. Accordingly, there are no remedies available to Plum with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Veea after the Closing, and, as a result, Plum will have no remedy available to it if the Business Combination is consummated and it is later revealed that there was a breach of any of the representations, warranties and covenants made by Veea at the time of the Business Combination (except, in limited instances, for certain fraud claims and those covenants contained therein that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Closing).

The consummation of the Business Combination is subject to compliance with the HSR Act, and, if certain conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be completed.

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the FTC, unless a valid exception applies, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination cannot be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated. Further, at any time before or after completion of the Business Combination, the DOJ, the FTC, or any state could request additional information or could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Business Combination, to rescind the Business Combination or to seek divestiture of particular assets of Plum, New Plum, or Veea. Private parties also may seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. A challenge to the Business Combination on antitrust grounds may be made and, if such a challenge is made, it is possible that Plum and Veea will not prevail. Until the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated, or certain conditions satisfied or waived, the Business Combination may not be completed.

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, either Plum or Veea can refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect affecting the other party between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned Closing. However, certain types of changes do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Business Combination, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on Plum or Veea, including, but not limited to, the following events (except, in some cases, where the change has a disproportionate effect on a party):

• changes generally affecting the economy, financial or securities markets;

• the outbreak or escalation of war or any act of terrorism, civil unrest or natural disasters;

• changes (including changes in law) or general conditions in the industry in which the party operates; or

• changes attributable to the public announcement or pendency of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (including the impact thereof on relationships with customers, suppliers, employees and any federal, state, or local government entities).

Furthermore, Plum or Veea may waive the occurrence of a material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still complete the Business Combination, Plum’s share price may suffer.

Termination of the Business Combination Agreement could negatively impact Plum and Veea.

If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, including as a result of Plum shareholders declining to adopt the Business Combination Agreement or declining to approve the proposals required to effect the Business Combination, the ongoing businesses of Plum and Veea may be adversely impacted and, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination, Plum and Veea would be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

• Plum or Veea may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, including negative impacts on Plum’s stock price (including to the extent that the current market price reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed);

• Veea may experience negative reactions from its customers, vendors and employees;

• Plum and Veea will have incurred substantial expenses and will be required to pay certain costs relating to the Business Combination, whether or not the Business Combination is completed; and

54

Table of Contents

• since the Business Combination Agreement restricts the conduct of Plum’s and Veea’s businesses prior to completion of the Business Combination, each of Plum and Veea may not have been able to take certain actions during the pendency of the Business Combination that would have benefitted it as an independent company, and the opportunity to take such actions may no longer be available.

If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and Veea seeks another business combination, Veea stockholders cannot be certain that Veea will be able to find a party willing to offer equivalent or more attractive consideration than the consideration Plum has agreed to provide in the Business Combination or that such other business combination will be completed. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated and the Plum Board seeks another business combination, Plum shareholders cannot be certain that Plum will be able to find another acquisition target that would constitute a business combination or that such other business combination will be completed.

The market price of the shares of New Plum Common Stock may decline as a result of the Business Combination.

The market price of the shares of New Plum Common Stock may decline as a result of the Business Combination for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, if:

• investors react negatively to the prospects of New Plum’s business and the prospects of the Business Combination;

• the effect of the Business Combination on New Plum’s business and prospects is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts; or

• New Plum does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly or to the extent anticipated by financial or industry analysts.

The price of New Plum Common Stock may change significantly following the Business Combination, even if New Plum’s business is doing well, and you could lose all or part of your investment as a result.

The trading price of shares of New Plum Common Stock is likely to be volatile. The stock market recently has experienced extreme volatility. This volatility often has been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. You may not be able to resell your shares of New Plum Common Stock at an attractive price due to a number of factors such as those listed elsewhere herein and the following:

• results of operations that vary from the expectations of securities analysts and investors;

• results of operations that vary from those of New Plum’s competitors;

• changes in expectations as to New Plum’s future financial performance, including financial estimates and investment recommendations by securities analysts and investors;

• declines in the market prices of stocks generally;

• strategic actions by New Plum or its competitors;

• announcements by New Plum or its competitors of significant contracts, acquisitions, joint ventures, other strategic relationships or capital commitments;

• any significant change in New Plum’s management;

• changes in general economic or market conditions (including changes in interest rates or inflation) or trends in New Plum’s industry or markets;

• changes in business or regulatory conditions, including new laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations applicable to New Plum’s business;

• future sales of New Plum Common Stock or other securities;

• dilution as a result of future exercises of New Plum Warrants;

55

Table of Contents

• investor perceptions of the investment opportunity associated with New Plum Common Stock relative to other investment alternatives;

• the public’s response to press releases or other public announcements by New Plum or third parties, including New Plum’s filings with the SEC;

• litigation involving New Plum, New Plum’s industry, or both, or investigations by regulators into the New Plum Board, New Plum’s operations or those of New Plum’s competitors;

• guidance, if any, that New Plum provides to the public, any changes in this guidance or New Plum’s failure to meet this guidance;

• the development and sustainability of an active trading market for New Plum Common Stock;

• actions by institutional or activist stockholders;

• changes in accounting standards, policies, guidelines, interpretations or principles; and

• other events or factors, including those resulting from pandemics, natural disasters, war, acts of terrorism or responses to these events.

These broad market and industry fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of New Plum Common Stock, regardless of New Plum’s actual operating performance. In addition, price volatility may be greater if the public float and trading volume of New Plum Common Stock is low.

In the past, following periods of market volatility, stockholders have instituted securities class action litigation. If New Plum were involved in securities litigation, it could have a substantial cost and divert resources and the attention of management from New Plum’s business regardless of the outcome of such litigation.

After the Business Combination, New Plum intends to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-8 that will automatically become effective upon filing. New Plum’s issuance of additional shares of New Plum Common Stock or convertible securities could make it difficult for another company to acquire New Plum, may dilute your ownership of New Plum and could adversely affect price of New Plum Common Stock.

In connection with the Business Combination, New Plum intends to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-8 providing for the registration of shares of New Plum Common Stock issued or reserved for issuance under the Incentive Equity Plan. Subject to the expiration of any applicable lock-ups, shares registered under the registration statement on Form S-8 will automatically become effective upon filing and be available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction. The initial registration statement on Form S-8 is expected to cover approximately shares of New Plum Common Stock.

In addition, the shares of New Plum Common Stock reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Equity Plan to be adopted in the Business Combination will become eligible for sale in the public market once those shares are issued, subject to provisions relating to various vesting agreements, lock-up agreements and, in some cases, limitations on volume and manner of sale by affiliates under Rule 144, as applicable. shares of New Plum Common Stock (all of which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of incentive stock options) are expected to be reserved for future issuance under the Incentive Equity Plan, and such number is expected to increase by the lesser of % of the aggregate number of fully diluted shares of New Plum outstanding on the final day of the immediately preceding calendar year or such smaller number of shares as is determined by the administrator of the Incentive Equity Plan.

Future sales, or the perception of future sales, by New Plum or its stockholders in the public market following the Business Combination could cause the market price for shares New Plum Common Stock to decline, even if New Plum’s business is doing well.

The sale of shares of New Plum Common Stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of New Plum Common Stock. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for New Plum to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate.

Table of Contents

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is currently expected that New Plum will have a total of [•] shares of New Plum Common Stock outstanding (excluding the exercise of any Plum Warrants and assuming that there are no Redemptions of any Public Shares by the Public Shareholders in connection with the Business Combination). All shares of New Plum Common Stock issued to the Public Shareholders in the Business Combination will be freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act, and without restriction by persons other than New Plum’s “affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act), including New Plum’s directors, executive officers and other affiliates.

Following the expiration of the lock-ups under the Lock-Up Agreements, sales of a substantial number of shares of New Plum Common Stock in the public market could occur. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Plum Common Stock. As restrictions on resale end and registration statements (filed after the Closing to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time) are available for use, the sale or possibility of sale of these shares could have the effect of increasing the volatility in the share price of New Plum Common Stock or the market price of New Plum Common Stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

The Sponsor is liable to ensure that proceeds of the Trust Account are not reduced by vendor claims in the event an initial business combination is not consummated. The Sponsor has also agreed to pay for any liquidation expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated. Such liability may have influenced the Sponsor’s decision to pursue the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by Plum by June 18, 2024, the Sponsor will be liable under certain circumstances 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 Plum for services rendered or contracted for or products sold to Plum. If Plum consummates an initial business combination, including the Business Combination, on the other hand, Plum will be liable for all such claims. Neither Plum nor the Sponsor has any reason to believe that the Sponsor will not be able to fulfill its indemnity obligations to Plum.

These obligations of the Sponsor may have influenced the Sponsor’s decision to pursue the Business Combination. Certain of Plum’s Initial Shareholders have an indirect economic interest in the founder shares and the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Sponsor as a result of his or her membership interest in the Sponsor. In considering the recommendations of the Plum Board to vote for the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, Plum’s shareholders should consider these interests.

Plum and Veea have incurred and expect to incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination.

Plum and Veea have both incurred and expect to incur significant, nonrecurring costs in connection with the Business Combination. Plum and Veea will also incur significant legal, financial advisor, accounting, banking and consulting fees, fees relating to regulatory filings and notices, SEC filing fees, printing and mailing fees and other costs associated with the Business Combination. Some of these costs are payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed.

Past performance by Plum and by its management team may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in Plum or New Plum.

Past performance by Plum and by its management team is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of Plum or its management team’s performance as indicative of the future performance of an investment in Plum or New Plum or the returns Plum or New Plum will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

Plum’s Existing Governing Documents waive the doctrine of corporate opportunity.

Plum’s Existing Governing Documents provide that Plum renounces its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any director or officer unless such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of Plum and such opportunity is one Plum is legally and contractually permitted to undertake and would otherwise be reasonable for Plum to pursue, and to the extent the director or officer is

57

Table of Contents

permitted to refer that opportunity to Plum without violating another legal obligation. Plum believes there were no such corporate opportunities that were not presented as a result of these provisions in its Existing Governing Documents, but Plum cannot assure you that this provision did not impact its search for a business combination target.

Activities taken by existing Plum shareholders to increase the likelihood of approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus could have a depressive effect on Plum’s securities.

At any time prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Plum, the Sponsor, Plum’s directors, officers, advisors or any of their respective affiliates may purchase shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against the Business Combination Proposal, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Class A ordinary shares of Plum or vote their shares in favor of the Business Combination Proposal. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements to consummate the Business Combination where it appears that such requirements would otherwise not be met. Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on Plum’s securities. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than the market price and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares they own, either prior to or immediately after the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Because Veea is not conducting an underwritten public offering of its securities, no underwriter has conducted due diligence of Veea’s business, operations or financial condition or reviewed the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus.

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 he or she, 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 issuer and vet the issuer’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 Veea intends to become publicly traded through a business combination with Plum rather than through an underwritten public offering of its common stock, no underwriter is involved in the transaction. As a result, no underwriter has conducted diligence on Veea or Plum in order to establish a due diligence defense with respect to the disclosure presented in this proxy statement/prospectus. If such investigation had occurred, certain information in this proxy statement/prospectus may have been presented in a different manner or additional information may have been presented at the request of such underwriter. Investors in Plum and New Plum must rely on the information in this proxy statement/prospectus and will not have the benefit of an independent review and investigation of the type normally performed by an independent underwriter in a public securities offering. While sponsors, private investors and management in a business combination undertake a certain level of due diligence, it is not necessarily the same level of due diligence undertaken by an underwriter in a public securities offering and, therefore, there could be a heightened risk of an incorrect valuation of Veea’s business or material misstatements or omissions in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In addition, because there are no underwriters engaged in connection with the Business Combination, prior to the opening of trading on the trading day immediately following the Closing, there will be no traditional “roadshow” or book building process, and no price at which underwriters initially sold shares to the public to help inform efficient and sufficient price discovery with respect to the initial post-closing trades. Therefore, buy and sell orders submitted prior to and at the opening of initial post-closing trading of New Plum’s securities will not have the benefit of being informed by a published price range or a price at which the underwriters initially sold shares to the public, as would be the case in an underwritten Initial Public Offering. There will be no underwriters assuming risk in connection with an initial resale of New Plum’s securities or helping to stabilize, maintain or

58

Table of Contents

affect the public price of New Plum’s securities following the Closing. Moreover, New Plum will not engage in, and has not and will not, directly or indirectly, request financial advisors to engage in, any special selling efforts or stabilization or price support activities in connection with the New Plum securities that will be outstanding immediately following the Closing. In addition, since New Plum will become public through a merger, securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of New Plum since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of its shares of common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the future, want to conduct any offerings on New Plum’s behalf. All of these differences from an underwritten public offering of New Plum’s securities could result in a more volatile price for New Plum’s securities.

In addition, the Sponsor, certain members of the Plum Board and its officers, as well as their respective affiliates and permitted transferees, have interests in the Business Combination that are different from or are in addition to those of holders of New Plum’s securities following completion of the Business Combination, and that would not be present in an underwritten public offering of New Plum’s securities. Such interests may have influenced the Plum Board in making its recommendation that Plum shareholders vote in favor of the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus. See also “— Since Plum’s Initial Shareholders, directors and executive officers have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of its shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Veea is appropriate as Plum’s initial business combination. Such interests include that Plum’s Initial Shareholders, directors and executive officers, will lose their entire investment in Plum if the initial business combination is not completed.”

Such differences from an underwritten public offering may present material risks to unaffiliated investors that would not exist if New Plum became a publicly listed company through an underwritten Initial Public Offering instead of upon completion of the Business Combination.

The SEC has issued final rules relating to certain activities of SPACs. Certain of the procedures that Plum, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such rules may increase Plum’s costs and the time needed to complete its initial business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which Plum could complete an initial business combination. The need for compliance with the final rules may cause Plum to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “SPAC Final Rules”) relating, among other things, to disclosures in SEC filings in connection with Business Combination transactions between SPACs such as Plum and private operating companies; the financial statement requirements applicable to transactions involving shell companies; the use of projections by SPACs in SEC filings in connection with proposed Business Combination transactions; the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and the treatment of SPACs under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

In adopting the SPAC Final Rules, the SEC did not adopt the proposed safe harbor from treatment as an investment company under the Investment Company Act, but did provide guidance on activities that may raise concerns as to investment company status:

• Nature of SPAC assets and income. For instance, a SPAC that owns or proposes to acquire 40% or more of its total assets in investment securities or a SPAC whose income is substantially derived from such assets would likely be considered an investment company. Holding U.S. government securities, U.S. registered money market funds and cash items, as is customary for SPACs during the period between a SPAC’s initial public offering and de-SPAC transaction, should not result in investment company status.

• Management activities. Certain activities of the SPAC’s officers, directors and employees may be factors in the investment company determination, such as spending a considerable amount of time in managing the SPAC’s portfolio to achieve returns and not actively seeking a de-SPAC transaction.

• Duration. While the SEC does not offer a bright line rule as to the duration of the SPAC, if a SPAC continues to operate without completing a de-SPAC transaction and its assets are substantially composed of, and its income derived from, securities, its activities may be more difficult to distinguish from those

59

Table of Contents

of an investment company. The SEC guidance indicated that the 12-month safe harbor for transient investment companies under Rule 3a-2 and the 18-month limit contemplated by Rule 419 were relevant analogies in analyzing the investment company status of a SPAC and that the further a SPAC operated beyond those timelines, the greater the investment company concerns would be, depending on the overall facts and circumstances.

• Holding out. If the SPAC holds itself out as primarily engaged in investing, reinvesting or trading in securities, it will likely be considered an investment company.

• Merging with an investment company. If the target company in a de-SPAC transaction is an investment company, the SPAC is likely to be considered an investment company.

The SPAC Final Rules have not yet been adopted, and may be adopted in the proposed form or in a different form that could impose additional regulatory requirements on SPACs. Certain of the procedures that Plum, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with the SPAC Final Rules, or pursuant to the SEC’s views expressed in the SPAC Final Rules, may increase the costs and time of negotiating and completing an initial business combination, and may constrain the circumstances under which Plum could complete an initial business combination. Compliance with the SPAC Final Rules may cause Plum to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose. Were Plum to liquidate, its Warrants would expire worthless, and its securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in the combined company, including any potential price appreciation of Plum’s securities.

If Plum is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, it would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and Plum’s activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless Plum is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, Plum would expect to abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead move to liquidate.

As described further above, the SPAC Final Rules relate, among other matters, to the circumstances in which SPACs, including companies like Plum, could potentially be subject to the Investment Company Act and the regulations thereunder. If Plum is deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, its activities would be severely restricted, including:

• restrictions on the nature of Plum’s investments; and

• restrictions on the issuance of securities.

In addition, Plum would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements, including:

• registration as an investment company with the SEC;

• adoption of a specific form of corporate structure; and

• reporting, record keeping, proxy and disclosure requirements and other rules and regulations that Plum is not currently subject to.

Plum does not believe that its principal activities will subject it to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if Plum is deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, it would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which it has not allotted funds. As a result, unless Plum is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, Plum would expect to abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead move to liquidate.

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

Plum is subject to laws and regulations enacted by national, regional and local governments. In particular, Plum will be 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 Plum’s business, investments and results of operations, including Plum’s ability to negotiate and complete an initial business combination. In addition, a failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on Plum’s business, including its ability to negotiate and complete its initial business combination, and results of operations.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued the SPAC Final Rules, which, if implemented, may materially adversely affect Plum’s business, financial condition and results of operations. See “— The SEC has issued final rules relating to certain activities of SPACs. Certain of the procedures that Plum, a potential business combination target, or others may determine to undertake in connection with such rules may increase Plum’s costs and the time needed to complete its initial business combination and may constrain the circumstances under which Plum could complete an initial business combination. The need for compliance with the SPAC Final Rules may cause Plum to liquidate the funds in the Trust Account or liquidate at an earlier time than it might otherwise choose.” and “— If Plum is deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, it would be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and Plum’s activities would be severely restricted. As a result, in such circumstances, unless Plum is able to modify its activities so that it would not be deemed an investment company, Plum would expect to abandon its efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead move to liquidate.”

To mitigate the risk that Plum might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act, Plum may, at any time, instruct the trustee to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and instead instruct the trustee to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of Plum’s initial business combination or its liquidation. As a result, following the liquidation of securities in the Trust Account, Plum would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account, which would reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would receive upon any Redemption or liquidation of Plum.

The funds in the Trust Account have, since Plum’s Initial Public Offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of Plum being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, Plum may, at any time, instruct Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to liquidate the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash until the earlier of the consummation of Plum’s initial business combination or liquidation of the Company. Following such liquidation, Plum would likely receive minimal interest, if any, on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be released to Plum to pay its taxes, if any, and certain other expenses as permitted. As a result, any decision to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account and thereafter to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash would reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would receive upon any Redemption or liquidation of the Company.

The longer that the funds in the Trust Account are held in short-term U.S. government treasury obligations or in money market funds invested exclusively in such securities, the greater the risk that Plum may be considered an unregistered investment company, in which case Plum may be required to liquidate. Accordingly, Plum may determine, in its discretion, to liquidate the securities held in the Trust Account at any time and instead hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash, which would further reduce the dollar amount the Public Shareholders would receive upon any Redemption or liquidation of the Company.

Subsequent to the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum may be required to take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on its financial condition, results of operations and the share price of its securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

Plum cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Veea has identified all material issues or risks associated with Veea, its business or the industry in which it competes. As a result of these factors, Plum may incur additional costs and expenses and New Plum 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 Plum’s due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a

61

Table of Contents

manner not consistent with its preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on New Plum’s financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about its securities of New Plum. Accordingly, any shareholders of Plum who choose to remain New Plum stockholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares and Warrants. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by Plum’s officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

As a public reporting company, New Plum will be subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC regarding its internal controls over financial reporting. If New Plum fails to establish and maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, it may not be able to accurately report its financial results or report them in a timely manner, which could adversely affect New Plum’s business.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, New Plum will become a public reporting company subject to the rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC. These rules and regulations will require, among other things, that New Plum establish and periodically evaluate procedures with respect to its internal controls over financial reporting. Reporting obligations as a public company are likely to place a considerable strain on New Plum’s financial and management systems, processes, and controls, as well as on its personnel.

In addition, prior to the Business Combination, Veea has not been required to document and test its internal controls over financial reporting nor has Veea’s management been required to certify the effectiveness of its internal controls, and its auditors have not been required to opine on the effectiveness of Veea’s internal controls over financial reporting. However, as a public company, New Plum will be required to document and test its internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act so that New Plum’s management can certify as to the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting by the time New Plum’s second annual report is filed with the SEC and thereafter, which will require New Plum to document and make significant changes to its internal controls over financial reporting. As a public company, New Plum will be subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, as well as rules adopted, and to be adopted, by the SEC and Nasdaq, and other applicable securities rules and regulations, which impose various requirements on public companies, including the establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in corporate governance practices. New Plum’s management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time to these public company requirements. Moreover, these rules and regulations may substantially increase New Plum’s legal and financial compliance costs and may make some activities more time-consuming and costly. New Plum may need to hire additional legal, accounting and financial staff with appropriate public company experience and technical accounting knowledge and maintain an internal audit function.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum will develop and refine its disclosure controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by New Plum in the reports that it will file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that information required to be disclosed in reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive and financial officers. It is expected that New Plum will improve its internal controls over financial reporting, which includes hiring additional accounting and financial personnel to implement such processes and controls. It is expected that New Plum will incur costs related to implementing an internal audit and compliance function in the upcoming years to further improve its internal controls environment.

New Plum will incur increased costs as a result of being a public company.

As a privately held company, Veea has not been required to comply with certain corporate governance and financial reporting practices required of a publicly traded company. As a publicly traded company, New Plum will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that Veea was not required to incur in the past, particularly after it is no longer an “emerging growth company.” In addition, new and changing laws, regulations, and standards

62

Table of Contents

relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including changing regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq, have created uncertainty for public companies and have increased the costs and the time that the New Plum Board and management must devote to compliance. Furthermore, the need to establish the corporate infrastructure demanded of a public company may divert New Plum management’s attention from implementing its growth strategy, which could negatively affect New Plum’s business, results of operations, and financial condition.

The rules and regulations applicable to public companies are expected to make it more expensive for New Plum to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, which could adversely affect its ability to attract and retain qualified officers and directors.

The rules and regulations applicable to public companies are expected to make it more expensive for New Plum to obtain and maintain director and officer liability insurance, and New Plum may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain coverage. The amount or timing of additional costs that New Plum may incur to respond to these requirements cannot be estimated or predicted. The potential for increased personal liability could also make it more difficult for New Plum to attract and retain qualified members of the New Plum Board, particularly to serve on its audit committee and compensation committee, and qualified executive officers.

Plum’s shareholders who do not redeem their Public Shares will have a reduced ownership and voting interest after the Business Combination and will exercise less influence over management.

Upon the issuance of New Plum Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, the percentage ownership of Public Shareholders who do not redeem their Public Shares will be diluted. The percentage of New Plum Common Stock that will be owned by Public Shareholders as a group will vary based on the number of Public Shares for which the holders thereof request Redemption in connection with the Business Combination. To illustrate the potential ownership percentages of Public Shareholders under different Redemption levels, based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Plum Ordinary Shares and Veea common stock on , 2024, after giving effect to the Extension Redemptions, and based on the New Plum Common Stock expected to be issued in the Business Combination, non-redeeming Public Shareholders, as a group, will own:

• if there are no Redemptions of Public Shares, % of New Plum Common Stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination; or

• if there are maximum Redemptions of 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, % of New Plum Common Stock expected to be outstanding immediately after the Business Combination.

Because of this, Public Shareholders, as a group, will have less influence on the board of directors, management and policies of New Plum than they now have on the board of directors, management and policies of Plum.

The ownership percentage with respect to New Plum following the Business Combination does not take into account the following potential issuances of securities, which will result in further dilution to Public Shareholders who do not redeem their Public Shares:

• the issuance of up to 6,384,326 shares upon exercise of the Public Warrants at a price of $11.50 per share;

• the issuance of up to 6,256,218 shares upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor following the Business Combination at a price of $11.50 per share;

• the issuance of up to shares under the Incentive Equity Plan; and

• if the Sponsor, or Plum’s officers, directors or their affiliates make any working capital loans prior to the closing of the Business Combination, they may convert up to $1,500,000 of those loans into 1,500,000 warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant.

If all such shares were issued immediately after the Business Combination, based on the number of issued and outstanding shares of Plum Ordinary Shares and Veea common stock on , 2024, after giving effect to the Extension Redemptions, and based on the New Plum Common Stock expected to be issued in the Business Combination, non-redeeming Public Shareholders, assuming no Redemptions of Public Shares, as a group, would own % of New Plum Common Stock outstanding assuming all such shares were issued immediately after the Business Combination.

The unaudited Pro Forma financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what New Plum’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

Plum and Veea currently operate as separate companies and have had no prior history as a combined entity, and Plum’s and Veea’s operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. The Pro Forma financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have actually occurred had the Business Combination been completed at or as of the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of the future operating results or financial position of New Plum. The Pro Forma statement of operations does not reflect future nonrecurring charges resulting from the Business Combination. The unaudited Pro Forma financial information does not reflect future events that may occur after the Business Combination and does not consider potential impacts of future market conditions on revenues or expenses. The Pro Forma financial information included in the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” has been derived from Plum’s and Veea’s historical financial statements and certain adjustments and assumptions have been made regarding Veea after giving effect to the Business Combination. There may be differences between preliminary estimates in the Pro Forma financial information and the final acquisition accounting, which could result in material differences from the Pro Forma information presented in this proxy statement/prospectus in respect of the estimated financial position and results of operations of New Plum.

In addition, the assumptions used in preparing the Pro Forma financial information may not prove to be accurate and other factors may affect New Plum’s financial condition or results of operations following the Closing. Any potential decline in New Plum’s financial condition or results of operations may cause significant variations in New Plum’s stock price.

The ability of Plum’s Public Shareholders to exercise Redemption rights with respect to a large number of its Public Shares may not allow it to complete the Business Combination or optimize the capital structure of New Plum and may increase the probability that the Business Combination would be unsuccessful and that you will have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem your shares.

At the time of entering into the Business Combination Agreement, Plum did not know how many shareholders may exercise their Redemption rights, and therefore, Plum needed to structure the transaction based on its expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for Redemption. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the approval by the Plum shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) the completion of the offer to redeem the Class A ordinary shares of Plum; (iv) the New Plum Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (v) that Plum has at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Closing. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated. On March 15, 2023 and September 13, 2023, Plum held extraordinary general meetings of shareholders, at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend Plum’s Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination. In connection with the extraordinary general meetings of shareholders held on March 15, 2023 and September 13, 2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem an aggregate of 26,693,416 and 1,972,625 Public Shares, respectively. Following the Extension Redemptions, Plum had approximately $35.1 million left in its Trust Account. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, you would not receive your pro rata portion of the Trust Account until Plum liquidates the Trust Account. If you are in need of immediate liquidity, you could attempt to sell your shares in the open market; however, at such time its shares may trade at a discount to the pro rata amount per share in the Trust Account. In either situation, you may suffer a material loss on your investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with its Redemption until Plum liquidates or you are able to sell your shares in the open market. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Plum’s Initial Shareholders, Veea, Plum’s directors, executive officers, advisors and their respective affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of its Class A ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding Plum or its securities, its Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of its shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption rights. In the event that Plum’s Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates who have agreed to vote in favor of this transaction purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. It is intended that Rule 10b-18 would govern any such purchases by our Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates, to the extent Rule 10b-18 applies. Rule 10b-18 provides a safe harbor from liability for market manipulation for purchases made under conditions set out in the Rule, including with respect to timing, pricing and volume of purchases. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be (i) to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that each of the Business Combination Proposal, the Advisory Charter Proposals, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter (ii) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that each of the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (66 2/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (iii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem and (iv) increase the likelihood of the satisfaction of the requirement that Plum’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) are at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there have been no such discussions and no agreements to such effect that have been entered into with any such investor or holder. If such a transaction were to occur, it is contemplated that, in accordance with the SEC’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 166.01, such persons would agree, among other things, that: (i) the purchase price for the Public Shares will not exceed the redemption price; (ii) the persons described above will waive redemption rights, if any, with respect to the Public Shares they acquire in such transactions; and (iii) any such Public Shares acquired by the persons described above would not vote on the Business Combination Proposal. If such arrangements or agreements are entered into, Plum will file a Current Report on Form 8-K prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting to disclose any arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons. Any such report will include (i) the number of Plum Class A ordinary shares purchased and the purchase price; (ii) the purpose of such purchases; (iii) the impact of such purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination Proposal will be approved; (iv) the identities or characteristics of security holders who sold shares if not purchased in the open market or the nature of the sellers; and (v) the number of Plum Class A ordinary shares for which Plum has received redemption requests.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the per share price of the Public Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares such investor owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved.

65

Table of Contents

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of Plum’s Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of its securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of its securities on a national securities exchange.

If Plum’s Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates elect to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases may affect the market price of Plum’s securities.

Any purchases of Public Shares by Plum’s Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates in public or privately negotiated transactions as described above may increase the market price of Plum’s securities. Further, although none of Plum’s Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates currently anticipate paying a premium to the market price for such shares, in the event they do pay a premium, such amount will not be more than $ (the Redemption price available to Plum shareholders based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $ million as of ) and such payment may not be in the best interest of those holders who have not sold their shares in such transaction or who have not received such premium. There is no other limit on the number of shares that Plum’s Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates could acquire or the price such parties may pay. Any such securities purchased by Plum’s Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination and they will waive Redemption rights with respect to such securities.

If the market does not view the Business Combination positively, purchases of Public Shares may have the effect of counteracting the market’s view, which otherwise would have been reflected in a decline in the market price of Plum’s securities. In addition, once such purchases end, the termination of the price support they provide may materially adversely affect the market price of Plum’s securities.

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of Public Shares by Plum or the persons described above have been entered into with any Public Shareholder. If Plum becomes aware of any private arrangements entered into or significant private purchases made by any of the persons described above that would affect the vote on the Business Combination or other proposals, Plum will file a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose (i) the amount of such securities purchased; (ii) the purpose of the purchases; (iii) the impact, if any, of the purchases on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved; (iv) the identities of security holders who sold the securities (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of security holders who sold to Plum’s Initial Shareholders, officers, directors or their affiliates; and (v) the number of securities for which Plum has received Redemption requests pursuant to the vote to approve the Business Combination.

If third parties bring claims against Plum, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share Redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in its Initial Public Offering).

Plum’s placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against Plum. Although Plum has and will continue to seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than its independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which Plum does business execute agreements with Plum waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, 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 responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against its 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, its management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to Plum than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where Plum 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. 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

66

Table of Contents

negotiations, contracts or agreements with Plum and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. Upon Redemption of Plum’s Public Shares, if Plum is unable to complete its business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a Redemption right in connection with its business combination, Plum will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against it within the ten years following Redemption. Accordingly, the per share Redemption amount received by Public Shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to Plum if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to Plum, or a prospective target business with which Plum has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under its indemnity of the underwriters of its Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, even in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. Plum has not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and Plum has not asked Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, Plum cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of Plum’s officers will indemnify Plum for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if Plum is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against Plum which is not dismissed, or if Plum otherwise enters compulsory or court supervised liquidation, 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, Plum may not be able to return to its Public Shareholders $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in its Initial Public Offering).

Plum’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against it to the extent of distributions received by them upon Redemption of their Class A ordinary shares.

If Plum is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, Plum was unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by Plum’s shareholders. Furthermore, Plum’s directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Plum or its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and Plum to claims, by paying the Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Claims may be brought against Plum for these reasons.

Plum’s directors may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of the Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the public stockholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per 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 $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and Plum’s Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, its independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against its Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While Plum currently expects that its independent directors would take legal action on its behalf against its Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to Plum, it is possible that its independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance. If Plum’s independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to its Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per share.

67

Table of Contents

Plum may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of its directors and executive officers.

Plum has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, its officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account and to not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of Public Shares).

Accordingly, any indemnification provided will be able to be satisfied by Plum only if (i) Plum has sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) Plum consummates the Business Combination. Plum’s obligation to indemnify its officers and directors may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against its officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against its officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit Plum and its shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent Plum pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against its officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

In the event Plum distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders and subsequently files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and Plum and the Plum Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after Plum distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders, Plum files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum 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 court could seek to recover all amounts received by its shareholders. In addition, the Plum Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to its creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and Plum to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Plum cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against Plum for these reasons.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Plum’s Public Shareholders, Plum files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of its shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by its shareholders in connection with its liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to Plum’s Public Shareholders, Plum files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in Plum’s 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, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by Plum’s shareholders in connection with its liquidation may be reduced.

Plum’s shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against Plum to the extent of distributions received by them upon Redemption of their shares.

If Plum is forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, Plum was unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by its shareholders. Furthermore, Plum’s directors may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to Plum or its creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and its company to claims, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Claims may be brought against Plum for these reasons. Plum and its directors and officers who knowingly and willfully authorized or permitted any distribution to be paid out of the Trust Account while Plum was unable to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business would be guilty of an offence and may be liable to a fine of KYD$15,000 (which equates to approximately US$18,000) and to imprisonment for five years in the Cayman Islands.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum will be an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if New Plum takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “emerging growth companies” or “smaller reporting companies,” this could make its securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare its performance with other public companies.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum will be an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and New Plum 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 New Plum’s 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. As a result, New Plum’s shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. New Plum could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause it to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of the New Plum Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, in which case New Plum would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. New Plum cannot predict whether investors will find its securities less attractive because New Plum will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find New Plum’s securities less attractive as a result of its reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of its securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for its securities and the trading prices of its securities may be more volatile.

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 an election to opt out is irrevocable. New Plum is expected to 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, New Plum, 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 its 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.

Additionally, Plum is and New Plum will initially be a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. New Plum will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of the New Plum Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) its annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of the New Plum Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. To the extent New Plum takes advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of its financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for Plum to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a business combination.

The fact that Plum is a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on Plum as compared to other public companies. Veea is not a public reporting company required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and New Plum management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to New Plum after the Business Combination. If New Plum is not able to implement the requirements of Section 404, including any additional requirements once New Plum is no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate

69

Table of Contents

compliance, New Plum may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject New Plum to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of New Plum Common Stock. Additionally, once New Plum is no longer an emerging growth company, New Plum will be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on its internal controls over financial reporting.

A significant portion of New Plum’s total outstanding shares will be restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of New Plum Common Stock to drop significantly, even if New Plum’s business is doing well.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, sales of a substantial number of shares of New Plum Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Plum Common Stock.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, (i) Veea’s current shareholders will own, collectively, approximately % of the outstanding New Plum Common Stock and (ii) Plum’s Initial Shareholders will own approximately % of the outstanding New Plum Common Stock, in each case, assuming that none of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, or approximately % and %, respectively, assuming that all of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. These percentages assume that [(i) shares of New Plum Common Stock are issued to Veea’s current shareholders at Closing; and (ii) all New Plum Warrants to purchase New Plum Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately following Closing have not been exercised. If the actual facts are different than these assumptions, the ownership percentages in New Plum will be different.

Although the Sponsor and certain of Veea’s stockholders will be subject to certain restrictions regarding the transfer of New Plum Common Stock, these shares may be sold after the expiration or early termination of the respective applicable lock-ups under the Lock-Up Agreements. New Plum intends to file one or more registration statements shortly after the Closing of the Business Combination to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of New Plum Common Stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

New Plum’s directors, executive officers and principal stockholders will continue to have substantial control over New Plum after the consummation of the Business Combination, which could limit New Plum’s ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including a change of control.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum’s executive officers, directors and principal stockholders and their affiliates will own shares of New Plum Common Stock, or approximately % of the outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock, after giving effect to the Business Combination. As a result, these stockholders will be able to exercise a significant level of control over all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers, acquisitions or other extraordinary transactions. They may also have interests that differ from yours and may vote in a way with which you disagree and which may be adverse to New Plum’s interests. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change of control of New Plum, could deprive New Plum’s stockholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their common stock as part of a sale of New Plum and might ultimately affect the market price of New Plum Common Stock.

The Public Shareholders may experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Plum Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each Existing Veea Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Plum Common Stock equal to $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00. The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing

70

Table of Contents

Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination.”

In addition, Veea employees, directors and consultants hold, and after the Business Combination, may be granted, equity awards and/or purchase rights under the Incentive Equity Plan. You will experience additional dilution when those equity awards and purchase rights become vested and settled or exercisable, as applicable, for shares of New Plum Common Stock.

The issuance of additional New Plum Common Stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of existing holders of Plum securities, and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the New Plum Common Stock and/or the New Plum Warrants.

Warrants will become exercisable for New Plum Common Stock, which, if exercised, would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and result in dilution to its shareholders.

If the Business Combination is completed, outstanding Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 12,640,544 shares of New Plum Common Stock will become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement. These Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after Closing. The exercise price of these Warrants will be $11.50 per share. To the extent such Warrants are exercised, additional shares of New Plum Common Stock will be issued, which will result in dilution to the holders of New Plum Common Stock and increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market or the fact that such Warrants may be exercised could adversely affect the prevailing market prices of New Plum Common Stock. However, there is no guarantee that the Warrants will ever be in the money prior to their expiration, and as such, the Warrants may expire worthless. See “— Even if the Business Combination is consummated the terms of the Warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.”

Even if the Business Combination is consummated the terms of the Warrants may be amended in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment.

The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental, as warrant agent, and Plum. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision or correct any mistake, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders of Public Warrants. Accordingly, Plum may amend the terms of the Public Warrants in a manner adverse to a holder if holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public Warrants approve of such amendment and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of the Private Placement Warrants or any provision of the Warrant Agreement with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, 50% of the number of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants. Although Plum’s ability to amend the terms of the Public Warrants with the consent of at least 50% of the then-outstanding Public 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, shorten the exercise period or decrease the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant.

New Plum may redeem a Public Warrant holder’s unexpired Public Warrants prior to their exercise at a time that may be disadvantageous to such Public Warrant holder, thereby making its Public Warrants worthless.

New Plum will have the ability to redeem outstanding Public Warrants at any time after they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the last reported sales price of New Plum Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a Warrant) for any 20 trading-days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date New Plum sends the notice of Redemption to the Public Warrant holders. If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by New Plum, New Plum may exercise its Redemption right even if New Plum is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Public Warrants could force a Public Warrant holder to: (i) exercise its Public Warrants and pay the exercise price at a time when it may be

71

Table of Contents

disadvantageous for such Public Warrant holder to do so; (ii) sell its Public Warrants at the then-current market price when a warrant holder might otherwise wish to hold its Warrants; or (iii) accept the nominal Redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Public Warrants are called for Redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of a Public Warrant holder’s Public Warrants. None of the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by New Plum so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees.

The value received upon exercise of the Public Warrants (1) may be less than the value the holders would have received if they had exercised their Public Warrants at a later time where the underlying share price is higher and (2) may not compensate the holders for the value of the Public Warrants.

A Public Warrant holder may only be able to exercise its Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” under certain circumstances, and if a Public Warrant holder does so, such Public Warrant holder will receive fewer New Plum Common Stock from such exercise than if a Public Warrant holder were to exercise such Public Warrants for cash.

The Warrant Agreement provides that in the following circumstances holders of Warrants who seek to exercise their Public Warrants will not be permitted to do so for cash and will, instead, be required to do so on a cashless basis in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act: (i) if the New Plum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants are not registered under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms of the Warrant Agreement; (ii) if New Plum has so elected and the New Plum Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a Public Warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of “covered securities” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act; and (iii) if New Plum has so elected and it calls the Public Warrants for Redemption. If you exercise your Public Warrants on a cashless basis, you would pay the Warrant exercise price by surrendering all of the Public Warrants for that number of New Plum Common Stock equal to the less of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of New Plum Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the New Plum Common Stock (as defined in the next sentence) over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” is the average reported closing price of the New Plum Common Stock for the 10 trading-days ending on the third trading-day prior to the date on which the notice of Redemption is sent to the holders of the Public Warrants. As a result, you would receive fewer shares of New Plum Common Stock from such exercise than if you were to exercise such Public Warrants for cash.

Even if the Business Combination is consummated, there can be no assurance that the Public Warrants will be in the money at the time they become exercisable, and they may expire worthless.

The exercise price for the outstanding Public Warrants is $11.50 per share. There can be no assurance that such Public Warrants will be in the money following the time they become exercisable and prior to their expiration, and as such, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

The Warrant Agreement 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 its Warrants, which could limit the ability of warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Plum.

Warrant Agreement provides that, subject to applicable law, (i) any action, proceeding or claim against Plum arising out of or relating in any way to the 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 (ii) that Plum irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. Plum will waive 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 its Warrants shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in its Warrant Agreement. If any action, the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions of the Warrant Agreement, is filed in a court other than a court of the State of New York

72

Table of Contents

or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (a “Foreign Action”) in the name of any holder of Warrants, such holder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State 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.

This choice-of-forum provision may limit a Warrant holder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with Plum’s, 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, Plum 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 its management and board of directors.

Nasdaq may not list New Plum’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in New Plum’s securities and subject New Plum to additional trading restrictions.

An active trading market for New Plum’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of New Plum’s securities on Nasdaq, Plum will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s initial listing requirements. Plum will apply to have New Plum’s securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. Plum cannot assure you that New Plum will be able to meet all listing requirements. Even if New Plum’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, New Plum may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If New Plum fails to meet the listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Veea would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that Veea elects to waive this condition, and the Business Combination is consummated without New Plum’s securities being listed on Nasdaq or on another national securities exchange, New Plum could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

• a limited availability of market quotations for New Plum’s securities;

• reduced liquidity for New Plum’s securities;

• a determination that New Plum Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in New Plum Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New Plum’s securities;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If New Plum’s securities were not listed on Nasdaq, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and New Plum would be subject to regulation in each state in which New Plum offers its securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

An active, liquid trading market for New Plum’s securities may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell such securities.

Although Plum intends to apply to list the New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants on Nasdaq under the ticker symbols “ ” and “ W”, respectively, an active trading market for such securities may never develop or be sustained following the consummation of the Business Combination. The initial valuation of $10.00 per share may not be indicative of the market price of New Plum Common Stock that will prevail in the open market after the consummation of the Business Combination. A public trading market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither

73

Table of Contents

we nor any market maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect on the value of New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants. The market price of New Plum Common Stock may decline below $10.00 per share, and you may not be able to sell your New Plum Common Stock at or above $10.00 per share, or at all. An inactive market may also impair New Plum’s ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations.

Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from New Plum’s actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of its common shares.

Securities research analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for New Plum following consummation of the Business Combination. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results New Plum actually achieves. New Plum’s share price may decline if its actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on New Plum downgrades its stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about its business, New Plum’s share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of New Plum or fails to publish reports on New Plum regularly, New Plum’s share price or trading volume could decline. While Plum expects research analyst coverage following consummation of the Business Combination, if no analysts commence coverage of New Plum, the market price and volume for New Plum Common Stock could be adversely affected.

In addition, following the Business Combination, fluctuations in the price of New Plum’s securities could contribute to the loss of all or part of your investment. Prior to the Business Combination, there has not been a public market for the stock of Veea. Accordingly, the valuation ascribed to Veea in the Business Combination may not be indicative of the price that will prevail in the trading market following the Business Combination. The trading price of the New Plum securities following the Business Combination could be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond New Plum’s control. Any of the factors listed below could have a material adverse effect on New Plum’s securities and the New Plum securities may trade at prices significantly below the price you paid for them. In such circumstances, the trading price of the New Plum securities may not recover and may experience a further decline.

Factors affecting the trading price of New Plum’s securities may include:

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in our financial results or the financial results of companies perceived to be similar to New Plum;

• changes in the market’s expectations about New Plum’s operating results;

• success of New Plum’s competitors;

• operating results failing to meet the expectations of securities analysts or investors in a particular period;

• changes in financial estimates and recommendations by securities analysts concerning New Plum or the industry in which New Plum operates in general;

• operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors deem comparable to New Plum;

• changes in laws and regulations affecting New Plum’s business;

• commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Plum;

• changes in New Plum’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of debt;

• the volume of shares of New Plum Common Stock available for public sale;

• any major change in the New Plum Board or management;

• sales of substantial amounts of New Plum Common Stock by its directors, executive officers or significant stockholders or the perception that such sales could occur; and

• general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

74

Table of Contents

Broad market and industry factors may materially harm the market price of New Plum’s securities irrespective of its operating performance. The stock market in general has experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. As a result of this volatility, you may not be able to sell your securities at or above the price at which they were acquired. A loss of investor confidence in the market for the stocks of other companies which investors perceive to be similar to New Plum could depress its stock price regardless of New Plum’s business, prospects, financial conditions or results of operations. A decline in the market price of New Plum’s securities also could adversely affect its ability to issue additional securities and its ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

New Plum may fail to meet New Plum’s publicly announced guidance or other expectations about New Plum’s business, which would cause New Plum’s stock price to decline.

New Plum expects to provide guidance regarding New Plum’s expected financial and business performance, such as projections regarding sales and product development, as well as anticipated future revenues, gross margins, profitability and cash flows. Correctly identifying key factors affecting business conditions and predicting future events is inherently an uncertain process and New Plum’s guidance may not be accurate. If New Plum’s guidance is not accurate or varies from actual results due to New Plum’s inability to meet New Plum’s assumptions or the impact on New Plum’s financial performance that could occur as a result of various risks and uncertainties, the market value of New Plum Common Stock could decline significantly.

New Plum does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

Following the Business Combination, New Plum intends to retain its future earnings, if any, to finance the further development and expansion of its business and does not intend to pay cash dividends for the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of New Plum’s Board and will depend on its financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, restrictions contained in future agreements and financing instruments, business prospects and such other factors as its board of directors deems relevant.

Plum is subject to, and New Plum will be subject to, changing law and regulations regarding public company regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both Plum’s costs and the risk of non-compliance and will increase both New Plum’s costs and the risk of non-compliance.

Plum is, and New Plum will be, subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies applicable to public companies, including, for example, the SEC, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded, and to new and evolving regulatory measures under applicable law. Plum’s efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations have resulted in, and New Plum’s efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations likely will result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention.

Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to New Plum’s disclosure and governance practices. If New Plum fails to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, New Plum may be subject to penalty and its business may be harmed.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Plum will not be able to solicit, initiate or take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the making, submission or announcement of, or enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement will discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Plum will not be able to enter into a business combination with another party because of restrictions in the Business Combination Agreement. Furthermore, certain provisions of the Business Combination Agreement will discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior to the arrangements contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, in part because of the inability of the Plum Board to change its recommendation in connection with

75

Table of Contents

the Business Combination. The Business Combination Agreement does not permit the Plum Board to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify, or publicly propose to change, withdraw, withhold, qualify or modify its recommendation in favor of adoption of the proposals included herein.

Certain covenants in the Business Combination Agreement impede the ability of Plum to make acquisitions or complete certain other transactions pending completion of the Business Combination. As a result, Plum may be at a disadvantage to its competitors during that period. In addition, if the Business Combination is not completed, these provisions will make it more difficult to complete an alternative business combination following the termination of the Business Combination Agreement due to the passage of time during which these provisions have remained in effect.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere could make it more difficult for Plum to consummate the Business Combination.

Recent increases in inflation and interest rates in the United States and elsewhere may lead to increased price volatility for publicly traded securities, including Plum’s and, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum’s, and may lead to other national, regional and international economic disruptions, any of which could make it more difficult for Plum to consummate the Business Combination.

Military conflict in Ukraine, Israel or elsewhere may lead to increased volatility for publicly traded securities, which could make it more difficult for us to consummate an initial business combination.

Military conflict in Ukraine, Israel or elsewhere may lead to increased volatility for publicly traded securities, including Plum’s and, upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum’s, and to other national, regional and international economic disruptions and economic uncertainty, any of which could make it more difficult for us to identify a business combination target and consummate an initial business combination on acceptable commercial terms or at all.

New Plum’s business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or stockholder activism, which could cause New Plum to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact its stock price.

In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Shareholder activism, which could take many forms or arise in a variety of situations, has been increasing recently. Volatility in the stock price of the New Plum Common Stock or other reasons may in the future cause it to become the target of securities litigation or stockholder activism. Securities litigation and stockholder activism, including potential proxy contests, could result in substantial costs and divert management’s and the New Plum Board’s attention and resources from New Plum’s business. Additionally, such securities litigation and stockholder activism could give rise to perceived uncertainties as to New Plum’s future, adversely affect its relationships with suppliers, service providers and customers and make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified personnel. Also, New Plum may be required to incur significant legal fees and other expenses related to any securities litigation and activist stockholder matters.

Further, New Plum’s stock price could be subject to significant fluctuation or otherwise be adversely affected by the events, risks and uncertainties of any securities litigation and stockholder activism.

Plum has identified material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control, which may result in material misstatements of our consolidated financial statements and impair our ability to produce accurate financial statements or prevent fraud.

As described in Plum’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed on March 1, 2024, Plum identified a material weakness in its internal controls over financial reporting relating to the accounting for certain subscription liabilities in connection with Subscription Agreements entered into with certain investors (for further details regarding the Subscription Agreements, see “Certain Relationships And Related Person Transactions — Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Plum — Subscription Agreements”). The identified material weakness resulted in ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over Plum’s financial reporting. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could cause investors to lose confidence in New Plum’s reported financial and other information.

76

Table of Contents

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal controls over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of Plum’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. While Plum continually undertakes steps to improve Plum’s internal controls over financial reporting as Plum’s business changes, Plum may not be successful in making the improvements and changes necessary to be able to identify and remediate control deficiencies or material weaknesses on a timely basis. If Plum is unable to successfully remediate any current or future material weaknesses in Plum internal controls over financial reporting, the accuracy and timing of Plum’s financial reporting may be adversely affected; Plum’s liquidity, access to capital markets and perceptions of Plum’s creditworthiness may be adversely affected; Plum may be unable to maintain compliance with securities laws, stock exchange listing requirements and debt instruments covenants regarding the timely filing of periodic reports; Plum may be subject to regulatory investigations and penalties; investors may lose confidence in its financial reporting; Plum may suffer defaults under Plum’s debt instruments; and Plum’s stock price may decline.

Plum’s management has concluded that this material weakness in our internal controls over financial reporting is due to the fact that we did not have the necessary business processes and related internal controls formally designed and implemented, and has taken steps to establish and implement such internal controls.

