Forward Looking Statements

This Proxy Statement (this “Proxy Statement”) contain certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “target,” “believe,” “expect,” “will,” “shall,” “may,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “would,” “positioned,” “future,” “forecast,” “intend,” “plan,” “project” and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, statements made in this Proxy Statement regarding the proposed transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the benefits of the business combination, integration plans, expected synergies and revenue opportunities, anticipated future financial and operating performance and results, including estimates for growth, the expected management and governance of the combined company, and the expected timing of the business combination. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on Brilliant’s and Nukkleus’s managements’ current beliefs, expectations and assumptions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Actual results and outcomes may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following: (i) the risk that the proposed business combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Nukkleus and/or Brilliant securities; (ii) the risk that the proposed business combination may not be completed by Brilliant’s business combination deadline and the potential failure to obtain an extension of the business combination deadline if sought by Brilliant; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed business combination, including the approval of the proposed business combination by the shareholders of Nukkleus and/or Brilliant, the satisfaction of the minimum trust account amount following redemptions by Brilliant’s public shareholders and the receipt of certain governmental and regulatory approvals; (iv) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed business combination on Nukkleus’s business relationships, performance, and business generally; (v) risks that the proposed business combination disrupts current plans of Nukkleus and potential difficulties in Nukkleus employee retention as a result of the proposed business combination; (vi) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Nukkleus or Brilliant related to the agreement and plan of merger or the proposed business combination; (vii) the ability to maintain the listing of Brilliant’s securities on the Nasdaq Stock Market; (viii) the price of Nukkleus’s and/or Brilliant’s securities, including volatility resulting from

changes in the competitive and highly regulated industries in which Nukkleus and Brilliant plan to operate, variations in performance across competitors, changes in laws and regulations affecting Nukkleus’s business and changes in the combined capital structure; (ix) the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and

extends the Sponsor, or its affiliate or designee, would make aggregate Contributions of approximately $22,600$32,500 or an

•        each share of ordinary share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the surviving corporation of the Merger; and

•        each Dissenting Share of Brilliant will be entitled to rely on such rights as are granted by the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

The “Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration” will be calculated as follows:

Treatment of Units.    Immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, Units consisting of one Ordinary Share, one Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination, and one Warrant, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share, will automatically separate into one Ordinary Share, one Right and one Warrant.

Treatment of Ordinary Shares.    At the Effective Time and following the Company Reverse Stock Split, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will thereupon be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such Ordinary Share will be entitled to receive, a) with respect to each Ordinary Share held by any initial shareholder of Brilliant, 1.0 share of common stock of the post-Business Combination Company; and (b) with respect to each other Ordinary Share, the sum of (x) 1.0 share of common stock of the post-Business Combination Company, and (y) such number of shares equal to the Pro Rata Share represented by such Ordinary Share of the Backstop Pool (the “SPAC Public Share Exchange Ratio”), in each case, subject to rounding.

The “Backstop Pool” will equal a number of shares equal to the lower of (1) 1,012,000, and (2) 40% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The “Pro Rata Share,” with respect to any Ordinary Shares or Rights, shall equal such number of Ordinary Shares and/or Rights divided by the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Treatment of Rights.    At the Effective Time and following the Company Reverse Stock Split, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each Right, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will thereupon be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such Right shall be entitled to receive, (a) with respect to each Right held by any initial shareholder of Brilliant, 0.1 share; and (b) with respect to each other Right, the sum of (x) 0.1 share, and (y) such number of shares equal to the Pro Rata Share represented by such Right of the Backstop Pool, in each case, subject to rounding.

