Any fractional shares or warrants to be issued pursuant to the SPAC Continuance will be rounded down to the nearest whole share or warrant; and

(i) 根据SPAC的延续,(a)Focus Impact的每个已发行和流通股份,包括(I)Focus Impact的A类普通股的一股,面值每股0.0001美元(”A 类普通股“)以及(II)一份可赎回认股权证的一半,可行使权证以11.50美元的行使价行使一股A类普通股(”焦点影响认股权证“),在SPAC继续实施之前未分割成成分证券的证券应自动转换为与以下内容相同的新PubCo的证券:(i)等于反向拆分系数(定义见下文)的若干新PubCo普通股;(ii)以等于调整后行使价(定义)购买一股新PubCo普通股的认股权证,其行使价等于反向拆分系数的二分之一(1/2)下文),(b)未赎回的每股已发行和流通的A类普通股应保留已发行并自动转换为等于反向拆分系数的若干新PubCo普通股,(c)Focus Impact的B类普通股的每股已发行和已发行股份,面值每股0.0001美元(”B 类普通股“),应自动转换为等于反向拆分系数的若干新PubCo普通股,或根据赞助商附带信函(定义见下文)予以没收,以及(d)每份Focus Impact认股权证和向特拉华州有限责任公司Focus Impact Sponsor, LLC和我们的保荐人发行的认股权证(”赞助商“),在私募中,Focus Impact的首次公开募股同时完成,这使Focus Impact的持有人有权以每股11.50美元的价格购买整股A类普通股(”私募认股权证“再加上 FIAC 认股权证,”认股证“)将由New PubCo承担,并自动转换为以等于调整后行使行使价格等于反向拆分系数的多股新PubCo普通股的认股权证的权利。根据SPAC持续发行的任何零星股份或认股权证将向下四舍五入至最接近的整股或认股权证;以及

(ii) Pursuant to the Amalgamation, New PubCo shall issue, and the holders of Company Shares (as defined below) collectively shall be entitled to receive a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (a) the Common Amalgamation Consideration (as defined below), plus (b) solely to the extent any Multiple Voting Company Shares and Subordinate Voting Company Shares are required to be issued to Approved Financing Sources (as defined below) pursuant to Approved Financings (as defined below) in connection with the Closing, a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (i) each such Company Share multiplied by (ii) the Per Common Share Amalgamation Consideration (as defined below) in respect of such Company Share.

(ii) 根据合并,新PubCo应发行,公司股份(定义见下文)的持有人集体有权获得一定数量的新PubCo普通股,等于 (a) 普通合并对价(定义见下文),以及 (b) 仅限于要求向经批准的融资来源(定义见下文)发行任何多表决公司股份和次级投票公司股份与收盘相关的批准融资(定义见下文),新增的PubCo普通股数量等于(i)每股此类公司股份乘以 (ii) 该公司股份的每股普通股合并对价(定义见下文)。

The "Per Common Share Amalgamation Consideration" means (i) with respect to each Multiple Voting Company Share, an amount of New PubCo Common Shares equal to (a) ten, multiplied by (b) the Common Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and (ii) with respect to each Subordinated Voting Company Share, an amount of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Common Conversion Ratio. The "Common Conversion Ratio" means, in respect of a Company Share, the number equal to the Common Amalgamation Consideration divided by the Fully Diluted Common Shares Outstanding (as defined below). The "Common Amalgamation Consideration" means, with respect to the Company Securities, a number of New PubCo Common Shares equal to the product of (A) the Reverse Split Factor, multiplied by (B) the quotient of (i) the Amalgamation Consideration Value (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), divided by (ii) $10.20. The "Fully Diluted Common Shares Outstanding" means, without duplication, at any measurement time (a)(i) ten, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Multiple Voting Company Shares that are issued and outstanding, plus (b) the aggregate number of Subordinated Voting Company Shares that are issued and outstanding, plus (c) the aggregate number of Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise and conversion of the Company Options in accordance therewith, plus (d) the aggregate number of Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise and conversion of the Company Warrants in accordance therewith, plus (e) the aggregate number of Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued pursuant to the vesting of the restricted stock units of the Company in accordance therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, "Fully Diluted Common Shares Outstanding" shall not include any Subordinated Voting Company Shares to be issued (including pursuant to the exercise and conversion of Company Warrants) to any Approved Financing Source pursuant to an Approved Financing. The "Approved Financing Source" means a person engaged by the Company after the date of the First Amendment to act as an investment bank, financial advisor, broker or similar advisor in connection with any financing which has been approved by Focus Impact in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement (an "Approved Financing"). The "Reverse Split Factor" means an amount equal to the lesser of (a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Final Company Share Price by $0.6316 and (b) one. The "Final Company Share Price" means the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the Cboe Canada stock exchange, as of the end of last trading day prior to the Closing (and if there is no such closing price on the last trading day prior to the Closing, the closing price of the Subordinated Voting Company Shares on the last trading day prior to the Closing on which there is such a closing price), converted into United States dollars based on the Bank of Canada daily exchange rate on the last business day prior to the Closing. The "Adjusted Exercise Price" means $11.50 multiplied by a fraction (x) the numerator of which is the number of shares of common stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock purchasable immediately thereafter.