Plum’s management will monitor the effectiveness of its remediation plans and will make changes management determines to be appropriate. If Plum identifies any new material weaknesses in the future, any such newly-identified material weakness could limit Plum’s ability to prevent or detect a misstatement of its accounts or disclosures that could result in a material misstatement of its annual or interim financial statements. In such case, Plum may be unable to maintain compliance with securities law requirements regarding timely filing of periodic reports in addition to applicable stock exchange listing requirements, and investors may lose confidence in Plum’s financial reporting and its stock price may decline as a result. Although Plum has taken steps to maintain its internal control structure as required, including steps to remediate its material weakness, Plum cannot guarantee that a control deficiency will not result in a misstatement in the future.

Risks Related to the Consummation of the Domestication

The Domestication may result in adverse tax consequences for Public Shareholders and holders of Public Warrants, including Public Shareholders exercising their redemption rights.

It is intended that the Domestication qualify as a an F Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(l)(F) of the Code. However, we have not sought, nor do we intend to seek, nor is the closing of the Domestication or the Merger conditioned on the receipt of, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the qualification of the Domestication as an F Reorganization. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each holders of Plum Securities are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Domestication to them. If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization, a U.S. Holder (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — U.S. Holders”) of Public Shares or Public Warrants generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Public Shares or Public Warrants in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Shares or Public Warrants surrendered. Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights with respect to public shares, U.S. Holders exercising such redemption rights, although not free from doubt, will likely be deemed to have exchanged their Public Shares for New Plum Common Stock and therefore subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication and also be subject to the tax consequences of the redemption. Additionally, Non-U.S. Holders (as defined in “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Non-U.S. Holders”) may become subject to withholding tax on any amounts treated as dividends paid on New Plum Common Stock after the Domestication.

Assuming that the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below, U.S. Holders generally will be subject to Section 367(b) of the Code. A U.S. Holder whose Public Shares, on the date of the Domestication, have a fair market value of less than $50,000 and who, on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares entitled to vote and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Plum Ordinary Shares generally will not recognize any gain or loss and will not be required to include any part of Plum’s earnings and profits in income as a result of the Domestication. A U.S. Holder whose Public Shares, on the date of the Domestication, have

77

Table of Contents

a fair market value of $50,000 or more and, who on the date of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) less than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of Public Shares and less than 10% of the total value of all classes of Plum Ordinary Shares, generally will recognize gain (but not loss) in respect of the Domestication as if such U.S. Holder exchanged its Public Shares for New Plum Common Stock in a taxable transaction, unless such U.S. Holder elects in accordance with applicable Treasury Regulations to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Plum the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the Public Shares held directly by such U.S. Holder. A U.S. Holder who, on the day of the Domestication, beneficially owns (actually or constructively) 10% or more of the total combined voting power of Public Shares or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Plum Ordinary Shares, generally will be required to include in income as a deemed dividend deemed paid by Plum the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations under Section 367 of the Code) attributable to the public shares held directly by such U.S. Holder as a result of the Domestication. Plum does not expect to have significant, if any, cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication and, therefore, the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to the Public Shares is expected to be $0.

Additionally, even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code (which have a retroactive effective date) generally require that, a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC (including for this purpose, under proposed Treasury Regulations that generally treat an “option” to acquire the stock of a PFIC as stock of the PFIC, exchanging Public Warrants for New Plum Warrants in the Domestication) 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. Based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, Plum may be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. Holder of Public Shares to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of Public Shares for New Plum Common Stock pursuant to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder has made certain tax elections with respect to such U.S. Holder’s Public Shares. In addition, the proposed Treasury Regulations provide coordinating rules with other sections of the Code, including Section 367(b), which affect the manner in which the rules under such other sections apply to transfers of PFIC stock. These proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would also apply to a U.S. Holder who exchanges Public Warrants for New Plum Warrants; currently, however, the elections mentioned above do not apply to public warrants (for discussion regarding the unclear application of the PFIC rules to warrants, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Holders — Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders — PFIC Considerations”). Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above 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 Plum. It is not possible to determine 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.

All holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences to them of the Domestication. For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the Domestication, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — U.S. Holders — Tax Effects of the Domestication to U.S. Holders” And “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences — Non-U.S. Holders — Tax Effects of the Domestication to Non-U.S. Holders.”

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Plum Common Stock arising under the DGCL as well as the Proposed Governing Documents will differ from and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of Public Shares arising under Cayman Islands Companies Law as well as the Existing Governing Documents.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights of holders of New Plum Common Stock will arise under the Proposed Governing Documents as well as the DGCL. Those new organizational documents and the DGCL contain provisions that differ in some respects from those in the Existing Governing Documents and Cayman Islands Companies Law and, therefore, some rights of holders of New Plum Common Stock could differ from the rights that holders of Public Shares currently possess. For instance, while class actions are generally not available to shareholders under Cayman Islands Companies Law, such actions are generally available under the DGCL. This change could increase the likelihood that New Plum becomes involved in costly litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on New Plum.

In addition, there are differences between the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum and the Existing Governing Documents of Plum. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of New Plum Common Stock and how they may differ from the rights of holders of Public Shares, please see “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” The forms of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws of New Plum are attached as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus, and Plum urges you to read them.

Delaware law and New Plum’s Proposed Governing Documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

The Proposed Governing Documents that will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, and the DGCL, contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the New Plum Board and therefore depress the trading price of New Plum Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the New Plum Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in New Plum’s management. Among other things, the Proposed Governing Documents include provisions regarding:

• providing for a classified board of directors with staggered, three-year terms;

• the ability of the New Plum Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;

• the New Plum Proposed Charter will prohibit cumulative voting in the election of directors, which limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates;

• the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, New Plum’s directors and officers;

• removal of the ability of New Plum stockholders to take action by written consent in lieu of a meeting;

• the requirement that a special meeting of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of the New Plum Board, the chairperson of the New Plum Board or the chief executive officer of New Plum, which could delay the ability of stockholders to force consideration of a proposal or to take action, including the removal of directors;

• controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of board of directors and stockholder meetings;

• the ability of the New Plum Board to amend the bylaws, which may allow the New Plum Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the bylaws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt; and

• advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the New Plum Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the New Plum Board, and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of New Plum.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the New Plum Board or management.

New Plum’s Proposed Charter will designate the Delaware Court of Chancery or the United States federal district courts as the sole and exclusive forum for substantially all disputes between New Plum and its stockholders, which could limit New Plum’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Plum or its directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents.

The Proposed Charter, which will be in effect upon consummation of the Business Combination, provides that, unless New Plum consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for state law claims for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Plum; (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee, agent or stockholder of New Plum against New Plum or against New Plum’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against New Plum, its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter or Proposed Bylaws, or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against New Plum, its current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or stockholders governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The foregoing provisions will not apply to any claims as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court, which is rested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than such court (including claims arising under the Exchange Act), or for which such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction, or to any claims arising under the Securities Act and, unless New Plum consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations thereunder. Accordingly, both state and federal courts have jurisdiction to entertain such Securities Act claims. To prevent having to litigate claims in multiple jurisdictions and the threat of inconsistent or contrary rulings by different courts, among other considerations, New Plum’s Proposed Charter will provide that, unless New Plum consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, United States District Court for the District of Delaware shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce the forum provision with respect to claims under the federal securities laws.

This choice of forum provision in the Proposed Charter may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Plum or any of New Plum’s directors, officers, or other employees, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. There is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provisions, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. It is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find the choice of forum provision contained in the Proposed Charter to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, New Plum may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could harm New Plum’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and rules and regulations thereunder.

The Proposed Charter provides for indemnification of officers and directors of New Plum at New Plum’s expense, which may result in a significant cost to New Plum and hurt the interests of its stockholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.

The Proposed Charter and applicable Delaware law provide for the indemnification of New Plum’s directors and officers, under certain circumstances, 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 in connection with New Plum, other than such liability (if any) that they may incur by reason of their own actual fraud, dishonesty, willful neglect or willful default. New Plum will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of the New Plum directors or officers, upon such person’s undertaking to repay any amounts paid, advanced, or reimbursed by New Plum if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by New Plum that we will be unable to recoup.

Risks Related to the Redemption

Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for Redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their Redemption rights prior to the deadline. If shareholders fail to comply with the Redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such public shareholder: (i) (a) holds Public Shares, or (b) if the Public Shareholder holds Public Shares through Units, the Public Shareholder elects to separate its Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising its Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; (ii) submits a written request to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in which it (a) requests that Plum redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash, and (b) identifies itself as a beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provides its legal name, phone number and address; and (iii) delivers its Public Shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC. Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to , Eastern Time, on , 2024 (two business days before the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed. In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, will need to act to facilitate this request. It is Plum’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent. However, because Plum does not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their Redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, Plum will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the remaining funds in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your Redemption rights.

If a Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of Plum’s offer to redeem 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 Plum’s compliance with the proxy rules, a Public Shareholder fails to receive Plum’s proxy materials, such Public Shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its Public Shares. In addition, this proxy statement/prospectus describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the Public Shares. In the event that a Public Shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section entitled “Extraordinary General Meeting of Plum — Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your Redemption rights.

Plum does not have a specified maximum Redemption threshold. The absence of such a Redemption threshold may make it possible for Plum to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial majority of Plum’s Public Shareholders having redeemed their shares.

The Existing Governing Documents do not provide a specified maximum Redemption threshold, except that Plum will not redeem Public Shares in an amount that would cause Plum’s net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act).

As a result, Plum may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of Public Shareholders have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of Public Shares by Plum or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. Plum will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting or the Redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

If you or a “group” of shareholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

A Public Shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares. In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder, Plum will require each Public Shareholder seeking to exercise Redemption rights to certify to Plum whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to Plum at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which Plum makes the above-referenced determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over Plum’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in Plum if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive Redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if Plum consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the Public Shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your shares in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. Plum cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the per share Redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders may challenge Plum’s determination as to whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, Plum’s shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on Redemption.

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

Plum can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in Plum’s share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder of Plum 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 the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, including the 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 proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s own financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

The securities in which Plum invests the funds held in the Trust Account could bear a negative rate of interest, which could reduce the value of the assets held in trust such that the per-share Redemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

The proceeds held in the Trust Account are 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, which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. While short-term U.S. government treasury obligations currently yield a positive rate of interest, they have briefly yielded negative interest rates in recent years. Central banks in Europe and Japan pursued interest rates below zero in recent years, and the Open Market Committee of the Federal Reserve has not ruled out the possibility that it may in the future adopt similar policies in the United States. In the event that Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination or make certain amendments to its Existing Governing Documents, its Public Shareholders are entitled to receive their pro-rata share of the proceeds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest income, net of income taxes paid or payable (less, in the case Plum is unable to complete the Business Combination, $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses). Negative interest rates could reduce the value of the assets held in the Trust Account such that the per share Redemption amount received by Public Shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share.

U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your Redemption rights depend on your particular facts and circumstances. In addition, because the Domestication will occur prior to the Redemption, if you exercise the Redemption rights, you will be subject to the potential tax consequences of the Domestication as well.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising your Redemption rights with respect to your Public Shares to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for the applicable shares deemed received upon the Domestication depend on your particular facts and circumstances. Additionally, because the Domestication will occur prior to the Redemption of any shareholder, U.S. Holders (as defined in “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption”) exercising Redemption rights, although not free from doubt, will likely be deemed to have exchanged their Public Shares for shares of New Plum Common Stock and therefore subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code as well as the U.S. federal income tax rules relating to PFICs. The tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules are discussed more fully below under “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Domestication and Redemption — U.S. Holders.”

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Domestication, the Plum Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The Plum Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Extraordinary General Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the Plum Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Extraordinary General Meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

Risks if the Domestication and the Business Combination are not Consummated

Plum cannot assure you that it will be able to complete the Business Combination or any other business combination prior to June 18, 2024, the date by which Plum is required to complete a business combination or be forced to liquidate.

Plum cannot assure you that it will be able to complete the Business Combination or any other business combination prior to June 18, 2024, the date by which Plum is required to complete a business combination or be forced to liquidate. Plum’s ability to consummate any business combination is dependent on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond its control. Even if Plum’s initial business combination is approved by its shareholders, it is possible that Redemptions will leave Plum with insufficient cash to consummate its initial business combination on commercially acceptable terms, or at all. Other than in connection with a Redemption offer or liquidation, Plum’s shareholders may be unable to recover their investment, except through sales of its securities on the open market. The price of Plum’s securities may be volatile, and there can be no assurance that shareholders will be able to dispose of Plum’s securities at favorable prices, or at all.

If Plum is not able to complete the Business Combination with Veea nor able to complete another business combination by June 18, 2024, in each case, Plum would cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up and Plum would redeem its Public Shares and liquidate the Trust Account, in which case Plum’s Public Shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and Plum’s Warrants will expire worthless.

If Plum is not able to complete the Business Combination with Veea nor able to complete another business combination by June 18, 2024, in each case, Plum 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 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which Redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Redemption, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve,

Table of Contents

subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to its obligations under Cayman Islands Companies Law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to other requirements of applicable law. In such case, Plum’s Public Shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share and its Warrants will expire worthless.

You will not have any rights or interests in funds from the Trust Account, except under certain limited circumstances. To liquidate your investment, therefore, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Public Warrants, potentially at a loss.

Plum’s Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only upon the earlier to occur of: (i) the completion of an initial business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination), and then only in connection with those Public Shares that such shareholder properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein; (ii) the Redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing Governing Documents (A) to modify the substance or timing of its obligation to provide holders of its Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a business combination or to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if Plum does not complete its initial business combination by June 18, 2024 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of its Public Shares; and (iii) the Redemption of its Public Shares if Plum has not consummated an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, subject to applicable law and as further described herein. Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence will not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial business combination or liquidation if Plum has not consummated an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, with respect to such Public Shares so redeemed. In no other circumstances will a shareholder have any right or interest of any kind to or in the Trust Account. Holders of Warrants will not have any right to the proceeds held in the Trust Account with respect to the Warrants. Accordingly, to liquidate your investment, you may be forced to sell your Public Shares or Warrants, potentially at a loss.

If Plum does not consummate the Business Combination or any other business combination by June 18, 2024, Plum’s Public Shareholders may be forced to wait until after such date before Redemption proceeds from the Trust Account may become available to Plum’s Public Shareholders.

If Plum is unable to consummate the Business Combination or any other business combination by June 18, 2024, Plum will distribute 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 Plum to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of the net interest earned thereon to pay dissolution expenses), pro rata to Public Shareholders by way of Redemption and cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up Plum’s affairs, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Any Redemption of Public Shares shall be affected automatically by function of the Existing Governing Documents prior to any voluntary winding up. If Plum is required to wind-up, liquidate the Trust Account and distribute such amount therein, pro rata, to its Public Shareholders, as part of any liquidation process, such winding up, liquidation and distribution must comply with Cayman Islands Companies Law. In that case, investors may be forced to wait beyond June 18, 2024 before the Redemption proceeds of the Trust Account become available to them, and they receive the return of their pro rata portion of the proceeds from the Trust Account. Plum has no obligation to return funds to investors prior to the date of its Redemption or liquidation unless, prior thereto, Plum consummates its initial business combination or amends certain provisions of its Existing Governing Documents, and only then in cases where investors have sought to redeem their Public Shares. Only upon Plum’s Redemption or any liquidation will Public Shareholders be entitled to distributions if Plum does not complete its initial business combination and does not amend its Existing Governing Documents. Plum’s Existing Governing Documents provide that, if Plum winds up for any other reason prior to the consummation of its initial business combination, Plum will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands Companies Law.

If the cash held outside the Trust Account is insufficient to allow Plum to operate through June 18, 2024, and Plum is unable to obtain additional capital, Plum may be unable to complete its initial business combination (including the Business Combination), in which case Plum’s Public Shareholders may only receive $10.00 per share, and Plum’s Warrants will expire worthless.

As of December 31, 2023, Plum had cash of approximately $0.1 million held outside the Trust Account, which is available for use by Plum to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business and negotiating a business combination and other general corporate uses. In addition, as of December 31, 2023, Plum had total

current liabilities of approximately $7.74 million. The funds available to Plum outside of the Trust Account may not be sufficient to allow Plum to operate until June 18, 2024, assuming that its initial business combination is not completed during that time.

If Plum is required to seek additional capital, Plum would need to borrow funds from Sponsor, members of Plum’s management team or other third parties to operate or may be forced to liquidate. Any such advances would be repaid only from funds held outside the Trust Account or from funds released to Plum upon completion of its initial business combination. If Plum is unable to obtain additional financing, Plum may be unable to complete its initial business combination. If Plum is unable to complete its initial business combination because Plum does not have sufficient funds available to it, Plum will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. Consequently, Plum’s Public Shareholders may only receive approximately $10.00 per share on its Redemption of the Public Shares and the Public Warrants will expire worthless.

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

Because Plum is currently incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. Federal courts may be limited prior to the Domestication. Plum is currently an exempted company 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 Plum’s directors or officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the United States courts against Plum’s directors or officers.

Until the Domestication is effected, Plum’s corporate affairs are governed by the Existing Governing Documents, the Cayman Islands Companies Act and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders to take action against the directors, actions by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors to Plum under the laws of the Cayman Islands 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 Plum’s shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of its directors under Cayman Islands Companies Law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the United States. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the United States, and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the United States.

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against Plum judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against Plum predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is no statutory enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands (awards of punitive or multiple damages may well be held to be contrary to public policy). A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

The Public Shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by management, members of the Plum Board or controlling shareholders than they would as Public Shareholders of a U.S. company.

Recommendation of the Plum Board

The Plum Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting are in the best interest of Plum and its shareholders and unanimously recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal, “FOR” the Election of Directors Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are two ways to vote your Ordinary Shares at the Extraordinary General Meeting:

• You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. 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 as recommended by the Plum Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the Domestication Proposal, “FOR” the Charter Proposal, “FOR” each of the separate Advisory Charter Proposals, “FOR” the Nasdaq Proposal, “FOR” the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, “FOR” the ESPP Proposal, “FOR” the Election of Directors Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the Extraordinary General Meeting.

If you do not have your control number, contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company no later than at least 72 hours in advance of the meeting at the phone number or e-mail address below. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way Plum can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares. Once you have your legal proxy, contact to have a control number generated. contact information is as follows: .

Redemption Rights

In connection with the proposed Business Combination, pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that Plum redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i) (a) hold Public Shares or (b) if you hold Public Shares through Units, you elect to separate your Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising your Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares;

(ii) submit a written request to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in which you (a) request that Plum redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (b) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (iii) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC; and

(iii) deliver your certificates for Public Shares (if any) along with the Redemption forms to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to , Eastern Time, on , 2024 (two business days before the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

Holders of Units must elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants prior to exercising Redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares. Public holders that hold their Units in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, must notify their broker or bank that they elect to separate the Units into the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants, or if a holder holds Units registered in its own name, the holder must contact Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, directly and instruct them to do so. The Redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal and regardless of whether they hold Public Shares on the Record Date. If the Business Combination is not consummated, the Public Shares will be returned to the respective holder, broker or bank. If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, Plum will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account, calculated as of two (2) business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on approximately $ million of funds in the Trust Account and shares subject to possible Redemption, in each case, as of , 2024, this would have amounted to approximately $10. per issued and outstanding Public Share. If a Public Shareholder exercises its Redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own Public Shares. The Redemption takes place following the Domestication and accordingly it is shares of New Plum Common Stock that will be redeemed immediately after consummation of the Business Combination.

If you hold the shares in “street name,” you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Shares of New Plum Common Stock that have not been tendered (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through DTC’s DWAC system. Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, will typically charge the tendering broker $80, and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the proposed business combination is not consummated this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Table of Contents

Any request for Redemption, once made by a holder of Public Shares, may be withdrawn at any time up to the time the vote is taken with respect to the Business Combination Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting, or thereafter with Plum’s consent until the Closing. If you deliver your shares for Redemption to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, and later decide prior to the Extraordinary General Meeting not to elect Redemption, you may request that Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, return the shares (physically or electronically) to you. You may make such request by contacting Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, at the phone number or address listed at the end of this section.

Any corrected or changed written exercise of Redemption rights must be received by Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the Extraordinary General Meeting. No request for Redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, at least two (2) business days prior to the scheduled vote at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such Public Shareholder or any other person with whom such Public Shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The Sponsor has, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, agreed to, among other things, vote all of its founder shares and its Public Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting and waive its Redemption rights with respect to such Ordinary Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor (whose members include certain of Plum’s directors and officers) owns approximately 71% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Holders of the Warrants will not have Redemption rights with respect to the Warrants.

Prior to exercising Redemption rights, Public Shareholders should verify the market price of the Public Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their Public Shares in the public market than from exercising their Redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the Redemption price. Plum cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public 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 its securities when its shareholders wish to sell their shares.

Appraisal Rights

Neither Plum Shareholders nor Plum Warrant holders have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination or the Domestication under the Cayman Islands Companies Law or under the DGCL.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

Plum is soliciting proxies on behalf of its board of directors. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. Plum and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Plum will bear the cost of the solicitation.

Plum has hired Advantage Proxy, Inc. to assist in the proxy solicitation process. Plum will pay that firm a fee of $ , plus disbursements, and will reimburse Advantage Proxy, Inc. for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Advantage Proxy, Inc. and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. Such fee will be paid with non-Trust Account funds.

Plum 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. Plum will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

Plum Initial Shareholders’ Agreements

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,236,002 Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding, which includes 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 12,640,544 Warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares, comprised of 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and 6,384,326 Public Warrants.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, the Sponsor, our other Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the Condition Precedent Proposals, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares or vote their Public Shares in favor of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its Redemption rights. In the event that the Sponsor, our other Initial Shareholders, Veea and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates who have agreed to vote in favor of this transaction purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their Redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, each Advisory Charter Proposal, the Nasdaq Proposal, the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal, the ESPP Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (ii) the Domestication Proposal and the Charter Proposal are approved by the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (662/3%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter, (iii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem their Public Shares and (iv) Plum’s net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a51-1(g)(1) of the Exchange Act) being at least $5,000,001 after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the Extraordinary General Meeting or the Redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Overview

We are asking our shareholders to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement, certain related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Plum shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the transactions contemplated thereby. Please see “— The Business Combination Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because we are holding a shareholder vote on the Business Combination, we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The Business Combination Agreement

This subsection of the proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement, but it does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. 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 proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, following the de-registration of Plum as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and the continuation and domestication of Plum as a corporation in the State of Delaware, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea as the Surviving Corporation in the Merger, and, as a result of the Merger, Veea will become a wholly owned subsidiary of New Plum.

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 disclosure schedules (the “Disclosure Schedules”), which are not filed publicly, which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to stockholders, and which were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the Disclosure Schedules 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 proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries thereof in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Veea, Plum, Merger Sub or any other matter.

In connection with the Business Combination, certain related agreements have been, or will be entered into on or prior to Closing, including the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Lock-Up Agreements, the Company Support Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement. See “— Related Agreements” below for more information.

Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination

Subject to, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and certain related agreements, at Closing, each share of common stock of Veea issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be converted into the right to receive a number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.

Table of Contents

The Business Combination Agreement also provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period; and

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period.

If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.

The Business Combination Agreement contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

Effect of the Domestication and Merger on Existing Plum Equity in the Business Combination

Assuming Plum shareholder approval of the proposals described in this proxy statement/prospectus, the Domestication and Merger will occur, which will result in, among other things, the following, each of which will occur prior to or concurrently with the Closing:

• each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of Plum will convert automatically by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of New Plum Common Stock concurrently with the effective time of the Domestication;

• each issued and outstanding Warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Plum will automatically represent the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of New Plum Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement;

• the Existing Governing Documents of Plum will be amended and restated and become the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum as described in this proxy statement/prospectus;

• the Proposed Governing Documents will be appropriately adjusted to give effect to any amendment contemplated by the Proposed Governing Documents that are not adopted and approved by the Plum shareholders, other the amendments contemplated by the Charter Amendment Proposal, which is a condition to the Closing of the Business Combination; and

• in connection with the first two bullets above, each issued and outstanding Unit of Plum that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary shares of Plum and underlying Plum Warrants upon the request of the holder thereof prior to the Domestication will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Plum Common Stock and one-fifth of one New Plum Warrant, with a whole New Plum Warrant representing the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement.

Governing Law

The Business Combination Agreement, the transaction documents, and the consummation of the transactions, and any claims, action, suit, dispute, or controversy arising from the Business Combination Agreement, the transaction documents, and the consummation of the transactions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law principle, provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (except that the Cayman Islands Act (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement) also applies to the Domestication and certain stockholder approvals in connection therewith).

Amendments

The Business Combination Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written agreement executed and delivered by (a) Plum and Veea prior to the Closing and (b) Plum after the Closing; provided, however, that none of the provisions that survive the Closing will be amended or modified without the prior written consent of the Sponsor.

Ownership of New Plum

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 11,236,002 Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. In addition, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there is outstanding an aggregate of 12,640,544 Warrants to acquire Ordinary Shares, comprised of 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants held by the Sponsor and 6,384,326 Public Warrants in Plum. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share and, following the Domestication, will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock. Therefore, as of

108

Table of Contents

the date of this proxy statement/prospectus (without giving effect to the Business Combination and assuming that none of Plum’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination), Plum’s fully diluted share capital would be 23,876,546 Ordinary Shares.

The following table illustrates varying ownership levels in New Plum Common Stock immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination based on the varying levels of Redemptions by the Public Shareholders, including the dilutive effect of outstanding Warrants, and the following additional assumptions: (i) no Public Shares are redeemed in the no additional Redemptions scenario and all 3,255,593 Public Shares are redeemed in the maximum Redemption scenario; and (ii) all Plum Warrants to purchase New Plum Common Stock that will be outstanding immediately following Closing have been exercised for cash. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more details. If the actual facts differ from these assumptions, the ownership percentages in Plum will be different and totals may not add up to 100% due to rounding.

____________

(1) Represents (i) the exchange of outstanding Veea Capital Stock into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination, and (ii) the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $1.83 million in related interest.

(2) Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

(3) In the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario, assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. In the “Maximum Redemptions” scenario, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

(4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events.

(5) Reflects the receipt of approximately $18.2 million in cash and approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities in which Veea issued shares of Series A-2 preferred stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has raised approximately $18.2 million in cash and settled approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration from the sale of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (including the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations); as such for Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

Background of the Business Combination

Plum is a blank check company incorporated on January 13, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. The Business Combination with Veea is a result of an active search for a potential initial business combination by Plum’s board of directors and management team. The terms of the Business Combination are the result of extensive negotiations between representatives of Plum and Veea. The following is a description of the background of these negotiations and the resulting terms of the Business Combination.

Prior to the consummation of Plum’s Initial Public Offering on March 17, 2021, neither Plum, nor anyone on its behalf, engaged in any substantive discussions, directly or indirectly, with any potential business combination target with respect to an initial business combination with Plum.

In January 2021, the Sponsor purchased 8,625,000 founder shares for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, 644,591 of which were forfeited on May 2, 2021.

On March 17, 2021, Plum consummated its Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to Plum of $300,000,000 (before underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses), and on April 14, 2021, Plum issued an additional 1,921,634 Units at $10.00 per Unit upon the partial exercise by the underwriter of its over-allotment option, generating additional gross proceeds to Plum of $19,216,340 (before underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses). Simultaneously with the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, Plum issued an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor, and simultaneously with the closing of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, Plum issued an additional 256,218 Private Placement Warrants to the Sponsor. Each Private Placement Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Plum Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share.

Also, in connection with the consummation of its Initial Public Offering, Plum entered into a Registration Rights and Stockholder Agreement with the Sponsor, and Plum’s officers and directors with respect to the Private Placement Warrants, the warrants issuable upon conversion of working capital loans (if any) and the Plum Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the foregoing and upon conversion of the founder shares. The Registration Rights and Stockholder Agreement provides for, among other things, customary demand and piggy-back registration rights.

After completion of the Plum Initial Public Offering on March 17, 2021, Plum’s officers, directors, and advisors commenced an active, thorough, search for prospective businesses or assets to acquire in Plum’s initial business combination, drawing upon, among other things, the extensive network and investing and operating experience of Plum’s management, board, and advisors. Consistent with its investment principles, Plum sought business combination targets with one or more of the following core attributes: a large addressable market, an experienced and visionary management team, robust growth, a strong business model, strong structural advantages, and a visible market opportunity. Representatives of Plum were contacted by, and representatives of Plum contacted, numerous individuals, financial advisors, business owners and other entities who offered to present ideas for business combination opportunities. Plum’s officers and directors and their affiliates actively searched for and brought business combination targets to Plum’s attention across several business sectors, including, without limitation, software, digital mining, fintech, healthcare, e-commerce, ride sharing, semi-conductors, additive manufacturing, tech-enabled services, and automotive technologies. These entities were primarily based in the United States, although certain potential targets were based internationally. As part of its process, Plum compiled and maintained a list of potential targets, prioritized, updated and supplemented such list from time to time as it was introduced to additional targets and as it acquired additional data through discussions with representatives and/or management of such targets or through its preliminary due diligence reviews of such targets.

From March 2021 through October 2023, Plum and its representatives:

• participated in in-person, telephonic or video conference discussions with representatives of more than 80 potential acquisition targets; and

• signed more than 40 non-disclosure agreements and provided initial non-binding indications of interest (orally and in writing) to representatives of 10 potential acquisition targets (other than Veea), as further described below.

Plum evaluated potential acquisition targets based on criteria that were the same or similar to the criteria the Plum Board used in evaluating the Business Combination with Veea (as discussed below) which included, among other criteria, such potential acquisition targets’ public company readiness and Plum management’s assessment regarding their potential to become a long-term leader among public companies in their industries, including, but not limited to, their growth prospects, competitive position, financials, leadership and management teams’ capabilities, valuation expectations and certainty of deal execution.

The Plum Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination

The Plum Board, in evaluating the Business Combination, consulted with Plum’s management and legal and financial advisors. The Plum Board reviewed the results of Plum management’s due diligence investigation, and the due diligence investigations of Plum’s third-party financial and legal advisors, and discussed the due diligence findings with Plum’s third-party financial and legal advisors. The Plum Board also received and reviewed presentations from, and discussed with, Plum’s third-party financial and legal advisors regarding the transaction structure, material terms of the Business Combination and various aspects of the due diligence. In reaching its unanimous decision to (i) determine that the Business Combination is in the best interests of Plum and its stockholders, (ii) approve and declare advisable the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the issuance of Plum Ordinary Shares in connection therewith, and (iii) recommend that the Plum shareholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination and the issuance of Plum Ordinary Shares, the Plum Board considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the Plum Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The Plum Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of Plum’s reasons for approval of 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 “Forward-Looking Statements.”

In the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering, Plum identified the following general criteria and guidelines that Plum believed would be important in evaluating prospective target businesses:

• Large Addressable Market: Plum would seek to invest in companies that offer room for compelling, long-term growth in their key markets. Large addressable markets have been a hallmark of Plum’s management previous successful investments. Plum believe green field or rapidly growing markets often create the largest absolute returns.

• Experienced and Visionary Management Team: Seasoned and visionary management teams are necessary for success in Plum’s model. Plum intended to acquire a company with forward-thinking leaders with a demonstrated history of success, and whose interests and vision are aligned with those of our team and shareholders.

• Robust Growth: While many things must fall in place for an investment to succeed, Plum believed that growth is the primary driver of returns. Plum believed that revenue growth, not cost cutting, leverage, or other strategies, is the most important driver of long-term value.

• Strong Business Model: Plum believes business models that enable reinvestment win in the long-haul. As such, the most investable companies must show, through compelling unit economics and business model, both the ability to deliver impressive cash flows and productively reinvest over the long term.

• Competitive Moat: Real, sustainable accumulating advantages enable companies to compound value. Plum favors businesses with strong structural advantages, including various forms of network effects, aggregator dynamics, and brand.

• Visible Market Opportunity: Plum sought to invest in businesses with recurring or re-occurring business models that provide good revenue visibility and ample data, allowing Plum to clearly understand growth drivers. Plum intended to invest in those businesses where future revenue cannot be confounded by significant market, technology, or regulatory risks.

Before reaching its decision, the Plum Board reviewed the material aspects of Plum management’s due diligence, which included:

• research on the industry/technology trends, historical and projected growth trends, competitive landscape and other industry factors;

• extensive meetings and calls with Veea’s management team and representatives regarding operations, business model, growth potential, competitive positioning, and historical and projected financials, among other topics;

In approving the Business Combination, the Plum Board received a fairness opinion from Houlihan Capital, LLC (“Houlihan Capital”). The officers and directors of Plum have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries. The Plum officers and directors used their collective experience, the opinion of Houlihan Capital, and the advice of Plum’s financial advisors when determining the merits of the transaction.

The Plum Board considered a few factors pertaining to the Business Combination as generally supporting its decision to enter into the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

• Benefits from Public Market Entry and Plum Expertise. The Plum Board considered the fact that, given the expected capital raise from private and public investments as part of the Business Combination, among other things, the cash that post-combination Veea is expected to have will allow it to be well-positioned to scale and fund its business plan. Additionally, the Plum Board considered the benefits to Veea from the expertise and public company experience of the Plum Board and management.

• Stockholder Liquidity. The Plum Board considered the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the Plum Ordinary Shares issued as merger consideration will be listed on the Nasdaq, a major U.S. stock exchange, which the Plum Board believes has the potential to offer stockholders enhanced liquidity.

• Other Alternatives. The Plum Board has determined that, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to Plum, the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for Plum and the most attractive opportunity for Plum based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets. The Plum Board has also determined that such process has not presented a better alternative.

• Negotiated Transaction. The Plum Board has determined that the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement are reasonable and were the product of arm’s-length negotiations between Plum and Veea.

The Plum Board also considered various uncertainties and risks and other potentially negative factors concerning the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following:

• Exclusivity. The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits Plum from soliciting other business combination proposals, which restricts Plum’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations.

Macroeconomic uncertainty, including the impacts of rising interest rates and inflation, regulatory policy, supply chain issues and the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects any of the foregoing could have on Veea’s revenues and the trading price of New Plum Common Stock.

• Redemption Risk. The risk that a significant number of Plum’s Public Shareholders may redeem their Public Shares for cash prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, thereby reducing the amount of cash available to Veea following the consummation of the Business Combination and making the Business Combination more difficult to complete. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon satisfaction of the Net Closing Cash Condition, which is for the sole benefit of Veea.

• Evolving Regulatory Regime Governing Special Purpose Acquisition Companies. The risk that regulation of special purpose acquisition companies continues to evolve and the SEC, Nasdaq and other regulators may revisit and update their laws, regulations and policies.

• Stockholder Vote. The risk that Plum’s stockholders may object to the Business Combination and take action that may prevent or delay the consummation of the Business Combination, including failing to provide the requisite votes necessary to effect the Business Combination.

• Closing Conditions. The fact that the completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain closing conditions that are not within Plum’s control, including the Minimum Cash Condition (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement).

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

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

• Liquidation of Plum. The risks and costs to Plum if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting Plum management’s focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in Plum being unable to effect a business combination before June 18, 2024, and force Plum to liquidate.

• Growth Initiatives May Not be Achieved. The risk that Veea’s growth initiatives may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

• Plum Shareholders Receiving a Minority Position. The fact that Plum shareholders will own a minority of the voting and economic rights of New Plum following the consummation of the Business Combination.

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

• Other Risk Factors. Various other risk factors associated with the business of Veea and the Business Combination as described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The Plum Board concluded that Veea met Plum’s investment criteria and that the potential benefits that it expects Plum and its stockholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweigh the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the Plum Board unanimously determined that the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement are advisable and in the best interests of Plum and its stockholders.

In rendering its Opinion, Houlihan Capital assumed that the final executed form of the Business Combination Agreement would not differ in any material respect from the applicable drafts that it reviewed, that the Business Combination would be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement without any waiver or modification that could be material to Houlihan Capital’s analysis, and that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would comply with all the material terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Houlihan Capital assumed, with Plum’s consent, that all governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the completion of the Business Combination would be obtained except to the extent that could not be material to its analysis. Houlihan Capital also was not requested to, and did not, participate in the structuring or negotiation of the Business Combination. Except as described in this summary, the Plum Board imposed no other instructions or limitations on Houlihan Capital with respect to the investigations made or procedures followed by Houlihan Capital in rendering its opinion.

In connection with the preparation of the Opinion, Houlihan Capital made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Business Combination. Houlihan Capital’s Opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of the Opinion. Houlihan Capital is under no obligation to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw the Opinion, or otherwise comment on or consider events occurring after the date of the Opinion.

The following is a summary of the material financial and comparative analyses presented by Houlihan Capital to the Plum Board at its meeting held on November 20, 2023, in connection with its Opinion. Some of the summaries of financial analyses below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand Houlihan Capital’s analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary. The summary of Houlihan Capital’s financial analyses described below is not a complete description of the analyses underlying its Opinion. The preparation of a financial opinion is a complex analytical process involving various determinations as to the most appropriate and relevant methods of financial analyses and the application of those methods to the particular circumstances and, therefore, is not readily susceptible to summary description.

Several analytical methodologies were employed by Houlihan Capital in its Opinion, and no one method of analysis should be regarded as critical to the overall conclusion reached. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. In arriving at the Opinion, Houlihan Capital did not attribute any particular weight to any single analysis or factor, but instead, made certain qualitative and subjective judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by Houlihan Capital and in the context of the circumstances of the Business Combination. Accordingly, Houlihan Capital believes that its analyses

must be considered as a whole, because considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors in their entirety, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying, and used by Houlihan Capital as support for, the conclusion set forth in the Opinion.

The conclusions Houlihan Capital has reached are based on all the analyses and factors presented in the Opinion taken as a whole and also on application of its own experience and judgment. Such conclusions may involve significant elements of subjective judgment or qualitative analysis. Houlihan Capital therefore gives no opinion as to the value or merit standing alone of any one or more parts of the material that follows.

Valuation Overview

In assessing whether the consideration to be issued, paid or exchanged to Plum Shareholders in the Business Combination is fair from a financial point of view to Plum Shareholders and the Business Combination is fair from a financial point of view to Plum Shareholders that are unaffiliated with Plum’s Sponsor, Houlihan Capital compared the price per share at which the unaffiliated shareholders may redeem their shares against the fair market value per share Pro Forma for the Business Combination calculated by Houlihan Capital. If the fair market value per share Pro Forma for the Business Combination exceeds the Redemption value ($10.92 per share), then the consideration to be paid by Plum in the Business Combination is fair to Plum and the Plum shareholders from a financial point of view.

Houlihan Capital concluded that the consideration to be issued, paid or exchanged to Plum shareholders in the Business Combination is fair from a financial point of view to Plum shareholders that are unaffiliated with the Plum’s Sponsor.

Veea’s Financial Projections and Analytical Methodologies

Veea management provided to Plum which provided to Houlihan Capital certain pipeline information, which consisted of potential sales of Veea’s products to third parties contained in the pipeline for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024. From this information, projected revenue as well as normalized gross margins for Veea were calculated.

There are three primary approaches that have traditionally been used to estimate fair market value: the adjusted book value approach, the market approach (which includes the guideline public company method and the comparable transactions method), and the income approach, each as briefly described below.

Adjusted Book Value Approach. The adjusted book value approach estimates fair value based on the principle of substitution, assuming that a prudent investor would pay no more for an asset than the amount for which the asset or property could be reproduced or replaced, less depreciation from physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence, if present and measurable. This approach is typically considered appropriate for capital-intensive businesses, real estate holding companies, or other types of holding companies where the value of the entity is derived primarily from the underlying assets held by the entity and not from additional value added from labor or profitable use of the assets owned. This valuation approach may also be used to value companies that are in bankruptcy or liquidation, or those that are otherwise not considered a going concern. Because Veea operates as a going concern business and is not asset intensive, Houlihan Capital did not utilize the adjusted book value approach in support of the Opinion.

Market Approach. The market approach references actual transactions of the asset to be valued, similar assets, or assets that can otherwise be used to infer the value of the subject asset. The application of methods within the market approach often requires identifying companies comparable to a subject company, observing transaction prices of those companies’ securities, deriving valuation multiples based on the ratio of such transaction prices to financial metrics (e.g., EBITDA, Tangible Book Value, Book Value), and then applying selected valuation multiples to the subject company’s same financial metrics. Houlihan Capital was able to identify a sufficiently robust set of guideline public companies similar to Veea. Therefore, Houlihan Capital utilized the Guideline Public Company Method of the Market Approach to support the Opinion.

The Comparable Transactions Method is another commonly used method under the Market Approach. This valuation method involves determining valuation multiples from sales of companies with financial and operating characteristics considered reasonably similar to those of the company being valued and applying representative multiples to the financial metrics of the subject company to estimate value, similar to the Guideline Public Company Method. Houlihan Capital was unable to identify a sufficiently robust set of transactions involving target companies considered reasonably similar to Veea for which publicly disclosed data to calculate and adjust valuation multiples was available. Therefore, Houlihan Capital did not utilize the Comparable Transactions Method of the Market Approach in support of the Opinion.

127

Table of Contents

The Income Approach. The income approach is a calculation of the present value of the future monetary benefits expected to flow to the owner of the subject asset. A commonly applied methodology under the Income Approach is the Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) Method. Using a DCF analysis, value is indicated from all the future cash flows attributable to the firm or asset, discounted to present value at an appropriate required rate of return. A forecast suitable to perform a discounted cash flow analysis and guidance from Management was not available to Houlihan Capital, and therefore, Houlihan Capital did not utilize the income approach in support of the Opinion.

Enterprise Value of Veea Utilizing the Guideline Public Company Method

Houlihan Capital searched the universe of publicly traded companies for companies with operations that are similar to Veea and identified 16 reasonably similar companies globally. In selecting guideline public companies, we searched for companies with similar business operations, size, prospects for growth, profitability, and risk. Houlihan Capital relied upon the guideline public company peer group presented in the table below.

Based on a detailed analysis of the selected guideline public companies described above, Houlihan Capital considered multiples of fiscal year 2024 revenue for its valuation. In selecting the multiples to apply to Veea, Houlihan Capital reviewed the growth, risk and, with respect to the peer companies incorporated in Houlihan Capital’s analysis, profit margins of the guideline public companies identified by Houlihan Capital.

Based on this information and other factors, Houlihan Capital used professional judgment to select multiples that Houlihan Capital believes reflect the relative comparability of Veea to the guideline public companies. As of November 16, 2023, the Enterprise Value to fiscal year 2024 revenue multiples of the guideline public companies ranged from 2.31x to 13.45x. Ultimately, Houlihan Capital applied an Enterprise Value to fiscal year 2024 revenue multiple of 6.00x to 7.50x (approximately equal to the mean and third quartile multiples of the guideline public companies) for its valuation.

Based on the guideline public company analysis described above, Houlihan Capital calculated an indicated enterprise value range for Veea of between $300.0 million and approximately $375.0 million.

Fairness Opinion Conclusion

Houlihan Capital concluded that, as of the date of the Opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions, conditions and limitations set forth in the written Opinion, the consideration to be issued, paid or exchanged to Plum’s shareholders in the Business Combination is fair from a financial point of view to Plum’s shareholders that are unaffiliated with Plum’s Sponsor.

Certain Unaudited Prospective Financial Information Regarding Veea

Veea does not, as a matter of course, make public projections as to future sales, earnings or other results. However, Veea’s management was requested to share certain internal, unaudited prospective financial information as of November 2023 (the “prospective financial information”) with Plum’s fairness opinion provider, Houlihan Capital, in connection with its rendering of its opinion as described in the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Opinion of Financial Advisor to Plum.”

The prospective financial information was prepared for internal use and was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure or with a view toward complying with the guidelines of the SEC or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants with respect to the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information or GAAP. The prospective financial information does not give Pro Forma effect to the Business Combination. Neither Veea’s independent registered public accounting firm nor any other independent accountants have compiled, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the prospective financial information contained herein, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability. The audit reports included in this proxy statement/prospectus relate to historical financial information do not extend to the prospective financial information and should not be read to do so.

The inclusion of the below prospective financial information should not be regarded as an indication that Veea or any recipient of the prospective financial information considered, or now considers, it to be predictive of actual future results. The prospective financial information is subjective in many respects. As a result, there can be no assurance that the prospective results will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly higher or lower than estimated.

While presented in this proxy statement/prospectus with numeric specificity, the prospective financial information is forward-looking information that is based on numerous assumptions, variables and estimates that are inherently uncertain and may be beyond the control of Veea’s management. Veea believes the assumptions in the prospective financial information were reasonable at the time the prospective financial information was prepared, given the information Veea had at the time. However, the prospective 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 prospective financial information, including, among others, risks and uncertainties relating to Veea’s business, industry performance, the regulatory environment, and general business and economic conditions, as described in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this proxy statement/prospectus. The prospective financial information also reflects assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change. The prospective financial information should not be utilized as public guidance.

EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS (INCLUDING A REGISTRANT’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE FULL AND PROMPT DISCLOSURE OF MATERIAL FACTS, BOTH FAVORABLE AND UNFAVORABLE REGARDING ITS FINANCIAL CONDITION, WHICH RESPONSIBILITY MAY EXTEND TO SITUATIONS WHERE MANAGEMENT KNOWS OR HAS REASON TO KNOW THAT ITS PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED PROJECTIONS NO LONGER HAVE A REASONABLE BASIS), BY INCLUDING IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS A SUMMARY OF THE PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR VEEA, EACH OF PLUM AND VEEA, AND EACH OF ITS RESPECTIVE REPRESENTATIVES

Table of Contents

AND AFFILIATES UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATIONS AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE OR REVISE OR PUBLICLY DISCLOSE ANY UPDATE OR REVISION TO, THIS PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO REFLECT CIRCUMSTANCES OR EVENTS, INCLUDING UNANTICIPATED EVENTS THAT MAY HAVE OCCURRED OR THAT MAY OCCUR AFTER THE PREPARATION OF THIS PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION. NONE OF VEEA, PLUM NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, ADVISORS OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES HAS MADE OR MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION TO ANY VEEA STOCKHOLDER, PLUM SHAREHOLDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON REGARDING ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE COMPARED TO THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THE PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL INFORMATION OR THAT FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS WILL BE ACHIEVED.

As noted above, the prospective financial information was requested by, and disclosed to, Plum which further disclosed it to Plum’s fairness opinion provider, Houlihan Capital, in connection with its rendering of its opinion, and is included in this proxy statement/prospectus on that account.

The prospective financial information was prepared using several assumptions, including the following assumptions regarding operating growth, costs and expenditures and access to capital that Veea’s management believed to be material:

• Veea’s ability to grow sales of its products and services in its target markets of Digital Equity and Inclusion, Climate Smart Spaces and Converged Private Wireless Networks and Smart Retail.

• The rates at which Veea is able to convert potential customers who have entered into binding or nonbinding agreements or other indications or interest into sales and to expand its current concentration of customers.

• Veea’s ability to launch key projects in the United States, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand.

• The ability and willingness of governmental agencies within such countries to provide subsidies to purchasers of Veea’s products and that there is not a shutdown of the U.S. federal government.

• The ability of Veea’s existing contract manufacturers to scale production in accordance with sales growth, and the availability of working capital for such contract manufacturing arrangements.

• Generation of recurring revenue through license subscriptions.

• Veea’s ability to achieve its anticipated average sales price per unit and average monthly license and data subscription fees per unit.

• Veea’s ability to manage its growth and to hire, train and retain the key employees and workforce necessary to grow sales of its products and services.

• Measured increases in operating expenses necessary to grow sales of Veea’s products and services.

• The ability of Veea’s supply chain to continue to provide the equipment Veea needs in a timely manner, at its specifications and at reasonable prices.

• Veea’s ability to obtain additional capital of at least $30 million through the private placement of its newly designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock, as well as the execution of a debt facility of up to potentially $100 million from a third party, for which Veea has executed a term sheet, and its ability to draw down from such facility once entered into.

• For projected gross margin, revenue streams from sales of VeeaHubs®, with its gross margin of 30% – 40% and license and data subscriptions, which are charged upon unit installation, with its estimated gross margin of 60 – 80%. These projections of gross margin are in line with Veea’s historical operating trends.

The estimates and assumptions reflected in the prospective financial information were developed by Veea’s management based primarily on:

• the industry expertise of Veea’s management and employees;

• experience gained through prior operations by Veea’s management and employees;

130

Table of Contents

• for gross margin estimates, the cost of current bill-of-materials and labor costs and estimated costs of technology infrastructure; and

• for unit sales, Veea’s existing binding and nonbinding agreements and other indications of interest from potential customers, and Veea’s assessment of the likelihood of converting each potential customer into sales.

The prospective financial information provided by Veea’s management to Plum was limited to the following projection of sales, revenue and gross margin for 2024:

• sales of approximately 42,000 VeeaHub units at an average price per unit of $1,100 (approximately $46 million in total sales); and

• monthly recurring revenue from license and data subscriptions at an average of $10.95 per unit per month.

The approximately $46 million of sales forecast for 2024 represents a significant increase to sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 and the year ended December 31, 2022. Veea’s management believes that this increase was reasonable based on the following factors:

• Until 2024, Veea’s business plan was largely focused on product development and proof of concepts in new markets. Fiscal 2024 represents the first fiscal year in which Veea believes it can build on this groundwork and commercialize its products in earnest.

• Veea has been diligently pursuing opportunities in the Digital Equity and Inclusion market (See “Information About Veea — Our Target Markets — Digital Equity and Inclusion”), and expects a significant number of sales of its virtual trusted broadband access (“vTBA”) in Southeast Asia and the Americas in 2024.

• Veea has been diligently pursuing opportunities in the Climate Smart Spaces market (See “Information About Veea — Our Target Markets — Climate Smart Spaces”), and expects a significant number of sales of Veea Edge units to large-scale system integrators, distributors and resellers of the Niagara framework in 2024.

At the time the 2024 sales forecast was provided, Veea was party to a number of non-binding memoranda of understanding or teaming agreements (collectively “MOUs”) which Veea uses to facilitate product evaluations and proof of concepts, and the standard form of these MOUs is filed as an exhibit hereto. Following the successful completion of a product evaluation or proof of concept, the parties generally enter into a definitive purchase agreement. Following the preparation of the forecast, (1) Veea has entered into two reseller agreements (“Reseller Agreements”) and is currently negotiating two additional Reseller Agreements and (2) has entered into five MOUs and is currently negotiating four new MOUs with different counterparties. Veea’s standard form of Reseller Agreement is filed as an exhibit hereto. While the MOUs and Reseller Agreements do not guarantee any minimum dollar value of sales and the counterparties are required to deliver a purchase order in order to purchase products from Veea, Veea management believes, based on its experience and judgment and perceived market demand in the territories to which the Reseller Agreements relate, that a portion of these agreements will generate revenue in 2024. Additionally, Veea based on its experience and judgment and on the current status of negotiations with such counterparties, Veea management believes that the MOUs will lead to definitive agreements and generate revenue in 2024. As a result, Veea management believes its sales forecasts for 2024 are reasonable.