Treatment of Warrants.    At the Effective Time and following the Company Reverse Stock Split, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will convert into and become a) with respect to each Warrant held by any initial shareholder of Brilliant, 1.0 warrant exercisable to receive one PubCo Share; and (b) with respect to each other Warrant, a number of warrants equal to the SPAC Public Share Exchange Ratio, exercisable to receive one PubCo Share per warrant, subject to rounding, and PubCo will assume each Warrant in accordance with its terms. All other rights with respect to Ordinary Shares under Warrants assumed by PubCo will thereupon be converted into rights with respect to shares. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Warrant assumed by PubCo may be exercised solely for shares; (B) the number of shares subject to such number of Warrants set forth in the previous sentence assumed by PubCo is one PubCo Share; (C) the per share exercise price for shares issuable upon exercise of such number of Warrants set forth in the previous sentence assumed by PubCo will be an amount equal to the quotient of (i) $11.50, divided by (ii) the SPAC Public Share Exchange Ratio; and (D) any restriction on any Warrant assumed by PubCo will continue in full force and effect and the terms and other provisions of such Warrant will otherwise remain unchanged.

Brilliant and Nukkleus are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the business combination, including the necessary filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the transaction, but have determined that there will not be sufficient time before JanuaryApril 23, 2023 to hold a special meeting to obtain shareholder approval of, and to consummate, the business combination. Accordingly, Brilliant’s Board has determined that, given Brilliant’s expenditure of time, effort and money on identifying Nukkleus as a target

business and completing the Merger Agreement, it is in the best interests of its shareholders to approve the Extension Amendment in order to amend the Current Articles and, assuming that the Extension Amendment is so approved and the Current Articles are amended, Brilliant will have to consummate an initial business combination before the Extended Termination Date.

You are not being asked to vote on any business combination at this time. If the Extension Amendment is implemented and you do not elect to redeem your public shares now, you will retain the right to vote on the proposed business combination when it is submitted to shareholders and the right to redeem your public shares into a pro rata portion of the Trust Account in the event a business combination is approved and completed or the Company has not consummated the business combination by the Extended Termination Date.

If Brilliant’s board of directors determines that Brilliant will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Deadline, as the same may be extended until the Extended Termination Date, Brilliant would then look to wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares.

In connection with the Extension Amendment, public shareholders may elect (the “Election”) to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to Brilliant to pay franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment and the Adjournment, and an Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Special Meeting. Public shareholders may make an Election regardless of whether such public shareholders were holders as of the record date. If the Extension Amendment and the Adjournment are approved by the requisite vote of shareholders, the remaining holders of public shares will retain their right to redeem their public shares when the proposed business combination is submitted to the shareholders, subject to any limitations set forth in our Current Articles, as amended by the Extension Amendment. However, Brilliant will not proceed with the Extension Amendment if the redemption of public shares in connection therewith would cause Brilliant to have net tangible assets of less than $5,000,001. Each redemption of shares by our public shareholders will decrease the amount in our Trust Account, which held approximately $31.2$4.435 million of cash as of January 3,April 5, 2023. In addition, public shareholders who do not make the Election would be entitled to have their shares redeemed for cash if Brilliant has not completed a business combination by the Deadline, as the same may be extended until the Extended Termination Date. Our Sponsor, our officers and directors and our other initial shareholders, own an aggregate of 1,150,000 of our Ordinary Shares, which we refer to as the “Founder Shares”, that were issued prior to our initial public offering (“IPO”) and our Sponsor owns 261,000 units, which we refer to as the “Private Placement Units”, that were purchased by our Sponsor in a private placement which occurred simultaneously with the completion of the IPO.

To exercise your redemption rights, you must tender your shares to the Company’s transfer agent at least two business days prior to the Special Meeting (or January17,April 13, 2023). You may tender your shares by either delivering your share certificate to the transfer agent or by delivering your shares electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) system. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee to withdraw the shares from your account in order to exercise your redemption rights.

As of January 3,April 5, 2023, there was approximately $31.2$4.435 million in the Trust Account. If the Extension Amendment is approved and only one Extension is completed, the redemption price per share at the meeting for the Company’s initial business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.76$11.01 per share. If the Extension Amendment is approved and two Extensions are completed, the redemption price per share at the meeting for the Company’s initial business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.80$11.09 per share. If the Extension Amendment is approved and each of the three Extensions are completed, the redemption price per share at the meeting for the proposed business combination or the Company’s subsequent liquidation will be approximately $10.84$11.17 per share, in comparison to the current redemption price of approximately $10.72$10.93 per share. The closing price of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on December 30, 2022April 4, 2023 was $10.71.$10.96. The Company cannot assure shareholders that they will be able to sell their Ordinary Shares in the open market, even if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price stated above, as there may not be sufficient liquidity in its securities when such shareholders wish to sell their shares.

