WHEREAS, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the final prospectus relating to the IPO (SEC File No. 333-263874), AIMA is obligated to pay the several underwriters of the IPO the principal sum of $2,817,500 (the “Deferred Underwriting Commission”) upon the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination (as defined below), and the Company agreed that it will pay the Deferred Underwriting Commission directly from the Trust Account to the several underwriters of the IPO, including D. Boral.

WHEREAS, subject to satisfaction or waiver of the closing conditions as set forth in the Merger Agreement, the Business Combination is scheduled to close on or about June 28, 2025, at which time, the Deferred Underwriting Commission to the several underwriters would be immediately due and payable.
WHEREAS, the Company has requested of D. Boral that, in lieu of the Company tendering the Deferred Underwriting Commission in cash, D. Boral accepts cash and ordinary shares of PubCo as satisfaction of the Deferred Underwriting Commission with regard to D. Boral.
WHEREAS, in lieu of collecting any portion of the Deferred Underwriting Commission in cash at the time of the closing of the Business Combination, D. Boral hereby agrees to accept as full satisfaction of the Deferred Underwriting Commission, the specific allocated payments of (i) $80,000 in cash at the time of the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”); and (ii) 132,875 of newly issued ordinary shares of PubCo (the “Ordinary Shares”; when multiplied by $10.00 per share shall equal to $1,328,750, the “Original Aggregate Share Value”), which shall be issued and delivered to D. Boral at the Closing (the “Effective Date”).