However, a number of major customer roll-outs of VeeaHub products forecasted for 2024 are dependent on third-party financing, including those funded through government programs in various countries, which may slip into 2025 totally or partially since the timing of the release of the funds is dependent on many variables beyond the control of Veea and its customers. Veea may also never generate revenue from these agreements or the MOUs or Reseller Agreements current in effect or being negotiated.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

Pursuant to Nasdaq listing rules, the target business or businesses that Plum acquires must collectively have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for Plum’s initial business combination (such requirement, the “80% test”). As of the date of the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the balance of the funds in the trust account was approximately $35.6 million and 80% thereof represents approximately $28.5 million. The Plum Board determined that Veea enterprise value was $285 million.

Based on the analyses described above, the Plum Board determined that the Business Combination with Veea satisfied the 80% test.

131

Table of Contents

Application of these approaches and methodologies involves the use of historical financials, judgments, and assumptions that are highly complex and subjective, such as those regarding Veea’s potential future revenue, expenses, and potential future cash flows, discount rates, market multiples, the selection of comparable public companies, and the probability of and timing associated with possible future events. Changes in any or all of these estimates and assumptions, or the relationships between those assumptions, impact our valuations as of each valuation date and may have a material impact on our valuation and anticipated results.

Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the Plum Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the Initial Shareholders, including Plum’s directors, may have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of Plum shareholders and Warrant holders generally. These interests include, among other things, the interests listed below:

• the fact that our Initial Shareholders have agreed not to redeem any Ordinary Shares held by them in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a proposed initial business combination;

• the fact that the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 for 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, 7,980,409 of which were converted into Class A ordinary shares following the extraordinary meeting of shareholders held on September 13, 2023, and are currently owned by the Sponsor following the forfeiture of 644,591 Class B ordinary shares when the over-allotment option expired on May 2, 2021. The 7,980,409 shares of New Plum Common Stock that the Initial Shareholders will hold following the Business Combination (including 1,726,994 shares subject to forfeiture if the Earnout Triggering Events do not occur), if unrestricted and freely tradable, and in the case of the shares held by the Sponsor, following expiration of the lock-up, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Share on Nasdaq on , 2024 the most recent closing price. This represents a % gain on the Sponsor’s investment. If we do not consummate a Business Combination transaction by June 18, 2024, then the founder shares will be worthless;

• the fact that, given the differential in the purchase price that the Sponsor paid for the founder shares as compared to the price of the Class A ordinary shares sold as part of the Units in the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor may earn a positive rate of return on their investment even if the New Plum Common Stock trades below $ per share and the Public Shareholders experience a negative rate of return following the Closing. Accordingly, the economic interests of the Sponsor diverge from the economic interests of Public Shareholders because the Sponsor will realize a gain on its investment from the completion of any business combination while Public Shareholders will realize a gain only if the post-closing trading price exceeds $ per share;

• the fact that, at the time of the Initial Public Offering, the Initial Shareholders and certain of Plum’s current officers and directors agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Ordinary Shares (other than Public Shares) held by them if Plum fails to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024. The Initial Shareholders and our officers and directors did not receive separate consideration for such waivers. Due to such waivers, the value of the founder shares and Private Placement Warrants are dependent on the consummation of a business combination. This may incentivize such persons to complete a business combination on terms or conditions that are not in the best interest of the Public Shareholders;

• the fact that Sponsor paid $9,384,327 for 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants, which, if unrestricted and freely tradable, would have had an aggregate market value of $ based upon the closing price of $ per Public Warrant (although holders of the Private Placement Warrants have certain rights that differ from the rights of holders of the Public Warrants) on Nasdaq on , 2024 the most recent closing price, and the fact that the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless if a business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that the Registration Rights Agreement will be entered into by the Sponsor and certain other affiliates of Plum;

• the fact that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, for a period of six (6) years following the consummation of the Business Combination, we are required to (i) maintain provisions in the Proposed Charter providing for continued indemnification of Plum’s directors and officers and (ii) continue Plum’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e., a “tail policy”);

132

Table of Contents

• the fact that the Sponsor and Plum’s officers and directors will lose their entire investment in Plum and will not be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses if an initial business combination is not consummated by June 18, 2024;

• the fact that if the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Plum to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.00 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 Plum has entered into an acquisition agreement or claims of any third party for services rendered or products sold to Plum, but only if such a vendor or target business has not executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account;

• the fact that Plum may be entitled to distribute or pay over funds held by Plum outside the Trust Account to the Sponsor or any of its affiliates prior to the Closing; and

• the fact that it is currently contemplated that a designee of Plum will serve as a director of New Plum following the Closing. As such, in the future such person may receive any cash fees or equity awards that the New Plum Board determines to pay its directors.

As a result of the foregoing interests, the Sponsor and Plum’s directors and officers will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete an acquisition of a less favorable target company or on terms less favorable to Public Shareholders rather than liquidate. Based on the closing price per share of the Public Shares on , 2024 as reported on Nasdaq, of $ , in the aggregate, the Sponsor and its affiliates have approximately $ million at risk that depends upon the completion of a business combination. Such amount consists of 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor and 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants.

The Sponsor has, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, agreed to, among other things, vote all of its founder shares and its Public Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the Extraordinary General Meeting in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share Redemption price. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor owns 71% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares. See “— Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Plum as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Plum immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of Plum immediately prior to the Domestication.

The Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum will be treated as the acquired company and Veea will be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New Plum will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Veea, with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of Veea issuing stock for the historical net assets of Plum, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Plum will be stated at fair value, which is expected to approximate historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of Veea.

Regulatory Matters

Under the HSR Act and the rules that have been promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), unless a valid exception applies, certain transactions may not be consummated unless information has been furnished to the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (“Antitrust Division”) and the FTC and certain waiting period requirements have been satisfied.

133

Table of Contents

Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination cannot be completed until the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act has expired or been terminated.

Further, at any time before or after completion of the Business Combination, the DOJ, the FTC, or any state could request additional information or could take such action under the antitrust laws as it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the completion of the Business Combination, to rescind the Business Combination or to seek divestiture of particular assets of Plum, New Plum, or Veea. Private parties also may seek to take legal action under the antitrust laws under certain circumstances. A challenge to the Business Combination on antitrust grounds may be made and, if such a challenge is made, it is possible that Plum and Veea will not prevail.

Plum, Veea and the other parties to the Business Combination Agreement have agreed to cooperate to resolve any objections that the FTC, the DOJ or any other governmental authority may assert under antitrust laws with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and to provide notice to and consult with each other regarding any communications from any governmental authority concerning the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and permit each other an opportunity to review, respond to and participate with respect to any meetings, proceedings or other related communications with a governmental authority.

Except as described above, neither Plum nor Veea is aware of any material regulatory approvals or actions that are required for completion of the Business Combination. It is presently contemplated that if any such regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. There can be no assurance, however, that any required approvals or actions will be obtained.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and accordingly abstentions and broker non-votes will not have an effect on the outcome of the vote.

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned on the approval of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Ordinary Shares.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that entry of Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”) into the Business Combination Agreement dated November 27, 2023 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Plum, Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea” or the “Company”), and Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which, among other things, following the de-registration of Plum as an exempted company in the Cayman Islands and the continuation and domestication of Plum as a corporation in the State of Delaware, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in such merger (the “Merger”) and, as a result of the Merger, Veea will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum, and all other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, be approved, ratified and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the Plum Board

THE PLUM BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT THE PLUM SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the Condition Precedent Proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “— Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL

Overview

As discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus, Plum is asking its shareholders to approve the Domestication Proposal. Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Domestication Proposal is also a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination.

As a condition to closing the Business Combination, the Plum Board has unanimously approved, and Plum shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to approve, a change of Plum’s jurisdiction of incorporation by deregistering as a Cayman Islands exempted company and continuing and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. To effect the Domestication, Plum will file an application to deregister with the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, together with the necessary accompanying documents, and file a certificate of incorporation and a certificate of corporate domestication with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, under which Plum will be domesticated and continue as a Delaware corporation.

In connection with the Domestication, on the Closing Date but after the Redemption of the shareholders of Plum and prior to the Effective Time, (i) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of Plum and Class B ordinary share of Plum, if any, will convert by operation of law, on a one-for-one basis, into shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments; (ii) each issued and outstanding whole Warrant to purchase Class A ordinary shares of Plum will automatically represent the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share of New Plum Common Stock on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement; (iii) the Existing Governing Documents of Plum will be amended and restated in their entirety and the substitution in their place of the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum as described in this proxy statement/prospectus; and (iv) the form of the Proposed Governing Documents will be appropriately adjusted to give effect to any amendments contemplated by the form of the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws that are not adopted and approved by the Plum shareholders, other than the amendments to the Plum governing documents that are contemplated by the Charter Proposal, which is a condition to the Closing of the Business Combination. In connection with clauses (i), and (ii), each issued and outstanding Plum Unit that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A ordinary share and the underlying one-fifth of one Public Warrant prior to the Domestication will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New Plum Common Stock and one-fifth of one New Plum Warrant, with such whole New Plum Warrant representing the right to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Warrant Agreement. No fractional Public Warrants will be issued upon the separation of Units and only whole Public Warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless you hold at least five Units of Plum, you will not be able to receive or trade a Public Warrant when the Units are separated.

The Domestication Proposal, if approved, will approve a change of Plum’s jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware. Accordingly, while Plum is currently incorporated as an exempted company under the Cayman Islands Companies Law, upon the Domestication, New Plum will be governed by the DGCL. We encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.” Additionally, we note that if the Domestication Proposal is approved, then Plum will also ask its shareholders to approve the Charter Proposal and each Advisory Charter Proposal (discussed below), which, if approved, will replace the Existing Governing Documents with the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws of New Plum under the DGCL. The Proposed Governing Documents differ in certain material respects from the Existing Governing Documents and we encourage shareholders to carefully consult the information set out below under “Charter Proposal” and “The Advisory Charter Proposals,” the Existing Governing Documents of Plum, attached hereto as Annex B and the Proposed Governing Documents of New Plum, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D.

Reasons for the Domestication

The Plum Board believes that there are significant advantages to us that will arise as a result of a change of our domicile to Delaware. Further, the Plum Board believes that any direct benefit that the DGCL provides to a corporation also indirectly benefits its stockholders, who are the owners of the corporation. The Plum Board believes that there are several reasons why a reincorporation in Delaware is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders. As explained in more detail below, these reasons can be summarized as follows:

• Prominence, Predictability, and Flexibility of Delaware Law. For many years Delaware has followed a policy of encouraging incorporation in its state and, in furtherance of that policy, has been a leader in adopting, construing, and implementing comprehensive, flexible corporate laws responsive to the legal and business needs of corporations organized under its laws. Many corporations have chosen Delaware initially as a state of incorporation or have subsequently changed corporate domicile to Delaware. Because of Delaware’s prominence as the state of incorporation for many major corporations, both the legislature and courts in Delaware have demonstrated the ability and a willingness to act quickly and effectively to meet changing business needs. The DGCL is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws. This favorable corporate and regulatory environment is attractive to businesses such as ours.

• Well-Established Principles of Corporate Governance. There is substantial judicial precedent in the Delaware courts as to the legal principles applicable to measures that may be taken by a corporation and to the conduct of a company’s board of directors, such as under the business judgment rule and other standards. Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law provides clarity and predictability to many areas of corporate law. We believe such clarity would be advantageous to New Plum, its board of directors and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions. Further, investors and securities professionals are generally more familiar with Delaware corporations, and the laws governing such corporations, increasing their level of comfort with Delaware corporations relative to other jurisdictions. The Delaware courts have developed considerable expertise in dealing with corporate issues, and a substantial body of case law has developed construing Delaware law and establishing public policies with respect to corporate legal affairs. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for New Plum’s stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

• Increased Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Directors. Reincorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware is attractive to directors, officers, and stockholders alike. New Plum’s incorporation in Delaware may make New Plum more attractive to future candidates for the Plum Board, because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law from their past business experience. To date, we have not experienced difficulty in retaining directors or officers, but directors of public companies are exposed to significant potential liability. Thus, candidates’ familiarity and comfort with Delaware laws — especially those relating to director indemnification (as discussed below) — draw such qualified candidates to Delaware corporations. The Plum Board therefore believes that providing the benefits afforded directors by Delaware law will enable New Plum to compete more effectively with other public companies in the recruitment of talented and experienced directors and officers. The frequency of claims and litigation pursued against directors and officers has greatly expanded the risks facing directors and officers of corporations in carrying out their respective duties. The amount of time and money required to respond to such claims and to defend such litigation can be substantial. While both Cayman Islands Companies Law and Delaware law permit a corporation to include a provision in its governing documents to reduce or eliminate the monetary liability of directors for breaches of fiduciary duty in certain circumstances, we believe that, in general, Delaware law is more developed and provides more guidance than Cayman Islands Companies Law on matters regarding a company’s ability to limit director liability. As a result, we believe that the corporate environment afforded by Delaware will enable New Plum to compete more effectively with other public companies in attracting and retaining new directors. Moreover, Delaware’s vast body of law on the fiduciary duties of directors provides appropriate protection for our stockholders from possible abuses by directors and officers.

Expected Accounting Treatment of the Domestication

There will be no accounting effect or change in the carrying amount of the consolidated assets and liabilities of Plum as a result of the Domestication. The business, capitalization, assets and liabilities and financial statements of New Plum immediately following the Domestication will be the same as those of Plum immediately prior to the Domestication.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Domestication Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Domestication Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if each of the Condition Precedent Approvals is not approved, the Domestication Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by holders of Ordinary Shares.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Ordinary Shares in favor of the Domestication Proposal. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that Plum be transferred by way of continuation to Delaware pursuant to Article 47 of the Existing Governing Documents of Plum and Section 388 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and, immediately upon being de-registered in the Cayman Islands, Plum be continued and domesticated as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and, conditioned upon, and with effect from, the registration of Plum as a corporation in the State of Delaware, the name of Plum be changed from “Plum Acquisition Corp. I” to a name to be mutually agreed by Plum and Veea and the registered office of Plum be changed to The Corporation Trust Company, 1209 Orange Street in the City of Wilmington, County of New Castle, in the State of Delaware, 19801.”

Recommendation of the Plum Board

THE PLUM BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PLUM SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE DOMESTICATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

CHARTER PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, Plum is asking its shareholders to approve by special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, the amendment and restatement of the Existing Governing Documents by deletion in their entirety and replacement with the Proposed Governing Documents, in the form attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D. If each of the Charter Proposal and Domestication Proposal is approved and the Business Combination is consummated, the Proposed Governing Documents will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D.

Under the Business Combination Agreement, the approval of the Charter Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination and the effectiveness of the Charter Proposal is also conditioned on the approval of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals. Therefore, if the Charter Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination will not be completed unless the condition is waived. Similarly, if the other Condition Precedent Proposals are not each approved and if the Business Combination is not completed, the Charter Proposal will have no effect, even if approved by the Plum shareholders.

Reasons for the Charter Proposal

The Proposed Charter was negotiated as part of the Business Combination. The following is a summary of the key changes effected by the Proposed Charter relative to the Existing Governing Documents, as well as the Plum Board’s reasons for asking the shareholders of Plum to approve the Charter Proposal. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Proposed Governing Documents, copies of which are included as Annex C and Annex D.

Corporate Name

The Plum Board believes that changing the corporate name from “Plum Acquisition Corp. I” to a name to be mutually agreed by Plum and Veea in connection with the Domestication is desirable to reflect the Business Combination and to clearly identify New Plum as the publicly traded entity.

Changes in Share Capital

The Plum Board believes that it is desirable to eliminate the provisions for Plum’s current Class B ordinary shares and to increase the number of Plum’s authorized shares, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, from 551,000,000 authorized shares consisting of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, and 1,000,000 preference shares, to shares consisting of shares of New Plum Common Stock and shares of New Plum Preferred Stock, in order for Plum to be able to be flexible in considering future business needs and opportunities.

Opt Out of DGCL 242(b)(2)

The Plum Board believes that it is appropriate that the number of authorized shares of any class of common stock or preferred stock of New Plum to be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of New Plum’s stock entitled to vote, irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL. Therefore, the Plum Board believes it is desirable to remove the separate class vote for increases and decreases of the authorized shares of any class of capital stock to allow all stockholders to vote upon such matters.

Changing the Number of Directors; Stockholder Removal of Directors

The Plum Board believes that it is desirable to give the New Plum Board the exclusive authority to fix the number of directors from time to time and limit the ability of New Plum stockholders to remove members of the New Plum Board from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum, entitled to

138

Table of Contents

vote on the election of such director, voting together as a single class in order to increase board continuity and the likelihood that experienced board members with familiarity of New Plum’s business operations would serve on the board at any given time and make it more difficult for a potential acquiror or other person to gain control of the New Plum Board.

Eliminating Action by Written Consent of Stockholders

The Plum Board believes that it is desirable that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of New Plum must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and not by written consent since eliminating the right of New Plum stockholders to act by written consent limits the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to remove directors or alter or amend New Plum’s organizational documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of New Plum.

Supermajority Vote Required to Amend the Bylaws

The Plum Board believes that it is desirable that stockholder-adopted bylaws, and stockholder amendments or other alterations to the bylaws require approval of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum to prevent a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Supermajority Vote Required to Amend Certain Charter Provisions

The Plum Board believes that it is desirable that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum to be required for amendments of certain provisions of the Proposed Charter relating to: (i) classification and election of the New Plum Board, removal of directors from office, and filling vacancies on the New Plum Board, (ii) actions taken by the stockholders of New Plum, (iii) exculpation of personal liability of a director of New Plum and indemnification of persons serving as directors or officers of New Plum, (iv) forum for certain legal actions, (v) renunciation of certain corporate opportunities, and (vi) amendments to the Proposed Charter and New Plum Bylaws. The Plum Board believes that this requirement is appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders.

Exclusive Forum Provision

The Plum Board believes that it is desirable to adopt an exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation in order to avoid multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same matter. Therefore, the Proposed Charter adopts (i) Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation and (ii) the federal district courts of the United States of America as the exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

Provisions Related to Status as a Blank Check Company

The elimination of certain provisions related to Plum’s status as a blank check company is desirable because these provisions will serve no purpose following consummation of the Business Combination. For example, the Proposed Charter allows New Plum to continue as a corporate entity with perpetual existence following consummation of the Business Combination. Perpetual existence is the usual period of existence for public corporations, and the Plum Board believes it is the most appropriate period for New Plum following consummation of the Business Combination. In addition, certain other provisions in the Existing Governing Documents require that proceeds from the Initial Public Offering be held in the Trust Account until a business combination or liquidation of Plum has occurred. These provisions cease to apply once the Business Combination is consummated and are therefore not included in the Proposed Charter.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Charter Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (66⅔%) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to

139

Table of Contents

vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Charter Proposal is conditioned on the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Ordinary Shares in favor of the Charter Proposal. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, the Existing Governing Documents of Plum (annexed to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B) be amended and restated by their deletion in their entirety and their replacement by the Proposed Governing Documents (annexed to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D) and that these be approved as the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, respectively, of New Plum, effective upon the effectiveness of the Domestication.”

Recommendation of the Plum Board

THE PLUM BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PLUM SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE CHARTER PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

THE ADVISORY CHARTER PROPOSALS

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, Plum is asking its shareholders to vote on a series of separate proposals with respect to certain governance provisions in the Proposed Charter, which are separately being presented in accordance with SEC guidance to give shareholders the opportunity to present their separate views on important corporate governance provisions and which will be voted upon on a non-binding advisory basis. This separate vote is not otherwise required by Cayman Islands Companies Law separate and apart from the Charter Proposal, but pursuant to SEC guidance, Plum is required to submit these provisions to its shareholders separately for approval. However, the shareholder vote regarding these proposals is advisory in nature, and is not binding on Plum or the Plum Board (separate and apart from the approval of the Charter Proposal, which is binding on Plum). Furthermore, the Business Combination is not conditioned on the separate approval of the Advisory Charter Proposals (separate and apart from approval of the Charter Proposal, which is cross-condition with approving the Business Combination Proposal). Accordingly, regardless of the outcome of the non-binding advisory vote on these proposals, Plum intends that the Proposed Charter will take effect at the Closing (assuming approval of the Charter Proposal).

Advisory Charter Proposal A — Changes in Share Capital

If the Charter Proposal is approved, the Proposed Charter will remove the provisions for Plum’s current Class B ordinary shares (all outstanding shares of which were converted into Class A ordinary shares of Plum in connection the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023) and the Proposed Charter will increase the number of Plum’s authorized shares, each with a par value of $0.0001 per share, from 551,000,000 authorized shares consisting of 500,000,000 Class A ordinary shares, 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, and 1,000,000 preference shares, to shares consisting of shares of New Plum Common Stock and shares of New Plum Preferred Stock.

Although Plum has a sufficient number of authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares to complete the Business Combination, the Plum Board has determined that the increase in the number of authorized shares is desirable and in the best interest of Plum shareholders because it will enhance New Plum’s flexibility following the Closing to consider and respond to future business needs and opportunities as they arise from time to time, without incurring the risk, delay, and potential expense associated with obtaining stockholder approval. Although there is no present intention to issue any shares beyond those contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the reservation of shares for grants pursuant to the Incentive Equity Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the additional authorized shares of common stock would be issuable for any proper corporate purpose, including without limitation, stock splits, stock dividends, future acquisitions, investment opportunities, capital raising transactions of equity or convertible debt securities, issuances under current or future equity compensation plans or for other corporate purposes.

Since New Plum stockholders will have no preemptive rights, the New Plum Board may issue shares, including the additional authorized shares, at any time without further authorization from such stockholders, except to the extent otherwise required by law or Nasdaq rules. The terms upon which any such securities may be issued will be determined by the New Plum Board. Incidental effects of the increase in the outstanding number of shares of common stock may include dilution of ownership and voting power of existing New Plum shareholders. New Plum could also use the increased number of shares of common stock for potential strategic transactions, including, among other things, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, restructurings, business combinations and investments, although there are no immediate plans to do so. No assurance can be given that any such transactions will (i) be completed on favorable terms or at all, (ii) enhance stockholder value or (iii) not adversely affect the business or trading price of New Plum Common Stock.

The determination to increase the number of authorized shares has been prompted by business and financial considerations and not by the threat of any known or threatened hostile takeover attempt. However, stockholders should be aware that, while not the current intention, approval of Advisory Charter Proposal A could facilitate future efforts by New Plum to deter or prevent changes in control of New Plum, including transactions the New Plum Board determines are not in the best interests of New Plum or its stockholders. For example, without further

141

Table of Contents

stockholder approval, the New Plum Board could sell shares of New Plum Common Stock in a private transaction to purchasers who would oppose a takeover or favor the New Plum Board. At the present time, there is no intention to use any additional shares for anti-takeover purposes.

Advisory Charter Proposal B — Stockholder Removal of Directors

Under the Existing Governing Documents, prior to the closing of a Business Combination (as defined in the Existing Governing Documents), members of the Plum Board may be removed from office, by an ordinary resolution, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Class B ordinary shares, who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, cast votes at a general meeting (or a resolution passed in writing unanimously).

If the Charter Proposal is approved, under the Proposed Charter, stockholders may remove members of the New Plum Board from office only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum entitled to vote on the election of such director, voting together as a single class.

The Plum Board believes that the extraordinary action of removing a director, or the entire New Plum Board, for cause should not be taken without the approval of a substantial portion of New Plum’s voting power. Imposition of a two-thirds (66⅔%) voting requirement for this action will ensure that any removal cannot be effected against the will of a substantial portion of stockholders. In reaching this conclusion, the Plum Board was cognizant of the potential for certain stockholders to hold a substantial beneficial ownership of New Plum. Plum further believes that, going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages persons seeking control of New Plum to negotiate with the New Plum Board to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders.

Advisory Charter Proposal C — Required Vote to Change Number of Directors

Under the Existing Governing Documents, the number of directors of Plum may be increased or reduced by an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, cast votes at a general meeting (or a resolution passed in writing unanimously).

If the Charter Proposal is approved, under the Proposed Charter, and subject to the rights of holders of any series of preferred stock, the number of directors will be fixed from time to time by a majority of the New Plum Board.

The Plum Board believes that the change giving exclusive authority to a majority of the New Plum Board to fix the number of directors from time to time and thereby limiting the ability of the stockholders to increase or decrease the number of directors will help to reduce the vulnerability of New Plum to a hostile change of control by large stockholders and to enhance the ability of the New Plum Board to maximize long-term value creation for stockholders in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire New Plum.

Advisory Charter Proposal D — Eliminating Stockholder Ability to Act by Written Consent

Under the Existing Governing Documents, a unanimous written resolution of shareholders shall be as valid and effective as if the resolution had been passed at a duly convened and held general meeting.

If the Charter Proposal is approved, under the Proposed Charter, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of New Plum must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting (subject to any right of preferred stockholders to act by written consent if granted by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of preferred stock).

Eliminating the right of stockholders of New Plum to act by written consent limits the circumstances under which stockholders can act on their own initiative to remove directors or alter or amend New Plum’s organizational documents outside of a duly called special or annual meeting of the stockholders of New Plum. Further, the Plum Board believes that eliminating the ability of stockholders of New Plum to act by written consent will reduce the time and effort the New Plum Board and New Plum management would need to devote to responding to proposals submitted by stockholders of New Plum, which time and effort could distract those directors and management from other important company business.

142

Table of Contents

Advisory Charter Proposal E — Supermajority Vote Required to Amend the Bylaws

Plum does not have bylaws; however, the Existing Governing Documents include provisions similar to certain amendment provisions contained in the Proposed Bylaws and the Proposed Charter which require a special resolution, being a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds (66⅔%) of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, cast votes at a general meeting (or a resolution passed in writing unanimously).

If the Charter Proposal is approved, under the Proposed Charter, the New Plum Board is expressly authorized to adopt, amend, alter, or repeal the Proposed Bylaws. The Proposed Bylaws can also be adopted, amended, altered, or repealed by the stockholders, provided that any stockholder amendment to Proposed Bylaws will require approval of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then-outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum.

The Plum Board believes that this amendment protects the Proposed Bylaws from arbitrary changes and prevents a simple majority of stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to the majority of the New Plum stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all stockholders.

Advisory Charter Proposal F — Supermajority Vote Required to Amend Certain Charter Provisions

Amendments to the Existing Governing Documents require a special resolution, being a resolution passed by a majority of two-thirds (66⅔%) of the holders of Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, cast votes at a general meeting (or a resolution passed in writing unanimously).

Under the Proposed Charter, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum will be required for amendments of certain provisions of the Proposed Charter relating to: (i) classification and election of the New Plum Board, removal of directors from office, and filling vacancies on the New Plum Board, (ii) actions taken by the stockholders of New Plum, (iii) exculpation of personal liability of a director of New Plum and indemnification of persons serving as directors or officers of New Plum, (iv) forum for certain legal actions, (v) renunciation of certain corporate opportunities, and (vi) amendments to the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws.

The Plum Board believes that supermajority voting requirements are appropriate at this time to protect all stockholders against the potential self-interested actions by one or a few large stockholders. Plum further believes that, going forward, a supermajority voting requirement encourages the person seeking control of New Plum to negotiate with the New Plum Board to reach terms that are appropriate for all stockholders. This provision prevents the arbitrary amendment of key provisions of the Proposed Charter and prevents a simple majority of New Plum stockholders from taking actions that may be harmful to other New Plum stockholders or making changes to provisions that are intended to protect all New Plum stockholders.

Advisory Charter Proposal G — Exclusive Forum Provision

Under the Existing Governing Documents, there is not an exclusive forum for certain shareholder litigation.

Under the Proposed Charter, the Court of Chancery for the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”) will be the sole and exclusive forum (or, in the event that the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware or other state courts of the State of Delaware) for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action, suit or proceeding brought on New Plum’s behalf, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or stockholder of New Plum against New Plum or against New Plum’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws (as each may be amended from time to time), (iv) any action, suit or proceeding as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery, or (v) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against New Plum or any current or former director, officer or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine. The Proposed Charter will further provide that unless New Plum consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the federal district courts of the United States will be the exclusive forum for the resolutions of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Proposed Charter will provide that the exclusive forum provision will not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or any other claim for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

143

Table of Contents

The Plum Board believes that adopting Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain stockholder litigation will assist New Plum in avoiding multiple lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions regarding the same subject matter. The ability to require such claims to be brought in a single forum will help to ensure consistent consideration of the issues, the application of a relatively known body of case law and level of expertise and should promote efficiency and cost-savings in the resolutions of such claims. The Plum Board believes that the Delaware courts are best suited to address disputes involving internal corporate governance matters relating to New Plum because, after the Domestication, New Plum will be incorporated in Delaware and Delaware law generally applies to such matters and the Delaware courts have a reputation for expertise in corporate law matters.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals, each an ordinary resolution, each of which is a non-binding vote, requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued Ordinary Shares who, being present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote on such matter, casts votes at the Extraordinary General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast with respect to, and otherwise will have no effect on, the proposal.

The Advisory Charter Proposals are conditioned upon the approval of the Charter Proposal.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Ordinary Shares in favor of each of the Advisory Charter Proposals. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.

Recommendation of the Plum Board

THE PLUM BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PLUM SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF EACH OF THE ADVISORY CHARTER PROPOSALS.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

NASDAQ PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, Plum is asking its shareholders to approve by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands Companies Law a proposal to approve, for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of the Nasdaq Listing Rules (each, a “Nasdaq Listing Rule”) 5635(a), (b) and (d), as applicable, the issuance of shares of New Plum Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination, plus any additional shares pursuant to subscription agreements Plum may enter into prior to Closing, to the extent such issuance would require a shareholder vote under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a), (b) or (d) (such proposal, the “Nasdaq Proposal”).

Reasons for the Approval for Purposes of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(a)(1), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of common stock, or of securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering for cash and (i) the common stock has, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of such securities (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (ii) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(b), shareholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities when the issuance or potential issuance will result in a change of control of the registrant.

Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d), shareholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering, involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lesser of the official Nasdaq closing price immediately before signing of the binding agreement and the average official Nasdaq closing price for the five (5) trading-days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement of the stock if the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or may be equal to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.

If the Business Combination is completed pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Plum currently expects to issue an estimated shares of New Plum Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Consideration to Veea Stockholders in the Business Combination” and “Incentive Equity Plan Proposal.”

In the event that this proposal is not approved by Plum shareholders, the Business Combination cannot be consummated. In the event that this proposal is approved by Plum shareholders, but the Business Combination Agreement is terminated (without the Business Combination being consummated) prior to the issuance of shares of New Plum Common Stock pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, New Plum will not issue such shares of New Plum Common Stock.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Nasdaq Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Nasdaq Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of each of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Ordinary Shares in favor of the Nasdaq Proposal. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that for the purposes of complying with the applicable provisions of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635, the issuance of shares of New Plum Common Stock be approved.”

Recommendation of the Plum Board

THE PLUM BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PLUM SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

INCENTIVE EQUITY PLAN PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, shareholders are being asked to approve the Incentive Equity Plan attached hereto as Annex I. Up to shares of New Plum Common Stock, which amount equals ten percent (10%) of the aggregate shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing, will initially be reserved for issuance under such Incentive Equity Plan[, and additional shares will become available for issuance each year] as described below under “Aggregate Share Limit.” The Incentive Equity Plan is intended to replace the Legacy Equity Incentive Plans, which New Plum will assume in the Business Combination. The Plum Board of Directors has approved the Incentive Equity Plan, subject to shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

Summary

The principal terms of the Incentive Equity Plan are summarized below. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text, which appears as Annex I to this proxy statement.

Purpose

The purpose of the Incentive Equity Plan is to promote the success of New Plum by providing an additional means to attract, motivate, retain and reward selected employees and other eligible persons through the grant of awards. Equity-based awards are also intended to further align the interests of award recipients and stockholders. Veea and Plum believe that stock-based awards focus employees on the objective of creating stockholder value and promoting the success of the company, and that incentive compensation plans like the proposed Incentive Equity Plan are an important attraction, retention and motivation tool for participants in the plan.

Administration

The compensation committee of the New Plum Board will administer the Incentive Equity Plan, and may delegate different levels of authority to different committees or persons with administrative and grant authority under the Incentive Equity Plan. (The appropriate acting body, be it the compensation committee or other person within its delegated authority is referred to in this proposal as the “Administrator”).

The Administrator has broad authority under the Incentive Equity Plan, including, without limitation, the authority:

• to select eligible participants and determine the type(s) of award(s) that they are to receive;

• to grant awards and determine the terms and conditions of awards, including the price (if any) to be paid for the shares or the award and, in the case of share-based awards, the number of shares to be offered or awarded;

• to determine any applicable vesting and exercise conditions for awards (including any applicable performance and/or time-based vesting or exercisability conditions) and the extent to which such conditions have been satisfied, or determine that no delayed vesting or exercise is required, to determine the circumstances in which any performance-based goals (or the applicable measure of performance) will be adjusted and the nature and impact of any such adjustment, to establish the events (if any) on which exercisability or vesting may accelerate (including specified terminations of employment or service or other circumstances), and to accelerate or extend the vesting or exercisability or extend the term of any or all outstanding awards (subject in the case of options and stock appreciation rights to the maximum term of the award);

• to cancel, modify, or waive New Plum’s rights with respect to, or modify, discontinue, suspend, or terminate any or all outstanding awards, subject to any required consents;

• subject to the other provisions of the Incentive Equity Plan, to make certain adjustments to an outstanding award and to authorize the conversion, succession or substitution of an award;

147

Table of Contents

• to determine the method of payment of any purchase price for an award or shares of New Plum Common Stock delivered under the Incentive Equity Plan, as well as any tax-related items with respect to an award, which may be in the form of cash, check, or electronic funds transfer, by the delivery of already-owned shares of New Plum Common Stock or by a reduction of the number of shares deliverable pursuant to the award, by services rendered by the recipient of the award, by notice and third party payment or cashless exercise on such terms as the Administrator may authorize, or any other form permitted by law;

• to modify the terms and conditions of any award, establish sub-plans and agreements and determine different terms and conditions that the Administrator deems necessary or advisable to comply with laws in the countries where New Plum or one of its subsidiaries operates or where one or more eligible participants reside or provide services;

• to approve the form of any award agreements used under the Incentive Equity Plan; and

• to construe and interpret the Incentive Equity Plan, make rules for the administration of the Incentive Equity Plan, and make all other determinations for the administration of the Incentive Equity Plan.

Eligibility

Persons eligible to receive awards under the Incentive Equity Plan include New Plum’s officers or employees, directors, and certain consultants and advisors. We estimate that, immediately following the Closing of the Business Combination, approximately officers and employees of New Plum (including all of the named executive officers), and each of the members of New Plum’s Board of Directors who are not employed by New Plum or any of its subsidiaries (the “Non-Employee Directors”), will be considered eligible under the Incentive Equity Plan.

Aggregate Share Limit

The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the Incentive Equity Plan equals shares (the “Share Limit”), which amount equals ten percent (10%) of the aggregate shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Closing. In addition, the Share Limit shall automatically increase on the first day in January of each calendar year during the term of the Incentive Equity Plan, with the first such increase to occur in January 2025, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) percent ( %) of the total number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding on December 31 of the immediately preceding calendar year or (ii) such number of shares of New Plum Common Stock as may be established by the New Plum Board.

Additional Share Limits

The following other limits are also contained in the Incentive Equity Plan. These limits are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Share Limit for the plan described above.

• The maximum number of shares that may be delivered pursuant to options qualified as incentive stock options granted under the Incentive Equity Plan is shares. (For clarity, any shares issued in respect of incentive stock options granted under the Incentive Equity Plan will also count against the overall Share Limit above.)

• Awards that are granted under the Incentive Equity Plan during any one calendar year to any person who, on the grant date of the award, is a Non-Employee Director shall not exceed the number of shares that produce a grant date fair value for the award that, when combined with (i) the grant date fair value of any other awards granted under the Incentive Equity Plan during that same calendar year to that individual in his or her capacity as a Non-Employee Director and (ii) the dollar amount of all other cash compensation payable by New Plum to such Non-Employee Director for his or her services in such capacity during that same calendar year (regardless of whether deferred and excluding any interest or earnings on any portion of such amount that may be deferred), is $750,000; provided that this limit is $1,000,000 as to any new Non-Employee Director for the calendar year in which the Non-Employee Director is first elected or

148

Table of Contents

appointed to the Board of Directors. For purposes of this limit, the “grant date fair value” of an award means the value of the award as of the date of grant of the award and as determined in accordance with ASC Topic 718 or successor provision but excluding the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting provisions. This limit does not apply to, and will be determined without taking into account, any award granted to an individual who, on the grant date of the award, is an officer or employee of New Plum or one of its subsidiaries. This limit applies on an individual basis and not on an aggregate basis to all Non-Employee Directors as a group.

Share-Limit Counting Rules

The Share Limit of the Incentive Equity Plan is subject to the following rules:

• Shares that are subject to or underlie awards which expire or for any reason are cancelled or terminated, are forfeited, fail to vest, or for any other reason are not paid or delivered under the Incentive Equity Plan will not be counted against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the Incentive Equity Plan.

• Except as described below, to the extent that shares are delivered pursuant to the exercise of a stock appreciation right granted under the Incentive Equity Plan, the number of underlying shares which are actually issued in payment of the award shall be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if a stock appreciation right relates to ten (10) shares and is exercised at a time when the payment due to the participant is fifty (50) shares, fifty (50) shares shall be charged against the Share Limit with respect to such exercise.)

• Shares that are exchanged by a participant or withheld by New Plum as full or partial payment in connection with any award granted under the Incentive Equity Plan, as well as any shares exchanged or withheld to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any award granted under the Incentive Equity Plan, will not be counted against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the Incentive Equity Plan.

• To the extent that an award granted under the Incentive Equity Plan is settled in cash or a form other than shares, the shares that would have been delivered had there been no such cash or other settlement will not be counted against the Share Limit and will again be available for subsequent awards under the Incentive Equity Plan.

• In the event that shares are delivered in respect of a dividend equivalent right granted under the Incentive Equity Plan, the number of shares delivered with respect to the award will be counted against the Share Limit. (For purposes of clarity, if fifty (50) dividend equivalent rights are granted and outstanding when New Plum pays a dividend, and ten (10) shares are delivered in payment of those rights with respect to that dividend, ten (10) shares shall be counted against the Share Limit.) Except as otherwise provided by the Administrator, shares delivered in respect of dividend equivalent rights shall not count against any individual award limit under the Incentive Equity Plan other than the aggregate Share Limit.

In addition, the Incentive Equity Plan generally provides that shares issued in connection with awards that are granted by or become obligations of New Plum through the assumption of awards (or in substitution for awards) in connection with an acquisition of another company will not count against the shares available for issuance under the Incentive Equity Plan. New Plum may not increase the applicable share limits of the Incentive Equity Plan by repurchasing shares of common stock on the market (by using cash received through the exercise of stock options or otherwise).

Types of Awards

The Incentive Equity Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights, and other forms of awards granted or denominated in New Plum Common Stock or Units of New Plum Common Stock, as well as cash bonus awards. The Incentive Equity Plan retains flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be structured to be paid or settled in cash.

149

Table of Contents

A stock option is the right to purchase shares of New Plum Common Stock at a future date at a specified price per share (the “exercise price”). The per share exercise price of an option generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of New Plum Common Stock on the date of grant. The maximum term of an option is ten years from the date of grant. An option may either be an incentive stock option or a nonqualified stock option. Incentive stock option benefits are taxed differently from nonqualified stock options, as described under the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards Under the Incentive Equity Plan” below. Incentive stock options are also subject to more restrictive terms and are limited in amount by the Code and the Incentive Equity Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of New Plum.

A stock appreciation right is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of share of New Plum Common Stock on the date of exercise of the stock appreciation right over the base price of the stock appreciation right. The base price will be established by the Administrator at the time of grant of the stock appreciation right and generally may not be less than the fair market value of a share of New Plum Common Stock on the date of grant. Stock appreciation rights may be granted in connection with other awards or independently. The maximum term of a stock appreciation right is ten years from the date of grant.

The other types of awards that may be granted under the Incentive Equity Plan include, without limitation, stock bonuses, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance stock, stock units or phantom stock (which are contractual rights to receive shares of stock, or cash based on the fair market value of a share of stock), dividend equivalents which represent the right to receive a payment based on the dividends paid on a share of stock over a stated period of time, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares, and cash awards.

Any awards under the Incentive Equity Plan (including awards of stock options and stock appreciation rights) may be fully-vested at grant or may be subject to time- and/or performance-based vesting requirements.

Dividend Equivalents; Deferrals

The Administrator may provide for the deferred payment of awards and may determine the other terms applicable to deferrals. The Administrator may provide that awards under the Incentive Equity Plan (other than options or stock appreciation rights), and/or deferrals, earn dividends or dividend equivalents based on the amount of dividends paid on outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock, provided that any dividends and/or dividend equivalents as to the portion of an award that is subject to unsatisfied vesting requirements will be subject to termination and forfeiture to the same extent as the corresponding portion of the award to which they relate in the event the applicable vesting requirements are not satisfied (or, in the case of a restricted stock or similar award where the dividend must be paid as a matter of law, the dividend payment will be subject to forfeiture or repayment, as the case may be, if the related vesting conditions are not satisfied).

Assumption and Termination of Awards

If an event occurs in which New Plum does not survive (or does not survive as a public company in respect of its common stock), including, without limitation, a dissolution, merger, combination, consolidation, conversion, exchange of securities, or other reorganization, or a sale of all or substantially all of the business, stock or assets of New Plum, awards then-outstanding under the Incentive Equity Plan will not automatically become fully vested pursuant to the provisions of the Incentive Equity Plan so long as such awards are assumed, substituted for or otherwise continued. However, if awards then-outstanding under the Incentive Equity Plan are to be terminated in such circumstances (without being assumed or substituted for), such awards would generally become fully vested (with any performance goals applicable to the award being deemed met at the “target” performance level), subject to any exceptions that the Administrator may provide for in an applicable award agreement. The Administrator also has the discretion to establish other change in control provisions with respect to awards granted under the Incentive Equity Plan. For example, the Administrator could provide for the acceleration of vesting or payment of an award in connection with a corporate event or in connection with a termination of the award holder’s employment.

Transfer Restrictions

Subject to certain exceptions contained in Section 14 of the Incentive Equity Plan, awards under the Incentive Equity Plan generally are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are generally exercisable, during the recipient’s lifetime, only by the recipient. Any amounts payable or shares issuable pursuant to an award generally will be paid only to the recipient or the recipient’s beneficiary or

150

Table of Contents

representative. The Administrator has discretion, however, to establish written conditions and procedures for the transfer of awards to other persons or entities, provided that such transfers comply with applicable federal and state securities laws and are not made for value (other than nominal consideration, settlement of marital property rights, or for interests in an entity in which more than 50% of the voting securities are held by the award recipient or by the recipient’s family members).

Adjustments

As is customary in incentive plans of this nature, each share limit and the number and kind of shares available under the Incentive Equity Plan and any outstanding awards, as well as the exercise or purchase prices of awards, and performance targets under certain types of performance-based awards, are subject to adjustment in the event of certain reorganizations, mergers, combinations, recapitalizations, stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar events that change the number or kind of shares outstanding, and extraordinary dividends or distributions of property to the stockholders.

No Limit on Other Authority

The Incentive Equity Plan does not limit the authority of the Board of Directors or any committee to grant awards or authorize any other compensation, with or without reference to New Plum Common Stock, under any other plan or authority.

Termination of or Changes to the Incentive Equity Plan

The Board of Directors may amend or terminate the Incentive Equity Plan at any time and in any manner. Stockholder approval for an amendment will be required only to the extent then required by applicable law or deemed necessary or advisable by the Board of Directors. Unless terminated earlier by the Board of Directors and subject to any extension that may be approved by stockholders, the authority to grant new awards under the Incentive Equity Plan will terminate on the tenth anniversary of its establishment. Outstanding awards, as well as the Administrator’s authority with respect thereto, generally will continue following the expiration or termination of the Incentive Equity Plan. Generally speaking, outstanding awards may be amended by the Administrator (except for a repricing), but the consent of the award holder is required if the amendment (or any plan amendment) materially and adversely affects the holder.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of Awards under the Incentive Equity Plan

The following is a summary of some of the material federal income tax consequences to participants in the Incentive Equity Plan under current federal tax laws. This summary deals with the general tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Certain types of taxes, such as state, local or international income taxes, are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of income taxation that may be relevant to a participant in light of his or her personal investment circumstances and, among other considerations, does not describe the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent an award is subject to and does not satisfy those rules. This summarized tax information is not tax advice.

With respect to nonqualified stock options, New Plum is generally entitled to deduct and the participant recognizes taxable income in an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. With respect to incentive stock options, New Plum is generally not entitled to a deduction nor does the participant recognize income at the time of exercise, although the participant may be subject to the U.S. federal alternative minimum tax.

The current federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the Incentive Equity Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid (if any) only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); restricted stock units, bonuses, stock appreciation rights, cash and stock-based performance awards, dividend equivalents, stock units, and other types of awards are generally subject to tax at the time of payment; and compensation otherwise effectively deferred is taxed when paid. In each of the foregoing cases, New Plum will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income.

151

Table of Contents

If an award is accelerated under the Incentive Equity Plan in connection with a “change in control” (as this term is used under the Code), New Plum may not be permitted to deduct the portion of the compensation attributable to the acceleration (the “parachute payments”) if it exceeds certain threshold limits under the Code (and certain related excise taxes may be triggered). Furthermore, under Section 162(m) of the Code, the aggregate compensation in excess of $1,000,000 payable to current or former named executive officers (including amounts attributable to equity-based and other incentive awards) may not be deductible by New Plum in certain circumstances.

Specific Benefits under the Incentive Equity Plan

New Plum has not approved any awards that are conditioned upon stockholder approval of the Incentive Equity Plan. New Plum is not currently considering any other specific award grants under the Incentive Equity Plan.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Ordinary Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Extraordinary General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the Extraordinary General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Incentive Equity Plan Proposal is conditioned upon the approval adoption of each of the Condition Precedent Proposals.

The Sponsor has agreed to vote all of its Ordinary Shares in favor of the Incentive Equity Plan Proposal. See “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Sponsor Letter Agreement” for more information.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the New Plum 2024 Incentive Equity Plan, a copy of which is attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex I, be adopted and approved.”

Recommendation of the Plum Board

THE PLUM BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT PLUM SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE Incentive Equity PLAN PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of Plum’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he, she or they may believe is in the best interests of Plum and its shareholders and what he, she or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, Plum’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Business Combination Proposal — Interests of Plum’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

ESPP PROPOSAL

Overview

Assuming the Condition Precedent Proposals are approved, shareholders are being asked to approve the Employee Stock Purchase Plan attached hereto as Annex J. The Plum Board of Directors has approved the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Proposal, subject to shareholder approval at the Extraordinary General Meeting.

The purpose of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan is to enable eligible employees of New Plum to use payroll deductions to purchase shares of New Plum Common Stock and thereby enhance the sense of participation in the affairs of New Plum. The Plum Board of Directors believes that providing eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire an ownership interest in New Plum will be essential to New Plum’s ability to attract and retain the highest quality and highest performing employees. The Plum Board of Directors also believes that the ownership of shares of New Plum Common Stock by New Plum’s employees will motivate New Plum’s employees to contribute to the achievement of New Plum’s corporate objectives and success. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan includes two components: a Code Section 423 Component (the “423 Component”) and a non-Code Section 423 Component (the “Non-423 Component”). It is intended for the 423 Component to constitute an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the 423 Component shall be interpreted in accordance with that intent. The 423 Component will provide potential additional tax benefits to employees, in addition to the general plan benefit of enabling them to share in the ownership of New Plum. Under the Non-423 Component, which does not qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423(b) of the Code, options will be granted pursuant to rules, procedures or sub-plans adopted by the Administrator designed to comply with appliable laws to achieve tax, and other objectives for eligible employees. Except as otherwise provided herein or by the Administrator, the Non-423 Component will operate and be administered in the same manner as the 423 Component.

The initial maximum aggregate number of shares of New Plum Common Stock that may be purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be , which shall increase on January 1 of each of 2025 through 2034, by the lesser of (i) percent ( %) of the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding on the immediately preceding December 31, and (ii) such lesser number of shares of New Plum Common Stock as determined by the Administrator (collectively, the “ESPP Share Reserve”). The ESPP Share Reserve represents approximately % of the total number of shares of New Plum Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing of the Business Combination.

Summary of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The following summary describes the material terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. This summary is not a complete description of all provisions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, in the form attached hereto as Annex J.

Share reserve. An amount of shares equal to percent ( %) of the shares of fully-diluted New Plum Common Stock outstanding at the closing of the Business Combination, which would equal shares, assuming no Redemptions and based on the number of shares of Veea Common Stock outstanding on December 31, 2023, will be reserved and available for sale under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The aggregate number of shares reserved for sale under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will increase automatically on January 1 of each of 2025 through 2034 by a number of shares equal to the lesser of percent ( %) of the total number of outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock as of the immediately preceding December 31 or a number of shares as may be determined by the New Plum Board or the compensation committee. The aggregate number of shares issued over the term of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, subject to adjustments for stock-splits, recapitalizations or similar events, may not exceed a number of shares equal to ten times the ESPP Share Reserve.

Administration. The compensation committee will administer the Employee Stock Purchase Plan subject to the terms and conditions of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Among other things, the compensation committee will have the authority to determine eligibility for participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, designate separate offerings under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and construe, interpret and apply the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

153

Table of Contents

Eligibility. Employees eligible to participate in any offering pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan generally include any employee who is employed by New Plum or its subsidiaries at the beginning of the applicable offering period. However, any employee who owns (or is deemed to own as a result of attribution) 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of New Plum capital stock, or the capital stock of one of New Plum’s qualifying subsidiaries in the future, or who will own such amount as a result of participation in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, will not be eligible to participate in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The compensation committee may impose additional restrictions on eligibility from time to time as set forth in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Offering Periods; Enrollment. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees will be offered the option to purchase shares of New Plum Common Stock at a discount over a series of offering periods. Each offering period may itself consist of one or more purchase periods. No offering period may be longer than 27 months and each offering period will be determined by the compensation committee. New participants may enroll by submitting an enrollment form prior to the start of an offering period. Once an employee is enrolled, participation will be automatic in subsequent offering periods. An employee’s participation automatically ends upon a termination of employment for any reason, and an employee may withdraw from an offering period at any time without affecting his or her eligibility to participate in future offering periods.

