Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd.

Jalan 3/93, 2 ½ Miles, Cheras
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 55200
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Bukit Jalil Global Acquisition 1 Ltd. (the “Company”), a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring one or more businesses or entities (a “Business Combination”), intends to register its securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”), in connection with its initial public offering (“IPO”), pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-272605) (“Registration Statement”).
The undersigned hereby commits that it will purchase 386,807 units (or up to 424,307 units if the over-allotment option is exercised in full by A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners, the representative of underwriters of the IPO) of the Company (“Private Units”), each Private Unit consisting of one Ordinary Share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Share”), one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each warrant to acquire one Ordinary Share (each a “Warrant”), and one right to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share (each a “Right”), at $10.00 per Private Unit, for a purchase price of $3,868,070(or up to $4,243,070 if the over-allotment option is exercised in full by A.G.P. / Alliance Global Partners) (the “Private Unit Purchase Price”).
At least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement, the undersigned will cause the Private Unit Purchase Price to be delivered to the Company by wire transfer as set forth in the instructions attached as Exhibit A to hold in a non-interest bearing account until the Company consummates the IPO.
The consummation of the purchase and issuance of the Private Units shall occur simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company shall deposit the Private Unit Purchase Price, without interest or deduction, into the trust fund (“Trust Fund”) established by the Company for the benefit of the Company’s public shareholders as described in the Registration Statement. If the Company does not complete the IPO within ten (10) days from the date of this letter, the Private Unit Purchase Price (without interest or deduction) will be returned to the undersigned.
The Private Units will be identical to the units to be sold by the Company in the IPO. Additionally, the undersigned agrees:
● | to vote the Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units in favor of any proposed Business Combination; |
| ● | not to propose, or vote in favor of, an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Company’s Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO if the Company does not complete an initial Business Combination within 12 months from the closing of the IPO (or up to 18 months, as applicable), unless the Company provides the holders of Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO with the opportunity to redeem their Ordinary Shares upon approval of any such amendment at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount of the Trust Fund, including interest earned on Trust Fund and not previously released to the Company to pay the Company’s franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Ordinary Shares sold in the IPO; |
1 |
| ● | not to convert any Ordinary Shares included in the Private Units into the right to receive cash from the Trust Fund in connection with a shareholder vote to approve either a Business Combination or an amendment to the provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, and not to tender the Private Units in connection with a tender offer conducted prior to the closing of a Business Combination; |
| ● | the undersigned will not participate in any liquidation distribution with respect to the Private Units (but will participate in liquidation distributions with respect to any units or Ordinary Shares purchased by the undersigned in the IPO or in the open market) if the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination; |
| ● | the Private Units will include any additional terms or restrictions as is customary in other similarly structured blank check company offerings or as may be reasonably required by the underwriters in the IPO in order to consummate the IPO, each of which will be set forth in the Registration Statement. |
Further, the undersigned agrees that its Private Units, and any underlying securities are not transferable or salable until the completion of the Company’s initial Business Combination, except for transfer (i) among the insiders or to the Company’s insiders’ members, officers, directors, consultants or their affiliates, (ii) to a holder’s shareholders or members upon the holder’s liquidation, in each case if the holder is an entity, (iii) by bona fide gift to a member of the holder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is the holder or a member of the holder’s immediate family, in each case for estate planning purposes, (iv) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death, (v) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order, (vi) to the Company for no value for cancellation in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination, (vii) in connection with the consummation of a Business Combination at prices no greater than the price at which the securities were originally purchased, (viii) in the event of the Company’s liquidation prior to its consummation of an initial Business Combination or (ix) in the event that, subsequent to the consummation of an initial Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital share exchange or other similar transaction which results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property, in each case (except for clauses (vi), (viii) or (ix) or with the Company’s prior written consent) on the condition that prior to such registration for transfer, the security agent shall be presented with written documentation pursuant to which each transferee or the trustee or legal guardian for such permitted transferee agrees to be bound by the transfer restrictions contained in the warrant agreement and any other applicable agreement the transferor is bound by.
The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the purchaser of the Private Units will execute agreements in form and substance typical for transactions of this nature necessary to effectuate the foregoing agreements and obligations prior to the consummation of the IPO as are reasonably acceptable to the undersigned, including but not limited to an insider letter.

In the event the undersigned has any Claim against the Company under this Agreement, the undersigned shall pursue such Claim solely against the Company and its assets outside the Trust Fund and not against the property or any monies in the Trust Fund, except for redemption and liquidation rights, if any, the undersigned may have in respect of any Ordinary Shares held by it; and |
|
|
|
| (i) | The undersigned xxxxxx agrees that neither it, nor any person or entity acting on its behalf, will engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company prior to the closing of the Business Combination.