这个”每股普通股合并对价“指(i)对于每股多重投票公司股份,新增的PubCo普通股金额等于(a)十,乘以(b)普通转换率(定义见下文),(ii)对于每股次级投票公司股份,等于普通转换率的新PubCo普通股金额。这个”常用转化率“就公司股票而言,指等于普通合并对价除以全面摊薄后的已发行普通股(定义见下文)的数字。这个”常见的合并注意事项“就公司证券而言,指新增的PubCo普通股数量等于(A)反向拆分系数的乘积,乘以(b)(i)合并对价价值(定义见商业合并协议)的商数除以(ii)10.20美元。这个”完全摊薄后的已发行普通股“指在任何计量时间(a)(i)十,乘以(ii)已发行和流通的多重投票公司股票的总数,加上(b)已发行和流通的次级有表决权公司股票的总数,加上(c)根据行使和转换公司期权而发行的次级有表决权的公司股票总数,以及(d)行使和转换后将发行的附属有表决权公司股份的总数根据该协议发放的公司认股权证,以及(e)根据公司限制性股票单位归属后将发行的附属有表决权公司股票的总数。为避免疑问,“全面摊薄后的已发行普通股” 不应包括根据批准的融资向任何经批准的融资来源发行(包括根据行使和转换公司认股权证)的任何附属有表决权的公司股份。这个”批准的融资来源“指在第一修正案颁布之日后受公司聘请担任投资银行、财务顾问、经纪商或类似顾问的人,负责Focus Impact根据业务合并协议的条款批准的任何融资(an”批准的融资“)。这个”反向分割因子“是指等于(a)通过将最终公司股价除以0.6316美元和(b)一获得的商数中较小值的金额。这个”公司最终股价“指截至收盘前最后一个交易日结束时加拿大芝加哥期权交易所附属投票公司股票的收盘价(如果收盘前最后一个交易日没有这样的收盘价,则次级投票公司股票在收盘前最后一个交易日的收盘价)根据加拿大银行日报折算成美元收盘前最后一个工作日的汇率。这个”调整后的行使价“是指11.50美元乘以分数(x),其分子是调整前夕行使认股权证时可购买的普通股数量,(y)其分母应为此后可立即购买的普通股数量。

Concurrently with the execution of the First Amendment, Focus Impact and Sponsor entered into Amendment No. 1 (the "Sponsor Side Letter Amendment") to that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2023 (as so amended, the "Sponsor Side Letter"), pursuant to which, among other things, Sponsor agrees and acknowledges that (i) each share of Class B Common Stock (other than those subject to forfeiture pursuant to the Sponsor Side Letter) shall convert only into a number of New PubCo Common Shares (and not any other Focus Impact shares prior to such automatic conversion) equal to the Reverse Split Factor and (b) that each Private Placement Warrant shall only convert into the right to exercise such warrants for New PubCo Common Shares equal to the Reverse Split Factor. No fractional shares shall be issued and the total number of New PubCo Common Shares to be received by Sponsor shall be rounded down to the nearest whole share after aggregating all New PubCo Common Shares held by Sponsor. As a third-party beneficiary of the Sponsor Side Letter, the Company consented in all respects to the Sponsor Side Letter Amendment.

在执行第一修正案的同时,Focus Impact和赞助商签署了第1号修正案(”赞助商附带信函修正案“) 截至2023年9月12日的某份信函协议(经修订后,”赞助商附带信“),根据该条款,除其他外,赞助商同意并承认(i)B类普通股的每股(根据赞助商附函将被没收的股票除外)只能转换为等于反向拆分系数的新PubCo普通股(而不是此类自动转换之前的任何其他Focus Impact股票),以及(b)每份私募认股权证只能转换为行使此类认股权证的权利对于新的PubCo普通股,等于反向拆分系数。不得发行零碎股票,在汇总赞助商持有的所有新PubCo普通股后,保荐人获得的新PubCo普通股总数应向下四舍五入至最接近的整股。作为保荐人附带信函的第三方受益人,公司在所有方面均同意保荐人附带信函修正案。