Offerings; payroll deductions. Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, eligible employees will be offered the option to purchase shares of New Plum Common Stock at a discount over a series of offering periods by accumulating funds through payroll deductions of between percent ( %) and percent ( %) of the employee’s compensation. The purchase price for shares of New Plum Common Stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be percent ( %) of the lesser of the fair market value of New Plum Common Stock on (i) the first business day of the applicable offering period and (ii) the date of purchase. However, no participant may purchase more than shares on any one purchase date. The compensation committee, in its discretion, may set a lower maximum amount of shares which may be purchased. In addition, no participant will have the right to purchase our shares in an amount, when aggregated with purchase rights under all of New Plum’s employee stock purchase plans that are also in effect in the same calendar years, that has a fair market value of more than $ , determined as of the first day of the applicable offering period, for each calendar year in which that right is outstanding.

Subject to certain limitations, the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock a participant purchases in each offering period is determined by dividing the total amount of payroll deductions withheld from the participant’s compensation during the offering period by the purchase price. In general, if an employee ceases to be a participant in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the employee’s option to purchase shares of New Plum Common Stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will be automatically terminated, and the amount of the employee’s accumulated payroll deductions or other contributions will be refunded.

Adjustments upon recapitalization. If the number of outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock is changed by a stock dividend, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, subdivision, combination, reclassification, or similar change in our capital structure without consideration, then the compensation committee will proportionately adjust the number and class of New Plum Common Stock that is available under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the purchase price and number of shares any participant has elected to purchase under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as well as the maximum number of shares which may be issued to participants under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Change of control. If we experience a “corporate transaction” (as defined in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan), any offering period that commenced prior to the closing of the proposed corporate transaction will be shortened and terminated on a new purchase date. The new purchase date will be on or prior to the closing of the proposed corporate transaction, and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan will then terminate on the closing of the corporate transaction.

Transferability. No participant may assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of payroll deductions credited to his or her account or of any rights with regard to an election to purchase shares pursuant to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, other than by will or the laws of descent or distribution.

154

Table of Contents

Amendment; termination. The compensation committee may amend, suspend, or terminate the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at any time without stockholder consent, except as required by law and provided that stockholder approval will be required for any amendments that increase the number or change the types of shares that may be issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan or any change that would be considered the adoption of a new plan within the meaning of Section 423 of the Code. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan will continue until the earlier to occur of (i) termination of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan by the board of directors, (ii) issuance of all of the shares of New Plum Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or (iii) the tenth anniversary of the effective date of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

Federal Income Tax Information

The following is a summary of some of the material federal income tax consequences to participants in the Employee Stock Purchase Plan under current federal tax laws. This summary deals with the general tax principles that apply and is provided only for general information. Certain types of taxes, such as state and local income taxes, are not discussed. Tax laws are complex and subject to change and may vary depending on individual circumstances and from locality to locality. The summary does not discuss all aspects of income taxation that may be relevant to a participant in light of his or her personal investment circumstances. This summarized tax information is not tax advice.

The 423 Component of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and the right of participants to make purchases thereunder, is intended to qualify under the provisions of Section 423 of the Code. The Employee Stock Purchase Plan is not subject to any provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

Under the applicable Code provisions, no income derived from the 423 Component will be taxable to a participant until the sale or other disposition of the shares of New Plum Common Stock purchased under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares”). Upon such sale or disposition, the participant will generally be subject to tax in an amount that depends upon the participant’s holding period with respect to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares. If the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares are sold or disposed of more than two years from the first day of the offering period and more than one year from the date of purchase, or upon the participant’s death while owning the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income measured as the lesser of (1) the excess of the fair market value of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares at the time of such sale or disposition over the purchase price or (2) an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares as of the first day of the offering period over the purchase price. Any additional gain will be treated as long-term capital gain. If the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares held for the periods described above are sold and the sale price is less than the purchase price, there is no ordinary income and the participant has a long-term capital loss equal to the difference between the sale price and the purchase price. If shares are sold or otherwise disposed of before the expiration of the holding periods described above, other than following the participant’s death while owning the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares, the participant will recognize ordinary income generally measured as the excess of the fair market value of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares on the date the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares are purchased over the purchase price. Any additional gain or loss on such sale or disposition will be long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the participant’s holding period with respect to the Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares. New Plum is not entitled to a deduction for amounts taxed as ordinary income or capital gain to a participant except to the extent of ordinary income recognized upon a sale or disposition of shares prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above. New Plum will treat any transfer of record ownership of Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares as a disposition, unless it is notified to the contrary. In order to enable New Plum to learn of dispositions prior to the expiration of the holding periods described above and ascertain the amount of the deductions to which we are entitled, participating employees will be required to notify us in writing of the date and terms of any disposition of Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares.

New Plan Benefits

The amounts of future stock purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan are not determinable because, under the terms of the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, purchases are based upon elections made by participants. Future purchase prices are not determinable because they are based upon fair market value of shares of New Plum Common Stock.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE DOMESTICATION AND REDEMPTION

The following discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations (i) for U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders (each as defined below, and together, “Holders”) of public shares, public warrants and units (each, a “Plum Security”) of the Domestication, (ii) for Holders of public shares that elect to have the New Plum Common Stock they are entitled to receive redeemed for cash if the Business Combination is completed and (iii) for Holders of owning and disposing of New Plum Common Stock after the Domestication. This section applies only to Holders that hold their Plum Securities as “capital assets” for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). For purposes of this discussion, because the components of a Plum Unit are generally separable at the option of the Holder, the Holder of a Plum Unit generally should be treated, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as the owner of the underlying Public Share and Public Warrant components of the Plum Unit, and the discussion below with respect to actual Holders of Public Shares and Public Warrants also should apply to holders of Plum Units (as the deemed owners of the underlying Public Shares and Public Warrants that constitute the Plum Units). 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 Plum Units 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 Domestication and the Business Combination (including any redemption of New Plum Common Stock) and any alternative characterizations of Plum Units.

This discussion is based on provisions of the Code, its legislative history, final, temporary and proposed U.S. treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”), published rulings and court decisions, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein.

This discussion is general in nature and does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to any particular holder based on such holder’s individual circumstances or status. In particular, this discussion considers only holders that hold Public Shares or Public Warrants as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). In addition, this discussion does not address the alternative minimum tax, the Medicare tax on net investment income, or the U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders that are subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax law, such as:

• financial institutions or financial services entities;

• broker-dealers;

• persons that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules under Section 475 of the Code;

• tax-exempt entities;

• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

• insurance companies;

• regulated investment companies;

• real estate investment trusts;

• certain expatriates or former long-term residents of the United States;

• persons that acquired Public Shares or Public Warrants pursuant to an exercise of employee options, in connection with employee incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

• persons that hold Public Shares or Public Warrants as part of a straddle, constructive sale, hedging, Redemption or other integrated transaction;

• persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

• controlled foreign corporations;

• passive foreign investment companies;

160

Table of Contents

• persons required to accelerate the recognition of any item of gross income with respect to Public Shares or Public Warrants as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement;

• persons who actually or constructively own 5% or more of the shares of Plum by vote or value (except as specifically provided below);

• foreign corporations with respect to which there are one or more United States shareholders within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(1)(ii); or

• the Sponsor or its affiliates.

This discussion does not address any tax laws other than the U.S. federal income tax law, such as gift or estate tax laws, state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or, except as discussed herein, any tax reporting obligations of a holder of Public Shares or Public Warrants. Additionally, this discussion does not address the tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold Public Shares or Public Warrants through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Public Shares or Public Warrants, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and such partnership. Holders of Public Shares or Public Warrants are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the specific tax consequences to such holders. This discussion also assumes that any distribution made (or deemed made) on Public Shares or Public Warrants and any consideration received (or deemed received) by a holder in consideration for the sale or other disposition of Public Shares or Public Warrants will be in U.S. dollars. We have not sought, and do not intend to seek, a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. There can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with the discussion herein, or that a court would not sustain any challenge by the IRS in the event of litigation. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY, AND IS NOT INTENDED TO BE, AND SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED AS, LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE TO ANY PARTICULAR HOLDER. THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF PUBLIC SHARES AND PUBLIC WARRANTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY MATTERS NOT DISCUSSED HEREIN AND DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. WE URGE BENEFICIAL OWNERS OF PUBLIC SHARES AND PUBLIC WARRANTS TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE DOMESTICATION, EXERCISING REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND OWNING AND DISPOSING OF New Plum SHARES AND WARRANTS AS A RESULT OF ITS PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES THEREOF.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Public Shares or Public Warrants that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation) that is created or organized (or treated as created or organized) in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

• a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the trust’s administration and one or more U.S. persons are authorized to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in effect under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

A “Non-U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Public Shares or Public Warrants that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is an individual, corporation, estate or trust that is not a U.S. Holder.

U.S. Holders

Tax Consequences of the Domestication

It is intended that the Domestication qualify as an F Reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. However, we have not sought, nor do we intend to seek, nor is the closing of the Domestication or the Merger conditioned on the receipt of, any ruling from the IRS or any opinion of counsel with respect to the qualification of the Domestication as an F Reorganization. Consequently, no assurance can be given that the IRS will not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of those set forth below. Accordingly, each U.S. Holder of Plum Securities is urged to consult its tax advisor with respect to the particular tax consequence of the Domestication to such U.S. Holder.

In the case of a transaction, such as the Domestication, that qualifies as an F Reorganization, except as otherwise provided herein, including with respect to the PFIC rules and Section 367 of the Code (as discussed below), a U.S. Holder of Plum Securities should not recognize gain or loss upon the exchange of its Plum Securities solely for New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants pursuant to the Domestication.

A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in a share or a warrant of New Plum received in connection with the Domestication should generally be the same as its tax basis in the Public Share and Public Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor, increased by any amount included in the income of such U.S. Holder under Section 367(b) of the Code (as discussed below) and (ii) the holding period for a share or a warrant of New Plum received by a U.S. Holder should generally include such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Public Share or Public Warrant surrendered in exchange therefor.

If the Domestication fails to qualify as an F Reorganization under Section 368, a U.S. Holder of Plum Securities generally would recognize gain or loss with respect to its Plum Securities in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the fair market value of the corresponding New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants received in the Domestication and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Plum Securities surrendered. The U.S. Holder’s basis in its New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants would be equal to the fair market value of that stock on the date of the Domestication and such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants would begin on the day following the date of the Domestication. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Plum Securities (generally, Plum Securities purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to 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 Plum Securities.

PFIC Considerations

Even if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization, the Domestication may still be a taxable event to U.S. Holders of Public Shares or Public Warrants under the PFIC provisions of the Code, to the extent that Section 1291(f) of the Code applies, as described below. Because Plum is a blank check company with no current active operating business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, Plum believes that it may be a PFIC.

Effect of PFIC Rules on the Domestication. Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in Treasury Regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f) of the Code. Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, these Treasury Regulations may require taxable gain recognition by a Non-Electing Shareholder, as defined below, with respect to its exchange of Public Shares for New Plum Common Stock and Public Warrants for New Plum Warrants in the Domestication if Plum were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in respect thereof. Any such gain would generally be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the Domestication and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed below under “Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC.” The proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code should not apply to an Electing Shareholder, as defined below, with respect to its Public Shares for which a timely qualified election fund (“QEF”) election, a QEF election with a purging election, or mark-to-market (“MTM”) election is made, as each such election is described below. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code will be adopted.

162

Table of Contents

Definition and General Taxation of a PFIC. A non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC if either (a) at least seventy-five percent (75%) of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the shares by value, is passive income or (b) at least fifty percent (50%) of its assets in a taxable year, ordinarily 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 owns or is considered to own at least twenty-five percent (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 certain rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. The determination of whether a foreign corporation is a PFIC is made annually.

If Plum is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder of Public Shares or Public Warrants and, solely with respect to the Public Shares, the U.S. Holder did not make either (a) a timely QEF election for Plum’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, (b) a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or (c) a MTM election, all of which are discussed further below, such U.S. Holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to any gain recognized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Public Shares and any “excess distribution” made to the U.S. Holder. Excess distributions are 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 Public Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Public Shares.

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 the Public Shares or Public Warrants. The amount of gain 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 Plum’s first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income. The amount of gain allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder. 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 of the U.S. Holder. Any “all earnings and profits amount” included in income by a U.S. Holder as a result of the Domestication (discussed under “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Public Shares”) generally would be treated as gain subject to these rules.

In general, if Plum is determined to be a PFIC, a U.S. Holder may avoid the tax consequences described above with respect to its Public Shares (but not Public Warrants) by making a timely QEF election (or a QEF election along with a purging election), or a MTM election, all as described below.

Impact of PFIC Rules on Certain U.S. Holders. The impact of the PFIC rules on a U.S. Holder of Public Shares will depend on whether the U.S. Holder has made a timely and effective election to treat Plum as a QEF under Section 1295 of the Code, for Plum’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, the U.S. Holder made a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or if the U.S. Holder made a MTM election, all as discussed below. A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that made either a timely and effective QEF election, a QEF election along with a purging election, or a MTM election is hereinafter referred to as an “Electing Shareholder.” A U.S. Holder of a PFIC that is not an Electing Shareholder is hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Electing Shareholder.”

The QEF election is made on a shareholder-by-shareholder basis and, once made, can be revoked only with the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder generally makes a QEF election by attaching a completed IRS Form 8621 (Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund), including the information provided in a “PFIC Annual Information Statement,” to a timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the tax year to which the election relates. Retroactive QEF elections generally may be made only by filing a protective statement with such return and if certain other conditions are met or with the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the availability and tax consequences of a retroactive QEF election under their particular circumstances.

A U.S. Holder’s ability to make a QEF election with respect to its Public Shares is contingent upon, among other things, the provision by Plum of certain information that would enable the U.S. Holder to make and maintain a QEF election. Upon written request, Plum will endeavor to provide to a U.S. Holder such information as the IRS may require, including a PFIC Annual Information Statement, in order to enable the U.S. Holder to make

163

Table of Contents

and maintain a QEF election, but there can be no assurance that Plum will timely provide such information that is required to make and maintain the QEF election. A U.S. Holder is not able to make a QEF election with respect to Public Warrants. An Electing Shareholder making a valid and timely QEF election generally would not be subject to the adverse PFIC rules discussed above with respect to their Public Shares. As a result, such a U.S. Holder generally should not recognize gain or loss as a result of the Domestication except to the extent described under “— Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Public Shares” and subject to the discussion above under “— Tax Consequences of the Domestication to U.S. Holders of Public Shares,” but rather would include annually in gross income its pro rata share of the ordinary earnings and net capital gain of Plum, whether or not such amounts are actually distributed.

As indicated above, if a U.S. Holder of Public Shares has not made a timely and effective QEF election with respect to Plum’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, such U.S. Holder generally may nonetheless qualify as an Electing Shareholder by filing on a timely filed U.S. income tax return (including extensions) a QEF election and a purging election to recognize under the rules of Section 1291 of the Code any gain that it would otherwise recognize if the U.S. Holder sold its Public Shares for their fair market value on the “qualification date.” The qualification date is the first day of Plum’s tax year in which Plum qualifies as a QEF with respect to such U.S. Holder. The purging election can only be made if such U.S. Holder held Public Shares on the qualification date. The gain recognized by the purging election will be subject to the special tax and interest charge rules treating the gain as an excess distribution, as described above. As a result of the purging election, the U.S. Holder will increase the adjusted tax basis in its Public Shares by the amount of the gain recognized and will also have a new holding period in the Public Shares for purposes of the PFIC rules.

Alternatively, if a U.S. Holder, at the close of its taxable year, owns shares in a PFIC that are treated as marketable shares, the U.S. Holder may make a MTM election with respect to such shares for such taxable year. If the U.S. Holder makes a valid MTM election for the first taxable year of the U.S. Holder in which the U.S. Holder holds (or is deemed to hold) Public Shares and for which Plum is determined to be a PFIC, such holder will not be subject to the PFIC rules described above in respect to its Public Shares. Instead, the U.S. Holder will include as ordinary income each year the excess, if any, of the fair market value of its Public Shares at the end of its taxable year over the adjusted basis in its Public Shares. The U.S. Holder also will be allowed to take an ordinary loss in respect of the excess, if any, of the adjusted basis of its Public Shares over the fair market value of its Public 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 Public 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 the Public Shares will be treated as ordinary income. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of Plum purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them. The MTM election is available only for shares that are regularly traded on a national securities exchange that is registered with the SEC, including Nasdaq, or on a foreign exchange or market that the IRS determines has rules sufficient to ensure that the market price represents a legitimate and sound fair market value. No assurance can be given that the Public Shares are considered to be regularly traded 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 to their Public Shares. However, if the MTM election is made by a Non-Electing Shareholder after the beginning of the holding period for the PFIC stock, then the Section 1291 rules will apply to certain dispositions of, distributions on and other amounts taxable with respect to Public Shares. A MTM election is not available with respect to Public Warrants. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the availability and tax consequences of a MTM election in respect to Public Shares under their particular circumstances.

The rules dealing with PFICs and with the timely QEF election, the QEF election with a purging election, and the MTM election are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares is urged to consult its tax advisor concerning the application of the PFIC rules to such securities under such holder’s particular circumstances.

Effects of Section 367 to U.S. Holders of Public Shares

In addition to the PFIC rules discussed above, Section 367 of the Code applies to certain non-recognition transactions involving foreign corporations, including a domestication of a foreign corporation in a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Section 367 of the Code imposes U.S. federal income tax on certain United States persons in connection with transactions that would otherwise be tax-free. Section 367(b) of the Code will generally apply to U.S. Holders of Public Shares on the date of the Domestication.

U.S. Holders Who Own 10 Percent or More of the Voting Power or Value of Plum. A U.S. Holder who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Ordinary Shares entitled to vote or 10% or more of the total value of all classes of Ordinary Shares (a “10% U.S. Shareholder”) of Plum must include in income as a dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2(d)) attributable to the Public Shares it directly owns within the meaning of Treasury Regulations under Section 367(b) of the Code. A U.S. Holder’s ownership of Warrants will be taken into account in determining whether such U.S. Holder owns ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Ordinary Shares or ten percent (10%) or more of the total value of all classes of Ordinary Shares of Plum. Complex attribution rules apply in determining whether a U.S. Holder owns ten percent (10%) or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of Ordinary Shares entitled to vote or ten percent (10%) or more of the total value of all classes of Ordinary Shares and all U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors with respect to these attribution rules.

A 10% U.S. Shareholder’s “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Public Shares is the net positive earnings and profits of Plum attributable to its shares (as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2) but without regard to any gain that would be realized on a sale or exchange of such shares. Treasury Regulations under Section 367 provide that the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to a shareholder’s stock is determined according to the principles of Section 1248 of the Code. In general, Section 1248 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder provide that the amount of earnings and profits attributable to a block of stock (as defined in Treasury Regulations under Section 1248 of the Code) in a foreign corporation is the ratably allocated portion of the foreign corporation’s earnings and profits generated during the period the shareholder held the block of stock.

Plum does not expect to have significant cumulative net earnings and profits on the date of the Domestication. If Plum does not have positive cumulative net earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, then a 10% U.S. Shareholder should not be required to include in gross income an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Public Shares. However, the determination of earnings and profits is a complex determination and may be impacted by numerous factors. It is possible that the amount of Plum’s cumulative net earnings and profits could be positive through the date of the Domestication in which case a 10% U.S. Shareholder would be required to include its “all earnings and profits amount” in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-2 as a result of the Domestication. Any such U.S. Holder that is a corporation may, under certain circumstances, effectively be exempt from taxation on a portion or all of the deemed dividend pursuant to Section 245A of the Code.

U.S. Holders Whose Public Shares Have a Fair Market Value of $50,000 or More and Who Own Less than Ten Percent (10%) of the Voting Power of Plum and Less than Ten Percent (10%) of the Total Value of Plum. A U.S. Holder whose Public Shares have a fair market value of $50,000 or more on the date of Domestication and who beneficially owns (directly, indirectly or constructively) less than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and less than ten percent (10%) of the total value of all classes of Ordinary Shares of Plum will recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to the Domestication unless such U.S. Holder elects to recognize the “all earnings and profits” amount attributable to such holder as described below.

Unless such a U.S. Holder makes the “all earnings and profits” election as described below, such holder generally must recognize gain (but not loss) with respect to New Plum Common Stock received in the Domestication in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of New Plum Common Stock received over the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Public Shares deemed surrendered in the Domestication. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of Plum purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

As an alternative to recognizing any gain as described in the preceding paragraph, such a U.S. Holder may elect to include in income as a deemed dividend the “all earnings and profits amount” attributable to its Public Shares under Section 367(b) of the Code. There are, however, a number of specific conditions for making this election. This election must comply with applicable Treasury Regulations and generally must include, among other things:

(i) a statement that the Domestication is a Section 367(b) exchange;

(ii) a complete description of the Domestication;

(iii) a description of any stock, securities or other consideration transferred or received in the Domestication;

165

Table of Contents

(iv) a statement describing the amounts required to be taken into account for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

(v) a statement that the U.S. Holder is making the election and that includes (A) a copy of the information that the U.S. Holder received from Plum establishing and substantiating the “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to the U.S. Holder’s Public Shares, and (B) a representation that the U.S. Holder has notified Plum (or New Plum) that the U.S. Holder is making the election; and

(vi) certain other information required to be furnished with the U.S. Holder’s tax return or otherwise furnished pursuant to the Code or the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

In addition, the election must be attached by an electing U.S. Holder to such holder’s timely filed U.S. federal income tax return for the taxable year in which the Domestication occurs, and the U.S. Holder must send notice of making the election to Plum or New Plum no later than the date such tax return is filed. In connection with this election, Plum may in its discretion provide each U.S. Holder eligible to make such an election with information regarding Plum’s earnings and profits upon written request.

Plum does not expect to have significant cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication. If that proves to be the case, U.S. Holders who make this election should generally not have an income inclusion under Section 367(b) of the Code provided that the U.S. Holder properly executes the election and complies with the applicable notice requirements. However, as noted above, if it were determined that Plum has positive cumulative earnings and profits through the date of the Domestication, a U.S. Holder that makes the election described herein could have an “all earnings and profits amount” with respect to its Public Shares, and thus could be required to include that amount in income as a deemed dividend under Treasury Regulation Section 1.367(b)-3(b)(3) as a result of the Domestication.

U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult a tax advisor regarding the consequences of making an election and the appropriate filing requirements with respect to an election.

U.S. Holders Whose Public Shares Have a Fair Market Value of Less Than $50,000 and Who Own Less than Ten Percent (10%) of the Voting Power of Plum and Less than Ten Percent (10%) of the Total Value of Plum. A U.S. Holder whose Public Shares have a fair market value of less than $50,000 on the date of Domestication, and who on the date of the Domestication owns (actually and constructively) less than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of Ordinary Shares entitled to vote and less than ten percent (10%) of the total value of all classes of Ordinary Shares of Plum, should not be required to recognize any gain or loss under Section 367 of the Code in connection with the Domestication and generally should not be required to include any part of the “all earnings and profits amount” in income.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS OF PUBLIC SHARES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE EFFECT OF SECTION 367 OF THE CODE TO THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights

For purposes of this discussion, a “Converting U.S. Holder” is a U.S. Holder that elects to exercise Redemption rights in respect of all or a portion of its Public Shares.

Because the Domestication will occur prior to the redemption of U.S. Holders that exercise redemption rights, U.S. Holders exercising redemption rights, although not free from doubt, will likely be deemed to have exchanged their Public Shares for New Plum Common Stock and therefore subject to the potential tax consequences of Section 367 of the Code and the PFIC rules as a result of the Domestication (discussed further above) and then to the tax consequences of the redemption discussed below.

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Converting U.S. Holder will depend on whether the Redemption qualifies as a sale of New Plum Common Stock deemed received in the Domestication under Section 302 of the Code or is treated as a distribution under Section 301 of the Code with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder. If the Redemption qualifies as a sale of such U.S. Holder’s New Plum Common Stock deemed received, such U.S. Holder will generally recognize capital gain or capital loss equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the New Plum Common Stock deemed received and redeemed. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Plum Common Stock will generally be equal to the

166

Table of Contents

amount such U.S. Holder paid for such Public Shares deemed exchanged for such New Plum Common Stock. This gain or loss should generally be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period of such New Plum Common Stock is more than one year at the time of the Redemption, including the holding period of such Public Shares deemed exchanged for such New Plum Common Stock. However, it is possible that because of the Redemption rights associated with the Public Shares and New Plum Common Stock, the holding period of such shares may not be considered to begin until the date of such Redemption (and, thus, it is possible that long-term capital gain or loss treatment may not apply). The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. Shareholders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, Public Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

The Redemption of Public Shares generally will qualify as a sale if such Redemption (i) is “substantially disproportionate,” (ii) results in a “complete termination” of such U.S. Holder’s interest in Plum or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder. For purposes of such tests with respect to a Converting U.S. Holder, that Converting U.S. Holder may be deemed to own not only shares actually owned, but also constructively owned, which in some cases may include shares such Converting U.S. Holder may acquire pursuant to options and shares owned by certain family members, certain estates and trusts of which the Converting U.S. Holder is a beneficiary and certain corporations and partnerships.

Generally, the Redemption will be “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the Converting U.S. Holder if (i) the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of the outstanding voting shares (including all classes that carry voting rights) of Plum is reduced immediately after the Redemption to less than 80% of the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage interest (including constructive ownership) in such shares immediately before the Redemption; (ii) the Converting U.S. Holder’s percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) of the outstanding Plum shares (both voting and nonvoting) immediately after the Redemption is reduced to less than 80% of such percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) immediately before the Redemption; and (iii) the Converting U.S. Holder owns (including constructive ownership), immediately after the Redemption, less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of Plum entitled to vote. There will be a “complete termination” of such Converting U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Plum shares actually and constructively owned by such Converting U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the Plum shares actually owned by such Converting U.S. Holder are redeemed and such Converting U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of the Plum shares owned by certain family members and such Converting U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other Plum shares and otherwise complies with specific conditions. Whether the Redemption will be considered “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to a Converting U.S. Holder will depend upon the particular circumstances of that Converting U.S. Holder. However, the Redemption generally must result in a meaningful reduction in the Converting U.S. Holder’s actual or constructive percentage ownership of Plum. Whether the Redemption will result in a “meaningful reduction” in such Converting U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest will depend on the particular facts and circumstances applicable to it. If the Converting U.S. Holder’s relative interest in Plum is a small minority interest and the shareholder exercises no control over corporate affairs, taking into account the effect of Redemptions by other shareholders, and its percentage ownership (including constructive ownership) is reduced as a result of the Redemption, such Converting U.S. Holder may be regarded as having a meaningful reduction in its interest pursuant to a published ruling in which the IRS indicated 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 is urged to consult with its tax advisors as to the tax consequences to it of any Redemption of its Public Shares.

If none of the tests described above applies, the consideration paid to the Converting U.S. Holder will generally be treated as dividend income for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent of Plum’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Any distribution in excess of such earnings and profits will reduce the Converting U.S. Holder’s basis in the Public Shares (but not below zero) and any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Public Shares. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the Converting U.S. Holder in the Public Shares redeemed will generally be added to the Converting U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining Public Shares, or, if it has none, to the Converting U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Warrants or possibly in other Plum shares constructively owned by such U.S. Holder. U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of Public Shares (generally, shares of Plum purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) are urged to consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Tax Consequences for Non-U. S. Holders of Owning and Disposing of New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants

Distributions on New Plum Common Stock. A U.S. Holder will generally be required to include in gross income as U.S. source dividend income the amount of any distribution of cash or other property paid on New Plum Common Stock to the extent the distribution is paid out of New Plum’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of New Plum’s 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 its shares of New Plum Common Stock on a per-share basis. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale of New Plum Common Stock and will be treated as described below under the section entitled “Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants.”

Dividends received by a U.S. Holder that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for a dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions, and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. Holder will generally constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at preferential long-term capital gains rates.

Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of New Plum Common Stock. A U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount of cash received in the redemption and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the New Plum Common Stock redeemed. 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 New Plum Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. As described above, the holding period for the New Plum Common Stock should include the holding period for the corresponding Public Shares if the Domestication qualifies as an F Reorganization. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders generally will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. However, it is unclear whether the redemption rights included in the public shares suspends the running of the holding period while the U.S. Holder holds such public shares.

U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of New Plum Common Stock (including as a result of holding different blocks of public shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

Non-U.S. Holders

Effects of the Domestication to Non-U.S. Holders

The Domestication is not expected to result in any U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders of Public Shares.

Tax Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The U.S. federal income tax consequences to a Non-U.S. Holder of Public Shares that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash from the Trust Account in exchange for all or a portion of its New Plum Common Stock deemed received in the Domestication will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the New Plum Common Stock redeemed, as described above under “U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights.” If such a redemption qualifies as a sale of New Plum Common Stock, the U.S. federal income tax consequences to the Non-U.S. Holder will be as described below under “— Gain on Disposition of New Plum Common Stock.” If such a redemption does not qualify as a sale of New Plum Common Stock, the Non-U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of which are described below under “— Distributions on New Plum Common Stock.”

168

Table of Contents

Because it may not be certain at the time a Non-U.S. Holder is redeemed whether such Non-U.S. Holder’s redemption will be treated as a sale of the New Plum Common Stock redeemed or a corporate distribution, and because such determination will depend in part on a Non-U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, the applicable withholding agent may not be able to determine whether (or to what extent) a Non-U.S. Holder is treated as receiving a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In addition, as the redemption will take place after the Domestication, any dividend resulting from the redemption will be treated as U.S. source. Therefore, the applicable withholding agent may withhold U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gross amount of any consideration paid to a Non-U.S. Holder in redemption of such Non-U.S. Holder’s New Plum Common Stock, unless (i) the applicable withholding agent has established special procedures allowing Non-U.S. Holders to certify that they are exempt from such withholding tax and (ii) such Non-U.S. Holders are able to certify that they meet the requirements of such exemption (e.g., because such Non-U.S. Holders are not treated as receiving a dividend under the Section 302 of the Code tests described above under the section entitled “U.S. Holders — Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders That Elect to Exercise Redemption Rights”). However, there can be no assurance that any applicable withholding agent will establish such special certification procedures. If an applicable withholding agent withholds excess amounts from the amount payable to a Non-U.S. Holder, such Non-U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any such excess amounts by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of the foregoing rules in light of their particular facts and circumstances and any applicable procedures or certification requirements.

Tax Consequences for Non-U. S. Holders of Owning and Disposing of New Plum Common Stock

Distributions on New Plum Common Stock. Distributions of cash or property to a Non-U.S. Holder in respect of New Plum Common Stock received in the Domestication will generally constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from New Plum’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. If a distribution exceeds New Plum’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will generally be treated first as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its New Plum Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “— Gain on Disposition of New Plum Common Stock.”

Dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of New Plum Common Stock generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate as described below. However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the Non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder) are not subject to such withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied (generally by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends are subject to United States federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a United States person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder of New Plum Common Stock who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to complete the applicable IRS Form W-8 and certify under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a United States person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if such Non-U.S. Holder’s New Plum Common Stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable United States Treasury Regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain Non-U.S. Holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.

A Non-U.S. Holder of New Plum Common Stock eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to the benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

169

Table of Contents

Gain on Disposition of New Plum Common Stock. Subject to the below discussion of backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (as defined below), any gain realized by a Non-U.S. Holder on the taxable disposition of New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

• the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the Non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder);

• the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more in the taxable year of the disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or

• New Plum is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for such securities disposed of, and either (A) New Plum Common Stock is not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such Non-U.S. Holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period more than five percent (5%) of outstanding New Plum Common Stock. There can be no assurance that New Plum Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

A non-corporate Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet point immediately above will be subject to tax on the net gain derived from the sale of New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants under regular U.S. federal income tax rates. An individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a flat 30% tax on the gain derived from the sale of New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants, which may be offset by certain United States source capital losses, even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States, provided that the individual has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses. If a Non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation falls under the first bullet point immediately above, it will be subject to tax on its net gain in the same manner as if it were a United States person as defined under the Code and, in addition, may be subject to the “branch profits tax” equal to 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) of its effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments.

If the last bullet point immediately above applies to a Non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such Non-U.S. Holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants generally will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such New Plum Common Stock or New Plum Warrants from a Non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount realized upon such disposition. New Plum will generally be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. New Plum does not expect to be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change, and no assurance can be provided as to whether New Plum is or will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a Non-U.S. Holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

New Plum generally must report annually to the IRS and to each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to such holder and the tax withheld with respect to such dividends, regardless of whether withholding was required. Copies of the information returns reporting such dividends and withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

A Non-U.S. Holder generally will be subject to backup withholding for dividends paid to such holder unless such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.

170

Table of Contents

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding generally will apply to the proceeds of a sale of New Plum Common Stock within the United States or conducted through certain United States-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a Non-U.S. Holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a United States person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.

Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, securities (including New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends in respect of New Plum Common Stock. While withholding under FATCA generally would also apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of securities (including New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants), proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants.

Description of the Transactions

Business Combination

On November 27, 2023, Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”), Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), and Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

Subject to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that (a) on the day of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of continuation from a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (the “Merger”).

Table of Contents

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each outstanding share of Veea Common Stock and each outstanding share of Veea Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities and treasury shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Veea Option will be converted into an option to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Veea Option, the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to such Veea Option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise price per share of Veea Common Stock of such Veea Option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, divided by (b) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each other Veea Convertible Security outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will cease to represent a right to acquire Veea Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum, and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire shares of New Plum Common Stock, on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to the Veea Convertible Security immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Veea Convertible Security, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the convertible securities. The number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable pursuant to the convertible security will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to the Veea Convertible Security on an as-converted to shares of Veea Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by (i) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, or (ii) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per shares of New Plum Common Stock will be determined by (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (x) in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, or (y) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio.

Any Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) will be converted into shares of New Plum Common Stock at the Closing at a price of $10.00 per share of New Plum Common Stock, which shares are not considered Existing Veea Shares and will be in addition to the shares of New Plum Common Stock issued to holders of Existing Veea Shares.

Each Dissenting Share will not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL.

Earnout

The Business Combination Agreement provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period; and

173

Table of Contents

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period.

If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Plum Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Plum and Veea entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to (a) vote all of its Plum Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals relating to the Business Combination; (b) refrain from effecting a Plum Shareholder Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (c) exercise the option to extend the period of time Plum is afforded under its governing documents to consummate a business combination, (d) waive certain anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to its Plum Ordinary Shares which had been granted in connection with Plum’s Initial Public Offering; (e) forfeit its Plum founder shares, at the rate of $10.00 per share, to the extent certain of its expenses exceed $2.5 million or it incurs certain other expenses; and (f) subject 1,726,994 of its Plum founder shares to forfeiture if the conditions applicable to the Earnout Shares are not satisfied during the Earnout Period (on the same terms proportionately as the Earnout Shares).

New Financing

The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50.

Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the approval by the Plum shareholders of the Condition Precedent Proposals being obtained; (ii) the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act relating to the Business Combination having expired or been terminated; (iii) the completion of the offer to redeem the Class A ordinary shares of Plum; (iv) the New Plum Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Business Combination having been approved for listing on Nasdaq; and (v) Plum having at least $5,000,001 of net tangible assets immediately after the Closing. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by the applicable parties to the Business Combination Agreement, if these conditions are not satisfied the Business Combination Agreement could terminate and the Business Combination may not be consummated. For further details, see “Business Combination Proposal — Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and Veea will be the accounting “acquirer” This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:

• Veea’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of New Plum post Business Combination;

• effective upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of seven (7) directors, including five (5) directors designated by Veea, one (1) director designated by Plum and one (1) director mutually agreed upon by Plum and Veea;

174

Table of Contents

• Veea’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New Plum; and

• Veea’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Plum.

Another determining factor was that Plum does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, within the scope of ASC 805. The net assets of Plum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of shares issued to Plum over the fair value of Plum’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

Plum and Veea have elected to provide the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information under two different Redemption scenarios of Plum Public Shares into cash as more fully described below:

• Scenario 1 — Assuming No Additional Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

• Scenario 2 — Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, Plum public stockholders holding 3,255,593 Plum Class A ordinary shares will exercise their Redemption rights for $35.79 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum’s Public Shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

The following table sets out share ownership of New Plum on a Pro Forma basis assuming the No Additional Redemptions Scenario and the Maximum Redemptions Scenario:

Pro Forma Ownership |  | No Additional Redemptions |  | Maximum Redemptions
Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding |  | Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding
Veea Stockholders(1) |  | 16,568,287 |  | 54.1 | % |  | 16,568,287 |  | 60.5 | %
NLabs Debt conversion shareholders(2) |  | 1,485,151 |  | 4.8 | % |  | 1,485,151 |  | 5.4 | %
Plum Public Shareholders(3) |  | 3,255,593 |  | 10.6 | % |  | — |  | 0.0 | %
Sponsor’s Founder Shares(4) |  | 6,253,415 |  | 20.4 | % |  | 6,253,415 |  | 22.8 | %
Series A-2 New Financing Securities investors(5) |  | 3,089,056 |  | 10.1 | % |  | 3,089,056 |  | 11.3 | %
Total shares outstanding |  | 30,651,502 |  | 100 | % |  | 27,395,909 |  | 100 | %

____________

(1) Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. This amount excludes 1,801,013 in New Plum shares as a result of 764,065 Common Stock Warrants, 236,309 Series A-1 Warrants and 800,639 vested options. All of which are currently in the money and exercisable.

(2) Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

(3) In the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario, assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. In the “Maximum Redemptions” scenario, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to

redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

(4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events.

(5) Reflects the receipt of approximately $18.2 million in cash and approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities in which Veea issued shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has raised approximately $18.2 million in cash and settled approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration from the sale of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock (including the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations), as such for Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

The following unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, are based on the historical financial statements of Plum and Veea. The unaudited Pro Forma adjustments are based on information currently available, assumptions, and estimates underlying the Pro Forma adjustments and are described in the accompanying notes. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions used to present the accompanying unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of the Proposed Transactions

On November 27, 2023, Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“Plum”), Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum (“Merger Sub”), and Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Veea”), entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”).

Subject to its terms and conditions, the Business Combination Agreement provides that (a) on the day of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination (the “Closing”), Plum will change its jurisdiction of incorporation by transferring by way of continuation from a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares and domesticating as a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Domestication”), and (b) following the Domestication, Merger Sub will merge with and into Veea, with Veea surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Plum (the “Merger”).

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, at Closing, each outstanding share of Veea Common Stock and each outstanding share of Veea Preferred Stock, on an as-converted to Veea Common Stock basis, but excluding Dissenting Shares, New Financing Securities and treasury shares, will be cancelled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock determined in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement based on a pre-money equity value of Veea of $180,000,000, plus the aggregate exercise prices of Veea’s in-the-money, vested convertible securities, divided by $10.00.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each Veea Option will be converted into an option to acquire, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Veea Option, the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to such Veea Option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (a) the exercise price per share of Veea Common Stock of such option as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, divided by (b) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each other Veea Convertible Security outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger will cease to represent a right to acquire Veea Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum, and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire shares of New Plum Common Stock, on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to the Veea Convertible Security immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Veea Convertible Security, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the convertible securities. The number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable pursuant to the convertible security will be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Veea Common Stock subject to the Veea Convertible Security on an as-converted to shares of Veea Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger by (i) the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, or (ii) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio. The exercise price per share of New Plum Common Stock will be determined by (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) (x) in the case of securities convertible into Veea Capital Stock other than New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio, or (y) in the case of New Financing Securities or securities convertible into New Financing Securities, the exercise price per share of Veea Capital Stock of such Veea Convertible Security divided by the New Veea Shareholder Exchange Ratio.

Any Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) (“NLabs Debt”) will be converted into shares of New Plum Common Stock at the Closing at a price of $10.00 per share of New Plum Common Stock, which shares are not considered Existing Veea Shares and will be in addition to the shares of New Plum Common Stock issued to holders of Existing Veea Shares.

180

Table of Contents

Each Dissenting Share will not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Earnout

The Business Combination Agreement provides holders of Existing Veea Shares with a contingent right to receive Earnout Consideration consisting of up to 4,500,000 additional shares of New Plum Common Stock, subject to the following contingencies:

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the ten years following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $12.50 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period; and

• 50% of the Earnout Consideration if, at any time during the Earnout Period, the volume-weighted average trading sale price of one share of New Plum Common Stock is greater than or equal to $15.00 per share for any twenty (20) trading-days within any thirty (30) trading-day period.

If there is a Change of Control Transaction during the Earnout Period, (i) to the extent that the implied price per share of New Plum Common Stock in such transaction is above the applicable stock price targets, the vesting of such Earnout Consideration will accelerate and the Earnout Consideration will be issuable upon the closing of such transaction, and (ii) the contingent obligations for any remaining Earnout Consideration will be rolled over to the resulting company from such transaction, unless after such transaction, the resulting company from such transaction is no longer publicly listed on Nasdaq or another nationally-recognized securities exchange, in which case, any unvested Earnout Consideration will immediately vest.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, Plum Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), Plum and Veea entered into a Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed, among other things, to (a) vote all of its Plum Ordinary Shares in favor of the proposals relating to the Business Combination; (b) refrain from effecting a Plum Shareholder Redemption (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement); (c) exercise the option to extend the period of time Plum is afforded under its governing documents to consummate a business combination, (d) waive certain anti-dilution and conversion rights with respect to its Plum Ordinary Shares which had been granted in connection with Plum’s Initial Public Offering; (e) forfeit its Plum founder shares, at the rate of $10.00 per share, to the extent certain of its expenses exceed $2.5 million or it incurs certain other expenses; and (f) subject 1,726,994 of its Plum founder shares to forfeiture if the conditions applicable to the Earnout Shares are not satisfied during the Earnout Period (on the same terms proportionately as the Earnout Shares).

New Financing

The Business Combination Agreement also contemplates that Veea may sell New Financing Securities generating proceeds of up to $70,000,000 (or more with Plum’s consent) between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50. As of December 31, 2023 a total of approximately $23 million in consideration was received. As of December 31, 2023, approximately $18.2 million in cash has been raised under the New Financing Securities, and approximately $3 million of debt was converted and approximately $2 million of other obligations were settled via the issuance of Series A-2 Preferred Shares.

For a description of the Business Combination and certain agreements executed in connection therewith, see “Summary of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus — The Business Combination” and “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.”

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies

The unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined 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 financial information as being indicative of the historical results that

181

Table of Contents

would have been achieved had the companies always been combined or the future results that Veea will experience. Veea and Plum did not have any historical relationship prior to the Business Combination. Accordingly, no Pro Forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

The following unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined 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 replaces the existing Pro Forma adjustment criteria with simplified 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. Veea and Plum have elected not to present any estimates related to potential synergies and other transaction effects that are reasonably expected to occur or have already occurred and will only be presenting Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information.

Plum does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55 as it is an empty listed shell holding only cash raised as part of its original equity issuance. As a result, the Business Combination does not qualify as a “business combination” within the meaning of ASC 805, Business Combinations; rather, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination for more details.

The historical financial statements of Veea have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The historical financial statements of Plum have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information reflects U.S. GAAP, the basis of accounting used by Veea.

Plum has elected to provide the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information under two different Redemption scenarios of Plum’s Public Shares into cash as more fully described below:

• Scenario 1 — Assuming No Additional Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination.

• Scenario 2 — Assuming Maximum Redemptions: This presentation assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, Plum public stockholders holding 3,255,593 Plum Class A ordinary shares will exercise their Redemption rights for $35.79 million upon consummation of the Business Combination at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum Public Shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

The following summarizes the Pro Forma shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the Business Combination, presented under the two scenarios listed above:

|  | No Additional Redemptions |  | Maximum Redemptions
Pro Forma Ownership |  | Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding |  | Number of Shares |  | Percent Outstanding
Veea Stockholders(1) |  | 16,568,287 |  | 54.1 | % |  | 16,568,287 |  | 60.5 | %
NLabs Debt conversion shareholders(2) |  | 1,485,151 |  | 4.8 | % |  | 1,485,151 |  | 5.4 | %
Plum Public Shareholders(3) |  | 3,255,593 |  | 10.6 | % |  | — |  | 0.0 | %
Sponsor’s founder shares(4) |  | 6,253,415 |  | 20.4 | % |  | 6,253,415 |  | 22.8 | %
Series A-2 New Financing Securities investors(5) |  | 3,089,056 |  | 10.1 | % |  | 3,089,056 |  | 11.3 | %
Total shares outstanding |  | 30,651,502 |  | 100 | % |  | 27,395,909 |  | 100 | %

____________

(1) Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. This amount excludes 1,801,013 in New Plum shares as a result of 764,065 Common Stock Warrants, 236,309 Series A-1 Warrants and 800,639 vested options. All of which are currently in the money and exercisable.

Table of Contents

(2) Reflect the conversion of Veea indebtedness owed to Allen Salmasi or his affiliates (or their respective assignees) into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

(3) In the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario, assumes that, after the Extension Redemptions, no additional public stockholders of Plum exercise Redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination. In the “Maximum Redemptions” scenario, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “No Additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

(4) Excludes 1,726,994 Class A founder shares of the Sponsor in reserve and 4,500,000 Earnout Shares issuable to holders of Existing Veea Shares upon satisfaction of the Earnout Triggering Events.

(5) Reflects the receipt of approximately $18.2 million in cash and approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations as other consideration received from the sale of New Financing Securities in which Veea issued shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock and the holders of such New Financing Securities will receive shares of New Plum Common Stock in the aggregate equal to the amount raised through the issuance of the New Financing Securities divided by $7.50 per share, which is a 25% discount to the valuation in the Business Combination Agreement. As of December 31, 2023, Veea has raised approximately $18.2 million in cash and settled approximately $5 million in the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations, for total consideration of approximately $23 million. As such, for Pro Forma purposes this will result in the issuance of 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

The Pro Forma adjustments do not have an income tax effect as they are either (i) incurred by legal entities that are not subject to a corporate income tax, or (ii) permanently non-deductible or non-taxable based on the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of the post-combination company. Management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination

The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Plum will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes, and Veea will be the accounting “acquirer” This determination was primarily based on the assumption that:

• Veea’s current shareholders will hold a majority of the voting power of New Plum post Business Combination;

• effective upon the Business Combination, the post-combination Board will consist of seven (7) directors, including five (5) directors designated by Veea, one (1) director designated by Plum and one (1) director mutually agreed upon by Plum and Veea;

• Veea’s operations will substantially comprise the ongoing operations of New Plum;

• Veea’s senior management will comprise the senior management of New Plum.

Another determining factor was that Plum does not meet the definition of a “business” pursuant to ASC 805-10-55, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and thus, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, within the scope of ASC 805. The net assets of Plum will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Any excess of the fair value of shares issued to Plum over the fair value of Plum’s identifiable net assets acquired represents compensation for the service of a stock exchange listing for its shares and is expensed as incurred.

Note 4 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023

The Pro Forma adjustments to the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, are as follows:

A. Reflects the liquidation and reclassification of $35.79 million of funds held in the Trust Account to cash that becomes available following the Business Combination.

B. Represents preliminary estimated transaction costs expected to be incurred by Plum and Veea of approximately $8.16 million for legal, accounting, and due diligence fees incurred as part of the Business Combination.

For the Plum transaction costs of $5.55 million expected to be incurred, $0.10 million have been paid and $0.10 million included in accounts payable as of the Pro Forma balance sheet date. The $5.35 million is reflected as an adjustment to accumulated losses.

For the Veea transaction costs of $2.61 million, $0.04 million of costs have been accrued and $0.74 million have been paid as of the balance sheet date, and $1.84 million is included as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

In scenario 2, the Maximum Redemptions scenario listed above, the Company intends to draw upon its current revolving line of credit for $5.00 million and approximately $1.00 million will remain in accounts payable at closing.

C. Represents the exchange of outstanding Veea shares into shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 per share upon the Business Combination.

D. Represents the elimination of Plum’s historical accumulated losses after recording the transaction costs to be incurred by Plum as described in (B) above.

E. In Scenario 1, reflects the “no additional Redemptions” scenario. In Scenario 2, reflects the maximum Redemption of 3,255,593 Plum shares for aggregate Redemption payments of $35.79 million at a Redemption price of approximately $10.99 per share. The maximum Redemption amount reflects the maximum number of the Plum shares that can be redeemed without violating the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the requirement to maintain a minimum net tangible asset value of at least $5,000,001 following consummation of the Business Combination after giving effect to the payments to redeeming stockholders and proceeds from the sale of the New Financing Securities. This scenario includes all adjustments contained in the “no additional Redemptions” scenario and presents additional adjustments to reflect the effect of the maximum Redemptions.

F. Reflect the conversion of the NLabs Debt into 1,485,151 shares of New Plum Common Stock at par value of $0.0001 as prescribed in the Business Combination Agreement for the settlement of $12.60 million in related party debt principal and $2.25 million in related interest.

G. Reflects the repayment of related party indebtedness for cash at the closing of the Business Combination as prescribed by the related financing agreements under Plum in settlement of $1.09 million in Convertible Notes — related party, $0.33 million due to related party and $0.25 million in Promissory notes — related party.

H. Reflects the settlement of the subscription liability issued by Plum to investors whereby Sponsor agreed to transfer its Class A founder shares totaling 1.73 million shares at the Closing of the Business Combination in exchange for cash to cover its working capital needs for total proceeds of $2.36 million to be repaid in cash at the Closing of the Business Combination. The entry reflect the release of the $1.57 million of subscription liability and associated debt discount of $0.39 million, resulting in net cash to be paid at closing of $1.96 million and the accretion of the related debt discount to accumulated deficit of $0.39 million.

