Reporting Date: April 13, 2026 (Date of earliest event reported).
Event: Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement (Business Combination Agreement or "BCA") with Trasteel Holding S.A. (the "Company"), a Luxembourg entity. The transaction involves the formation of a new public entity ("Pubco") and a merger subsidiary ("Merger Sub").
Structure: Upon closing, Pubco will acquire all Company Ordinary Shares in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares. Simultaneously, Merger Sub will merge with Sizzle II, with Sizzle II continuing as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco. Sizzle II securityholders will receive Pubco Ordinary Shares.

Transaction Consideration: The Company's shareholders (Sellers) will receive an aggregate of $800,000,000 in Pubco Ordinary Shares. For valuation purposes, each Pubco Ordinary Share is valued at $10.00.
Financing Requirements:
- PIPE Financing: The parties agreed to seek binding commitments for aggregate equity financing proceeds of at least $75,000,000.
- Bridge Debt Financing: The Company is permitted to solicit up to $75,000,000 in debt financing (potentially convertible) from specified investors.

Guidance, Risks, and Conditions to Closing

- Shareholder approval from both Sizzle II and the Company.
- Effectiveness of the Form F-4 Registration Statement.
- Approval of Pubco's listing on Nasdaq or NYSE American.
- Satisfaction of the Minimum Cash Condition ($75 million).
- Delivery of PCAOB audited financial statements by the Company.
- Absence of a Material Adverse Effect on either party.
Termination Rights: The BCA may be terminated if conditions are not met by the "Outside Date" (the later of October 10, 2026, or four months after delivery of audited financials), or in the event of material breaches, regulatory prohibitions, or failure to obtain shareholder approval.
Risks and Contingencies:
