In connection with clauses (i) and (iii) of this paragraph, each issued and outstanding unit of L&F that has not been previously separated into the underlying Class A Ordinary Shares and the underlying L&F warrants will be cancelled and will entitle the holder thereof to one share of New ZeroFox Common Stock and one-half of one New ZeroFox warrant.

The Class A Ordinary Shares and the public warrants of L&F are currently listed on the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) under the symbols “LNFA” and “LNFA WS,” respectively. L&F will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination, of New ZeroFox Common Stock and the warrants of New ZeroFox on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) under the proposed symbols “ZFOX” and “ZFOXW,” respectively. It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that L&F receive confirmation from Nasdaq (or the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) if L&F's listing with Nasdaq is not effected) that the shares of New ZeroFox to be issued in connection with the Business Combination have been listed or approved for listing on Nasdaq (or the NYSE), subject only to official notice of issuance thereof, but there can be no assurance such listing condition will be met or that L&F will obtain such approval from Nasdaq or the NYSE. If such listing condition is not met or if such approval is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the stock exchange approval condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.
