Authorization of the Founder Shares The Founder Shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Founder Shares In April 2021, the Company issued to CCIF Global LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), an aggregate of 4,312,500 Class B ordinary shares of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000 (the “Founder Shares,” and together with the Class A Shares, collectively, the “Ordinary Shares”), in a private placement exempt from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). No underwriting discounts, commissions, or placement fees have been or will be payable in connection with the purchase of Founder Shares. Except as described in the Registration Statement, none of the Founder Shares may be sold, assigned or transferred by the Sponsor until the earlier of (a) one year following the consummation of the Business Combination, (b) following the consummation of the Business Combination, the last sale price of the Class A Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share subdivisions, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, and (c) the date following the consummation of the Business Combination on which the Company consummates a liquidation, merger, stock exchange or similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s public shareholders having the right to exchange their Ordinary Shares for cash, securities, or other property. The Founder Shares shall be subject to restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Insider Letters (as defined below). The holders of Founder Shares shall have no right to any liquidating distributions with respect to any portion of the Founder Shares in the event the Company fails to consummate the Business Combination. The holders of the Founder Shares shall not have redemption rights with respect to the Founder Shares. In the event that the Over-allotment Option is not exercised in full, the Sponsor will be required to forfeit such number of Founder Shares such that the Founder Shares then outstanding will comprise 20% of the issued and outstanding Ordinary Shares (but not including any Private Placement Securities (as defined below)) after giving effect to the Offering and exercise, if any, of the Over-allotment Option. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Shares concurrently with the consummation of the Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment as described in the Prospectus.
