The Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor have been acquired for investment purposes. The Sponsor, Cantor, CFGM and Mr. Lutnick may make further acquisitions of the Ordinary Shares from time to time and, subject to certain restrictions, may dispose of any or all of the Ordinary Shares owned by the Sponsor at any time depending on an ongoing evaluation of the investment in such Ordinary Shares, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors. However, such Ordinary Shares are subject to certain lock-up restrictions as further described in Item 6 below. In order to finance transaction costs in connection with an intended initial business combination, the Sponsor has committed to provide up to $1,750,000 to the Issuer to fund the Issuer's expenses relating to investigating and selecting a target business and other working capital requirements prior to the Issuer's initial business combination.

Under various agreements between the Issuer and the Sponsor as further described in Item 6 below, the Sponsor has agreed (i) to vote its shares in favor of any proposed initial business combination (except that any public shares such parties may purchase in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") would not be voted in favor of approving the business combination transaction) and (ii) not to redeem any shares in connection with a shareholder vote (or tender offer) to approve (or in connection with) a proposed initial business combination.