I. Reflects the conversion of Series A-2 Preferred Stock into 3,089,056 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

184

Table of Contents

J. Reflects the reduction of founder share of 1,726,994 as at the consummation of the Business Combination, which founder shares will be subject to the same earnout provisions as stated by the Earnout Shares terms. These founder shares along with the 4,500,000 Earnout Shares were reviewed and the arrangement will be classified within equity under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). As a result of equity classification, the fair value of the shares transferred will be recorded within equity upon the date the shares are granted to the holder, which in this case is the date the New Plum Common Stock price targets are achieved. No entry has been recorded in the Pro Forma financial statements because of the equity classification. The fair value of the shares transferred will be recorded on the financial statements of the combined company if the New Plum Common Stock price targets are met during the ten (10) years following the Closing of the Business Combination. The entry to record the transfer of shares, should it occur, will be to record an expense equal to the amount of the fair value of the share transfer with an offset to equity.

K. Reflects the interest earned in the Trust Account subsequent to December 31, 2023.

L. Reflects the extension deposit of $0.09 million through February 5, 2024 representing $0.04 million for each month extension.

Note 5 — Adjustments and Reclassifications to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Year Ended December 31, 2023

The Pro Forma adjustments included in the unaudited Pro Forma condensed combined statement of operations for year ended December 31, 2023, are as follows:

AA. Reflects the elimination of interest income generated from the investments held in the Trust Account after giving effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023.

BB. Reflects the elimination of administrative service fees that will cease to be paid upon the Closing of the Business Combination.

CC. Reflects the transaction costs of Plum expected to be incurred for legal, accounting and due diligence services. For the Plum transaction costs of $5.35 million, none have been accrued or paid as of the Pro Forma balance sheet date. As such, the $5.35 million is reflected as an expense in the unaudited Pro Forma combined statement of operations.

DD. Reflects the reversal of interest expense and amortized debt discount in connection with the Subscription Liability as the pro forma assumes the transaction closed on January 1, 2023.

Note 6 — Net Earnings per Share

Represents the earnings per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2023. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share assumes that the shares issued in connection with the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entire period presented. If the number of Public Shares described under the “maximum Redemptions” scenario described above are redeemed, this calculation is retroactively adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entire period.

INFORMATION ABOUT PLUM

Plum Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company” or “Plum”) is a blank check company, incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization, or similar business combination with one or more businesses, which we refer to throughout this Report as our initial business combination.

Kanishka Roy and Mike Dinsdale established Plum with the mission of creating a platform, built by operators for operators, to enable great private companies to become outstanding public companies and listed stocks. We believe there is an opportunity to create replicable infrastructure to launch multiple SPACs, featuring different members of our large extended team over time. We seek to establish ourselves as the first-stop SPAC platform for high-quality companies in the US and Europe that can benefit from our extended team, our decades of operational experience leading technology companies, our direct access to Fortune-500 company partnerships, help with internationalization, and our proprietary Accelerating Through the Bell operational playbook that helps companies list and grow in the public markets. Our platform is also aligned with the incentives and outcome of investors as we are funding all our risk capital internally as a sign of confidence and commitment to a successful outcome.

We have founded, led, advised, and invested in companies that have invented entire sectors, scaled to become market leaders, and delivered exceptional returns for investors. Through these experiences, we have developed a deep respect for leaders of rapidly scaling technology companies. As a result, we are motivated by a passion for working to maximize the value of their exemplary private companies as they transition to the public markets.

We believe the broad and diversified experience of our founders equips us to add significant value to our partner company. Mr. Roy is a technology and finance veteran with over 20 years of experience as a technology investment banker, public company executive, and growth investor. At Morgan Stanley, Mr. Roy was the Global Head of Tech M&A Origination, helping to initiate and execute industry defining mergers. Most recently, Mr. Roy was Global CFO at SmartNews, a high-growth multibillion dollar private AI company with over 20 million monthly active users. Mr. Dinsdale has defined the “modern unicorn” CFO for over 20 years, with strategic expertise in building high growth international companies in Consumer and B2B SaaS. Most recently, Mr. Dinsdale was the CFO for Gusto, a leader in SMB payroll and human resources software. Prior to that, Mr. Dinsdale was CFO of two generational, market-leading software companies in DoorDash and DocuSign.

We believe that the combined experience of our team and our differentiated long-term strategy positions us as an optimal partner for companies seeking to access the public markets.

On March 18, 2021, we completed our Initial Public Offering of 30,000,000 Units, and on April 14, 2021 issued an additional 1,921,634 Units as a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, at a price of $10.00 per Unit generating gross proceeds of $319,216,340 before underwriting discounts and expenses. Each Unit consisted of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one Public Warrant. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to certain adjustments.

Following the closing of our Initial Public Offering and the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, an amount equal to $319,216,340 of the net proceeds from its Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was placed in the Trust Account. The Trust Account may be invested only in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in United States Treasuries and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which invest only in direct U.S. government obligations.

On March 15, 2023, we held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination from March 18, 2023 to June 18, 2023, and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the such date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine (9) times by an additional one month each time after June 18, 2023, by resolution of Plum’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until March 18, 2024, unless the closing of the Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date.

188

Table of Contents

On July 14, 2023 and August 16, 2023, Plum’s Board elected to extend the date by which Plum must complete an initial business combination, on each occasion by one month, from July 18, 2023 to September 18, 2023. As a result, the Sponsor deposited $160,000 into the Trust Account on each occasion.

On September 13, 2023, we held a second shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination from September 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023, and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the such date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six (6) times by an additional one month each time after December 18, 2023, by resolution of Plum’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until June 18, 2024, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date.

In connection with the Extension Meeting held on March 15, 2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem a total of 26,693,416 Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $273,112,312. In connection with the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023, Plum shareholders elected to redeem a total of 1,972,625 Plum Class A ordinary shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $21,142,261. Following the Extension Redemptions, Plum had approximately $35.1 million left in its Trust Account, all of which is held in U.S. treasury securities. These funds will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of a business combination (including the closing of the Business Combination) or (ii) the Redemption of all of the Public Shares if we are unable to complete the Business Combination or any other initial business combination by June 18, 2024, subject to applicable law.

If the Plum Board extends the termination date beyond March 18, 2024, and we have not completed a qualifying business combination transaction by March 18, 2024, we will be in violation of Nasdaq listing standards.

Section IM-5101-2(b) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules requires that any special purpose acquisition company, such as Plum, must within 36 months of the effectiveness of its Initial Public Offering registration statement, or such shorter period that the company specifies in its registration statement, must complete one or more business combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the value of the deposit account (excluding any deferred underwriters fees and taxes payable on the income earned on the deposit account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial combination. The date that is 36 months following the effectiveness of our Initial Public Offering registration statement is March 18, 2024. In connection with the Extension Meeting held on September 13, 2023, the termination date was extended until December 18, 2023, and the Plum Board has the authority to further extend the termination date up to six (6) times, in one month increments (though the Plum Board may decline to exercise this authority). If the Plum Board elects to extend the termination date each time that it is able to do so, the latest possible termination date authorized by the Articles Extension Proposal would be June 18, 2024. Please see “Risk Factors — The Plum Board has the authority to extend our termination date to a date that is in violation of applicable listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”).” for further information.

Plum’s Units, Public Shares and Public Warrants are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbols “PLMIU,” “PLMI,” and “PLMIW,” respectively.

Financial Position

With funds available for a business combination of approximately $35.6 million held in the Trust Account as of December 31, 2023, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using our cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires. However, we have not taken any steps to secure third-party financing and there can be no assurance it will be available to us.

189

Effecting Our Business Combination

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The Nasdaq listing rules require that our business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. The Plum Board determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

Lack of Business Diversification

For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

• subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination; and

• cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of the Business Combination

We are providing our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two (2) 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. The amount in the Trust Account was approximately $10.92 per Public Share as of December 31, 2023. The Redemption rights include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental, Plum’s Transfer Agent, in order to validly redeem its shares. There will be no Redemption rights upon the completion of our initial business combination with respect to our Warrants. Further, we will not proceed with redeeming our Public Shares, even if a Public Shareholder has properly elected to redeem its shares, if the Business Combination does not close. Our Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their Redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of the Business Combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 36 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares.

Limitations on Redemption Rights

If we seek shareholder approval of our initial business combination and we do not conduct Redemptions in connection with our initial business combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering, which we refer to as “Excess Shares,” without

190

Table of Contents

our prior consent. We believe this restriction will discourage shareholders from accumulating large blocks of shares, and subsequent attempts by such holders to use their ability to exercise their Redemption rights against a proposed business combination as a means to force us or our management to purchase their shares at a significant premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. Absent this provision, a Public Shareholder holding more than an aggregate of 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering could threaten to exercise its Redemption rights if such holder’s shares are not purchased by us, our Sponsor or our management at a premium to the then-current market price or on other undesirable terms. By limiting our shareholders’ ability to redeem no more than 15% of the shares sold in the Initial Public Offering without our prior consent, we believe we will limit the ability of a small group of shareholders to unreasonably attempt to block our ability to complete our initial business combination, particularly in connection with a business combination with a target that requires as a closing condition that we have a minimum net worth or a certain amount of cash.

However, we would not be restricting our shareholders’ ability to vote all their shares (including Excess Shares) for or against our initial business combination.

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Business Combination

We have until June 18, 2024 to complete a business combination. If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination during such period, we 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 (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which Redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such Redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the Plum Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands Companies Law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to other requirements of applicable law. There will be no Redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to our Warrants, which will expire worthless if we fail to consummate an initial business combination by June 18, 2024. The Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands Companies Law.

Our Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any founder shares they hold if we fail to consummate an initial business combination by June 18, 2024, although they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Public Shares they hold if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame.

Our Sponsor, executive officers and directors have agreed, pursuant to a written agreement with us, that they will not propose any amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 18, 2024 or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares, unless we provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public 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 us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares.

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing our plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts remaining held in our accounts outside the Trust Account plus up to $100,000 of funds from the Trust Account available to us to pay dissolution expenses, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.

191

Table of Contents

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the 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 and any tax payments or expenses for the dissolution of the trust, the per-share Redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. We cannot assure you that the actual per-share Redemption amount received by shareholders will not be substantially less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our 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 responsibility 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 our 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, our management will consider whether competitive alternatives are reasonably available to us 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 Plum under the circumstances. Examples of possible instances where we 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. The underwriter of our Initial Public Offering and our independent registered public accounting firm have not executed agreements with us waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account. 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 us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to us (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), or a prospective target business with which we 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) $10.00 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 $10.00 per Public 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 does it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. However, we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Therefore, we cannot assure you 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 our initial business combination and Redemptions could be reduced to less than $10.00 per Public Share. In such event, we may not be able to complete our initial business combination, and you would receive such lesser amount per share in connection with any Redemption of your Public Shares. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us 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) $10.00 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 $10.00 per share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case less taxes payable, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification

obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share Redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Sponsor is also not liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriter of our Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to the amounts remaining in our accounts outside the Trust Account following the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors, however, such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our Trust Account received by any such shareholder.

If we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us 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 our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per Public Share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy or winding-up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding-up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy or insolvency 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 our shareholders. Furthermore, the Plum Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and Plum to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to the Business Combination and Plum — In the event Plum distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to its Public Shareholders and subsequently files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against Plum that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and Plum and the Plum Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.”

Our Public Shareholders will be entitled to receive funds from the Trust Account only (i) in the event of the Redemption of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 18, 2024, (ii) in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our Existing Governing Documents to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by June 18, 2024 or with respect to any other 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 our 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 we seek shareholder approval in connection with our 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 us for an applicable pro rata share of the Trust Account. Such shareholder must have also exercised its Redemption rights described above. These provisions of our Existing Governing Documents, like all provisions of our Existing Governing Documents, may be amended with a shareholder vote.

Employees

We currently have two executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

Our board of directors is divided into three classes, with only one class of directors being elected in each year, and with each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term. In accordance with the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, we are not required to hold an annual meeting until one year after our first fiscal year end following our listing on Nasdaq. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Mr. Black and Ms. Chow, will expire at our first annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Mr. Sama, will expire at our second annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Mr. Roy and Mr. Dinsdale, will expire at our third annual meeting of shareholders.

Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the board of directors may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of our founder shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of our founder shares may remove a member of the board of directors for any reason.

Pursuant to an agreement entered into on or prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, our Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for election to our board of directors, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the registration and shareholder rights agreement.

Our officers are appointed by the board of directors and serve at the discretion of the board of directors, rather than for specific terms of office. Our board of directors is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association as it deems appropriate. Our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association will provide that our officers may consist of one or more chairman of the board, chief executive officer, president, chief financial officer, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the board of directors.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of our board of directors be independent. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards. Our independent directors will have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Executive Compensation and Director Compensation

None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities are first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will reimburse our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month. Pursuant to our Administrative Services Agreement we may make payments or reimbursements to our Sponsor or its affiliates, for the reasonable salaries and other services provided to us prior to or in connection with our initial business combination by its employees, consultants and/or members, who may include our officers or directors, and may also pay certain fees to our Sponsor or its respective affiliates. In addition, our Sponsor, executive officers, directors, or their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee will review periodically all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, executive officers, directors, or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination will be made using funds held outside the trust account. Other than periodic audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not expect to have any additional controls in place governing our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, will be paid by the company to our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by the combined company to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of the proposed business combination because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on our board of directors.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors has three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors. Subject to phase-in rules and a limited exception, the rules of Nasdaq require that the compensation committee and the nominating committee of a listed company be comprised solely of independent directors.

Audit Committee

We have established an audit committee of the board of directors. Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow serve on our audit committee. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow are independent under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules. Mr. Sama serves as the Chairman of the audit committee.

196

Table of Contents

Under the Nasdaq listing standards and applicable SEC rules, all the directors on the audit committee must be independent. Each member of the audit committee is financially literate and our board of directors has determined that qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

The audit committee is responsible for:

• meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

• monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

• verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

• inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

• appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

• determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent registered public accounting firm regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

• establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

• monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of the Initial Public Offering and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of the Initial Public Offering; and

• reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by our board of directors, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

Nominating Committee

We have established a nominating committee of our board of directors. The members of our nominating committee are Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow, and Ms. Chow serves as chairwoman of the nominating committee. Under the Nasdaq listing standards, we are required to have a nominating committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow are independent under the Nasdaq listing standards.

The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on our board of directors. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which is specified in our nominating committee charter, generally provides that persons to be nominated:

• should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education, or public service;

• should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

197

Table of Contents

• should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

The nominating committee will consider a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee

We have established a compensation committee of our board of directors. The members of our compensation committee are Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow and Mr. Black serves as chairman of the compensation committee.

Under the Nasdaq listing standards, we are required to have a compensation committee composed entirely of independent directors. Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Sama, Mr. Black and Ms. Chow are independent under the Nasdaq listing standards.

We have adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

• reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our executive officers’ performance in light of such goals and objectives and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our executive officers, based on such evaluation;

• reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

• reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

• implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

• assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

• approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

• producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

• reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and will be directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our board of directors.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees (“Code of Ethics”). A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon request from us. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

Table of Contents

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent (10%) of our Ordinary Shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Conflicts of Interest

Under Cayman Islands Companies Law, directors and officers owe the following fiduciary duties:

(i) 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;

(ii) duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

(iii) directors should not improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

(iv) duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;

(v) 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

(vi) duty to exercise independent judgment.

In addition to the above, directors 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.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the memorandum and articles of association or alternatively by shareholder approval at shareholder meetings.

Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary and contractual duties to other entities. As a result, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, then, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law, he or she will need to honor such fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity before we can pursue such opportunity. If these other entities decide to pursue any such opportunity, we may be precluded from pursuing the same. However, we do not expect these duties to materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination. Our Existing Governing Documents provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) no individual serving as a director or an officer 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 us; and (ii) we renounce any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any potential transaction or matter which may be a corporate opportunity for any director or officer, on the one hand, and us, on the other.

In addition, our Sponsor, officers, and directors may Sponsor or form other special purpose acquisition companies similar to ours or may pursue other business or investment ventures during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies, businesses or investments may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an initial business combination. However, we do not believe that any potential conflicts would materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

• Our officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our executive officers and directors is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he or she may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers and directors are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs.

• Our Sponsor purchased founder shares prior to the date of our Initial Public Offering and our Sponsor purchased Private Placement Warrants in a transaction that closed simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering. Our Sponsor and each member of our management team have entered into agreements with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their Redemption rights with respect to any founder shares and Public Shares held by them in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination within 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 36 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares.

• Additionally, our Sponsor and other initial shareholders have agreed to waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to their founder shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame or any extended period of time that we may have to consummate an initial business combination as a result of an amendment to our Existing Governing Documents. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. Except as described herein, our Sponsor and our directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their founder

200

Table of Contents

shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading-days within any 30 trading-day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property. Except as described herein, the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable until 30 days following the completion of our initial business combination. Because each of our executive officers and directors own Ordinary Shares or Warrants directly or indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.

• Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination. In addition, our Sponsor, officers and directors may sponsor, form or participate in other blank check companies similar to ours during the period in which we are seeking an initial business combination. Any such companies may present additional conflicts of interest in pursuing an acquisition target, particularly in the event there is overlap among investment mandates.

We are not prohibited from pursuing an initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor, officers, or directors. In the event we seek to complete our initial business combination with a company that is affiliated with our Sponsor or any of our Sponsor, officers, or directors, we, or a committee of independent directors, will obtain an opinion from an independent investment banking firm or another independent entity that commonly renders valuation opinions that such initial business combination is fair to our company from a financial point of view. We are not required to obtain such an opinion in any other context.

Commencing on the date our securities are first listed on Nasdaq, we will also reimburse our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month. Pursuant to our Administrative Services Agreement we may make payments or reimbursements to our Sponsor or its affiliates, for the reasonable salaries and other services provided to us prior to or in connection with our initial business combination by its employees, consultants and/or members, who may include our officers or directors, and may also pay certain fees to our Sponsor or its respective affiliates.

We cannot assure you that any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the Ordinary Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the business combination. In such case, our Sponsor and each member of our management team have agreed to vote their founder shares and Public Shares in favor of our initial business combination.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

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 willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Existing Governing Documents provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We expect to purchase a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust

Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the trust account due to their ownership of Public Shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following is a summary of fees paid or to be paid to Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), for services rendered.

All Other Fees. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no fees billed for products and services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm other than those set forth above.

Pre-Approval Policy

Our audit committee was formed upon the consummation of our Initial Public Offering. As a result, the audit committee did not pre-approve all of the foregoing services, although any services rendered prior to the formation of our audit committee were approved by our board of directors. Since the formation of our audit committee, and on a going-forward basis, the audit committee has and will pre-approve all auditing services and permitted non-audit services to be performed for us by our auditors, including the fees and terms thereof (subject to the de minimis exceptions for non-audit services described in the Exchange Act which are approved by the audit committee prior to the completion of the audit).

Legal Proceedings

There is no material litigation, arbitration or governmental proceeding currently pending against us or any members of our management team in their capacity as such.

Facilities

We currently utilize office space at 2021 Fillmore St. #2089, San Francisco, California 94115. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we pay to our Sponsor for office space and secretarial and administrative services pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement dated March 18, 2021. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of New Plum will be located at 164 E. 83rd Street, New York, NY 10028.

Competition

If we succeed in effecting the Business Combination with Veea, there will be, in all likelihood, significant competition from Veea’s competitors. We cannot assure you that, subsequent to the Business Combination, we will have the resources or ability to compete effectively. Information regarding Veea’s competition is set forth in the section entitled “Information About Veea — Competition.”

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

Plum has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, Plum’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by Plum’s independent registered public accounting firm. You may access information on Plum at the SEC website containing reports, proxy statements and other information at: http://www.sec.gov.

We will provide shareholders with audited financial statements of the prospective target business as part of the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer documents sent to shareholders to assist them in assessing the target business. In all likelihood, these financial statements will need to be prepared in accordance with, or reconciled to, GAAP, or International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), depending on the circumstances, and the historical financial statements may be required to be audited in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. These financial statement requirements may limit the pool of potential target businesses we may conduct an initial business combination with because some targets may be unable to provide such statements in time for us to disclose such statements in accordance with federal proxy rules and complete our initial business combination within the prescribed time frame. We cannot assure you that any particular target business identified by us as a potential business combination candidate will have financial statements prepared in accordance with the requirements outlined above, or that the potential target business will be able to prepare its financial statements in accordance with the requirements outlined above. To the extent that these requirements cannot be met, we may not be able to acquire the proposed target business. While this may limit the pool of potential business combination candidates, we do not believe that this limitation will be material.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires that we evaluate and report on our system of internal controls beginning with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2022. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, will we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal controls over financial reporting. The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies because a target business with which we seek to complete our initial business combination may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of its internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Companies Act. As an exempted company, we have applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (As Revised) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are 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 our 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 our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We 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 completion of our Initial Public Offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our Ordinary Shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

Overview

Plum is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 11, 2021 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Plum intends to consummate an initial business combination using cash from the proceeds of Plum’s Initial Public Offering that closed on March 18, 2021 and the private placement of Plum Warrants, and from additional issuances of, if any, Plum’s equity or debt, or a combination of cash, equity and debt.

Recent Developments

Extension of Termination Date

On September 13, 2023, Plum held a shareholder meeting at which shareholders voted upon, among other items, a proposal to amend the Existing Governing Documents to extend the date by which Plum must consummate an initial business combination from September 18, 2023 to December 18, 2023, and to allow Plum, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the such date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six (6) times by an additional one month each time after December 18, 2023, by resolution of Plum’s Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until June 18, 2024, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date.

Accordingly, Plum will now have until June 18, 2024 to consummate a business combination transaction.

Results of Operations

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had a loss of $34,727. In addition to the loss from operations of $3,098,285, we recognized other income of $3,063,558 consisting of interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $4,758,906, reduction of deferred underwriter fee payable of $328,474, and change in fair value of the forward purchase agreement with Polar Multi-Strategy Master Fund dated March 1, 2023 (the “FPA”) of $308,114, offset by an unrealized loss on our warrant liabilities of $1,264,054, issuance of FPA of $308,114 and interest expense — debt discount of $759,768.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had a net income of $10,578,125. In addition to the loss from operations of $4,074,437, we recognized other income of $14,652,562 consisting of the change in fair value of our warrant liabilities of $8,973,522, termination fee of $1,000,000 and interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $4,679,040.

Through December 31, 2023, Plum’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities relating to general corporate matters. Plum has not generated any realized income, other than interest income. The change in fair value of Plum’s warrant liabilities had no impact on cash. As of December 31, 2023, $35,555,976 was held in the Trust Account, $94,703 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account, and Plum had $4,587,330 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to Plum to pay taxes, if any, the proceeds in the Trust Account will not be released from the Trust Account (1) to Plum, until the completion of Plum’s initial business combination, or (2) to the Public Shareholders, until the earliest of (i) the completion of Plum’s initial business combination, and then only in connection with those Plum Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to certain limitations, (ii) the Redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of Plum Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with Plum’s initial business combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if Plum does not complete an initial business combination within 27 months from the closing of the Initial Public Offering (or up to 36 months from the closing of our Initial Public Offering if we extend the period of time to consummate a business combination) (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of Plum Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the Redemption of the Public Shares if we have not consummated a Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

As of December 31, 2023, Plum had cash outside the Trust Account of $94,703, available for working capital needs. Plum intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account for identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates, performing business due diligence on prospective target businesses, traveling to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses, reviewing corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, selecting the target business to acquire and structuring, negotiating and consummating an initial business combination.

In March and April 2021, Plum sold 31,921,634 Units (the “Units” and, with respect to the Plum Class A ordinary shares included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $319,216,340. In connection with the vote held on March 15, 2023, to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 26,693,416 Plum Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $273,112,312. In connection with the vote held on September 13, 2023, to approve a second Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 1,972,625 Plum Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a Redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $21,142,261.

Additionally, Plum sold 6,256,218 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating gross proceeds of $9,384,327.

Following the sale of our Units and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, a total of $319,216,340 ($10.00 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $18,336,269 in Initial Public Offering related costs, including $6,384,327 of underwriting fees, $11,172,572 of deferred underwriting discount and $779,370 of other costs with $564,701 which was allocated to the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, included in the statements of operations and $17,771,568 included in temporary equity.

On January 31, 2022, Plum issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Dinsdale Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Mike Dinsdale, Plum’s Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Dinsdale Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of an initial business combination. The Company may draw on the Dinsdale Note from time to time, in increments of not less than $50,000, until the earlier of March 18, 2023 or the date on which the Company consummates an initial business combination. If Plum does not complete an initial business combination, the Dinsdale Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of an initial business combination, Mr. Dinsdale shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Dinsdale Note, in whole or in part, into Private Placement Warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between Plum and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The Dinsdale Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Dinsdale Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Dinsdale Note becoming immediately due and payable. The Dinsdale Note was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On July 11, 2022, Plum issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Burns Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Ursula Burns, the former chairperson of the Plum Board. The Burns Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of an initial business combination. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the principal of the Burns Note may be drawn down from time to time at Plum’s option prior to August 25, 2022 and any or all of the remaining undrawn principal of the Burns Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option after August 25, 2022, in each case in increments of not less than $50,000. If Plum does not complete an initial business combination, the Burns Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of an initial business combination, Ms. Burns shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Burns Note, in whole or in part, into Private Placement Warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between Plum and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The Burns Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Burns Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Burns Note becoming immediately due and payable.

On March 16, 2023, Plum issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $250,000 (the “Roy Note”) to Mr. Kanishka Roy, Plum’s Co-Chief Executive Officer, individually and as a member of Plum Partners LLC. Mr. Roy funded the initial principal amount of $250,000 on March 16, 2023. The Roy Note does not bear interest and matures upon the consummation of Plum’s initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In the event that Plum does not consummate a business combination, the Roy Note will be repaid upon Plum’s liquidation only from amounts remaining outside of Plum’s Trust Account, if any. The Roy Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Roy Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Roy Note becoming immediately due and payable.

On March 17, 2023, July 25, 2023, October 18, 2023 and November 12, 2023, Plum issued unsecured promissory notes (“Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000, $1,090,000, $340,000 and $800,000, respectively, to the Sponsor, which may be drawn down by Plum from time to time prior to the consummation of the Plum’s initial business combination. The Convertible Promissory Notes do not bear interest, mature on the date of consummation of the initial business combination and are subject to customary events of default. The Convertible Promissory Notes will be repaid only to the extent that Plum has funds available to it outside of its Trust Account and are convertible into Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor.

As of December 31, 2023, Plum had investments held in the Trust Account of $35,555,976 (including $9,454,208 of income) consisting of money market funds.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities was $1,062,642. Net Loss of $34,727 which consisted of change in fair value of FPA of $308,114, reduction of deferred underwriter fee payable of $328,474, and interest earned on cash held in the Trust Account of $4,758,906, was primarily offset by an unrealized loss on our warrant liabilities of $1,264,054, issuance of FPA of $308,114, interest expense — debt discount of $759,768, and other operational activities including amounts for accounts payable and accrued expenses and due to related party of $2,035,643.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash used in operating activities was $1,020,823. Net income of $10,578,125 was primarily offset by the change in the fair value of our warrant liabilities of $8,973,522 and interest earned on investments held in the Trust Account of $4,679,040. Other operational activities including amounts due to related party, prepaid assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses generated $120,000, $348,794, and $1,584,820, respectively.

Plum intends to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account to acquire a target business and to pay its expenses relating thereto. To the extent that our equity or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete an initial business combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue growth strategies.

207

Table of Contents

Further, Plum’s Sponsor, officers and directors or their respective affiliates have committed to loan Plum funds as may be required (the “Working Capital Loans”). If we complete an initial business combination, we will repay the Working Capital Loans. In the event that an initial business combination does not close, Plum may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans, but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes would either be repaid upon consummation of an initial business combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, converted upon consummation of an initial business combination into additional Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Promissory Notes have been determined to have de minimis value.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern, management has determined that Plum has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about Plum’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, Plum may need to obtain additional financing either to complete an initial business combination or because Plum becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of its Public Shares upon consummation of an initial business combination, in which case Plum may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such an initial business combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, Plum would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of an initial business combination. If Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination because Plum does not have sufficient funds available to it, Plum will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following an initial business combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, Plum may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

Further, management has determined that if Plum is unable to complete an initial business combination by December 18, 2023, or June 18, 2024 if elected to extend the Termination Date up to six (6) times by an additional one month each time (the “Combination Period”), then Plum will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as Plum’s working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about Plum’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should Plum be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. Plum intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Plum has no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2023. Plum 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.

Plum has not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

Contractual Obligations

Plum does not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Plum are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted (“GAAP”) in the United States and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Table of Contents

Warrant Liabilities

Plum accounts for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants 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 are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to Plum’s own Ordinary Shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of Plum’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified Warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. Plum accounts for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each Warrant must be recorded as a liability.

Convertible Promissory Notes

Plum accounts for its convertible promissory notes issued to Kanishka Roy, Mike Dinsdale, and Ursula Burns under ASC 815. Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”). Plum has made such election for its convertible promissory notes. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory notes are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the notes and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the condensed statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the condensed statements of operations. The convertible promissory notes are reported at cost in the consolidated financial statements as the fair value adjustment associated with the conversion is deemed to be immaterial.

Redeemable Shares of Class A Ordinary shares

All of the 3,255,593 Plum Class A ordinary shares included in the Units sold as part of Plum’s Initial Public Offering contain a Redemption feature as described in the prospectus for the Initial Public Offering. In accordance with ASC 480, Redemption provisions not solely within the control of Plum require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Plum’s Existing Governing Documents provide a minimum net tangible asset threshold of $5,000,001. Plum recognizes changes in Redemption value immediately as they occur and will adjust the carrying value of the security at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable shares will be affected by charges against additional paid-in capital.

Plum has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The potential Ordinary Shares for outstanding Warrants to purchase Plum’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 because the Warrants are contingently exercisable, and the contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per common share is the same as basic net income per common share for the periods.

Recent Accounting Standards

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on Plum’s financial statements.

INFORMATION ABOUT Veea

Overview

Veea is a provider of edge computing and communications devices (i.e., “VeeaHub” devices), applications and services hosted on its edge Platform-as-a-Service (“ePaaS”). Veea Edge Platform ePaaS is an end-to-end platform that is both locally- and cloud-managed. VeeaHub products are converged computing and communications (i.e., hyperconverged) indoor and outdoor devices, about the size of a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), that provide for networking and computing solutions for AI-assisted applications and solutions at the edge where people, places, and things connect to the network. Veea’s ePaaS architecture and business model is similar to Apple’s platform architecture and business model for iPhones and iPads but extended to hyperconverged VeeaHub devices offered by Veea.

Veea Edge Platform provides for highly secure connectivity, computing, and IoT solutions through full stack platform for digital transformation of industries as well as unserved or underserved communities that lack Internet connectivity and essential applications and services. It further enables the formation of highly secure, but easily accessible, private clouds and networks across one or multiple user(s) or enterprise location(s) across the globe. We have redefined and simplified edge computing and connectivity with Veea Edge Platform, easily deployable products that fully integrate hardware, system software, technologies, and edge applications. We are demonstrating, globally, that the Platform enables our partners and customers to champion digital transformations in multiple vertical markets.

Through our innovative Veea Edge Platform, we have created a new product category that brings cloud capabilities close to the user, as an alternative to cloud computing, with benefits in optimal latency, lower data transport costs, data privacy, security and ownership, Edge AI, “always-on” availability at the edge for mission critical applications, and contextual awareness for people, devices and things connected to the Internet. Gartner has recognized the innovativeness and capabilities of the platform by naming Veea a Leading Smart Edge Platform in 2023 and Cool Vendor in Edge Computing in 2021. Market Reports World in its research report published in October 2023 named Veea as one of the top 10 Edge AI solution providers alongside of IBM, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and others.

Veea earns revenue primarily from the sale of its VeeaHub devices, licenses and subscriptions. Veea incurred net losses of $15,635,589 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and net losses of $35,200,039 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Veea generated revenue of $9,072,130 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and revenue of $224,052 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Other than revenue generated from the license of AdEdge™ in 2023, revenue has been immaterial for all periods presented and represented revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub devices.

Veea was founded in 2014 by Allen Salmasi, our Chief Executive Officer and a pioneering wireless technology leader. Mr. Salmasi helped to drive industry transformation through his contributions to the development of CDMA/TDMA-based OmniTRACS, the largest mobile satellite messaging and position reporting system with integrated IoT solutions during the 1980s and in the 1990s; 2G/3G technology and products at Qualcomm in 1990s; 4G technology and products at NextWave during the 2000s, and hyper-converged edge computing and communications during the 2010s; and beyond with Veea. At Veea, Mr. Salmasi has assembled a talented and experienced management and engineering team that includes former senior executives of leading technology, telecom, SaaS, and wireless companies that possess a deep understanding of wireless technologies, mesh networking and edge computing.

Veea has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Veea Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation; Veea Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation; and Veea Systems Ltd., a company located in the United Kingdom. On March 24, 2021, the Company formed VeeaSystems SAS (“Veea SAS”), a simplified joint stock company in France. Upon formation, the Company contributed capital totaling €875 (approximately $1,100), which constituted approximately a 17.5% ownership in Veea SAS. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) contributed capital to constitute an approximately 7% ownership in Veea SAS. In addition, the Company’s CEO is the President of Veea SAS as well as a director. The Company holds a call option with each of the four other Veea SAS shareholders to acquire the remaining outstanding equity of Veea SAS, including shares owned by the Company’s CEO, which expires June 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had exercised all of the call options and upon closing of such purchases Veea will own 100% of the outstanding equity of Veea SAS.

Our Target Markets

Digital Equity and Inclusion

As noted in the GSMA Mobile Economy 2023 report, one-third of the world’s population lacks Internet access due to limited or no access to cost-effective network infrastructure and services. The Wi-Fi Alliance estimated in their 2021 Global Economic Value of Wi-Fi report, that bridging this “digital divide” would result in global economic value growth on the order of $4.9 trillion by 2025. We are actively involved in planning and executing deployments in Southeast Asia, West Africa and the Americas, using our technologies that uniquely address this global opportunity.

Our vTBA provides an affordable, accessible, and comprehensive solution to address for this “digital divide.” vTBA enables the virtualization of Wi-Fi network capabilities across access points, consumers of Wi-Fi services, and connected devices. These network capabilities are “sliced,” meaning that traffic throughput, latency, and priority of service can be tailored to the requirements of the applications for, or the Service Level Agreements (“SLAs”) with the enterprise and consumer markets. This is achieved by using cloud-based policy definition and locally based policy enforcement, which minimizes the effort required to onboard customers and automate network management functions. Unlike mobile network solutions requiring cellular devices, vTBA is a Wi-Fi first solution that connects the widest range of consumer and IoT endpoints because Wi-Fi is the most prevalent wireless interface and vTBA serves past and current standards of Wi-Fi devices. vTBA controller provides for a Wi-Fi control channel that permits offering of vTBA-based services on a pre-paid or post-paid basis with roaming within the coverage of a private network of VeeaHub units located anywhere in the world.

As another use case, by establishing a canopy of connectivity globally across remote communities while leveraging the Veea Edge Platform edge computing and its integration with sensors, we facilitate climate-smart agriculture solutions for smallholder farmers and gather data from remote ecosystems. This information is used to increase productivity in farms, reduce resource utilization, and increase transparency for carbon capture business models. We drive increased economic activity for local economies.

Climate Smart Spaces

Buildings contribute to approximately 37% of global carbon emissions and 34% of global energy consumption. Improvements to building utility management systems are critical to reducing global emissions and energy consumption. Studies furnished by the US Department of Energy have shown that as much as 30% of building energy consumption can be eliminated through more accurate sensing and more effective use of controls. Smart climate management requires a computational platform that meshes wired and wireless Internet connections from sensors to a central processing platform.

Veea is the first company to develop containerized Niagara that is integrated with the Niagara Framework® (developed by Tridium, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Honeywell International, Inc.), the leading platform for connecting to and managing building systems. Veea Edge can deliver actionable insight to building managers and homeowners regarding data generated by HVAC, lighting, access control, fire safety, plumbing and surveillance systems. Building managers and homeowners can use this data to reduce electricity usage and carbon emissions through continuous monitoring and optimization, building management automation, and analysis of usage patterns and environmental conditions. Veea enhances the traditional Niagara Framework by capturing and pre-processing operational data locally, before augmenting it with cloud processing, along with interconnecting wired and wireless sensors. Given the dynamic nature of building configurations, designs, and materials, flexibility in deploying wireless sensors, connection to the Internet, and local data processing is required.

Converged Private Wireless Networks and Smart Retail

Wi-Fi and private 4G/5G networks are converging to provide wider coverage, faster speeds, and connectivity across a broad range of devices and sensors. By integrating the two technologies, devices can connect seamlessly to the best available network coverage from Veea Edge Platform and private 4G/5G network. A converged network takes advantage of Wi-Fi’s ability to handle large amounts of data traffic, at lower network expense in areas densely populated by people and machines, with 5G’s reliability and low latency over large distances.

211

Table of Contents

Veea’s hyper-converged edge platform uniquely complements this new technology through its vTBA 5G interworking functionality allowing 5G and non-5G endpoints to be managed from a converged controller. This is unique to the industry and overcomes the need to replace many fully functioning Wi-Fi or IoT endpoints, especially for industrial and enterprise use cases, and allows legacy wired and wireless endpoints to remain connected via the Veea Edge Platform.

In many instances, private 5G networking infrastructure is being instantiated in retail environments and the 5G interworking function enabled by vTBA introduces another innovation from Veea — AdEdge. This Veea-authored application contains prominent features of a modern advertising management platform including integration into real-time advertising for smart shipping carts as well as selling the ad content against an inventory of Digital out of Home (“DOOH”) displays in retail locations, transportation centers, smart city deployments, stadiums, restaurants, etc. This solution capitalizes on the hyper-converged features of the VeeaHub by deploying an advertising media player and dynamic campaign manager that triggers custom ads based on sensory or visual inputs in a location.

Business Strategy

Our business strategy is focused on leveraging three key paths to market:

• Technology Partnerships — complementary technologies that are amplified with Veea technology capabilities.

• Distribution Channels — Aligned with our core edge-focused technology franchise, large-scale system integrators working to digitally transform industries, distributors and resellers of Niagara framework.

• Network Operators and Managed Service Providers — Providing for dedicated private networks end-to-end or monetization of their network assets, with the introduction of edge computing, Edge AI and their own customized applications, developed through the Veea developer portal to offer highly differentiated services that locks in the current customer base and reduces churn.

Our customer-centric approach yields mutual benefit. Our customer activities generally are the result of three phases:

• Core buildout — Deploying the core product platform with success-based capital with network operators or government entities that can deliver highly differentiated customer value, improvements in productivity, and economic outlook with new digital services facilitated by high quality, cost-competitive managed broadband services with value-added services.

• Geographic expansion — Expand the geographic footprint of the core buildout location to more of the unserved and underserved communities in the same geographic areas resulting in scale economics for core network components and materials that yield margin expansion for both Veea and Veea’s channel partners.

• Subscriber density — End-customers of the base connectivity services fuel the introduction of a diverse set of adjacent digital services with broadband connections, such as Edge AI, tele-health, energy management, public safety solutions, precision agriculture, and content distribution to reinforce the customer value proposition for the base connectivity services, which are often provided in a low to no competitive landscape. With the network micro-slicing feature of vTBA, there are major opportunities to bring such services to multi-family residential housing or multi-dwelling units, commercial buildings, campuses, rental or rural communities, and high density user communities with the type of service directly delivered to a plethora of endpoints, such as user devices, cameras, smart locks, sensors, and various electromechanical systems, monitored and controlled by Niagara framework, individually and offered on a subscription basis.

Given the significant increases in the data transport costs to the cloud as well as data ownership and privacy concerns around cloud-based applications, we believe that there is pent-up demand for low-latency and cost-effective private and public network solutions and applications at the edge that increase productivity and generate value for enterprises, people, places, and things connecting to the Internet, which will in turn will help network operators offering broadband services capture a greater enterprise value for connecting their customers to the internet.

212

Table of Contents

Our business model is partially based on global demands from the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions for a product platform and software services for the generation of new revenue streams, with lower recurring costs, compared to traditional network infrastructure that lacks automation of service delivery and entails substantial ongoing operational support and network maintenance costs. We believe we are uniquely positioned in the marketplace, leveraging our strengths with our business model, including the following:

• Comprehensive, full suite of hardware and software services with a strategic focus on high-growth segments in emerging markets and underserved areas in mature markets for broadband services and edge applications including climate smart energy and sustainability solutions.

• Aligned customers with value propositions where Veea and our customers benefit in the creation of new revenue streams.

• Innovation-driven, a technology-centric platform that redefines capabilities of connecting people, places, and things to the internet with greater efficiency with edge applications.

• Highly automated capabilities for network service providers and enterprises to harness the power of software for improved customer experiences and reduced manual labor.

• Climate-smart platform technology advancements that bring greater productivity to emerging and mature markets, with measured improvements to the environment.

Our Technology

The Veea Edge Platform is comprised of several elements needed to deploy cloud-to-edge solutions driving digital transformation for communities and industries worldwide. This comprehensive platform is comprised of three main components:

• VeeaHub devices — a highly integrated convergent secure computing hardware platform, with a Linux server supporting virtualized software environment and patented “Secured Docker” containers, storage and connectivity for Wi-Fi, IoT, and 4G/5G devices.

• VeeaWare — an edge operating system and companion tools, that manage the convergence of computing and connectivity across a mesh of VeeaHub products.

• VeeaCloud — A cloud native system that underpins the easy deployment of hardware and software at the edge that manages the VeeaHub devices and their capabilities and edge applications remotely.

The Veea technology franchise also includes Veea-authored applications that run on the VeeaHub products. These applications can be deployed by our channel partners and customers to compose complete solutions. Some of these applications are open frameworks that integrate into broader ecosystems such as Honeywell Tridium’s Niagara, Microsoft’s Azure IoT, or AWS IoT Greengrass. Other Veea applications simplify the deployment of enabling technologies to the edge. As an example, our edge AI framework enables the movement of AI model execution from the cloud to the edge, bringing the benefits of AI closer to the source of the real-time data so actionable insight can be provided to control applications running at the edge and thereby reducing inference time and amount of data traversing from the edge to the cloud. This innovative platform provides for seamless integration with AI capabilities by way of the secure, software container environment and tool kits for software developers.

VeeaHub Smart Connectivity and Computing Hub

The basic building block of the Veea Edge Platform is the VeeaHub, a unique combination of computing, connectivity, storage and security technologies. Every VeeaHub has a multi-core Linux server running a patented secure form of industry-standard docker containers to enable applications to be deployed at the user edge. The VeeaHub also has Bluetooth Classic and Low Energy, Zigbee/Thread, LoRaWAN (“LoRa”) gateway and multiband Wi-Fi APs.

The device has an advanced mesh networking capability, which we refer to as “vMesh,” that allows devices at the edge to act together as a micro-cloud and provides scalable coverage and communications capacity. The mesh provides flexible deployment scaling options enabling expansion of the edge solution to expand coverage and capacity,

add additional sensors or users or add computing and storage as needed. vMesh is self-organizing and self-healing mesh that automatically discovers and connects to newly authorized devices and redirects traffic if a node fails for resiliency. There is no dedicated controller for the vMesh, as the control function is incorporated into the middleware.

VeeaHubs can use a variety of wired and wireless connections to connect to the Internet, including LTE 4G and 5G. Some VeeaHub models support wired connections to edge devices using standard RS-232/485 connections, which are useful for smart spaces. Other models include a standard long range, low power wireless technology, LoRaWAN, which is ideal for outdoor and industrial use cases.

VeeaHub is available in three different models — (i) VeeaHub STAX (ii) VeeaHub Pro, which is designed for more demanding enterprise applications, and (iii) VeeaHub Pro Outdoor, which is environmentally hardened and designed for outdoor and industrial applications.

VeeaWare Edge Operating System

VeeaWare is a portable edge operating system that runs on the VeeaHub. VeeaWare features Veea’s secure container environment that extends industry standard docker containers, to assure applications running at the edge cannot interfere with or hack the system software running on the hardware platform or other applications running at the edge. VeeaWare Operating System (“vOS”) enables Veea and third-party partners to deploy multiple applications to the edge.

VeeaWare incorporates an abstraction layer that allows applications running on VeeaHub products to connect both IP and non-IP devices to a mesh of VeeaHub nodes. VeeaWare also incorporates all of the necessary mechanisms to move and store data across the mesh and provide data connections to the Wide Area Network (“WAN”).

VeeaWare includes a set of tools referred to as the VeeaHub Toolkit, which empowers developers to design, test, and publish applications to the VeeaHub products deployed in the field. These tools allow any developer to use a wide variety of industry-standard software and practices to deploy containers into the VeeaHub products in a highly secure and predictable manner. A web-based portal dedicated to the developer community provides necessary documentation to get started and to quickly become proficient in developing and deploying custom applications on the VeeaHub that serve customers’ specific use cases.

The process of developing applications with the VeeaHub Toolkit is similar to the process of developing and publishing Android or Apple iOS applications. Once a container has been created and tested locally, the developer submits it to a VeeaCloud repository for publication, and after the required verification is performed, the application becomes available within the VeeaCloud. Applications can be developed by Veea, its channel partners or the end-users for particular use cases.

VeeaWare has proven portability in that the Veea product portfolio incorporates hardware designs with different core computing platforms, connectivity options and other peripheral interfaces. In the future, we intend to license the VeeaWare edge operating systems to OEM and ODM partners to diversify and expand the supply chain and open up opportunities in adjacent marketplaces that may require specialized hardware. As an example, certain industries require explosion-proof designs at the edge.

VeeaCloud

VeeaCloud is the cloud-based platform that powers the deployment and management of VeeaHub products at the edge, provides management for the networking across the IT and OT domains, and offers full orchestration of application deployment and observability of the applications running on VeeaHub products. It incorporates a web-based control center for managing devices and applications at the edge, as well as a companion smartphone app, for both iOS and Android OS devices, called VeaaHub Manager (“VHM”) for installers, field technicians, and end users to install and manage VeeaHub products locally.

VeeaCloud has a rich set of Applications Programming Interfaces (“APIs”) to integrate into external Business Support Systems/Operations Support Systems (“BSS/OSS”) or the Manager of services providers and our distribution partners that operate convergent Network Operations Systems and support user management. The system utilizes a single sign-on system that integrates into leading user authentication systems. The product features a multi-tiered authentication and permission system to support multi-tenant, multi-level distribution schemes and can scale elastically to a large number of deployed nodes, users and devices.

Manufacturing

We rely on two contract manufacturers in Taiwan and China to manufacture our VeeaHub units.

Research and Development

Because the industry in which the Company competes is characterized by rapid technological advances, the Company’s ability to compete successfully depends heavily upon its ongoing research and development activities.

Key focus of the Company’s research and development activities include (i) the use of AI to optimize network and applications distribution and performance at the edge, (ii) support for elastic scaling and dynamic cloud to edge orchestration, (iii) real time radio and mesh tuning, (iv) partial and full air-gapped deployment between the public cloud and the edge, (v) optimized AI model execution across devices, the Veea Edge Platform and the cloud and (vi) fully integrated online ordering, fulfillment and activation to support large scale, hierarchical distribution partners.

Facilities

We are headquartered in New York City, New York. We have engineering offices in Iselin, New Jersey; Bath, United Kingdom; and Juvigny, France. We also maintain a sales and marketing office in Paris, France.

Employees

As of December 31, 2023, we employed 50 full-time employees. None of our employees are represented by a collective bargaining agreement, nor have we experienced any work stoppage. We consider our relations with our employees to be satisfactory. Our future success depends on our continuing ability to attract and retain highly qualified employees and senior management personnel. In addition, we have independent contractors whose services we are using on an as-needed basis to assist with our sales and marketing activities and engineering activities.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. We are not presently a party to any legal proceedings that are expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows, nor have we been to date since inception.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Veea should be read together with our audited consolidated financial statements, unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. The discussion and analysis should also be read together with the section entitled “Information About Veea” and our Pro Forma financial information as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements.” In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results may differ significantly from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause future results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Certain amounts may not foot due to rounding, and all figures presented are in thousands.

Company Overview

Veea is a provider of edge computing and communications devices (i.e., “VeeaHub” devices), applications and services hosted on its edge Platform-as-a-Service (“ePaaS”). Veea Edge Platform ePaaS is an end-to-end platform that is both locally- and cloud-managed. VeeaHub products are converged computing and communications (i.e., hyperconverged) indoor and outdoor devices, about the size of a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), that provide for networking and computing solutions for AI-assisted applications and solutions at the edge where people, places, and things connect to the network. Veea’s ePaaS architecture and business model is similar to Apple’s platform architecture and business model for iPhones and iPads but extended to hyperconverged VeeaHub devices offered by Veea.

Veea Edge Platform provides for highly secure connectivity, computing, and IoT solutions through full stack platform for digital transformation of industries as well as unserved or underserved communities that lack Internet connectivity and essential applications and services. It further enables the formation of highly secure, but easily accessible, private clouds and networks across one or multiple user(s) or enterprise location(s) across the globe. We have redefined and simplified edge computing and connectivity with Veea Edge Platform, easily deployable products that fully integrate hardware, system software, technologies, and edge applications. We are demonstrating, globally, that the Platform enables our partners and customers to champion digital transformations in multiple vertical markets.

Through our innovative Veea Edge Platform, we have created a new product category that brings cloud capabilities close to the user, as an alternative to cloud computing, with benefits in optimal latency, lower data transport costs, data privacy, security and ownership, Edge AI, “always-on” availability at the edge for mission critical applications, and contextual awareness for people, devices and things connected to the Internet. Gartner has recognized the innovativeness and capabilities of the platform by naming Veea a Leading Smart Edge Platform in 2023 and Cool Vendor in Edge Computing in 2021. Market Reports World in its research report published in October 2023 named Veea as one of the top 10 Edge AI solution providers alongside of IBM, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and others.

Veea earns revenue primarily from the sale of its VeeaHub devices, licenses and subscriptions. Veea incurred net losses of $15,635,589 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $35,200,039 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Veea generated net revenue of $9,072,130 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $224,052 for the year ended December 31, 20221. Other than revenue generated from the license of AdEdge™ in 2023, revenue has been immaterial for all periods presented and represented revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub devices.

Veea was founded in 2014 by Allen Salmasi, our Chief Executive Officer and a pioneering wireless technology leader. Mr. Salmasi helped to drive industry transformation through his contributions to the development of CDMA/TDMA-based OmniTRACS, the largest mobile satellite messaging and position reporting system with integrated IoT solutions during the 1980s and in the 1990s; 2G/3G technology and products at Qualcomm in 1990s; 4G technology and products at NextWave during the 2000s, and hyper-converged edge computing and communications during the 2010s; and beyond with Veea. At Veea, Mr. Salmasi has assembled a talented and experienced management and engineering team that includes former senior executives of leading technology, telecom, SaaS, and wireless companies that possess a deep understanding of wireless technologies, mesh networking and edge computing.