As of the date hereof, substantially all of the assets held in the Trust Account are held in cash.

If the Extension Amendment is not approved and we do not consummate a business combination by JanuaryApril 23, 2023, as contemplated by our IPO prospectus and in accordance with our Current Articles, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than five business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (net of taxes payable and less interest to pay dissolution expenses up to $50,000), divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and Brilliant’s board of directors, proceed to commence a voluntary liquidation and thereby a formal dissolution of Brilliant, subject in each case to its obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of the Company’s winding up. In the event of a liquidation, our Sponsor, our officers and directors and our other initial shareholders will not receive any monies held in the Trust Account as a result of their ownership of the Founder Shares or the Private Placement Units.

Subject to the foregoing, the affirmative vote of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the votes cast by shareholders present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy will be required to approve the Extension Amendment Proposal. The approval of the Extension Amendment is essential to the implementation of our board’s plan to extend the date by which we must consummate our initial business combination. Therefore, our board will abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment unless our shareholders approve the Extension Amendment. This means that if one proposal is approved by the shareholders and the other proposal is not, neither proposal will take effect. Notwithstanding shareholder approval of the Extension Amendment, our board will retain the right to abandon and not implement the Extension Amendment at any time without any further action by our shareholders. Further, the Chairman will adjourn indefinitely the Special Meeting and the Company will not implement the Extension Amendment, or exercise any Extension, if, on or before JanuaryApril 23, 2023, it is able to complete the Business Combination.

Our board has fixed the close of business on December 23, 2022March 20, 2023 as the date for determining the Company shareholders entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment thereof. Only holders of record of the Company’s Ordinary Shares on that date are entitled to have their votes counted at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, the board of directors has determined that each of the proposals are advisable and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” such proposals

Voting Rights and Revocation of Proxies

The record date with respect to this solicitation is the close of business on December 23, 2022March 20, 2023 (the “Record Date”) and only shareholders of record at that time will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and any adjournment or adjournments thereof.

The shares of the Company’s Ordinary Shares represented by all validly executed proxies received in time to be taken to the Special Meeting and not previously revoked will be voted at the meeting. This proxy may be revoked by the shareholder at any time prior to its being voted by filing with the Secretary of the Company either a notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. We intend to release this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card to our shareholders on or about January 5,April 7, 2023.

Dissenters’ Right of Appraisal

Holders of our Ordinary Shares do not have appraisal rights under BVI law and under the governing documents of the Company in connection with this solicitation.

Outstanding Shares and Quorum

The number of outstanding Ordinary Shares entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is 2,075,936.1,816,733. Each Ordinary Share is entitled to one vote. The presence in person or by proxy at the Special Meeting of the holders of 622,781 shares, or not less than 30% of the votes of the Ordinary Shares entitled to vote on the resolutions to be considered at the

Special Meeting, will constitute a quorum. There is no cumulative voting under BVI law and under the governing documents of the Company. Abstentions by virtual attendance and by proxy will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but broker non-votes will not.

Broker Non-Votes

Holders of our Ordinary Shares that are held in street name must instruct their bank or brokerage firm that holds their shares how to vote their shares. If a shareholder does not give instructions to his or her bank or brokerage firm, the bank or brokerage firm will nevertheless be entitled to vote the shares with respect to “routine” items, but it will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” items. In the case of a non-routine item, such shares will be considered “broker non-votes” on that proposal.

Banks or brokerages cannot use discretionary authority to vote shares on Proposals 1 or 2 if they have not received instructions from their clients. Please submit your vote instruction form so your vote is counted.

Required Votes for Each Proposal to Pass

Assuming the presence of a quorum at the Special Meeting:

Abstentions will have no effect on the vote for each of the proposals.

We may not be able to complete an initial business combination with a U.S. target company since such initial business combination may be subject to U.S. foreign investment regulations and review by a U.S. government entity such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), or ultimately prohibited.

