REINCORPORATION MERGER

2.1 Reincorporation Merger. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act, Parent shall be merged with and into Purchaser, the separate corporate existence of Parent shall cease and Purchaser shall continue as the surviving corporation. Purchaser as the surviving corporation after Reincorporation Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation”.

2.2 Reincorporation Merger Effective Time. On a date no later than three (3) Business Days after the satisfaction or waiver of all the conditions set forth in Article X that are required to be satisfied prior to the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause Reincorporation Merger to be consummated by filing the plan of merger (and any other documents required by the Cayman Companies Act) (collectively, the “CRPM”) with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands (the “Cayman Registrar”), in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. The effective time of Reincorporation Merger shall be the date that the CRPM has been registered by the Cayman Registrar, or such later time as specified in the CRPM (the “Reincorporation Merger Effective Time”).

2.3 Effect of Reincorporation Merger. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, the effect of Reincorporation Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the CRPM and the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Act. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of Parent and Purchaser prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall become the property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, debts, liabilities, duties and obligations of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation, which shall include the assumption by the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation of any and all agreements, covenants, duties and obligations of Parent set forth in this Agreement or any other outstanding agreement to which Parent is a party to be performed after the Closing, and all securities of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation issued and outstanding as a result of the conversion under Section 2.6 hereof shall be listed on the public trading market on which the Parent Ordinary Shares were trading prior to Reincorporation Merger.

2.4 Charter Documents. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of Parent or Purchaser, the memorandum and articles of association of Purchaser, as in effect immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, shall be amended and restated so that they read in their entirety as set forth in Exhibit E hereto, and as so amended and restated, shall be the memorandum and articles of association of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation (the “Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation”). The new name of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation will be “Tianji Tire Global Group (Cayman) Limited” or such other name as provided by Company and stated in the CRPM (the “Change of Name”).

2.5 Directors and Officers of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation. As of the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, the Persons constituting the officers and directors of Parent prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall be the officers and directors of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation (and holding the same title as held at Parent) until the Effective Time.

2.6 Effect on Issued Securities of Parent

(a) Conversion of Parent Ordinary Shares. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation, each issued and outstanding Parent Ordinary Share (including each Parent Ordinary Share held as a result of the Unit Separation, other than the Parent Excluded Shares, Redeeming Parent Shares and the Parent Dissenting Shares) shall be converted automatically into one Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Class A Ordinary Share. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, all Parent Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist. The holders of issued Parent Ordinary Shares immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, as evidenced by the register of members of Parent (the “Parent ROM”), shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Parent Ordinary Shares, except as provided herein or by Law. Each certificate (if any) previously evidencing Parent Ordinary Shares (other than the Parent Excluded Shares, Redeeming Parent Shares and Parent Dissenting Shares) shall be exchanged for a certificate representing the same number of Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Class A Ordinary Shares upon the surrender of such certificate in accordance with Section 2.7.

(b) Conversion of Parent Rights, Parent Warrants; Treatment of Parent Units. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, (i) all Parent Units will separate into their individual components of Parent Ordinary Shares, Parent Rights and Parent Warrants, and will cease separate existence and trading (the “Unit Separation”), (ii) each issued and outstanding Parent Right (including the Parent Rights held as a result of the Unit Separation) shall be converted into one Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Right, and will cease separate existence and trading, and (iii) each issued and outstanding Parent Warrant (including the Parent Warrants held as a result of the Unit Separation) shall cease to be a warrant with respect to Parent Ordinary Shares and be assumed by Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation and shall be converted into one Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Warrant, and will cease separate existence and trading. Each of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Rights and Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Warrants shall have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in the applicable agreements governing the Parent Rights and the Parent Warrants, respectively, that are outstanding immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time. At or prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, Purchaser shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for future issuance, and shall maintain such reservation for so long as any of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Rights or the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Warrants remain outstanding, a sufficient number of Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Class A Ordinary Shares for delivery upon the exercise of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Rights and the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Warrants after the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time and before the Effective Time.

