- Examine the Expense Advance Agreement (Exhibit 10.4) and Promissory Note (Exhibit 10.6) to understand the terms, interest rates, and repayment conditions of the working capital loans from the Sponsor.
- Confirm the specific redemption rights and procedures outlined in the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (Exhibit 3.1).
- Assess the Sponsor's lock-up agreement regarding the 300,000 Private Placement Shares and any permitted transferees.