Our sponsor, Nisun Investment Holding Limited, a BVI company with limited liability, as a wholly-owned subsidiary, is controlled by Shanghai Ningsheng Supply Chain Group Co., Ltd. (f/k/a Shanghai Ningsheng Enterprise Management Group Co., Ltd.) (“Ning Sheng Group Co.”), a company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). We are therefore likely considered a “foreign person” under the regulations administered by CFIUS and will continue to be considered as such in the future for so long as our sponsor has the ability to exercise control over us for purposes of CFIUS’s regulations. As such, an initial business combination with a U.S. business may be subject to CFIUS review, the scope of which was expanded by the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act of 2018 (“FIRRMA”), to include certain non-passive, non-controlling investments in sensitive U.S. businesses and certain acquisitions of real estate even with no underlying U.S. business. FIRRMA, and subsequent implementing regulations that are now in force, also subjects certain categories of investments to mandatory filings. If our potential initial business combination with a U.S. business falls within CFIUS’s jurisdiction, we may determine that we are required to make a mandatory filing or that we will submit a voluntary notice to CFIUS, or to proceed with the initial business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing the initial business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our initial business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such initial business combination or order us to divest all or a portion of a U.S. business of the combined company without first obtaining CFIUS clearance, which may limit the attractiveness of or prevent us from pursuing certain initial business combination opportunities that we believe would otherwise be beneficial to us and our shareholders. As a result, the pool of potential targets with which we could complete an initial business combination may be limited and we may be adversely affected in terms of competing with other special purpose acquisition companies which do not have similar foreign ownership issues.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our initial business combination. If we cannot complete our initial business combination by JanuaryApril 23, 2023 (or up to AprilJuly 23, 2023 if the Extension Proposal is approved by the shareholders and each of the

three Extensions are exercised) because the review process drags on beyond such timeframe or because our initial business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, our public shareholders may only receive approximately $10.72$10.93 per share, and our warrants and rights will expire worthless. This will also cause you to lose the investment opportunity in a target company and the chance of realizing future gains on your investment through any price appreciation in the combined company.

Interests of the Company’s Directors and Officers

When you consider the recommendation of our board, you should keep in mind that the Sponsor, officers and directors have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, your interests as a shareholder. These interests include, among other things:

•        If an initial business combination is not completed by JanuaryApril 23, 2023, Brilliant will be required to dissolve and liquidate. In such event, the 1,150,000 founder shares currently held by Brilliant’s Initial Shareholders, which were acquired prior to Brilliant’s IPO will be worthless because such holders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. This waiver was made at the time that the founder shares were purchased for no additional consideration. The founder shares were purchased for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000, or less than $0.01 per share. Accordingly, Brilliant’s Initial Shareholders will receive a positive rate of return so long as the market price of the Ordinary Shares is at least $0.01 per share, even if public shareholders experience a negative rate of return in the Combined Company. The founder shares had an aggregate market value of approximately $12,316,500$12,604,000 based on the closing price of Ordinary Shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of December 3, 2022;April 4, 2023;

•        Of the 1,150,000 founder shares, the Sponsor holds 986,001 founder shares and Brilliant’s directors hold an aggregate of 20,000 founder shares. Dr. Peng Jiang, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Brilliant, is also the Chief Executive Officer of the Sponsor. Based on the closing prices on Nasdaq as of December 30, 2022,April 4, 2023, the market value of the Sponsor’s Ordinary Shares was $10,560,071$10,806,571 and the market value of the directors’ Ordinary Shares was $214,200.$219,200. As noted above, the Sponsor and the directors, along with the other initial shareholders of Brilliant, have agreed to waive their rights to redeem their Ordinary Shares in connection with Brilliant’s initial business combination or to receive distributions with respect to any Ordinary Shares upon the liquidation of the Trust Account if Brilliant is unable to consummate a business combination. Accordingly, if Brilliant does not consummate an initial business combination, and is forced to liquidate, the Sponsor and the directors will lose their entire investment;

