The Extension was funded by the proceeds from a promissory note (the “Note”) issued by the Company to Circle or its registered assigns or successors in interest. Circle entered into a transaction agreement with the Company, among others, on February 16, 2022 (the “Transaction Agreement”). The Note is non-interest bearing and payable in cash upon the closing of the Company’s initial business combination. In the event that the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement are not consummated for any reason, no payment will be due under the Note and the principal balance of the Note will be forgiven.
