WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate an initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”), as set forth in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), File Number 333-[●] under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”).
WHEREAS, the Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 600,000 Shares (and up to 660,000 Shares if the underwriters in the Public Offering exercise
their option to purchase additional Shares in full) (the “Private Placement Shares”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows:
AGREEMENT

aggregate purchase price of $6,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price by wire transfer of
immediately available funds in the following amounts: (i) $2,000,000 to the Company at a financial institution to be chosen by the Company, and (ii) $4,000,000 to the trust account (the “Trust Account”) maintained by Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, acting as trustee, in each case in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions, at least one (1)

Date (if any) and the IPO Closing Date, a “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the
Purchaser shall purchase from the Company, up to 60,000 Private Placement Shares (or, to the extent the option to purchase additional Shares is not exercised in full, a lesser number of Private Placement Shares in proportion to portion of the
option that is exercised) at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share for an aggregate purchase price of up to $600,000 (the “Option
Purchase Price”). The Purchaser shall pay the Option Purchase Price in accordance with the Company’s wire instruction by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Trust Account, at least one (1) business day prior to any Option

of the Securities Act and will become freely tradable only after the expiration of the lockup described above in clause (a) and they are registered pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement (as defined below), or an exemption
from registration is available and the restrictions described above in clause (a) have expired.

(ii) The execution and delivery by the Purchaser of this Agreement and the fulfillment of and compliance with the terms hereof by the Purchaser does not and
shall not as of each Closing Date (a) conflict with or result in a breach by the Purchaser of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (b) constitute a default under, (c) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance

subject, or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Purchaser is subject, except for any filings required after the date hereof under federal or state securities laws.
C. Investment Representations.
(i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Shares for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view towards, or for resale in
connection with, any public sale or distribution thereof.
(ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited
investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Purchaser has not experienced a disqualifying event as enumerated pursuant to Rule 506(d) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(iii) The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Shares are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the
registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth
herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Private Placement Shares.
(iv) The Purchaser did not decide to enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule
502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer
and sale of the Private Placement Shares which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the Company. The Purchaser understands that its
investment in the Private Placement Shares involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the acquisition of the Private
Placement Shares.
(vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any
recommendation or endorsement of the Private Placement Shares or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Private Placement Shares by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the
Private Placement Shares.
3
(vii) The Purchaser understands that: (a) the Private Placement Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as specifically set forth in the Registration and
Shareholder Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register the Private Placement Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any
exemption thereunder. In this regard, the Purchaser understands that the SEC has taken the position that promoters or affiliates of a blank check company and their transferees, both before and after an initial Business Combination, are deemed to be
“underwriters” under the Securities Act when reselling the securities of a blank check company. Based on that position, Rule
144 adopted pursuant to the Securities Act would not be available for resale transactions of the Private Placement Shares despite technical compliance with the requirements of such Rule, and the Private Placement Shares can be resold only through a
registered offering or in reliance upon another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
(viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with investments
in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Private Placement Shares and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Private
Placement Shares in the amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for
liquidity which would be jeopardized by the investment in the Private Placement Shares. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investments in the Private Placement Shares.
(ix) The Purchaser understands that the Private Placement Shares shall bear the following legend and appropriate “stop transfer restrictions”:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS, AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION FROM
REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT AND SUCH LAWS WHICH, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL, IS AVAILABLE.
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO LOCKUP PROVISIONS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF DURING THE TERM OF THE LOCKUP.”
Section 4. Conditions of the Purchaser’s Obligations. The

Section 6. Miscellaneous.

provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not.

F. Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or
waived as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.