•        Unless the Extension Amendment Proposal is approved and the Extension is implemented, if an initial business combination is not completed by JanuaryApril 23, 2023, the 261,000 Private Units purchased by the Sponsor for a total purchase price of $2,610,000, will be worthless. The Private Units were purchased at a price of $10.00 per Unit, the same price paid by public shareholders in the IPO of $10.00 per Unit. The Brilliant Units had an aggregate market value of approximately $2,766,600$2,795,310 based on the closing price of Brilliant Units on the Nasdaq Stock Market as of December 30, 2022April 4, 2023 of $10.60$10.71 per Unit;

•        The Sponsor has loaned Brilliant an aggregate amount of $2,367,594 in connection with the five extensions of the time Brilliant has before it is required to liquidate. Pursuant to the related promissory notes, the Sponsor will only be repaid from the proceeds of Brilliant’s initial business combination, or if no business combination is consummated, from funds held outside the trust account. As a result, if Brilliant does not consummate an initial business combination, the Sponsor is at risk of losing the entire amount. None of the Sponsor or its affiliates, or the officers and directors of Brilliant are owed out-of-pocket expenses for which they are awaiting reimbursement;

•        If the Trust Account is liquidated, including in the event Brilliant is unable to consummate an initial business combination within the required time period, the Sponsor has agreed to indemnify Brilliant to ensure that the proceeds in the Trust Account are not reduced below $10.72$10.93 per public Ordinary Share, or such lesser amount per public Ordinary Share as is in the Trust Account on the liquidation date, by the claims of prospective target businesses with which we have entered into an acquisition agreement

or claims of any third-party vendors or service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, but only if such target business, vendor or service provider has not executed a waiver of any and all of its rights to seek access to the Trust Account; and

Some banks and brokers have customers who beneficially own Ordinary Shares listed of record in the names of nominees. We intend to request banks and brokers to solicit such customers and will reimburse them for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for such solicitations. If any additional solicitation of the holders of our outstanding Ordinary Shares is deemed necessary, we (through our directors and officers) anticipate making such solicitation directly.

Any demand for conversion, once made, may be withdrawn at any time until the deadline for exercising conversion requests (and submitting shares to the transfer agent) and thereafter, with our consent. If you delivered your shares for conversion to our transfer agent and decide within the required timeframe not to exercise your conversion rights, you may request that our transfer agent return the shares (physically or electronically). You may make such request by contacting our transfer agent at the phone number or address listed above.

PROPOSAL 1: THE EXTENSION AMENDMENT

This is a proposal to amend (the “Extension Amendment”) Brilliant’s currently adopted amended and restated articles of association (the “Current Articles”), to extend the date by which Brilliant has to consummate a business combination from JanuaryApril 23, 2023, up to three (3) separate instances (each, an “Extension”) by an additional one (1) month each, for a total of up to three (3) months (each period as extended an “Extension Period”) or up to not later than AprilJuly 23, 2023 (the “Extended Termination Date”), without another shareholder vote, upon five (5) days advance notice prior to each Extension. All shareholders are encouraged to read the proposed Extension Amendment in its entirety for a more complete description of its terms.

Reasons for the Proposed Extension Amendment

The purpose of the Extension Amendment is to allow Brilliant more time to complete its initial business combination. Brilliant’s Current Articles provides that Brilliant has only until JanuaryApril 23, 2023 to complete a business combination.

On February 22, 2022, Brilliant entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of September 21, 2022, and Amendment No. 2, dated as of September 28, 2022, and Amendment No. 3, dated as of January 20, 2023, and as it may be further amended and/or restated from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Brilliant and Nukkleus, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nukkleus”), pursuant to which a merger sub and wholly-owned subsidiary of Nukkleus (“Merger Sub”), will merge with and into Brilliant with Brilliant surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nukkleus. Following the Business Combination, Brilliant’s Units, Ordinary Shares, Rights, and Warrants will be delisted from Nasdaq, deregistered under the Exchange Act and will cease to be publicly traded.