Recent Developments

Subscription Agreements

In October 2023, Veea commenced a private placement (the “Series A-2 Private Placement”) of its newly designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Veea Series A-2 Preferred Stock”). As of December 31, 2023, Veea (1) issued 12,660,067 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock in consideration for approximately $18.2 million in cash, the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations totaling approximately $5 million and (2) received additional subscription agreements totaling approximately $2 million for which shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock have not yet been issued as of such date. As of March 31, 2024, the Company raised an additional $12.5 million from the sale of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue, net

Veea earns revenue primarily from the sale of hardware, licenses and subscriptions. Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at a point-in-time, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, the right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation.

For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over-time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of finished goods, components purchased for manufacturing and freight. Cost of goods sold also includes third-party vendor costs related to cloud hosting fees.

Operating Expenses

We classify our operating expenses into the following categories:

• Product development expenses. Product development expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, employee benefits, stock-based compensation related to technology developers and product management employees, as well as fees paid for outside services and materials.

• Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses consist of compensation and other employee-related costs for personnel engaged in selling, marketing and sales support functions. Selling expenses also include marketing and the costs associated with customer evaluations. The Company does not currently incur advertising costs.

• General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses consist of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense) for employees and executive management, and expenses associated with finance, tax, and human resources. General and administrative expenses also includes transaction costs, expenses associated with facilities, information technology, external professional services, legal costs and settlement of legal claims and other administrative expenses.

• Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation of Veea’s property and equipment and amortization of Veea’s patents and other intellectual property.

• Impairment: Impairment consists of impairment charges related to our in-process research and development (“IPR&D”)

Revenue, net

The Company generated revenue of $9.1 million and $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other than $9 million of revenue generated from the license of AdEdge™ in 2023, revenue has been immaterial for all periods presented and represented revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub® devices.

Our focus over the past several years has been testing and refining our product to meet customer needs as well as market research. As a result of these efforts, we expect revenue to grow over the next several years through the sales of our hardware, licenses and subscriptions. We will be especially focused in four principal market opportunities: 1) Digital Equity and Inclusion, 2) Energy and Sustainability solutions for Smart Buildings and Climate Smart Agriculture, 3) Convergence of Fixed, Wireless, and 5G Networks, and 4) Smart Retail and Smart Warehouses.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold increased by $0.2 million, or 64%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to an increase in our inventory reserves.

Product Development Expense

Product development expense decreased by $2.5 million, or 79%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to a decrease in product development expenses due in part to (1) the completion of certain development projects with outside contractors that reached their conclusion and a reduction in ongoing associated costs, (2) a reduction in internal development costs related to products manufactured during the period and (3) delays in completion by technology partners of their development efforts.

Table of Contents

Sales and Marketing Expense

Sales and marketing expense decreased by $.2 million, or 44%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in costs paid to a third-party marketing firm.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense decreased by $1.6 million, or 8%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to reduced spending as a result of cost containment measures.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.1 million, or 56%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was due to certain intangibles reaching the end of their useful lives.

Interest income

Interest income relates to interest on cash and cash equivalents. These amounts were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Foreign Currency gain (loss)

Foreign Currency loss increased by $3.5 million, or 159%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was due to a change in foreign exchange rate related to agreements with our foreign subsidiaries. The Company maintains an intercompany revolving loan agreement with its UK subsidiary and an intercompany services agreement with its French subsidiary. The advances under the loan agreement are denominated in US dollars and reflected in local currency on the books and records of the subsidiary. Payments under the intercompany agreement with the Company’s French subsidiary are denominated in Euros and reflected in US dollars on the books and records of the Company and local currency on the books and records of the subsidiary.

Other expense

Other expenses relate to immaterial non-operating expenses incurred during the period. These amounts were immaterial for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased by $3.3 million, or 38%, in the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was related to the conversion of convertible notes into shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock at the end of 2022.

Trend Information

Other than as disclosed elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, we are not aware of any trends, uncertainties, demands, commitments or events that are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our revenues, net income, profitability, liquidity or capital resources, or that would cause reported financial information not necessarily to be indicative of future operating results or financial condition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through private placements of equity securities and debt to related parties. We plan to fund our operations and capital funding needs through a combination of private equity offerings, debt financings or a combination thereof. Since our inception, we have incurred significant operating losses and negative cash flows. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $170.3 million $154.6 million, respectively.

227

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash of $6.01 million and $0.19 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2024, the Company raised an additional $12.5 million from the sale of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The Company also intends to sell additional shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock prior to the Closing. As of December 31, 2023, we had $23.9 million outstanding debt, of which $14.9 million was related party debt and $9 million was outstanding under our working capital facility. The related party debt is held by our founder and certain of our founder’s affiliates and currently matures on June 30, 2024. Under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, the related party debt will be converted into New Plum Common Shares at a price of $10.00 per share. Our working capital facility matured May 15, 2023 and the maturity date was not formally extended and the facility is technically in default. The working capital facility is fully guaranteed and collateralized by an affiliate of our CEO. The Company has requested and is in discussions with the lender regarding an extension. Based on these discussions and verbal assurance from the lender, the Company is confident that the facility will be extended and that the Company will be able to refinance the facility. While the lender has not issued a notice of default nor commenced any enforcement action against the Company or the guarantor, or communicated an intent to do so, there can be no assurance the lender will not do so in the future.

On December 20, 2023, we signed a placement agent agreement with Capital Link International covering the private placement of up to $125 million face amount of 6.5% medium-term notes that would mature in August 2030. Closing of the offering is subject to customary closing conditions including legal and financial due diligence. We expect the offering to close in the second quarter of 2024.

The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for the next 12 months through its cash on hand and, the $5 million remaining available for borrowing under the working capital facility. The Company expects that the related party debt will be either converted into equity at Closing or the maturity date will be further extended. The Company is in discussion with the lender under its working capital facility and anticipates, based on these discussions that it will be able to refinance the facility. Furthermore, the Company intends to sell up to an additional $10 million of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock prior to the Closing, is also in discussions with other equity and lending sources and believes it will generate additional cash flow from its business operations.

While the Company has historically been able to raise financing, there can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available. Failure to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, raise additional capital or reduce certain discretionary spending would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s ability to achieve its intended business objectives.

Our liquidity needs will be dependent both on the performance of our business and on the amount of proceeds we realize through the Business Combination. If we do not realize sufficient proceeds from the Business Combination to carry out our business plan or if our business does not perform as we expect, we may be required to pursue additional financing or take other measures to improve our liquidity. See “Risk Factors — Veea may require substantial additional funding to finance our operations, but adequate additional financing may not be available when we need it, on acceptable terms or at all.”

Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

The following table shows Veea’s cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the stated periods:

|  | Year ended December 31, 2023 |  | Year ended December 31, 2022 |  | Variance
Operating activities |  | $ | (12,652,360 | ) |  | $ | (22,025,362 | ) |  | $ | 9,372,732 |
Investing activities |  |  | (155,054 | ) |  |  | (249,264 | ) |  |  | 94,210 |
Financing activities |  |  | 18,573,694 |  |  |  | 21,525,000 |  |  |  | (2,951,306 | )

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $13 million compared to $22 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $9.4 million. The increase was primarily due to the license of AdEdge™.

228

Table of Contents

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $0.1 from the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was immaterial and related primarily to the purchase of intangibles.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $18.6 million compared to $21.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, a decrease of $2.9 million. The decrease was due to (1) a repayment of debt and (2) a decrease in the issuance of convertible notes that was offset by an increase in the issuance of third-party debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have over the past three fiscal years, and we currently do not have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC. To the extent we have any contingent assets or liabilities, these have been captured and audited within the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires Veea’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Other than valuation of inventory, Veea does not currently have any critical accounting estimates that could have a material impact on their financial statements. Veea has other key accounting policies, which involve the use of estimates, judgments and assumptions that are significant to understanding its results, which are described in Note 3 to Veea’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company generates revenue from hardware sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price.

The Company earns revenue from the sale of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses and subscriptions. The Company generated revenue of $9,072,130 and $224,052 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other than $9 million of revenue generated from the license of AdEdge™ in 2023, revenue has been immaterial for all periods presented and represented revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub® devices.

For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over-time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period.

Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at a point-in-time, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation.

229

Table of Contents

Revenue from all sale types is recognized at the transaction price, the amount management expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for future returns, price protection, warranties, and other customer incentive programs based upon the Company’s expectation and historical experience.

The Company contracts with customers under non-cancellable arrangements. While customers, including resellers, may cancel master purchase agreements under certain circumstances, customers may not cancel or modify purchase orders placed under the terms of such master purchase agreements. Each purchase order is therefore a contract with the customer, i.e., the purchase of a quantity of any given, single product; further, purchase orders do not commit the customer to purchase any further volumes over time. Contract modifications do not carry revenue recognition implications as no revenue is recognized until control over products, or intellectual property, as applicable, has transferred to the customer.

The Company has service arrangements where net sales are recognized over time. These arrangements include a variety of post-contract support service offerings, which are generally recognized over time as the services are provided, including maintenance and support services, and professional services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems.

A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on services arrangements.

Inventory Valuation

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the value of its inventory and writes down the cost of inventory to its net realizable value if required, for estimated excess or obsolescence. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in future demand forecasts, market conditions, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration, and quality issues. The write down for excess or obsolescence is charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of Cost of goods sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At the point of the loss recognition, 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.

Due to the judgmental nature of inventory valuation, we may from time to time be required to adjust our assumptions as processes change and as we gain better information. Although we continue to refine the assumptions, described above, on which we base our estimates, we cannot be sure that our estimates are accurate indicators of future events. Accordingly, future adjustments may result from refining these estimates. Such adjustments may be significant.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. In conducting its annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company’s goodwill was recorded in connection with an acquisition consummated in June 2018. The Company considers goodwill to have an indefinite life and is not amortized.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives consist primarily of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and intangible assets which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is

230

Table of Contents

measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values on the date of the grant, recognized over the requisite service period. For awards that vest solely based on a service condition, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Warrants

The Company accounts for Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the Warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own Ordinary Shares and whether the Warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of Warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified Warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified Warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the Warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at their fair value on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the Warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

In connection with the Business Combination, Veea agreed to pay certain legal expenses contingent upon the closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023, the amount of the deferred fees totaled approximately $104,000.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

A discussion of recent accounting pronouncements applicable to Veea is described in Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Veea expects to be an emerging growth company as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with emerging growth company status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. Veea has elected to use this extended transition period to enable it to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date it (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, Veea’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, Veea intends to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an emerging growth company, Veea intends to rely on such exemptions, it is not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation

231

Table of Contents

report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (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 auditor’s report 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 Chief Executive Officer’s compensation to median employee compensation.

Veea will remain an emerging growth company under the JOBS Act until the earliest of (i) the last day of its first fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Plum Acquisition Initial Public Offering, (ii) the last date of our fiscal year in which it has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, (iii) the date on which it is deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under the rules of the SEC with at least $700.0 million of outstanding securities held by non-affiliates or (iv) the date on which it have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the previous three-years.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are conducted is the United States dollar (“USD”). Accordingly, the Company and all of its U.S. subsidiaries use USD as their functional currency.

Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss), mainly related to intercompany loans to the UK denominated in British Pound Sterling and intercompany agreements with our French subsidiary denominated in Euros, are included in other comprehensive gain (loss).

Our financial results could be affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, although foreign exchange risks have not been material to our financial position or results of operations to date. We prepared a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of hypothetical changes foreign currency exchange rates have on our results of operations. The foreign currency rate analysis assumed a movement in the British Pound Sterling by 10% relative to the U.S. Dollar on our results. Based upon the results of this analysis, a 10% change in the British Pound Sterling would have resulted in an increase or decrease in our earnings for the year ended December 31, 2023 of approximately $0.1 million. Changes in the Euro have not been material to our financial position or results of operations to date.

As a result of the New Plum Common Stock being listed on Nasdaq following consummation of the Business Combination, it will be required to comply with the applicable rules of such exchange in determining whether a director is independent. Prior to the completion of the Business Combination, the New Plum Board undertook a review of the independence of the individuals named above and have determined that each of qualifies as “independent” as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules, and the New Plum Board will consist of a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to director independence requirements. In addition, New Plum will be subject to the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq relating to the membership, qualifications and operations of the audit committee, as discussed below.

Board Committees

The New Plum Board will direct the management of its business and affairs, as provided by Delaware law, and will conduct its business through meetings of the board of directors and standing committees. New Plum will have a standing audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee, each of which will operate under a written charter.

In addition, from time to time, special committees may be established under the direction of the New Plum Board when the New Plum Board deems it necessary or advisable to address specific issues. Following the Business Combination, current copies of New Plum’s committee charters will be posted on its website, www.veea.com, as required by applicable SEC and Nasdaq rules. The information on or available through any of such website is not deemed incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus and does not form part of this proxy statement/prospectus.

Audit Committee

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum’s audit committee will consist of three (3) members. The New Plum Board has determined that each of these individuals meets the independence requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the applicable listing standards of Nasdaq. Each member of New Plum’s audit committee meets the requirements for financial literacy under the applicable Nasdaq rules. In arriving at this determination, the board has examined each audit committee member’s scope of experience and the nature of their prior and/or current employment.

The New Plum Board has determined that Douglas Maine qualifies as an audit committee financial expert within the meaning of SEC regulations and meets the financial sophistication requirements of Nasdaq rules. In making this determination, the New Plum Board has considered Douglas Maine’s formal education and previous and current experience in financial and accounting roles. Both New Plum’s independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically will meet privately with New Plum’s audit committee.

The audit committee’s responsibilities are expected to include, among other things:

• appointing, compensating, retaining, evaluating, terminating and overseeing New Plum’s independent registered public accounting firm;

• discussing with New Plum’s independent registered public accounting firm their independence from management;

• reviewing with New Plum’s independent registered public accounting firm the scope and results of their audit;

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the intended members of New Plum’s compensation committee has ever been an executive officer or employee of New Plum. None of New Plum’s executive officers currently serve, or have served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more executive officers that will serve as a member of the New Plum Board or compensation committee.

Role of the New Plum Board in Risk Oversight/Risk Committee

Upon the consummation of Business Combination, one of the key functions of the New Plum Board will be informed oversight of New Plum’s risk management process. The New Plum Board does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through the New Plum Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the New Plum Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. For example, the New Plum audit committee will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks associated with New Plum’s financial reporting, operational, privacy and cybersecurity, competition, legal, regulatory, compliance and reputational matters; and New Plum’s compensation committee will oversee the management of risks associated with our compensation policies and programs.

Oversight of Cybersecurity Risks

New Plum will face a number of risks, including cybersecurity risks and those other risks described under the section titled “Risk Factors” included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The audit committee will be responsible for overseeing the steps management has taken with respect to cybersecurity risk exposure. As part of this oversight, the audit committee will receive regular reports from management of New Plum on cybersecurity risk exposure and the actions management has taken to limit, monitor or control such exposures at its regularly scheduled meetings. Management will work with third party service providers to maintain appropriate controls. We believe this division of responsibilities is the most effective approach for addressing New Plum’s cybersecurity risks and that the New Plum Board leadership structure supports this approach.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Proposed Charter, which will be effective upon consummation of the Business Combination, contains provisions that limit the liability of New Plum’s directors and officers for damages to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Consequently, New Plum’s directors will not be personally liable to New Plum or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, and New Plum’s officers will not be personally liable to New Plum’s stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a officer, in each case except for any liability for:

• any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to New Plum or its stockholders;

• any act or omission not in good faith or which involves intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

• any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; and

• an illegal dividend, stock repurchase or Redemption under Section 174 of the DGCL.

The Proposed Charter requires New Plum to indemnify and advance expenses to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its directors, officers and agents. New Plum plans to maintain a directors’ and officers’ insurance policy pursuant to which New Plum’s directors and officers are insured against liability for actions taken in their capacities as directors and officers. Finally, the Proposed Charter prohibits any retroactive changes to the rights or protections or increasing the liability of any director in effect at the time of the alleged occurrence of any act or omission to act giving rise to liability or indemnification.

In addition, New Plum will enter into separate indemnification agreements with New Plum’s directors and officers. These agreements, among other things, require New Plum to indemnify its directors and officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of New Plum’s directors or officers or any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at New Plum’s request.

238

Table of Contents

We believe these provisions in the Proposed Charter are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers for New Plum following the completion of the Business Combination.

Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct

The New Plum Board will adopt Corporate Governance Guidelines that address items such as the qualifications and responsibilities of its directors and director candidates and corporate governance policies and standards applicable. In addition, the New Plum Board will adopt a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of its employees, officers and directors, including its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other executive and senior financial officers. The full text of New Plum’s Corporate Governance Guidelines and its Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will be posted on the Corporate Governance portion of New Plum’s website at www.veea.com. Information contained on or accessible through New Plum’s website is not a part of this proxy statement/prospectus, and the inclusion of New Plum’s website address in this proxy statement/prospectus is an inactive textual reference only. New Plum intends to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website rather than by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K.

VEEA EXECUTIVE OFFICER AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for Veea’s executive officers who are named in the “2022 Summary Compensation Table” below. As an “emerging growth company,” as such term is defined under the JOBS Act, Veea is not required to include a Compensation Discussion and Analysis section and has elected to comply with the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to an emerging growth company. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to Veea prior to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination and to New Plum and its subsidiaries after the proposed Business Combination. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements that are based on Veea’s current plans, considerations, expectations and determinations regarding future compensation programs. The actual compensation programs that New Plum will adopt may differ materially from the current or the currently planned programs that are summarized in this discussion.

Executive Compensation Summary

We have also included the material elements of compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to other officers of the company that may be named executive officers of the Business Combination. Together, these officers are referred to as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.”

Other than as set forth in the table and described more fully below, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, Veea did not pay any fees to, make any equity awards or non-equity awards to, or pay any other compensation to the named executive officers. The compensation reported in this summary compensation table below is not necessarily indicative of how we will compensate our named executive officers in the future. In connection with the Business Combination, each of our NEOs will enter into a new employment agreement with New Plum, which agreements may provide for increased base salaries and target annual bonus opportunities. We expect that we will continue to review, evaluate and modify our compensation framework as a result of becoming a publicly-traded company, and our compensation program following the consummation of the Business Combination could vary significantly from our historical practices.

Existing NEO Employment Agreements

Allen Salmasi, as founder and Chief Executive Officer of Veea, has largely controlled all significant decisions of Veea since its inception. Because of this unique role, Mr. Salmasi previously was not a party to an employment agreement or letter agreement with Veea, and instead his compensation was set in consultation with the Board.

On December 31, 2019, Veea entered into an offer letter with Mr. Tubinis, pursuant to which Mr. Tubinis began serving as Chief Commercial Officer. The offer letter provides for an indefinite term of employment. Pursuant to the offer letter, Mr. Tubinis was entitled to an initial annual salary of $210,000.

Ms. Smith does not have a written employment agreement with Veea.

Pursuant to their respective agreements, each of the NEOs is eligible to participate in a number of Company-sponsored benefit plans, programs and arrangements.

Long Term Equity Compensation Plans

The 2014 Plan and 2018 Plan provide for grants of options and restricted stock to eligible participants. The Veea Board administers the 2014 Plan and 2018 Plan and determines the exercise, vesting and expiration period of grants under each plan. The aggregate number of shares that may be reserved for awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2018 Plan is 1,250,000 and 12,429,910, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, 0 and 5,448,661 shares were available for awards under the 2014 Plan and the 2018 Plan, respectively.

Health and Welfare Plans

Our NEOs are eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans that we offer to our employees generally, including medical, life and accidental death and dismemberment, and short- and long-term disability benefits.

Director Compensation

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, Veea did not pay any compensation or make any equity awards to any directors.

New Plum’s board of directors expects to review director compensation periodically to ensure that director compensation remains competitive such that the New Plum is able to recruit and retain qualified directors. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum will adopt a director compensation program that is designed to align compensation with its business objectives and the creation of shareholder value, while enabling New Plum to attract, retain, incentivize, and reward directors who contribute to the long-term success of New Plum.

Executive Compensation After the Business Combination

Veea intends to enter into new employment agreements with its NEOs after Closing, but has not yet finalized the terms of such agreements.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with New Plum’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Plum to attract, retain, incentivize and reward individuals who contribute to the long-term success of New Plum. Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the Compensation Committee.

BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES

The following table sets forth information regarding (i) the beneficial ownership of Plum Ordinary Shares as of , 2024 and (ii) the expected beneficial ownership of New Plum Common Stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination (assuming a “no Redemption” scenario and assuming a “maximum Redemption” scenario as described below) by:

• each person known by Plum to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of Plum’s outstanding Ordinary Shares on , 2024;

• each person known by Plum who may become the beneficial owner of more than 5% of New Plum’s outstanding common stock immediately following the Business Combination;

• each of Plum’s current executive officers and directors;

• each person who will become an executive officer or a director of New Plum upon consummation of the Business Combination;

• all of Plum’s current executive officers and directors as a group; and

• all of New Plum’s executive officers and directors as a group after the consummation of the Business Combination.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security. Under those rules, beneficial ownership includes securities that the individual or entity has the right to acquire, such as through the exercise of warrants or stock options or the vesting of restricted stock units, within 60 days of , 2024. Shares subject to warrants or options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of , 2024 or subject to restricted stock units that vest within 60 days of , 2024 are considered outstanding and beneficially owned by the person holding such warrants, options or restricted stock units for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Shares underlying warrants and options of Veea listed in the table below are represented in shares of New Plum Common Stock, after giving effect to the Business Combination, including application of the Existing Holder Exchange Ratio (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement). Except as noted by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, based on the information provided to Plum, Plum believes that the persons and entities named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares shown as beneficially owned by them.

The beneficial ownership of Plum Class A ordinary shares prior to the Business Combination is based on 11,236,002 Plum Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding as of , 2024.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Plum Common Stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination assumes two scenarios:

• a “no Redemption” scenario where no Plum Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination; and

• a “maximum Redemption” scenario where all 3,255,593 Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination.

Based on the foregoing assumptions, we estimate that there would be shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “no Redemption” scenario, and shares of New Plum Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination in the “maximum Redemption” scenario. If the actual facts are different from the foregoing assumptions, ownership figures in the combined company and the columns under Post-Business Combination in the table that follows will be different.

The following table does not reflect record of beneficial ownership of any shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Public Warrants or Private Placement Warrants, as such securities are not exercisable or convertible within 60 days of , 2024.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Plum

Founder Shares

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). Up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriter. On April 14, 2021, the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option buying 1,921,634 Units thus reducing the total number of share subject to forfeiture to 644,591. On May 2, 2021, the underwriter’s over-allotment option expired and 644,591 Founder Shares were forfeited to the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until earliest of (A) 180 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, 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 (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up”). Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and the directors and executive officers with respect to any Founder Shares.

Private Placement Warrants

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement, generating gross proceeds of $9,384,327. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to sale of the Private Placement Warrants. The issuance of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Warrants sold in our Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants (including the underlying securities) are subject to certain transfer restrictions and the holders thereof are entitled to certain registration rights, and, if held by the original holder or their permitted assigns, the Warrants (i) may be exercised on a cashless basis and (ii) are not subject to Redemption. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, then the Warrants will be redeemable by Plum and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants included in the Units sold in our Initial Public Offering.

Related Party Loans

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of November 30, 2021, or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. As of December 31, 2022, the Company has no borrowings under the Note. Borrowings under this note are no longer available.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. In the event that a 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 held in 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 Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of

244

Table of Contents

$1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans.

On January 31, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Dinsdale Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Mike Dinsdale. The Dinsdale Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of a Business Combination. The Company may draw on the Dinsdale Note from time to time, in increments of not less than $50,000, until the earlier of March 18, 2023 or the date on which the Company consummates a Business Combination. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Dinsdale Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Mr. Dinsdale shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Dinsdale Note, in whole or in part, into Private Placement Warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant. The Dinsdale Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Dinsdale Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Dinsdale Note becoming immediately due and payable. The Dinsdale Note was issued pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

On July 11, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Burns Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Ursula Burns. The Burns Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial business combination (a “Business Combination”).

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

Plum is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Islands Companies Law. The Cayman Islands Companies Law, Cayman Islands law generally and the Existing Governing Documents govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Law and Cayman Islands law generally differ in some material respects from laws generally applicable to Delaware corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Existing Governing Documents differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Governing Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of New Plum, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of Plum.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of Plum and New Plum according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of Plum and New Plum. You also should review the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws of New Plum attached as Annex C and Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Law, to understand how these laws apply to Plum and New Plum.

|  | Delaware |  | Cayman Islands
Applicable legislation |  | General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. |  | Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised).
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations |  | Mergers generally require approval of a majority of all outstanding shares. Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued generally do not require acquirer stockholder approval. Mergers in which one corporation owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders. |  | Mergers under the Cayman Islands Companies Law require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent. All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval — there is no exception for smaller mergers. Where a bidder in connection with a tender offer/contractual acquisition of equity (i.e. not a statutory merger under Cayman Islands Companies Law) has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder. A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by a Cayman Islands court and approved by those shareholders representing 75% in value of shareholders in attendance and voting at a general meeting.

Stockholder/Shareholder Consent to Action Without Meeting |  | Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, stockholders may act by written consent. |  | Shareholder action by unanimous written resolutions is permitted by the articles of association.
Appraisal Rights |  | Generally a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger except in certain circumstances. |  | Minority shareholders that dissent from a merger are entitled to be paid the fair value of their shares, which if necessary, may ultimately be determined by the court.
Inspection of Books and Records |  | Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business. |  | Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.

A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.
Fiduciary Duties of Directors |  | Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty and good faith to the company and its stockholders. |  | A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise powers for the purposes conferred, exercise independent judgment, not make secret profits, avoid conflicts of interest and act in good faith in the best interests of the company as a whole.

In connection with the reorganization as part of the Business Combination, Plum will amend and restate its governing documents. The following summary of the material terms of New Plum’s securities following the Business Combination is not intended to be a complete summary of the rights and preferences of such securities. The full text of the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws are attached as Annex C and Annex D, respectively, to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are encouraged to read the applicable provisions of Delaware law, the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws in their entirety for a complete description of the rights and preferences of New Plum securities following the Business Combination.

Authorized and Outstanding Capital Stock

The Proposed Charter authorizes the issuance of shares of capital stock, consisting of (i) shares of New Plum Common Stock and (ii) shares of New Plum Preferred Stock.

As of , 2024, the Record Date, Plum had Class A ordinary shares issued and outstanding, which includes 7,980,409 Class A ordinary shares held by the Sponsor. Plum also has issued 12,640,544 Warrants consisting of 6,384,326 Public Warrants and 6,256,218 Private Placement Warrants. After giving effect to the Business Combination, New Plum will have approximately shares of New Plum Common Stock outstanding (assuming no Redemptions).

New Plum Common Stock

Voting Rights

Holders of New Plum Common Stock will be entitled to cast one vote per share of New Plum Common Stock. Generally, holders of all classes of New Plum Common Stock vote together as a single class, and an action is approved by New Plum stockholders if the number of votes cast in favor of the action exceeds the number of votes cast in opposition to the action, subject to certain exceptions, while directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast. Holders of New Plum Common Stock will not be entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

Dividend rights

Subject to the rights of the holders of New Plum Preferred Stock and any other provisions of the Proposed Charter, as it may be amended from time to time, holders of New Plum Common Stock will be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of New Plum when, as and if declared thereon by the New Plum Board, in its discretion, from time to time out of assets or funds of New Plum legally available therefor. See “— Preferred Stock,” below for more information regarding the dividend rights of the holders of New Plum Preferred Stock.

Preferred Stock

The Proposed Charter provides that the New Plum Board has the authority, without action by the stockholders, to designate and issue shares of preferred stock in one or more classes or series, and the number of shares constituting any such class or series, and to fix the voting powers, designations, preferences, limitations, restrictions and relative rights of each class or series of preferred stock, including, without limitation, dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, exchange rights, voting rights, rights and terms of Redemption, dissolution preferences, and treatment in the case of a merger, business combination transaction, or sale of New Plum’s assets, which rights may be greater than the rights of the holders of the common stock. There will be no shares of preferred stock outstanding immediately upon consummation of the Business Combination.

252

Table of Contents

The purpose of authorizing the New Plum Board to issue preferred stock and determine the rights and preferences of any classes or series of preferred stock is to eliminate delays associated with a stockholder vote on specific issuances. The simplified issuance of preferred stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions, future financings and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or could discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, a majority of New Plum outstanding voting stock. Additionally, the issuance of preferred stock may adversely affect the holders of New Plum Common Stock by restricting dividends on the New Plum Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the New Plum Common Stock or subordinating the dividend or liquidation rights of the New Plum Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of New Plum Common Stock.

Warrants

Public Shareholders’ Warrants

There are currently outstanding an aggregate of 6,384,326 Public Warrants, which, following the consummation of the Business Combination, will entitle the holders to acquire 6,384,326 shares of New Plum Common Stock.

Each whole Public Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of New Plum Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing 30 days after the Closing, provided that New Plum has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the New Plum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or New Plum permits holders to exercise their Public 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 Public Warrant holder may exercise its Public Warrants only for a whole number of shares of New Plum Common Stock. This means only a whole Public Warrant may be exercised at a given time by a Public Warrant holder. The Public Warrants will expire five years after the Closing Date, at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, or earlier upon Redemption or liquidation.

New Plum will not be obligated to deliver any shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the shares underlying the Public Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to New Plum satisfying its obligations described below with respect to registration. No Public Warrant will be exercisable and New Plum will not be obligated to issue a share upon exercise of a Public Warrant unless the share issuable upon such Public 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 Public Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Public Warrant, the holder of such Public Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Public Warrant and such Public Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Public Warrant.

Plum is registering the shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants in the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, New Plum will be required to maintain a current prospectus relating to the shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants until the expiration of the Public Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement. If a registration statement covering the shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants is not effective or the prospectus therein is not current by the sixtieth (60th) business day after the Closing, Public Warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when New Plum will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise Public Warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption. Notwithstanding the above, if the shares of New Plum Common Stock are at the time of any exercise of a 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, New Plum may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event it

253

Table of Contents

so elects, New Plum will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event it does not so elect, New Plum will use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Redemption of Public Warrants for cash

Once the Public Warrants become exercisable, New Plum may call the Public Warrants for Redemption for cash:

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per public warrant;

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of Redemption to each Public Warrant holder; and

• if, and only if, the closing price of New Plum Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading-days within a 30 trading-day period ending three (3) business days before we send to the notice of Redemption to the Public Warrant holders.

If and when the Public Warrants become redeemable by us for cash, New Plum 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.

New Plum has established the last of the Redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a Redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the Public Warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and New Plum issues a notice of Redemption of the Public Warrants, each Public Warrant holder will be entitled to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant prior to the scheduled Redemption date. However, the price of New Plum Common Stock may fall below the $18.00 Redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 Public Warrant exercise price after the Redemption notice is issued.

Redemption procedures and cashless exercise

If we call the Public Warrants for Redemption as described above, New Plum will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise his, her or its Public Warrant to do so on a “cashless basis.” In determining whether to require all holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a “cashless basis,” New Plum will consider, among other factors, its cash position, the number of Public Warrants that are outstanding and the dilutive effect on its shareholders of issuing the maximum number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of its Public Warrants. If New Plum takes advantage of this option, all holders of Public Warrants would pay the exercise price by surrendering their Public Warrants for that number of shares of New Plum Common Stock equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock underlying the Public Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” of the New Plum Common Stock over the exercise price of the Public Warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” will mean the average closing price of a share of New Plum Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days ending on the third (3) trading day prior to the date on which the notice of Redemption is sent to the holders of Public Warrants. If New Plum takes advantage of this option, the notice of Redemption will contain the information necessary to calculate the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Public Warrants, including the “fair market value” in such case. Requiring a cashless exercise in this manner will reduce the number of shares to be issued and thereby lessen the dilutive effect of a warrant Redemption. New Plum believes this feature is an attractive option if it does not need the cash from the exercise of the Public Warrants after the Business Combination. If New Plum calls the Public Warrants for Redemption and it does not take advantage of this option, the holders of the Private Placement Warrants and their permitted transferees would still be entitled to exercise their Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis using the same formula described above that other Public Warrant holders would have been required to use had all warrant holders been required to exercise their Warrants on a cashless basis, as described in more detail below.

A holder of a Public Warrant may notify New Plum in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such Public Warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 4.9% or 9.8% (as specified by the holder) of the shares of New Plum Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.

If the number of outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock is increased by a share capitalization payable in New Plum Common Stock, or by a split-up of New Plum Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding New Plum Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of New Plum Common Stock entitling holders to purchase New Plum Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of New Plum Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock 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 New Plum Common Stock) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of New Plum Common Stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of New Plum Common Stock, in determining the price payable for New Plum Common Stock, 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) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of shares of New Plum Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which New Plum Common Stock 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 Public Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of New Plum Common Stock on account of such New Plum Common Stock (or other securities into which the Public Warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above or (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, then the Public 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 share of New Plum Common Stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of common stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of common stock issuable on exercise of each Public Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding share of common stock.

Whenever the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Public 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 shares of New Plum Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Public Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding New Plum Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such New Plum Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of New Plum 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 the outstanding New Plum Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of New Plum as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Public Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Public Warrants and in lieu of New Plum Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of common stock 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 Public Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their Public Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of common stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of common stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted

255

Table of Contents

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 Public Warrant properly exercises the Public Warrant within thirty (30) days following public disclosure of such transaction, the Public 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 Public Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the Public Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the Public Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the Public Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the Public Warrants.

The Public Warrants were issued in registered form under a Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and Plum. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Public Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, and that all other modifications or amendments will require the vote or written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Public Warrants, and, solely with respect to any amendment to the terms of Warrants we may issue in connection with the Business Combination or any other business combination, or Post-IPO Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), at least 50% of the then outstanding Post-IPO Warrants. You should review a copy of the Warrant Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, for a complete description of the terms and conditions applicable to the Warrants.

The Public Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the Public 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 Public 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 Public Warrants being exercised. The Public Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of New Plum Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Public Warrants and receive common stock. After the issuance of New Plum Common Stock upon exercise of the Public Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by shareholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Public Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, New Plum will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of New Plum Common Stock to be issued to the Public Warrant holder.

New Plum has agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against New Plum 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 New Plum irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. See “Risk Factors — The Warrant Agreement 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 its Warrants, which could limit the ability of Warrant holders to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with Plum.” This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum.

Private Placement Warrants

The Private Placement Warrants (including New Plum Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the Closing (except, among other limited exceptions, to Plum officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the Sponsor). The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, as described above.

Quorum; Voting

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote there at, present in-person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business except as otherwise required by law or provided by the Proposed Charter. If, however, such quorum will not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairperson or holders of a

256

Table of Contents

majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum will be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum will be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting. If after the adjournment a new Record Date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the New Plum Board shall fix as the Record Date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record as of the Record Date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Except as otherwise provided by statute or by applicable stock exchange rules, or by the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the subject matter will be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws, directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast by shareholders present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting.

Registration Rights

At the Closing, Plum, the Sponsor and certain other security holders of New Plum (the “New Plum Holders”) and certain of their respective affiliates, as applicable, and the other parties thereto, will enter into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, New Plum will agree to register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of New Plum Common Stock and other equity securities of New Plum that are held by the parties thereto from time to time, and the Sponsor, New Plum Holders and the other parties thereto will be granted certain registration rights, on the terms and subject to the conditions therein. See “Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

The Sponsor and such holders will be granted certain customary registration rights, demand rights and piggyback rights with respect to their respective shares of New Plum Common Stock. For additional information, see “Business Combination Proposal — Related Agreements — Registration Rights Agreement.”

Exclusive Forum

The Proposed Charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless New Plum otherwise consents in writing, the Court of Chancery shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Plum, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of New Plum to New Plum or New Plum’s stockholders, (c) any action asserting a claim against New Plum, its directors, officers or employees arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws, (d) any action to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of any provisions of the Proposed Charter or the Proposed Bylaws or (e) any action asserting a claim against New Plum, its directors, officers or employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the exclusive forum for the resolution of any action, suit or proceeding asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws and Applicable Law

Certain provisions of the Proposed Charter, the Proposed Bylaws, and laws of the State of Delaware, where New Plum will be incorporated following the Domestication, may discourage or make more difficult a takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in his or her best interest. These provisions may also adversely affect prevailing market prices for New Plum Common Stock. Plum believes that the benefits of increased protection give

257

Table of Contents

New Plum the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure New Plum and outweigh the disadvantage of discouraging those proposals because negotiation of the proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply if and so long as New Plum Common Stock remains listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of New Plum Common Stock. Additional shares that may be used in the future may be issued for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital, or to facilitate acquisitions. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Plum by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger, or otherwise.

Terms of Office of Directors

The Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws provide that, subject to any rights of holders of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and Class III, as nearly equal in number as possible. Class I directors shall initially serve until the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial effectiveness of the Proposed Charter (the “Classification Effective Time”); Class II directors shall initially serve until the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Effective Time; and Class III directors shall initially serve until the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Effective Time. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Effective Time, directors of each class the term of which shall then expire shall be elected to hold office for a three-year term and until the election and qualification of their respective successors in office. The Proposed Charter authorizes the New Plum Board to assign members of the New Plum Board already in office to Class I, Class II or Class III, with such assignment becoming effective as of the Classification Effective Time. Any such director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

The Proposed Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the New Plum Board or a committee of the New Plum Board. In order to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder will have to comply with advance notice requirements and provide New Plum with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at New Plum’s principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. The Proposed Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may also defer, delay, or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of New Plum.

Limitations on Stockholder Action by Written Consent

The Proposed Charter provides that, subject to the terms of any series of New Plum Preferred Stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of New Plum must be effected at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by written consent in lieu of a meeting.

Amendment of the Proposed Charter and New Plum Bylaws

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s charter, unless the charter requires a greater percentage. The Proposed Charter provides that the number of authorized shares of any of New Plum

258

Table of Contents

Common Stock or New Plum Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding stock of New Plum entitled to vote thereon irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL.

The Proposed Charter provides that it may be amended by New Plum in the manners provided therein or prescribed by statute. Generally, under the DGCL, the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the then-outstanding shares of capital stock of New Plum entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, will be required to amend or repeal, or adopt any provision of the Charter; provided that certain provisions that require a supermajority vote under the Proposed Charter. The Proposed Charter provides that that the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the voting power of all of the then outstanding shares of voting stock of New Plum is required for amendments of certain provisions of the Proposed Charter relating to: (i) classification and election of our Board, removal of directors from office, and filling vacancies on New Plum Board, (ii) actions taken by the stockholders of New Plum, (iii) exculpation of personal liability of a director of New Plum and indemnification of persons serving as directors or officers of New Plum, (iv) forum for certain legal actions, (v) renunciation of certain corporate opportunities, and (vi) amendments to the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws.

The Proposed Charter also provides that the New Plum Board shall have the power to make, repeal, alter, amend and rescind, in whole or in part, the Proposed Bylaws without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Proposed Charter. The holders of at least two-thirds (66⅔%) of the voting power of the outstanding shares of New Plum Common Stock entitled to vote at an election of directors, voting together as a single class shall also have the power to alter, amend or repeal, in whole or in part, any provision of the Proposed Bylaws or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

Business Combinations

Under Section 203 of the DGCL, a corporation will not be permitted to engage in a business combination with any interested stockholder for a period of three (3) years following the time that such interested stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

(1) prior to such time the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

(2) upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned (i) by persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

(3) at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66⅔% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, owns, or within the previous three (3) years owned, 15% or more of New Plum’s outstanding voting stock. For purposes of this section only, “voting stock” has the meaning given to it in Section 203 of the DGCL.

Since New Plum has not opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, it will apply to New Plum. As a result, this provision will make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with New Plum for a three (3) year period. This provision may encourage companies interested in acquiring New Plum to negotiate in advance with the New Plum Board because the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the New Plum Board approves either the business combination or the

259

Table of Contents

transaction which results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in New Plum Board and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the charter specifically authorizes cumulative voting. The Proposed Charter does not authorize cumulative voting.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors of corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Proposed Charter includes a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director where, in civil proceedings, the person acted in good faith and in a manner that person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of New Plum or, in criminal proceedings, where the person had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.

The Proposed Bylaws provide that New Plum must indemnify and advance expenses to New Plum’s directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. New Plum also is expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for New Plum directors, officers, and certain employees for some liabilities. New Plum believes that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, advancement and indemnification provisions in the Proposed Charter and Proposed Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit New Plum and its stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent New Plum pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officer pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of Plum or Veea’s directors, officers, or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal and Payment

Under the DGCL, with certain exceptions, New Plum’s stockholders will have appraisal rights in connection with a merger or consolidation of New Plum. Pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders who properly request and perfect appraisal rights in connection with such merger or consolidation will have the right to receive payment of the fair value of their shares as determined by the Court of Chancery.

Stockholders’ Derivative Actions

Under the DGCL, any of New Plum’s stockholders may bring an action in New Plum’s name to procure a judgment in New Plum’s favor, also known as a derivative action, provided that the stockholder bringing the action is a holder of New Plum’s shares at the time of the transaction to which the action relates or such stockholder’s stock thereafter devolved by operation of law.

Transfer Agent and Registrar; Warrant Agent

The Transfer Agent and registrar for New Plum capital stock and the warrant agent for New Plum Warrants will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing of Common Stock and Warrants

Application will be made for the shares of New Plum Common Stock and New Plum Warrants to be approved for listing on Nasdaq under the symbols “ ” and “ W”, respectively.

SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF New Plum COMMON STOCK

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted New Plum Common Stock for at least six (6) months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of New Plum at the time of, or at any time during the three (3) months preceding, a sale and (ii) New Plum is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the twelve months (or such shorter period as New Plum was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted New Plum Common Stock shares for at least six (6) months but who are affiliates of New Plum at the time of, or at any time during the three (3) 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 New Plum Common Stock then outstanding; or

• the average weekly reported trading volume of the New Plum Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of New Plum under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about New Plum.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

• the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

• the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

• the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve (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 (1) 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.

We anticipate that following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Plum will no longer be a shell company, and as a result, 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.

As a result, it is anticipated that the Sponsor will be able to sell its Private Placement Warrants, and any shares of New Plum Common Stock received as a result thereof, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed the Business Combination.

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

Stockholder Proposals

The Proposed Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders. New Plum’s Proposed Bylaws provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders is business that is (i) specified in the notice of such meeting (or any supplement thereto), (ii) by or at the direction of New Plum’s Board or the chairperson of the meeting, or (iii) otherwise properly brought before such meeting by a stockholder who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice and at the time of the annual meeting, is a stockholder of record who is entitled to vote at such meeting who has complied with the notice procedures specified in New Plum’s Proposed Bylaws. To be timely for New Plum’s annual meeting of stockholders, New Plum’s secretary must receive the written notice at New Plum’s principal executive offices:

• not later than close of business on the 90th day; and

• not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day before the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.

In the event that no annual meeting was held in the previous year (as would be the case for New Plum’s 2023 annual meeting) or New Plum holds its annual meeting of stockholders more than 30 days before or 70 days after the one-year anniversary of a preceding year’s annual meeting, notice of a stockholder proposal must be received no later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Proposed Bylaws. The New Plum Board or a designated committee thereof will have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any other business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with these procedures. If neither the New Plum Board nor such designated committee makes a determination as to whether any nomination was made in accordance with the provisions of the Proposed Bylaws, the presiding officer at the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting. If any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance, the Board or a designated committee thereof or the presiding officer, as applicable, may declare that such defective proposal or nomination can be disregarded.

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, a shareholder proposal to be included in the proxy statement and proxy card for the 2024 annual general meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must be received at our principal office a reasonable time before New Plum begins to print and send out its proxy materials for such 2024 annual meeting.

Stockholder Director Nominees

New Plum’s Proposed Bylaws permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual general meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by New Plum’s Proposed Bylaws. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to New Plum’s secretary in accordance with New Plum’s Proposed Bylaws, which, in general, require that the notice be received by New Plum’s secretary within the time periods described above under “— Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals.

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

Plum is a Cayman Islands exempted company. If Plum does not change its jurisdiction of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Delaware by effecting the Domestication, you may have difficulty serving legal process within the United States upon Plum. You may also have difficulty enforcing, both in and outside the United States, judgments you may obtain in U.S. courts against Plum in any action, including actions based upon the civil liability provisions of U.S. federal or state securities laws. Furthermore, there is doubt that the courts of the Cayman Islands would enter judgments in original actions brought in those courts predicated on U.S. federal or state securities laws. However, Plum may be served with process in the United States with respect to actions against Plum arising out of or in connection with violation of U.S. federal securities laws relating to offers and sales of Plum’s securities by serving Plum’s U.S. agent irrevocably appointed for that purpose.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Transfer Agent for Plum’s securities is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of
Plum Acquisition Corp. I

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Plum Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 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, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 more fully described in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company’s business plan is dependent upon the consummation of a business combination and it lacks the financial resources it needs to sustain operations for a reasonable period of time, which is considered to be one year from the issuance date of the financial statements. Further, if the Company does not complete a business combination by June 18, 2024 or obtain approval for an extension of this deadline, it will be required to cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do 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 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 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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 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 Company’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 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 audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

NOTE 1 — ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Plum Acquisition Corp. I (the “Company” or “Plum”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on January 11, 2021. The Company was incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses or entities (the “Business Combination”). The Company will not be limited to a particular industry or geographic region in its identification and acquisition of a target company. The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies. As previously reported, on November 27, 2023 The Company executed a Business Combination Agreement with Veea Inc. The Company and Veea are working toward closing their Business Combination.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from January 11, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“IPO”), which is described below, and subsequent to the Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for a business combination. The Company believes it 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 investments in the Company’s Trust account and will recognize changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities as other income (expense).

The Company’s Sponsor is Plum Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s IPO was declared effective on March 15, 2021 (the “Effective Date”). On March 18, 2021, the Company consummated the initial public offering (the “Public Offering” or “IPO”) of 30,000,000 units (the “Units), at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $300,000,000, which is discussed in Note 3.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the sale of 6,000,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, which is discussed in Note 4. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, generating gross proceeds of $9,000,000, which is described in Note 4.

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from March 18, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions.

The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option on April 14, 2021 and purchased 1,921,634 Units at $10.00 per Unit. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on April 14, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsor for an aggregate of 256,218 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $384,327. On April 14, 2021, $19,216,340, net of the underwriter discount, was deposited in the Company’s Trust account.

A total of $19,216,340 was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee. Transaction costs of the IPO and the exercise of the over-allotment option amounted to $18,336,269 consisting of $6,384,327 of underwriting discount, $11,172,572 of deferred underwriting discount, and $779,370 of other offering costs. Of the transaction costs, $538,777 is included in transaction costs on consolidated the statements of operations and $17,797,492 is included in consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ deficit.

Following the closing of the Public Offering on March 18, 2021 and the partial exercise of the underwriter’s over-allotment option, $319,216,340 (approximately $10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Public Offering, including the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, was deposited in a trust account (“Trust Account”) located in the United States at Goldman Sachs, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and was invested in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invests 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 (1) to the Company, until the completion of our initial Business Combination, or (2) to the Public

Shareholders, until the earliest of (i) the completion of the initial Business Combination, and then only in connection with those Class A ordinary shares that such shareholders properly elected to redeem, subject to the limitations described herein, (ii) the redemption of any public shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of its Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the public shares if the Company does not complete its initial Business Combination within the combination period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, and (iii) the redemption of the public shares if the Company has not consummated its Business Combination within the Combination Period, subject to applicable law. Public Shareholders who redeem their Class A ordinary shares in connection with a shareholder vote described in clause (ii) in the preceding sentence shall not be entitled to funds from the Trust Account upon the subsequent completion of an initial Business Combination or liquidation if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period, with respect to such Class A ordinary shares so redeemed. 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 (as defined below).

The Company will provide shareholders (the “Public Shareholders”) of its Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001, sold in the IPO (the “Public Shares”), with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the 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 Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of the initial Business Combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s taxes, if any, divided by the number of then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to certain limitations. The amount in the Trust Account is initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share. These Public Shares have been classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the IPO in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company receives the approval of an ordinary resolution.

The Company will have until June 18, 2024, to complete an initial Business Combination. However, if the Company is unable to complete a 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 and not previously released to the Company to pay its taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

Extraordinary General Meeting and Redemption of Shares

On March 15, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders (1) to amend Plum’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the “Articles”) to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which Plum has to consummate a business combination (the “Articles Extension”) from March 18, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 18, 2023 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow Plum, without

another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of Plum’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 18, 2024, or a total of up to twelve months after the Articles Extension Date, unless the closing of Plum’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (2) to amend the Articles to eliminate from the Articles the limitation that Plum may not redeem Class A ordinary shares to the extent that such redemption would result in Plum having net tangible assets (as determined in accordance with Rule 3a 51-1(g)(1)of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of less than $5,000,001 (the “Redemption Limitation”) in order to allow Plum to redeem Public Shares irrespective of whether such redemption would exceed the Redemption Limitation (the “Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal”). The shareholders of Plum approved the Extension Amendment Proposal and the Redemption Limitation Amendment Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on March 15, 2023, Plum filed the amendment to the Articles with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

In connection with the vote to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal, the holders of 26,693,416 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.23 per share, for an aggregate Redemption amount of $273,112,311.62.

The Sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to (i) waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, (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 amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (A) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of the Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with the initial Business Combination or to redeem 100% of its public shares if the Company does not complete our initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A ordinary shares, (iii) waive their rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to any Founder Shares they hold if the Company fails to consummate an 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 their Founder Shares and public shares in favor of our initial Business Combination.

On September 13, 2023, Plum held an Extraordinary General Meeting of its Shareholders (“September Shareholder Meeting”) (1) to amend the Articles to extend Articles Extension Termination Date from the Articles Extension Date to December 18, 2023 (the “Second Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after the Second Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until June 18, 2024, or a total of up to nine months after the Termination Date, unless the closing of the Company’s initial business combination shall have occurred prior to such date (the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”) and (2) to authorize a reduction in the funds held in the Trust Account to an amount equal to $20,000,000.00 (the “Trust Reduction”), which amount will be used to compulsorily redeem up to 3,228,218 Public Shares at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the redemption date, including interest (which interest shall be net of taxes payable), divided by the number of then-outstanding public shares (“Trust Reduction Proposal”). The shareholders of the Company approved the Second Extension Amendment Proposal and the Trust Reduction Proposal at the Shareholder Meeting and on September 13, 2023, the Company filed the amendment to the Articles with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands.

