In exchange for the foregoing commitments not to redeem such Class A common stock, the Sponsor has agreed to transfer Class B common stock of the Company held by the Sponsor to such third party or third parties immediately following consummation of an initial business combination if they continue to hold such Non-Redeemed Shares through the Special Meeting. The Non-Redemption Agreements will increase the amount of funds that remain in the Company’s trust account following the Extension Meeting.