The Merger Agreement contemplates that, prior to the effective time of the Merger, the Nukkleus board of directors will submit for approval by the Nukkleus shareholders an amendment to Nukkleus’s certificate of incorporation to authorize the board of directors to effect a reverse stock split of all outstanding shares of Nukkleus at a reverse stock split ratio such that 14.0 million shares of Nukkleus common stock will be outstanding immediately prior to the effective time (currently anticipated to be 1:26.227) or such other ratio as may be agreed between Nukkleus and Brilliant (the “Company Reverse Stock Split”).

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Business Combination, the shares of Nukkleus issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination are being valued based on a pre-Merger consolidated equity value of the Nukkleus of $140,000,000.

In accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement,

•        each Ordinary Share of Brilliant issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time the Merger becomes effective (the “Effective Time”) (other than Dissenting Shares (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and shares owned by Brilliant or any of its controlled entities, which will be cancelled for no consideration) will be converted into the right to receive the Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration as further detailed below;

•        each share of ordinary share of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the surviving corporation of the Merger; and

•        each Dissenting Share of Brilliant will be entitled to rely on such rights as are granted by the British Virgin Islands Business Companies Act, subject to certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement and in accordance with applicable law.

The “Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration” will be calculated as follows:

Treatment of Units.    Immediately prior to the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, Units consisting of one Ordinary Share, one Right entitling the holder thereof to receive one-tenth (1/10) of one Ordinary Share upon the consummation of an initial business combination, and one Warrant, entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Ordinary Share at a price of $11.50 per Ordinary Share, will automatically separate into one Ordinary Share, one Right and one Warrant.

Treatment of Ordinary Shares.    At the Effective Time and following the Company Reverse Stock Split, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each Ordinary Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will thereupon be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such Ordinary Share will be entitled to receive, a) with respect to each Ordinary Share held by any initial shareholder of Brilliant, 1.0 share of common stock of the post-Business Combination Company; and (b) with respect to each other Ordinary Share, the sum of (x) 1.0 share of common stock of the post-Business Combination Company, and (y) such number of shares equal to the Pro Rata Share represented by such Ordinary Share of the Backstop Pool (the “SPAC Public Share Exchange Ratio”), in each case, subject to rounding.

The “Backstop Pool” will equal a number of shares equal to the lower of (1) 1,012,000, and (2) 40% of the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The “Pro Rata Share,” with respect to any Ordinary Shares or Rights, shall equal such number of Ordinary Shares and/or Rights divided by the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares and Rights issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Treatment of Rights.    At the Effective Time and following the Company Reverse Stock Split, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each Right, that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will thereupon be converted into the right to receive, and the holder of such Right shall be entitled to receive, (a) with respect to each Right held by any initial shareholder of Brilliant, 0.1 share; and (b) with respect to each other Right, the sum of (x) 0.1 share, and (y) such number of shares equal to the Pro Rata Share represented by such Right of the Backstop Pool, in each case, subject to rounding.

Treatment of Warrants.    At the Effective Time and following the Company Reverse Stock Split, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder thereof, each Warrant that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, will convert into and become (a) with respect to each Warrant held by any initial shareholder of Brilliant, 1.0 warrant exercisable to receive one PubCo Share; and (b) with respect to each other Warrant, a number of warrants equal to the SPAC Public Share Exchange Ratio, exercisable to receive one PubCo Share per warrant, subject to rounding, and PubCo will assume each Warrant in accordance with its terms. All other rights with respect to Ordinary Shares under Warrants assumed by PubCo will thereupon be converted into rights with respect to shares. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Warrant assumed by PubCo may be exercised solely for shares; (B) the number of shares subject to such number of Warrants set forth in the previous sentence assumed by PubCo is one PubCo Share; (C) the per share exercise price for shares issuable upon exercise of such number of Warrants set forth in the previous sentence assumed by PubCo will be an amount equal to the quotient of (i) $11.50, divided by (ii) the SPAC Public Share Exchange Ratio; and (D) any restriction on any Warrant assumed by PubCo will continue in full force and effect and the terms and other provisions of such Warrant will otherwise remain unchanged.

