Limited (the “Company”) ~~failed~~entered tointo ~~properly~~an ~~extend~~Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger (the ~~business~~“Merger ~~combination~~Agreement”), ~~period~~by toand ~~June~~between 16the Company, ~~2025~~KAC Merger Sub 1, a asCayman itIslands ~~did~~exempted ~~not~~company ~~deposit~~and ~~$50,000~~wholly ~~(as required~~owned bysubsidiary of the Company’s, ~~Fourth~~KAC ~~Amended~~Merger ~~and~~Sub ~~Restated~~2, ~~Memorandum~~a Cayman Islands exempted company and wholly ~~Articles~~owned subsidiary of ~~Association (~~the ~~“Charter”))~~Company, toNRF ~~the trust~~Consumer ~~account~~Limited, ina ~~order~~company toformed ~~extend~~under the ~~date~~laws byof ~~which~~Thailand, itNove ~~must~~Foods ~~consummate~~Limited, anas ~~initial~~company formed ~~business~~under ~~combination (~~the ~~“Termination~~laws ~~Date”) to~~of ~~beyond~~Thailand, ~~May~~and 16Bamboo Mart Limited, ~~2025~~a Cayman Islands exempted company.

~~Under~~On ~~the~~August ~~Charter~~18, ~~if the Company does not consummate an initial business combination by the Termination Date~~2025, the ~~Company~~boards isof ~~required~~directors ~~to (i) immediately commence a wind down~~ of ~~operations, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, liquidate~~ the ~~Trust~~Company ~~Account~~ and ~~redeem~~Bamboo ~~all~~Mart ofLimited ~~the~~mutually ~~outstanding~~agreed ~~public~~to ~~ordinary~~terminate ~~shares~~the ~~(“Public~~Merger ~~Shares”)~~Agreement ~~that were included~~pursuant into ~~the~~Section ~~units issued in its initial public offering, and~~ 12.1(~~iii~~a) ~~as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining members and the directors, liquidate and dissolve~~thereof.

The Company intends to liquidate the trust account and redeem the Public Shares. In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the trust account, the Company will instruct the trustee of the trust account to take all necessary actions to liquidate the securities held in the trust account. The proceeds of the trust account will be held in a trust operating account at Citibank, N.A, while awaiting disbursement to the holders of the Public Shares. Record holders will receive their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the trust account by delivering their Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company’s transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in ‘street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed within ten business days after June 30, 2025.

The Company’s sponsor, officers and directors have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their outstanding ordinary shares issued prior to the Company’s initial public offering and owned by the Company’s sponsor.

There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to the Company’s warrants or rights, which will expire worthless.

After the redemption of the Public Shares, the board of directors of the Company intends to seek to amend the Charter to remove the obligation to liquidate and dissolve the Company, such that the Company may remain listed on the OTC Markets and allow it to seek alternative opportunities, including potentially a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