(c) Cancellation of Parent Ordinary Shares Owned by Parent. At the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, if there are any Parent Ordinary Shares that are owned by Parent as treasury shares or any Parent Ordinary Shares owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time (the “Parent Excluded Shares”), such shares shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment therefor. In addition, as of the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, the one (1) Purchaser Ordinary Share owned by Parent immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall be automatically cancelled and extinguished without any conversion or consideration delivered in exchange therefor.

(d) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.6, none of the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation, Parent or any other Party hereto shall be liable to any person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.7 Surrender of Parent Ordinary Shares. All securities issued upon the surrender of the Parent Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such securities, provided that any restrictions on the sale and transfer of the Parent Ordinary Shares shall also apply to the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation Class A Ordinary Shares so issued in conversion.

2.8 Section 368 Reorganization. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, Parent and Purchaser intend that the Reincorporation Merger will constitute a transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder to which each of Parent and the Purchaser is a party under Section 368(b) of the Code (the “Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment”). Parent and Purchaser hereby (i) adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Reincorporation Merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-2(g), (ii) agree to file and retain such information as shall be required under Treasury Regulation Section 1.368-3, and (iii) agree to file all Tax and other informational returns on a basis consistent with the Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment, unless otherwise required by a Taxing Authority in connection with an audit. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Parent and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that no party is making any representation or warranty as to the qualification of Reincorporation Merger for the Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment or as to the effect, if any, that any transaction consummated on, after or prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time has or may have on any such reorganization status. Each of the Parent and Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that each (i) has had the opportunity to obtain independent legal and tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) is responsible for paying its own Taxes, including any adverse Tax consequences that may result if the Reincorporation Merger is determined not to qualify for the Reincorporation Intended Tax Treatment.

2.9 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Parent and Purchaser, the officers and directors of Parent and Purchaser are fully authorized in the name of their respective corporations or otherwise to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.10 Dissenter’s Rights. No Person who has validly exercised their dissenters’ rights in respect of the Reincorporation Merger pursuant to section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act (each a “Parent Dissenting Shareholder”) shall be entitled to receive the securities of Reincorporation Merger Surviving Corporation in accordance with Section 2.6(a) and (b), as applicable with respect to the Parent Ordinary Shares owned by such Parent Dissenting Shareholder immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time (“Parent Dissenting Shares”) unless and until such Person shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such Person’s dissenters’ rights under the Cayman Companies Act. Each Parent Dissenting Shareholder shall be entitled to receive only the payment resulting from the procedure in section 238 of the Cayman Companies Act with respect to the Parent Dissenting Shares owned by such Parent Dissenting Shareholder. If any Parent shareholder gives to Parent, before the Required Parent Shareholder Approval is obtained at the Parent Special Meeting, written objection to the Reincorporation Merger (each, a “RC Written Objection”) in accordance with Section 238(2) of the Cayman Companies Act:

(ii) unless the Parent and the Company elect by agreement in writing to waive this Section 2.10, no party shall be obligated to commence the Reincorporation Merger, and the CRPM shall not be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, until at least twenty (20) days shall have elapsed since the date on which the RC Authorization Notice is given (being the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent under Section 238(5) of the Cayman Companies Act, as referred to in Section 239(1) of the Cayman Companies Act), but in any event subject to the satisfaction or waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Section 10.1, Section 10.2 and Section 10.3.

2.11 Redeeming Parent Shares. Each Redeeming Parent Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Reincorporation Merger Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist and shall thereafter represent only the right to be paid a pro rata share of the Parent Shareholder Redemption Amount in accordance with Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Parent.

Prior to the Closing, none of the funds held in the Trust Account are permitted to be released, except in the circumstances described in the Organizational Documents of Parent and the Trust Agreement. Parent has performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under, and is not in material default or delinquent in performance or any other respect (claimed or actual) in connection with the Trust Agreement, and, to the knowledge of the Parent Parties, no event has occurred which, with due notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material default thereunder. As of the date of this Agreement, there are no claims or Proceedings pending or, to the Parent Parties’ knowledge, threatened with respect to the Trust Account. Since November 17, 2021, Parent has not released any money from the Trust Account (other than interest income earned on the funds held in the Trust Account as permitted by the Trust Agreement).