Brilliant and Nukkleus are working towards satisfaction of the conditions to completion of the business combination, including the necessary filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission related to the transaction, but have determined that there will not be sufficient time before JanuaryApril 23, 2023 to hold a special meeting to obtain shareholder approval of, and to consummate, the business combination. Accordingly, Brilliant’s Board has determined that, given Brilliant’s expenditure of time, effort and money on identifying Nukkleus as a target business and completing the Merger Agreement, it is in the best interests of its shareholders to approve the Extension Amendment in order to amend the Current Articles and, assuming that the Extension Amendment is so approved and the Current Articles are amended, Brilliant will have to consummate an initial business combination before the Extended Termination Date.

If Brilliant’s board of directors determines that Brilliant will not be able to consummate an initial business combination by the Deadline, as the same may be extended until the Extended Termination Date, Brilliant would then look to wind up the Company’s affairs and redeem 100% of the outstanding public shares.

In connection with the Extension Amendment, public shareholders may elect (the “Election”) to redeem their shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to Brilliant to pay franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding public shares, regardless of whether such public shareholders vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the Extension Amendment and the Adjournment, and an Election can also be made by public shareholders who do not vote, or

do not instruct their broker or bank how to vote, at the Special Meeting. Public shareholders may make an Election

obligations to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of applicable law. There will be no distribution from the Trust Account with respect to the Company’s warrants, which will expire worthless in the event of the Company’s

6.7.        Where Shares are held by another body corporate of which the Company holds, directly or indirectly, shares having more than 50 per cent of the votes in the election of directors of the other body corporate, all rights and obligations attaching to the Shares held by the other body corporate are suspended and shall not be exercised by the other body corporate.

7.           MEETINGS AND CONSENTS OF MEMBERS

7.1.        Any director of the Company may convene meetings of the Members at such times and in such manner and places within or outside the British Virgin Islands as the director considers necessary or desirable.

(a)        those Members whose names on the date the notice is given appear as Members in the Register of Members and are entitled to vote at the meeting; and

(b)        the other Directors.

7.4.        The director convening a meeting of Members may fix as the record date for determining those Members that are entitled to vote at the meeting the date notice is given of the meeting, or such other date as may be specified in the notice, being a date not earlier than the date of the notice.

7.5.        A meeting of Members held in contravention of the requirement to give notice is valid if Members holding at least 90 per cent of the total voting rights on all the matters to be considered at the meeting have waived notice of the meeting and, for this purpose, the presence of a Member at the meeting shall constitute waiver in relation to all the Shares which that Member holds.

7.6.        The inadvertent failure of a director who convenes a meeting to give notice of a meeting to a Member or another director, or the fact that a Member or another director has not received notice, does not invalidate the meeting.

7.7.        A Member may be represented at a meeting of Members by a proxy who may speak and vote on behalf of the Member.

7.8.        The instrument appointing a proxy shall be produced at the place designated for the meeting before the time for holding the meeting at which the person named in such instrument proposes to vote.

7.9.        The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in substantially the following form or such other form as the chairman of the meeting shall accept as properly evidencing the wishes of the Member appointing the proxy.

(b)        if only one of the joint owners is present in person or by proxy he may vote on behalf of all joint owners; and

(c)        if two or more of the joint owners are present in person or by proxy they must vote as one and in the event of disagreement between any of the joint owners of Shares then the vote of the joint owner whose name appears first (or earliest) in the Register of Members in respect of the relevant Shares shall be recorded as the vote attributable to the Shares.

7.11.      A Member shall be deemed to be present at a meeting of Members if he participates by telephone or other electronic means and all Members participating in the meeting are able to hear each other.

7.12.      A meeting of Members is duly constituted if, at the commencement of the meeting, there are present in person or by proxy Members representing not less than thirty per cent (30%) of the votes of the Shares entitled to vote on Resolutions of Members to be considered at the meeting. If the Company has two or more classes of shares, a meeting may be quorate for some purposes and not for others. A quorum may comprise a single Member or proxy and then such person may pass a Resolution of Members and a certificate signed by such person accompanied where such person holds a proxy by a copy of the proxy instrument shall constitute a valid Resolution of Members.