In connection with the vote to approve the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, (i) the Sponsor, as the sole holder of Class B Ordinary Shares, voluntarily elected to convert all Class B Ordinary Shares to Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Class B Conversion”) and (ii) the holders of 1,972,625 Class A ordinary shares properly exercised their right to redeem their

shares for cash at a redemption price of $10.72 per share, for an aggregate redemption amount of $21,142,260.78 (the “Redemption”). Upon completion of the Class B Conversion and the Redemption, 7,980,409 shares of Class A common stock, excluding 3,255,593 shares of Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption, and no shares of Class B common stock remain issued and outstanding.

As approved by its stockholders at the extraordinary general meeting (the “EGM”), the Company filed an Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “A&R Charter”) on October 25, 2023, which (i) extended the date by which the Company has to consummate a business combination to December 18, 2023 and (ii) allowed the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date (as defined in the Proxy Statement) to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to six times by an additional one month each time after December 18, 2023 (or such shorter period as necessary to comply with applicable listing requirements), by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by Plum Partners, LLC, and upon five days advance notice prior to the applicable termination date, until June 18, 2024, or a total of up to nine months after September 18, 2023, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto.

An aggregate of 1,972,625 Class A ordinary shares of the Company were tendered for redemption in connection with the shareholders’ vote at the EGM.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern

The Company’s liquidity needs up to March 18, 2021 had been satisfied through a capital contribution from the Sponsor of $25,000 (see Note 5) for the Founder Shares. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Company’s Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to provide the Company Working Capital Loans (see Note 5). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had $1,000,000 outstanding under Working Capital Loans.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $94,703 in its operating bank account and a working capital deficit $7,590,471.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements — Going Concern”, management has determined that the Company has and will continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of its acquisition plans which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Accounts. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Further, management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by June 18, 2024 (the “Combination Period”), then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution as well as the Company’s working capital deficit raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the Combination Period. The Company intends to complete a Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date.

NOTE 2 — RESTATEMENT OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Restatement Background

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2023, management determined it should restate its previously reported condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023. The Company previously accounted for its subscription liability as a liability classified derivative instrument which resulted in the Company remeasuring the derivative instrument at fair value at each reporting period with the changes in fair value recorded within earnings. The need for the restatement arose out of the results of certain financial analysis the Company performed in the course of preparing a response to a comment letter received by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 1, 2024, related to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed January 5, 2024. As a result of this analysis, the Company concluded that the transaction underlying the subscription liability was representative of the issuance of multiple freestanding instruments in a bundled transaction which should not have been remeasured at fair value at each reporting period and should have been accounted for using the relative fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC 470 as previously concluded during the Company’s assessment of the Subscription Agreement. The error occurred as a result of the lack of certain financial analysis and management review in the course of preparing its consolidated financial statements during the periods previously identified above. As a result of the error, the subscription liability and corresponding debt discount recorded within the condensed consolidated balance sheets was overstated, and the change in fair value recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulted in the recognition of additional (expense) and income for certain periods as identified above. This resulted in an adjustment to the carrying value of debt discount, net of amortization, subscription liability, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit on the condensed balance sheet with the offset recorded to change in fair value of subscription liability and interest expense — debt discount on the condensed statement of operations.

In connection with the changes listed above, the Company also restated its earnings per share.

The restatement had no impact on the Company’s cash position or amount held in the trust account.

The relevant unaudited interim financial information for the quarterly periods ended March 30, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, is included in Note 11, Quarterly Financial Information (Unaudited). The categories of misstatements and their impact on the previously issued financial statements are described in more detail in the tables below.

As previously disclosed, the Company determined that its subscription liability, net of debt discount as of the aforementioned periods had been misstated. The Company concluded that the impact of applying correction for these errors and misstatements on the aforementioned financial statements is material.

Description of Misstatements

Misstatements Associated with Subscription Liability

(a) Subscription liability

The Company previously accounted for its subscription liability as a liability classified derivative instrument which resulted in the Company remeasuring the derivative instrument at fair value at each reporting period with the changes in fair value recorded within earnings. However, the subscription liability should not have been remeasured at fair value at each reporting period and should have been accounted for using the relative fair value method of accounting in accordance with ASC 470. The subscription liability recorded within the condensed consolidated balance sheets was overstated, and the change in fair value recorded within the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulted in the recognition of additional (expense) and income for certain periods as identified above.

(b) Debt discount

The debt discount corresponding to the subscription liability recorded within the condensed consolidated balance sheets was overstated, and the amortization of the debt discount within the condensed consolidated statements of operations resulted in the recognition of additional (expense) and income for certain periods as identified above.

(c) Additional paid-in capital

The correction of the subscription liability resulted in an increase in additional paid-in capital.

(d) Accumulated deficit

The correction of the subscription liability and debt discount resulted in additional (expense) and income for certain periods as identified above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated 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”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Merger Sub I and Merger Sub II. There has been no intercompany activity since inception.

Emerging Growth Company

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 independent registered public accounting firm 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 stockholder 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 consolidated 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 the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the subscription and forward purchase agreements and warrants 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.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

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.

Investments Held in Trust Account

At December 31, 2023 and 2022, funds held in the Trust Account include $35,555,976 and $323,911,642, respectively, of investments held in a money market fund characterized as Level 1 investments within the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 (as defined below). The Company classifies its money market fund as trading securities in accordance with ASC 320 “Investments — Debt and Equity Securities.”

Convertible Promissory Note

The Company accounts for its convertible promissory note under ASC 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). Under 815-15-25, the election can be at the inception of a financial instrument to account for the instrument under the fair value option under ASC 825, “Financial Instruments” (“ASC 825”). The Company has made such election for its convertible promissory note. Using fair value option, the convertible promissory note is required to be recorded at its initial fair value on the date of issuance and each balance sheet date thereafter. Differences between the face value of the note and fair value at issuance are recognized as either an expense in the consolidated statements of operations (if issued at a premium) or as a capital contribution (if issued at a discount). Changes in the estimated fair value of the notes are recognized as non-cash gains or losses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the federal depository insurance coverage of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such accounts.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that features 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, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A ordinary shares features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, 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 consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the ordinary shares subject to possible redemption reflected on the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 319,216,340 |
Plus: |  |  |  |
Accretion adjustment of carrying value to redemption value |  |  | 4,695,302 |

Accretion adjustment of carrying value to redemption value |  |  | 5,898,906 |
Ordinary shares subject to possible redemption, December 31, 2023 |  | $ | 35,555,976 |

Offering Costs

The Company complies with the requirements of 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. Offering costs are charged to shareholders’ deficit or the consolidated statements of operations based on the relative value of the Warrants to the proceeds received from the Units sold upon the completion of the IPO.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, (excluding the promissory note and Warrants) which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets.

Warrant Liabilities

The Company accounts for the Warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the specific terms of the Warrants and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the Warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the Warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the holders of the Warrants could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of issuance of the Warrants and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the Warrants are outstanding. For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, such warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, liability-classified warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of such warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company accounts for the Public and Private warrants in accordance with guidance contained in ASC 815-40. Such guidance provides that because the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment thereunder, each warrant must be recorded as a liability (See Note 6).

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Forward Purchase Agreement

The Company evaluated the forward purchase agreement (“FPA”) to determine if such instrument is a derivative or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging” (“ASC 815”). The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, will be re-assessed at the end of each reporting period. The 2,500,000 forward purchase securities were recognized as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized the forward purchase securities as a liability at its fair value and adjust the instrument to its fair value at each reporting period. The liability will be subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised. The fair value of the forward purchase securities is measured using a Probability Weighted Expected Return Model that values the FPA based on future projections of various potential outcomes.

On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice (the “Notice”) from Sakuu Corporation (“Sakuu”), that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023, and in light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated.

Subscription Agreements

The Company analyzed its Subscription Agreements (as described in Note 6 and Note 9) under ASC 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” and ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging” and concluded that, (i) the Subscription Shares issuable under the Subscription Agreements are not required to be accounted for as a liability under ASC 480 or ASC 815, and (ii) bifurcation of a single derivative that comprises all of the fair value of the Subscription Share feature(s) (i.e., derivative instrument(s)) is not necessary under ASC 815-15-25-7 through 25-10. As a result, all debt proceeds received from Polar and Palmeira have been recorded using the relative fair value method of accounting under ASC 470 “Debt”. As of December 31, 2023, the Sponsor received an aggregate of $2,359,975 under the Subscription Agreements of which $1,960,944 was funded to the Company.

Pursuant to ASC 470, the Company recorded the fair value of the subscription liability on the consolidated balance sheets using the relative fair value method and the related amortization of the debt discount on its consolidated statements of operations. The initial fair value of the subscription liability at issuance was estimated using a Black Scholes and Probability Weighted Expected Return Model.

Fair Value Measurements

FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”) defines fair value, the methods used to measure fair value and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between the buyer and the seller at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the valuation techniques consistent with the market approach, income approach and cost approach shall be used to measure fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy for inputs, which represent the assumptions used by the buyer and seller in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are further defined as observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs are those that buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the inputs that the buyer and seller would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Table of Contents

PLUM ACQUISITION CORP. I

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

NOTE 3 — SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

The fair value hierarchy is categorized into three levels based on the inputs as follows:

|  | Level 1 — |  | Valuations based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Valuation adjustments and block discounts are not being applied. Since valuations are based on quoted prices that are readily and regularly available in an active market, valuation of these securities does not entail a significant degree of judgment.
|  | Level 2 — |  | Valuations based on (i) quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, (ii) quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets, (iii) inputs other than quoted prices for the assets or liabilities, or (iv) inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by market through correlation or other means.
|  | Level 3 — |  | Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

The fair value of the Company’s certain assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and promissory note to related parties are estimated to approximate the carrying values as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 due to the short maturities of such instruments. See Note 7 for additional information on assets and liabilities measured at fair value.

Income Taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” ASC Topic 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. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and 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 accrued for 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.

The Company is considered to be an Cayman Islands exempted company with no connection to any other taxable jurisdiction and is presently not subject to income taxes or income tax filing requirements in the Cayman Islands or the United States. As such, the Company’s tax provision was zero for the periods presented. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net (Loss) Income per Ordinary Share

The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” The Company has two classes of shares, which are referred to as Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Earnings and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The potential 12,640,544 ordinary shares for outstanding warrants to purchase the Company’s shares were excluded from diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 because the warrants are contingently exercisable, and the

contingencies have not yet been met. As a result, diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share is the same as basic net (loss) income per ordinary share for the period. The table below presents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used to compute basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for each class of ordinary share:

Recent Accounting Standards

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 consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 4 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On March 18, 2021, the Company sold 30,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

On April 14, 2021, the Company sold an additional 1,921,634 Units at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit, each consisting of one Class A ordinary share and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

NOTE 4 — INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING (cont.)

All of the 31,921,634 Class A ordinary share sold as part of the Units in the IPO contain a redemption feature which allows for the redemption of such public shares in connection with the Company’s liquidation, if there is a shareholder vote or tender offer in connection with the Business Combination and in connection with certain amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In accordance with SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC 480-10-S99, redemption provisions not solely within the control of the Company require ordinary share subject to redemption to be classified outside of permanent equity.

The Class A ordinary share is subject to SEC and its staff’s guidance on redeemable equity instruments, which has been codified in ASC480-10-S99. If it is probable that the equity instrument will become redeemable, the Company has the option to either accrete changes in the redemption value over the period from the date of issuance (or from the date that it becomes probable that the instrument will become redeemable, if later) to the earliest redemption date of the instrument or to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur. Immediately upon the closing of the IPO, the Company recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount value. The change in the carrying value of redeemable ordinary share resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

NOTE 5 — PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Sponsor purchased an aggregate of 6,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, for an aggregate purchase price of $9,000,000, in a private placement. Simultaneously with the issuance and sale of the Units on April 14, 2021, the Company consummated the private placement with the Sponsor for an aggregate of 256,218 warrants to purchase Class A Ordinary Shares for $1.50 per warrant generating total proceeds of $384,327. A portion of the proceeds from the private placements were added to the proceeds from the IPO held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless.

The Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in the IPO. The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination (except pursuant to limited exceptions to the Company’s officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants) and they will not be redeemable by the Company so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis.

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 sold in the IPO.

NOTE 6 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000, or approximately $0.003 per share, to cover certain offering costs in consideration for 8,625,000 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Founder Shares”). Up to 1,125,000 Founder Shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the over-allotment option was not

exercised in full by the underwriter. On April 14, 2021 the underwriter partially exercised its over-allotment option buying 1,921,634 Units thus reducing the total number of share subject to forfeiture to 644,591. On May 2, 2021 the underwriter’s over-allotment option expired and 644,591 Founder Shares were forfeited to the Company.

The Sponsor and the Company’s directors and executive officers have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until earliest of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, 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 (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property (the “Lock-up”). Any permitted transferees would be subject to the same restrictions and other agreements of the Sponsor and the directors and executive officers with respect to any Founder Shares.

Promissory Note — Related Party

On January 13, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the IPO pursuant to a promissory note. This loan is non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of November 30, 2021 or the completion of the IPO. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has no borrowings under the Note. Borrowings under this note are no longer available.

On March 16, 2023, Plum issued an unsecured promissory note in the total principal amount of up to $250,000 (the “Promissory Note”) to Mr. Kanishka Roy, individually and as a member of Plum Partners LLC. Mr. Roy funded the initial principal amount of $250,000 on March 14, 2023. The Promissory Note does not bear interest and matures upon the consummation of Plum’s initial business combination with one or more businesses or entities. In the event Plum does not consummate a business combination, the Promissory Note will be repaid upon Plum’s liquidation only from amounts remaining outside of Plum’s trust account, if any. The Promissory Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Promissory Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Promissory Note becoming immediately due and payable. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has $250,000 and $0 borrowings under the Note.

Working Capital Loans

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors, and third parties have committed to loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company will repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to it. In the event that a 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 held in 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 Private Placement Warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. Except as set forth above, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Prior to the completion of the initial Business Combination, the Company does not expect to seek loans from parties other than the Sponsor its affiliates or any members of the Company’s management team as the Company does not believe third parties will be willing to loan such funds and provide a waiver against any and all rights to seek access to funds in the Company’s Trust Account.

On January 31, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Mike Dinsdale (the “Payee”). The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The Company may draw on the Note from time to

If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Payee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants (as defined in that certain Warrant Agreement, dated March 18, 2021, by and between the Company and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company), at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Note becoming immediately due and payable.

On July 11, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “Second Note”) in the principal amount of $500,000 to Ursula Burns (the “Second Payee”). The Note does not bear interest and is repayable in full upon consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. Up to fifty percent (50%) of the principal of the Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option prior to August 25, 2022 and any or all of the remaining undrawn principal of the Note may be drawn down from time to time at the Company’s option after August 25, 2022, in each case in increments of not less than $50,000. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination, the Second Note shall not be repaid and all amounts owed under it will be forgiven. Upon the consummation of a Business Combination, the Second Payee shall have the option, but not the obligation, to convert the principal balance of the Second Note, in whole or in part, into private placement warrants, at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant. The Second Note is subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which automatically trigger the unpaid principal balance of the Second Note and all other sums payable with regard to the Second Note becoming immediately due and payable.

The Note and Second Note are reported at cost in the consolidated financial statements as the fair value adjustment associated with the conversion is deemed to be immaterial.

In connection with the Subscription Agreements (as described below), the Company issued unsecured promissory notes (“Convertible Promissory Notes”), dated as of March 17, 2023, July 25, 2023, October 18, 2023, and November 12, 2023, in the principal amount of up to $1,500,000, $1,090,000, $340,000, and $800,000, respectively, to Sponsor, which may be drawn down by the Company from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination. The Convertible Promissory Notes do not bear interest, matures on the date of consummation of the Business Combination and is subject to customary events of default. The Convertible Promissory Notes will be repaid only to the extent that the Company has funds available to it outside of its trust account established in connection with its initial public offering and is convertible into private placement warrants of the Company at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the Sponsor. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has evaluated the accounting treatment of the convertible notes under ASC 815. The Company has determined that the conversion feature would be the only consideration to be provided to Sponsor if Sponsor exercises the conversion feature. As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of the conversion feature embedded in the Convertible Promissory Note has been determined to have de minis value.

NOTE 7 — WARRANTS

The Public Warrants will become exercisable at $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment, at any time commencing 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination; provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits 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. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of a Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, it will use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, and the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the same to become effective within 60 business days after the closing of the initial Business Combination, and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those Class A ordinary shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement, provided that if the Class A ordinary shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60 th day after the closing of the initial Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another Exemption, but the Company will use its commercially reasonably 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 warrants for that number of Class A ordinary shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of

NOTE 7 — WARRANTS (cont.)

Class A ordinary shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the 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.

In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle any warrant. In the event that a registration statement is not effective for the exercised warrants, the purchaser of a unit containing such warrant will have paid the full purchase price for the unit solely for the Class A ordinary share underlying such unit.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $18.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

• in whole and not in part;

• at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

• upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

• if, and only if, the last reported sale price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Class A Ordinary Share Equals or Exceeds $10.00

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants:

• in whole and not in part;

• at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A ordinary shares (as defined above);

• if, and only if, the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant) for any 20 trading days within the 30-trading day period ending three trading days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders; and

• if the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders is less than $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant), the Private Placement Warrants must also be concurrently called for redemption on the same terms as the outstanding public warrants, as described above.

In addition, if (x) the Company issues additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities for capital raising purposes in connection with the closing of the initial Business Combination at an issue price or effective issue price of less than $9.20 per ordinary share (with such issue price or effective issue price to be determined in good faith by the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of any such issuance to the Sponsor or its affiliates, without taking into account any Founder Shares held by the Sponsor or such affiliates, as applicable, prior to such

NOTE 8 — RECURRING FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Investments Held in Trust Account

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the investments in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of approximately $35.6 million and $323.9 million in U.S. Money Market funds, respectively. The Company considers all investments with original maturities of more than three months but less than one year to be short-term investments.

Fair values of the Company’s investments are classified as Level 1 utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s permitted investments consist of U.S. Money Market funds. Fair values of these investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets. The Company’s initial value of the warrant liability was based on a valuation model utilizing management judgment and pricing inputs from observable and unobservable markets with less volume and transaction frequency than active markets and classified as level 3. The subsequent measurement of the Public Warrants is classified as Level 1 due to the use of an observable market price of these warrants. The subsequent measurement of the Private Warrants is classified as Level 2 because these warrants are economically equivalent to the Public warrants, based on the terms of the Private Warrant agreement, and as such their value is principally derived by the value of the Public Warrants. Significant deviations from these estimates and inputs could result in a material change in fair value. For the year ended December 31, 2023, there were no transfers amongst level 1, 2, and 3 values during the period. At December 31, 2021, the Company reclassified the Public Warrants and Private Warrants from Level 3 to Level 1 and Level 2, respectively.

The FPA liability is measured at fair value using a probability weighted expected return model based on future projections of various potential outcomes. The FPA liability is considered to be a Level 3 financial instrument. On June 15, 2023, the Company received a termination notice from Sakuu, that terminated, effective June 14, 2023, the Business Combination Agreement, dated March 2, 2023. In light of the termination of the Business Combination Agreement, the FPA was also terminated. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 there was no FPA liability outstanding.

The conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Notes, in connection with the Subscription Purchase Agreement, is measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo model that fair values the compound option. The fair value of the conversion feature of the Convertible Promissory Notes was $0 as of December 31, 2023.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company 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.

Forward Purchase Agreement Liability

The estimated fair value of the FPA liability on March 1, 2023 (initial measurement) is determined using Level 3 inputs. The expected term was based on management assumptions regarding the timing and likelihood of completing a business combination. The FPA liability is discounted to net present values using risk free rates. Discount rates were based on current risk-free rates based on the estimated term.

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants and any warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans) will be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration and shareholder rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the IPO. 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 its initial Business Combination. However, the registration and shareholder rights agreement provide that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable Lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, as described in Note 5, and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Warrants and the respective Class A ordinary shares underlying such warrants, 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriter a 45-day option from March 18, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 4,500,000 Units to cover over-allotments, if any, at the IPO price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriter partially exercised the over-allotment option and, on April 14, 2021, the underwriter purchased 1,921,634 Units.

On March 18, 2021, the Company paid the underwriter’s fee of $6,000,000 upon the closing of the IPO. Upon partial exercise of the over-allotment option, the Company paid $384,327 to the underwriter.

In addition, the Underwriting Agreement provides $11,172,572 to be payable to the underwriter for deferred underwriting commissions. However, the underwriter, Goldman Sachs, waived any entitlement it has to such commissions under the Underwriting Agreement.

Waiver of Deferred Underwriting Discount

On January 16, 2023, Goldman Sachs, the underwriter of the Company’s IPO, waived any entitlement it had to its deferred underwriting discount in the amount of $11,172,572. In doing so, Goldman Sachs did not forfeit or waive any claim or right it otherwise has under the Underwriting Agreement dated March 15, 2021.

Service Provider Agreements

From time to time the Company has entered into and may enter into agreements with various services providers and advisors, including investment banks, to help us identify targets, negotiate terms of potential Business Combinations, consummate a Business Combination and/or provide other services. In connection with these agreements, the Company may be required to pay such service providers and advisors fees in connection with their services to the extent that certain conditions, including the closing of a potential Business Combination, are met. If a Business Combination does not occur, the Company would not expect to be required to pay these contingent fees. There can be no assurance that the Company will complete a Business Combination.

Business Combination Agreement

On March 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Business Combination Agreement by and among the Company, Sakuu Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Sakuu”), Merger Sub I, and Merger Sub II. The Business Combination Agreement with Sakuu was terminated on June 14, 2023.

In addition, in the event that the Company has not consummated an initial business combination by the Articles Extension Date (defined below), without approval of the Company’s public shareholders, the Company may, by resolution of the Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date (as defined below), extend the Termination Date up to nine times, each by one additional month (for a total of up to nine additional months to complete a Business Combination), provided that the Lender will deposit into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, the lesser of (A) $160,000 or (B) $0.04 for each Public Share remaining after the Redemption, in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by Plum to the Lender.

In addition, the Company and Sponsor maintain the ability to enter into other agreements with each other or with other parties which shall provide for funding of the Company (through the issuance of equity, entry into promissory notes, or otherwise) outside of Drawdown Requests, provided that the terms of any such agreement between the Company or Sponsor with each other or any party or parties will be no more favorable than the terms under this Agreement;

NOTE 12 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

On January 13, 2024, Rigrodsky Law P.A. sent a demand letter to the Company, purportedly on behalf of a stockholder of the Company, alleging deficiencies in the draft registration statement on Form S-4 filed by the Company, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2024.

On January 31, 2024, the Company received a notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) stating that the Company failed to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(2)(G), the Company has 45 calendar days (or until March 16, 2024) to submit a plan to regain compliance and, if Nasdaq accepts the plan, Nasdaq may grant the Company up to 180 calendar days from its fiscal year end (or until June 28, 2024) to regain compliance. The Company intends to submit a compliance plan within the specified period. While the plan is pending, the Company’s securities will continue to trade on Nasdaq.

On February 10, 2024, the Audit Committee of the Company concluded, after discussion with the Company’s management and accounting professionals, that the Company’s previously-issued unaudited interim financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on May 23, 2023, August 21, 2023, and November 22, 2023, respectively (each an “Affected Period” and, collectively, the “Affected Periods”), should be restated and no longer be relied upon due to misstatements in (i) debt discount subscription liability, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit in the Company’s condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023, and September 30, 2023, and (ii) change in fair value of subscription liability and interest expense – debt discount on the Company’s condensed statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors
of Veea Inc.

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Veea Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholder’s equity (deficit), and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and 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 Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Emphasis of Matter — Revenue Concentration

Approximately 99% of the Company’s 2023 revenue is derived from one customer. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’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 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 audits in accordance with the auditing standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 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 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 Company’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.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to those charged with governance and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

Valuation of Inventory

As described in Note 4, to the financial statements, the Company’s inventory, net at December 31, 2023, was $7.4 million. Inventory consists primarily of finished goods and is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The Company records a provision for aged, obsolete, or unsellable inventory, which can involve a high degree of judgment. The Company annually reviews its inventory and identifies factors which may include future demand, market conditions, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration and quality issues.

The valuation of inventory was identified as a critical audit matter because of the significant assumptions management makes with regards to its valuation of inventory and the increased extent of effort required performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s assumptions and estimates.

The primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included:

• Performed independent test counts of the Company’s physical inventory.

• Obtained an understanding of management’s process over the valuation of inventory.

• Evaluated the reasonableness of the significant assumptions by testing inventory costs based on historical third-party purchases.

• Evaluated the appropriateness of management’s methodologies used, as well as the significant assumptions and inputs, in developing their assessment of net realizable value and their estimated reserve for inventory, by comparing significant assumptions used by management to historical information, independent calculations, evidence obtained in other areas of the audit, recent selling prices and costs.

• Tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations performed along with assessing the completeness and accuracy of the information used in the calculations.

1 — DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Veea Inc. (together with subsidiaries collectively, “Veea” or the “Company”) has developed a Smart platform that is capable of delivering a wide range of services by intelligently connecting everyone and everything that is IoT-enabled, while making it possible for commercial and social connections through its platform to offer more contextual, transactional and relevant data. The Company is a highly differentiated Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) company with a suite of innovative products and services that can serve many of Smart industries at the network edge.

The Company has three wholly owned subsidiaries, Veea Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation Veea Systems Inc., a Delaware corporation and Veea Systems Ltd., a company located in the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The Company is headquartered in New York City with offices in the United States (“U.S.”) and Europe.

On March 24, 2021, the Company formed VeeaSystems SAS (“Veea SAS”), a simplified joint stock company in France. Upon formation, the Company contributed capital totaling €875 (approximately $1,100), which constitutes approximately a 17.5% ownership in Veea SAS. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) contributed capital to constitute an approximately 7% ownership in Veea SAS. In addition, the Company’s CEO is the President of Veea SAS as well as a director. In July 2023, the Company exercised its call options to acquire an additional 24.50% stake in Veea SAS, bringing its total ownership stake in Veea SAS to 42.5%. The call option was exercised for a price of €1 per share. In December, the Company exercised its call options for the remaining 57.5% ownership stake in Veea SAS. Veea SAS is accounted for as a Variable Interest Entity and consolidated as further described within Principles of Consolidation to Note 3 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

On November 28, 2023 the Company and Plum Acquisition Corp. I (“Plum”) (NASDAQ: PLMI), a special purpose acquisition company announced the signing of a definitive business combination agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) in connection with a proposed business combination expected to result in the Company becoming a publicly traded company (such proposed business combination and related transactions, including the issuance by Plum of securities in connection therewith, collectively, the “Business Combination”). The Business Combination is structured as a merger between a wholly-owned subsidiary of Plum, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, following which Plum, after transitioning out of the Cayman Islands and into the State of Delaware to become a Delaware corporation, will be renamed and will continue the business of the Company (referred to herein as the “Combined Company”). The transaction consideration to be issued to securityholders (including holders of outstanding debt and other convertible securities) at the closing of the proposed Business Combination (the “Closing”) will consist of newly-issued Plum securities determined based on a pre-money equity value for the Company’s outstanding equity securities and certain outstanding debt that will be converted into equity at the Closing of approximately $194 million, excluding the proceeds of the issuance of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock. Following the Closing, holders of the Company capital stock as of immediately prior to the Closing (excluding holders of the Company’s Series A-2 Preferred Stock) will have the contingent right to receive up to 4.5 million additional shares of Combined Company common stock if certain trading-price based milestones of the Combined Company’s common stock are achieved during the ten-year period following the Closing, as set forth in the Business Combination Agreement. Proceeds from the proposed Business Combination and financing transactions are expected to support the Combined Company in its business plans.

Current equity holders of the Company are expected to own a majority of the outstanding capital stock of the Combined Company immediately after the Closing and the Company will appoint a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Combined Company in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The parties expect the Business Combination to be consummated during the first half of 2024, following satisfaction of certain closing conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, including, without limitation, approval by shareholders of Plum and stockholders of the Company, the effectiveness of a registration statement to be filed by Plum with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the transaction, the expiration of any HSR Act waiting period and other customary closing conditions.

2 — LIQUIDITY AND MANAGEMENT’S PLAN

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has incurred net losses of $15,638,589 and $35,200,039, respectively, and had an accumulated deficit of $170,282,750 as of December 31, 2023. The Company expects to continue to incur net losses as it continues to grow and scale its business. Historically, the Company’s activities have been financed through private placements of equity securities and debt to related parties. In October 2023, the Company commenced a private placement for the sale of its newly designated Series A-2 Preferred Stock, par value $.00001 per share (the “Series A-2 Preferred Stock”). As of December 31, 2023, the Company has (1) issued 12,660,067 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock in consideration for approximately $18.2 million in cash and the conversion of debt and other outstanding obligations totaling approximately $5 million and (2) received additional subscriptions totaling approximately $2 million for which shares Series A-2 Preferred Stock have not yet been issued as of such date. The Company anticipates raising a minimum of an additional $10,000,000 in cash proceeds from the sales of shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock before the closing of the Business Combination.

In December 2023, the Company signed an agreement with a placement agent for the issuance of up to $125 million of medium-term notes, face amount of 6.5% medium-term notes that would mature in August 2030. Closing of the note offering is subject to customary closing conditions including legal and financial due diligence. The Company expects the offering to close in the second quarter of 2024. Concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination, the Company expects to convert up to approximately $15 million of related party debt to equity concurrently with the consummation of its de-SPAC transaction with Plum. As a result, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to meet its working capital requirements over the next twelve months. If additional funding is required to execute the Company’s business plan, the Company expects to seek to obtain that additional funding through a combination of private equity offerings, debt financings or a combination thereof. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The Company consolidates a variable interest entity (“VIE”) when the Company possesses both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

Use of Estimates

Management of the Company is required to make certain estimates, judgments, and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that these estimates, judgments and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates, judgments, and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Changes in such estimates could affect amounts reported in future periods. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates and judgments including those related to: liquidity and going concern, the useful lives and recoverability of property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets; the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets; the carrying value of accounts receivable, including the determination of the allowance for credit losses; inventory, including the

determination of allowances for estimated excess or obsolescence; the fair value of warrants; the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration arrangements; unrecognized tax benefits; legal contingencies; the incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases; and the valuation of stock-based compensation, among others.

Emerging Growth Company Status

Following the consummation of the proposed business combination transaction with Plum, the Company is expected to be a publicly traded company and an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGCs can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until those standards apply to private companies. In anticipation of the closing the business combination transaction with Plum, the Company has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that it (i) is no longer an EGC or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opts out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, the consolidated financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of companies that comply with the new or revised accounting pronouncements as of dates effective for public companies. Refer to Note 1 — Description of the Business for further information regarding the proposed business combination transaction.

Segment Information

The Company operates as a single operating segment. The chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, who makes resource allocation decisions and assesses performance based on financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated revenue information. Accordingly, the Company has determined that it has a single reportable segment and operating segment.

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 the principal or most advantageous market in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy is based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable:

Level 1 — |  | Observable inputs obtained from independent sources, such as quoted market prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — |  | Other inputs, which are observable directly or indirectly, such as quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — |  | Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and require the Company to develop its own assumptions, based on the best information available in the circumstances, about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The Company issued preferred stock warrants and common stock warrants classified as equity securities which do not require recurring fair value measurement. See Note 9 — Stock-Based Compensation for the assumptions used in estimating the fair value of such common stock warrants.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial assets and liabilities for which it is practicable to estimate fair value:

Money market funds — The carrying amount of money market funds approximates fair value and is classified within Level 1 because the fair value is determined through quoted market prices.

The Company’s remaining financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist primarily of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities. The Company believes their carrying values are representative of their fair values due to their short-term maturities.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash balances are held in U.S. and European banks. Cash balances held in the U.S. are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation subject to certain limitations. The Company maintains its cash balances in highly rated financial institutions. At times, cash balances may exceed federally insurable limits.

Restricted Cash

The Company is not subject to any contractual agreement that contains restrictions on the Company’s use or withdrawal of its cash or cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue based on the satisfaction of distinct obligations to transfer goods and services to customers. The Company generates revenue from hardware sales and the sale of licenses and subscriptions. The Company applies a five-step approach as defined in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in determining the amount and timing of revenue to be recognized: (1) identify the contract with a customer; (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (3) determine the transaction price; (4) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (5) recognize revenue when a corresponding performance obligation is satisfied. Most contracts with customers are to provide distinct products or services within a single contract. However, if a contract is separated into more than one performance obligation, the total transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation in an amount based on the estimated relative standalone selling price.

The Company earns revenue from the sale of its VeeaHub® devices, licenses and subscriptions. The Company generated revenue of $9,072,130 and $224,052 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Other than $9 million of revenue generated from the license of AdEdge™ in 2023, revenue has been immaterial for all periods presented and represented revenue earned from paid pilots for our VeeaHub® devices.

For licenses of technology, recognition of revenue is dependent upon whether the Company has delivered rights to the technology, and whether there are future performance obligations under the contract. Revenue from non-refundable upfront payments is recognized when the license is transferred to the customer and the Company has no other performance obligations. Revenue for licenses delivered under a subscription model having terms between one and twelve-months are recognized over-time. Subscription revenue is generated through sales of monthly subscriptions. Customers pay in advance for the licenses and subscriptions. Revenue is initially deferred and is recognized using the straight-line method over the term of the applicable subscription period.

Revenue from hardware sales is recognized at a point-in-time, which is generally at the point in time when products have been shipped, right to payment has been obtained and risk of loss has been transferred. Certain of the Company’s product performance obligations include proprietary operating system software, which typically is not considered separately identifiable. Therefore, sales of these products and the related software are considered one performance obligation.

3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

Revenue from all sale types is recognized at the transaction price, the amount management expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Transaction price is calculated as selling price net of variable consideration which may include estimates for future returns, price protection, warranties, and other customer incentive programs based upon the Company’s expectation and historical experience.

The Company contracts with customers under non-cancellable arrangements. While customers, including resellers, may cancel master purchase agreements under certain circumstances, customers may not cancel or modify purchase orders placed under the terms of such master purchase agreements. Each purchase order is therefore a contract with the customer, i.e., the purchase of a quantity of any given, single product; further, purchase orders do not commit the customer to purchase any further volumes over time. Contract modifications do not carry revenue recognition implications as no revenue is recognized until control over products, or intellectual property, as applicable, has transferred to the customer.

The Company has service arrangements where net sales are recognized over time. These arrangements include a variety of post-contract support service offerings, which are generally recognized over time as the services are provided, including maintenance and support services, and professional services to help customers maximize their utilization of deployed systems.

A contract liability for deferred revenue is recorded when consideration is received or is unconditionally due from a customer prior to transferring control of goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract. Deferred revenue balances typically result from advance payments received from customers for product contracts or from billings in excess of revenue recognized on services arrangements. Deferred revenue balances were not significant as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The following tables summarize revenue from contracts with customers for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively:

Warranties

The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of recognizing revenue. The Company’s standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of time. The Company actively monitors and evaluates the quality of its component suppliers. The estimated warranty obligation is based on contractual warranty terms, repair costs, and the Company’s baseline experience. The Company’s standard warranty terms are twelve months. Warranty expense was not significant for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Accounts Receivable

Trade accounts receivable are recognized and carried at billed amounts less an allowance for credit losses. The Company adopted the Current Expected Credit Losses (“CECL”) guidance effective January 1, 2023. The Company maintains the allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance represents the current estimate of lifetime expected credit losses over the remaining duration of existing accounts receivable considering current market conditions and supportable forecasts when appropriate. The estimate is a result of the Company’s ongoing evaluation of collectability, customer creditworthiness, historical levels of credit losses, and future expectations. Credit loss expense and allowance for credit losses were not significant as of, and for the years ended, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Inventory

The Company values inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is computed using standard cost which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis. At each reporting period, the Company assesses the value of its inventory and writes down the cost of inventory to its net realizable value if required, for estimated excess or obsolescence. Factors influencing these adjustments include changes in future demand forecasts, market conditions, technological changes, product life cycle and development plans, component cost trends, product pricing, physical deterioration, and quality issues. The write down for excess or obsolescence is charged to the provision for inventory, which is a component of Cost of Goods Sold in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. At the point of the loss recognition, 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.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold consists primarily of the cost of finished goods, components purchased for manufacturing and freight. Cost of goods sold also includes third-party vendor costs related to cloud hosting fees.

Shipping and Handling

The Company considers shipping and handling to customers to represent activities performed in fulfilling the contract with the customer. When shipping is charged to the customer, the Company nets such charges against actual shipping costs incurred.

Tax Collected from Customers

Taxes imposed by governmental authorities on the Company’s revenue producing activities, such as sales taxes, are excluded from net sales.

Research and Development

Research and development (“R&D”) costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalization are expensed as incurred. R&D costs primarily consist of employee compensation, employee benefits, stock-based compensation related to technology developers and product management employees, as well as fees paid for outside services and materials.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing costs consist of compensation and other employee related costs for personnel engage in selling and marketing, and sales support functions. Selling expenses also include marketing, and the costs associated with customer evaluations. The Company does not incur advertising costs.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense consists of compensation expense (including stock-based compensation expense), executive management, finance, legal, tax, and human resources. General and administrative expense also include transaction costs, expenses associated with facilities, information technology, external professional services, legal costs and settlement of legal claims and other administrative expenses.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment, net is stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis of five to seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years for computer equipment. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or remaining lease term. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to operations in the periods incurred. Upon retirement or sale, costs and related accumulated depreciation or amortization are removed from the balance sheets and the resulting gain or loss is included in operating expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase consideration over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. In conducting its annual impairment test, the Company first reviews qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If factors indicate that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the Company performs a quantitative assessment, and the fair value of the reporting unit is determined by analyzing the expected present value of future cash flows. If the carrying value of the reporting unit continues to exceed its fair value, the fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is calculated and an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. The Company’s goodwill was recorded in connection with an acquisition consummated in June 2018. The Company considers goodwill to have an indefinite life and is not amortized. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no events have occurred that would require impairment of goodwill.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets with finite lives consist primarily of property and equipment, operating lease right-of-use assets, and intangible assets which are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the undiscounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation expense in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). The Company measures and recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards based on estimated fair values on the date of the grant, recognized over the requisite service period. For awards that vest solely based on a service condition, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.

Income Taxes

Effective June 8, 2018, the Company converted from an S Corporation to a C Corporation for federal and state income tax purposes. Accordingly, prior to the conversion to a C corporation, the Company did not record deferred tax assets or liabilities or have any net operating loss carryforwards. The Company is required to file tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various states and local municipalities. Veea Systems Ltd. is governed by, and is required to file tax returns under, the Income Tax Law of the U.K. with a statutory income tax rate of 19%. In 2021, the Company established Veea SAS, a French entity with a statutory income tax rate of 25%.

Significant judgment is required in determining the Company’s uncertain tax positions. For any period presented, it is not expected that there will be a significant change in uncertain tax positions for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Foreign Operations and Foreign Currency Translation

The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and its U.S. subsidiaries are conducted is the United States dollar (“USD”). Accordingly, the Company and all of its U.S. subsidiaries use USD as their functional currency. The results of the Company’s non-U.S. subsidiaries, whose functional currency are the local currencies of the economic environment in which they operate, are translated into USD in accordance with GAAP.

Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation are presented in equity as accumulated other comprehensive loss. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction gain (loss), mainly related to intercompany transactions, is included in the consolidated statements of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 such amounts were $1,284,846 and $(2,193,685), respectively.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive loss consists of two components, net loss and other comprehensive income (loss), net. Other comprehensive income (loss), net is defined as revenue, expenses, gains, and losses that under GAAP are recorded as an element of stockholders’ deficit but are excluded from net loss. The Company’s other comprehensive loss consists of foreign currency translation adjustments that result from the consolidation of its foreign subsidiaries and is reported net of tax effects.

Investments

The Company holds non-marketable equity and other investments (“privately held investments”) which are included in noncurrent assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company monitors these investments for impairments and makes adjustments in carrying values if management determines that an impairment charge is required based primarily on the financial condition and near-term prospects of these investments.

Concentration of Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a significant concentration of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash balances may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.

3 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)

For the year ended December 31, 2023 one customer accounted for 99.2% of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2022, no customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2023, one supplier accounted for 39.3% of the Company’s total supplier purchases. For the year ended December 31, 2022, two suppliers accounted for 37.1% and 35.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total supplier purchases.

As of December 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 36.3% and 23.4% of the Company’s accounts receivable, and no vendor accounted for 10% or more of the Company’s accounts payable balance. As of December 31, 2022, four customers accounted for 30.5%, 26.8%, 10.6% and 10.6% of the Company’s accounts receivable, and one vendor accounted for 49.5% of the Company’s accounts payable balance.

Earnings per Share

Basic net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share is based upon the diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted net loss per share gives effect to all potentially dilutive common share equivalents, including stock options, and warrants, to the extent they are dilutive. Refer to Note 13 — Earnings Per Share.

Warrants

The Company accounts for warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in FASB Accounting Standards Codification 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a liability pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares and whether the warrant holders could potentially require “net cash settlement” in a circumstance outside of the Company’s control, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and at their fair value on each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation. In 2022, amortization of debt issuance costs of approximately $0.8 million was show in depreciation and amortization. In accordance with ASC 835, Interest Expenses, this has been reclassified to Interest Expense. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results of operations.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends the FASB’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. Topic 326 adds to GAAP an impairment model (known as the “current expected credit loss model”) that is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. ASU 2016-13 is effective for the Company’s

annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, “Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers,” which requires entities to apply Topic 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities in a business combination as if it had originated the contracts. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023 and will apply the guidance prospectively for future acquisitions.

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, “Liabilities — Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations,” which requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose sufficient information about the program. The amendments do not affect the recognition, measurement or financial statement presentation of obligations covered by supplier finance programs. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2022, except for the amendment on roll-forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted the ASU on January 1, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions,” which clarifies that contractual sale restrictions are not considered in measuring fair value of equity securities and requires additional disclosures for equity securities subject to contractual sale restrictions. The standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Early adoption is permitted. This accounting standard update is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as the amendments align with our existing policy.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures,” which will add required disclosures of significant expenses for each reportable segment, as well as certain other disclosures to help investors understand how the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) evaluates segment expenses and operating results. The new standard will also allow disclosure of multiple measures of segment profitability if those measures are used to allocate resources and assess performance. The amendments will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,” which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard is intended to benefit investors by providing more detailed income tax disclosures that would be useful in making capital allocation decisions. The standard will be effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements.

Intangible assets primarily consist of patents, patent applications, and in-process research and development (“IPR&D”) and other identifiable intangible assets. Intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods of benefit. The Company’s patents have estimated remaining economic useful lives ranging from 5-15 years. Management reviews intangible assets for impairment when events and circumstances warrant. During the year ended December 31, 2023, no events have occurred that required impairment of intangible assets.

Intangible asset amortization expense, including impairment charges, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaled $547,586 and $1,228,336, respectively. Future estimated amortization expense for the Company’s intangible assets is approximately as follows:

Revolving Loan Facility

In June 2021, the Company entered into a revolving loan agreement with First Republic Bank (the “Bank”) providing up to $14,000,000 of advances (the “2021 Revolving Loan Agreement”). The advances accrue interest at a variable rate based on an index rate established by reference to the average 12-month trailing one-year US treasuries plus a spread of 1.80% per annum and a minimum floor rate of 1.5% per annum. The Company was not required to provide collateral for the advances or comply with any covenants. The advances were secured by a lien on certain personal assets of the CEO.

The Company issued common stock warrants to NLabs in consideration for the CEO’s guaranteeing the advances. Refer to Note 10 — Related Party Transactions, Common Stock Warrants. The 2021 Revolving Loan Agreement provided for an initial maturity date of May 15, 2022 with one (1) one-year extension to May 15, 2023. The Company requested an extension of the maturity date to May 15, 2024. While the Company remains in discussions with the Bank, the extension was not formalized prior to the maturity date and the Company is in default under the 2021 Revolving Loan Agreement. The Company has received no notices of default from the Bank, nor has the Bank commenced enforcement actions. In December 2023, the Company repaid $5,000,000 of the principal balance of the outstanding advances.

Term Note

In March 2023, the Company entered into a $5,000,000 term loan agreement with an unrelated third party lender. The loan agreement was secured by a lien on the Company’s assets and guaranteed by the Company’s CEO. The full amount of the loan was drawn at closing. The original maturity date of the loan was August 31, 2023 and was subsequently extended to October 31, 2023. The Company initially issued warrants to the lender to purchase 3,300,000 shares of the Company’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Initial Warrants”). The exercise price of the Initial Warrants is $2.00 per share. The term of Initial Warrant covering 2,500,000 of the 3,300,000 shares expires upon repayment of the loan (the “Repayment Warrant”). The term of the remaining Initial Warrants covering 800,000 shares is five years. Prior to original maturity of the term loan agreement, the maturity date was extended to October 31, 2023. Upon extension of the maturity date, the Company issued warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock (the “Extension Warrants”). The exercise price of the Extension Warrants is $.01 per share and the warrant term is five years. The Company repaid the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the secured term loan on November 10, 2023, in the amount of $3,064,897. In connection with the repayment, the lender’s liens were released and the Repayment Warrant expired.

Convertible Notes

In July 2023, the Company issued a $3,000,000 convertible note to iFREE Group (HK) Limited (“iFree”). The interest rate on the note is 8%. The note (“iFree Note”) matures September 30, 2024.

The aggregate intrinsic value is the fair market value on the reporting date less the exercise price for each option.

The fair value of each stock option award is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. For options granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, the weighted average estimated fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was $0.58 and $0.66 per option, respectively.

Stock compensation expense related to the 2018 Plan common stock options for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $485,000 and $845,000, respectively, which is included in general and administrative in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. Total unrecognized expense related to unvested options outstanding as of December 31, 2023 was $394,000 which will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.99 years.

The Company estimates the fair value of each stock award on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The assumptions used to calculate the fair value of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows:

|  | 2023 |  | 2022
Expected volatility |  |  | 87.70% – 108.44% |  |  | 84.24% – 87.55%

9 — STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (cont.)

The fair value of each stock option granted is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the single-option award approach. The following assumptions are used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model:

Risk-Free Interest Rate — The risk-free interest rate is based on the implied yield available on the date of grant on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon securities issued with a term that is equal to the option’s expected term at the grant date.

Expected Volatility — The Company estimates the volatility for option grants by evaluating the average historical volatility of a peer group of companies for the period immediately preceding the option grant for a term that is approximately equal to the option’s expected term.

Expected Term — The expected term represents the period over which options granted are expected to be outstanding using the simplified method, as the Company’s historical share option exercise experience does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. The simplified method deems the term to be the average of the time-to-vesting and contractual life of the stock-based awards.

Dividend Yield — The Company has not declared or paid dividends to date and does not anticipate declaring dividends. As such, the dividend yield has been estimated to be zero.

Warranties

The Company accrues the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of recognizing revenue. The Company’s standard product warranty terms generally include post-sales support and repairs or replacement of a product at no additional charge for a specified period of time. The Company engages in product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers. The estimated warranty obligation is based on contractual warranty terms, repair costs, current period product shipments and product failure rates. Warranty terms are generally limited to twelve months.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company has indemnification obligations to other parties, including customers, lessors, and parties to other transactions with us, with respect to certain matters. The Company has agreed to indemnify against losses arising from a breach of representations or covenants or out of intellectual property infringement or other claims made against certain parties. These agreements may limit the time or circumstances within which an indemnification claim can be made and the amount of the claim.

It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount for claims made under the indemnification obligations due to uncertainties in the litigation process, coordination with and contributions by other parties and the defendants in these types of cases, and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular case and agreement. To date, the Company has made no indemnity payments. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its officers and directors, and its Amended and Restated Bylaws contain similar indemnification obligations to its agents.

Litigation

In November 2020 the Company engaged an independent contractor basis (“Contractor”) to provide legal services to the Company. The Company subsequently terminated the Contractor in early 2021. In April 2021, the Contractor commenced a legal action against the Company alleging discrimination and retaliation as a result of the Contractor’s disability and/or perceived disability. The Contractor sought three years of contract payments in the amount of $600,000. The Company timely submitted a claim under its Employment Practices Liability insurance. In accordance with the terms of the Company’s policy, the insurance carrier assumed defense of the litigation. Due to the early stage of the litigation, as well as uncertainties in the litigation due to the proceeding being stayed in 2021, the Company could not estimate the outcome as of December 31, 2021. In July 2023, the litigation was submitted to

15 — INCOME TAXES (cont.)

The reconciliation of federal statutory income tax rate to our effective income tax rate is as follows:

|  | Years ended December 31,
|  | 2023 |  | 2022
Federal income tax at the Statutory Rate |  | 21.00 | % |  | 21.00 | %
Permanent Items |  | (0.21 | )% |  | (0.95 | )%
Foreign |  | 7.80 | % |  | — | %
State Taxes |  | 24.10 | % |  | (0.03 | )%
Return to Provision |  | 0.09 | % |  | — | %
Other |  | 6.79 | % |  | (1.86 | )%
Change in valuation allowance |  | (60.27 | )% |  | (18.15 | )%
Total tax benefit |  | — | % |  | — | %

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $101,966,000 which will be carried forward indefinitely. In addition, the Company has state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $10,749,000 with varying expiration dates as determined by each state.

As of December 31, 2023, The Company had foreign net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $22,182,000 and $16,200,000 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which have no expiration.

As of December 31, 2023, Company had federal R&D credit carryforwards of approximately $3,207,000 which will begin to expire in 2038 for federal tax purposes.

At December 31, 2023 the Company had state R&D credit carryforwards of approximately $5,124,000 for state tax purposes which will not expire.

IRC Section 382 imposes limitations on the use of net operating loss carryovers when the stock ownership of one or more 5% shareholders (shareholders owning 5% or more of the Company’s outstanding capital stock) has increased on a cumulative basis by more than 50 percentage points. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has not completed IRC Section 382 analysis. An IRC Section 382 limitation calculation will be performed prior to the usage of tax attributes.

The Company’s effective tax rate could also fluctuate due to changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets or liabilities, or by changes in tax laws, regulations, and accounting principles.

The Company has evaluated both positive and negative evidence and determined that all of its deferred tax assets for the UK & French subsidiaries will not be realized within foreseeable future. As a result, the valuation allowance sets against both subsidiaries deferred tax assets.

Beginning January 1, 2022, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the current year and requires taxpayers to capitalize such expenses pursuant to Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 174. The capitalized expenses are amortized over a five-year period for domestic expenses. As a result of this provision of the Tax Act, deferred tax assets related to capitalized research expenses increased by $663,935 in 2023, partially offset by amortization on research expenses.

(iv) Assumption by Plum of Other Existing Company Convertible Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of any Party or other Person, each Company Convertible Security that is not a New Financing Security or exercisable for or convertible into a New Financing Security that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire New Plum Common Shares and on an as-converted to shares of Company Common Stock basis (each, an “Existing Rollover Convertible Security”) on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Company Securities immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Company Convertible Securities, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Convertible Securities.

(v) Assumption by Plum of New Convertible Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action of any Party or other Person, each Company Convertible Security convertible into a New Financing Security that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to represent a right to acquire Company Capital Stock, shall be assumed by Plum and shall be cancelled in exchange for a convertible security to acquire New Plum Common Shares and on an as-converted to shares of Company Common

Annex A-19

Table of Contents

Stock basis (each, a “New Financing Rollover Convertible Security” and together with the Existing Financing Rollover Convertible Securities, the “Rollover Convertible Securities”) on the same contractual terms and conditions as were in effect with respect to such Company Convertible Securities immediately prior to the Effective Time under the terms of the relevant agreements governing such Company Convertible Securities, except for terms rendered inoperative by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or for such other immaterial administrative or ministerial changes as the board of directors of Plum may determine in good faith are appropriate to effectuate the administration of the Rollover Convertible Securities. Each Rollover Convertible Security shall represent the right to acquire the number of New Plum Common Shares (rounded down to the nearest whole share), determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Convertible Security on an as-converted to shares of Company Common Stock basis as of immediately prior to the Effective Time by the New Company Shareholder Exchange Ratio, at an exercise price per share of New Plum Common Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to (x) the exercise price per share of Company Capital Stock of such Company Convertible Security divided by (y) the New Company Shareholder Exchange Ratio (such number of New Plum Common Shares resulting from the conversion of all of the Rollover Convertible Securities, the “New Rollover Convertible Security Shares” and together with the Existing Rollover Convertible Security Shares, the “Rollover Convertible Security Shares”).

(vi) Converted Stock Option Shares and Rollover Convertible Security Shares. From and after the Effective Time, Plum shall (i) reserve for issuance a number of New Plum Common Shares equal to the number of shares underlying the Converted Stock Options and Rollover Convertible Security Shares, and (ii) issue or cause to be issued the appropriate number of New Plum Common Shares upon the exercise of the Converted Stock Options and the appropriate number of Rollover Convertible Security Shares upon the exercise of the Rollover Convertible Securities. Plum shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file, as promptly as practicable after the date Plum is first allowed a registration statement registering a number of New Plum Shares necessary to fulfill Plum’s obligations under Section 2.01(d)(iii).

(vii) Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, including Section 2.01(d), shares of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares of Company Capital Stock cancelled in accordance with Section 2.01(d)(ii)(A)) and held by a holder who has not voted in favor of adoption of this Agreement or consented thereto in writing and who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights of such Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (such shares of Company Capital Stock being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into a right to receive a portion of the Transaction Consideration, including any Transaction Consideration issuable pursuant to Section 2.03, but instead shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such Dissenting Shares shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Transaction Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to the applicable subsections of Section 2.01(d)(ii), without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate or Certificates representing such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 3.02. The Company shall provide Plum prompt written notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to the Company prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL that relates to such demand, and Plum shall have the reasonable opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands; provided, that the Company shall not under any circumstance settle or agree to such demands without the prior written consent of Plum.

(e) Governing Documents. At the Effective Time, the Governing Documents of the Company shall be amended and restated to be in the forms of certificate of incorporation and bylaws to be mutually agreed by Plum and the Company prior to the Closing Date, which shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company until thereafter duly amended in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable Law.

(b) If, at any time during the Earnout Period, the Plum Common Share Price is greater than or equal to $15.00 for any twenty (20) Trading Days within any thirty- (30-) Trading Day period (such time when the foregoing is first satisfied, the “Second Earnout Achievement Date”), Plum shall, as additional consideration in the Merger in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock (and without the need for additional consideration from any holder thereof), promptly issue to each Existing Company Shareholder, a number of New Plum Common Shares equal to the product of (i) such Existing Company Shareholder’s Pro Rata Share multiplied by (ii) 2,250,000.

(c) If, on or before the last day of the Earnout Period, there is a Change of Control Transaction that will result in the holders of New Plum Common Shares receiving a per share price, or has an implied value per share (in either case, taking in account the issuance of the Earnout Consideration in accordance herewith), equal to or in excess of the applicable Plum Common Share Price as set forth in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.03 (each, an “Earnout Triggering Event”), then immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control Transaction: (a) any Earnout Triggering Event subject to the applicable price thresholds achieved or exceeded in connection with such Change of Control Transaction that has not previously occurred shall be deemed to have occurred and shall immediately vest and the Existing Company Shareholders shall receive the same per share consideration (whether stock, cash or other property) in respect of such New Plum Common Shares as the other holders of ordinary shares of Plum participating in such Change of Control Transaction; and (b) in the case of any Change of Control Transaction, Plum shall require that the acquiror in such Change of Control Transaction agree to the treatment of any Earnout Triggering Event (unless otherwise agreed to by Existing Company Shareholders holding a majority of the Company Capital Stock held by all Existing Company Shareholders) subject to applicable price thresholds that are not achieved or exceeded in connection with such Change of Control Transaction that will not vest in connection with such Change of Control Transaction (“Unvested New Plum Common Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, any Unvested New Plum Common Shares that will not vest in connection with a Change of Control Transaction will continue as Unvested New Plum Common Shares on and subject to the terms of this Agreement and will not be forfeited or cancelled.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.03, in the event of a Change of Control Transaction that results in New Plum Common Shares no longer being listed on the Stock Exchange or any other nationally-recognized securities exchange, any Unvested New Plum Common Shares shall automatically vest regardless of whether an Earnout Triggering Event has occurred in connection with such Change of Control Transaction.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.01 or this Agreement to the contrary, nothing set forth in this Agreement shall give Plum, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries during the Interim Period.

Section 7.02 Trust Account Waiver. The Company acknowledges that Plum is a blank check company with the power and privileges to effect a business combination, and reference is made to Plum’s final prospectus, dated March 15, 2021. The Company understands that Plum has established the Trust Account described therein for the benefit of Plum’s public shareholders and that disbursements from the Trust Account are available only in the limited circumstances set forth in the Trust Agreement. The Company further acknowledges that, if the Transactions or, in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms, another business combination, are not consummated by the Termination Date or such later date as is approved by the shareholders of Plum to complete a business combination, Plum will be obligated to return to its shareholders the amounts being held in the Trust Account. Accordingly, the Company (on behalf of itself and its controlled Affiliates), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, hereby waives any past, present or future claim of any kind against, and any right to access, the Trust Account or to collect from the Trust Account any monies that may be owed to them by Plum or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Transactions whatsoever, and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account at any time in connection with this or the Transactions; provided that nothing herein shall serve to limit or prohibit the Company’s right to pursue a claim against Plum or any of its Affiliates for legal relief against assets held outside of the Trust Account (including from and after the consummation of a business combination other than as contemplated by this Agreement) or pursuant to Section 12.14 for specific performance or other injunctive relief (so long as such claim would not affect Plum’s ability to fulfill its redemption obligations). This Section 7.02 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 7.03 Financial Information.

(a) The Company shall deliver to Plum (i) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Closing Company Financial Statements; and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of each interim period occurring after the date of this Agreement, the unaudited financial statements for such interim periods that are required by applicable Securities Laws, as necessary.

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (i) to assist, upon advance written notice, during normal business hours and in a manner such as to not unreasonably interfere with the normal operation of the Company and Plum in causing to be prepared in a timely manner any other financial information or statements (including customary pro forma financial statements) that are required to be included in the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement and any other filings to be made by Plum with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Transaction Document and (ii) to obtain the consents of its auditors with respect thereto as may be required by applicable Law or requested by the SEC.

Section 7.04 Company Related Party Transactions. Subject to Section 9.13, the Company shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary or advisable to terminate at or prior to the Closing all Company Related Party Transactions set forth on Section 7.04 of the Company Disclosure Schedule without any further obligations or Liabilities to the Company or any of its Affiliates (including, from and after the Closing, Plum and its Affiliates). On or prior to the Closing, each of the Company Shareholders and the Company shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, repay or cause to be repaid in full, or otherwise satisfy and settle, all Indebtedness, receivables, payables and other similar arrangements between the Company, on the one hand, and any Company Shareholder or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand.

Section 7.05 Company Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company’s board of directors may (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend an Acquisition Proposal, or (iii) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in any materials presented to the Company Shareholders in connection with the Transactions (the actions or inactions referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) being referred to herein as a “Company Board Recommendation Change”) at any time prior to obtaining the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent in the event that:

(a) the Company’s board of directors has received a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal after the date of this Agreement that was not solicited in violation of Section 9.04 and determines in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Proposal (which determination and any notice to Plum thereof shall not constitute a Company Board Recommendation Change);

Annex A-52

Table of Contents

(b) prior to effecting such Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company’s board of directors shall have given Plum at least five (5) Business Days’ notice of its intention to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change pursuant to Section 7.05(a) (the “Change of Recommendation Notice Period”) and shall have provided Plum (i) the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal and (ii), subject to Section 8.09, the identity of the Person or “group” (within the meaning ascribed to such term under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) submitting such Superior Proposal and with an unredacted copy of such Superior Proposal, together with unredacted copies of all proposed transaction agreements and, subject to any express restrictions imposed by the lenders thereto, any financing commitments relating thereto received by the Company’s board of directors;

(c) if requested by Plum, during the Change of Recommendation Notice Period, the Company shall have met and negotiated in good faith with Plum regarding modifications to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to obviate the need for a Company Board Recommendation Change;

(d) within four (4) Business Days of Plum’s receipt of the notice required by Section 7.05(b), Plum shall not have made a counter-offer or proposal in writing and in a manner that, if accepted by the Company, would form a binding contract, that the Company’s board of directors determines would obviate the need for a Company Board Recommendation Change; and

(e) the Company’s board of directors determines (following consultation with its outside legal counsel and after considering any counter-offer or proposal made by Plum pursuant to this Section 7.05) that, in light of such Superior Proposal, the failure to effect a Company Board Recommendation Change would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 7.06 Company Shareholder Consent. If the Company Shareholders party to the Voting Agreements hold, as of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, voting power over Company Capital Stock sufficient to provide the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent (including any separate class or series vote as reasonably determined necessary or appropriate by the Company), the Company shall deliver to Plum, as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than five (5) Business Days following the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, a true and correct copy of an irrevocable written consent constituting the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent. If the Company Shareholders party to the Voting Agreements do not hold, as of the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, voting power over Company Capital Stock sufficient to provide the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent (including any separate class or series vote as reasonably determined necessary or appropriate by the Company), the Company shall use its best efforts to either (i) obtain and deliver to Plum a true and correct copy of an irrevocable written consent constituting the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent or (ii) hold a meeting of Company shareholders in which the Company obtains the vote of its shareholders constituting the Required Company Shareholders’ Consent, in either case (A) including any separate class or series vote as reasonably determined necessary or appropriate by the Company and (B) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date, and in any event, the Company will use its best efforts to obtain such Required Company Shareholders’ Consent no later than forty-five (45) days following the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement Effective Date.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, Plum shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in Plum’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements as in effect immediately prior to the Domestication. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of Plum’s Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time on or prior to the Closing, were directors or officers of Plum (the “Plum D&O Persons”) to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such Plum D&O Person was a director or officer of Plum prior to the Closing, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Plum shall not have any obligation under this Section 9.09(b) to any Plum D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Plum D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, during such six (6)-year period, Plum shall advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification and liability limitation or exculpation provisions of the Company’s Governing Documents shall not, during such six (6)-year period, be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing or at any time prior to the Closing, were directors or officers of the Company (the “Company D&O Persons”) to be so indemnified, have their liability limited or be exculpated with respect to any matters occurring prior to Closing and relating to the fact that such Company D&O Person was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, unless such amendment, repeal or other modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) Neither Plum nor the Company shall have any obligation under this Section 9.10 to any Company D&O Person when and if a court of competent jurisdiction shall ultimately determine (and such determination shall have become final and non-appealable) that the indemnification of such Company D&O Person in the manner contemplated hereby is prohibited by applicable Law.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 12.12 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any federal court within State of Delaware) for the purposes of any Proceeding (a) arising under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document or (b) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the Transactions, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding in any such court, and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Proceeding (i) arising under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the Parties in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any of the Transactions, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 12.12 for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any Proceeding commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (C) that (x) the Proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such Proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Annex A-71

Section 12.14 Enforcement. 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 do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate this Agreement) or any Transaction Document in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.01, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and (b) the right to seek specific enforcement is an integral part of the Transactions and, without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity. The Parties acknowledge and agree that any Party seeking an injunction to prevent breaches of this Agreement or any Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document in accordance with this Section 12.14 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction.

Section 12.15 Non-Recourse. Subject in all respects to the last sentence of this Section 12.15, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may only be brought against, the entities that are expressly named as Parties and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12.15 shall limit, amend or waive any rights or obligations of any party to any Transaction Document with respect to the other parties thereto.

Section 12.16 Nonsurvival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. None of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements or other provisions, shall survive the Closing, and all of the representations, warranties, covenants, obligations or other agreements in this Agreement or in any certificate, statement or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including any rights arising out of any breach of such representations, warranties, covenants, obligations, agreements or other provisions, shall terminate and expire upon the occurrence of the Closing (and there shall be no Liability after the Closing in respect thereof), in each case, except for (a) those covenants and agreements contained herein that by their terms expressly apply in whole or in part at or after the Closing and then only with respect to any breaches occurring at or after the Closing and (b) this Article XII.

implied representation or warranty with respect to any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), including any implied warranty or representation as to condition, merchantability, suitability or fitness for a particular purpose or trade as to any of the assets of such Party or its Subsidiaries or the Transactions and all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including (x) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to any Party or their respective Affiliates or Representatives in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the Transactions, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of any Party (or any Party’s Subsidiaries), and (y) any relating to the future or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, assets or liabilities of any Party (or its Subsidiaries), or the quality, quantity or condition of any Party’s or its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by all Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and all other Persons (including the Representatives and Affiliates of any Party or its Subsidiaries); and (v) each Party and its respective Affiliates are not relying on any representations and warranties in connection with the Transactions except the representations and warranties of the Company in Article IV and the representations and warranties of Plum and Merger Sub in Article V and Article VI, and the other representations and warranties expressly made by a Person in the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, and the Company Lock-Up Agreements. The foregoing does not limit any rights of any Party pursuant to any Transaction Document against any other Party pursuant to such Transaction Document to which it is a party or of which it is an express third party beneficiary. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Plum understands and agrees that any assets, properties and business of the Company and its Subsidiaries are furnished “as is,” “where is” and subject to and except for the representations and warranties of the Company in Article IV or as provided in any certificate delivered in accordance with Section 10.03(d)(i) with all faults and without any other representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever.

(b) Effective upon Closing, each of the Parties waives, on its own behalf and on behalf of its respective Affiliates and Representatives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Proceedings and causes of action it may have against any other Party or their respective Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former Affiliates or Representatives relating to the operation of any Party or its Subsidiaries or their respective businesses prior to the Closing or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Schedules, or the Exhibits to this Agreement, whether arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign statute, Law, ordinance, rule or regulation or otherwise. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that it will not assert, institute or maintain any Action, suit, investigation, or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim, or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 12.17. Each Party shall have the right to enforce this Section 12.17 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 12.17 if they were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable.

5.1 For the purpose of determining Members entitled to notice of, or to vote at any meeting of Members or any adjournment thereof, or Members entitled to receive payment of any Dividend or other distribution, or in order to make a determination of Members for any other purpose, the Directors may, after notice has been given by advertisement in an appointed newspaper or any other newspaper or by any other means in accordance 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, provide that the Register of Members shall be closed for transfers for a stated period which shall not in any case exceed forty days.

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.

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.

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 their 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 their 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 their nominee shall be registered as the holder of the Shares comprised in any such transfer, and they shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money, nor shall their 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 them notwithstanding the subsequent transfer of the Shares in respect of which the call was made.

Table of Contents

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 them, 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 them to the Company in respect of those Shares together with interest at such rate as the Directors may determine, but their liability shall cease if and when the Company shall have received payment in full of all monies due and payable by them in respect of those Shares.

Table of Contents

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 their 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 they were a joint holder), or their legal personal representatives (where they were a sole holder), shall be the only persons recognised by the Company as having any title to their Shares. The estate of a deceased Member is not thereby released from any liability in respect of any Share, for which they were 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 them to the Company, either to become the holder of such Share or to have some person nominated by them registered as the holder of such Share. If they elect to have another person registered as the holder of such Share they 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 their 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 they would be entitled if they were the holder of such Share. However, they 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 them self or to have some person nominated by them 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 their 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”): (a) at any time and from time to time at the option of the holders thereof; or (b) concurrently with or immediately 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 Class 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, 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, its Affiliates, a Director or an Officer 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.

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.

All Directors shall hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been appointed and qualified. A Director appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation or removal of a Director shall serve for the remainder of the full term of the Director whose death, resignation or removal shall have created such vacancy and until their successor shall have been appointed and qualified.

28.1 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.

28.2 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.

28.4 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.

29 Appointment and Removal of Directors

29.1 Prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company may by Ordinary Resolution of the holders of the Class B Shares appoint any person to be a Director or may by Ordinary Resolution of the holders of the Class B Shares remove any Director.

29.4 Prior to the closing of a Business Combination, Article 29.1 may only be amended by a Special Resolution passed by at least two-thirds of such Members (which shall include a simple majority of the holders of Class B Shares) 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 by way of unanimous written resolution.

30 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 they resign the office of Director; or

(b) the Director absents them self (for the avoidance of doubt, without being represented by proxy) from three consecutive meetings of the board of Directors without special leave of absence from the Directors, and the Directors pass a resolution that they have by reason of such absence vacated office; or

(c) the Director dies, becomes bankrupt or makes any arrangement or composition with their 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 they 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.

31.3 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 chairperson is located at the start of the meeting.

31.4 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 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.

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 chairperson of their board and determine the period for which they are to hold office; but if no such chairperson is elected, or if at any meeting the chairperson 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 chairperson of the meeting.

31.8 All acts done by any meeting of the Directors or of a committee of the Directors shall, notwithstanding that it is afterwards discovered that there was some defect in the appointment of any 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 and/or had not vacated their office and/or had been entitled to vote, as the case may be.

31.9 A Director may be represented at any meetings of the board of Directors by a proxy appointed in writing by them. 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 their dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless they shall file their written dissent from such action with the person acting as the chairperson 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.

33 Directors’ Interests

33.1 A Director may hold any other office or place of profit under the Company (other than the office of Auditor) in conjunction with their office of Director for such period and on such terms as to remuneration and otherwise as the Directors may determine.

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 them 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.

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.

42.5 If the office of Auditor becomes vacant by resignation or death of the Auditor, or by their becoming incapable of acting by reason of illness or other disability at a time when their 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.

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.

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.

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.

(a) submit such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or

49.3 If the Company initiates any tender offer in accordance with Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act in connection with a proposed Business Combination, it shall file tender offer documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to completing such Business Combination which contain substantially the same financial and other information about such Business Combination and the redemption rights as is required under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act. If, alternatively, the Company holds a general meeting to approve a proposed Business Combination, the Company will conduct any redemptions in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, and not pursuant to the tender offer rules, and file proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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.

49.5 Any Member holding Public Shares who is not the Sponsor, a Founder, Officer or Director may, at least two business days’ prior to the initially scheduled 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 their or any other person with whom they are 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 they are 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.

49.6 A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Notice once submitted to the Company 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 upon the date which is the later of (i) 18 December 2023 (or 18 March 2024, if applicable under the provisions of this Article 49.7) and (ii) such later date as may be approved by the Members in accordance with the Articles (in any case, such date being referred to as the “Termination Date”), the Company shall (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 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 the 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 (iii) 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 within twenty-seven months from the closing of the IPO, the Company may, without another vote of the Members, elect to extend the date to consummate the Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the twenty-seventh month from the closing of the IPO, by resolution of the Directors, if requested by the Sponsor in writing, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until thirty-nine months from the closing of the IPO, provided that the Sponsor (or one or more of its Affiliates, members or third-party designees) (the “Lender”) will deposit into the Trust Account for each such monthly extension, the lesser of (i) US$45,000 or (ii) US$0.0225 for each Public Share that is then outstanding, for an aggregate deposit of up to US$135,000 or US$0.0675 for each Public Share that is then outstanding (if all nine additional monthly extensions are exercised), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender. If the Company completes a Business Combination, it will, at the option of the Lender, repay the amounts loaned under the promissory note or convert a portion or all of the amounts loaned under such promissory note into warrants, which warrants will be identical to the private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor at the time of the IPO. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the applicable Termination Date, such promissory note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

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 to redeem 100 per cent of the Public Shares if the Company does not consummate a Business Combination within thirty-three months (or up to thirty-nine months, if applicable under the provisions of Article 49.7) from the consummation of the IPO; or

(b) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of the Class A Shares,

each holder 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.

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:

Holder hereby agrees not to: (A) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (C) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), a “Transfer”).

Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Purchaser that are consistent with the foregoing or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.

(c) If any Transfer is made or attempted contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, such purported Transfer shall be null and void ab initio, and the Purchaser shall refuse to recognize any such purported transferee of the Restricted Securities as one of its equity holders for any purpose. In order to enforce this Section 1, the Purchaser may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Restricted Securities of Holder (and Permitted Transferees and assigns thereof) until the end of the Lock-Up Period.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth above, which are incorporated in this Agreement as if fully set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Holder hereby agrees not to: (A) lend, offer, pledge, hypothecate, encumber, donate, assign, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Securities, (B) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Restricted Securities, or (C) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing, whether any such transaction described in clauses (A) or (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Restricted Securities or other securities, in cash or otherwise (any of the foregoing described in clauses (A), (B) or (C), a “Transfer”).

(v) the entry, by Holder, at any time after the Closing, of any trading plan providing for the sale of New Plum Common Shares by Holder, which trading plan meets the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided, however, that such plan does not provide for, or permit, the sale of any New Plum Common Shares during the Lock-Up Period;

(h) Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only with the written consent of the Purchaser and Holder. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties shall substitute for any invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision a suitable and equitable provision that carries out, so far as may be valid, legal and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(j) Specific Performance. Holder acknowledges that Holder’s obligations under this Agreement are unique, recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by Holder, money damages will be inadequate and the Purchaser may not have an adequate remedy at law, and agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by Holder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Purchaser shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of this Agreement by Holder and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the requirement to post any bond or other security or to prove that money damages would be inadequate, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which the Purchaser may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

ANNEX G

FORM OF
STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT

STOCKHOLDER SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of November 27, 2023 (this “Agreement”), by and among Plum Acquisition Corp. I, a Delaware corporation (“SPAC”), Veea Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the stockholder of the Company whose name appears on the signature page of this Agreement (the “Stockholder”). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the BCA (as defined below).

WHEREAS, SPAC, Plum SPAC Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of SPAC (“Merger Sub”), and the Company propose to enter into, simultaneously herewith, a business combination agreement (the “BCA”), which provides, among other things, that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, (i) SPAC shall transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to the State of Delaware and domesticate as a Delaware corporation in accordance with Section 388 of the DGCL and Part XII of the Cayman Islands Act, and (ii) Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPAC; and

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder or its Affiliate owns of record or has the power to direct the vote of the number of shares of Company Capital Stock as set forth on Exhibit A hereto (all such shares of Company Capital Stock, together with any other shares of Company Capital Stock of which ownership of record or the power to direct the vote is acquired after the date hereof by the Stockholder or its Affiliate prior to the termination of this Agreement, collectively referred to herein as the “Shares”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1. Agreement to Vote.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Registration Statement/Proxy Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act and delivered or otherwise made available to the Company Stockholders, the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, at any meeting of the Company Stockholders or class or series thereof, and in each written consent or resolutions of any of the Company Stockholders in which the Stockholder or its Affiliate is entitled to vote, be present for any such meeting and vote (in person or by proxy), or consent to any action by written consent or resolution with respect to, the Shares, to approve and adopt the BCA and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party, and approve the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder and the Merger and the Transactions, consistent with the Company’s requirements under Section 7.06 of the BCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, (i) to the extent that it is necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by the Company and certified in writing thereby to the Stockholder, for any matters, actions or proposals to be approved by the Stockholder or its Affiliates in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the BCA and/or the other Transaction Documents, the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares in favor of and/or consent to any such matters, actions or proposals promptly, and (ii) the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares against and withhold consent (to the extent the Stockholder’s or its Affiliate’s vote or consent is requested) with respect to (A) any proposal relating to an Alternative Transaction (without limiting the rights of the Company’s board of directors under Sections 7.05 and 11.01(j) of the BCA) or (B) any other matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of the Merger or the other Transactions from being consummated, in each case, as requested in writing by the Company. The Stockholder acknowledges receipt of a copy of the BCA.

(b) Without limiting any other rights or remedies of SPAC or the Company, the Stockholder, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably appoints each of SPAC and the Company or any individual designated by each of them (acting jointly) as the Stockholder’s and its Affiliates’ respective agent, attorney-in-fact and proxy (with full power of substitution and resubstituting), for and in the name, place and stead of such Stockholder or its Affiliates, to attend on behalf of such Stockholder or its Affiliates the general meeting or any meeting of the stockholders of the Company with respect to the matters described in Section 1(a), to include the Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of the stockholders of the

Annex G-1

Table of Contents

Company, to vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares or consent (or withhold consent) with respect to any of the matters described in Section 1(a) in connection with any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any action by written consent by the stockholders of the Company, in each case, in the event that (i) the Stockholder or its Affiliate fails to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a) and continues to fail to perform or otherwise comply with the covenants, agreements or obligations set forth in Section 1(a) for three (3) Business Days following written notice from the Company and SPAC of such failure to perform or comply, or (ii) the Stockholder or its Affiliate challenges (in any Proceeding or otherwise), directly or indirectly, the validity or enforceability of its covenants, agreements or obligations under Section 1(a), or the voting proxy it executes. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 1(b) does not prevent the Stockholder or its Affiliates from withdrawing or otherwise challenging the voting proxy if this Agreement has terminated in accordance with its terms.

(c) The proxy granted by the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 1(b) is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and is granted in consideration for SPAC and the Company entering into the BCA and agreeing to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The proxy granted by the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 1(b) is also a durable proxy and shall survive the bankruptcy, dissolution, death, incapacity or other inability to act by the Stockholder or its Affiliate and, upon the Stockholder’s execution of this Agreement, shall revoke any and all prior proxies granted by the Stockholder or its Affiliate with respect to the Shares. The proxyholder may not exercise the proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) on any matter except for those matters described in Section 1(a), and shall only exercise such proxy granted pursuant to Section 1(b) consistent with the provisions described in Section 1(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the proxy granted by the Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates pursuant to Section 1(b) shall terminate automatically with no further action required if the BCA (or any provision thereof) or any Transaction Documents (or any provision thereof) are entered into, amended, supplemented, modified or waived in any manner adverse to the Stockholder or its Affiliate without the prior written consent of such Stockholder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

2. Termination of Stockholders’ Rights under Applicable Agreements. The Stockholder, by execution of this Agreement, with respect to the Shares, hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Affiliates to terminate, subject to the occurrence of, and effective immediately prior to, the Effective Time and provided that all Terminating Rights (as defined below) between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any other holder of Company Capital Stock shall also terminate at such time, if applicable to the Stockholder or its Affiliates, any rights under any letter agreement providing for redemption rights, put rights, purchase rights, information rights, rights to consult with and advise management, inspection rights, preemptive rights, Company board or director observer rights or rights to receive information delivered to the Company’s board of directors or other similar rights not generally available to stockholders of the Company (the “Terminating Rights”) between the Stockholder or its Affiliates and the Company, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights the Stockholder or its Affiliates may have that relate to any indemnification, commercial, employment or service agreements, any Company Convertible Securities or any other arrangements between the Stockholder or its Affiliates and the Company or any Subsidiary, including without limitation any rights under the BCA or other Transaction Documents, which shall survive in accordance with their terms.

3. No Transfer of Shares. Except as expressly contemplated by the BCA, during the term of this Agreement, Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates agrees that it shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, (a) sell, assign, transfer (including without limitation by operation of Law), gift, convey, Lien, pledge, hypothecate, dispose of or otherwise encumber any of the Shares or grant any security interest in, or otherwise agree to do any of the foregoing (collectively, a “Transfer”), except for a Transfer of Shares pursuant to the BCA or to another Company Stockholder that is already party to a Stockholder Support Agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement, (b) grant or agree to grant any proxy, power of attorney or other right to vote any of the Shares, deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement, or (c) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of any Shares; provided that, the foregoing shall not prohibit the Transfer of the Shares by the Stockholder or its Affiliate (i) to any of their respective Affiliates or (ii) to any other transferee that concurrently with such Transfer executes and delivers to the Company and SPAC a Stockholder Support Agreement in substantially the form of this Agreement with respect to the Shares subject to such Transfer.

Annex G-2

Table of Contents

4. Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder on behalf of itself and its Affiliates hereby agrees not to assert, exercise or perfect, directly or indirectly, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any appraisal rights (including without limitation under Section 262 of the DGCL) with respect to the Merger and any rights to dissent with respect to the Merger or to oppose any reorganization or amendment designed to facilitate drag along rights or otherwise facilitate the BCA.

5. Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder. The Stockholder represents and warrants to SPAC as follows:

(a) The execution, delivery and performance by the Stockholder or its Affiliate of this Agreement and the consummation by the Stockholder or its Affiliate of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to the Stockholder or its Affiliate, (ii) require any consent, approval or authorization of, declaration, filing or registration with, or notice to, any Person, (iii) result in the creation of any encumbrance on any Shares (other than under this Agreement, the BCA and the other agreements contemplated by the BCA), or (iv) if the Stockholder or its Affiliate is not a natural Person, conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of the Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ governing documents, as applicable.

As of the date of this Agreement, the Stockholder or its Affiliate has the sole power (as currently in effect) to vote and, in the case of Shares owned of record, right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver the Shares, and the Stockholder and its Affiliates do not own, directly or indirectly, or have the right to direct the vote of any other shares of Company Capital Stock.

(c) The Stockholder or its Affiliates, in each case except as provided in this Agreement or the Company’s Governing Documents, (i) has full voting power, full power of disposition and full power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein whether by ownership or by proxy, in each case, with respect to the Shares, (ii) has not entered into any voting agreement or voting trust (and the Stockholder has no knowledge of any such voting agreement or voting trust in effect) with respect to any Shares that is inconsistent with the Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement or would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the performance by the Stockholder or its Affiliate of their obligations under this Agreement, (iii) has not granted a proxy or power of attorney with respect to any Shares that is inconsistent with the Stockholder’s or its Affiliates’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement (and the Stockholder has no knowledge of any such proxy or power of attorney in effect), and (iv) has not entered into any agreement or undertaking that is otherwise inconsistent with, or would interfere with, or prohibit or prevent it from satisfying, its obligations pursuant to this Agreement (and the Stockholder has no knowledge of any such agreement or undertaking).

(d) The Stockholder has the power, authority and capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Stockholder.

(e) As of the date of this Agreement, there are no Proceedings pending against the Stockholder or its Affiliate or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against the Stockholder or its Affiliate that, in any manner, questions the beneficial or record ownership of the Shares or the validity of this Agreement, or challenges or seeks to prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by the Stockholder or its Affiliates of their obligations under this Agreement.

(f) The Stockholder is a sophisticated stockholder and has adequate information concerning the business and financial condition of SPAC and the Company to make an informed decision regarding this Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA and has independently made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that SPAC and the Company have not made and do not make any representation or warranty to Stockholder, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which the Stockholder is a party.

(g) Other than as provided in the BCA, neither the Stockholder nor its Affiliates has made, nor has any third party made on behalf of the Stockholder or its Affiliate, any arrangement for any broker’s, finder’s, financial advisor’s or other similar fee or commission for which SPAC, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries is or would reasonably be expected to be liable in connection with the BCA or this Agreement or any of the respective transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(h) The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that SPAC is entering into the BCA in reliance upon the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations, warranties, covenants and other agreements of the Stockholder contained herein.

(c) If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

(d) This Agreement is intended to create, and creates, a contractual relationship and is not intended to create, and does not create, any agency, partnership, joint venture, or any like relationship between the parties hereto or among any other Company Stockholders entering into stockholder support agreements with the Company and/or SPAC. The Stockholder is not affiliated with any other holder of securities of the Company entering into a stockholder support agreement with the Company and/or SPAC in connection with the BCA and has acted independently regarding its decision to enter into this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in SPAC any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares.

(e) This Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which the Stockholder is a party (together with the BCA to the extent referred to herein) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), by any party without the prior express written consent of the other parties hereto.

(f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

(g) This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto. The provisions of this Agreement may not be waived, except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition, or provision.

Annex G-5

Table of Contents

(h) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity, upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. 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 any party does not perform his, her or its respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with their respective specific terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that each party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which the same is entitled at law or in equity. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

(i) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal Proceeding may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court.

The Company (whether on its own good faith determination or as the result of a request for withdrawal by persons pursuant to separate written contractual obligations) may withdraw a Registration Statement filed with the Commission in connection with a Piggyback Registration at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration shall so notify the Company, in writing, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, but not more than fifteen (15) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on a Shelf, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a Shelf to register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 if the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000.

2.3.2 If any Shelf ceases to be effective under the Securities Act for any reason at any time while Registrable Securities included thereon are still outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable cause such Shelf to again become effective under the Securities Act (including obtaining the prompt withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf), and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as promptly as is reasonably practicable amend such Shelf in a manner reasonably expected to result in the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of such Shelf or file an additional registration statement (a “Subsequent Shelf Registration”) registering the resale of all Registrable Securities including on such Shelf, and pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and reasonably requested by, any Holder. If a Subsequent Shelf Registration is filed, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) cause such Subsequent Shelf Registration to become effective under the Securities Act as promptly as is reasonably practicable after the filing thereof and (ii) keep such Subsequent Shelf Registration 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 included thereon. Any such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on Form S-3 to the extent that the Company is eligible to use such form. Otherwise, such Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be on another appropriate form. In the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon request of a Holder shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, a Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or a Subsequent Shelf Registration and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, the Company shall only be required to cause such Registrable Securities to be so covered once annually after inquiry of the Holders.

2.3.3 Subject to Section 3.4, at any time and from time to time after a Shelf has been declared effective by the Commission, the Sponsor may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least five (5) Business Days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such holder (including to those set forth herein). The Sponsor shall have the right to select the underwriter(s) for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the Company’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Demanding Holders may demand an aggregate of not more than four (4) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Agreement), and the Company is not obligated to effect (x) more than two (2) Underwritten Shelf Takedowns per year or (y) an Underwritten Shelf Takedown within sixty (60) days after the closing of a prior Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect such Underwritten Shelf Takedowns, including the filing of any prospectus supplement or any post-effective amendments and otherwise taking any action necessary to include therein all disclosure and language deemed necessary or advisable by the Demanding Holder to effect such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to this subsection 2.3.3 shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

2.3.4 If the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advises the Company, the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting Holders (if any) in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Sponsor and the Takedown Requesting Holders (if any) desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Sponsor that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum

Annex H-8

Table of Contents

Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), the shares of Company Common Stock or other equity securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, if any, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities, determined Pro Rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Takedown Requesting Holder has so requested to be included in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

2.3.5 The Sponsor shall have the right to withdraw from an Underwritten Shelf Takedown for any or no reason whatsoever upon written notification to the Company and the Underwriter or Underwriters (if any) of its intention to withdraw from such Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company shall be responsible for the Registration Expenses incurred in connection with an Underwritten Shelf Takedown prior to a withdrawal under this subsection 2.3.5.

2.4 Restrictions on Registration Rights. If (A) during the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of the filing of, and ending on a date one hundred and twenty (120) days after the effective date of, a Company initiated Registration and provided that the Company has delivered written notice to the Holders prior to receipt of a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.1.1 and it continues to actively employ, in good faith, all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the applicable Registration Statement to become effective; (B) the Holders have requested an Underwritten Registration and the Company and the Holders are unable to obtain the commitment of underwriters to firmly underwrite the offer; or (C) in the good faith judgment of the Board such Registration would be seriously detrimental to the Company and the Board concludes as a result that it is essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, then in each case the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is therefore essential to defer the filing of such Registration Statement. In such event, the Company shall have the right to defer such filing for a period of not more than sixty (60) days; provided, however, that the Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any 12-month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Registration shall be effected or permitted and no Registration Statement shall become effective, with respect to any (i) Sponsor Earnout Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Letter Agreement) or (ii) New Plum Common Shares issuable pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Business Combination Agreement, held by any Holder, until such Registerable Securities have vested pursuant to the terms of the Sponsor Letter Agreement or Business Combination Agreement, as applicable.

Annex H-9

Table of Contents

3.1.3 prior to filing a Registration Statement or Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, furnish without charge to the Underwriters, if any, and 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 Underwriters and the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration or the legal counsel for any such Holders may request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holders;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.6 provide a transfer agent or warrant agent, as applicable, and registrar for all such Registrable Securities no later than the effective date of such Registration Statement;

3.1.7 advise each seller of such Registrable Securities, promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge thereof, of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose and promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued;

3.1.9 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.10 permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriters, if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter to participate, at each such person’s own expense, in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter, attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriters enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information; and, provided further that such Holders, Underwriters, and their legal counsel must provide any comments promptly (and in any event with five (5) Business Days) after receipt of such Registration Statement;

3.1.11 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration, 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;

Annex H-10

Table of Contents

3.1.12 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, obtain an opinion, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration, addressed to the Holders, 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 such opinion is being given 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 the Company;

3.1.14 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.15 if the Registration involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000, use its reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.16 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

3.2 Registration Expenses. The Registration Expenses of all Registrations shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees, Underwriter marketing costs and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Holder does not provide the Company with its requested Holder Information, the Company may exclude such Holder’s Registrable Securities from the applicable Registration Statement or Prospectus if the Company determines in good faith that such information is necessary to effect the Registration and such Holder continues thereafter to withhold such information. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement (it being understood that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file such supplement or amendment as soon as practicable after the time of such notice), or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of any Registration at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure or would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company 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 sixty (60) days, determined in good faith by the Company to be necessary for such purpose. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 3.4.

3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to use commercially reasonable efforts to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Company Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission, to the extent that such rule or such successor rule is available to the Company), including providing any reasonably requested and customary legal opinions. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

ARTICLE 4
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers and directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriters, their officers, directors and each person who controls such Underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may

Annex H-12

Table of Contents

exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 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 or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 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 this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

5.8 Amendments and Modifications. Upon the written consent of the Company and the Holders of at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities at the time in question, compliance with any of the provisions, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement may be waived, or any of such provisions, covenants or conditions may be amended or modified; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of the shares of the Company, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected. No course of dealing between any Holder or the Company and any other party hereto or any failure or delay on the part of a Holder or the Company in exercising any rights or remedies under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights or remedies of any Holder or the Company. 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.

Waivers may be made in advance or after the right waived has arisen or the breach or default waived has occurred. Any waiver may be conditional. No waiver of any breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof nor of any other agreement or provision herein contained. No waiver or extension of time for performance of any obligations or acts shall be deemed a waiver or extension of the time for performance of any other obligations or acts.

5.11 Remedies Cumulative. In the event that the Company fails to observe or perform any covenant or agreement to be observed or performed under this Agreement, the Holders may proceed to protect and enforce its rights by suit in equity or action at law, whether for specific performance of any term contained in this Agreement or for an injunction against the breach of any such term or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Agreement or to enforce any other legal or equitable right, or to take any one or more of such actions, without being required to post a bond. None of the rights, powers or remedies conferred under this Agreement shall be mutually exclusive, and each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, power or remedy, whether conferred by this Agreement or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise.

5.12 Other Registration Rights. The Company represents and warrants that no person, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of a conflict between any such agreement or agreements (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Original RRA) and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the twelfth anniversary of the date of this Agreement and (ii) the date as of which (A) no Registrable Securities remain outstanding (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission)) or (B) the Holders of all Registrable Securities are permitted to sell all Registrable Securities without registration pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision) under the Securities Act with no volume or other restrictions or limitations. The provisions of Article IV shall survive any termination. If the Business Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Closing, then this Agreement shall automatically be null and void and the provisions of the Original RRA shall be automatically reinstated and in effect.

FAIRNESS OPINION

[Houlihan Capital Letterhead]

December 28, 2023 |  | PRIVATE & CONFIDENTIAL

Board of Directors
Plum Acquisition Corp. I
2021 Fillmore Street Suite 2089
San Francisco, CA 94115

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Houlihan Capital, LLC (“Houlihan Capital”) understands that Plum Acquisition Corp. I (“Plum, “Client”, or “Company”) has entered into a business combination transaction (the “Transaction”) with Veea Inc. (“Veea” or “Target”), whereby all of the outstanding shares of capital stock, options, warrants and other equity interest of Target will be exchanged for a total consideration as set forth therein, consisting of shares, options warrants or other direct or indirect equity interests of the combined company resulting from the Transaction (the “Combined Company”) representing a number of common shares of the Combined Company approximately equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (i) $180 million; by (b) $10.00.

Pursuant to an engagement letter dated November 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) engaged Houlihan Capital as its financial advisor to render an opinion (the “Opinion”), as to whether, as of the date of such Opinion, the consideration to be issued, paid or exchanged to shareholders of the Company in the Transaction is fair from a financial point of view to the security holders of the Company that are unaffiliated with the Company’s sponsor, Plum Partners, LLC (the “Unaffiliated Shareholders”). In that regard, pursuant to the engagement letter, on November 20, 2023, at the request of the Board, Houlihan Capital orally delivered the Opinion to the Board based upon and subject to the scope of review, analyses, assumptions, limitations, qualifications, and other matters described herein. This Opinion provides the same opinion, in writing, as that given by Houlihan Capital on November 20, 2023.

In completing our analysis for purposes of the Opinion set forth herein, Houlihan Capital’s investigation included, among other things, the following:

• Held discussions with certain members of Company management (“Company Management”) and Target management (“Target Management”) regarding the Transaction, Target’s historical performance and financial projections, and Target’s future outlook;

• Reviewed information provided by Client and Target including, but not limited to:

• Annual financial statements for Veea for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022;

• Projected revenue for Veea for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and 2024;

• Non-binding executed Term Sheet, dated October 11, 2023;

• Various Company Presentations outlining Target partners and products;

• A Sources and Uses table for the Transaction;

• Ownership structure spreadsheet pro forma for the Transaction;

• Relied upon representations made by Company Management concerning, among other things, certain forecasted financial information of Veea prepared by Target Management (the “Forecast”) set forth in a letter, dated December 21, 2023 (the “Representation Letter”);

Annex K-1

Table of Contents

• Reviewed the industry in which the Target operates, which included a review of (i) certain industry research, (ii) certain comparable publicly traded companies and (iii) certain mergers and acquisitions of comparable businesses;

• Developed indications of value for the Target using generally accepted valuation methodologies; and

• Reviewed certain other relevant, publicly available information, including economic, industry, and Target specific information.

Our analyses contained herein are confidential and addressed to, and provided exclusively for use by, the Board. Our Opinion may be used (i) by the Board in evaluating the Transaction, (ii) in disclosure materials to shareholders of the Company, (iii) in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including the filing of the Opinion and the data and analysis presented by Houlihan Capital to the Board), and (iv) in any litigation pertaining to matters relating to the Transaction and covered in the Opinion.

No opinion, counsel, or interpretation was intended or should be inferred with respect to matters that require legal, regulatory, accounting, insurance, tax, or other similar professional advice. Furthermore, the Opinion does not address any aspect of the Board’s recommendation to its shareholders with respect to the adoption of the Transaction or how any shareholder of the Company should vote with respect to such adoption or the statutory or other method by which the Company is seeking such vote in accordance with the terms of the Transaction, applicable law, and the Company’s organizational instruments.

This Opinion is delivered to each recipient subject to the conditions, scope of engagement, limitations and understandings set forth in the Opinion and subject to the understanding that the obligations of Houlihan Capital and any of its affiliates in the Transaction are solely corporate obligations, and no officer, director, principal, employee, affiliate, or member of Houlihan Capital or their successors or assigns shall be subjected to any personal liability whatsoever (other than for intentional misconduct, fraud, or gross negligence), nor will any such claim be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or its affiliates against any such person with respect to the Opinion other than Houlihan Capital.

We have relied upon and assumed, without independent verification, the accuracy, completeness and reasonableness of the financial, legal, tax, and other information discussed with or reviewed by us and have assumed such accuracy and completeness for purposes of rendering an opinion. In addition, we have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of the Company or Target, nor, except as stated herein, have we been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal. We have further relied upon the assurances and representations from Company Management that they are unaware of any facts that would make the information provided to us to be incomplete or misleading in any material respect for the purposes of the Opinion. Company Management has represented: (i) that it directed Houlihan Capital to rely on certain forecasted financial information (the “Forecast”) prepared by Target’s management (“Target Management”); (ii) the Forecast represents Company Management’s good faith estimate of the projected future financial performance of the Combined Company for the periods stated therein; (iii) after conducting such due diligence as Company Management has deemed necessary or appropriate, Company Management has no reason to believe that Houlihan Capital should not rely upon the Forecast; (iv) Houlihan Capital had no role whatsoever in the preparation of the Forecast; (v) Houlihan Capital was not asked to provide an outside “reasonableness review” of the Forecast; (vi) the Company did not engage Houlihan Capital to audit or otherwise validate any of the Forecast’s underlying inputs and assumptions; and (vii) that Houlihan Capital accurately summarized and presented the Forecast. We have not assumed responsibility for any independent verification of information provided by Company Management or Target Management, nor have we assumed any obligation to verify this information. Nothing has come to our attention in the course of this engagement which would lead us to believe that (i) any information provided to us or assumptions made by us are insufficient or inaccurate in any material respect or (ii) it is unreasonable for us to use and rely upon such information or make such assumptions.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Forecast included, among other things:

• Forecasted revenue for the Target for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2024.

• Normalized gross margins for Veea projected to be between 30 – 40% for the hardware portion of the business and 70 – 80% for the software portion of the business.

Several analytical methodologies were considered, and a subset of those were employed, in arriving at the Opinion. Each analytical technique has inherent strengths and weaknesses, and the nature of the available information may further affect the value of particular techniques. In arriving at the Opinion, Houlihan Capital did not attribute any particular weight to any single analysis or factor, but instead, made certain qualitative and subjective judgments as to the significance and relevance of each analysis and factor relative to all other analyses and factors performed and considered by us and in the context of the circumstances of the Transaction. Accordingly, Houlihan Capital believes that its analyses must be considered as a whole, because considering any portion of such analyses and factors, without considering all analyses and factors in their entirety, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the process underlying, and used by Houlihan Capital as support for, the conclusion set forth in the Opinion.

In our analysis and in connection with the preparation of the Opinion, Houlihan Capital has made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business, market and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of any party involved in the Transaction. Houlihan Capital’s Opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to it as of, the date of the Opinion. Houlihan Capital is under no obligation to update, revise, reaffirm or withdraw the Opinion, or otherwise comment on or consider events occurring after the date of the Opinion.

The Opinion is our only formal written opinion as to whether, as of the date of such Opinion, the Consideration issued, paid or exchanged to shareholders of the Company in the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view to the Unaffiliated Shareholders. The Opinion does not constitute a recommendation to proceed with the Transaction. Houlihan Capital was not requested to opine as to, and the Opinion does not address, the (i) underlying business decision of Company, its shareholders, or any other party to proceed with or effect the proposed Transaction, (ii) financial fairness of any aspect of the proposed Transaction not expressly addressed in the Opinion, (iii) terms of the Transaction (except with respect to financial fairness), including, without limitation, the closing conditions and any of the other provisions thereof, (iv) fairness of any portion or aspect of the proposed Transaction to the holders of any securities, creditors, or other constituencies of the Company, or any other party, other than those set forth in the Opinion, (v) relative corporate or other merits of the proposed Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for the Company, or (vi) tax, accounting, or legal consequences of the proposed Transaction to either the Company, its shareholders, or any other party.

Houlihan Capital, a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) member, as part of its investment banking services, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, private placements, bankruptcy, capital restructuring, solvency analyses, stock buybacks, and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Neither Houlihan Capital, nor any of its principals or affiliates, has any ownership or other beneficial interests in any party to the Transaction or any of their affiliates and has provided no previous investment banking services to any party to the Transaction or any of their affiliates. Houlihan Capital was not requested to and did not (i) initiate any discussions with, or solicit any indications of interest from, third parties with respect to the Transaction or any alternatives to the proposed Transaction, (ii) negotiate or recommend the terms of the proposed Transaction, or (iii) advise the Board with respect to alternatives to the proposed Transaction. Houlihan Capital has received and is receiving a fixed fee from the Company relating to its services in providing this Opinion that is not contingent on the consummation of the proposed Transaction.

In an engagement letter dated November 3, 2023, Client has agreed to indemnify Houlihan Capital for certain specified matters in connection with Houlihan Capital’s services relating to the Opinion.

Subject to the foregoing qualifications, assumptions, and limitations, as of the date hereof, it is Houlihan Capital’s opinion that the Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view to the Unaffiliated Shareholders. The Opinion was unanimously approved by the Fairness Opinion Committee of Houlihan Capital.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Houlihan Capital, LLC

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 willful default, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. Following the Business Combination, the Proposed Charter and the Proposed Bylaws will provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud or willful default. Plum has purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures its officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures Plum against its obligations to indemnify its officers and directors.

Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever. Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to 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:

(a) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this 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 this registration

II-3

Table of Contents

statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Filing Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this registration statement or any material change to such information in this registration statement.

(b) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, 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.

(c) 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.

(d) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(e) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act 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:

(i) any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) 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;

(iii) 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

(iv) any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(f) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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

Table of Contents

settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(g) 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.

(h) That, every prospectus: (1) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (2) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities 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 Act, 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.

(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 S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(j) 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.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act 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 SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities 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.