7.13.      If within two hours from the time appointed for the meeting a quorum is not present, the meeting, if convened upon the requisition of Members, shall be dissolved; in any other case it shall stand adjourned to the next business day in the jurisdiction in which the meeting was to have been held at the same time and place, and if at the adjourned meeting there are present within one hour from the time appointed for the meeting in person

7.14.      At every meeting of Members, the chairman of the Board shall preside as chairman of the meeting. If there is no chairman of the Board or if the chairman of the Board is not present at the meeting, the Members present shall choose one of their number to be the chairman.

7.15.      The chairman may, with the consent of the meeting, adjourn any meeting from time to time, and from place to place.

7.16.      At any meeting of the Members the chairman is responsible for deciding in such manner as he considers appropriate whether any resolution proposed has been carried or not and the result of his decision shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If the chairman has any doubt as to the outcome of the vote on a proposed resolution, he shall cause a poll to be taken of all votes cast upon such resolution. If the chairman fails to take a poll then any Member present in person or by proxy who disputes the announcement by the chairman of the result of any vote may immediately following such announcement demand that a poll be taken and the chairman shall cause a poll to be taken. If a poll is taken at any meeting, the result shall be announced to the meeting and recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

7.17.      Subject to the specific provisions contained in this Regulation for the appointment of representatives of Members other than individuals the right of any individual to speak for or represent a Member shall be determined by the law of the jurisdiction where, and by the documents by which, the Member is constituted or derives its existence. In case of doubt, the Directors may in good faith seek legal advice and unless and until a court of competent jurisdiction shall otherwise rule, the Directors may rely and act upon such advice without incurring any liability to any Member or the Company.

7.18.      Any Member, other than an individual, may by resolution of its directors or other governing body, authorize such individual as it thinks fit to act as its representative at any meeting of Members or of any class of Members, and the individual so authorized shall be entitled to exercise the same rights on behalf of the Member which he represents as that Member could exercise if it were an individual.

7.19.      The chairman of any meeting at which a vote is cast by proxy or on behalf of any Member other than an individual may at the meeting but not thereafter call for a notarially certified copy of such proxy or authority which shall be produced within 7 days of being so requested or the votes cast by such proxy or on behalf of such Member shall be disregarded.

7.20.      Directors of the Company may attend and speak at any meeting of Members and at any separate meeting of the holders of any class or series of Shares.

7.21.      An action that may be taken by the Members at a meeting may also be taken by a Resolution of Members consented to in writing, without the need for any prior notice. If any Resolution of Members is adopted otherwise than by the unanimous written consent of all Members, a copy of such resolution shall forthwith be sent to all Members not consenting to, or not having signed, such resolution. The consent may be in the form of counterparts, each counterpart being signed by one or more Members. If the consent is in one or more counterparts, and the counterparts bear different dates, then the resolution shall take effect on the earliest date upon which Eligible Persons holding a sufficient number of votes of Shares to constitute a Resolution of Members have consented to the resolution by signed counterparts.

8.           UNTRACEABLE MEMBERS

8.1.        Where any Member is untraceable, the Company may sell any of their Shares provided that:

(a)        no less than 3 checks for any sums payable in cash to such Member have remained uncashed for a period of 12 years from the date of issue of the check;

(c)        upon expiration of the 12-year12-year period, an advertisement has been published in newspapers, giving notice of the Company’s intention to sell those Shares, and a period of three months or such shorter period has elapsed since the date of such advertisement.

(a)        a Resolution of Members called for the purposes of removing the director or for purposes including the removal of the director or by a written resolution passed by a least seventy five per cent of the Members of the Company entitled to vote, provided that no director appointed from the closing of the IPO until consummation of the initial Business Combination may be removed by a Resolution of Members; or

(b)        a Resolution of Directors.

Where the Directors appoint a person as Director to fill a vacancy, the term shall not exceed the term that remained when the Director being replaced ceased to hold office.

9.8.        A vacancy in relation to Directors occurs if a Director dies or otherwise ceases to hold office prior to the expiration of his term of office.

9.9.        The Company shall keep a register of directors complying with the Act containing:
