PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

OF ARYA SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP IV

PROSPECTUS FOR 9,306,516 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF AJA HOLDCO, INC. (WHICH WILL BE ISSUED

UPON CONSUMMATION OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION AS DESCRIBED BELOW)

The board of directors of ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), has approved the transactions (collectively, the “Business Combination”) contemplated by that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated February 13, 2024 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Aja HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), ARYA, Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”), and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adagio”), a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A and pursuant to which, among other things, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA (the “ARYA Merger”) and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Adagio (the “Adagio Merger” and, together with the ARYA Merger, the “Mergers”), with ARYA and Adagio surviving the Mergers and, after giving effect to such Mergers, each of ARYA and Adagio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions in the Business Combination Agreement (the time that the ARYA Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “ARYA Merger Effective Time,” the time that the Adagio Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Adagio Merger Effective Time” and the time after which both Mergers become effective being referred to as the “Closing”). Following such Mergers, shareholders of ARYA will become stockholders of ListCo. As described in this proxy statement/prospectus, ARYA’s shareholders are being asked to consider a vote upon the Business Combination, among other items. As used in this proxy statement/prospectus, “New Adagio” refers to ListCo after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. At least two business days prior to the date on which Closing occurs (the “Closing Date”), Adagio shall cause its name to be changed to such other name mutually agreed to by ARYA and Adagio. The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement if the closing conditions are not met.

On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the applicable Bridge Financing Notes (as defined below) and the Subscription Agreement (as defined below) executed by Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Perceptive PIPE Investor”), the Perceptive PIPE Investor will contribute (i) the $15,000,000 convertible promissory notes of Adagio, which it purchased from Adagio pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2023 (the “April 2023 Notes”), (ii) the $8,000,000 convertible promissory notes of Adagio, which it purchased from Adagio pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 28, 2023 (the “November 2023 Notes” and, together with the April 2023 Notes, the “Bridge Financing Notes”), (iii) any interest that has been accruing and will remain unpaid through Closing on the Bridge Financing Notes, and (iv) an additional cash investment of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing (as defined below) being raised prior to Closing) to ListCo in exchange for (or to otherwise be converted into) shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Adagio (the “New Adagio Common Stock”) and/or warrants exercisable for shares of New Adagio Common Stock at $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Warrants”), based on the purchase price in the PIPE Financing (as defined below), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Bridge Financing Note and the applicable Subscription Agreement.

On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time, Adagio will also cause (A) each warrant of Adagio to be either (x) terminated, or (y) “net” exercised in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Adagio (“Adagio Common Stock”), determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement; (B) all issued and outstanding unsecured convertible promissory notes of Adagio (excluding the Bridge Financing Notes) (the “Adagio Convertible Notes”), including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be automatically and fully converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Adagio Convertible Notes (the “Adagio Convertible Note Conversion”), and such Adagio Convertible Notes shall be canceled, satisfied, extinguished, discharged and retired in connection with such conversion; and (C) each share of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Adagio (“Adagio Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock (the “Adagio Preferred Stock Conversion”). Following such conversions into Adagio Common Stock, at the Adagio Merger Effective Time and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (A) all issued and outstanding shares of Adagio Common Stock (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the Delaware General Corporation Law are properly exercised and not withdrawn) shall be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (B) each issued, outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Adagio Common Stock (“Adagio Option”) that is vested as of such time or will vest in connection with, or after taking into account the effect of, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (whether at the Adagio Merger Effective Time or otherwise) (the “Vested Adagio Options”) with an aggregate value that exceeds the aggregate exercise price of such Adagio Option (each an “In-the-Money Adagio Option”) shall be cancelled and extinguished in exchange for options to purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, and (C) each issued and outstanding Adagio equity award (other than the In-the-Money Adagio Options) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished for no consideration and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

At the ARYA Merger Effective Time: (A) the issuance of shares of New Adagio Common Stock, Base Warrants and/or pre-funded warrants, each exercisable for one share of New Adagio Common Stock at $0.01 per share (the “Pre-Funded Warrants,” and together with the Base Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”), pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Financing will occur; (B) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA (the “Class A ordinary shares”) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, 499,000 shares of which will be issued to ARYA Sciences Holdings IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Sponsor”) in exchange for the private placement Class A ordinary shares held by it; (C) shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued to the Sponsor in connection with the Sponsor’s option to contribute the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes (as defined below) to ARYA in exchange for Class A ordinary shares; (D) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA (the “Class B ordinary shares”) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, other than 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares that will be forfeited by the Sponsor and issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Sponsor will be subject to share trigger price vesting and will vest if, prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing, the post-Closing share price of New Adagio equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, as further described herein (the “Share Trigger Price Vesting”); (E) New Adagio will issue the New Adagio Convertible Notes (as defined below) and Convert Warrants (as defined below) pursuant to the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (as defined below) and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement (as defined below); and (F) ARYA’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Existing Governing Documents”) will be amended and restated in connection with ARYA becoming a subsidiary of ListCo, as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, ARYA and ListCo will cause (A) ListCo to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended and restated certificate of incorporation of ListCo, substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and (B) the board of directors of ListCo to approve and adopt amended and restated bylaws of ListCo, substantially in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. Following the Closing, ListCo’s name will be changed to “Adagio Medical, Inc.” (or such other name mutually agreed to by ARYA and Adagio).

On the Closing Date, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, ARYA will cause each holder of Class A ordinary shares that has timely and validly made a redemption election to be redeemed on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Existing Governing Documents and the other procedures described herein.

As described above, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo and ARYA entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain other investors (the “Other PIPE Investors,” and, together with the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, which includes (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors that are shareholders of ARYA, (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, (iv) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and (v) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing) (together, the “PIPE Financing”). In connection with the PIPE Financing, the PIPE Investors will also subscribe for (i) Base Warrants or (ii) a combination of Base Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. As provided for in the Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Base Warrants issuable to the PIPE Investors will depend on the redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares at Closing, the average per share price of the Class A ordinary shares purchased by certain PIPE Investors in the open market and the amount of interest on the Bridge Financing Notes that will have accrued and be unpaid at Closing and be contributed to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. For additional information on the calculation of the number of shares that will be issued pursuant to each Subscription Agreement, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing.”

Further, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors (“Convert Investors”) executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20,000,000 of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “New Adagio Convertible Notes”), which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and 1,500,000 warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Convert Financing”). Such $20,000,000 of financing in the form of New Adagio Convertible Notes includes the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment (as defined below) and includes the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes into New Adagio Convertible Notes at Closing, subject in each case to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing, as further described below. The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding. Concurrently with the execution of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased a $7,000,000 convertible promissory note of Adagio (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, by and among the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Adagio and ListCo (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into $7,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 525,000 Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for an additional $5,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 412,500 Convert Warrants, for a total of $12,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (such additional $5,500,000 commitment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor to purchase New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, the “Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment,” and the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment as part of the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date (any such financing, an “Additional Financing”), the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by a Convert Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date.

In connection with the Closing and immediately prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, the Sponsor may elect to contribute the unsecured convertible promissory note, dated as of November 7, 2022, by and between the Sponsor and ARYA (the “First Convertible Promissory Note”), the unsecured convertible promissory note, dated as of February 28, 2023, by and between the Sponsor and ARYA (as amended on February 13, 2024, the “Second Convertible Promissory Note”), the amended and restated unsecured convertible promissory note, dated as of February 13, 2024, by and between the Sponsor and ARYA (the “A&R Third Promissory Note”) and the unsecured convertible promissory note, dated as of February 8, 2024, by and between the Sponsor and ARYA (the “Fourth Convertible Promissory Note,” and, together with the First Convertible Promissory Note, the Second Convertible Promissory Note and the A&R Third Promissory Note, the “ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes”) to ARYA in exchange for Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA (the “Working Capital Shares”) at a conversion price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share.

This prospectus covers 9,306,516 shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock that this prospectus covers represents the maximum number of shares that may be issued to holders of shares of Adagio in connection with the Business Combination (as more fully described in this proxy statement/prospectus), together with the shares issued or issuable to the existing shareholders of ARYA in connection with the Business Combination, including the Share Trigger Price Vesting contemplated thereby.

ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares are currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ARYD.” ListCo will apply for listing, to be effective at the time of the Business Combination, of the New Adagio Common Stock on Nasdaq under the proposed symbol “ADGM.” It is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination that ARYA receive confirmation from Nasdaq that New Adagio has been conditionally approved for listing on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that such listing condition will be met or that ARYA will obtain such confirmation from Nasdaq. If such listing condition is not met or if such confirmation is not obtained, the Business Combination will not be consummated unless the Nasdaq condition set forth in the Business Combination Agreement is waived by the applicable parties.

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus provides shareholders of ARYA with detailed information about the Business Combination and other matters to be considered at the annual general meeting of ARYA. We encourage you to read the entire accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and other documents referred to therein, carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 35 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES REGULATORY AGENCY HAS APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED THE TRANSACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION OR RELATED TRANSACTIONS OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY CONSTITUTES A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is dated [•], 2024, and

is first being mailed to ARYA’s shareholders on or about [•], 2024.

ARYA SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP IV

51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor

The General Meeting will be conducted via live webcast, but the physical location of the General Meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of our amended and restated memorandum and articles of association, as amended (the “Existing Governing Documents”). If you wish to attend the General Meeting in person, you must reserve your attendance at least two business days in advance of the General Meeting by contacting ARYA’s Secretary at ARYA4@perceptivelife.com by 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024. You will be able to attend the General Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/[•].

At the General Meeting, ARYA shareholders will, among others, be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal, which is referred to herein as the “Business Combination Proposal” to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated February 13, 2024 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among Aja HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), ARYA, Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”) and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adagio”). The Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (the “Business Combination”) were approved by the boards of directors of ARYA (the “ARYA Board”) and Adagio. The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement if the closing conditions are not met.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA (the “ARYA Merger”) and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Adagio (the “Adagio Merger” and, together with the ARYA Merger, the “Mergers”), with ARYA and Adagio surviving the Mergers and, after giving effect to such Mergers, each of ARYA and Adagio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions in the Business Combination Agreement (the time that the ARYA Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “ARYA Merger Effective Time,” the time that the Adagio Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Adagio Merger Effective Time,” and the time after which both Mergers become effective being referred to as the “Closing”). As used herein or in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, “New Adagio” refers to ListCo after giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

As further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, at the ARYA Merger Effective Time, (A) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA (the “Class A ordinary shares”) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Adagio (the “New Adagio Common Stock”); and (B) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share, of ARYA (the “Class B ordinary shares”) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, other than 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares that will be forfeited by ARYA Sciences Holdings IV (the “Sponsor”) and issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), and 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that will be issuable to the Sponsor will be subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). In connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and as described in more details in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, at Closing, ListCo will, among others, change its name to “Adagio Medical, Inc.” (or such other name mutually agreed to by ARYA and Adagio) and will

be issuing (i) shares of New Adagio Common Stock to holders of Adagio Common Stock, Adagio Preferred Stock (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and Adagio Convertible Notes (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), (ii) options to purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock to holders of In-the-Money Adagio Options (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), (iii) shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) in the PIPE Financing (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), (iv) New Adagio Convertible Notes (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and Convert Warrants (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus), and (v) issue shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes.

Certain related agreements were entered into in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement or will be executed in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Subscription Agreements, the Base Warrant Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement, the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the Convert Warrant Agreement, the Convert Guaranty, the Convert Security Document, the Convert Registration Rights Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Adagio Stockholder Transaction Support Agreements (each as defined and further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus). See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information.

If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares (as defined below) that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the Closing Date, as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any holders of Public Shares or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by ARYA. Any outstanding Class B ordinary shares or private placement shares of ARYA will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per share redemption price applicable to Public Shares that are redeemed.

You will also be asked to consider and vote upon (A) a proposal to (i) authorize the ARYA Merger and approve the plan of merger in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E, subject to such amendments as may be approved by any director of ARYA (the “Plan of Merger”), and (ii) authorize the entry by ARYA into the Plan of Merger and approve the amendment and restatement of the Existing Governing Documents (the “ARYA Merger Proposal”), (B) a proposal to re-elect Leslie Trigg as a Class I director to serve for a term of three years or until her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified (the “Director Election Proposal”), and (C) a proposal to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates to the extent necessary (the “Adjournment Proposal”). The Adjournment Proposal provides for a vote to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for filing or mailing of any legally required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, or (iii) if the public holders of Class A ordinary shares, issued in ARYA’s initial public offering (the “Public Shares”), have elected to redeem such number of shares that New Adagio would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

The Business Combination will be consummated only if the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal (collectively, the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) are approved at the General Meeting. Neither the Director Election Proposal nor the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. Each of these proposals is more fully described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which each shareholder is encouraged to read carefully and in its entirety.

Only holders of record of the Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares (collectively, the “ARYA Shares”) at the close of business on [•], 2024 are entitled to notice of the General Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the General Meeting and any adjournments of the General Meeting. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors. The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card is being provided to ARYA’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the General Meeting and at any adjournment of the General Meeting. Information about the General Meeting, the Business Combination and other related business to be considered by ARYA’s shareholders at the General Meeting is included in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. Whether or not you plan to attend the General

Meeting, all of ARYA’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to therein carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 35 of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of ARYA (the “ARYA Board”) has approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and recommends that the ARYA shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal in each case, if presented to the ARYA shareholders at the General Meeting. When you consider the ARYA Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that directors and officers of ARYA have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares.

Please note that as further described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and the officers and directors of ARYA have agreed to (a) vote any of their ARYA Shares in favor of the Business Combination and (b) waive their redemption rights with respect to any ARYA Shares they own in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the Sponsor and directors and officers of ARYA own approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares in the aggregate. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal would not require the affirmative vote of any Public Shareholder in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the affirmative vote of 787,845 of the Public Shares, in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders, would be required to approve the ARYA Merger Proposal.

To ensure your representation at the General Meeting, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the General Meeting and vote electronically, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the General Meeting or not, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. Your proxy card must be received by ARYA not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

If you sign, date and return your proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your proxy will be voted FOR each of the proposals presented at the General Meeting. If you fail to return your proxy card or fail to instruct

your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote, and do not attend the General Meeting in person, the effect will be, among other things, that your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the General Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record and you attend the General Meeting and wish to vote in person, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person.

TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS, YOU MUST DEMAND IN WRITING THAT YOUR PUBLIC SHARES ARE REDEEMED FOR A PRO RATA PORTION OF THE FUNDS HELD IN THE TRUST ACCOUNT AND TENDER YOUR SHARES TO ARYA’S TRANSFER AGENT AT LEAST TWO BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO THE INITIALLY SCHEDULED VOTE AT THE GENERAL MEETING. IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHT, YOU NEED TO IDENTIFY YOURSELF AS A BENEFICIAL HOLDER AND PROVIDE YOUR LEGAL NAME, PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS IN YOUR WRITTEN DEMAND. YOU MAY TENDER YOUR SHARES BY EITHER TENDERING OR DELIVERING YOUR PUBLIC SHARES (AND CERTIFICATES, IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS TO THE TRANSFER AGENT OR BY TENDERING OR DELIVERING YOUR PUBLIC SHARES (AND CERTIFICATES, IF ANY) AND OTHER REDEMPTION FORMS ELECTRONICALLY USING THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY’S DWAC (DEPOSIT WITHDRAWAL AT CUSTODIAN) SYSTEM. IF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION IS NOT COMPLETED, THEN THESE SHARES WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU OR YOUR ACCOUNT. IF YOU HOLD THE SHARES IN STREET NAME, YOU WILL NEED TO INSTRUCT THE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE AT YOUR BANK OR BROKER TO WITHDRAW THE SHARES FROM YOUR ACCOUNT IN ORDER TO EXERCISE YOUR REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

On behalf of ARYA’s board of directors, I would like to thank you for your support and look forward to the successful completion of the Business Combination.

Sincerely,

Joseph Edelman

Chairman of the Board of Directors

• Proposal No. 3—Director Election Proposal: To re-elect Leslie Trigg as a Class I director to serve for a term of three years or until her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified.

• To transact such other business as may properly come before the General Meeting or any adjournments thereof including the presentation of the financial statements of ARYA for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal (the “Condition Precedent Proposals”) is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposal. Neither the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is conditioned on any other proposal.

These items of business are described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, which we encourage you to read carefully and in its entirety before voting.

Only holders of record of the ARYA Shares at the close of business on [•], 2024 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of the General Meeting and to vote and have their votes counted at the General Meeting and any adjournments of the General Meeting. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors. The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus and accompanying proxy card is being provided to ARYA’s shareholders in connection with the solicitation of proxies to be voted at the General Meeting and at any adjournment of the General Meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the General Meeting, all of ARYA’s shareholders are urged to read the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to therein carefully and in their entirety. You should also carefully consider the risk factors described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page [•] of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

After careful consideration, the board of directors of ARYA (the “ARYA Board”) has approved the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, and recommends that the ARYA shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the ARYA shareholders at the General Meeting. When you consider the ARYA Board’s recommendation of these proposals, you should keep in mind that directors and officers of ARYA have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus.

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a public holder of the Class A ordinary shares sold in ARYA’s initial public offering (whether they were purchased in ARYA’s initial public offering or thereafter in the open market) (a “Public Shareholder,” and, such shares, the “Public Shares”) may request that ARYA redeems all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the date for which the closing of the Business Combination occurs (the “Closing Date”), to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)
hold Public Shares; and

(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024(two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”), ARYA’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), in which you (i) request that ARYA redeems all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by ARYA, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held ARYA Shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds ARYA Shares on or before [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account established at the consummation of ARYA’s initial public offering (the “Trust Account”), calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds

held in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 on May 9, 2024, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $11.37. A Public Shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its Public Shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own any shares. See “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Redemption Rights” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Public Shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that ARYA redeem such holder’s Public Shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) with any other shareholder with respect to ARYA Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their ARYA Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s deposit/withdrawal at custodian system (“DWAC”), at the holder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the General Meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by ARYA.

Pursuant to that certain letter agreement, dated as of February 25, 2021 (the “SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement”), the Sponsor, officers and directors of ARYA have waived all of their redemption rights and will not have redemption rights with respect to any ARYA Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly. As of the date of the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders own approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ARYA, the Sponsor, each of Messrs. Wider and Henderson and Ms. Trigg (collectively, the “Other Class B Shareholders” and with the Sponsor, the “initial shareholders”), each of Joseph Edelman, Adam Stone, Michael Altman and Konstantin Poukalov (with the initial shareholders, the “Insiders”), ListCo and Adagio entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement (the “Sponsor Letter Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each initial shareholder agreed to vote in favor of each of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of ARYA shareholders, including approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) each initial shareholder agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of ARYA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) or otherwise), (iii) each of the Insiders and ARYA agreed to terminate the lock-up provisions contained in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement (as defined in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus) and to replace such lock-up provisions with the transfer restrictions included in the Investor Rights Agreement, (iv) each initial shareholder agreed to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in ARYA prior to the Closing, (v) the Sponsor agreed that 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the Sponsor will be subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, and (vi) the Sponsor has agreed to irrevocably forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, as Incentive Shares. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock

beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement” in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement.

The Business Combination Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus. There can be no assurance that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement would waive any such provision of the Business Combination Agreement.

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal would not require the affirmative vote of any Public Shareholder in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the affirmative vote of 787,845 of the Public Shares, in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders, would be required to approve the ARYA Merger Proposal. To ensure your representation at the General Meeting, you are urged to complete, sign, date and return the proxy card accompanying the proxy statement/prospectus as soon as possible. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you must instruct your broker or bank on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the General Meeting and vote electronically, obtain a proxy from your broker or bank.

Your vote is important regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether you plan to attend the General Meeting or not, please complete, sign, date and return the enclosed proxy card as soon as possible in the envelope provided. Your proxy card must be received by ARYA not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

An ARYA shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote instead of that shareholder. A proxyholder need not be an ARYA shareholder.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS FOR SHAREHOLDERS OF ARYA

The questions and answers below highlight only selected information from this document and only briefly address some commonly asked questions about the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting, including with respect to the proposed Business Combination. The following questions and answers do not include all the information that is important to ARYA’s shareholders. We urge shareholders to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the other documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety to fully understand the proposed Business Combination and the voting procedures for the General Meeting, which will be held at [•] [a.m./p.m.], Eastern Time, on [•], 2024, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022 and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

Q.
Why am I receiving this proxy statement/prospectus?

A.
ARYA shareholders are being asked to consider and vote upon, among other proposals, a proposal to approve and adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the following transactions will occur:

(a)
ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Adagio, with ARYA and Adagio surviving the Mergers and, after giving effect to such Mergers, each of ARYA and Adagio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions in the Business Combination Agreement;

(b)
On the date on which Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the applicable Bridge Financing Notes and the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor will contribute (i) the Bridge Financing Notes, (ii) any interest that has been accruing and will remain unpaid through Closing on the Bridge Financing Notes, and (iii) an additional cash investment of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing) to ListCo in exchange for (or to otherwise be converted into) shares of New Adagio Common Stock and/or PIPE Warrants, based on the purchase price in the PIPE Financing, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Bridge Financing Note and the applicable Subscription Agreement;

(c)
On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time, Adagio will also cause (A) each warrant of Adagio to be either (x) terminated, or (y) “net” exercised in exchange for shares of Adagio Common Stock determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement, (B) all issued and outstanding Adagio Convertible Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be automatically and fully converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Adagio Convertible Notes and such Adagio Convertible Notes shall be canceled, satisfied, extinguished, discharged and retired in connection with such conversion, and (C) each share of Adagio Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock. Following such conversions into Adagio Common Stock, at the Adagio Merger Effective Time and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (A) all issued and outstanding shares of Adagio Common Stock (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the DGCL are properly exercised and not withdrawn) shall be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (B) each In-the-Money Adagio Option shall be cancelled and extinguished in exchange for options to purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, and (C) each issued and outstanding Adagio equity award (other than the In-the-Money Adagio Options) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished for no consideration and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto;

(d)
At the ARYA Merger Effective Time: (A) the issuance of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and/or PIPE Warrants, pursuant to the terms of the PIPE Financing will occur; (B) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, 499,000 shares of which will be issued to the Sponsor in

xi

exchange for the private placement Class A ordinary shares held by it; (C) shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued to the Sponsor in connection with the Sponsor’s option to contribute the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes to ARYA in exchange for Class A ordinary shares; (D) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, other than 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares to be forfeited by the Sponsor and issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Sponsor will be subject the Share Trigger Price Vesting; (E) New Adagio will issue the New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement; and (F) ARYA’s Existing Governing Documents will be amended and restated in connection with ARYA becoming a subsidiary of ListCo, as described in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

(e)
Prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, ARYA and ListCo will cause (A) ListCo to file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware an amended and restated certificate of incorporation of ListCo, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and (B) the board of directors of ListCo (the “ListCo Board”) to approve and adopt amended and restated bylaws of ListCo, substantially in the form attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D. Following the Closing, ListCo’s name will be changed to “Adagio Medical, Inc.” (or such other name mutually agreed to by ARYA and Adagio).

If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the Closing Date, to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time.

As described above, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo and ARYA entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, which includes (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors that are shareholders of ARYA, (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, (iv) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and (v) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing). In connection with the PIPE Financing, the PIPE Investors will also subscribe for (i) Base Warrants or (ii) a combination of Base Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. As provided for in the Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Base Warrants issuable to the PIPE Investors will depend on the redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares at Closing, the average per share price of the Class A ordinary shares purchased by certain PIPE Investors in the open market and the amount of interest on the Bridge Financing Notes that will have accrued and be unpaid at Closing and be contributed to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. For additional information on the calculation of the number of shares that will be issued pursuant to each Subscription Agreement, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing.”

Further, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Convert Investors executed the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes, which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and 1,500,000 Convert Warrants, each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Such $20,000,000 of financing in the form of New Adagio Convertible Notes includes the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment and includes the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes into New Adagio Convertible Notes at Closing, subject in each case to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing, as further described below. The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound

xii

as additional principal outstanding. The Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased $7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Notes pursuant to the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into $7,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 525,000 Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for an additional $5,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 412,500 Convert Warrants, for a total of $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement. Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving Additional Financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced, or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

In connection with the Closing and immediately prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, the Sponsor may elect to contribute the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes to ARYA in exchange for Working Capital Shares at a conversion price of $10.00 per Class A ordinary share, which will convert into shares of New Adagio Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination.

A copy of the Business Combination Agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, and you are encouraged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety. For more information, also see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal.”

The approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors. The provisions of the Proposed Governing Documents will differ in certain material respects from the Existing Governing Documents. Please see “What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of ARYA?” below.

THE VOTE OF SHAREHOLDERS IS IMPORTANT. SHAREHOLDERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO VOTE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER CAREFULLY REVIEWING THIS PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS.

Q.
What proposals are shareholders of ARYA being asked to vote upon?

A.
At the annual general meeting, ARYA is asking holders of ARYA Shares to consider and vote upon four (4) separate proposals:

• The Business Combination Proposal: a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby;

• The ARYA Merger Proposal: a proposal to approve by special resolution the merger of ARYA with ARYA Merger Sub, so that ARYA is the surviving company of such merger and the Existing Organizational Documents be amended and restated with the form of memorandum and articles of association attached to the Plan of Merger, which simplifies ARYA’s organizational documents and removes provisions therefrom that are no longer relevant for an entity that becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of a listed company and ceases to be a blank check company with public reporting obligations;

• The Director Election Proposal: a proposal to re-elect Leslie Trigg as a Class I director to serve for a term of three years or until her successor is duly elected or appointed and qualified; and

• The Adjournment Proposal: a proposal to approve by ordinary resolution the adjournment of the General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for filing or mailing of any legally required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus or (iii) if the holders of the Public Shares have elected to redeem such number of shares such that the New Adagio Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange. For more information, please see “—Why is ARYA proposing the Adjournment Proposal.”

Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on any other proposal.

For more information, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal,” “Proposal 2: ARYA Merger Proposal,” “Proposal 3: The Director Election Proposal,” “Proposal 4: Adjournment Proposal,” and “—Why is ARYA proposing the Adjournment Proposal?”

ARYA will hold the General Meeting to consider and vote upon these proposals. This proxy statement/prospectus contains important information about the Business Combination and the other matters to be acted upon at the General Meeting. Shareholders of ARYA should read it carefully.

After careful consideration, the ARYA Board has determined that the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal, the Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q.
Why is ARYA proposing the Business Combination?

A.
ARYA is a blank check company incorporated on August 24, 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. ARYA has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on ARYA’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

xiv

ARYA has identified several criteria and guidelines it believes are important for evaluating acquisition opportunities. ARYA has sought to acquire companies that: have a scientific or other competitive advantage in the markets in which they operate and which can benefit from access to additional capital as well as ARYA’s industry relationships and expertise; are ready to be public, with strong management, corporate governance and reporting policies in place; will likely be well received by public investors and are expected to have good access to the public capital markets; have significant embedded and/or underexploited growth opportunities; exhibit unrecognized value or other characteristics that ARYA believes have been misevaluated by the market based on its rigorous analysis and scientific and business due diligence review; and will offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for ARYA shareholders. In addition, ARYA (a) must complete an initial business combination with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination and (b) is not permitted to effect an initial business combination with solely another blank check company or a similar company with nominal operations.

Based on its due diligence investigations of Adagio and the industry in which it operates, including the financial and other information provided by Adagio in the course of negotiations, the ARYA Board believes that Adagio meets the criteria and guidelines listed above. However, there is no assurance of this. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—The ARYA Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination.”

Although the ARYA Board believes that the Business Combination with Adagio presents a unique business combination opportunity and is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders, the board of directors did consider certain potentially material negative factors in arriving at that conclusion. These factors are discussed in greater detail in the sections entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—The ARYA Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA.”

Q:
Why is ARYA proposing the Adjournment Proposal?

A:
Holders of ARYA shares are being asked to consider and vote upon the Adjournment Proposal to approve the adjournment of the General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for filing or mailing of any legally required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus or (iii) if the holders of the Public Shares have elected to redeem such number of shares such that the New Adagio Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

Each U.S. stock exchange requires issuers applying for initial listing on such exchange to comply with certain initial listing criteria. New Adagio intends to apply for listing on Nasdaq. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5405 and depending on which listing standard with which New Adagio elects to comply, New Adagio expects to be required to have at least 1.1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $20 million and 400 unrestricted round lot stockholders. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5505 and depending on which listing standard with which New Adagio elects to comply, New Adagio expects to be required to have at least 1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $5 million and 300 unrestricted round lot stockholders. Irrespective of redemption levels in connection with the Business Combination, ARYA and Adagio expect that New Adagio will comply with applicable initial listing rules of Nasdaq by issuing at Closing a sufficient number of shares of unrestricted New Adagio Common Stock to (i) existing Adagio stockholders that will not be directors, officers and/or 10% or larger stockholders of New Adagio, and (ii) PIPE Investors that have agreed to purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and/or not redeem Class A ordinary shares they hold or purchased prior to Closing. See the sections entitled “Proposal 4: Adjournment Proposal” and “Risk Factors—Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA's Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions” for additional information.

xv

Q:
What other matters will be brought before the General Meeting?

A:
In addition to consideration of the proposals described above, ARYA shareholders will have the opportunity to consider the financial statements of ARYA for the year ended December 31, 2023 and ask questions of ARYA’s management. Holders of the Class B ordinary shares will also vote on the election of ARYA’s Class I director, Leslie Trigg.

Q:
Will I have the opportunity to vote in the election of ARYA’s directors if I only hold Class A ordinary shares?

A:
No. Pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents, prior to an initial business combination only holders of Class B ordinary shares are entitled to vote in the election of ARYA’s directors. Holders of only Class A ordinary shares are not entitled to vote on the election of ARYA’s directors.

Q:
What revenues and profits/losses has the Adagio generated in the last two years?

A:
For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, Adagio had total revenues of $0.3 million and $0.2 million and net losses of $38.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively. At the end of fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, Adagio’s total assets were $6.8 million and its total liabilities were $48.9 million. For additional information, please see the Adagio Financial Statements and section “Adagio’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Q:
What are the potential impacts on the Business Combination resulting from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC’s waiver of its deferred underwriting commission?

A:
In July 2022, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“GS”), one of the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering, reached out to ARYA’s management in order to notify ARYA that GS would be unable to serve as an advisor to ARYA in connection with an initial business combination. At that time, ARYA requested that GS, and GS agreed to, waive its entitlement to its respective portion of the deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement that ARYA, Jefferies and GS executed in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering. On August 8, 2022, ARYA executed a formal waiver with GS pursuant to which GS waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions (the “Deferred Fee Waiver”), which were payable upon completion of an initial business combination and deposited into the trust account established in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering. In connection with the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS also agreed that (i) the Deferred Fee Waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at the discretion of ARYA, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial business combination. As a result of the Deferred Fee Waiver, the deferred underwriting commissions payable by ARYA upon the consummation of an initial business combination, including the proposed Business Combination with Adagio, will be reduced to $2,616,250, which will be due only to Jefferies. This amount does not include other transaction fees payable by ARYA or Adagio to Jefferies in connection with the Business Combination, PIPE Financing and Convertible Security Financing. For more information, also see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions.”

Other than the notification in July 2022, according to which GS would be unable to continue to serve as an advisor to ARYA, and the subsequent execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver on August 8, 2022, GS and ARYA did not discuss the reasons for GS’s forfeiture of fees. GS did not communicate to ARYA, and ARYA does not otherwise believe, that the Deferred Fee Waiver was the result of any dispute or disagreement with ARYA, including any disagreement relating to the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus, the scope of its engagements under the Underwriting Agreement or its ability to complete such engagements or any matter relating to ARYA’s or Adagio’s operations, prospects, policies, procedures or practices. The services to be provided by GS pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement related to ARYA’s initial public offering were complete at the time of the Deferred Fee Waiver and GS is therefore gratuitously waiving its right to be compensated in connection with a business combination.

After the closing of ARYA's initial public offering and prior to the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS was involved in advising the ARYA Board in connection with the identification or evaluation of potential business

xvi

combination targets and in providing certain financial and merger-related advisory services to ARYA, including in connection with the proposed business combination with Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. that was terminated on February 23, 2022 (for more information see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Business Combination”). However, following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS ceased to provide any advisory services to ARYA and ceased to advise ARYA on the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets. GS did not advise ARYA in any capacity on the proposed Business Combination with Adagio. Further, ARYA did not rely on any work performed by GS to identify or evaluate potential business combination targets when ARYA resumed its search for potential business combinations after GS ceased to advise ARYA following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver. Neither Adagio nor the other potential business combination targets that ARYA considered following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver were among the potential business combination targets sourced, identified or recommended by GS while GS was advising ARYA. GS did not, and was not engaged to, perform any work for the boards of directors of ARYA or Adagio that is related to the Business Combination and GS was also not involved in the preparation of any disclosure, or analysis underlying disclosure, included in this proxy statement/prospectus. GS therefore claims no role in the Business Combination with Adagio and, by extension, has also not reached out to ARYA to affirmatively disclaim any responsibility for any of the disclosures in this prospectus.

Despite GS not providing any details as to the reasons for the Deferred Fee Waiver when it approached ARYA in 2022, shareholders should be aware that such Deferred Fee Waiver may indicate that GS does not want to be associated with the disclosures in this proxy statement/prospectus or any underlying business analysis related to the transactions described herein. The Deferred Fee Waiver, including the waivers of fees for services that had already been rendered, is unusual and some investors may find the proposed Business Combination with Adagio less attractive as a result of GS not having been involved in the preparation and review of this proxy statement/prospectus. ARYA’s investors will not have the benefit of GS’s independent review and investigation of the disclosures provided in this proxy statement/prospectus. We note that unaffiliated investors are subject to certain material risks as a result of Adagio going public through a merger rather than through an underwritten initial public offering. For more information also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.” Further, although GS waived its entitlement to any deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, certain provisions of the Underwriting Agreement were not waived by the GS. In particular, GS did not waive its rights to indemnification under the Underwriting Agreement for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the filings and communications related to ARYA’s initial public offering or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As a result, if any claims, litigation, disputes or other legal proceedings are brought by third parties against GS in relation to its services provided under the Underwriting Agreement, then ARYA (and New Adagio upon consummation of the Business Combination) may be liable to pay for or reimburse GS for such losses and costs it incurs, subject to the limitations set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement contains a contribution provision in the event that the indemnity obligations are unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party; however, GS shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the offered securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay. Therefore, there can be no assurance that ARYA (or New Adagio following the Business Combination) would have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnification claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARYA executed the Deferred Fee Waiver because it believes that such waiver will be beneficial for its shareholders as such waived fees would reduce the amount of transaction expenses payable in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination by $2,616,250. The ARYA Board did not consider the potential impact of the Deferred Fee Waiver in its assessment of the Business Combination with Adagio, given (a) the timing of the execution of Deferred Fee Waiver in relation to the timing of the negotiations of a business combination agreement with Adagio, (b) that no separate engagement letter was entered into with GS and GS’s obligations therefore being limited in scope solely to the services contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and its completed services in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering, and (c) that GS did not participate in or provide (and was not required to participate in or provide) advisory services in connection with the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets, an initial

xvii

business combination, or the proposed transaction with Adagio. ARYA does not expect that the Deferred Fee Waiver will have any significant impact on the proposed transaction with Adagio other than reducing the amount of expenses associated with the proposed Business Combination and potentially adversely affecting investors’ perception of the proposed Business Combination with Adagio.

Therefore, given GS’s lack of involvement in the Business Combination with Adagio and given the fact that ARYA has not provided a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus to GS for review and GS has not provided any response or feedback regarding the disclosure included herein, investors should not rely on the expertise of GS when making an investment decision in connection with the Business Combination and no inference should be drawn on whether GS agrees with the disclosures included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the disclosure regarding the Deferred Fee Waiver.

For more information regarding the Deferred Fee Waiver, see the section titled “Summary—Deferred Fee Waiver” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Business Combination”, and for more information related to the associated risks, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The waiver of deferred underwriting commission by GS despite performing all of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement may indicate that it may be unwilling to be associated with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus.”

Q:
Did the ARYA Board obtain a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in determining whether or not to proceed with the Business Combination?

A:
Yes. Although the Existing Governing Documents not require the ARYA Board to seek a third-party valuation or fairness opinion in connection with a business combination unless the target is affiliated with the Sponsor or ARYA’s directors or officers, on February 12, 2024, Scalar rendered an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, to the ARYA Board that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the qualifications, limitations and assumptions stated in such opinion, the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (other than (a) Adagio, (b) the Sponsor, (c) the Insiders, (d) the Other PIPE Investors, (e) the Convert Investors and (f) the Perceptive PIPE Investor (the “Excluded Parties)), without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular holder of Class A ordinary shares other than in its capacity as a holder of Class A ordinary shares. Please see the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor” and the opinion of Scalar attached hereto as Annex X for additional information.

Q.
What will Adagio’s equityholders receive in return for the Business Combination with ARYA?

A.
On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time, Adagio will also cause (A) each warrant of Adagio to be either (x) terminated, or (y) “net” exercised in exchange for shares of Adagio Common Stock determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement; (B) all issued and outstanding Adagio Convertible Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be automatically and fully converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Adagio Convertible Notes and such Adagio Convertible Notes shall be canceled, satisfied, extinguished, discharged and retired in connection with such conversion; and (C) each share of Adagio Preferred Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock. Following such conversions into Adagio Common Stock, at the Adagio Merger Effective Time and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement (A) all issued and outstanding shares of Adagio Common Stock (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the DGCL are properly exercised and not withdrawn) shall be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, (B) each Vested Adagio Option with an aggregate value that exceeds the aggregate exercise price of such Adagio Option shall be cancelled and extinguished in exchange for options to purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, and (C) each issued and outstanding Adagio equity award (other than the In-the-Money Adagio Options) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and extinguished for no consideration and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto.

Q.
How will the combined company be managed following the Business Combination?

A.
Following the Closing, it is expected that the current management of Adagio will become the management of New Adagio, and the New Adagio Board will initially consist of up to seven (7) directors, which will be divided into three classes (Class I, II and III), with directors serving staggered three-year terms and with Class I consisting of two (2) directors, Class II consisting of two (2) directors and Class III consisting of up to three (3) directors. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, the New Adagio Board will consist of three (3) individuals designated by Adagio, each of whom shall be reasonably acceptable to ARYA and the Sponsor, and four (4) individuals designated by the Sponsor, whom shall be reasonably acceptable to Adagio. Please see the section entitled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” for further information and biographies of the proposed management and directors of New Adagio.

Q.
What equity stake will current ARYA shareholders and current equityholders of Adagio hold in New Adagio immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?

A.
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 20.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 17.1% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 9.0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the PIPE Investors, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and including RA Capital, will own approximately 17.8% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; and (v) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 35.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock. Assuming 100% of the holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 21.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 11.3% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the PIPE Investors, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and including RA Capital, will own approximately 22.4% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; and (v) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 44.7% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock. These percentages are based on the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table below and a redemption value of the Public Shares on the Closing Date of approximately $11.37 per share (based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 as of May 9, 2024).

As discussed below under the heading “—How do the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders intend to vote their shares?,” our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, may purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination. If such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Public Shares (prior to the Closing) or the New Adagio Common Stock (following the Closing) and the number of beneficial holders of ARYA Shares (prior to the Closing) or the New Adagio Common Stock (following the Closing) may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of such securities on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for such securities.

The below sensitivity table shows the potential impact of redemptions on the share ownership by non-redeeming shareholders in a no redemption scenario, 25% redemption scenario, 75% redemption scenario, and maximum redemption scenario. The information in the below sensitivity table has been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column in the below sensitivity table. In addition, certain percentages presented in the below sensitivity table reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding and, accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant calculations were based upon the rounded numbers or may not sum due to rounding. As described in the footnotes to the below tables, the number of shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date as well as the number shares issuable following the Closing Date, creating additional dilution, are based on assumptions, including the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 and the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq as of May 9, 2024. Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

(10)
Assumes all PIPE Warrants are exercised for shares on a one for one basis and are not cashless exercised. 3,728,470 shares of New Adagio Common Stock would be issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 3,728,470 PIPE Warrants to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in the PIPE Financing. Such number of shares to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 3,728,470 PIPE Warrants it holds would represent 12.4%, 12.8%, 14.4% and 15.0% of the shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date pursuant to the table above in the no redemption, 25% redemption, 75% redemption and 100% redemption scenario, respectively.

(11)
Assumes the New Adagio Convertible Notes are converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. 1,250,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock would be issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the up to $12,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in the Convertible Security Financing, assuming no Additional Financing is raised prior to the Closing Date. Such number of shares to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the $12,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes it is expected to hold would represent 4.1%, 4.3%, 4.8% and 5.0% of the shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date pursuant to the table above in the no redemption, 25% redemption, 75% redemption and 100% redemption scenario, respectively. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

(12)
Assumes all Convert Warrants are exercised for shares on a one for one basis at $24.00 per share and are not cashless exercised. 937,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock would be issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 937,500 Convert Warrants to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in the Convertible Security Financing (assuming no Additional Financing is raised between signing of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and the Closing Date). Such number of shares to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 937,500 Convert Warrants it holds would represent 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.6% and 3.8% of the shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date pursuant to the table above in the no redemption, 25% redemption, 75% redemption and 100% redemption scenario, respectively. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and its affiliates, including the Sponsor, will beneficially own a significant equity interest in New Adagio and may take actions that conflict with the interests of the Public Shareholders or stockholders of New Adagio. The interests of the Sponsor may not align with the interests of the Public Shareholders or stockholders of New Adagio in the future (see “Questions and Answers for Shareholders of ARYA—What interests do the initial shareholders have in the Business Combination”). The Sponsor and its affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with New Adagio. The Sponsor and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to New Adagio’s business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to New Adagio. In addition, the Sponsor may have an interest in New Adagio pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to New Adagio and its stockholders.

Q:
How will my rights as a stockholder in New Adagio after the Closing differ from my current rights as an ARYA shareholder?

A:
New Adagio will be a Delaware corporation and, as a result, there will be differences between your rights as a stockholder of New Adagio under the Delaware corporate law and your current rights as a shareholder of ARYA under the laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act. In addition, upon the Closing, your rights as a stockholder of New Adagio will be governed by the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Adagio, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D. A comparison of your rights as a stockholder under the Proposed Governing Documents is discussed in the section titled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

Q:
How do the Base Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Convert Warrants differ from each other?

A:
Each Base Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. The Base Warrants, issued to certain PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the Base Warrant Agreement, will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at a price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. The Pre-Funded Warrants, issued to certain PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement, will not expire until such warrants are exercised in full.

Each Convert Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. The Convert Warrants, issued to certain Convert Investors pursuant to the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and the Convert Warrant Agreement, will expire on the seventh anniversary of the Closing.

Each of the Base Warrant Agreements, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreements and Convert Warrant Agreement will be entered into concurrently with the Closing, and each PIPE Warrant and Convert Warrant will bear a restrictive legend. No PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant may be exercised and New Adagio shall not be obligated to issue shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon exercise of a PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant unless the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable upon such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or are exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant, the registered holder of such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant may be entitled to exercise such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant by way of cashless exercise in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Otherwise, such holder may not be entitled to exercise its PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant and, in the case of the Base Warrants or Convert Warrants, such Base Warrant or Convert Warrant may expire worthless.

xxiii

If holders of Base Warrants elect to exercise on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock yielded by the following formula: [(A-B) (X)] / (A), where, as described in more details in the Base Warrant Agreement (A) is (i) the volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable warrant exercise notice if such notice is (1) both executed and delivered on a day that is not a trading day or (2) both executed and delivered on a trading day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such trading day, (ii) at the option of the holder, either (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice or (z) the did price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock on the applicable stock exchange as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the holder’s execution of the applicable exercise notice if such notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a trading day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a trading day), or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable exercise notice if the date of such notice is a trading day and such notice is both executed and delivered after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day; (B) is the exercise price of the Base Warrant, as adjusted pursuant to the Base Warrant Agreement; and (X) is the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the portion of the Base Warrant specified in the exercise notice in accordance with the terms of the Base Warrant Agreement if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

Similarly, if holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Convert Warrants elect to exercise on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock yielded by the following formula: (A x B) - (A x C)]/B. For purposes of the foregoing formula and as described in more details in the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement or the Convert Warrant Agreement, as applicable: A is the total number of shares with respect to which the Pre-Funded Warrants or Convert Warrants are then being exercised; B is as elected by the Holder: (i) the VWAP of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice if such notice is (1) both executed and delivered on a day that is not a trading day or (2) both executed and delivered on a trading day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such trading day, (ii) at the option of the applicable holder, either (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice or (z) the bid price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock as of the time of the holders’ execution of the applicable exercise notice if such notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a trading day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter, or (iii) the closing sale price of the New Adagio Common Stock on the date of the applicable exercise notice if the date of such notice is a trading day and such notice is both executed and delivered after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day; and C is the exercise price then in effect for the applicable shares of New Adagio Common Stock at the time of such exercise under the Pre-Funded Warrant or the Convert Warrant, as applicable.

For additional information and risks related to the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants, please see “Description of New Adagio Securities,” “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—New Adagio will not receive a significant amount of additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants; and any exercise of PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and may result in substantial dilution to New Adagio’s stockholders,” “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—There is no public market for the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants expected to be issued in connection with the PIPE Financing or the Convertible Security Financing,” “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—Holders of the PIPE Warrants purchased in the PIPE Financing or Convert Warrants purchased in the Convertible Security Financing will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders acquire shares of New Adagio Common Stock,” and “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—Significant holders or beneficial holders of New Adagio Common Stock may not be permitted to exercise certain Base Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants or Convert Warrants that they hold.”

Q:
Can I sell the New Adagio Common Stock that I may receive in the Business Combination?

A:
Yes, so long as there is sufficient market demand for the New Adagio Common Stock. The New Adagio Common Stock being issued in the Business Combination to former public shareholders of ARYA that do not redeem in connection with the Business Combination will be transferable (subject to applicable

xxiv

restrictions under the U.S. securities laws) and will be registered with the SEC. It is a condition to Closing that the New Adagio Common Stock being issued in the Business Combination, including the New Adagio Common Stock issued as part of the PIPE Financing, be approved for listing on Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance. However, following the Business Combination, there can be no assurance that the New Adagio Common Stock will continue to satisfy the listing requirements of Nasdaq or that a trading market in the New Adagio Common Stock will develop or exist at any time. further, no prediction can be made regarding the liquidity of any such market or the prices at which the New Adagio Common Stock may trade at any point in time. See “Risk Factors—Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA's Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions” for additional information.

Q:
What is the expected per share value of the cash consideration to be received by Adagio in the Business Combination?

A:
As described in “Summary—Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination,” and “—What happens if a substantial number of Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?” the net cash to the balance sheet of New Adagio and the total number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock will, among others, depend on the extent to which Public Shareholders exercise their redemption rights, the redemption price per share at Closing, the price at which the open market purchases in connection with the PIPE Financing occur and how much accrued and unpaid interest on the Bridge Financing Notes will be contributed in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock and how much accrued and unpaid interest on the Adagio Convertible Notes will be converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at Closing. Although the parties to the Business Combination have deemed the value of the New Adagio Common Stock to be equal to $10.00 per share for determining the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to holders of Adagio Common Stock, the cash value per share of New Adagio Common Stock and the trading price of New Adagio Common Stock following the Business Combination is expected to be substantially less than $10.00 per share.

As discussed below under the heading “—How do the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders intend to vote their shares?,” our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, may purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination. If such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Public Shares (prior to the Closing) or the New Adagio Common Stock (following the Closing) and the number of beneficial holders of ARYA Shares (prior to the Closing) or the New Adagio Common Stock (following the Closing) may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of such securities on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for such securities. For more information on the impact on post-Closing public float of redemptions in connection with the Business Combination, sources of dilution and other issuances of shares of New Adagio Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Also see “Shares Eligible For Future Sale And Securities Act Restrictions On Resale Of New Adagio Common Stock” for more information on impact on public float of contractual lock-ups and other restrictions on transfers and shares eligible for sale following the closing of the Business Combination.

Set forth below is a calculation of the net cash per share of New Adagio Common Stock resulting from the proceeds of the Trust Account in a no redemption scenario, 25% redemption scenario, 75% redemption scenario, and maximum redemption scenario. Such calculations are based upon (i) cash held in the Trust Account as of May 9, 2024 of approximately $11.37 per Public Share (rounded to the nearest cent) and (ii) transaction expenses estimated at approximately $18,918,101.

	Assuming No Redemption(1)	Assuming 25% Redemption(2)	Assuming 75% Redemption(3)	Assuming Maximum Redemption(4)

This scenario assumes that no Public Shares are redeemed by Public Shareholders, after taking into account Public Shares redeemed by Public Shareholders in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal. See “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal” for more information on the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

(2)
This scenario assumes that 737,610 Public Shares are redeemed by Public Shareholders, after taking into account Public Shares redeemed by Public Shareholders in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal. See “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal” for more information on the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

(3)
This scenario assumes that 2,212,830 Public Shares are redeemed by Public Shareholders, after taking into account Public Shares redeemed by Public Shareholders in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal. See “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal” for more information on the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

(4)
This scenario assumes that 2,950,440 Public Shares are redeemed by Public Shareholders, after taking into account Public Shares redeemed by Public Shareholders in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal. See “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal” for more information on the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal.

(5)
Total number of Public Shares subject to redemption is net of 349,576 Public Shares that are subject to non-redemption agreements by certain Other PIPE Investors. Such deduction of 349,576 Public Shares includes 133,500 Public Shares that were purchased in the open market at an average price of $11.23 per share and 88,106 Public Shares that are assumed to be purchased at $11.35 per share in the open market (such price reflects the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq on May 9, 2024) pursuant to open market purchase commitments made by certain Other PIPE Investors for a total of $2,500,000.

(6)
Includes the redemption value of 349,576 Public Shares resulting from the commitments from certain Other PIPE Investors to (i) purchase and not redeem Public Shares (subject to the assumptions discussed in footnote 5 above) and (ii) not redeem 127,970 Public Shares they currently hold prior to the Closing. Does not assume the exercise of any PIPE Warrants at $10.00 per share. Excludes $23,000,000 of Bridge Financing Notes that have been funded pre-Closing.

(7)
Excludes $7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Note that is funded pre-Closing. Does not assume the exercise of any Convert Warrants at $24.00 per share. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

(8)
Excludes the portion of the deferred underwriting commissions that has been waived by GS. Assumes ARYA does not elect to pay the Jefferies Fees in shares of New Adagio Common Stock. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The waiver of deferred underwriting commission by GS despite performing all of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement may indicate that it may be unwilling to be associated with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus.”

(9)
Deducts the portion of the deferred underwriting commissions that have not been waived, as described above.

Reflects the assumptions made further above in the sensitivity table under “—What equity stake will current ARYA shareholders and current equityholders of Adagio hold in New Adagio immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?” Does not adjust for sources of dilution following the Closing Date. For more information on potential sources of dilution also see, “—What equity stake will current ARYA shareholders and current equityholders of Adagio hold in New Adagio immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date

will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

Q.
What amendments will be made to the current constitutional documents of ARYA?

A.
The Existing Governing Documents set forth various provisions related to ARYA’s status as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination, including a provision that provides that, if ARYA does not consummate a business combination by the Termination Date, ARYA shall cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up and shall redeem the Public Shares and liquidate the Trust Account.

The amendment and restatement of the Existing Organizational Documents in connection with the ARYA Merger Proposal will make ARYA’s existence perpetual and will remove other provisions related to ARYA’s status as a blank check company, which will become irrelevant following the consummation of the Business Combination and due to the post-Business Combination status of ARYA as a subsidiary of New Adagio. See the discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus under the caption, “Proposal 2: ARYA Merger Proposal.”

Q.
Do I have redemption rights and is there a limit on the number of shares I may redeem?

A.
If you are a holder of Public Shares, you have the right to request that we redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash provided that you follow the procedures and deadlines described elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. Public shareholders may elect to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares held by them regardless of if or how they vote in respect of the Business Combination Proposal. If you wish to exercise your redemption rights, please see the answer to the next question: “How do I exercise my redemption rights?”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such public shareholder or any other person with whom such public shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming its Public Shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, if a Public Shareholder, alone or acting in concert or as a group, seeks to redeem more than 15% of the Public Shares, then any such shares in excess of that 15% limit would not be redeemed for cash.

The initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to all of their ARYA Shares in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

Q.
How do I exercise my redemption rights?

A.
Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that ARYA redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the Closing Date, to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)
hold Public Shares; and

(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent in which you (i) request that ARYA redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their public shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) (the “Redemption Deadline”) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

The address of Continental, the Transfer Agent, is listed under the question “Who can help answer my questions?” below.

xxvii

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by ARYA, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held ARYA Shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds ARYA Shares on or before [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 on May 9, 2024, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $11.37. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims, and we cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

A Public Shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its Public Shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own any shares. See “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Public Shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that ARYA redeem such holder’s Public Shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to ARYA Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their ARYA Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, at the holder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the General Meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by ARYA.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of Public Shares, may not be withdrawn following the Redemption Deadline unless the ARYA Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder demands redemption of such shares and subsequently decides prior to the Redemption Deadline not to elect to exercise such rights, he or she may simply request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically). Any corrected or changed written exercise of redemption rights must be received by the Transfer Agent prior

xxviii

to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the General Meeting. No request for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting.

If a Public Shareholder properly makes a request for redemption and the Public Shares are delivered as described above, then, if the Business Combination is consummated, we will redeem the Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds deposited in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the Closing Date, to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time.

Q:
What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences as a result of the ARYA Merger?

A:
Subject to the rules for “passive foreign investment companies,” referred to herein as “PFICs,” and the limitations and qualifications described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Adagio Common Stock pursuant to the ARYA Merger should (when taken together with the related transactions of the Business Combination) qualify as a tax-deferred exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 351 of the Code (a “Section 351 Exchange”).

In addition, the ARYA Merger might independently qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a tax-deferred reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization”) to the extent applicable requirements are satisfied. Under Section 368(a) of the Code, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements to qualify as a Reorganization, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation (or, in the case of certain reorganizations structured like the ARYA Merger, New Adagio) must continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business. Due to the absence of guidance as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with only investment-type assets, such as ARYA, there is no assurance that the ARYA Merger should qualify as a Reorganization. Moreover, the qualification of the ARYA Merger as a Reorganization is based on facts which will not be known until or after the Closing, including certain requirements that could depend on the amount of cash used to redeem Public Shares prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a result, no opinion is being provided as to whether the ARYA Merger constitutes a Reorganization.

The Closing is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization, and neither ARYA nor ListCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the ARYA Merger. The IRS may disagree with the descriptions of U.S. federal income tax consequences contained herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject Public Shareholders to U.S. federal income tax consequences that would be different than those described herein. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the ARYA Merger should qualify as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization.

Even if the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange or is a Reorganization, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code and certain other PFIC rules (which have retroactive effective dates) generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. ARYA believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. holder of Public Shares to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Adagio Common Stock pursuant to the ARYA Merger unless such U.S. holder has made certain tax elections with respect to its Public Shares. Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income, and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of ARYA. At this time, it is not possible to determine whether, in what form and with what effective date final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

xxix

For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders as a result of the ARYA Merger, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal IncomeTax Considerations—Tax Consequences of the ARYA Merger and Exercising Redemption Rights—Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders.” Public Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors for the tax consequences of the ARYA Merger to their particular situation. For a more detailed description of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the ARYA Merger, see “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Q:
What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of exercising my redemption rights?

A:
We expect that a U.S. holder of Public Shares that exercises its redemption rights to receive cash in exchange for its Public Shares will generally be treated as selling such shares in a taxable transaction resulting in the recognition of capital gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. There may be certain circumstances in which the redemption may be treated as a distribution taxable as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes depending on the number of Public Shares that such U.S. holder owns (or is deemed to own) prior to and following the redemption. For a more complete discussion of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of a U.S. holder’s exercise of redemption rights, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences of the ARYA Merger and Exercising Redemption Rights—Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.”

For a description of the tax consequences to Public Shareholders who are not U.S. persons that exercise redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences of the ARYA Merger and Exercising Redemption Rights—Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights.”

Additionally, the tax consequences of exercising redemption rights are subject to the PFIC rules discussed more fully in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences of the ARYA Merger and Exercising Redemption Rights—Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders.” All Public Shareholders considering exercising their redemption rights are urged to consult their tax advisors on the tax consequences to them of an exercise of redemption rights, including the applicability and effect of U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income and other tax laws.

Q.
What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account after consummation of the Business Combination?

A.
Following the closing of our initial public offering, an amount equal to $149,500,000 of the net proceeds from our initial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares was placed in the Trust Account. On February 27, 2023, ARYA delivered an instruction letter to Continental, acting as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or ARYA’s liquidation. As of May 9, 2024, funds in the Trust Account totaled approximately $37,543,644. These funds will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of ARYA’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing Governing Documents to modify the substance and timing of ARYA’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if ARYA does not complete a business combination within the time period required by the Existing Governing Documents, or (iii) the redemption of all of the Public Shares if ARYA is unable to complete a business combination within the time period required by the Existing Governing Documents, subject to applicable law.

If our initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) is paid for using equity or debt securities or not all of the funds released from the Trust Account are used for payment of the consideration in connection with our initial business combination (which will be the Business Combination should it occur) or used for redemptions or purchases of the Public Shares, New Adagio may apply the balance of the cash released to us from the Trust Account for general corporate purposes, including for maintenance or expansion of operations of New Adagio, the payment of principal or interest due on indebtedness incurred in completing our Business Combination, to fund the purchase of other companies or for working capital. See “Summary—Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination.”

xxx

Q.
What happens if a substantial number of Public Shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and exercise their redemption rights?

A.
Our Public Shareholders are not required to vote “FOR” the Business Combination in order to exercise their redemption rights. Accordingly, the Business Combination may be consummated even though the funds available from the Trust Account and the number of Public Shareholders is reduced as a result of redemptions by public shareholders.

Additionally, as a result of redemptions, the trading market for the New Adagio Common Stock may be less liquid than the market for the Public Shares was prior to consummation of the Business Combination and we may not be able to meet the listing standards for Nasdaq or another national securities exchange. See “Risk Factors—Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA's Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions” for additional information.

Q.
What conditions must be satisfied to complete the Business Combination?

A.
The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the approval by ARYA’s shareholders of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal being obtained; (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Adagio stockholders; (iii) the absence of any order, law or other legal restraint or prohibition issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) the approval by Nasdaq of ListCo’s initial listing application in connection with the Business Combination (also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA's Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions”); (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part; and (vi) the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds being greater than or equal to $50,000,000. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by both ARYA and Adagio, the Business Combination Agreement could terminate, and the Business Combination may not be consummated.

For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

Q.
When do you expect the Business Combination to be completed?

A.
It is currently expected that the Business Combination will be consummated in the second quarter of 2024. This date depends, among other things, on the approval of the proposals to be put to ARYA shareholders at the General Meeting. However, such General Meeting could be adjourned if the Adjournment Proposal is adopted by our shareholders at the General Meeting and we elect to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for filing or mailing of any legally required supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus or (iii) if the holders of the Public Shares have elected to redeem such number of shares such that the New Adagio Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

Q.
What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?

A.
If ARYA is not able to consummate the Business Combination with Adagio nor able to complete another business combination by the Termination Date, in each case, as such date may be extended pursuant to our Existing Governing Documents, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as

xxxi

shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the ARYA Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

On February 27, 2024, ARYA’s shareholders adopted the Articles Amendments to (i) extend the date by which ARYA has to complete a business combination up to March 2, 2025 (if all eleven additional monthly extensions are exercised by the Sponsor and subsequently approved by the ARYA Board as described in the Extension Proxy Statement), (ii) allow for the conversion of the Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the consummation of a business combination at the option of the holder of such Class B ordinary shares, and (iii) eliminate the Redemption Limitation.

Q.
Do I have appraisal rights in connection with the proposed Business Combination?

A.
Holders of record of ARYA Shares may have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Holders of record of ARYA Shares wishing to exercise such statutory dissenter rights and make a demand for payment of the fair value for his, her or its ARYA Shares must give written objection to the ARYA Merger to ARYA prior to the shareholder vote to approve the ARYA Merger and follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, noting that any such dissenter rights may subsequently be lost and extinguished pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act which states that no such dissenter rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. ARYA believes that such fair value would equal the amount that ARYA shareholders would obtain if they exercised their redemption rights as described herein. An ARYA shareholder which elects to exercise appraisal rights must do so in respect of all of the ARYA Shares that person holds and will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein. See the discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus under the caption, “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Appraisal Rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.”

ARYA shareholders are recommended to seek their own advice as soon as possible on the application and procedure to be followed in respect of the appraisal rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Q.
What else do I need to do now?

A.
We urge you to read this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes and the documents referred to herein, carefully and in their entirety and to consider how the Business Combination will affect you as a shareholder. Our shareholders should then vote as soon as possible in accordance with the instructions provided in this proxy statement/prospectus and on the enclosed proxy card.

Q.
How do I vote?

A.
If you are a holder of record of ARYA Shares on the Record Date, you may vote in person at the General Meeting by submitting a proxy for the General Meeting. You may submit your proxy by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the accompanying pre-addressed postage paid envelope. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or nominee, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the broker, bank or nominee with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the General Meeting and vote in person, obtain a proxy from your broker, bank or nominee.

Each ARYA Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote.

xxxii

There are three ways to vote your ARYA Shares at the General Meeting:

• You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return the proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted as recommended by the ARYA Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the General Meeting. Your proxy card must be received by ARYA not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted.

• You can attend the General Meeting and vote in person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your ARYA Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way ARYA can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your ARYA Shares.

• You can vote electronically. You may attend, vote and examine the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/[•] and entering the control number found on your proxy card.

Q.
If my shares are held in “street name,” will my broker, bank or nominee automatically vote my shares for me?

A.
No. If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial holder” of the shares held for you in what is known as “street name.” If this is the case, this proxy statement/prospectus may have been forwarded to you by your brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, or its agent. As the beneficial holder, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee as to how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker on a particular proposal on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, your shares will not be voted on that proposal. This is called a “broker non-vote.” Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If you decide to vote, you should provide instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote in accordance with the information and procedures provided to you by your broker, bank or other nominee.

Q:
How has the announcement of the Business Combination affected the trading price of the Public Shares?

A:
On February 13, 2024, the trading date before the public announcement of the Business Combination, Public Shares closed at $11.14. On May 9, 2024, the trading date immediately prior to the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, Public Shares closed at $11.35.

Q.

Q.
Who is entitled to vote at the General Meeting?

A.
ARYA has fixed [•], 2024 as the Record Date. If you were a shareholder of ARYA at the close of business on the Record Date, you are entitled to vote on matters that come before the General Meeting. However, a shareholder may only vote his or her shares if he or she is present in person or is represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

Q.
How many votes do I have?

A.
ARYA shareholders are entitled to one vote at the General Meeting for each ARYA Share held of record as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 7,536,516 ARYA Shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,300,016 were issued and outstanding Public Shares.

Q.
What constitutes a quorum?

A.
A quorum of ARYA shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the General Meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy (or if a corporation or other non-natural person by duly authorized representative or proxy) at the General Meeting. As of the Record Date, 3,768,259 ARYA Shares would be required to achieve a quorum. Our initial shareholders hold 4,146,500 ARYA Shares (or 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares) and consequently no additional Public Shares would be required to achieve a quorum at the General Meeting.

Q.
What vote is required to approve each proposal at the General Meeting?

A.
The following votes are required for each proposal at the General Meeting:

(i)
Business Combination Proposal: The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

(ii)
ARYA Merger Proposal: The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

(iii)
Director Election Proposal: The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution,

xxxiv

being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares.

(iv)
Adjournment Proposal: The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

As of the Record Date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 4,236,500 ARYA Shares, representing approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal would not require the affirmative vote of any Public Shareholder in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders.

Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the affirmative vote of 787,845 of the Public Shares, in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders, would be required to approve the ARYA Merger Proposal.

Q.
What are the recommendations of the ARYA Board?

A.
The ARYA Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the General Meeting are in the best interest of ARYA and its shareholders and recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented to the General Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Q.
How do the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders intend to vote their shares?

A.
As of the Record Date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 4,236,500 ARYA Shares, representing approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. The initial shareholders have agreed to vote the ARYA Shares owned by them in favor of the proposals being presented at the General Meeting. Any subsequent purchases of Public Shares prior to the Record Date by the initial shareholders will make it more likely that each of the proposals will be approved as such shares would be voted in favor of each of the proposals. As of the Record Date, there were 7,536,516 ARYA Shares outstanding.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to (i) increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities and (ii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem.

xxxv

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Q:
Who is the Sponsor?

A:
Our sponsor, ARYA Sciences Holdings IV, is a Cayman Islands exempted company. The Sponsor currently owns 3,647,500 Class B ordinary shares and 499,000 Private Placement Shares. The Sponsor is governed by a board of directors consisting of two directors, Adam Stone and Michael Altman, who are U.S. citizens. As such, Messrs. Stone and Altman have voting and investment discretion with respect to the securities held of record by the Sponsor and may be deemed to have shared beneficial ownership of the securities held directly by the Sponsor. The Sponsor is not “controlled” (as defined in 31 CFR 800.208) by a foreign person, such that the Sponsor’s involvement in any Business Combination would be a “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 CFR 800.213). However, it is possible that non-U.S. persons could be involved in our business combination, which may increase the risk that our Business Combination becomes subject to regulatory review, including review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”), and that restrictions, limitations or conditions will be imposed by CFIUS. The scope of CFIUS reviews 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 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 a business combination without notifying CFIUS and risk CFIUS intervention, before or after closing a business combination. CFIUS may decide to block or delay our business combination, impose conditions to mitigate national security concerns with respect to such 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 a 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. A failure to notify CFIUS of a transaction where such notification was required or otherwise warranted based on the national security considerations presented by an investment target may expose the Sponsor and/or the combined company to legal penalties, costs, and/or other adverse reputational and financial effects, thus potentially diminishing the value of the combined company. In addition, CFIUS is actively pursuing transactions that were not notified to it and may ask questions regarding, or impose restrictions or mitigation on, a business combination post-closing.

Moreover, the process of government review, whether by the CFIUS or otherwise, could be lengthy and we have limited time to complete our business combination. If we cannot complete a Business Combination by the Termination Date because the transaction is still under review or because our business combination is ultimately prohibited by CFIUS or another U.S. government entity, we may be required to liquidate. If we liquidate, shareholders of record may only receive their pro rata portion of funds available in the Trust Account. 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.

Q:
What interests do the initial shareholders have in the Business Combination?

A:
When you consider the recommendation of the ARYA Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the initial shareholders, including ARYA’s directors and our executive officers

xxxvi

have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests include that our initial shareholders will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to Public Shares they may have acquired or may acquire in the future), and that the initial shareholders will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms to shareholders, rather than liquidate ARYA. Further, the personal and financial interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an investor in Adagio prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, as well as ARYA’s executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Adagio as a business combination target, completing the Business Combination with Adagio and influencing the operation of the business following the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the ARYA Board to vote for the proposals, ARYA shareholders should consider these interests as well as, among other things, the interests described below:

• As summarized in the table below, the fact that the initial shareholders, including the Sponsor and certain of ARYA’s officers and directors (including those that are members of the Sponsor), have invested in ARYA an aggregate of $5,015,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares and the $4,990,000 purchase price for 499,000 Private Placement Shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the Class B ordinary shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred to each of the three independent directors 30,000 Class B ordinary shares for $0.007 per share. Such shares will have a significant higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and ARYA is liquidated. Further, in connection with the PIPE Financing, the Sponsor will forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and will subject 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Assuming a trading price of $11.35 per share of New Adagio Common Stock (based upon the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 9, 2024), such 2,089,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are expected to be issued to our initial shareholders at Closing (excluding the 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Trigger Price Vesting and subtracting the 1,000,000 Incentive Shares issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, by the Sponsor) would have an implied aggregate market value of $23,710,150. Even if the trading price of the New Adagio Common Stock were as low as approximately $2.40 per share, the aggregate market value of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by the initial shareholders would be approximately equal to the initial investment in ARYA by the initial shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates could earn a positive rate of return on their investments, even if other ARYA shareholders experience a negative rate of return in New Adagio and ARYA’s directors and officers and the Sponsor may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination;

Class B ordinary shares	3,737,500	$25,000

Does not include (i) up to 370,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Sponsor upon the contribution of the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes at Closing and (ii) 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, which will be issuable to the Sponsor subject to the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Assumes the Sponsor’s forfeiture to ARYA and ListCo’s issuance to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, of 1,000,000 Incentive Shares. Does not include shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to affiliates of the Sponsor, including: (i) approximately 5,024,151 shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in connection with the PIPE Financing, including the contribution of the Bridge Financing Notes, the conversion of the Adagio Convertible Notes held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the Closing Date (which is assumed to be 4 months after execution of the Business Combination Agreement) and approximately 3,728,470 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants at $10.00 per share, (ii) the issuance of 81,170 shares New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of shares in Adagio held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor prior to Closing, and (iii) 1,250,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s New Adagio Convertible Notes at $10.00 per share and 937,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the Convert Warrants at $24.00 per share (assuming no Additional Financing is raised between signing of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and Closing). For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

• the fact that, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any Additional Financing before the Closing Date, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced, or a combination of both;

• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an affiliate of the Sponsor and certain of ARYA’s directors and officers, has a fully diluted equity ownership stake in Adagio of 7.4% (representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock), which will convert into 81,170 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, or an approximately 0.6% equity stake in New Adagio in connection with the Business Combination.

If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or another nominee, you must contact your broker, bank or other nominee to change your vote.

Q.
What happens if I fail to take any action with respect to the General Meeting?

A.
If you fail to vote with respect to the General Meeting and the Business Combination Proposal is approved by shareholders and the Business Combination is consummated, you will become a stockholder of New Adagio. If you fail to vote with respect to the General Meeting and the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, you will remain a shareholder of ARYA. However, if you fail to vote with respect to the General Meeting, you will nonetheless be able to elect to redeem your Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

Q.
What should I do if I receive more than one set of voting materials?

A.
Shareholders may receive more than one set of voting materials, including multiple copies of this proxy statement/prospectus and multiple proxy cards or voting instruction cards. For example, if you hold your shares in more than one brokerage account, you will receive a separate voting instruction card for each brokerage account in which you hold shares. If you are a holder of record and your shares are registered in more than one name, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please complete, sign, date and return each proxy card and voting instruction card that you receive in order to cast a vote with respect to all of your ARYA Shares.

Q.
Who will solicit and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the General Meeting?

A.
ARYA will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the General Meeting. ARYA has engaged Morrow as proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the General Meeting. ARYA has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $15,000, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses. ARYA and its representatives will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. ARYA will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses. ARYA’s directors and officers may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.

Adagio Business Summary

Overview

Adagio is a medical device company developing and placing on the EU market innovative ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (“AF”), atrial flutter (“AFL”), and ventricular tachycardia (“VT”). Adagio’s unique technology portfolio consists of Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation (“ULTC”) by itself, and in combination with Pulsed Field Ablation (Pulsed Field Cryoablation or “PFCA”), both developed with the vision that ability to consistently create durable, contiguous, and transmural myocardial lesions is essential for improving the effectiveness and outcomes of cardiac ablations in both atria and ventricles, and a key to unlocking sizeable market opportunities within the fast-growing segment of advanced electrophysiology (“EP”) ablation catheters. In contrast to the common practice of reutilizing once-established catheter design and energy source for multiple anatomic and physiologic targets, Adagio purpose-build its product portfolio to maximize effectiveness, enabled by the strength and flexibility provided by the foundational physical principles of our technology. Adagio has established a robust cadence of the clinical trials designed to evaluate its technology and gain regulatory approvals across the entirety of the product portfolio, with the preliminary data suggestive of outcomes, such as the combination of safety, acute and chronic effectiveness, favorable to the current standard of care, i.e. ablations performed using radiofrequency (“RF”), cryoballoon (“CRYO”) and emerging pulsed field ablation (“PFA”) catheters and energy sources, as applicable based on the arrhythmia type. Although direct comparisons in head-to-head randomized trials have not been performed, such favorable outcomes in PsAF patients in the first-in-human CRYOSURE-2 trial include 85% freedom from AF in patients after a single ULTC procedure (versus 51%-65% reported for other catheter technologies) and 98.5% of subjects in the device cryomapping cohort did not experience device-related complications. In VT patients in the first-in-human CRYOCURE-VT trial, such favorable outcomes include a 0% rate of major adverse events (versus 11.5% significant complications, including deaths, reported for VT ablation procedures using other catheter technologies), 94% acute procedural success, 60% freedom from sustained VT and 81% freedom from implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock at six months. Adagio’s iCLAS™ ULTC System and VT ULTC System (inclusive of vCLAS™ catheter) have obtained regulatory approvals in the EU for commercialization, and the approval for the PFCA System (inclusive of Cryopulse™ catheter) will be sought after completion of the PARALELL trial. In the U.S., both iCLAS and VT ULTC systems remain subject to receipt of regulatory approvals upon completion of the ongoing or planned pivotal clinical trials, while the pathway to regulatory approval of PFCA system remains under consideration. For more detailed information, see “Business of Adagio and Certain Information About Adagio—Business Summary—Adagio Product Portfolio.”

Adagio has incurred net losses in each quarterly and annual period since inception and that has not yet generated any meaningful revenue. It expects to incur increasing costs as it continues to devote substantially all of its resources towards the development and anticipated further commercialization of its products, including iCLAS, vCLAS and Cyropulse. Adagio incurred net losses of $38.1 million and $23.7 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, it had an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million. Please see the section entitled “Risk Factors–Risks Related to Adagio’s Business” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a discussion of the risks and challenges that Adagio faces in operating its business and implementing its strategy.

As explained in the section titled “Adagio’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview” and “—Liquidity and Capital Resources,” Adagio’s management does not believe its current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements, which the management believes raises substantial doubt about Adagio’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The mailing address of Adagio’s principal executive office is 26051 Merit Cir #102, Laguna Hills, CA 92653.

Parties to the Business Combination

ARYA

ARYA is a blank check company incorporated on August 24, 2020, as a Cayman Islands exempted company and incorporated for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. ARYA has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenue to date. Based on ARYA’s business activities, it is a “shell company” as defined under the Exchange Act because it has no operations and nominal assets consisting almost entirely of cash.

On March 2, 2021, ARYA consummated an initial public offering of 14,950,000 Class A ordinary shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share, and a private placement with the Sponsor of 499,000 private placement shares at an offering price of $10.00 per share.

Following the closing of the initial public offering, an amount equal to $149,500,000 of the net proceeds from its initial public offering and the sale of the private placement shares was placed in the Trust Account.

On February 28, 2023, ARYA held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in view of approving an amendment to its Existing Governing Documents to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which ARYA has to consummate a Business Combination from March 2, 2023 (the “Original Termination Date”) to June 2, 2023 (the “Previous Articles Extension Date”) and to allow ARYA, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Previous Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the ARYA Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 2, 2024 or a total of up to thirty-six months after ARYA’s initial public offering, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the initial three-month extension from the Original Termination Date to the Previous Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor made an initial deposit into the Trust Account of $420,000, in exchange for the Second Convertible Promissory Note. In connection with the optional monthly extensions following the Previous Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor made deposits of $140,000 per month into the Trust Account, under promissory notes with ARYA, as provided for in the amendment to the Existing Governing Documents that was adopted by special resolution on February 28, 2023.

On February 27, 2023, ARYA delivered an instruction letter to Continental, acting as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or ARYA’s liquidation. ARYA is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that ARYA might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal on February 28, 2023. As of May 9, 2024, funds in the Trust Account totaled approximately $37,543,644. These funds will remain in the Trust Account, except for the withdrawal of interest to pay taxes, if any, until the earliest of (i) the completion of ARYA’s initial business combination, (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares properly tendered in connection with a shareholder vote to amend the Existing Governing Documents to modify the substance and timing of ARYA’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if ARYA does not complete a business combination within the time period required by the Existing Governing Documents, or (iii) the redemption of all of the Public Shares if ARYA is unable to complete a business combination within the time period required by the Existing Governing Documents, subject to applicable law.

On February 27, 2024, ARYA held a second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in view of approving the Articles Amendments, which included an amendment to extend the Termination Date by which ARYA has to consummate a Business Combination from March 2, 2024 (the “Previous Termination Date”) to April 2, 2024 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow ARYA, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to eleven times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the ARYA Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 2, 2025 or a total of up to forty-eight months from the closing of the initial public offering, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the initial one-month extension from the Previous Termination Date to the Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor made an initial

2

deposit into the Trust Account of $111,000, in exchange for the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note. In connection with any subsequent optional monthly extensions following the Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor is expected to make deposits of $111,000 per month into the Trust Account, under promissory notes to be entered into with ARYA, as provided for in the amendment to the Existing Governing Documents that was adopted by special resolution on February 27, 2024.

The ARYA Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination

The ARYA Board, in evaluating the transaction with Adagio, consulted with its legal counsel, financial and accounting advisors and other advisors. In reaching its resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable and in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and (ii) to recommend that the shareholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination, the ARYA Board (i) consulted with ARYA’s legal and financial advisors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, (ii) reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by ARYA’s management team, together with its legal and financial advisors and (iii) considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the ARYA Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The ARYA Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of ARYA’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

In approving the Business Combination, the ARYA Board determined to obtain a fairness opinion. In addition, the officers and directors of ARYA have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries, but particularly the healthcare and life sciences industries, and concluded that their experience and background, together with the experience and sector expertise of ARYA’s advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.

The ARYA Board considered a variety of factors, including the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance, in deciding to approve the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby:

• Innovative Technology for an Unmet Medical Need. The target clinical indications for Adagio’s innovative cardiac ablation technology are underpenetrated due to the limited long-term effectiveness of existing technologies. Adagio’s breakthrough technology has demonstrated improved outcomes in VT and persistent AF patients, indicating a significant combined growth potential.

• Commercialization Strategy. The ARYA Board believes that the components of Adagio’s technology will allow for the creation of efficient sourcing and manufacturing processes that ultimately will enable New Adagio to adequately increase manufacturing and production capabilities and meet its commercial plans.

• Experienced Leadership Team. The ARYA Board believes that Adagio has a proven and experienced team that is positioned to successfully lead New Adagio after the Business Combination and advance its AF and VT clinical programs worldwide.

• Transaction Proceeds. Depending on the extent of redemptions by the Public Shareholders and on the final amount of the expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, the Business Combination is expected to provide up to approximately $65 million of gross cash proceeds to New Adagio (assuming maximum redemptions by ARYA’s Public Shareholders). This additional cash injection is expected to, among other things, fund New Adagio’s business plan through 2025 based on the plans and estimates provided by Adagio.

• Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor. The oral opinion of Scalar, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, rendered to the ARYA Board on February 12, 2024, to the effect that, as of such date and based

5

upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion (attached as Annex X to this proxy statement/prospectus), the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Parties), as more fully described below under the caption “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor.”

• Other Alternatives. The ARYA Board believed, after a review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to ARYA, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for ARYA based on its evaluation of Adagio and other potential acquisition targets.

• Due Diligence. The ARYA Board reviewed and discussed in detail the results of the due diligence examination of Adagio conducted by ARYA’s management team and ARYA’s financial, legal and regulatory advisors, including extensive telephonic and in-person meetings with the management team and advisors of Adagio regarding Adagio and its business plan, operations, prospects and forecasts, evaluation analyses with respect to the Business Combination, review of material contracts, Adagio’s audited and unaudited financial statements and other material matters as well as general financial, technical, legal, intellectual property, regulatory, tax and accounting due diligence.

• Financial Condition. The ARYA Board reviewed factors such as Adagio’s historical financial results, and outlook and business and financial plans. In reviewing these factors, the ARYA Board believed that Adagio was well positioned in its industry for potential strong future growth and therefore was likely to be positively viewed by public investors.

• Reasonableness of Consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to ARYA, the due diligence of Adagio’s business conducted by ARYA’s management and ARYA’s advisors and the support for the pre-transaction equity value of Adagio of $24 million that was expressed by PIPE Investors that decided to participate in the PIPE Financing, the management of ARYA determined that the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was reasonable.

• Negotiated Transaction. The ARYA Board considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions, as well as the strong commitment by both ARYA and Adagio to complete the Business Combination. The ARYA Board also considered the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions were the product of arm’s length negotiations between ARYA and Adagio.

• Post-Closing Economic Interest in New Adagio. If the Business Combination is consummated, ARYA’s shareholders (other than the Public Shareholders that sought redemption of their Public Shares) would have a meaningful economic interest in New Adagio and, as a result, would have a continuing opportunity to benefit from the success of New Adagio following the consummation of the Business Combination.

• Lock-Up. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 tradingdays within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date.

• Post-Closing Governance. The fact that the Sponsor negotiated the right to designate (following consultation with Adagio) four members of the New Adagio Board following the Business Combination, which the ARYA Board believes will allow for the combined company to benefit from the Sponsor’s

6

professional relationships to identify potential board members that will have appropriate industry and/or financial knowledge and professional experience to oversee New Adagio and drive returns for shareholders. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Board of Directors” for more information.

• Industry and Trends. Adagio’s business is based in a proprietary technology and research and development manufacturing industry focused on supply chain integrity that the ARYA Board considers attractive, and which, following a review of industry trends and other industry factors (including, among other things, historic and projected market growth), the ARYA Board believes has continued growth potential in future periods.

• Advisor Special Purpose Acquisition Company Experience. The fact that ARYA received advice on financial and strategic matters in connection with the Business Combination from advisors that have expertise in a wide variety of special purpose acquisition company transactions. Certain directors and officers of ARYA have held director and officer positions at multiple special purpose acquisition companies that have successfully completed business combinations in the healthcare industry.

The ARYA Board also identified and considered a variety of factors and risks, potentially weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following which are not weighted or in any order of significance:

• Macroeconomic Risks. The risk that the future financial performance of Adagio may not meet the ARYA Board’s expectations due to factors in Adagio’s control or outside of its control.

• Regulation. The risk that changes in the regulatory and legislative landscape or new industry developments may adversely affect the projected financial results and the other business benefits anticipated to result from the Business Combination.

• Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents. However, even in the event that a significant number of Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares, this redemption would not prevent the consummation of the Business Combination.

• Benefits Not Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

• Exclusivity. The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits ARYA from soliciting or cooperating with other business combination proposals, which restricts ARYA’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations.

• Shareholder Vote. The risk that ARYA’s shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination.

• Market Volatility. The possibility that the market for Class A ordinary shares experiences volatility and disruptions, causing deal disruption.

• Liquidation of ARYA. The risks and costs to ARYA if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in ARYA being unable to effect a business combination by the Termination Date, as extended, and force ARYA to liquidate.

• Closing Conditions. The potential risks and costs associated with the Business Combination failing to be consummated in a timely manner or that Closing might not occur despite the reasonable best efforts of the parties. The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain Closing conditions that are not within ARYA’s control, including but not limited to approval by ARYA shareholders. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” for more information.

• Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Adagio, a privately held entity, for the applicable disclosure, controls and listing requirements to which New Adagio will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq or another stock exchange.

7

• Fees and Expenses. The expected fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination and related transactions, some of which would be payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is ultimately consummated and the substantial time and effort of management required to complete the Business Combination.

• Litigation Related to the Business Combination. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

• Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of ARYA and the business of Adagio described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition to considering the factors described above, the ARYA Board also considered that certain of the officers and directors of ARYA may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of ARYA’s shareholders. ARYA’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of the ARYA Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

The ARYA Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected ARYA and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the ARYA Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and consummated in connection with the Business Combination, were advisable and in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders.

For more information about the ARYA Board’s decision-making process concerning the Business Combination, please see the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal.”

Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo and ARYA entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, which includes (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors, (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, (iv) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and (v) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing). In connection with the PIPE Financing, the PIPE Investors will also subscribe for (i) Base Warrants or (ii) a combination of Base Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. As provided for in the Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Base Warrants issuable to the PIPE Investors will depend on the redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares at Closing, the average per share price of the Class A ordinary shares purchased by certain PIPE Investors in the open market and the amount of interest on the Bridge Financing Notes that will have accrued and be unpaid at Closing and be contributed to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. For additional information on the calculation of the number of shares that will be issued pursuant to each Subscription Agreement, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements.”

Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Convert Investors executed the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes, which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common

8

Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and 1,500,000 Convert Warrants, each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment. Such $20,000,000 of financing in the form of New Adagio Convertible Notes includes the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment and includes the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes into New Adagio Convertible Notes at Closing, subject in each case to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing, as further described below. The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding. The Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased $7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Notes pursuant to the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into $7,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 525,000 Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for an additional $5,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 412,500 Convert Warrants, for a total of $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement. Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving Additional Financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced, or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

Investor Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo, ARYA, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders, and certain Adagio Stockholders entered into the Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor, the Other Class B Shareholders, certain Adagio Stockholders and investors in the Convertible Security Financing will be granted certain customary registration rights. Further, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, ListCo will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain shares of New Adagio Common Stock within 45 days after the Closing, and ListCo is required at all times to maintain the effectiveness of such resale registration statement for the benefit of the holders party to the agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, the certain Adagio Stockholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Sponsor (including the Permitted Transferees (as defined therein) of the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Sponsor) may demand at any time or from time to time, that ListCo file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or on Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) to register the securities of ListCo held by such holders. The Investor Rights Agreement will also provide holders party thereto with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

9

The Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement executed in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Insiders, ListCo and Adagio entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each initial shareholder agreed to vote in favor of each of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of ARYA shareholders, including approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) each initial shareholder agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of ARYA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) or otherwise), (iii) each of the Insiders and ARYA agreed to terminate the lock-up provisions contained in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement and to replace such lock-up provisions with the transfer restrictions included in the Investor Rights Agreement, (iv) each initial shareholder agreed to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in ARYA prior to the Closing (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus), (v) the Sponsor agreed that 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the Sponsor will be subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, and (vi) the Sponsor has agreed to irrevocably forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, as Incentive Shares.

Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

Directors and Management of New Adagio

Following the Closing, it is expected that the current management of Adagio will become the management of New Adagio, and the New Adagio Board will consist of up to seven directors, which will be divided into three classes (Class I, II and III), with Class I consisting of two directors, Class II consisting of two directors and Class III consisting of up to three directors. Please see the section entitled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination” for further information and biographies of the proposed management and directors of New Adagio.

Ownership of New Adagio

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 20.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 17.1% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 9.0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the

The General Meeting

Date, Time and Place of the General Meeting

The General Meeting will be held at [•] [a.m./p.m.], Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, and via a virtual meeting, or at such other time, on such other date, and at such other place to which the meeting may be adjourned.

The General Meeting will be conducted via live webcast, but the physical location of the General Meeting will remain at the location specified above for the purposes of our Existing Governing Documents. If you wish to attend the General Meeting in person, you must reserve your attendance at least two business days in advance of the General Meeting by contacting ARYA’s Secretary at ARYA4@perceptivelife.com by 9:30 a.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024. You will be able to attend the General Meeting online, vote and submit your questions during the General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/[•].

Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shareholders Entitled to Vote

ARYA shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the General Meeting if they owned ARYA Shares at the close of business on [•], 2024, which is the Record Date for the General Meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ARYA Share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 7,536,516 ARYA Shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,300,016 were issued and outstanding Public Shares.

13

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, the members of the ARYA Board and the executive officers of ARYA have agreed to, among other things, vote all of their ARYA Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the General Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders own approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement” in the this proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Quorum and Required Vote

A quorum of ARYA shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the General Meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy (or if a corporation or other non-natural person by duly authorized representative or proxy) at the General Meeting. As of the Record Date, 3,768,259 ARYA Shares would be required to achieve a quorum. As of the Record Date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 4,236,500 ARYA Shares, representing approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. Therefore, no additional Public Shares are required to establish a quorum.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors. The initial shareholders hold the outstanding Class B ordinary shares and accordingly will be able to approve the Director Election Proposal without the further vote of any other shareholder.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Director Election Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are not conditioned on any other proposal. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal would not require the affirmative vote of any Public Shareholder in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the affirmative vote of 787,845 of the Public Shares, in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders, would be required to approve the ARYA Merger Proposal.

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that ARYA redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the Closing Date, to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)
hold Public Shares; and

(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent, in which you (i) request that ARYA redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Public

14

Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by ARYA, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held ARYA Shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds ARYA Shares on or before [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 on May 9, 2024, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $11.37. A Public Shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its Public Shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own any shares. See “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Redemption Rights” in this proxy statement/prospectus for a detailed description of the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.

Public Shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that ARYA redeem such holder’s Public Shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to ARYA Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their ARYA Shares, either physically or electronically using DTC’s DWAC system, at the holder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the General Meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by ARYA.

Pursuant to the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, officers and directors of ARYA have waived all of their redemption rights and will not have redemption rights with respect to any ARYA Shares owned by them, directly or indirectly. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders own approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. Such shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price. Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Insiders, ListCo and Adagio entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each initial shareholder agreed to vote in favor of each of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of ARYA shareholders, including approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) each initial shareholder agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of ARYA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) or otherwise), (iii) each of the Insiders and ARYA agreed to terminate the lock-up provisions contained in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement and to replace such lock-up provisions with the transfer restrictions included in the Investor Rights Agreement, (iv) each initial shareholder agreed to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in ARYA prior to the Closing (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus), (v) the Sponsor agreed that 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the Sponsor will be subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, and (vi) the Sponsor has agreed to irrevocably forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, as Incentive Shares. Pursuant to the Investor Rights

Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement” in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement.

The closing price of the Public Shares on May 9, 2024 was $11.35. The cash held in the Trust Account as of May 9, 2024 was approximately $11.37 per Public Share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Public Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. ARYA cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public 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 its shareholders wish to sell their shares. A Public Shareholder who properly exercises its redemption rights pursuant to the procedures set forth herein will be entitled to receive a full pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any amounts necessary to pay ARYA’s taxes.

Appraisal Rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act

Holders of record of ARYA Shares may have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Holders of record of ARYA Shares wishing to exercise such statutory dissenter rights and make a demand for payment of the fair value for his, her or its ARYA Shares must give written objection to the ARYA Merger to ARYA prior to the shareholder vote to approve the ARYA Merger and follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, noting that any such dissenter rights may subsequently be lost and extinguished pursuant to Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act which states that no such dissenter rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration for the ARYA Shares constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. ARYA believes that such fair value would equal the amount that ARYA shareholders would obtain if they exercised their redemption rights as described herein. An ARYA shareholder which elects to exercise appraisal rights must do so in respect of all of the ARYA Shares that person holds and will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

See the discussion in this proxy statement/prospectus under the caption, “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Appraisal Rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.”

ARYA shareholders are recommended to seek their own advice as soon as possible on the application and procedure to be followed in respect of the appraisal rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Proxy Solicitation

Proxies may be solicited by mail, via telephone or via e-mail or other electronic correspondence. ARYA has engaged Morrow to assist in the solicitation of proxies.

If an ARYA shareholder grants a proxy, such shareholder may still vote its shares in person if it revokes its proxy before the General Meeting. An ARYA shareholder may also change its vote by submitting a later-dated proxy, as described in the section entitled “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote.”

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the ARYA Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the initial shareholders, including ARYA’s directors and our executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests include that our initial shareholders will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to Public Shares they may have acquired or may acquire in the future), and that the initial shareholders will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms to shareholders, rather than liquidate ARYA. Further, the personal and financial interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an investor in Adagio prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, as well as ARYA’s executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Adagio as a business combination target, completing the Business Combination with Adagio and influencing the operation of the business following the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the ARYA Board to vote for the proposals, ARYA shareholders should consider these interests as well as, among other things, the interests described below:

• As summarized in the table below, the fact that the initial shareholders, including the Sponsor and certain of ARYA’s officers and directors (including those that are members of the Sponsor), have invested in ARYA an aggregate of $5,015,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares and the $4,990,000 purchase price for 499,000 Private Placement Shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the Class B ordinary shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred to each of the three independent directors 30,000 Class B ordinary shares for $0.007 per share. Such shares will have a significant higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and ARYA is liquidated. Further, in connection with the PIPE Financing, the Sponsor will forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and will subject 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Assuming a trading price of $11.35 per share of New Adagio Common Stock (based upon the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 9, 2024), such 2,089,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are expected to be issued to our initial shareholders at Closing (excluding the 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Trigger Price Vesting and subtracting the 1,000,000 Incentive Shares issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, by the Sponsor) would have an implied aggregate market value of $23,710,150. Even if the trading price of the New Adagio Common Stock were as low as approximately $2.40 per share, the aggregate market value of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by the initial shareholders would be approximately equal to the initial investment in ARYA by the initial shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates could earn a positive rate of return on their investments, even if other ARYA shareholders experience a negative rate of return in New Adagio and ARYA’s directors and officers and the Sponsor may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination;

Class B ordinary shares	3,737,500	$25,000
Private Placement Shares	499,000	$4,990,000

Does not include (i) up to 370,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Sponsor upon the contribution of the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes at Closing and (ii) 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, which will be issuable to the Sponsor subject to the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Assumes the Sponsor’s forfeiture to ARYA and ListCo’s issuance to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, of 1,000,000 Incentive Shares. Does not include shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to affiliates of the Sponsor, including: (i) approximately 5,024,151 shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in connection with the PIPE Financing, including the contribution of the Bridge Financing Notes, the conversion of the Adagio Convertible Notes held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the Closing Date (which is assumed to be 4 months after execution of the Business Combination Agreement) and approximately 3,728,470 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants at $10.00 per share, (ii) the issuance of 81,170 shares New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of shares in Adagio held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor prior to Closing, and (iii) 1,250,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s New Adagio Convertible Notes at $10.00 per share and 937,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the Convert Warrants at $24.00 per share (assuming no Additional Financing is raised between signing of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and Closing). For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

• the fact that if the Business Combination or another business combination is not consummated by the Termination Date and if ARYA does not otherwise amend the Existing Organizational Documents in view of further extending the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination, ARYA will cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, redeeming 100% of the outstanding Class A ordinary shares for cash and, subject to the approval of its remaining shareholders and the ARYA Board, dissolving and liquidating;

• the fact that the Investor Rights Agreement was entered into with the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Adagio stockholders, which, among other things, (a) gives the initial shareholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain Adagio stockholders and investors in the Convertible Security Financing certain registration rights, including the right to have the offer and sale of their shares of New Adagio Common Stock registered on a resale registration statement to be filed by New Adagio shortly after the consummation of the Business Combination, and (b) subjects the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 tradingdays within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein;

• the fact that, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any Additional Financing before the Closing Date, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced, or a combination of both;

• the fact that the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an affiliate of the Sponsor and certain of ARYA’s directors and officers, has a fully diluted equity ownership stake in Adagio of 7.4% (representing shares of Series E Preferred Stock), which will convert into 81,170 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, or an approximately 0.6% equity stake in New Adagio in connection with the Business Combination. The Perceptive PIPE Investor is also an investor for $3,000,000 in the Adagio Convertible Notes, the sole investor under the Bridge Financing Notes and the sole investor under the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes (which will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes, as described in the preceding paragraph.

In addition, certain directors and executive officers of Adagio and persons who are expected to become New Adagio directors after the completion of the Business Combination may have interests in the Business Combination

20

that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the ARYA shareholders. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of New Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for more information.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Any purchases by the Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

• if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

21

• our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the General Meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

• the amount of the Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

• the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

• the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

• the number of our Public Shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

Recommendation to Shareholders of ARYA

The ARYA Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the General Meeting are in the best interest of ARYA and its shareholders and recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the General Meeting.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor

On February 12, 2024, at a meeting of the ARYA Board, Scalar, LLC (“Scalar”), rendered its oral opinion to the ARYA Board, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of such date, to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (for purposes of such opinion and this summary, other than (a) Adagio, (b) the Sponsor, (c) the Insiders, (d) the Other PIPE Investors, (e) the Convert Investors and (f) the Perceptive PIPE Investor (which we refer to collectively as, along with their respective affiliates, the “Excluded Parties”)), of the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion) to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular holder of Class A ordinary shares other than in its capacity as a holder of Class A ordinary shares), based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion.

The full text of Scalar’s written opinion, dated February 13, 2024, which sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in connection with the opinion, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex X. The summary of Scalar’s opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Scalar’s written opinion. Scalar’s advisory services and opinion were provided for the information and assistance of the ARYA Board and the opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any shareholder of ARYA should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter.

Sources and Uses of Funds for the Business Combination

The following tables summarize the sources and uses for funding the Business Combination (i) assuming that none of the Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination and (ii) assuming that 100% of Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. For an overview of the assumptions underlying the following table as well as an illustration of the number of shares and percentage interests outstanding under scenarios that assume redemptions of the Class A ordinary shares in an illustrative redemption scenarios, also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.”

Represents financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, including (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors that are shareholders of ARYA, (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, (iv) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo, and (v) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing).

(4)
Includes $7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Notes that will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes (subject to the Perceptive PIPE Investor's ability to request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both if Additional Financing is raised). As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the maximum redemption scenario. Depending on the timing of the Closing, New Adagio will need to receive between approximately $21 million (if the Closing Date is on May 31, 2024) and approximately $19 million (if Closing Date is on June 30, 2024) of financing prior to the Closing Date in addition to the financing arrangements that were committed in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement (by raising Additional Financing and/or through the receipt of unredeemed funds held in) for the minimum unrestricted cash condition to be met. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date and based upon the funds in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 on May 9, 2024, if redemption levels remain below approximately 37% (if the Closing Date is on May 31, 2024) or approximately 43% (if Closing Date is on June 30, 2024), the minimum unrestricted cash condition is expected to be satisfied (percentages are based on currently issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares that are not subject to non-redemption agreements pursuant to the Subscription Agreements). If the minimum unrestricted cash condition is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, such condition may be waived by the Contingent Investor. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination— Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

(5)
Represents proceeds from the 2023 Bridge Financing Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes that have been utilized as of the day hereof.

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

For a detailed discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Arya Merger to Public Shareholders and the exercise of redemption rights with respect to Public Shares, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a forward-merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ListCo will be treated as the “accounting acquirer” and Adagio as the “accounting acquiree” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting is based on Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations (“ASC 805”), and uses the fair value concepts defined in FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”). ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As such, under the acquisition method of accounting, ListCo’s assets and liabilities will retain their carrying amounts and the assets and liabilities of Adagio, including any intangible assets recognized in connection with the Business Combination, will be recorded at their fair values, which are measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill.

Regulatory Approvals Required

The Business Combination is not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the Business Combination, (ii) the filing of the Plan of Merger and such other documents as may be required in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Law, with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and (iii) filings of solicitation materials required pursuant to Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act.

Listing of New Adagio Common Stock

ListCo intends to apply to list the shares of New Adagio Common Stock under the symbol “ADGM” upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

24

In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Public Shares of ARYA will be delisted from Nasdaq and ARYA will deregister from the Exchange Act.

Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights

There are certain differences in the rights of ARYA shareholders and the holders of shares of New Adagio Common Stock after the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “Comparison of Corporate Governance and Shareholder Rights.”

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”). For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”).

We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we could lose that status sooner if our revenues exceed $1.235 billion, if we issue more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if we become a large accelerated filer, as defined under the Exchange Act.

Smaller Reporting Company

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (1) the market value of the ARYA Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (2) our annual revenues equaled or exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of the ARYA Shares held by non-affiliates equals or exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

Deferred Fee Waiver

In July 2022, GS, one of the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering, reached out to ARYA’s management in order to notify ARYA that GS would be unable to serve as an advisor to ARYA in connection with an initial business combination. At that time, ARYA requested that GS, and GS agreed to, waive its entitlement to its respective portion of the deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement that ARYA, Jefferies and GS executed in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering. On August 8, 2022, ARYA executed a formal waiver with GS pursuant to which GS waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions, which were payable upon completion of an initial business combination and deposited into the trust account established in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering. In connection with the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS also agreed that (i) the Deferred Fee Waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at the discretion of ARYA, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial business combination. As a result of the Deferred Fee Waiver, the deferred underwriting commissions payable by ARYA upon the consummation of an initial business combination, including the proposed Business Combination with Adagio, will be reduced to $2,616,250, which will be due only to Jefferies. This amount does not include other transaction fees payable by ARYA or Adagio to Jefferies in connection with the Business Combination, PIPE Financing and Convertible Security Financing. For more information, also see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions.”

Other than the notification in July 2022, according to which GS would be unable to continue to serve as an advisor to ARYA, and the subsequent execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver on August 8, 2022, GS and ARYA did not discuss the reasons for GS’s forfeiture of fees. GS did not communicate to ARYA, and ARYA does not otherwise believe, that the Deferred Fee Waiver was the result of any dispute or disagreement with ARYA, including any disagreement relating to the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus, the scope of its engagements under the Underwriting Agreement or its ability to complete such engagements or any matter relating to ARYA’s or Adagio’s operations, prospects, policies, procedures or practices. The services to be provided by GS pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement related to ARYA’s initial public offering were complete at the time of the Deferred Fee Waiver and GS is therefore gratuitously waiving its right to be compensated in connection with a business combination.

25

After the closing of ARYA's initial public offering and prior to the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS was involved in advising the ARYA Board in connection with the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets and in providing certain financial and merger-related advisory services to ARYA, including in connection with the proposed business combination with Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. that was terminated on February 23, 2022 (for more information see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Business Combination”). However, following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS ceased to provide any advisory services to ARYA and ceased to advise ARYA on the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets. GS did not advise ARYA in any capacity on the proposed Business Combination with Adagio. Further, ARYA did not rely on any work performed by GS to identify or evaluate potential business combination targets when ARYA resumed its search for potential business combinations after GS ceased to advise ARYA following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver. Neither Adagio nor the other potential business combination targets that ARYA considered following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver were among the potential business combination targets sourced, identified or recommended by GS while GS was advising ARYA. GS did not, and was not engaged to, perform any work for the boards of directors of ARYA or Adagio that is related to the Business Combination and GS was also not involved in the preparation of any disclosure, or analysis underlying disclosure, included in this proxy statement/prospectus. GS therefore claims no role in the Business Combination with Adagio and, by extension, has also not reached out to ARYA to affirmatively disclaim any responsibility for any of the disclosures in this prospectus.

Despite GS not providing any details as to the reasons for the Deferred Fee Waiver when it approached ARYA in 2022, shareholders should be aware that such Deferred Fee Waiver may indicate that GS does not want to be associated with the disclosures in this proxy statement/prospectus or any underlying business analysis related to the transactions described herein. The Deferred Fee Waiver, including the waivers of fees for services that had already been rendered, is unusual and some investors may find the proposed Business Combination with Adagio less attractive as a result of GS not having been involved in the preparation and review of this proxy statement/prospectus. ARYA’s investors will not have the benefit of GS’s independent review and investigation of the disclosures provided in this proxy statement/prospectus. We note that unaffiliated investors are subject to certain material risks as a result of Adagio going public through a merger rather than through an underwritten initial public offering. For more information also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.” Further, although GS waived its entitlement to any deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, certain provisions of the Underwriting Agreement were not waived by the GS. In particular, GS did not waive its rights to indemnification under the Underwriting Agreement for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the filings and communications related to ARYA’s initial public offering or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As a result, if any claims, litigation, disputes or other legal proceedings are brought by third parties against GS in relation to its services provided under the Underwriting Agreement, then ARYA (and New Adagio upon consummation of the Business Combination) may be liable to pay for or reimburse GS for such losses and costs it incurs, subject to the limitations set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement contains a contribution provision in the event that the indemnity obligations are unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party; however, GS shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the offered securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay. Therefore, there can be no assurance that ARYA (or New Adagio following the Business Combination) would have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnification claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARYA executed the Deferred Fee Waiver because it believes that such waiver will be beneficial for its shareholders as such waived fees would reduce the amount of transaction expenses payable in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination by $2,616,250. The ARYA Board did not consider the potential impact of the Deferred Fee Waiver in its assessment of the Business Combination with Adagio, given (a) the timing of the execution of Deferred Fee Waiver in relation to the timing of the negotiations of a business combination agreement with Adagio, (b) that no separate engagement letter was entered into with GS and GS’s obligations therefore being limited in scope solely to the services contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and its completed services in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering, and (c) that GS did not participate in or provide (and was not required to participate in or

26

provide) advisory services in connection with the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets, an initial business combination, or the proposed transaction with Adagio. ARYA does not expect that the Deferred Fee Waiver will have any significant impact on the proposed transaction with Adagio other than reducing the amount of expenses associated with the proposed Business Combination and potentially adversely affecting investors’ perception of the proposed Business Combination with Adagio.

Therefore, given GS’s lack of involvement in the Business Combination with Adagio and given the fact that ARYA has not provided a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus to GS for review and GS has not provided any response or feedback regarding the disclosure included herein, investors should not rely on the expertise of GS when making an investment decision in connection with the Business Combination and no inference should be drawn on whether GS agrees with the disclosures included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the disclosure regarding the Deferred Fee Waiver.

For more information regarding the Deferred Fee Waiver, see the section titled “Questions and Answers for Shareholders of ARYA—What are the potential impacts on the Business Combination resulting from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC’s waiver of its deferred underwriting commission?”, and for more information related to the associated risks, see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The waiver of deferred underwriting commission by GS despite performing all of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement may indicate that it may be unwilling to be associated with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus.”

Risk Factor Summary

In evaluating the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting, you should carefully read this proxy statement/prospectus and especially consider the factors discussed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.” These risks include, but are not limited to the following:

Risks Related to Adagio’s Business

• Adagio has incurred net losses in every period to date and expects to continue to incur losses as it develops its business.

• Adagio’s growth prospects partially depend on its ability to accelerate the commercialization of its products and to capitalize on market opportunities.

• Adagio is dependent on the success of its launched products in the EU and pipeline portfolio, which is presently in the development stage and subject to on-going scientific and technical validation.

• If Adagio is unable to establish an effective network for commercialization, including effective distribution channels and sales and marketing functions, it may adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

• The success of Adagio’s products depends upon appropriate physician training, practice and patient selection.

• Even if Adagio’s products are commercialized and achieve broad scientific and market acceptance, if Adagio fails to improve them or introduce compelling new products, its revenue and its prospects could be harmed.

• Adagio is dependent on limited third-party suppliers and manufacturers for some of the components and materials used in its products, and the loss of any of these suppliers and manufacturers could harm its business.

• Consolidation in the medical device industry could have an adverse effect on Adagio’s revenue and results of operations.

• Adagio has limited data and experience regarding the safety and efficacy of its products. Results of earlier trials may not be predictive of future results, and planned trials may not establish an adequate safety or efficacy profile for such products and future products, which would affect market acceptance.

• Since Adagio commercializes its products outside of the United States, its international business could expose it to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial, and economic risks associated with doing business outside of the United States.

27

Risks Related to New Adagio’s Intellectual Property

• Adagio may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.

• If Adagio is unable to protect the confidentiality of its trade secrets, the value of its technology could be materially adversely affected and its business could be harmed.

• Obtaining and maintaining Adagio’s patent protection depends on compliance with various requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and Adagio’s patent protection could be reduced for non-compliance with these requirements.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Compliance Matters

• Adagio expects to incur substantial expenses in its pursuit of regulatory clearances and approvals for its products in the United States and can provide no assurances that it will obtain the necessary approvals from the FDA to market its products in the United States.

• Adagio can provide no assurances that it will obtain the necessary clearances or approvals from the FDA to market its products in the United States.

• Adagio may be subject to enforcement action if Adagio engages in improper or off-label marketing or promotion of its products, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Related to Litigation and Regulation

• Adagio is subject to extensive laws and regulations of the United States and foreign regulatory agencies that could impose substantial costs and restrictions upon its operations, and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations, could delay the commercialization of its products or result in litigation and substantially harm Adagio’s business and operations.

• Adagio may become involved in lawsuits to defend against third-party claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property or to protect or enforce Adagio’s intellectual property, any of which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful, and may delay Adagio’s development and commercialization efforts.

• Adagio is subject to risks relating to disputes and other product liability lawsuits, that may be time consuming and costly.

Risks Related to Financing Transactions

• Adagio is subject to financing risks. There are no guarantees that Adagio can meet its financing needs for its operations and future investments at a reasonable cost or at all. New Adagio’s expectation to use the proceeds from the Business Combination and the related financing transactions to fund its business plan through 2025 may not prove accurate.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA

• New Adagio will be a holding company with no business operations of its own and will depend on cash flow from Adagio to meet its obligations.

• Since the initial shareholders, including ARYA’s directors and executive officers, have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Adagio is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor, as well as our executive officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

• The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.

• Past performance by our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, or their respective business combination targets, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in ARYA or New Adagio.

28

• ARYA and Adagio will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to New Adagio for other corporate purposes.

• Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of key personnel of New Adagio. The loss of key personnel or hiring of ineffective personnel after the Business Combination could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Adagio.

• If we have not consummated our initial business combination within the required time period, our Public Shareholders may receive only their pro rata portion of the funds in the Trust Account that are available for distribution to Public Shareholders.

• The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and the PIPE Financing, and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Convert Warrants, the New Adagio Convertible Securities, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Plan, the ESPP and shares issued upon Share Price Trigger Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.

• Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions.

• A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of New Adagio Common Stock to drop significantly, even if New Adagio’s business is doing well.

• If Adagio’s estimates or judgments relating to its critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, its results of operation could fall below its publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of New Adagio Common Stock.

• New Adagio does not have experience operating as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws and may not be able to adequately develop and implement the governance, compliance, risk management and control infrastructure and culture required for a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

• If Adagio fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, New Adagio may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner or prevent fraud, which could harm

its business.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This proxy statement/prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide the respective current expectations or forecasts of future events of ARYA and Adagio. Forward-looking statements include statements about ARYA’s and Adagio’s respective expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. For example, Adagio’s expected gross cash or pro forma cash, Adagio’s expected cash burn through closing, Adagio’s expected post transaction fully diluted equity value, Adagio’s fully diluted enterprise value, the Adagio’s or New Adagio’s expected cash runway through 2025 or statements related to the Adagio’s or New Adagio’s funding gap, funded business plan or use of proceeds, or other metrics or statements derived therefrom, are forward-looking statements. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “will” and “would,” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.

Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this proxy statement/prospectus including, without limitation, in the sections titled “Adagio’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “ARYA’S Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business of ARYA and Certain Information About ARYA” and “Business of Adagio and Certain Information About Adagio.” The forward-looking statements contained in this proxy statement/prospectus are based on the respective current expectations and beliefs of ARYA and Adagio concerning future developments and their potential effects on us. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting us will be those that we have anticipated. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

• ARYA’s ability to complete the Business Combination with Adagio and ListCo or, if the Business Combination is not consummated, any other initial business combination prior to the Termination Date;

• Adagio’s assumptions about the size and timing of the market opportunity for its products, which is based, in part, on third-party reports not specifically prepared for Adagio or the purposes for which Adagio uses them, and Adagio’s assumptions about the growth of such market opportunity, Adagio’s ability to capture some of this market and the timing thereof;

Risks Related to Adagio’s Business

Throughout this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “Adagio,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to Adagio, prior to and/or after giving effect to the Business Combination, as the context may require.

Adagio is a medical device company that has incurred net losses in every period to date and expects to continue to incur significant losses as it develops its business.

Adagio is a medical device company that has incurred net losses in each quarterly and annual period since inception and that has not yet generated any meaningful revenue. It expects to incur increasing costs as it continues to devote substantially all of its resources towards the development and anticipated further commercialization of its products, including iCLAS, vCLAS and Cyropulse. Adagio cannot be certain if it will ever generate meaningful revenue or if or when it will produce sufficient revenue from operations to support its costs. Even if profitability is achieved, Adagio may not be able to sustain profitability. Adagio incurred net losses of $38.1 million and $23.7 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, it had an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million. Adagio expects to incur substantial losses and negative cash flows for the foreseeable future. In addition, as a public company, New Adagio will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that it did not incur as a private company. These increased expenses will make it harder for New Adagio to achieve and sustain future profitability. New Adagio may incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, many of which are beyond its control, including the other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Adagio’s growth prospects partially depend on its ability to accelerate the commercialization of its products and to capitalize on market opportunities.

Adagio’s iCLAS™ ULTC System and VT ULTC System (inclusive of vCLAS™ catheter) have obtained regulatory approvals only in the EU for commercialization. Adagio’s iCLAS ULTC Cryoablation System and pipeline products completed the IDE study enrollment, and twelve-month follow-up and clinical data collection is in progress. The System is undergoing pre-market approval application modular review (“PMA Modular Review”) in the United States; one of three modules has been accepted for review by FDA and the remaining two modules are planned for submission by July 2024. Adagio’s ability to generate revenue and achieve profitability depends upon its ability to successfully develop, obtain regulatory clearance, approval or certification for and successfully commercialize its products. Adagio’s ability to generate future revenue from its products also depends on a number of additional factors, including Adagio’s ability to:

• successfully complete clinical development of its products, including necessary clinical studies;

• achieve acceptance of its clinical trial data by the Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA’’) or foreign regulatory authorities;

• successfully develop, optimize and scale up the manufacturing processes for its products;

• establish and maintain supply and manufacturing relationships with third parties that ensure adequate and legally-compliant production of its products;

35

• complete and submit necessary applications for regulatory clearances, approvals or certifications for its products in the United States and elsewhere;

• comply with requirements enforced by the FDA, and other comparable regulatory authorities with respect to its marketing of products;

• obtain necessary FDA or foreign regulatory clearances, approvals, or certifications, for its products or for future product modifications or proposed expansions in indication for any of its products that receives regulatory approval or certification;

• establish effective sales and marketing capabilities;

• achieve patient, physician, and market acceptance for its products;

• establish, maintain and protect its intellectual property rights; and

• attract, hire and retain qualified personnel.

In addition, because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with completing clinical studies and obtaining necessary clearances, approvals or certifications, Adagio is unable to predict the timing or amount of its expenses, or if or when it will achieve or maintain revenues or profitability. In addition, Adagio’s expenses could increase beyond expectations if it decides to or is required by the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities to perform studies or trials for its products in addition to those that it currently anticipates. If Adagio completes the development and regulatory processes of its products, it anticipates incurring significant costs associated with launching and commercializing its products. Even if Adagio generates revenues from the sale of its products, it may not be profitable and may need to obtain additional funding to continue operations. If Adagio fails to achieve profitability or does not sustain profitability on a continuing basis, then it may be unable to continue its operations at planned levels and be forced to reduce its operations.

Adagio is dependent on the success of its launched products in the EU and pipeline portfolio, which is presently in the development stage and subject to on-going scientific and technical validation.

Adagio’s future success is largely dependent on its ability to successfully develop and commercialize its pipeline products, which are based on innovative yet complex technologies and remain in various stages of development (except for the iCLAS™ ULTC System and VT ULTC System (inclusive of vCLAS™ catheter) authorized for commercialization in the European Union). Adagio is investing substantially all of its management efforts and financial resources in the development and commercialization of such products. For planning purposes, Adagio estimates the timing of the accomplishment of various scientific, clinical, regulatory and other product development and commercialization goals, which it sometimes refers to as milestones. These milestones include the commencement or completion of scientific studies and clinical studies and the submission of regulatory applications. Adagio bases these milestones on a variety of assumptions, which are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties. There is a risk Adagio will not achieve these milestones on a timely basis or at all. Even if Adagio achieves these milestones, the actual timing of the achievement of these milestones can vary dramatically compared to its estimates, often for reasons beyond its control, depending on numerous factors, including:

• the rate of progress and costs and results of its clinical studies and research and development activities;

• the ability of Adagio’s products to meet the standards for regulatory clearance, approval or certification;

• the receipt of approvals, clearances or certifications from the FDA and other comparable foreign regulatory agencies;

• Adagio’s ability to compete against more established or better funded competitors;

• Adagio’s ability and/or the ability of third parties to manufacture its products, including Adagio’s ability to source critical components or materials for the manufacture of its products; and

• other actions by regulators, including actions related to a class of products.

If Adagio does not meet these milestones for its products or if it is delayed in achieving these milestones, the development and commercialization of new products, modifications to existing products or sales of existing products for new indications may be prevented or delayed, which could damage Adagio’s reputation or materially adversely affect its business. Even if Adagio achieves a milestone for a product, market acceptance for the product is not assured.

36

Even if Adagio is able to launch its pipeline portfolio successfully, it may experience material delays in its commercialization program relative to its current expectations.

Even if Adagio is able to complete development of its pipeline portfolio and obtain regulatory clearance or approval, commercial market acceptance of its products in the healthcare community, including among physicians, patients and third-party payors, will depend on many factors, including:

• its ability to provide incremental clinical and economic data demonstrating the safety, clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of, and patient benefit from, its products, and any perceived inadequacy of evidence supporting clinical benefits or cost-effectiveness over existing alternatives;

• the availability of alternative treatments;

• whether its products are included on insurance company coverage plans;

• the willingness and ability of patients and the healthcare community to adopt new technologies;

• customer demand;

• liability risks generally associated with the use of new products;

• the training required to use a new product;

• the convenience and ease of use of its products relative to other treatment methods;

• the pricing and reimbursement of its products relative to other treatment methods; and

• the marketing and distribution support for its products.

Adagio cannot assure you that it will be successful in addressing any of these criteria or any additional criteria that might affect the market acceptance of its products. If its products achieve market acceptance, they may not maintain that market acceptance over time if competing products or technologies are introduced that are received more favorably or are more cost-effective. Failure to achieve or maintain market acceptance would limit Adagio’s ability to generate revenue and would have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The life sciences technology market is highly competitive. Competitors include new entrants and established companies, many of which have significantly greater resources than Adagio. If Adagio fails to compete effectively, its business and results of operation will suffer.

The medical device industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Adagio competes with manufacturers and distributors of cardiovascular medical devices. Adagio’s most significant competitors in the electrophysiology field include Medtronic, Boston Scientific, Abbott and Johnson & Johnson. Many of its competitors are large, well-capitalized companies with significantly greater market share and resources. Therefore, they can spend more on product development, marketing, sales and other product initiatives. Adagio also competes with smaller medical device companies that have a single product or a limited range of products. Some of Adagio’s competitors have:

• significantly greater name recognition;

• broader or deeper relations with healthcare professionals, customers and third-party payors;

• larger sales forces and more established distribution networks;

• additional lines of products and the ability to offer rebates or bundle products to offer greater discounts or other incentives to gain a competitive advantage;

• greater experience in conducting research and development, manufacturing, clinical trials, marketing and obtaining regulatory clearance or approval for products;

• greater financial and human resources for product development, sales and marketing and patent prosecution;

• substantial intellectual property portfolios; and

• better established, larger scale and lower cost manufacturing capabilities.

37

Adagio competes primarily on the basis that its products are designed to enable more physicians to treat more patients more efficiently and effectively. Adagio’s continued success depends on its ability to:

• continue to develop innovative, proprietary products that address significant clinical needs in a manner that is safe and effective for patients and easy-to-use for physicians;

• obtain and maintain regulatory clearances or approvals;

• demonstrate safety and effectiveness in its sponsored and third-party clinical trials;

• expand its sales force across key markets to increase physician awareness;

• obtain and maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement for procedures using its products;

• attract and retain skilled research, development, sales and clinical personnel;

• cost-effectively manufacture, market and sell its products; and

• obtain, maintain, enforce and defend its intellectual property rights and operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others.

Even if Adagio is successful in developing its products, any one of Adagio’s competitors could reduce or eliminate Adagio’s commercial opportunities if they develop or market products that:

• are more effective;

• have fewer or less severe adverse side effects;

• are easier to use; or

• are less expensive than Adagio’s products.

Adagio cannot provide assurance that it will be successful in developing new products or commercializing them in ways that achieve market acceptance. If Adagio develops new products, sales of those products may reduce revenue generated from its existing products or may not compete effectively with competitor products. Moreover, any significant delays in its product launches may significantly impede Adagio’s ability to enter or compete in a given market and may reduce the sales that it is able to generate from these products. Adagio may experience delays in any phase of a product development, including during research and development, clinical trials, regulatory review, manufacturing and marketing. Delays in product introductions could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

If Adagio is unable to establish manufacturing capacity by itself or with third-party partners in a timely and cost-effective manner, commercialization of its products would be delayed, which would result in lost revenue and harm its business.

Adagio may encounter production delays or shortfalls because of its limited experience in manufacturing its products in commercial quantities. Such production delays or shortfalls may be caused by many factors, including the following:

• Adagio’s intent to expand its manufacturing capacity, as a result of which its production processes may have to change;

• key components of Adagio’s products are provided by a single supplier or limited number of suppliers, and Adagio does not maintain large inventory levels of these components; if Adagio experiences a shortage or quality issues in any of these components, Adagio would need to identify and qualify new supply sources, which could increase its expenses and result in manufacturing delays;

• a delay in completing validation and verification testing for new controlled environment rooms at its manufacturing facility;

• state and federal regulations, including the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (“QSR”), for the manufacture of its products, noncompliance with which could cause an interruption in its manufacturing; and

• attraction and retention of qualified employees for its operations in order to significantly increase its manufacturing output.

38

If Adagio is unable to keep up with demand for its products, its growth could be impaired, and market acceptance for its products could be harmed and physicians may instead elect to use its competitors’ products. Adagio’s inability to successfully manufacture its products in sufficient quantities could materially harm its business.

In addition, Adagio’s manufacturing facility and processes and those of its third-party suppliers are subject to announced or unannounced FDA and state regulatory inspections or audits for compliance with the QSR, state equivalent requirements, and international manufacturing standards. Developing and maintaining a compliant quality system is time consuming and expensive. Failure to maintain compliance with, or not fully complying with the requirements of the FDA, state, or foreign regulators, could result in enforcement actions against Adagio or its third-party suppliers, which could include the issuance of warning letters, seizures, prohibitions on product sales, recalls and civil and criminal penalties, any one of which could significantly impact its manufacturing supply and impair its financial results.

The commercialization of Adagio’s products will require Adagio to establish relationships and successfully collaborate with leading life science companies and research institutions.

To remain competitive, Adagio must launch new products and technologies. To accomplish this, Adagio will need to work with leading life science companies, research institutions and other third-party collaborators and service providers in the design, development and commercialization of Adagio’s products and product candidates. Establishing collaborations is difficult, time consuming and may require Adagio’s significant financial investment, including substantial upfront payments in such collaborations, which may negatively impact Adagio’s reported earnings. In addition, potential collaborators may elect not to work with Adagio based on their assessment of its financial, regulatory, or intellectual property position. Further, once news of discussions regarding possible collaborations are known in the general public, regardless of whether the news is accurate, failure to announce a collaboration agreement, or the entity’s announcement of a collaboration with an entity other than Adagio, could result in adverse speculation about Adagio, its products or its technology, resulting in harm to its reputation and its business. In addition, even if Adagio establishes new collaborations, they may not result in the successful development or commercialization of its products or technology. Relatedly, collaborating with such parties for multiple aspects of Adagio’s drug development and commercialization activities might lead to less control over many aspects of those activities. Third parties may not complete activities on schedule or in accordance with Adagio’s expectations. Failure by one or more of these third parties to meet their contractual, regulatory or other obligations to Adagio, or any disruption in the relationships between Adagio and these third parties, could delay or prevent the development, approval or commercialization of Adagio’s products and product candidates, and could also result in non-compliance or reputational harm, all with potential negative implications for Adagio’s product pipeline and business.

If Adagio is unable to establish an effective network for commercialization, including effective distribution channels and sales and marketing functions, it may adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Adagio’s limited commercialization experience and no approved or cleared products in the United States make it difficult to evaluate Adagio’s current business and assess its prospects. Adagio also currently has limited sales and marketing experience. If it is unable to establish effective sales and marketing capabilities or if it is unable to commercialize any of its products, it may not be able to effectively generate product revenue, sustain revenue growth and compete effectively. In order to generate future growth, Adagio plans to continue to expand and leverage its sales and marketing infrastructure to increase its customer base and grow its business. Identifying and recruiting qualified sales and marketing personnel and training them on its products, applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and on its internal policies and procedures requires significant time, expense and attention. It often takes several months or more before a sales representative is fully trained and productive. Adagio’s business may be harmed if its efforts to expand and train its sales force do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue, and its higher fixed costs may slow its ability to reduce costs in the face of a sudden decline in demand for its products. Any failure to hire, develop and retain talented sales and marketing personnel, to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable timeframe or timely leverage its fixed costs could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Moreover, the members of Adagio’s direct sales force are at-will employees. The loss of these personnel to competitors or otherwise could materially harm its business. If Adagio is unable to retain its direct sales force personnel or replace them with individuals of equivalent technical expertise and qualifications, or if it is unable to successfully instill technical expertise in replacement personnel, its revenue and results of operations could be materially harmed.

39

Adagio’s ability to increase its customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of its products will also depend to a significant extent on its ability to expand its marketing efforts as it plans to dedicate significant resources to its marketing programs. Adagio’s business may be harmed if its marketing efforts and expenditures do not generate a corresponding increase in revenue. In addition, Adagio believes that developing and maintaining broad awareness of its brand in a cost-effective manner is critical to achieving broad acceptance of its products and penetrating new customer accounts. Brand promotion activities may not generate patient or physician awareness or increased revenue, and even if they do, any increase in revenue may not offset the costs and expenses it incurs in building its brand. If Adagio fails to successfully promote, maintain and protect its brand, or if it incurs substantial expenses in an unsuccessful attempt to promote and maintain its brand, it may fail to attract or retain the physician acceptance necessary to realize a sufficient return on its brand building efforts, or to achieve the level of brand awareness that is critical for broad adoption of its products, which would have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

These factors also make it difficult for Adagio to forecast its financial performance and growth, and such forecasts are subject to a number of uncertainties, including Adagio’s ability to successfully develop additional products that add functionality, reduce the cost of products sold, broaden its commercial portfolio offerings and obtain FDA 510(k) clearance or PMA approval for, and successfully commercialize, market and sell, its planned or future products in the United States or in international markets. If Adagio’s assumptions regarding the risks and uncertainties it faces, which it uses to plan its business, are incorrect or change due to circumstances in its business or its markets, or if it does not address these risks successfully, Adagio’s operating and financial results could differ materially from its expectations and its business could suffer.

Adagio’s operating results may fluctuate significantly in the future, which makes its future operating results difficult to predict and could cause its operating results to fall below expectations or any guidance Adagio may provide.

Adagio’s quarterly and annual results of operations, including its revenue, profitability and cash flow, may vary significantly in the future, and period-to-period comparisons of its operating results may not be meaningful. Accordingly, the results of any one quarter or other period should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance. Adagio’s quarterly and annual financial results may fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are outside its control and, as a result, may not fully reflect the underlying performance of its business. Factors that may cause fluctuations in its quarterly and annual results include, without limitation:

• the level of demand for its products, which may vary significantly from period to period;

• expenditures that it may incur to acquire, develop or commercialize additional products and technologies;

• the timing and cost of clinical trials, including obtaining regulatory approvals or clearances for planned or future products;

• the rate at which Adagio grows its sales force and the speed at which newly hired salespeople become effective, and the cost and level of investment therein;

• the degree of competition in Adagio’s industry and any change in the competitive landscape of its industry, including consolidation among its competitors or future partners;

• coverage and reimbursement policies with respect to the procedures using its products and potential future products that compete with its products;

• the timing and success or failure of clinical trials for Adagio’s current or planned products or any future products it develops or competing products;

• the timing and cost of, and level of investment in, research, development, regulatory approval and commercialization activities relating to its products, which may change from time to time;

• the cost of manufacturing its products, which may vary depending on the quantity of production and the terms of its agreements with third-party suppliers and manufacturers;

• natural disasters, outbreaks of disease or public health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic;

• the timing and nature of any future acquisitions or strategic partnerships; and

• future accounting pronouncements or changes in Adagio’s accounting policies.

40

Because Adagio’s quarterly and annual results may fluctuate, period-to-period comparisons may not be the best indication of the underlying results of its business and should only be relied upon as one factor in determining how its business is performing.

In addition, this variability and unpredictability could result in Adagio failing to meet the expectations of industry or financial analysts or investors for any period. If its revenue or operating results fall below the expectations of analysts or investors or below any forecasts it may provide to the market, it may result in a decrease in the share price the New Adagio Common Stock.

There is no assurance that Adagio will be able to execute on its business model, including achieving market acceptance of its products.

Adagio’s ability to execute its business model is dependent on a number of factors, including:

• the ability of its senior management team to execute its business model;

• the ability to begin or maintain its pace of product development, manufacturing and commercialization;

• the ability to meet the changing needs of the catheter market;

• the ability to achieve market acceptance of its product; and

• the ability of its employees to perform at a high level.

If Adagio is unable to execute its business model, or if its business model does not drive the growth that it anticipates, or if its market opportunity is not as large as it has estimated, it could adversely affect its business and its prospects.

Adagio’s success will depend, in part, on the acceptance of its products as safe, effective and, with respect to providers, cost-effective. It cannot predict how quickly, if at all, hospitals, physicians, patients or payors will accept its products or, if accepted, how frequently they will be used. Adagio’s products and planned or future products it may develop or market may never gain broad market acceptance for some or all of its targeted indications. Hospitals, physicians, patients and payors must believe that Adagio’s products offer benefits over alternative treatment methods. Adagio’s future growth and profitability largely depend on its ability to increase physician awareness of its system and its products and on the willingness of hospitals, physicians, patients or payors to adopt them. These parties may not adopt Adagio’s products unless they are able to determine, based on experience, clinical data, medical society recommendations and other analyses, that its products are safe, effective and, with respect to providers, cost-effective, on a stand-alone basis and relative to competitors’ products. Healthcare providers must believe that its products offer benefits over alternative treatment methods. Even if Adagio is able to raise awareness, physicians tend to be slow in changing their medical treatment practices and may be hesitant to select its products for recommendation to their hospitals or patients for a variety of reasons, including:

• long-standing relationships with competing companies and distributors that sell other products;

• competitive response and negative selling efforts from providers of alternative products;

• lack of experience with its products and concerns that Adagio is relatively new to the market;

• lack or perceived lack of sufficient clinical evidence, including long-term data, supporting safety or clinical benefits; and

• time commitment and skill development that may be required to gain familiarity and proficiency with its products.

Physicians play a significant role in determining the course of a patient’s treatment, and, as a result, the type of treatment that will be utilized and provided to a patient. Adagio focuses its sales, marketing and education efforts primarily on cardiac electrophysiologists, and aims to educate referring physicians regarding the patient population that would benefit from its products. However, Adagio cannot assure you that it will achieve broad market acceptance among these practitioners.

For example, if electrophysiologists are not made aware of Adagio’s products, they may not recommend ablation for their patients or the use of Adagio’s product in their hospitals. In addition, some physicians may choose to utilize Adagio’s products on only a subset of their total patient population or may not adopt its products at all. If Adagio is not able to effectively demonstrate that the use of its products is beneficial in a broad range of patients, adoption

41

of its products will be limited and may not occur as rapidly as it anticipates or at all, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. Adagio cannot assure you that its products will achieve broad market acceptance among hospitals and physicians. Additionally, even if its products achieve market acceptance, they may not maintain that market acceptance over time if competing products, procedures or technologies are considered safer or more cost-effective or otherwise superior. Any failure of its products to generate sufficient demand or to achieve meaningful market acceptance and penetration will harm its future prospects and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio’s reputation among its current or potential customers, as well as among electrophysiologists, could also be negatively affected by safety or customer satisfaction issues involving Adagio or its products, including product recalls. Future product recalls or other safety or customer satisfaction issues relating to Adagio’s reputation could negatively affect Adagio’s ability to establish or maintain broad adoption of its products, which could harm its future prospects and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In the United States, before a hospital can purchase Adagio’s product for the first time, Adagio’s system must be approved for use by a hospital’s new product or value analysis committee, or the staff of a hospital or health system. Such approvals could deter or delay the use of Adagio’s products by physicians. Adagio cannot provide assurance that its efforts to obtain such approvals or generate adoption will be successful or increase the use of its products, and if Adagio is not successful, it could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The success of Adagio’s products depends upon appropriate physician training, practice and patient selection.

The success of Adagio’s products depends in part on the skill of the physician performing the catheter-based procedures and on their adherence to Adagio’s stated patient selection criteria and proper techniques that it provides in training sessions. For example, Adagio trains physicians to ensure correct use of its products; however, physicians rely on their previous medical training and experience when performing catheter-based procedures, and Adagio cannot guarantee that all such physicians will have the necessary skills or experience to safely and effectively perform these procedures. Adagio does not control which physicians perform these procedures or how much training they receive, and physicians who have not completed Adagio’s training sessions may nonetheless attempt to perform catheter-based procedures with its products. In addition, a perception by physicians that its products are difficult to use may negatively impact adoption. If physicians perform these procedures in a manner that is inconsistent with Adagio’s labeled indications, with components that are not its products, with patients who are not indicated for treatment with its products or without adhering to or completing Adagio’s training sessions, the patient outcomes may be negative or inconsistent with the outcomes achieved in clinical trials. This could negatively impact the perception of patient benefits and safety associated with Adagio’s products and limit adoption of its products and catheter-based thrombectomy procedures generally, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Even if Adagio’s products are commercialized and achieve broad scientific and market acceptance, if Adagio fails to improve them or introduce compelling new products, its revenue and its prospects could be harmed.

The life sciences industry is characterized by rapid and significant technological changes, frequent new product introductions and enhancements and evolving industry standards. Even if Adagio is able to achieve broad scientific and market acceptance of its ablation technologies, its ability to attract new customers and increase revenue from existing customers will depend in large part on its ability to enhance and improve its technologies and to introduce compelling new products.

The success of any enhancement to its ablation technologies or introduction of new products depends on several factors, including:

• timely completion and delivery;

• competitive pricing;

• adequate quality testing;

• integration with existing technologies;

• freedom from intellectual property encumbrance;

• appropriately timed and staged introduction; and

• overall market acceptance.

42

Any new product or enhancement to the ablation technologies that Adagio develops may not be introduced in a timely or cost-effective manner, may contain defects, errors, vulnerabilities or bugs, or may not achieve the market acceptance necessary to generate significant revenue.

The typical development cycle of new life sciences products can be lengthy and complicated, and may require new scientific discoveries or advancements, considerable resources and complex technology and engineering. Such developments may involve external suppliers and service providers, making the management of development projects complex and subject to risks and uncertainties regarding timing, timely delivery of required components or services and satisfactory technical performance of such components or assembled products. If Adagio does not achieve the required technical specifications or successfully manage new product development processes, or if development work is not performed according to schedule, then such new technologies or products may be adversely impacted. If Adagio is unable to successfully develop new products, enhance its ablation technologies to meet customer requirements, compete with alternative products, or otherwise gain and maintain market acceptance, its business, financial condition and results of operations could be harmed.

Adagio may need to raise additional capital to fund its development and commercialization plans.

Based on Adagio’s current plans over the next 24 months, it believes that the net proceeds from the Business Combination and PIPE Financing, together with its available resources and existing cash and cash equivalents, will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash requirements for at least 24 months from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. If Adagio’s available cash resources, the net proceeds from the Business Combination and PIPE Financing are insufficient to satisfy New Adagio’s liquidity requirements including because the realization of other risks described in this proxy statement/prospectus, New Adagio may be required to raise additional capital prior to such time through issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding or seek other debt financing.

New Adagio may consider raising additional capital in the future to expand its business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing or acquisition opportunities or for other reasons, including:

• funding development and marketing efforts of its ablation technology or any other future products;

• increasing its sales and marketing and other commercialization efforts to drive market adoption of its ablation technology;

• expanding its technologies into additional markets;

• preparing, filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

• acquiring, licensing or defending against third party intellectual property rights;

• acquiring or investing in complementary technologies, businesses or assets; and

• financing capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

Adagio’s present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

• delays in execution of Adagio’s development plans;

• the scope and timing of Adagio’s investment in its sales, marketing, and distribution capabilities;

• changes Adagio may make to its business that affect ongoing operating expenses;

• the costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

• changes Adagio may make in its business or commercialization strategy;

• changes Adagio may make in its research and development spending plans;

• Adagio’s need to implement additional infrastructure and internal systems;

• the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic; and

• other items affecting its forecasted level of expenditures and use of cash resources including potential acquisitions.

The various ways Adagio could raise additional capital carry potential risks. If Adagio raises funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to its stockholders could result. If Adagio raises funds by issuing debt securities, those debt securities could have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of New Adagio Common Stock. The terms of debt securities issued or borrowings pursuant to a credit agreement could impose significant restrictions on Adagio’s operations. If Adagio raises funds through collaborations or licensing arrangements, it might be required to relinquish significant rights to its technologies or products or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to Adagio.

If Adagio is unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to Adagio, if Adagio requires it, its ability to continue to pursue its business objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The size of the markets for Adagio’s products may be smaller than estimated, limiting Adagio’s ability to successfully sell its products.

Adagio’s estimates of the total addressable markets for its current products and products under development are based on a number of internal and third-party estimates, including, without limitation, the number of patients with cardiac arrhythmias and the assumed prices at which it can sell its products in markets that have not been established or that it has not yet entered. While Adagio believes its assumptions and the data underlying its estimates are reasonable, these assumptions and estimates may not be correct and the conditions supporting its assumptions or estimates may change at any time, thereby reducing the predictive accuracy of these estimates. As a result, its estimates of the total addressable market for its current or future products may prove to be incorrect. If the actual number of patients who would benefit from its products, the price at which it can sell products, or the total addressable market for its products is smaller than it has estimated, it may impair Adagio’s sales growth and have an adverse impact on its business.

Adagio is dependent on limited third-party suppliers and manufacturers for some of the components and materials used in its products, and so long as Adagio remains dependent on them, the loss of any of these suppliers and manufacturers, or any difficulties encountered by these suppliers and manufacturers in the production of Adagio’s products, could harm its business.

Adagio relies on third-party suppliers to provide it with certain components of its products, some of which are single-source suppliers. In some cases, it does not have long-term supply agreements with, or guaranteed commitments from, its suppliers, including single-source suppliers. Adagio depends on its suppliers to provide it and its customers with components and materials in a timely manner that meet its and their quality, quantity and cost requirements. These suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing for a variety of reasons, any of which could delay or impede their ability to meet Adagio’s demand. Its suppliers may also fail to comply with applicable federal, state or foreign laws or regulations, cease producing the components and materials required for Adagio products or otherwise decide to cease doing business with Adagio. If the suppliers, including the single-source suppliers, that Adagio uses are unable or unwilling to manufacture the components or materials in Adagio’s required volumes, or at specified times, Adagio may have to identify and qualify acceptable additional or alternative suppliers. This qualification process could take up to a few months and Adagio may not find sufficient capacity in a timely manner or at an acceptable cost to satisfy its production requirements. Any supply interruption from Adagio’s suppliers or failure to obtain alternative suppliers for any of the components used in its products would limit Adagio’s ability to manufacture its products and could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

FDA review and approval of a new supplier may be required if these components or materials become unavailable from Adagio’s current suppliers. Although there may be other suppliers that have equivalent components or materials that would be available to Adagio, FDA approval of any alternate suppliers, if required, could take several months or more to obtain, if it is able to be obtained at all. Any delay, interruption or cessation of production by Adagio’s third-party suppliers of important components or materials, or any delay in qualifying new components or materials, if necessary, would prevent or delay Adagio’s ability to manufacture its products.

If Adagio experiences a significant disruption in its information technology systems or security incidents, its business could be adversely affected, including its ability to operate, the loss of confidential and proprietary information, increased remediation costs, and reputational damage.

Adagio relies, or will rely, on information technology systems to keep financial records, facilitate its research and development initiatives, manage its manufacturing operations, maintain quality control, fulfill customer orders,

44

maintain corporate records, communicate with staff and external parties and operate other critical functions. Adagio’s information technology systems and those of its vendors and partners are potentially vulnerable to disruption due to breakdown, malicious intrusion and computer viruses or other disruptive events, including, but not limited to, natural disasters and catastrophes. Cyberattacks and other malicious internet-based activity continue to increase, and cloud-based platform providers of services have been and are expected to continue to be targeted. Methods of attacks on information technology systems and data security breaches change frequently, are increasingly complex and sophisticated, including social engineering and phishing scams, and can originate from a wide variety of sources. In addition to traditional computer “hackers,” malicious code, such as viruses and worms, employee theft or misuse, denial-of-service attacks and sophisticated nation-state and nation-state supported actors now engage in attacks, including advanced persistent threat intrusions. Despite Adagio’s efforts to create security barriers to such threats, it is virtually impossible for Adagio to entirely mitigate these risks. In addition, Adagio has not finalized its information technology and data security procedures and therefore, its information technology systems may be more susceptible to cybersecurity attacks than if such security procedures were finalized. Despite any of its current or future efforts to protect against cybersecurity attacks and data security breaches, there is no guarantee that Adagio’s efforts are adequate to safeguard against all such attacks and breaches. Moreover, it is possible that Adagio may not be able to anticipate, detect, appropriately react and respond to, or implement effective preventative measures against, all cybersecurity incidents.

If Adagio’s security measures, or those of its vendors and partners, are compromised due to any cybersecurity attacks or data security breaches, including as a result of third-party action, employee or customer error, malfeasance, stolen or fraudulently obtained log-in credentials or otherwise, Adagio’s business and reputation may be harmed, it could become subject to litigation and it could incur significant liability. If Adagio was to experience a prolonged system disruption in its information technology systems or those of certain of its vendors and partners, it could negatively impact its ability to serve its customers, which could adversely impact its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. If operations at Adagio’s facilities were disrupted, it may cause a material disruption in Adagio’s business if it is not capable of restoring functionality on an acceptable timeframe. In addition, Adagio’s information technology systems, and those of its vendors and partners, are potentially vulnerable to data security breaches, whether by internal bad actors, such as employees or other third parties with legitimate access to its or its third-party providers’ systems, or external bad actors, which could lead to the exposure of personal data, sensitive data and confidential information to unauthorized persons. Any such data security breaches could lead to the loss of trade secrets or other intellectual property, or could lead to the exposure of personal information, including sensitive personal information, of Adagio’s employees, customers and others, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, reputation, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, any such access, disclosure or other loss or unauthorized use of information or data could result in legal claims or proceedings, regulatory investigations or actions, and other types of liability under laws that protect the privacy and security of personal information, including federal, state and foreign data protection and privacy regulations, violations of which could result in significant penalties and fines. In addition, U.S. and international laws and regulations that have been applied to protect user privacy (including laws regarding unfair and deceptive practices in the U.S. and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union) may be subject to evolving interpretations or applications. Furthermore, defending a suit, regardless of its merit, could be costly, divert management’s attention and harm Adagio’s reputation. In addition, although Adagio seeks to detect and investigate data security incidents, security breaches and other incidents of unauthorized access to its information technology systems and data can be difficult to detect and any delay in identifying such breaches or incidents may lead to increased harm and legal exposure. Moreover, there could be public announcements regarding any cybersecurity incidents and any steps Adagio takes to respond to or remediate such incidents, and if securities analysts or investors perceive these announcements to be negative, it could, among other things, have a material adverse effect on the price of New Adagio Common Stock.

The cost of protecting against, investigating, mitigating and responding to potential breaches of Adagio’s information technology systems and data security breaches and complying with applicable breach notification obligations to individuals, regulators, partners and others can be significant. As cybersecurity incidents continue to evolve, Adagio may be required to expend significant additional resources to continue to modify or enhance its protective measures or to investigate and remediate any information security vulnerabilities. The inability to implement, maintain and upgrade adequate safeguards could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

45

Adagio may be unable to manage its anticipated growth effectively.

Adagio’s anticipated growth will place significant strains on its management, operational and manufacturing systems and processes, sales and marketing team, financial systems and internal controls and other aspects of its business. Adagio must upgrade its internal business processes and capabilities to create the scalability that a growing business demands. As of December 31, 2023, Adagio had 85 employees. To execute its anticipated growth successfully, it must continue to attract and retain qualified personnel and manage and train them effectively. Developing and commercializing the ablation technology will require Adagio to hire and retain scientific, sales and marketing, software, manufacturing, customer service, distribution and quality assurance personnel. In addition, Adagio expects that it will need to hire additional accounting, finance and other personnel as a public company. As a public company, New Adagio’s management and other personnel will need to devote a substantial amount of time towards maintaining compliance with these requirements and effectively manage these growth activities. New Adagio may face challenges integrating, developing and motivating its rapidly growing employee base.

Further, Adagio’s anticipated growth will place additional strain on its suppliers and manufacturing facilities, resulting in an increased need for it to carefully monitor quality assurance. Any failure by Adagio to manage its growth effectively could have an adverse effect on its ability to achieve its development and commercialization goals.

Adagio’s ability to successfully transition from a largely development stage company to a full scale commercial operation is uncertain given the fact that it has been in operation since 2011. As Adagio continues to grow, it will be required to implement more complex organizational management structures and may find it increasingly difficult to maintain the benefits of its corporate culture, including its ability to quickly develop and launch new and innovative products. If Adagio does not successfully manage its anticipated growth, its business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects could be harmed.

Adagio may acquire other companies or technologies, or form strategic partnership with other companies, which could divert its management’s attention, increase its capital requirements, and otherwise disrupt its operations, subject it to other risks and harm its operating results.

Adagio may in the future seek to acquire or invest in businesses, applications or technologies that it believes could complement or expand its ablation technology product or future products, enhance its technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. The pursuit of potential acquisitions may divert the attention of Adagio’s management and cause it to incur various costs and expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated. Adagio may not be able to identify desirable acquisition targets or be successful in entering into an agreement with any particular target or obtain the expected benefits of any acquisition or investment.

To date, the growth of Adagio’s operations has been organic, and it has limited experience in acquiring other businesses or technologies. Adagio may not be able to successfully integrate acquired personnel, operations and technologies, or effectively manage the combined business following an acquisition. Acquisitions could also result in dilutive issuances of equity securities, the use of Adagio’s available cash, or the incurrence of debt, which could harm Adagio’s operating results. In addition, if an acquired business fails to meet Adagio’s expectations, its operating results, business and financial condition may suffer.

If Adagio is unable to recruit and retain key executives and scientists, it may be unable to achieve its goals.

Adagio’s success depends largely on the continued services of key members of its executive management team and others in key management positions. Adagio does not currently maintain key person life insurance policies on any of its employees. If Adagio loses one or more key employees, it may experience difficulties in competing effectively, developing its technologies and implementing its business strategy.

In addition, Adagio’s research and development programs, clinical operations and sales and marketing efforts depend on Adagio’s ability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, engineers and sales professionals. Competition for skilled personnel in Adagio’s market is intense, and it has from time to time experienced, and expects to continue to experience, difficulty in hiring and retaining employees with appropriate qualifications on acceptable terms, or at all. Many of the companies with which Adagio competes for experienced personnel have greater resources than it does, and any of its employees may terminate their employment with Adagio at any time. If Adagio hires employees from competitors or other companies, their former employers may attempt to assert that these employees or Adagio has breached legal obligations, resulting in a diversion of Adagio’s time and resources and,

46

potentially, damages. In addition, job candidates and existing employees often consider the value of the stock awards they receive in connection with their employment. If the perceived benefits of Adagio’s stock awards decline, it may harm Adagio’s ability to recruit and retain highly skilled employees. If Adagio fails to attract new personnel or fails to retain and motivate its current personnel, Adagio’s business and future growth prospects could be harmed.

Adagio’s products could have unknown defects or errors, which may give rise to claims against it and adversely affect market adoption of its products.

Adagio’s business is subject to significant risks associated with the design, manufacturing, distribution and use of medical devices that are placed inside the human body, including the risk that patients may be severely injured by or even die from the misuse or malfunction of its products caused by design flaws or manufacturing defects. In addition, component failures, design defects, off-label uses or inadequate disclosure of product-related information discovered after commercial shipment or during commercial use could result in an unsafe condition or the injury or death of a patient. These problems could lead to a voluntary recall or market withdrawal of, or issuance of a safety alert relating to, Adagio’s products and could result in significant costs, negative publicity and adverse competitive pressure. Furthermore, the reporting of product defects or voluntary recalls to the FDA or analogous regulatory bodies outside the United States could result in manufacturing audits, inspections and broader recalls or other disruptions to Adagio’s manufacturing processes. The circumstances giving rise to recalls are unpredictable, and any recalls of existing or future products could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio provides a limited warranty that its products are free of material defects and conform to specifications, and offers to repair, replace or refund the purchase price of defective products. As a result, Adagio bears the risk of potential warranty claims on its products. In the event that Adagio attempts to recover some or all of the expenses associated with a warranty claim against it from its suppliers or vendors, it may not be successful in claiming recovery and any recovery from such vendor or supplier may not be adequate.

The medical device industry has historically been subject to extensive litigation over product liability claims. Adagio may be subject to product liability claims if its products cause, or merely appear to have caused, an injury or death, even if due to physician error. In addition, an injury or death that is caused by the activities of Adagio’s suppliers, such as those that provide Adagio with components and raw materials, or by an aspect of a treatment used in combination with its products, such as a complementary drug or anesthesia, may be the basis for a claim against Adagio by patients, hospitals, physicians or others purchasing or using its products, even if its products were not the actual cause of such injury or death. Adagio may choose to settle any such claims even if Adagio believes that such injuries were not due to failure of its products. An adverse outcome of any such claim involving one of its products could result in reduced market acceptance and demand for any or all of its products and could harm Adagio’s reputation or brand and its ability to market its products in the future. In some circumstances, adverse events arising from or associated with the design, manufacture or marketing of its products could result in the suspension or delay of regulatory reviews of Adagio’s premarket notifications or applications for marketing. Any of the foregoing problems could disrupt Adagio’s business and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Although Adagio carries product liability insurance, including for clinical trials and product marketing, Adagio can give no assurance that such coverage will be available or adequate to satisfy any claims. Product liability insurance is expensive, subject to significant deductibles and exclusions, and may not continue to be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Any product liability claims brought against Adagio, with or without merit, could increase its product liability insurance rates or prevent it from securing continuing coverage, harm its reputation, significantly increase its expenses, and reduce product sales. If Adagio is unable to obtain or maintain insurance at an acceptable cost or on acceptable terms with adequate coverage or otherwise protect against potential product liability claims, Adagio could be exposed to significant liabilities. Product liability claims could cause Adagio to incur significant legal fees and deductibles and claims in excess of its insurance coverage would be paid out of cash reserves, harming Adagio’s financial condition and operating results. Defending a suit, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could be costly, could divert management’s attention from Adagio’s business and might result in adverse publicity, which could result in reduced acceptance of its products in the market, product recalls or market withdrawals.

Adagio is required to file adverse event reports under Medical Device Reporting (“MDR”) regulations with the FDA, which reports are publicly available on the FDA’s website. Adagio is required to file MDRs if its products may have caused or contributed to a serious injury or death or malfunctioned in a way that would be likely to cause or contribute to a serious injury or death if it were to recur. Any such MDR that reports a significant adverse event could result in negative publicity, which could harm Adagio’s reputation and future sales. If Adagio fails to report these

47

events to the FDA within the required timeframes, or at all, the FDA could take enforcement action against Adagio. Any such adverse event involving Adagio’s products could also result in future voluntary corrective actions, such as recalls or customer notifications, or agency action, such as inspection or enforcement action. Any corrective action, whether voluntary or involuntary, as well as defending against potential lawsuits, will require the dedication of Adagio’s time and capital, distract management from operating its business, and may harm Adagio’s reputation and financial results. Analogous reporting obligations exist in the European Union and other jurisdictions outside the United States. See “—Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Compliance Matters” for further detail.

Consolidation in the medical device industry could have an adverse effect on Adagio’s revenue and results of operations.

Many medical device companies are consolidating to create new companies with greater market power. As the medical device industry consolidates, competition to provide goods and services to industry participants will become more intense. These industry participants may try to use their market power to negotiate price concessions or reductions for their products. If Adagio reduces its prices because of consolidation in the medical device industry, its revenue would decrease, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio has limited data and experience regarding the safety and efficacy of its products. Results of earlier trials may not be predictive of future clinical trial results, and planned trials may not establish an adequate safety or efficacy profile for such products and other planned or future products, which would affect market acceptance of these products.

Adagio has performed clinical trials with only limited patient populations. The long-term effects of using Adagio’s products in a large number of patients has not been studied and the results of short-term clinical use of such products do not necessarily predict long-term clinical benefits or reveal long-term adverse effects. The results of clinical trials of Adagio’s products conducted to date and ongoing or future trials and trials of its current, planned or future products may not be predictive of the results of later clinical trials, and interim results of a clinical trial do not necessarily predict final results. Adagio’s interpretation of data and results from its clinical trials do not ensure that it will achieve similar results in future clinical trials in other patient populations. In addition, preclinical and clinical data are often susceptible to various interpretations and analyses, and many companies that have believed their products performed satisfactorily in preclinical studies and earlier clinical trials have nonetheless failed to replicate such results in later clinical trials and subsequently failed to obtain marketing approval. Products in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy despite having progressed through nonclinical studies and earlier clinical trials.

If Adagio’s clinical trials are unsuccessful or significantly delayed, or if it does not complete its clinical trials, its business may be harmed.

Clinical development is a long, expensive and uncertain process and is subject to delays and the risk that products may ultimately prove unsafe or ineffective in treating the indications for which they are designed. Completion of clinical trials may take several years or more. Clinical trials can be delayed for a variety of reasons, including delays in obtaining regulatory approval to commence a trial, in reaching an agreement on acceptable clinical trial terms with prospective sites, in obtaining institutional review board (“IRB”) approval at each site, in recruiting patients to participate in a trial or in obtaining sufficient supplies of clinical trial materials.

In September 2023, Adagio announced the first Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) ULTC procedure performed using the Adagio VT Cryoablation System in the United States as part of the FULCRUM-VT early feasibility (EFS IDE) clinical trial. This bi-directionally deflectable catheter is compatible with the same ULTC energy source as in the iCLAS ULTC System for which follow-up data collection remains ongoing in the US IDE study, and which is under FDA review pursuant to a Modular PMA submission for the treatment of persistent AF. Delays in the completion of these and other clinical testing could significantly affect Adagio’s product development costs. The completion of clinical trials can be delayed for a number of reasons, including delays related to: inability to enroll sufficient numbers of study subjects in a timely manner; unexpected or serious adverse effects related to its medical device candidate experienced by patients in a clinical trial; and retaining patients who have initiated a clinical trial, but may withdraw due to treatment protocol, adverse effects from the therapy, lack of effectiveness from the treatment or personal issues or who may not return for a sufficient number of post-operative visits. Clinical trials may also be delayed, suspended or terminated as a result of ambiguous or negative interim results, or results that are inconsistent with earlier results. In addition, a clinical trial may be suspended or terminated by Adagio, the FDA, other regulatory authorities, or other numerous unforeseen factors or events during or because of the clinical trial process, including:

48

• failure to conduct the clinical trial in accordance with regulatory requirements or Adagio’s clinical protocols;

• enrollment in Adagio’s clinical trials may be slower than it anticipates, or it may experience high screen failure rates in its clinical trials, resulting in significant delays;

• Adagio’s clinical trials may produce negative or inconclusive results, and it may decide, or regulators may require it, to conduct additional clinical and/or preclinical testing which may be expensive and time-consuming;

• trial results may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

• the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may find the product is not sufficiently safe for investigational use in humans;

• the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may interpret data from preclinical testing and clinical trials in different ways than Adagio does;

• there may be delays or failure in obtaining approval of Adagio’s clinical trial protocols from the FDA or other regulatory authorities;

• there may be delays in obtaining IRB approvals or governmental approvals to conduct clinical trials at prospective sites;

• the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may find Adagio’s or its suppliers’ manufacturing processes or facilities unsatisfactory;

• the FDA or similar foreign regulatory authorities may change their review policies or adopt new regulations that may negatively affect or delay Adagio’s ability to bring a product to market or receive approvals or clearances to treat new indications;

• Adagio may have trouble in managing multiple clinical sites;

• Adagio may experience delays in agreeing on acceptable terms with third-party research organizations and trial sites that may help it conduct the clinical trials; and

• Adagio, or regulators, may suspend or terminate Adagio’s clinical trials because the participating patients are being exposed to unacceptable health or safety risks, such as the death of a patient in Adagio’s iCLAS IDE trial in October 2021, which caused Adagio to voluntarily pause the study for six months (between November 2021 and April 2022) in order to investigate and take corrective actions and obtain FDA approval to resume the study.

Delays in clinical development or delays in Adagio’s ability to achieve regulatory clearance or approval, if at all, may impact the costs, timing or successful completion of a clinical trial. Moreover, failures or perceived failures in Adagio’s clinical trials will delay and may prevent its product development and regulatory clearance or approval process, damage its business prospects and negatively affect its reputation and competitive position.

Since Adagio commercializes its products outside of the United States, its international business could expose it to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial, and economic risks associated with doing business outside of the United States.

Since Adagio commercializes its products outside of the United States, its international business could expose it to business, regulatory, political, operational, financial, and economic risks associated with doing business outside of the United States. Engaging in international business inherently involves a number of difficulties and risks, including:

• required compliance with existing and changing foreign regulatory requirements and laws;

• required compliance with U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”), and other U.S. federal laws and regulations established by the office of Foreign Asset Control;

• difficulties in developing effective marketing campaigns in unfamiliar markets;

• export or import restrictions;

49

• increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexities;

• protection of intellectual property;

• laws and business practices favoring local companies;

• foreign currency exchange, longer payment cycles and difficulties in enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through certain foreign legal systems;

• political and economic instability;

• changes in social, economic, and political conditions or in laws, regulations and policies governing foreign trade, intellectual property, manufacturing, research and development, and investment both domestically as well as in the other countries and jurisdictions in which Adagio operates and into which Adagio may sell its products including as a result of the separation of the United Kingdom from the European Union (Brexit);

• potentially adverse tax consequences, tariffs, customs charges, bureaucratic requirements and other trade barriers;

• difficulties and costs of staffing and managing foreign operations; and

• difficulties protecting, maintaining, enforcing or procuring intellectual property rights.

If one or more of these risks occurs, it could require Adagio to dedicate significant resources to remedy such occurrence, and if it is unsuccessful in finding a solution, its financial results could suffer.

Unfavorable U.S. or global economic conditions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, political instability, natural disasters, or otherwise, could adversely affect Adagio’s ability to raise capital and its business, financial condition and results of operations.

While the potential economic impact, and the duration of, the COVID-19 pandemic is difficult to assess or predict, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in, and may continue to result in, extreme volatility and disruptions in the capital and credit markets, reducing Adagio’s ability to raise additional capital through equity, equity-linked or debt financings, which could negatively impact Adagio’s short-term and long-term liquidity and its ability to operate in accordance with its operating plan, or at all. In addition, Adagio’s results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and financial markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to Adagio’s business, including weakened demand for its products and its ability to raise additional capital when needed on favorable terms, if at all. A weak or declining economy could strain Adagio’s customers’ budgets or cause delays in their payments to Adagio. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and could in the future continue to cause, and other factors could contribute to causing, delays or disruptions in Adagio’s supply chain and labor shortages and shutdowns. Any of the foregoing could harm Adagio’s business, and Adagio cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact its ability to raise capital and its business, financial condition and results of operations.

If Adagio fails to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, New Adagio may not be able to accurately report its financial results in a timely manner or prevent fraud, which could harm its business.

Effective internal controls over financial reporting are necessary for New Adagio to provide reliable financial reports and, together with adequate disclosure controls and procedures, are designed to prevent fraud. Any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could cause New Adagio to fail to meet its reporting obligations in a timely manner, or at all. In addition, any testing by New Adagio conducted in connection with Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) or any subsequent testing by New Adagio’s independent registered public accounting firm in connection with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, may reveal deficiencies in New Adagio’s internal controls over financial reporting that are deemed to be significant deficiencies or material weaknesses or that may require prospective or retroactive changes to New Adagio’s financial statements or identify other areas for further attention or improvement. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in New Adagio’s reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of New Adagio Common Stock.

New Adagio will be required to disclose material changes made in its internal controls over financing reporting and procedures on a quarterly basis and its management will be required to assess the effectiveness of these controls

50

annually. New Adagio will be required to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, and once it ceases to be an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (the “JOBS Act”), it will be required to include an attestation report on internal control over financial reporting issued by its independent registered public accounting firm. However, for as long as New Adagio is an emerging growth company, its independent registered public accounting firm will not be required to attest to the effectiveness of New Adagio’s internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

To achieve compliance with Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act within the prescribed period, New Adagio will be engaging in a process to document and evaluate its internal control over financial reporting, which is both costly and challenging. In this regard, New Adagio will need to continue to dedicate internal resources, potentially engage outside consultants and adopt a plan to assess and document the adequacy of its internal control over financial reporting, continue steps to improve control processes as appropriate, validate through testing that controls are designed and operating effectively and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal control over financial reporting.

New Adagio could be an emerging growth company for up to five years from the date of the initial public offering. An independent assessment of the effectiveness of New Adagio’s internal controls could detect problems that New Adagio’s management’s assessment might not identify. Undetected material weaknesses in New Adagio’s internal controls could lead to financial statement restatements and require it to incur the expense of remediation.

If Adagio’s estimates or judgments relating to its critical accounting policies are based on assumptions that change or prove to be incorrect, its results of operation could fall below its publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of New Adagio Common Stock.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in Adagio’s financial statements and accompanying notes. Adagio bases its estimates on historical experience and estimates and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, equity, and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. For example, in connection with the implementation of the new revenue accounting standard if and when Adagio has product sales, management makes judgments and assumptions based on its interpretation of the new standard. The new revenue standard is principle-based and interpretation of those principles may vary from company to company based on their unique circumstances. It is possible that interpretation, industry practice and guidance may evolve as Adagio applies the new standard. If Adagio’s assumptions underlying Adagio’s estimates and judgements relating to its critical accounting policies change or if actual circumstances differ from Adagio’s assumptions, estimates or judgements, its operating results may be adversely affected and could fall below Adagio’s publicly announced guidance or the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the market price of New Adagio Common Stock.

If Adagio’s facilities become unavailable or inoperable, Adagio’s research and development program and commercialization launch plan could be adversely affected, which could materially and adversely impact its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio currently maintains its research, development, manufacturing and administrative operations in a building located in Laguna Hills, California, and it does not have redundant facilities. Should Adagio’s building be significantly damaged or destroyed by natural or man-made disasters, such as earthquakes, fires (both of which are prevalent in California) or other events, it could take months to relocate or rebuild, during which time its employees may seek other positions, its research, development and manufacturing would cease or be delayed and its products may be unavailable. Because of the time required to authorize manufacturing in a new facility under federal, state and non-U.S. regulatory requirements, Adagio may not be able to resume production on a timely basis even if it were able to replace production capacity. While Adagio maintains property and business interruption insurance, such insurance has limits and would not cover all damages, including losses caused by earthquakes or losses it may suffer due to its products being replaced by competitors’ products. If Adagio’s facilities become inoperable, the inability to perform its research, development and manufacturing activities, combined with its limited inventory of materials and

51

components and manufactured products, may cause physicians to discontinue using its products or harm its reputation, and it may be unable to re-establish relationships with such physicians in the future. Consequently, a catastrophic event at Adagio’s current facility or any future facilities could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio uses hazardous chemicals and biological materials in its business. Any claims relating to improper handling, storage or disposal of these materials could be time consuming and costly.

Adagio’s research and development processes and manufacturing involve the controlled use of hazardous materials, including select chemicals that may be flammables, toxic or corrosives. It does not currently have research processes involving biohazard materials. Adagio cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or discharge and any resultant injury from these materials. In addition, the products involve the use of a high-powered laser system, which could result in injury. Adagio may be sued for any injury or contamination that results from its use or the use by third parties of these materials. Adagio does not currently maintain separate environmental liability coverage and any such contamination or discharge could result in significant cost to Adagio in penalties, damages and suspension of Adagio’s operations.

Risks Related to New Adagio’s Intellectual Property

If Adagio is unable to obtain and maintain sufficient intellectual property protection for its products and technology, or if the scope of the intellectual property protection obtained is not sufficiently broad, competitors could develop and commercialize products similar or identical to Adagio’s products, and Adagio’s ability to successfully commercialize its products may be impaired.

Adagio relies on patent protection as well as trademark, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights protection and contractual restrictions to protect its proprietary products and technologies, all of which provide limited protection and may not adequately protect its rights or permit it to gain or keep any competitive advantage. If Adagio fails to obtain, maintain, protect and enforce its intellectual property, third parties may be able to compete more effectively against it. In addition, Adagio may incur substantial litigation costs in its attempts to maintain, recover, enforce or otherwise restrict the use of its intellectual property.

To the extent Adagio’s intellectual property offers inadequate protection, or is found to be invalid or unenforceable, Adagio would be exposed to a greater risk of direct competition. If Adagio’s intellectual property does not provide adequate coverage of its products, its competitive position could be adversely affected, as could its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Both the patent application process and the process of managing patent and other intellectual property disputes can be time-consuming and expensive.

Adagio’s success depends in large part on its and its licensors’ ability to obtain and maintain protection of the intellectual property it may own solely and jointly with, or license from, third parties, particularly patents, in the United States and other countries with respect to its products and technologies. Adagio applies for patents covering its products and technologies and uses thereof, as Adagio deems appropriate. However, obtaining, maintaining, and enforcing patents is costly, time-consuming and complex, and Adagio may fail to apply for patents on important products and technologies in a timely fashion or at all, or it may fail to apply for patents in potentially relevant jurisdictions. Adagio may not be able to file and prosecute all necessary or desirable patent applications, or maintain, enforce and protect any patents that may issue from such patent applications, at a reasonable cost or in a timely manner or in all jurisdictions. It is possible that defects of form in the preparation or filing of Adagio’s patents or patent applications may exist, or may arise in the future, for example with respect to proper priority claims, inventorship, assignment, recordation, document formalities, fees, claim scope or requests for patent term adjustments. It is also possible that Adagio will fail to identify patentable aspects of its research and development output before it is too late to obtain patent protection. If Adagio delays filing a patent application, and a competitor files a patent application on the same or similar invention before Adagio does, or the subject matter otherwise is made public by Adagio or a competitor, Adagio’s ability to secure patent rights may be limited or it may not be able to patent the invention at all. Even if Adagio can patent the invention, it may be able to patent only a limited scope of the invention, and the limited scope may be inadequate to protect its products and technologies, or to block a competitor’s products and technologies that are similar or adjacent. Adagio’s earliest patent filings have been published. A competitor may review its published patents and arrive at the same or similar technology advances for its products as it develops. If the competitor files a patent application on such an advance before Adagio does, then it may no longer be able to protect that aspect of its products and technologies and it may require a license from the competitor, which may not be available on commercially viable terms. Moreover, Adagio may not develop additional

52

proprietary products, methods and technologies that are patentable. It may not have the right to control the preparation, filing and prosecution of patent applications, or to maintain the rights to patents licensed from or to third parties. Therefore, these patents and applications may not be prosecuted and enforced by such third parties in a manner consistent with the best interests of Adagio’s business.

The U.S. law relating to the patentability of certain inventions in the life sciences technology industry is uncertain and rapidly changing, which may adversely impact Adagio’s existing patents or its ability to obtain patents in the future.

Changes in either the patent laws or interpretation of the patent laws in the United States or in other jurisdictions could increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of patent applications and the enforcement or defense of issued patents. In the last decade, the U.S. Congress made sweeping changes to patent law in passing the America Invents Act (the “AIA”). These changes include, among others, allowing third-party submission of prior art to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the “USPTO”) during patent prosecution and additional procedures to challenge the validity of a patent by USPTO administered post-grant proceedings, including post-grant review, inter partes review and derivation proceedings. The changes brought about by the AIA have not been extensively tested, and therefore increase the uncertainties and costs surrounding the prosecution of Adagio’s patent applications and the enforcement or defense of its issued patents, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Various courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, have recently rendered decisions that impact the scope of patentability of certain inventions or discoveries relating to Adagio’s technology and commercial goals. Specifically, these decisions have substantially increased the probability that patent claims will be ruled patent ineligible for reciting a natural phenomenon, law of nature or abstract idea. Furthermore, in view of these decisions, since December 2014, the USPTO has published and continues to publish revised guidelines for patent examiners to apply when examining claims for patent eligibility. Patent claims relating to software algorithms, biologically-derived reagents, methods for analyzing biological systems and other subject matters that underlies Adagio technology and commercial goals are impacted by these changes.

Actions taken by the U.S. Congress, federal courts and USPTO have from time to time narrowed the scope of patent protection available in certain circumstances and weakened the rights of patent owners in certain situations. Similar changes have been made by authorities in other jurisdictions. In addition to increasing uncertainty with regard to Adagio’s ability to obtain patents in the future, such changes create uncertainty with respect to the value of patents, once obtained. Depending on decisions by authorities in various jurisdictions, the laws and regulations governing patents could change in unpredictable ways that may have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s ability to obtain new patents and to defend and enforce its existing patents and patents that it might obtain in the future.

Adagio cannot assure you that its patent portfolio will not be negatively impacted by the current uncertain state of the law, new court rulings or changes in guidance or procedures issued by governments or patent offices around the world. From time to time, the U.S. Supreme Court, other federal courts, the U.S. Congress or the USPTO may change the standards of patentability, scope and validity of patents within the life sciences technology and any such changes, or any similar adverse changes in the patent laws of other jurisdictions, could have a negative impact on Adagio’s business, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Adagio may not be able to protect its intellectual property rights throughout the world.

Filing, prosecuting, maintaining, and defending patents on Adagio’s products in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and Adagio’s intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States.

The laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States, and Adagio and any future licensor may encounter difficulties in protecting and defending such rights in foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, Adagio and any future licensor may not be able to prevent third parties from practicing its inventions in some or all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products made using Adagio’s or any future licensor’s inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors and other third parties may be able to use Adagio’s technologies in jurisdictions where Adagio has not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and technologies and may also export infringing products to territories where Adagio has patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with Adagio’s products. Adagio’s and any future licensor’s patents or other intellectual

53

property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent competitors from marketing competing products. In addition, certain countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner may be compelled to grant licenses to other parties. Furthermore, many countries limit the enforceability of patents against other parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, the patent owner may have limited remedies, which could materially diminish the value of any patents.

Many companies have encountered significant problems in protecting and defending intellectual property rights in foreign jurisdictions. The legal systems of many other countries do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for Adagio to stop the misappropriation or other violations of its intellectual property rights including infringement of its patents in such countries. The legal systems in certain countries may also favor state-sponsored companies or companies headquartered in particular jurisdictions over Adagio’s patents and other intellectual property protection. The absence of harmonized intellectual property protection laws and effective enforcement makes it difficult to ensure consistent respect for patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property rights on a worldwide basis. As a result, it is possible that Adagio will not be able to enforce its rights against third parties that misappropriate its proprietary technology in those countries.

Proceedings to enforce Adagio’s or any future licensor’s patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial cost and divert Adagio’s efforts and attention from other aspects of its business, could put its and any future licensor’s patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and its and any future licensor’s patent applications at risk of not issuing, and could provoke third parties to assert claims against Adagio. Adagio and any future licensor may not prevail in any lawsuits that it and any future licensor initiates, or that are initiated against it or any future licensor, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. In addition, changes in the law and legal decisions by courts in the United States and foreign countries may affect Adagio’s ability to obtain adequate protection for its products, services and other technologies and the enforcement of intellectual property. Accordingly, Adagio’s efforts to enforce its intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that Adagio develops or licenses. Any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Adagio may become involved in lawsuits to defend against third-party claims of infringement, misappropriation or other violations of intellectual property or to protect or enforce Adagio’s intellectual property, any of which could be expensive, time consuming and unsuccessful, and may prevent or delay its development and commercialization efforts.

Litigation may be necessary for Adagio to enforce its patent and proprietary rights and/or to determine the scope, coverage and validity of others’ proprietary rights. Litigation on these matters has been prevalent in Adagio’s industry and it expects that this will continue. To determine the priority of inventions, Adagio may have to initiate and participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that could result in substantial legal fees and could substantially affect the scope of Adagio’s patent protection. Also, Adagio’s intellectual property may be subject to significant administrative and litigation proceedings such as invalidity, unenforceability, re-examination and opposition proceedings against Adagio’s patents. The outcome of any litigation or other proceeding is inherently uncertain and might not be favorable to Adagio, and it might not be able to obtain licenses to technology that it requires or a competitor may have already obtained an exclusive license to such technology in some or all fields. Even if such licenses are obtainable, they may not be available at a reasonable cost. Adagio could therefore incur substantial costs related to royalty payments for licenses obtained from third parties, which could negatively affect its gross margins. In some cases, the outcome of litigation may be to enjoin Adagio from commercializing a patent protected technology. Adagio could encounter delays in product introductions, or interruptions in product sales, as it develops alternative methods or products.

In addition, if Adagio resorts to legal proceedings to enforce its intellectual property rights or to determine the validity, scope and coverage of the intellectual property or other proprietary rights of others, the proceedings could be burdensome and expensive, even if Adagio were to prevail.

Adagio’s commercial success may depend in part on its non-infringement of the patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Numerous significant intellectual property issues have been litigated, and will likely continue to be litigated, between existing and new participants in the life sciences market and competitors may assert that Adagio’s products infringe their intellectual property rights as part of a business strategy to impede Adagio’s successful entry into those markets. Third parties may assert that Adagio is employing their proprietary technology without authorization.

54

In addition, Adagio’s competitors and others may have patents or may in the future obtain patents and may claim that use of Adagio’s products infringes these patents. As Adagio moves into new markets and applications for its products, incumbent participants in such markets may assert their patents and other proprietary rights against Adagio as a means of slowing or preventing its entry into such markets, or as a means to extract substantial license and royalty payments from Adagio.

Issued patents covering Adagio’s products could be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged.

Adagio’s owned patents and any future licensed patents and patent applications may be subject to validity, enforceability, inventorship, and priority disputes. The issuance of a patent is not conclusive as to its inventorship, scope, validity or enforceability. Some of Adagio’s patents or patent applications may be challenged at a future point in time in litigation, opposition, derivation, reexamination, inter partes review, post-grant review or interference or other similar proceedings. Any successful third-party challenge to Adagio’s patents in this or any other proceeding could result in the unenforceability or invalidity of such patents, which may lead to increased competition to Adagio’s business, and which could have a materially adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, if Adagio or any future licensor initiates legal proceedings against a third party to enforce a patent covering Adagio products, the defendant could counterclaim that such patent covering Adagio’s products, as applicable, is invalid and/or unenforceable. In patent litigation in the United States, defendant counterclaims alleging invalidity or unenforceability are commonplace. There are numerous grounds upon which a third party can assert invalidity or unenforceability of a patent. Grounds for a validity challenge could be an alleged failure to meet any of several statutory requirements for validity/ patentability, including, but not limited to, patentable subject matter, lack of novelty, obviousness, non-enablement or sufficiency of the written description of the invention. Grounds for an unenforceability assertion could be an allegation that someone connected with prosecution of the patent withheld materially relevant information from the relevant patent office, or made a misleading statement, during prosecution. Third parties may also raise similar claims before administrative bodies in the United States or abroad, even outside the context of litigation. Such mechanisms include ex parte re-examination, inter partes review, post-grant review, derivation and equivalent proceedings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, such as opposition proceedings. Such proceedings could result in revocation of or amendment to Adagio’s patents in such a way that they no longer cover and protect its products or exclude competing products. With respect to the validity of Adagio’s patents, for example, Adagio cannot be certain that there is no invalidating prior art of which Adagio, any future licensor, Adagio’s patent counsel and the patent examiner were unaware during prosecution. The outcome following legal assertions of invalidity and unenforceability during patent litigation is unpredictable. If a defendant or other third party were to prevail on a legal assertion of invalidity or unenforceability, Adagio would lose at least part, and perhaps all, of the patent protection for its products and technologies, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, if the breadth or strength of protection provided by Adagio’s patents and patent applications is threatened, regardless of the outcome, it could dissuade companies from collaborating with Adagio to license intellectual property or develop or commercialize current or future products.

Adagio may not be aware of all third-party intellectual property rights potentially relating to its products. Publications of discoveries in the scientific literature often lag behind the actual discoveries, and patent applications in the United States and other jurisdictions are typically not published until approximately 18 months after filing or, in some cases, not until such patent applications issue as patents. Adagio might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by each of its pending patent applications and it might not have been the first to file patent applications for these inventions. To determine the priority of these inventions, Adagio may have to participate in interference proceedings, derivation proceedings or other post-grant proceedings declared by the USPTO, or other similar proceedings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, that could result in substantial cost to Adagio and the loss of valuable patent protection. The outcome of such proceedings is uncertain. No assurance can be given that other patent applications will not have priority over Adagio’s patent applications. In addition, changes to the patent laws of the United States in the last decade allow for various post-grant opposition proceedings that have not been extensively tested, and their outcome is therefore uncertain. Furthermore, if third parties bring these proceedings against Adagio’s patents, regardless of the merit of such proceedings and regardless of whether Adagio is successful, it could experience significant costs and its management may be distracted. Any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

55

If Adagio is unable to protect the confidentiality of its trade secrets, the value of its technology could be materially adversely affected and its business could be harmed.

Adagio relies heavily on trade secrets and confidentiality agreements to protect its unpatented know-how, technology and other proprietary information, including parts of the ULTC and PFCA products, and to maintain its competitive position. However, trade secrets and know-how can be difficult to protect. In particular, Adagio anticipates that with respect to its technologies, these trade secrets and know how will over time be disseminated within the industry through independent development, the publication of journal articles describing the methodology, and the movement of personnel between academic and industry scientific positions.

In addition to pursuing patents on Adagio’s technology, Adagio takes steps to protect its intellectual property and proprietary technology by entering into agreements, including confidentiality agreements, non-disclosure agreements and intellectual property assignment agreements, with its employees, consultants, academic institutions, corporate partners and, when needed, its advisers. However, Adagio cannot be certain that such agreements have been entered into with all relevant parties, and it cannot be certain that its trade secrets and other confidential proprietary information will not be disclosed or that competitors or other third parties will not otherwise gain access to Adagio’s trade secrets or independently develop substantially equivalent information and techniques. For example, any of these parties may breach the agreements and disclose Adagio’s proprietary information, including Adagio’s trade secrets, and it may not be able to obtain adequate remedies for such breaches. Such agreements may not be enforceable or may not provide meaningful protection for Adagio’s trade secrets or other proprietary information in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure or other breaches of the agreements, and Adagio may not be able to prevent such unauthorized disclosure, which could adversely impact its ability to establish or maintain a competitive advantage in the market, business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Monitoring unauthorized disclosure is difficult, and Adagio does not know whether the steps it has taken to prevent such disclosure are, or will be, adequate. If Adagio was to enforce a claim that a third party had wrongfully obtained and was using Adagio’s trade secrets, it would be expensive and time-consuming, it could distract Adagio’s personnel, and the outcome would be unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States may be less willing to protect trade secrets.

Adagio also seeks to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of its confidential proprietary information by maintaining physical security of its premises and physical and electronic security of its information technology systems, but it is possible that these security measures could be breached. If any of Adagio’s confidential proprietary information were to be lawfully obtained or independently developed by a competitor or other third party, absent patent protection, Adagio would have no right to prevent such competitor from using that technology or information to compete with Adagio, which could harm Adagio’s competitive position. Competitors or third parties could purchase Adagio’s products and attempt to reverse-engineer or replicate some or all of the competitive advantages Adagio derives from its development efforts, design around its protected technology, develop their own competitive technologies that fall outside the scope of Adagio’s intellectual property rights or independently develop its technologies without reference to Adagio’s trade secrets. If any of Adagio’s trade secrets were to be disclosed to or independently discovered by a competitor or other third party, it could materially and adversely affect Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Adagio may be subject to claims challenging the inventorship or ownership of its patents and other intellectual property.

Adagio or any future licensor may be subject to claims that former employees, collaborators or other third parties have an interest in Adagio’s patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property. For example, Adagio or any future licensor may have inventorship disputes arise from conflicting obligations of employees, consultants or others who are involved in developing Adagio’s products. In addition, counterparties to Adagio’s consulting, software development, and other agreements may assert that they have an ownership interest in intellectual property developed under such arrangements. Litigation may be necessary to defend against claims challenging ownership or inventorship of Adagio’s or any future licensor’s ownership of Adagio’s patents, trade secrets or other intellectual property. If Adagio or any future licensor fails in defending any such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, Adagio may lose valuable intellectual property rights, such as exclusive ownership of, or right to use, intellectual property that is important to its products. In such an event, Adagio may be required to obtain licenses from third parties and such licenses may not be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or may be non-exclusive. If Adagio is unable to obtain and maintain such licenses, it may need to cease the development, manufacture or commercialization of its products and technologies. Even if Adagio is successful in defending against

56

such claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management and other employees, and certain customers or partners may defer engaging with Adagio until the particular dispute is resolved. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Adagio may not be able to protect and enforce its trademarks and trade names or build name recognition in its markets of interest thereby harming its competitive position.

The registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names that Adagio owns may be challenged, infringed, circumvented, declared generic, lapsed or determined to be infringing on or dilutive of other marks owned by third parties. Adagio may not be able to protect its rights in these trademarks and trade names, which it needs in order to build name recognition. In addition, third parties may have filed, and may in the future file, for registration of trademarks similar or identical to Adagio’s trademarks, thereby impeding Adagio’s ability to build brand identity and possibly leading to market confusion. In addition, there could be potential trade name or trademark infringement claims brought by owners of other registered trademarks or trademarks that incorporate variations of Adagio’s registered or unregistered trademarks or trade names. Further, Adagio may in the future enter into agreements with owners of such third party trade names or trademarks to avoid potential trademark litigation which may limit Adagio’s ability to use its trade names or trademarks in certain fields of business. Over the long term, if Adagio is unable to establish name recognition based on its trademarks and trade names, then it may not be able to compete effectively, and its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected. Adagio’s efforts to enforce or protect its proprietary rights related to trademarks, domain names, copyrights or other intellectual property may be ineffective and could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. Any of the foregoing events could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Patent terms may be inadequate to protect Adagio’s competitive position of their products for an adequate amount of time.

Patents have a limited lifespan. In the United States, if all maintenance fees are timely paid, the natural expiration of a patent is generally 20 years from its earliest effective U.S. non-provisional filing date. While extensions may be available, the life of a patent, and the protection it affords, is limited. In the United States, a patent’s term may, in certain cases, be lengthened by patent term adjustment, which compensates a patentee for administrative delays by the USPTO in examining and granting a patent, or may be shortened if a patent is terminally disclaimed over a commonly owned patent or a patent naming a common inventor and having an earlier expiration date. Even if patents covering Adagio’s products are obtained, once the patent life has expired, Adagio may be open to competition from competitive products. If one of Adagio’s products requires extended development, testing and/or regulatory review, patents protecting such products might expire before or shortly after such products are commercialized. As a result, Adagio’s portfolio may not provide it with sufficient rights to exclude others from commercializing products similar or identical to Adagio’s, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Obtaining and maintaining Adagio’s patent protection depends on compliance with various required procedures, document submissions, fee payments and other requirements imposed by governmental patent agencies, and Adagio’s patent protection could be reduced or eliminated for non-compliance with these requirements.

Periodic maintenance fees, renewal fees, annuity fees and various other governmental fees on patents and/or applications will be due to be paid to the USPTO and various governmental patent agencies outside of the United States at several stages over the lifetime of the patents and/or applications. The USPTO and various non-U.S. governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payments and other similar provisions during the patent application process, and during the lifetime of the patent. In certain circumstances, Adagio may rely on any future licensor, or third party annuity payment service, to pay these fees due to the U.S. and non-U.S. patent agencies and to take the necessary action to comply with these requirements with respect to any future licensed intellectual property. In many cases, an inadvertent lapse can be cured by payment of a late fee or by other means in accordance with the applicable rules. However, there are situations in which non-compliance can result in abandonment or lapse of the patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, Adagio’s competitors may be able to enter the market without infringing its patents and this circumstance would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

57

Adagio may be subject to claims that its employees, consultants, independent contractors or any third parties that have access to Adagio’s confidential information or trade secrets have wrongfully used or disclosed confidential information of third parties or that its employees have wrongfully used or disclosed trade secrets of their former employers.

Adagio has employed and expects to employ individuals who were previously employed at universities or other companies, including, for example, Adagio’s competitors or potential competitors. Although Adagio tries to ensure that its employees, consultants, advisors and independent contractors do not use the proprietary information or know-how of others in their work for Adagio, it may be subject to claims that its employees, advisors, consultants or independent contractors have inadvertently or otherwise misappropriated, used or disclosed intellectual property, including trade secrets or other proprietary information of their former employers or other third parties, or to claims that Adagio have improperly used or obtained such trade secrets. Litigation may be necessary to defend against these claims. If Adagio fails in defending such claims, in addition to paying monetary damages, it may lose valuable intellectual property rights and face increased competition to its business. Any such litigation or the threat thereof may adversely affect Adagio’s ability to hire employees or contract with advisors, contractors and consultants. A loss of key research personnel work product could hamper or prevent Adagio’s ability to commercialize potential products, which could harm its business. Even if Adagio is successful in defending against these claims, litigation could result in substantial costs and be a distraction to management. This type of litigation or proceeding could substantially increase Adagio’s operating losses and reduce its resources available for development activities. Some of Adagio’s competitors may be able to sustain the costs of this type of litigation or proceedings more effectively than Adagio can because of their substantially greater financial resources.

In addition, while it is Adagio’s policy to require its employees and contractors who may be involved in the conception or development of intellectual property to execute agreements assigning such intellectual property to Adagio, Adagio may be unsuccessful in executing such an agreement with each party who, in fact, conceives or develops intellectual property that Adagio regards as its own. The assignment of intellectual property rights may not be self-executing, or the assignment agreements may be breached, and Adagio may be forced to bring claims against third parties, or defend claims that they may bring against Adagio, to determine the ownership of what Adagio regards as its intellectual property. Furthermore, individuals executing agreements with Adagio may have pre-existing or competing obligations to a third party, such as an academic institution, and thus an agreement with Adagio may be ineffective in perfecting ownership of inventions developed by that individual, which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.

Furthermore, Adagio or any future licensor may in the future be subject to claims by former or current employees, consultants or other third parties asserting an ownership right or inventorship in Adagio’s owned, or any future licensed, patents or patent applications. An adverse determination in any such proceeding may result in loss of exclusivity or freedom to operate or in patent claims being narrowed, invalidated or held unenforceable, in whole or in part, which could limit Adagio’s ability to stop others from using or commercializing similar technology, without payment to Adagio, or could limit the duration of the patent protection covering Adagio’s technology and products. Such challenges may also result in Adagio’s inability to develop, manufacture or commercialize its products without infringing third-party patent rights. Any of the foregoing could harm Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

If Adagio cannot license rights to use technologies on reasonable terms, it may not be able to commercialize new products in the future.

Adagio may identify third-party technology that it may need to license or acquire in order to develop or commercialize its products or technologies, including the ULTC and PFCA products. However, Adagio may be unable to secure such licenses or acquisitions. The licensing or acquisition of third-party intellectual property rights is a competitive area, and several more established companies may pursue strategies to license or acquire third-party intellectual property rights that Adagio may consider attractive or necessary. These established companies may have a competitive advantage over Adagio due to their size, capital resources, or greater development and commercialization capabilities. In addition, companies that perceive Adagio to be a competitor may be unwilling to assign or license rights to Adagio.

Adagio also may be unable to license or acquire third-party intellectual property rights on terms that would allow it to make an appropriate return on its investment or at all. In return for the use of a third party’s technology, Adagio may agree to pay the licensor royalties based on sales of Adagio’s products or services. Royalties are a component of cost of products or technologies and would affect the margins on Adagio’s products. Adagio may also need to

58

negotiate licenses to patents or patent applications before or after introducing a commercial product. Adagio may not be able to obtain necessary licenses to patents or patent applications, and its business may suffer if it is unable to enter into the necessary licenses on acceptable terms or at all, if any necessary licenses are subsequently terminated, if the licensor fails to abide by the terms of the license or fails to prevent infringement by third parties, or if the licensed intellectual property rights are found to be invalid or unenforceable.

Adagio’s use of open source software and failure to comply with the terms of the underlying open source software licenses could impose limitations on its ability to commercialize its products and provide third parties access to its proprietary software.

Adagio’s products utilize open source software that contain modules licensed for use from third-party authors under open source licenses. In particular, some software may be provided under license arrangements that allow use of the software for research or other noncommercial purposes. Use and distribution of open source software may entail greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open source software licensors generally do not provide warranties or other contractual protections regarding infringement claims or the quality of the code. Some open source software licenses contain requirements that the licensee make its source code publicly available if the licensee creates modifications or derivative works using the open source software, depending on the type of open source software the licensee uses and how the licensee uses it. If Adagio combines its proprietary software with open source software in a certain manner, Adagio could, under certain open source software licenses, be required to release the source code of its proprietary software to the public for free. This would allow Adagio’s competitors and other third parties to create similar products with less development effort and time and ultimately could result in a loss of Adagio’s product sales and revenue, which could have a materially adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, some companies that use third-party open source software have faced claims challenging their use of such open source software and their compliance with the terms of the applicable open source license. Adagio may be subject to suits by third parties claiming ownership of what Adagio believes to be open source software, or claiming non-compliance with the applicable open source licensing terms. Use of open source software may also present additional security risks because the public availability of such software may make it easier for hackers and other third parties to compromise or attempt to compromise Adagio’s technology platform and systems.

Although Adagio reviews and monitors its use of open source software to avoid subjecting its proprietary software to conditions Adagio does not intend, the terms of many open source software licenses have not been interpreted by United States courts, and there is a risk that these licenses could be construed in a way that could impose unanticipated conditions or restrictions on Adagio’s ability to commercialize its products and proprietary software. Moreover, Adagio cannot assure investors that its processes for monitoring and controlling its use of open source software in its products will be effective. If Adagio is held to have breached the terms of an open source software license, Adagio could be subject to damages, required to seek licenses from third parties to continue offering its products on terms that are not economically feasible, to re-engineer its products, to discontinue the sale of its products if re-engineering could not be accomplished on a timely basis, or to make generally available, in source code form, its proprietary code, any of which could adversely affect Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Intellectual property rights do not necessarily address all potential threats.

The degree of future protection afforded by Adagio’s intellectual property rights is uncertain because intellectual property rights have limitations and may not adequately protect Adagio’s business or permit it to maintain its competitive advantage. For example:

• others may be able to make products that are similar to products and technologies Adagio may develop or may be able to utilize similar technologies that are not covered by the claims of the patents that Adagio owns or licenses now or in the future;

• Adagio, or any future licensor(s), might not have been the first to make the inventions covered by the issued patent or pending patent application that Adagio owns, licenses or may own in the future;

• Adagio, or any future licensor(s), might not have been the first to file patent applications covering certain of Adagio’s or their inventions;

59

• others may independently develop similar or alternative technologies or duplicate any of Adagio’s technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating Adagio’s owned or future licensed intellectual property rights;

• it is possible that Adagio’s pending patent applications or those that it may license or own in the future will not lead to issued patents;

• issued patents that Adagio holds rights to may be held invalid or unenforceable, including as a result of legal challenges by Adagio’s competitors;

• Adagio’s competitors might conduct research and development activities in countries where Adagio does not have patent rights and then use the information learned from such activities to develop competitive products for sale in Adagio’s major commercial markets;

• Adagio may not develop additional proprietary technologies that are patentable;

• the patents of others may harm Adagio’s business; and

• Adagio may choose not to file a patent for certain trade secrets or know-how, and a third party may independently derive, use, commercialize, publish or patent such intellectual property.

Should any of these events occur, they could materially adversely affect Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Risks Related to Regulatory and Legal Compliance Matters

Adagio expects to incur substantial expenses in its pursuit of regulatory clearances and approvals for its products in the United States and can provide no assurances that it will obtain the necessary approvals from the FDA to market its products in the United States.

The United States is a key market for commercialization of Adagio’s products. Before Adagio can market its products in the United States, it must conduct and successfully complete extensive clinical trials and then receive 501(k) clearance or Premarket Approval (“PMA”) from the FDA. The time required to obtain approval by the FDA and comparable non-U.S. regulatory authorities may be unpredictable and depends upon numerous factors, including the substantial discretion of such regulatory authorities. In addition, policies, regulations or the type and amount of preclinical and clinical data necessary to gain clearance or approval may change during the course of a product’s life-cycle. Adagio is required to undertake and complete certain studies to generate data required to support submissions to the FDA and certain other regulatory authorities, which studies may require additional capital and time. The FDA can delay, limit or deny clearance or approval of a device for many reasons, including:

• Adagio’s inability to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FDA or the applicable regulatory entity or notified body that its products are safe and effective for their intended uses;

• the disagreement of the FDA or the applicable foreign regulatory body with the design or implementation of Adagio’s clinical trials or the interpretation of data from preclinical studies or clinical trials;

• serious and unexpected adverse device effects experienced by participants in Adagio’s clinical trials;

• the data from Adagio’s preclinical studies and clinical trials may be insufficient to support clearance or approval, where required;

• Adagio’s inability to demonstrate that the clinical and other benefits of the product outweigh the risks;

• the manufacturing process, facilities, or third-party manufacturers or suppliers Adagio uses may not meet applicable requirements;

• inadequate compliance with preclinical, clinical or other regulations by Adagio, its clinical investigators, or clinical trial service provides (e.g., contract research organizations); and

• the potential for approval policies or regulations of the FDA or applicable foreign regulatory bodies to change significantly in a manner rendering Adagio’s clinical data or regulatory filings insufficient for clearance or approval.

It is possible that none of Adagio’s products or any products it may seek to develop in the future will ever be cleared or approved by the FDA. Any delays in, or failure to receive or maintain, clearance or approval for its

60

products could prevent Adagio from generating revenue from these products or achieve profitability. Furthermore, even if Adagio were to obtain 501(k) clearance or PMA approval for its products, neither clearance nor approval by the FDA nor Adagio’s existing CE Marks ensures approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions that it may target for commercialization of the iCLAS or vCLAS systems, and approval by one regulatory authority does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or clearance or approval by the FDA. If Adagio does not receive or maintain regulatory clearances or approvals for its products in the United States and other jurisdictions that it targets for commercialization of its products, Adagio will not be able to successfully commercialize its products, which could substantially impair Adagio’s ability to generate revenues and materially harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio may be subject to enforcement action if Adagio engages in improper or off-label marketing or promotion of its products, including significant legal liability, fines, penalties, and injunctions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio is not permitted to promote or market its products in the United States until FDA clearance or approval is obtained. After clearance or approval, its promotional materials and user training methods must comply with the requirements of the FDA and other applicable laws and regulations, including the prohibition of the promotion of unapproved, or “off-label,” uses. Practitioners may use Adagio products off-label, as the FDA does not restrict or regulate a practitioner’s choice of treatment within the practice of medicine. However, if the FDA determines that Adagio’s promotional materials or training constitutes promotion of an off-label use, it could request that Adagio modify its training or promotional materials or subject Adagio to regulatory or enforcement actions, including the issuance of an untitled letter, a warning letter, injunction, seizure, civil fine, or criminal prosecution. Other federal, state, or foreign enforcement authorities, including the U.S. Department of Justice, might also take action if they consider Adagio’s promotional or training materials to constitute promotion of an off-label use, which could result in significant fines or penalties under other statutory authorities, such as laws prohibiting false claims for reimbursement. In that event, Adagio’s reputation could be damaged, which may lead to reduced or non-acceptance of its proposed product candidates by the market. In addition, the off-label use of Adagio’s products may increase the risk of product liability claims. Product liability claims are expensive to defend and could divert the attention of Adagio’s management, result in substantial damage awards against Adagio, and harm its reputation.

Adverse findings in post-marketing vigilance or regulatory audits could subject Adagio to suspension or withdrawal of its certificates of conformity, mandatory product recalls and significant legal liability, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

In May 2020, Adagio received an EC certificate of conformity (“CE Mark”) from its notified body (a private organization designated by the competent authorities of the EEA, to conduct conformity assessments and verify the conformity of manufacturers and their medical devices with the Essential Requirements of the EU Medical Devices Directive and the EU Medical Devices Regulations) for its Cryoablation Console, iCLAS Cryoablation Catheter, Shaped Stylets, and Esophageal Warming Balloon Catheter allowing the CE Mark to be affixed to such products permitting such products to be placed on the market within any state in the EEA and, through mutual recognition agreements, Switzerland (subject to certain localized registration and language requirements). In March 2024, Adagio received an EC certificate of conformity for the VT Cryoablation System (vCLAS™ Catheter and updated Cryoablation Console) under the EU Medical Devices Regulation (i.e., European Union Regulation 2017/745). The updated Console is compatible with both iCLAS and vCLAS catheters. Manufacturers of medical devices in the EEA are required to implement post-marketing vigilance procedures with respect to their CE Marked medical devices in accordance with the rules governing the Medical Device Vigilance System provided for in European Commission’s MDR Chapter VII. Such post-marketing vigilance procedures include surveillance of patient and user complaints and alleged incidents associated with the use of CE Marked medical devices. MDR Article 2(64) and (65) define incidents as any malfunction or deterioration in the characteristics and/or performance of a device made available on the market, including user error due to ergonomic features, as well as any inadequacy in information supplied by the manufacturer and any undesirable side-effects and serious incidents as any incident which, directly or indirectly, led, might lead to or might have led to (a) the death of a patient, or user or of other persons, (b) to the temporary or permanent serious deterioration in their state of health, or (c) serious public health threat. When a medical device is suspected to have a causal relationship with an incident that led or might have led to death of or the serious deterioration of the health of a patient, or user or of other person, its manufacturer or authorized representative in the EU must report it to the competent authority in whose territory the incident occurred. Serious incidents must be reported no later than 15 calendar days, and in some cases no later than 2 calendar days, after the manufacturer

61

becomes aware of the incident. In addition to reporting the serious incidents, the manufacturer must investigate and take any corrective action required, including Field Safety Corrective Actions (“FSCAs”). For a reportable serious incident, the manufacturer’s investigation is monitored by the competent authority, which may intervene, or initiate an independent investigation if considered appropriate. The required corrective action depends on the seriousness of the incident and varies from the issuance of advisory notices to the implementation of FSCAs or product recalls. FSCAs must be reported by the manufacturer or its authorized representative to the competent authorities of the countries affected by the FSCA. Customers and/or the end users of the medical device must also be notified. Incidents not requiring reporting to the competent authorities must be documented, reviewed, investigated and analyzed on a regular basis by the manufacturer to determine whether trending conclusions can be made concerning the safety or performance of the medical device and whether actions must be taken in relation to the continued marketing of medical devices currently on the market.

In May 2022, for example, Adagio submitted a FSCA to the competent authorities relating to a serious adverse event that occurred in October 2021 during the US pivotal IDE clinical study of the CE marked iCLAS™ Cryoablation System. The US IDE clinical study was put on a voluntary hold during the investigation of the incident, even though the iCLAS™ Cryoablation Catheter remained commercially available in the EU during such investigation. The procedure was performed with a guiding sheath that Adagio had not authorized for use with the Adagio iCLAS™ Cryoablation Catheter in the study. After the catheter successfully completed 20 freeze cycles, it was removed from the patient for post-mapping and was subsequently re-inserted into the patient without completing the functional test freeze. After re-insertion, the freeze application was initiated followed by the receipt of a console alert of a system error. The patient’s heart rate declined rapidly and the presence of nitrogen in the left atrium was confirmed with intracardiac echocardiography. The patient subsequently died. After investigation, it was determined that the guiding sheath was damaged and therefore, severely compromised the Adagio iCLAS™ Cryoablation Catheter. During catheter removal, the force applied to retract the Adagio iCLAS™ Cryoablation Catheter caused its electrode band to cut into its freezing element and sever the two layers of high-pressure tubes containing the cryogen. This resulted in an external gas leak into the patient leading to air/gas embolism and death. The FSCA reported to the competent authorities described the corrective actions implemented by Adagio including software and labeling update and retraining requirements, and the competent authorities accepted the corrective actions. The patient’s death was also reported to the FDA.

Adagio expects to incur ongoing costs to comply with these post-market vigilance obligations in EEA markets for so long as Adagio continues to market and sell products in those markets. Moreover, any patient or user complaints and/or adverse events discovered during such post-market vigilance could subject Adagio to suspension or withdrawal of its EC certificates of conformity or CE Mark, mandatory product recalls and significant legal liability, which would materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operation. In addition, a notified body or competent authority in an EEA country may perform post-marketing audits on Adagio’s products and premises from time to time. Failure to comply with such requests in a timely manner, and any adverse findings in any such audit, could subject Adagio to suspension or withdrawal of its EC certificates of conformity or CE Mark, mandatory product recalls and significant legal liability, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio may be subject to enforcement action if Adagio engages in marketing of its products pursuant to improper regulatory classifications in the EU, including suspension or withdrawal of its certificates of conformity, mandatory product recalls and significant legal liability, fines, penalties, and injunctions, which could materially and adversely affect its business, financial condition and results of operations.

To place a medical device on the market in the EU, a manufacturer must have a valid CE mark for the device, issued after the completion of a conformity assessment. For class I, II, or III medical devices, a third-party notified body must be involved in the conformity assessment procedure and issue an EC Certificate. For Class I devices, the manufacturer conducts its own conformity assessment and self-certifies the devices; the notified body is not involved. The components of the iCLAS and VT Cryoablation systems as placed on the market in the EU are individually classified and fall into different classifications. If an EU competent authority determines that an Adagio medical device is marketed under improper classification and/or improper or invalid EC Certificate, the authority may initiate enforcement action, such as ordering Adagio to recall and withdraw the respective medical device from the market and/or pursue criminal penalties under national member state law.

62

Adagio is currently subject to, and may in the future become subject to additional, U.S. federal and state laws and regulations imposing obligations on how it collects, stores and processes personal information. Adagio’s actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could harm its business. Ensuring compliance with such laws could also impair Adagio’s efforts to maintain and expand its future customer base, and thereby decrease its revenue.

In the ordinary course of Adagio’s business, it currently, and, in the future, will, collect, store, transfer, use or process sensitive data, including personally identifiable information of employees, and intellectual property and proprietary business information owned or controlled by Adagio and other parties. The secure processing, storage, maintenance, and transmission of this critical information are vital to Adagio’s operations and business strategy. Adagio is, and may increasingly become, subject to various laws and regulations, as well as contractual obligations, relating to data privacy and security in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The regulatory environment related to data privacy and security is increasingly rigorous, with new and constantly changing requirements applicable to Adagio’s business, and enforcement practices are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. These laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied differently over time and from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and it is possible that they will be interpreted and applied in ways that may have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

In the United States, various federal and state regulators, including governmental agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission, have adopted, or are considering adopting, laws and regulations concerning personal information and data security. Certain state laws may be more stringent or broader in scope, or offer greater individual rights, with respect to personal information than federal, international or other state laws, and such laws may differ from each other, all of which may complicate compliance efforts. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act (the “CCPA”), which increases privacy rights for California residents and imposes obligations on companies that process their personal information, came into effect on January 1, 2020. Among other things, the CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers and provide such consumers new data protection and privacy rights, including the ability to opt-out of certain sales of personal information. The CCPA provides for civil penalties for violations, as well as a private right of action for certain data breaches that result in the loss of personal information. This private right of action may increase the likelihood of, and risks associated with, data breach litigation. It is possible that these consumer, health-related and data protection laws may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent with Adagio’s practices. If so, this could result in government-imposed fines or orders requiring that Adagio changes its practices, which could adversely affect its business. In addition, laws in all 50 U.S. states require businesses to provide notice to consumers whose personal information has been disclosed as a result of a data breach. State laws are changing rapidly and there is discussion in the U.S. Congress of a new comprehensive federal data privacy law to which Adagio would become subject if it is enacted.

Furthermore, regulations promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), establish privacy and security standards that limit the use and disclosure of individually identifiable health information (known as “protected health information”) and require the implementation of administrative, physical and technological safeguards to protect the privacy of protected health information and ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of electronic protected health information. Determining whether protected health information has been handled in compliance with applicable privacy standards and Adagio’s contractual obligations can require complex factual and statistical analyses and may be subject to changing interpretation. Although Adagio takes measures to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, use or disclosure, Adagio’s information technology and infrastructure may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or viruses or breaches due to employee error, malfeasance or other malicious or inadvertent disruptions. Any such breach or interruption could compromise Adagio’s networks and the information stored there could be accessed by unauthorized parties, manipulated, publicly disclosed, lost or stolen. Any such access, breach or other loss of information could result in legal claims or proceedings, and liability under federal or state laws that protect the privacy of personal information, such as the HIPAA, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH), and regulatory penalties. Notice of breaches must be made to affected individuals, the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, and for extensive breaches, notice may need to be made to the media or State Attorneys General. Such a notice could harm Adagio’s reputation and its ability to compete.

Adagio is in the process of evaluating compliance needs but does not currently have in place formal policies and procedures related to the storage, collection and processing of information, and has not conducted any internal or external data privacy audits, to ensure Adagio’s compliance with all applicable data protection laws and regulations.

63

Additionally, Adagio does not currently have policies and procedures in place for assessing its third-party vendors’ compliance with applicable data protection laws and regulations. All of these evolving compliance and operational requirements impose significant costs, such as costs related to organizational changes, implementing additional protection technologies, training employees and engaging consultants, which are likely to increase over time. In addition, such requirements may require Adagio to modify its data processing practices and policies, distract management or divert resources from other initiatives and projects, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any failure or perceived failure by Adagio or its third-party vendors, collaborators, contractors and consultants to comply with any applicable federal, state or similar foreign laws and regulations relating to data privacy and security, or could result in damage to Adagio’s reputation, as well as proceedings or litigation by governmental agencies or other third parties, including class action privacy litigation in certain jurisdictions, which would subject Adagio to significant fines, sanctions, awards, penalties or judgments, all of which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Adagio is or will be subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery and anti-money laundering and similar laws, and non-compliance with such laws can subject it to administrative, civil and criminal fines and penalties, collateral consequences, remedial measures and legal expenses, all of which could adversely affect its reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio is or will be subject to anti-corruption and anti-bribery and anti-money laundering and similar laws, which prohibit corporations and individuals from paying, offering to pay, or authorizing the payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party, or political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain business or to otherwise influence a person working in an official capacity.

This includes the FCPA, which prohibits corporations and individuals from paying, offering to pay, or authorizing the payment of anything of value to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party, or political candidate in an attempt to obtain or retain business or to otherwise influence a person working in an official capacity. Adagio is also subject to the UK Anti-Bribery Act, which prohibits both domestic and international bribery, as well as bribery across both public and private sectors.

As Adagio expands its commercial operations outside of the United States, Adagio will need to comply with non-U.S. regulatory requirements, will need to expand business relationships with various third parties, and will interact more frequently with foreign officials, including regulatory authorities. Expanded programs to maintain compliance with such laws will be costly and may not be effective. Any interactions with any such parties or individuals where compensation is provided that are found to be in violation of such laws could result in substantial fines and penalties and could materially harm Adagio’s business. Furthermore, any finding of a violation under one country’s laws may increase the likelihood that Adagio will be prosecuted and be found to have violated another country’s laws. If Adagio’s business practices outside the United States are found to be in violation of the FCPA, UK Anti-Bribery Act or other similar laws, Adagio may be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s financial condition and results of operations.

If Adagio expands its developments and commercialization activities outside of the United States, it will be subject to an increased risk of inadvertently conducting activities in a manner that violates the FCPA and similar laws. If that occurs, Adagio may be subject to civil or criminal penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects.

If Adagio chooses to establish and expand its commercial operations outside of the United States, it will need to comply with non-U.S. regulatory requirements, will need to establish and expand business relationships with various third parties, and it will interact more frequently with foreign officials, including regulatory authorities. Expanded programs to maintain compliance with such laws will be costly and may not be effective. Any interactions with any such parties or individuals where compensation is provided that are found to be in violation of such laws could result in substantial fines and penalties and could materially harm Adagios’ business. Furthermore, any finding of a violation under one country’s laws may increase the likelihood that Adagio will be prosecuted and be found to have violated another country’s laws. If Adagio’s business practices outside the United States are found to be in violation of the FCPA or other similar laws, Adagio may be subject to significant civil and criminal penalties, which could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s financial condition and results of operations.

64

Adagio’s employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners, distributors and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities, including noncompliance with regulatory standards and requirements.

Adagio is exposed to the risk that its employees, independent contractors, consultants, commercial partners, distributors, and vendors may engage in misconduct or other improper activities. Misconduct by these parties could include failures to comply with applicable FDA regulations, provide accurate information to the FDA, comply with federal and state health care fraud and abuse laws and regulations, accurately report financial information or data or disclose unauthorized activities to us. In particular, sales, marketing and business arrangements in the health care industry are subject to extensive laws and regulations intended to prevent fraud, misconduct, kickbacks, self-dealing and other abusive practices. These laws and regulations may restrict or prohibit a wide range of pricing, discounting, marketing and promotion, sales commission, customer incentive programs and other business arrangements. Misconduct by these parties could also involve the improper use of information obtained in the course of clinical trials, which could result in regulatory sanctions and serious harm to Adagio’s reputation. It is not always possible to identify and deter misconduct by these parties, and the precautions Adagio takes to detect and prevent such misconduct may not be effective in controlling unknown or unmanaged risks or losses or in protecting Adagio from governmental investigations or other actions or lawsuits stemming from a failure to comply with these laws or regulations. If any such actions are instituted against Adagio, and it is not successful in defending itself or asserting its rights, those actions could have a significant impact on Adagio’s business, including the imposition of significant penalties, including civil, criminal and administrative penalties, damages, fines, disgorgement, individual imprisonment, exclusion from participation in government funded healthcare programs, such as Medicare and Medicaid, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings and the curtailment or restructuring of Adagio’s operations. If any of the physicians or other health care providers or entities with whom Adagio expects to do business is found to be not in compliance with applicable laws, they may be subject to criminal, civil or administrative sanctions, including exclusions from government funded health care programs.

Risks Related to Litigation and Regulation

Adagio is subject to extensive laws and regulations of the United States and foreign regulatory agencies that could impose substantial costs, legal prohibitions and restrictions, or unfavorable changes upon its operations, and any failure to comply with these laws and regulations, including as they evolve, could delay or entirely prevent the commercialization of its products or result in litigation and substantially harm Adagio’s business and results of operations.

Adagio is and will be subject to environmental, manufacturing, and health and safety laws and regulations at numerous jurisdictional levels, including laws relating to the use, handling, storage, recycling, disposal and human exposure to hazardous materials and with respect to constructing, expanding and maintaining its facilities. Any violations of these laws may result in substantial fines and penalties, remediation costs, third party damages, or a suspension or cessation of Adagio’s operations. The costs of compliance, including remediating contamination, if any, is found on Adagio’s properties, or any related changes to Adagio’s operations, may be significant. Adagio may also face unexpected delays in obtaining permits and approvals required by such laws in connection with its manufacturing facilities, which would hinder its ability to commence or continue its commercial manufacturing operations. Such costs and delays may adversely impact Adagio’s business prospects and results of operations.

In addition, the medical device industry is regulated extensively by governmental authorities, principally the FDA and corresponding state and foreign regulatory agencies and authorities, such as the EU legislative bodies and the EEA Member State Competent Authorities. The FDA and foreign regulatory agencies regulate, among other things, with respect to medical devices: design, development, manufacturing and release; laboratory, preclinical and clinical testing; labeling, packaging, content and language of instructions for use and storage; product safety and effectiveness; establishment registration and device listing; marketing, sales and distribution; regulatory authorization, including but not limited to pre-market clearance and approval; service operations; product traceability and record keeping procedures; advertising and promotion; recalls and field safety corrective actions; post-market surveillance, including reporting of deaths or serious injuries and malfunctions that, if they were to recur, could lead to death or serious injury; post-market studies; and product import and export. Any failures to comply with applicable laws, regulations and standards could result in significant expenses, delays, fines, or other sanctions. The laws and regulations to which Adagio is subject are complex and change from time to time. Legal or regulatory changes, and FDA’s interpretation of regulations and guidances, could result in restrictions on Adagio’s ability to carry on or expand its operations, higher than anticipated costs or lower than anticipated sales. The FDA and foreign regulatory

65

agencies enforce these regulatory requirements through, among other means, periodic announced and unannounced inspections. Adagio does not know whether it will be found compliant in connection with any future FDA inspections. Failure to comply with applicable regulations could jeopardize Adagio’s ability to sell its products and result in enforcement actions such as: warning letters; fines; injunctions; civil penalties; termination of distribution; recalls or seizures of products; delays in the introduction of products into the market; total or partial suspension of production; refusal to grant future clearances or approvals; withdrawals or suspensions of current approvals, resulting in prohibitions on sales of its products; and in the most serious cases, criminal penalties. Regulatory enforcement or inquiries, or other increased scrutiny of Adagio, could dissuade physicians from using its products and adversely affect its reputation and the perceived safety and effectiveness of its products.

Adagio also expects to become subject to laws and regulations applicable to the supply, manufacture, import, sale, and service of Adagio products, including in those countries and markets it intends to enter in the future. Compliance with such regulations will require additional time, effort and expense to ensure regulatory compliance in those countries. There can be no assurance that Adagio will be able to achieve foreign regulatory compliance in a timely manner and at its expected cost, or at all, and the costs of achieving international regulatory compliance or the failure to achieve international regulatory compliance could harm Adagio’s business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Adagio is subject to risks relating to disputes and other legal proceedings, product liability lawsuits, that may be time consuming and costly.

Adagio’s business exposes it to the risk of product liability claims that are inherent in the design, development, testing, manufacture and marketing of medical devices. This risk exists even if a device or product is cleared or approved for commercial sale or testing by FDA or other foreign regulators and manufactured in facilities registered with and regulated by FDA or an applicable foreign regulatory authority. Any manufacturing or design defects, misuse (including, but not limited to, inadequate sterilization or product cooling) by trained medical professionals or others, or abuse associated with Adagio’s products could result in patient injury or death. The medical device industry has historically been subject to extensive litigation over product liability claims, and Adagio cannot offer any assurance that it will not face product liability suits.

In addition, an injury that is caused by the activities of Adagio’s suppliers, such as those who provide it with components and raw materials, or hired medical professional field specialists, such as third party hospitals and medical professionals carrying out field tests, may be the basis for a claim against Adagio. Product liability or wrongful death claims may be brought against Adagio by patients, health care providers or others coming into contact with, or providing services using, Adagio’s products. If Adagio cannot successfully defend itself against these or similar claims, or if Adagio or its suppliers have inadequate product liability insurance, Adagio may incur substantial liabilities and reputational harm. In addition, regardless of merit or eventual outcome, product liability claims may result in:

• impairment of Adagio’s brand and/or business reputation;

• costly litigation;

• distraction of management’s attention from Adagio’s primary business;

• loss of revenue;

• the inability to commercialize Adagio’s products;

• decreased demand for Adagio’s products;

• product recall or withdrawal from the market;

• withdrawal of clinical trial participants; and

• substantial monetary awards to patients or other claimants.

While Adagio may attempt to manage its product liability exposure and other related legal liabilities by proactively recalling or withdrawing from the market any defective products, any recall or market withdrawal of Adagio’s products may delay the supply of those products to its customers and may impact its reputation. Adagio can provide no assurance that it will be successful in initiating appropriate recall or market withdrawal efforts, or adequate medical training regarding the use of its devices, that may be required in the future or that these efforts will have the intended effect of preventing product malfunctions or wrongful use and the accompanying product liability

66

that may result. Any such recalls and market withdrawals may also be used by Adagio’s competitors to harm its reputation for safety or be perceived by patients as a safety risk when considering the use of Adagio’s products, either of which could have an adverse effect on Adagio’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Adagio’s lack of a trade compliance program leaves certain regulatory trade risk inherent in international business unmitigated. If Adagio fails to comply with applicable international trade and sanctions regulations, Adagio may become subject to regulatory investigations, penalties, and fines. A trade compliance program including a screening process for customers, independent contractors, and other third parties would help avoid violations, and if a violation occurred, having a trade compliance program is often a mitigating factor in determining penalties.

Adagio has business activities and contracts with customers, independent contractors, vendors/suppliers, or other third parties in North America and internationally. However, Adagio does not have any policies related to trade controls, including export and import controls, economic sanctions, anti-boycott requirements, and regulations, or anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws. Adagio also does not have any dedicated international trade or sanctions compliance personnel or process for monitoring compliance with the international trade-related legal and regulatory obligations.

Risks Related to Financing Transactions

Adagio is subject to financing risks. There are no guarantees that Adagio can meet its financing needs for its operations and future investments at a reasonable cost or at all.

Adagio’s ability to generate cash is essential for the funding of its operations and the servicing of its debt. If existing cash balances together with the borrowing capacity under Adagio’s credit facilities were not sufficient to make future investments, make acquisitions or provide needed working capital, Adagio may require financing from other sources. Adagio’s ability to obtain such additional financing (including any Additional Financing) in the future will depend on a number of factors including prevailing capital market conditions, conditions in the industries in which it operates, its credit rating, its operating results and creditworthiness, and the purpose for such financing. These factors may affect Adagio’s ability to arrange additional financing (including any Additional Financing) on terms that are acceptable to it. If additional funds are not available on acceptable terms, Adagio may not be able to make future investments, take advantage of acquisitions or pursue other opportunities.

There are risks associated with the New Adagio Convertible Notes that could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

Immediately following the Closing, New Adagio is expected to have $20,000,000 of outstanding indebtedness under the New Adagio Convertible Notes, which will have a maturity of three years and nine months following the Closing Date. New Adagio will pay interest of 13% per annum, either, at New Adagio’s election, payable-in-kind (in which case, such interest will accrue and remain unpaid until maturity or in cash. Further, the New Adagio Convertible Notes will convert into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a rate of $10.00 per share, each subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the New Adagio Convertible Notes.

The New Adagio Convertible Notes provide for certain customary events of default, including, among others, payment defaults (subject to customary grace for interest and fees), voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, material misrepresentations, covenants breaches (subject to grace in certain instances), material judgements and material cross-defaults to other indebtedness. The New Adagio Convertible Notes also include certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including, among others, limitations on incurring additional indebtedness, the creation of additional liens on our assets, and entering into investments, in each case subject to customary exceptions, as well as a minimum liquidity requirement and an asset sale mandatory prepayment requirement, subject to customary reinvestment rights. In addition, a Change of Control, as defined in the New Adagio Convertible Notes to include, among others, certain mergers, asset sales, tender offers, business combinations and reorganizations, gives the holders of the New Adagio Convertible the right to redeem the outstanding indebtedness in cash.

New Adagio’s ability to remain in compliance with the covenants under the New Adagio Convertible Notes depends on, among other things, New Adagio’s operating performance, competitive developments and financial market conditions, all of which are significantly affected by financial, business, economic and other factors, many of which New Adagio is not able to control. The New Adagio Convertible Notes could have other important consequences, including the following:

• The limitations imposed by the New Adagio Convertible Notes on its ability to incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair New Adagio’s ability to obtain other financing. This could have serious consequences to New Adagio’s financial condition and results of operations and could cause New Adagio to become bankrupt or insolvent;

• New Adagio may need to use a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to repay the principal and accrued and unpaid interest on the New Adagio Convertible Notes if an event of default occurs prior to maturity, which would reduce funds available to New Adagio to fund its business plan and other general corporate purposes;

• New Adagio may be unable to refinance the New Adagio Convertible Notes (at all or on terms that are satisfactory) or to otherwise repay the New Adagio Convertible Notes at maturity, including any unpaid and accrued interest therein, and New Adagio may be unable to obtain additional financing for its business plan, working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or general corporate purposes. Any refinancing of the New Adagio Convertible Note could be at significantly higher interest rates, incur significant transaction fees or include more restrictive covenants;

• New Adagio may be unable to comply with the covenants in the New Adagio Convertible Notes due to business developments or financial market conditions, which could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, gives the holders of the New Adagio Convertible Notes the right to accelerate the New Adagio Convertible Notes or otherwise exercise any other remedies available to them under applicable law. Among those remedies, the holders would have the right to seize any assets of New Adagio pledged to the holders of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and/or to convert the Anew Adagio Convertible Notes into shares of New Adagio Common Stock. An event of default could cause a significant decline in the value of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock and may force New Adagio into bankruptcy or liquidation;

• The conversion of the New Adagio Convertible Notes into shares of New Adagio Common Stock could result in significant dilution to New Adagio’s existing stockholders and cause the market price of the New Adagio Common Stock to decline; and

• New Adagio may be more vulnerable to an economic downturn or recession and adverse developments in its business given its lack of revenues as a development stage company.

There can be no assurance that New Adagio will be able to manage any of the risks described above successfully. Further, capital and credit markets, which have been disrupted by macroeconomic pressures, have experienced increased volatility. As a result, access to additional financing may be challenging and is largely dependent upon evolving market conditions and other factors, which could materially impact New Adagio’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Adagio is subject to risks relating to increased interest rates and any adverse developments in the credit markets.

Adverse developments in the credit markets, including reduced liquidity or rising interest rates, could reduce the availability of funding for Adagio’s projects. Volatility in the credit and equity markets could reduce Adagio’s ability to raise additional capital through equity, equity-linked or debt financings, which could negatively impact Adagio’s short-term and long-term liquidity and its ability to operate in accordance with its operating plan, or at all, or its ability to fund its growth. Additionally, Adagio’s results of operations could be adversely affected by general conditions in the global economy and financial markets. A severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to Adagio’s business, including weakened demand for its products and technologies, and its ability to raise additional capital when needed on favorable terms, if at all. In addition, increased interest rates could strain Adagio’s customers’ budgets or cause delays in their payments to Adagio. Any of the foregoing could harm Adagio’s business, and Adagio cannot anticipate all of the ways in which the current economic climate and financial market conditions could adversely impact its ability to raise capital, business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to Tax

Adagio’s ability to use net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may be limited in connection with the Business Combination or other ownership changes.

Adagio has incurred net operating losses during its history that have yet to be utilized. To the extent that Adagio continues to generate net operating losses, unused losses will carry forward to offset future taxable income, if any, until such unused losses expire, if at all (depending on the tax year in which such losses were incurred). Under Sections 382 and 383 of the Code, U.S. federal income tax net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes may become subject to an annual limitation in the event of certain cumulative changes in the ownership of Adagio. An “ownership change” pursuant to Section 382 of the Code generally occurs if one or more stockholders or groups of stockholders who own at least 5% of the company’s stock increase their ownership by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest ownership percentage within a rolling three-year period. The ability of Adagio and/or the U.S. federal consolidated group of which Adagio is a member following the Business Combination to utilize net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes to offset future taxable income or tax liabilities may be limited as a result of ownership changes, including potential changes in connection with the Business Combination or other transactions. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Adagio has not yet determined the amount of the cumulative change in its ownership resulting from the Business Combination or other transactions, or any resulting limitations on its ability to utilize its net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes. If Adagio (or the consolidated group of which Adagio is a member) earns taxable income, such limitations could result in increased future income tax liability to Adagio and its future cash flows could be adversely affected.

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on New Adagio in connection with redemptions by New Adagio of its stock.

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the “IRA”) was signed into U.S. federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including certain redemptions) of stock by publicly traded U.S. corporations and certain U.S. subsidiaries of publicly traded non-U.S. corporations (each, a “covered corporation”). The excise tax applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022.

Because New Adagio will be a Delaware corporation and its securities will trade on Nasdaq after the Business Combination, New Adagio will be a “covered corporation” for this purpose. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its stockholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year. In addition, certain exceptions apply to the excise tax. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has authority to provide excise tax regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of, the excise tax. On December 27, 2022, the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a notice that provides interim operating rules for the excise tax, including the rules governing the calculation and reporting of the excise tax, on which taxpayers may rely until the forthcoming proposed Treasury regulations addressing the excise tax are published. Although such notice clarifies certain aspects of the excise tax, the interpretation and operation of other aspects of the excise tax remain unclear, and such interim operating rules are subject to change.

Any redemptions by New Adagio that occur after the Business Combination may be subject to the excise tax. Whether and to what extent New Adagio would be subject to the excise tax on a redemption of its stock would depend on a number of factors, including the content of forthcoming regulations and other guidance from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. As noted above, the excise tax would be payable by New Adagio, and not by the redeeming holder, and no guidance on the mechanics of any required reporting and payment of the excise tax on which taxpayers may rely have been issued to date.

Unanticipated tax laws or any changes in tax rates or in the application of the existing tax laws to Adagio may adversely impact its results of operations.

Adagio operates and is subject to income and other taxes in the United States and a growing number of other jurisdictions throughout the world. Existing domestic and foreign tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances could be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to Adagio (possibly with retroactive effect), which could require it to pay additional tax amounts, fines or penalties, surcharges, and interest charges for past amounts due, the amounts and timing of which are difficult to discern. Existing tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or

69

ordinances could also be interpreted, changed, modified, or applied adversely to Adagio’s customers (possibly with retroactive effect) and, if its customers are required to pay additional surcharges, it could adversely affect demand for its products. Furthermore, changes to federal, state, local, or international tax laws on income, sales, use, import/export, indirect, or other tax laws, statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances on multinational corporations continue to be considered by the United States and other countries where Adagio currently operates or plans to operate. These contemplated tax initiatives, if finalized and adopted by countries or subnational jurisdictions, and the other tax issues described above may materially and adversely impact Adagio’s operating activities, effective tax rate, deferred tax assets, operating income, and cash flows.

Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA

Throughout this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “ARYA,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV prior to the Business Combination and to New Adagio and its subsidiaries following the Closing.

Our Sponsor and our initial shareholders have entered into letter agreements with us to vote in favor of the Business Combination, regardless of how our Public Shareholders vote.

Unlike some other blank check companies in which the initial shareholders agree to vote their shares in accordance with the majority of the votes cast by our Public Shareholders in connection with an initial business combination, our Sponsor and each other initial shareholder, pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, has agreed, among other things, to vote all of their Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares in favor of all the proposals being presented at the General Meeting, including the Business Combination Proposal and the transactions contemplated thereby. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, our initial shareholders own approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

Our independent registered public accounting firm’s report contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a “going concern.”

As of December 31, 2023, ARYA had approximately $20,191 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $12,276,486. Further, we have incurred and expect to continue to incur significant costs in pursuit of our finance and acquisition plans, including the consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise additional capital or to consummate the Business Combination or another initial business combination will be successful. These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus do not include any adjustments that might result from our inability to continue as a going concern.

Since the initial shareholders, including ARYA’s directors and executive officers, have interests that are different, or in addition to (and which may conflict with), the interests of our shareholders, a conflict of interest may have existed in determining whether the Business Combination with Adagio is appropriate as our initial business combination. Such interests include that the Sponsor, as well as our executive officers and directors, will lose their entire investment in us if our business combination is not completed.

When you consider the recommendation of the ARYA Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the initial shareholders, including ARYA’s directors and our executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests include that our initial shareholders will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to Public Shares they may have acquired or may acquire in the future), and that the initial shareholders will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms to shareholders, rather than liquidate ARYA. Further, the personal and financial interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an investor in Adagio prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, as well as ARYA’s executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Adagio as a business combination target and completing the Business Combination with Adagio and influencing the operation of the business following the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the ARYA Board to vote for the proposals, ARYA shareholders should consider these interests as well as, among other things, the interests described below:

• the fact that the initial shareholders, including the Sponsor and certain of ARYA’s officers and directors (including those that are members of the Sponsor), have invested in ARYA an aggregate of $5,015,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares and the $4,990,000 purchase price for 499,000 Private Placement Shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the Class B ordinary shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred to each of the three independent directors 30,000 Class B ordinary shares for $0.007 per share. Such shares will have a significant higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and ARYA is liquidated. Further, in connection with the PIPE Financing, the Sponsor will forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and will subject 1,147,500 shares of New

71

Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Assuming a trading price of $11.35 per share of New Adagio Common Stock (based upon the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 9, 2024), such 2,089,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are expected to be issued to our initial shareholders at Closing (excluding the 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Trigger Price Vesting and subtracting the 1,000,000 Incentive Shares issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, by the Sponsor) would have an implied aggregate market value of $23,710,150. Even if the trading price of the New Adagio Common Stock were as low as approximately $2.40 per share, the aggregate market value of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by the initial shareholders would be approximately equal to the initial investment in ARYA by the initial shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates could earn a positive rate of return on their investments, even if other ARYA shareholders experience a negative rate of return in New Adagio and ARYA’s directors and officers and the Sponsor may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination;

Assumes the Sponsor’s forfeiture to ARYA and ListCo’s issuance to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, of 1,000,000 Incentive Shares. Does not include shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to affiliates of the Sponsor, including: (i) approximately 5,024,151 shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in connection with the PIPE Financing, including the contribution of the Bridge Financing Notes, the conversion of the Adagio Convertible Notes held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the Closing Date (which is assumed to be 4 months after execution of the Business Combination Agreement) and approximately 3,728,470 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants at $10.00 per share, (ii) the issuance of 81,170 shares New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of shares in Adagio held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor prior to Closing, and (iii) 1,250,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s New Adagio Convertible Notes at $10.00 per share and 937,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the Convert Warrants at $24.00 per share (assuming no Additional Financing is raised between signing of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and Closing). For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

• the right of the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor to hold shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up restrictions.

In addition, certain existing directors and executive officers of Adagio and certain persons who are expected to become New Adagio directors after the completion of the Business Combination may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the ARYA shareholders. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of New Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for more information.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

75

Any purchases by the Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

• if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

• our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the General Meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

• the amount of the Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

• the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

• the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

• the number of our Public Shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.

An underwritten offering involves a company engaging underwriters to purchase its shares and resell them to the public. An underwritten offering imposes statutory liability on the underwriters for material misstatements or omissions contained in the registration statement unless they are able to sustain the burden of providing that they did not know and could not reasonably have discovered such material misstatements or omissions. This is referred to as a “due diligence” defense and results in the underwriters undertaking a detailed review of the company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve any underwriters and does not generally necessitate the level of review required to establish a “due diligence” defense as would be customary on an underwritten offering.

In addition, going public via a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company does not involve a book-building process as is the case in an underwritten public offering. In any underwritten public offering,

76

the initial value of a company is set by investors who indicate the price at which they are prepared to purchase shares from the underwriters. In the case of a transaction with a special purpose acquisition company, the value of the company is established by means of negotiations between the target company, the special purpose acquisition company and, in some cases, PIPE investors who agree to purchase shares at the time of the Business Combination. The process of establishing the value of a company in a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company may be less effective than the book-building process in an underwritten public offering and also does not reflect events that may have occurred between the date of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing. In addition, underwritten public offerings are frequently oversubscribed resulting in additional potential demand for shares in the aftermarket following the underwritten public offering. There is often no such book of demand built up in connection with special purpose acquisition company transactions and no underwriters with the responsibility of stabilizing the share price, which may result in the share price being harder to sustain after the consummation of the Business Combination.

The exercise of ARYA’s directors’ and executive officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes to the terms of the Business Combination or waivers of conditions are appropriate and in ARYA’s shareholders’ best interest.

In the period leading up to the closing of the Business Combination, events may occur that, pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, would require ARYA to agree to amend the Business Combination Agreement, to consent to certain actions taken by Adagio or to waive rights that ARYA is entitled to under the Business Combination Agreement. Such events could arise because of changes in the course of Adagio’s business, a request by Adagio to undertake actions that would otherwise be prohibited by the terms of the Business Combination Agreement or the occurrence of other events that would have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business and would entitle ARYA to terminate the Business Combination Agreement. In any of such circumstances, it would be at ARYA’s discretion, acting through its board of directors, to grant its consent or waive those rights. The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more members of the ARYA Board may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what they may believe is best for ARYA and its shareholders and what they may believe is best for themselves in determining whether or not to take the requested action. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, ARYA does not believe there will be any changes or waivers that ARYA’s directors and executive officers would be likely to make after shareholder approval of the Business Combination Proposal has been obtained. While certain changes could be made without further shareholder approval, ARYA will circulate a new or amended proxy statement/prospectus and resolicit ARYA’s shareholders if changes to the terms of the transaction that would have a material impact on its shareholders are required prior to the vote on the Business Combination Proposal.

Past performance by our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, or their respective business combination targets, may not be indicative of future performance of an investment in ARYA or New Adagio.

Past performance by our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, or their respective business combination targets, is not a guarantee of success with respect to the Business Combination. You should not rely on the historical record of our management team or their affiliates, including Perceptive Advisors, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, or their respective business combination targets, as indicative of the future performance of an investment in ARYA or New Adagio or the returns ARYA or New Adagio will, or is likely to, generate going forward.

77

The Business Combination may be completed even though material adverse effects may result from the public announcement or completion of the proposed Business Combination, general business or economic conditions, industry-wide changes, and other causes.

In general, either ARYA or Adagio can refuse to complete the Business Combination if there is a material adverse effect, event, change or occurrence affecting the other party between the signing date of the Business Combination Agreement and the planned closing of the Business Combination. However, certain types of changes, events, effects or occurrences do not permit either party to refuse to complete the Business Combination under the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, even if such change could be said to have a material adverse effect on the relevant party, including, but not limited to, changes, events, effects or occurrences resulting from the following:

• any event, effect or occurrence that is generally applicable to the industries or markets in which Adagio operates;

• general business or economic conditions in or affecting the United States, or changes therein, or the global economy generally;

• any national or international political or social conditions in the United States or any other country, including the engagement by the United States or any other country in hostilities, whether or not pursuant to the declaration of a national emergency or war, or the occurrence in any place of any military or terrorist attack, sabotage or cyberterrorism;

• changes in the financial, banking, capital or securities markets generally in the United States or any other country or region in the world;

• changes or proposed changes in, or changes or proposed changes in the interpretation of, applicable laws or regulatory framework;

• the execution or public announcement of the Business Combination Agreement or the pendency or consummation of the Business Combination, including the impact thereof on the relationships of Adagio with third parties;

• failure to meet, or changes to, any internal or published budgets, projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions;

• any hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, tsunami, natural disaster, mudslides, wild fires, acts of God or other natural disasters or comparable events; or

• any epidemics, pandemics or quarantines, including COVID-19.

Furthermore, ARYA or Adagio may waive the occurrence of any material adverse effect affecting the other party. If a material adverse effect occurs and the parties still complete the Business Combination, New Adagio’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

The Adagio Stockholders, the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor, will have significant influence over us after completion of the Business Combination.

Based on the assumptions discussed in “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Ownership of New Adagio Immediately Following the Business Combination,” upon the completion of the Business Combination, (A) the Adagio Stockholders (excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital), will own, collectively, approximately 9.0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock, assuming that none of ARYA’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or approximately 11.3% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock, assuming that all of ARYA’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, (B) the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own, collectively, approximately 52.6% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock, assuming that none of ARYA’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination or approximately 66.3% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock, assuming that all of ARYA’s outstanding Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Some of these persons or entities may have interests different than yours. For example, because many

78

of these stockholders may have purchased their shares at prices substantially below the price at which shares are being sold in this transaction and have held their shares for a longer period, they may be more interested in selling the Company to an acquirer than other investors or they may want New Adagio to pursue strategies that deviate from the interests of other stockholders.

ARYA and Adagio will incur significant transaction and transition costs in connection with the Business Combination. Whether or not the Business Combination is completed, the incurrence of these costs will reduce the amount of cash available to New Adagio for other corporate purposes.

ARYA and Adagio have incurred and expect to incur significant, non-recurring costs in connection with consummating the Business Combination. ARYA and Adagio may also incur unanticipated costs associated with the Business Combination, including costs driven by New Adagio becoming a public company and the listing of the New Adagio Common Stock on a U.S. stock exchange, and these unanticipated costs may have an adverse impact on the results of operations of Adagio following the effectiveness of the Business Combination. All expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including all legal, accounting, consulting, investment banking and other fees, expenses and costs, (x) in the case the Business Combination is consummated, will be for the account of the combined company or (y) in the case the Business Combination is not consummated, will be for the account of the party incurring such fees, expenses and costs, in each case subject to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement.

ARYA and Adagio cannot provide assurance that the benefits of the Business Combination will offset the incremental transaction costs in the near term, if at all. Additionally, the costs related to the Business Combination could be significantly higher than anticipated, which could impact the benefits of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination may be subject to antitrust or foreign investment laws and regulations, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

The completion of the Business Combination may be subject to, among other things, the clearance by antitrust, competition, and foreign investment authorities pursuant to applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws and regulations. It is presently contemplated that if any such additional regulatory approvals or actions are required, those approvals or actions will be sought. The governmental agencies from which the parties may seek certain of these approvals and consents have broad discretion in administering the governing laws and regulations. We can provide no assurance that all required approvals and consents will be obtained. Moreover, as a condition to their approval of the Business Combination, agencies may impose requirements, limitations or costs or require divestitures or place restrictions on the conduct of New Adagio’s business after the closing. These requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions could jeopardize or delay the completion of the Business Combination or reduce the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination. If Adagio and ARYA agree to any material requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions in order to obtain any approvals required to consummate the Business Combination, these requirements, limitations, costs, divestitures or restrictions could reduce the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination. This could have a material adverse effect on New Adagio’s business and results of operations.

At any time before or after consummation of the Business Combination, applicable authorities could take such action under applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws as each deems necessary or desirable in the public interest, including seeking to enjoin the consummation of the Business Combination. Private parties may also seek to take legal action under applicable antitrust and foreign investment laws under certain circumstances. We cannot assure you that the any government authority will not attempt to challenge the Business Combination on antitrust or foreign investment grounds, and, if such a challenge is made, we cannot assure you as to its result.

The Business Combination may be delayed or ultimately prohibited since such initial business combination may be subject to regulatory review and approval, including pursuant to foreign investment regulations and review by governmental entities such as the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (“CFIUS”).

Certain transactions that involve a “U.S. business” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.252) and a non-U.S. individual or entity (a “foreign person,” as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.224) may be subject to review and approval by CFIUS. Whether a transaction is a “covered transaction” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.213), which CFIUS has jurisdiction to review depends on, among other factors, the nature and structure of the transaction, the nationality of the parties, the level of beneficial ownership interest, and the nature of any information or governance rights involved.

79

For example, transactions that result in “control” (as defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.208) of a U.S. business by a foreign person are subject to CFIUS jurisdiction. CFIUS also has jurisdiction to review non-“control” transactions that afford a foreign person certain information, governance, and/or access rights in a U.S. business that has a qualifying nexus to “critical technologies,” “covered investment critical infrastructure,” and/or “sensitive personal data” as those terms are defined in the CFIUS regulations (31 C.F.R. §§ 800.215, 212, 241). Foreign investments in U.S. businesses that deal in “critical technology” or that involve certain foreign government interests may be subject to mandatory pre-closing CFIUS filing requirements. Failure to make a CFIUS filing where one is required may subject the transacting parties to significant civil fine. The parties believe that Adagio does not operate a TID U.S. business, as that term is defined in 31 C.F.R. § 800.248, and as a result, the parties are not required to submit a CFIUS filing with respect to the Business Combination. Nevertheless, CFIUS may determine that it has jurisdiction over the Business Combination.

CFIUS may decide to investigate, delay, or block the Business Combination, or impose conditions with respect to it, which may delay or prevent the parties from consummating the Business Combination. Because we have only a limited time to complete our initial business combination, our failure to obtain any approvals within the requisite time period may require us to liquidate. In such event, our shareholders will miss the opportunity to benefit from the Business Combination and the potential appreciation in value of such investment. For more information, also see “Summary—Question and Answers for Shareholders of ARYA—Who is our sponsor.”

Subsequent to consummation of the Business Combination, New Adagio may be required to subsequently take write-downs or write-offs, restructuring and impairment or other charges that could have a significant negative effect on our financial condition, results of operations and the share price of our securities, which could cause you to lose some or all of your investment.

We cannot assure you that the due diligence conducted in relation to Adagio has identified all material issues or risks associated with Adagio, its business or the industry in which it competes, that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of Adagio’s control and outside of our control will not later arise. As a result of these factors, New Adagio may incur additional costs and expenses and may be forced to later write-down or write-off assets, restructure our operations, or incur impairment or other charges that could result in our reporting losses. Even if our due diligence has identified certain risks, unexpected risks may arise and previously known risks may materialize in a manner not consistent with our preliminary risk analysis. If any of these risks materialize, this could have a material adverse effect on New Adagio’s financial condition and results of operations and could contribute to negative market perceptions about our securities or New Adagio. Accordingly, any shareholders of ARYA who choose to remain shareholders following the Business Combination could suffer a reduction in the value of their shares. Such shareholders are unlikely to have a remedy for such reduction in value unless they are able to successfully claim that the reduction was due to the breach by our officers or directors of a duty of care or other fiduciary duty owed to them, or if they are able to successfully bring a private claim under securities laws that the registration statement or proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Business Combination contained an actionable material misstatement or material omission.

Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and to be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of key personnel of New Adagio, some of whom may be from ARYA and Adagio, and some of whom may join New Adagio following the Business Combination. The loss of key personnel or the hiring of ineffective personnel after the Business Combination could negatively impact the operations and profitability of New Adagio.

Our ability to successfully effect the Business Combination and be successful thereafter will be dependent upon the efforts of our key personnel. Although some of ARYA’s key personnel may remain with the target business in senior management or advisory positions following our business combination, we expect New Adagio’s current management to remain in place. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in integrating and retaining such key personnel, or in identifying and recruiting additional key individuals we determine may be necessary following the Business Combination.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what New Adagio’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and has been prepared based on a number of assumptions including, but not limited to, ListCo being considered the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination, and the cash and cash

80

equivalents of Adagio at the Closing and the number of Public Shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. Accordingly, such unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information may not be indicative of New Adagio’s future operating or financial performance and New Adagio’s actual financial condition and results of operations may vary materially from the New Adagio pro forma results of operations and balance sheet contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus, including as a result of such assumptions not being accurate. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information.”

The ability of our Public Shareholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of our Public Shares may not allow New Adagio to complete the most desirable business combination, fully fund Adagio’s business plan, or changes thereto, or optimize the capital structure of New Adagio.

At the time of entering into the Business Combination Agreement, we did not know how many shareholders may exercise their redemption rights, and therefore, we needed to structure the Business Combination based on our expectations as to the number of shares that will be submitted for redemption. The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) approval by our shareholders of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal being obtained; (ii) approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Adagio stockholders; (iii) the absence of any order, law or other legal restraint or prohibition issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) approval by Nasdaq of ListCo’s initial listing application in connection with the Business Combination (also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares or New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions”); (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part; and (vi) the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds being greater than or equal to $50,000,000. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by both ARYA and Adagio, the Business Combination Agreement could terminate, and the Business Combination may not be consummated. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.” While we believe that the $50,000,000 Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition was met based on the PIPE Financing and Bridge Financing Note and 2024 Bridge Financing Note arrangements that were executed prior to or concurrently with the Business Combination Agreement, the closing of the $20,000,000 Convertible Security Financing is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, only the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

If the conditions to the Business Combination Agreement are not met, the Business Combination may not occur.

Even if the Business Combination Agreement is approved by our shareholders, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived before the parties to the Business Combination Agreement are obligated to complete the Business Combination. For a list of the material closing conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement, see the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.”

For example, ARYA, ListCo and Adagio may not satisfy all of the other Closing conditions in the Business Combination Agreement. If the Closing conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Business Combination will not occur, or will be delayed pending later satisfaction or waiver, and such non-occurrence or delay may cause us and Adagio to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Business Combination.

During the pendency of the Business Combination, Adagio and ARYA are prohibited from entering into certain transactions that might otherwise be beneficial to Adagio, ARYA or their respective shareholders.

Until the earlier of consummation of the Business Combination or termination of the Business Combination Agreement, Adagio and ARYA are subject to certain limitations on the operations of their businesses, as summarized

81

under the section titled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Covenants of the Parties. The limitations on Adagio’s and ARYA’s conduct of their businesses during this period could have the effect of delaying or preventing other strategic transactions and may, in some cases, make it impossible to pursue business opportunities that are available only for a limited time.

Uncertainties about the Business Combination during the pre-Closing period may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Adagio or seek to change existing arrangements.

There may be uncertainty regarding whether the Business Combination will occur. This uncertainty may cause third parties to delay or defer decisions concerning Adagio, which could negatively affect Adagio’s business, prospects and growth. Third parties may seek to change existing agreements with Adagio as a result of the Business Combination for these or other reasons.

The announcement and pendency of the Business Combination could adversely affect Adagio’s business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations.

The announcement and pendency of the Business Combination could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding Adagio’s business, including with respect to Adagio’s relationships with existing and future customers, suppliers and employees, which could have an adverse effect on Adagio’s business, cash flows, financial condition or results of operations, irrespective of whether the Business Combination is completed. The business relationships of Adagio may be subject to disruption as customers, suppliers and other persons with whom Adagio has a business relationship may delay or defer certain business decisions or might decide to seek to terminate, change or renegotiate their relationships or consider entering into business relationships with other parties. The risk, and adverse effect, of any such disruptions could be exacerbated by a delay in the consummation of the Business Combination.

Because ARYA is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, in the event the Business Combination is not completed, you may face difficulties in protecting your interests, and your ability to protect your rights through the U.S. federal courts may be limited.

We are an exempted company incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process within the U.S. upon our directors or executive officers, or enforce judgments obtained in the U.S. courts against our directors or officers.

Currently, ARYA’s corporate affairs are governed by the Existing Governing Documents, the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as the same may be supplemented or amended from time to time) and the common law of the Cayman Islands. ARYA is also subject to the federal securities laws of the U.S. The rights of shareholders to take action against our directors, actions by our minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of our directors under Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedent in the Cayman Islands as well as from English common law, the decisions of whose courts are of persuasive authority, but are not binding on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of our shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of the ARYA Board under Cayman Islands law are different from what they would be under statutes or judicial precedent in some jurisdictions in the U.S. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a different body of securities laws as compared to the U.S., and certain states, such as Delaware, may have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law. In addition, Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholders derivative action in a federal court of the U.S.

The courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against ARYA judgments of courts of the U.S. obtained against it or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S.; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against ARYA or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the U.S. or any state in the U.S., so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is currently no statutory enforcement or treaty between the U.S. and the Cayman Islands providing for enforcement of judgments obtained in the U.S., the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive, given by a court of competent jurisdiction (the courts of the Cayman Islands will apply the rules of Cayman Islands private international

82

law to determine whether the foreign court is a court of competent jurisdiction) and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. Furthermore, it is uncertain that Cayman Islands courts would enforce: (1) judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or other persons that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; or (2) original actions brought against ARYA or other persons predicated upon the Securities Act. Ogier (Cayman) LLP has informed ARYA that there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relating to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. A Cayman Islands court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

As a result of all of the above, our shareholders may have more difficulty in protecting their interests in the face of actions taken by our management, members of the ARYA Board or controlling shareholders than they would as public shareholders of a U.S. company.

If the Business Combination is not completed, potential alternative target businesses may have leverage over us in negotiating an initial business combination and our ability to conduct due diligence on an initial business combination as we approach our dissolution deadline may decrease, which could undermine our ability to complete an initial business combination on terms that would produce value for our shareholders.

If the Business Combination is not completed, any potential target business with which we enter into negotiations concerning a business combination will be aware that we must complete our initial business combination by the Termination Date. Consequently, a potential target may obtain leverage over us in negotiating a business combination, knowing that we may be unable to complete a business combination with another target business by the Termination Date. ARYA has paid an aggregate of $2,013,000 for extensions from February 28, 2023 through May 9, 2024 and agreed to make extension payments in an aggregate amount of up to $3,012,000, which may include up to $999,000 of future extension payments. This risk will increase as we get closer to the time frame described above. In addition, we may have limited time to conduct due diligence and may enter into our initial business combination on terms that we would have rejected upon a more comprehensive investigation. The length of time it may take us to complete our diligence and negotiate a business combination may reduce the amount of time available for us to ultimately complete an initial business combination should such diligence or negotiations not lead to a consummated initial business combination.

The initial shareholders control the election of the ARYA Board until consummation of a business combination and hold a substantial interest in ARYA. As a result, only the initial shareholders may elect all of ARYA's directors and they may exert a substantial influence on actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that you do not support.

The initial shareholders own the Class B ordinary shares which entitle the holders thereof to elect all of ARYA's directors prior to the initial business combination. Holders of Class B ordinary shares have the exclusive right prior to ARYA's initial business combination to elect ARYA's directors. Accordingly, as holders of the Class A ordinary shares, ARYA public shareholders do not have the right to vote on the election of directors prior to consummation of the Business Combination. These provisions of the Existing Governing Documents may only be amended by a special resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued Class B ordinary shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. As a result, holders of ARYA public shares do not have any influence over the election of directors of ARYA prior to an initial business combination.

In addition, as a result of their substantial ownership in ARYA, the initial shareholders may exert a substantial influence on other actions requiring a shareholder vote, potentially in a manner that ARYA shareholders do not support, including amendments to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of ARYA and approval of major corporate transactions, including the Business Combination. Accordingly, the initial shareholders exert significant influence over actions requiring a shareholder vote at least until the completion of a business combination.

83

The Sponsor, as well as Adagio, and their respective directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our Class A ordinary shares.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities and (ii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

In addition, if such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Public Shares and the number of beneficial holders of our securities may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to maintain or obtain the quotation, listing or trading of our securities on a national securities exchange.

Any purchases by the Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

• if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

84

• our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the General Meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

• the amount of the Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

• the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

• the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

• the number of our Public Shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

If third parties bring claims against us, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be reduced and the per share redemption amount received by shareholders may be less than $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in ARYA’s initial public offering).

Our placing of funds in the Trust Account may not protect those funds from third-party claims against us. Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (other than our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account, including, but not limited to, fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the trust account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the trust account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason.

Upon redemption of our Public Shares, if we are unable to complete our business combination within the prescribed time frame, or upon the exercise of a redemption right in connection with our business combination, we will be required to provide for payment of claims of creditors that were not waived that may be brought against us within the ten years following redemption. Accordingly, the per share redemption amount received by Public Shareholders could be less than the $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account, due to claims of such creditors. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a third part vendor (other than our independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduces the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any and all rights, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Moreover, even in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. We have not independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient

85

funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we have not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations. Therefore, we cannot assure you that the Sponsor would be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

Additionally, if we are forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against us which is not dismissed, or if we otherwise enter compulsory or court supervised liquidation, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we may not be able to return to our Public Shareholders $10.00 per share (which was the offering price in our initial public offering).

The ARYA Board may decide not to enforce the indemnification obligations of our Sponsor, resulting in a reduction in the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per public share and (ii) the actual amount per public share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per public share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, and the Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against the Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their business judgment and subject to their fiduciary duties may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by the independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if the independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. If our independent directors choose not to enforce these indemnification obligations, the amount of funds in the Trust Account available for distribution to the Public Shareholders may be reduced below $10.00 per public share.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and the ARYA Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.

If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy/insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition.” As a result, a liquidator or a bankruptcy or other court could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders.

In addition, the ARYA Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to us or our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing it and us to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the claims of creditors in such proceeding may have priority over the claims of our shareholders and the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

If, before distributing the proceeds in the Trust Account to our Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, the per share amount that would otherwise be received by our shareholders in connection with our liquidation may be reduced.

86

Our shareholders may be held liable for claims by third parties against us to the extent of distributions received by them upon redemption of their shares.

If we are forced to enter into an insolvent liquidation, any distributions received by shareholders (but no more than such distributions) could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, we were unable to pay our debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. As a result, a liquidator could seek to recover all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, the ARYA Board may be viewed as having breached their fiduciary duties to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing themselves and our company to claims, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. Claims may be brought against us for these reasons.

New Adagio will be a holding company with no business operations of its own and will depend on cash flow from Adagio to meet its obligations.

Following the Business Combination, New Adagio will be a holding company with no business operations of its own or material assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries. All of its operations will be conducted by its subsidiary, Adagio, and Adagio’s subsidiaries. As a holding company, New Adagio will require dividends and other payments from its subsidiaries to meet cash requirements. The terms of any credit facility may restrict New Adagio’s or Adagio’s subsidiaries from paying dividends and otherwise transferring cash or other assets to New Adagio. If there is an insolvency, liquidation or other reorganization of any of New Adagio’s subsidiaries, New Adagio’s stockholders may have no right to proceed against their assets. Creditors of those subsidiaries will be entitled to payment in full from the sale or other disposal of the assets of those subsidiaries before New Adagio, as an equity holder, would be entitled to receive any distribution from that sale or disposal. If Adagio is unable to pay dividends or make other payments to New Adagio when needed, New Adagio will be unable to satisfy its obligations.

Changes to laws or regulations or in how such laws or regulations are interpreted or applied, or a failure to comply with any laws, regulations, interpretations or applications may adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination.

We are subject to laws and regulations, and interpretations and applications of such laws and regulations, of national, regional, state and local governments and applicable non-U.S. jurisdictions. In particular, we are required to comply with certain SEC and potentially other legal and regulatory requirements, and our consummation of the Business Combination may be contingent upon our ability to comply with certain laws, regulations, interpretations and applications and New Adagio may be subject to additional laws, regulations, interpretations and applications. Compliance with, and monitoring of, the foregoing may be difficult, time consuming and costly. Those laws and regulations and their interpretation and application may also change from time to time, and those changes could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination. A failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations, as interpreted and applied, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete the Business Combination.

On January 24, 2024, the SEC issued final rules (the “2024 SPAC Rules”), effective as of 125 days following the publication of the 2024 SPAC Rules in the Federal Register, that formally adopted some of the SEC’s proposed rules for special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) that were released on March 30, 2022. The 2024 SPAC Rules, among other items, impose additional disclosure requirements in initial public offerings by SPACs and business combination transactions involving SPACs and private operating companies; amend the financial statement requirements applicable to business combination transactions involving such companies; update and expand guidance regarding the general use of projections in SEC filings, as well as when projections are disclosed in connection with proposed business combination transactions; increase the potential liability of certain participants in proposed business combination transactions; and could impact the extent to which SPACs could become subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The 2024 SPAC Rules may materially adversely affect our business, including our ability to negotiate and complete, and the costs associated with, the Business Combination, and results of operations.

The Business Combination, and New Adagio after the consummation of the Business Combination, may be materially adversely affected by the recent and ongoing military action between Russia and Ukraine.

On February 24, 2022, Russian military forces launched a military action in Ukraine, and sustained conflict and disruption in the region is likely. Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine is highly unpredictable, this conflict could lead to significant market and other disruptions, including significant

87

volatility in commodity prices and supply of energy resources, instability in financial markets, supply chain interruptions, political and social instability, changes in consumer or purchaser preferences as well as increase in cyberattacks and espionage. Russia’s recognition of two separatist republics in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine and subsequent military action against Ukraine have led to an unprecedented expansion of sanction programs imposed by the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, Japan and other countries against Russia, Belarus, the Crimea Region of Ukraine, the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic and the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic.

The situation is rapidly evolving as a result of the conflict in Ukraine, and the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries may implement additional sanctions, export controls or other measures against Russia, Belarus and other countries, regions, officials, individuals or industries in the respective territories. Such sanctions and other measures, as well as the existing and potential further responses from Russia or other countries to such sanctions, tensions and military actions, could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our ability to finance the Business Combination, and the business, financial condition and results of operations of New Adagio after the consummation of the Business Combination may be materially adversely affected.

Macro-economic turbulence and instability relating to recent and ongoing global conflicts and other drivers of uncertainty may adversely affect our business, investments and results of operations and our ability to successfully consummate the Business Combination.

A deterioration in economic conditions and related drivers of global uncertainty and change, such as reduced business activity, high unemployment, rising interest rates, housing prices, and energy prices (including the price of gasoline), increased consumer indebtedness, lack of available credit, the rate of inflation, and consumer perceptions of the economy, as well as other factors, such as terrorist attacks, protests, looting, and other forms of civil unrest, cyber attacks and data breaches, public health emergencies (such as the COVID-19 pandemic and other epidemics), extreme weather conditions and climate change, significant changes in the political environment, political instability, armed conflict (such as the ongoing military conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the military conflict in Israel and Gaza) and/or public policy, including increased state, local or federal taxation, could adversely affect our financial condition, the financial condition of Adagio, or the financial condition of New Adagio if we successfully consummate the Business Combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, we may be required to institute burdensome compliance requirements and our activities may be restricted, which may make it difficult for us to complete our initial business combination.

If we are deemed to be an investment company under the Investment Company Act, our activities would be severely restricted. In addition, we would be subject to burdensome compliance requirements. We do not believe that our principal activities will subject us to regulation as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. However, if we are deemed to be an investment company and subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. As a result, unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we may abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead liquidate ARYA. Were we to liquidate, our securityholders would lose the investment opportunity associated with an investment in New Adagio, including any potential price appreciation of our securities.

Initially, the funds in the Trust Account had, since our initial public offering, been held only in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds investing solely in U.S. government treasury obligations and meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. However, to mitigate the risk of us being deemed to be an unregistered investment company (including under the subjective test of Section 3(a)(1)(A) of the Investment Company Act) and thus subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act, we liquidated the U.S. government treasury obligations or money market funds held in the Trust Account and instructed Continental, the trustee with respect to the Trust Account, to maintain the funds in the trust account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account at a bank until the earlier of the consummation of our initial business combination or the liquidation of ARYA. Interest on such deposit account is currently approximately 3.5%-4.0% per annum, but such deposit account carries a variable rate and ARYA cannot assure you that such rate will not decrease or increase significantly. Following such liquidation, we have received minimal interest on the funds held in the Trust Account. However, interest previously earned on the funds held in the Trust Account still may be

88

released to us to pay our taxes, if any. As a result, the decision to hold all funds in the Trust Account in cash items has reduced the dollar amount our Public Shareholders would receive upon any redemption or liquidation of ARYA.

In the adopting release for the 2024 SPAC Rules, the SEC provided guidance that a SPAC’s potential status as an “investment company” depends on a variety of factors, such as a SPAC’s duration, asset composition, business purpose and activities and “is a question of facts and circumstances” requiring individualized analysis. If we were deemed to be subject to compliance with and regulation under the Investment Company Act, we would be subject to additional regulatory burdens and expenses for which we have not allotted funds. Unless we are able to modify our activities so that we would not be deemed an investment company, we would either register as an investment company or wind down and abandon our efforts to complete an initial business combination and instead to liquidate ARYA.

New Adagio does not have experience operating as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws and may not be able to adequately develop and implement the governance, compliance, risk management and control infrastructure and culture required for a public company, including compliance with the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

New Adagio does not have experience operating as a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws. Adagio’s officers and directors lack experience in managing a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws, which makes their ability to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations uncertain. New Adagio’s failure to comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations could subject New Adagio to U.S. regulatory scrutiny or sanction, which could harm its reputation and share price.

Neither New Adagio nor Adagio has previously been required to prepare or file periodic or other reports with the SEC or to comply with the other requirements of U.S. federal securities laws. They have not previously been required to establish and maintain the disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting applicable to an entity that is a foreign private issuer under U.S. federal securities laws, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. New Adagio may experience errors, mistakes and lapses in processes and controls, resulting in failure to meet requisite U.S. standards.

As a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws, New Adagio will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance, compliance, and other expenses. Compliance with reporting, internal control over financial reporting and corporate governance obligations may require members of its management and its finance and accounting staff to divert time and resources from other responsibilities to ensure these new regulatory requirements are fulfilled.

If it fails to adequately implement the required governance and control framework, New Adagio may fail to comply with the applicable rules or requirements associated with being a public company subject to U.S. federal securities laws. Such failure could result in the loss of investor confidence, could harm New Adagio’s reputation, and cause the market price of New Adagio Common Stock to decline.

Due to inadequate governance and internal control policies, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected, which could result in failures to make required filings in a timely manner or result in making filings containing incorrect or misleading information. Any of these outcomes could result in SEC enforcement actions, monetary fines or other penalties, as well as damage to New Adagio’s reputation, business, financial condition, operating results and stock price.

New Adagio is an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if New Adagio takes advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “emerging growth companies,” this could make New Adagio’s securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare New Adagio’s performance with other public companies.

New Adagio is an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. For as long as New Adagio continues to be an emerging growth company, New Adagio may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. New Adagio could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although New Adagio could lose that status sooner if its revenues exceed $1.235 billion, if New Adagio issues more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt in a three-year period, or if it becomes a large accelerated filer, as defined under the Exchange Act. We cannot predict if investors will find New Adagio securities less attractive because New Adagio relies on these exemptions. If some investors find New Adagio securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for New Adagio securities, and the price of New Adagio securities may be more volatile.

89

The price of the New Adagio Common Stock may be volatile.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the price of New Adagio Common Stock may fluctuate due to a variety of factors, including:

• changes in the industry in which New Adagio and its customers operate;

• variations in its operating performance and the performance of its competitors in general;

• the impact of pandemics on the markets and the broader global economy, including the resurgence of new variants of COVID-19;

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in New Adagio’s annual or interim operating results;

• publication of research reports by securities analysts about New Adagio or its competitors or its industry;

• the public’s reaction to New Adagio’s press releases, its other public announcements and its filings with the SEC;

• New Adagio’s failure or the failure of its competitors to meet analysts’ projections or guidance that New Adagio or its competitors may give to the market;

• additions and departures of key personnel;

• changes in laws and regulations affecting its business;

• failure to comply with laws or regulations, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or failure to comply with the requirements of the relevant U.S. stock exchange;

• actual, potential or perceived control, accounting or reporting problems;

• commencement of, or involvement in, litigation involving New Adagio;

• changes in New Adagio’s capital structure, such as future issuances of securities or the incurrence of additional debt;

• the volume of New Adagio’s capital stock available for public sale;

• general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, foreign currency fluctuations, international tariffs, sanctions, export controls, social, political and economic risks and epidemics and pandemics (including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic), acts of war or terrorism; and

• the other factors described in this “Risk Factors” section or the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

These market and industry factors may materially reduce the market price of New Adagio Common Stock and regardless of the operating performance of New Adagio.

It is not expected that New Adagio will pay dividends in the foreseeable future after the Business Combination.

It is expected that New Adagio will retain most, if not all, of its available funds and any future earnings after the Business Combination to fund the development and growth of its business. As a result, it is not expected that New Adagio will pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Following completion of the Business Combination, the Post-Combination Company Board will have complete discretion as to whether to distribute dividends. Even if the New Adagio Board decides to declare and pay dividends, the timing, amount and form of future dividends, if any, will depend on the future results of operations and cash flow, capital requirements and surplus, the amount of distributions, if any, received by New Adagio’s subsidiaries, New Adagio’s financial condition, contractual restrictions and other factors deemed relevant by the New Adagio Board. There is no guarantee that the New Adagio Common Stock will appreciate in value after the Business Combination or that the trading price of the New Adagio Common Stock will not decline.

Anti-takeover provisions in New Adagio’s governing documents could delay or prevent a change of control.

Certain provisions of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws to become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a

90

merger, acquisition, tender offer, takeover attempt or other change of control transaction that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by New Adagio’s stockholders.

These provisions provide for, among other things:

• the ability of the New Adagio Board following the Closing to issue one or more series of preferred stock with any rights, preferences or privileges as they may designate;

• advance notice for nominations of directors by stockholders and for other business brought by stockholders to be considered at any meeting of the stockholders of New Adagio;

• the restriction against cumulating any votes at any election of the directors;

• the ability of New Adagio to perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of New Adagio;

• certain limitations on convening special stockholder meetings;

• certain limitations on the ability of stockholders to act by written consent; and

• the express authority of the New Adagio Board to make, alter or repeal the Proposed Bylaws.

These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire New Adagio, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many of New Adagio’s stockholders. As a result, New Adagio’s stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing and to cause New Adagio to take other corporate actions you desire. See “Description of New Adagio Securities.”

Since the completion of ARYA’s initial public offering, there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of companies formed through mergers involving special purpose acquisition companies. Accordingly, securities of companies such as ours or the ones from New Adagio following the Business Combination may be more volatile than other securities and may involve special risks.

Since the completion of ARYA’s initial public offering, there has been a precipitous drop in the market values of companies formed through mergers involving special purpose acquisition companies like ours. Throughout 2023, inflationary pressures, increases in interest rates and other adverse economic and market forces have contributed to these drops in market value. As a result, the New Adagio securities are subject to potential downward pressures, which may result in high levels of exercise of redemptions rights, reducing the cash available from the Trust Account. If there are substantial redemptions, there will be a lower public float for the shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the Closing, which may cause further volatility in the price of New Adagio securities and adversely impact New Adagio’s ability to secure financing following the closing of the Business Combination.

Securities of companies formed through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies such as the ones from New Adagio may experience a material decline in price relative to the share price of the special purpose acquisition companies prior to the merger.

As with most special purpose acquisition companies’ initial public offerings in recent years, ARYA issued shares for $10.00 per share upon the closing of its initial public offering. As with other special purpose acquisition companies, the $10.00 per share price of ARYA reflected each share having a one-time right to redeem such share for a pro rata portion of the proceeds held in the Trust Account equal to approximately $10.00 per share prior to the closing of the Business Combination. Following Closing, the shares outstanding will no longer have any such redemption right and may be dependent upon the fundamental value of the combined company, as well as other relevant factors such as market conditions and trading multiples, and the securities of other companies formed through mergers with special purpose acquisition companies in recent years may be significantly less than $10.00 per share.

A significant portion of our total outstanding shares are restricted from immediate resale but may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of New Adagio Common Stock to drop significantly, even if New Adagio’s business is doing well.

Sales of a substantial number of New Adagio Common Stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of New Adagio Common Stock.

91

We may be required to file one or more registration statements prior to or shortly after the Closing to provide for the resale of certain restricted shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of New Adagio Common Stock could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them. For more information, also see “Shares Eligible For Future Sale And Securities Act Restrictions On Resale Of New Adagio Common Stock.”

The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.

The issuance of shares of New Adagio Common Stock in the Business Combination or securities that are convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock will significantly dilute the equity interests of ARYA’s existing shareholders (or shareholders of New Adagio after the Closing Date) and may adversely affect prevailing market prices for the Public Shares (or shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the Closing Date). The Public Shareholders who do not redeem their Public Shares may experience dilution from several additional sources to varying degrees in connection with and after the Business Combination. Additionally, New Adagio following the Closing may determine, subject to the receipt of any shareholder or stock exchange approvals that may be required, to issue more shares of New Adagio Common Stock or other equity securities of equal or senior rank in connection with public offerings or in privately negotiated transactions.

The issuance of shares of New Adagio Common Stock (or other equity securities of equal or senior rank) could have the following effects for holders of Public Shares who elect not to redeem their shares:

• your proportionate ownership interest in New Adagio following the Closing will decrease;

• the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding share of New Adagio Common Stock following the Business Combination will be diminished; or

• the market price of New Adagio Common Stock may decline.

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 20.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 17.1% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 9.0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the PIPE Investors, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and including RA Capital, will own approximately 17.8% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; and (v) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 35.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock. Assuming 100% of the holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 21.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 11.3% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the PIPE Investors, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and including RA Capital, will own approximately 22.4% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; and (v) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 44.7% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock. These percentages are based on the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table below and a redemption value of the Public Shares on the Closing Date of approximately $11.37 per share (based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 as of May 9, 2024).

As discussed above under the heading “—How do the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders intend to vote their shares?,” our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, may purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders in privately negotiated transactions or in the open market prior to or following the completion of the Business Combination. If such purchases are made, the public “float” of the Public Shares (prior to the Closing) or the New Adagio Common Stock (following the Closing) and the number of beneficial holders of ARYA Shares (prior to the Closing) or the New Adagio Common Stock (following the Closing) may be reduced, possibly making it difficult to obtain or maintain the quotation, listing or trading of such securities on the Nasdaq or another national securities exchange or reducing the liquidity of the trading market for such securities.

The below sensitivity table shows the potential impact of redemptions on the share ownership by non-redeeming shareholders in a no redemption scenario, 25% redemption scenario, 75% redemption scenario, and maximum redemption scenario. The information in the below sensitivity table has been rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest decimal. Therefore, the sum of the numbers in a column may not conform exactly to the total figure given for that column in the below sensitivity table. In addition, certain percentages presented in the below sensitivity table reflect calculations based upon the underlying information prior to rounding and, accordingly, may not conform exactly to the percentages that would be derived if the relevant calculations were based upon the rounded numbers or may not sum due to rounding. As described in the footnotes to the below tables, the number of shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date as well as the number shares issuable following the Closing Date, creating additional dilution, are based on assumptions, including the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 and the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq as of May 9, 2024. Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

Total number of Public Shares subject to redemption is net of 349,576 Public Shares that are subject to non-redemption agreements by certain Other PIPE Investors. Such deduction of 349,576 Public Shares includes 133,500 Public Shares that were purchased in the open market at an average price of $11.23 per share and 88,106 Public Shares that are assumed to be purchased at $11.35 per share in the open market (such price reflects the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq on May 9, 2024) pursuant to open market purchase commitments made by certain Other PIPE Investors for a total of $2,500,000.

Assumes that RA Capital elects to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock in respect of its entire subscription amount pursuant to its Subscription Agreement and does not elect to receive any Pre-Funded Warrants. Does not include any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any PIPE Warrants. For more information, see additional sources of dilution in the table below.

Includes, but is not limited to, (i) 690,458 Incentive Shares, (ii) 2,911,645 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued upon contribution of Bridge Financing Notes held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the Closing Date, which is assumed to be 4 months after execution of the Business Combination Agreement and (iii) 81,170 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued upon conversion of shares of Adagio held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor prior to Closing. Does not include any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon conversion of any New Adagio Convertible Notes or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants. For more information, see additional sources of dilution in the table below.

(10)
Assumes all PIPE Warrants are exercised for shares on a one for one basis and are not cashless exercised. 3,728,470 shares of New Adagio Common Stock would be issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 3,728,470 PIPE Warrants to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in the PIPE Financing. Such number of shares to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 3,728,470 PIPE Warrants it holds would represent 12.4%, 12.8%, 14.4% and 15.0% of the shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date pursuant to the table above in the no redemption, 25% redemption, 75% redemption and 100% redemption scenario, respectively. Assumes that RA Capital elects to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock in respect of its entire subscription amount pursuant to its Subscription Agreement and does not elect to receive any Pre-Funded Warrants.

(11)
Assumes the New Adagio Convertible Notes are converted into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share. 1,250,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock would be issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the up to $12,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in the Convertible Security Financing, assuming that no Additional Financing is raised prior to the Closing Date. Such number of shares to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the $12,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes it is expected to hold would represent 4.3%, 4.8% and 5.0% of the shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date pursuant to the table above in the no redemption, 25% redemption, 75% redemption and 100% redemption scenario, respectively. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

(12)
Assumes all Convert Warrants are exercised for shares on a one for one basis at $24.00 per share and are not cashless exercised. 937,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock would be issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 937,500 Convert Warrants to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in the Convertible Security Financing (assuming no Additional Financing is raised between signing of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and the Closing Date). Such number of shares to be issued to the

94

Perceptive PIPE Investor based on the 937,500 Convert Warrants it holds would represent 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.6% and 3.8% of the shares assumed to be issued and outstanding on the Closing Date pursuant to the table above in the no redemption, 25% redemption, 75% redemption and 100% redemption scenario, respectively. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the 75% and maximum redemption scenarios. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

You may experience additional dilution if the Jefferies Fees are paid in shares and not in cash. For more information on the payment of the Jefferies Fees in shares of New Adagio Common Stock, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions.”

Also see “Shares Eligible For Future Sale And Securities Act Restrictions On Resale Of New Adagio Common Stock” for more information on impact on public float of contractual lock-ups and other restrictions on transfers and shares eligible for sale following the closing of the Business Combination.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and its affiliates, including the Sponsor, will beneficially own a significant equity interest in New Adagio and may take actions that conflict with the interests of the Public Shareholders or stockholders of New Adagio. The interests of the Sponsor may not align with the interests of the Public Shareholders or stockholders of New Adagio in the future (see “Questions and Answers for shareholders of ARYA—What interests do the initial shareholders have in the Business Combination”). The Sponsor and its affiliates are in the business of making investments in companies and may acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with New Adagio. The Sponsor and its affiliates may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to New Adagio’s business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to New Adagio. In addition, the Sponsor may have an interest in New Adagio pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, and other transactions that, in its judgment, could enhance its investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to New Adagio and its stockholders.

New Adagio will not receive a significant amount of additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants; and any exercise of PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants would increase the number of shares eligible for future resale in the public market and may result in substantial dilution to New Adagio’s stockholders.

In connection with the Closing, New Adagio will issue Pre-Funded Warrants to certain PIPE Investors. Each Pre-Funded Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at a price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. Accordingly, New Adagio will not receive a significant amount of additional funds upon the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants. To the extent such Pre-Funded Warrants (or other warrants of New Adagio, such as Base Warrants or Convert Warrants) are exercised, additional shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued. In the case of the Pre-Funded Warrants, the additional consideration to be received by New Adagio will be nominal, which will result in substantial dilution to the then existing holders of New Adagio Common Stock and will increase the number of shares eligible for resale in the public market. Sales of substantial numbers of such shares in the public market could adversely affect the market price of the New Adagio Common Stock, causing New Adagio’s stock price to decline. For more information sources of dilution, including as a result of exercise of PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.”

There is no public market for the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants expected to be issued in connection with the PIPE Financing or the Convertible Security Financing.

There is no public trading market for the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants expected to be issued in a private placement in connection with the PIPE Financing or the Convertible Security Financing, and we do not expect a market to develop. In addition, New Adagio does not intend to apply to list the PIPE Warrants or the Convert Warrants on any securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system. Without an active market, the liquidity of the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants will be limited.

Holders of the PIPE Warrants purchased in the PIPE Financing or Convert Warrants purchased in the Convertible Security Financing will have no rights as common stockholders until such holders acquire shares of New Adagio Common Stock.

Until holders of the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants acquire shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants, holders of the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants will have no rights with respect to the shares of New Adagio Common Stock underlying such PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants. Upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants, the holders will be entitled to exercise the rights of a common stockholder only as to matters for which the record date occurs after the exercise date.

Significant holders or beneficial holders of New Adagio Common Stock may not be permitted to exercise certain Base Warrants, Pre-Funded Warrants or Convert Warrants that they hold.

A holder of a Pre-Funded Warrant or Convert Warrant will not be entitled to exercise any portion of such warrants which, upon giving effect to such exercise, would cause a holder together with the other Attribution Parties (as defined in the Pre-Funded Warrants, Convert Warrants or Base Warrants) collectively would beneficially own in excess of (i) 9.99% of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise in the case of the Base Warrants and the Pre-Funded Warrant, and (ii) 4.99% of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise in the case of the Convert Warrants. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned by a holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by such holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the respective warrants with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of New Adagio Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of the applicable warrant beneficially owned by a holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of New Adagio beneficially owned by a holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation described in the foregoing.

We are an emerging growth company and a smaller reporting company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to “emerging growth companies” or “smaller reporting companies,” this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

We are an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. As a result, our shareholders may not have access to certain information they may deem important. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our Class A ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31. We cannot predict whether investors will find our securities less attractive because we will rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result of our reliance on these exemptions, the trading prices of our securities may be lower than they otherwise would be, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the trading prices of our securities may be more volatile.

96

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such an election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30. To the extent we take advantage of such reduced disclosure obligations, it may also make comparison of our financial statements with other public companies difficult or impossible.

On the Closing Date, the trading price per share value of New Adagio Common Stock may be less than the per share value of the Trust Account.

Although the parties to the Business Combination have agreed the relative consideration to be provided to Adagio stockholders and ARYA shareholders on the basis that New Adagio Common Stock is valued at $10.00 per share, the cash backed value per share of New Adagio Common Stock following the Business Combination is expected to be substantially less than $10.00 per share. See “Questions and Answers About for shareholders of ARYA.” The cash held in the Trust Account as of May 9, 2024 was approximately $11.37 per Public Share. Accordingly, Public Shareholders who do not exercise redemption rights will receive New Adagio Common Stock that will have a value to them ascribed by their trading price as of two business days prior to the General Meeting, which may be substantially less than the amount they would have received upon exercise of redemption rights. In particular, the shares of most companies that are the result of a recently completed business combinations between a special purpose acquisition company and an operating company have traded at prices substantially below $10.00 per share. As such, Public Shareholders who do not exercise redemptions right may hold securities that never obtain a value equal to or exceeding the per share value of the Trust Account.

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may make it more difficult for us to effectuate the Business Combination, require substantial financial and management resources and increase the time and costs of completing a business combination.

The fact that we are a blank check company makes compliance with the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act particularly burdensome on us as compared to other public companies. Adagio is not a publicly reporting company required to comply with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and New Adagio management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable to New Adagio after the Business Combination. If we are not able to implement the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, including any additional requirements once we are no longer an emerging growth company, in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, we may not be able to assess whether its internal control over financial reporting are effective, which may subject us to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of New Adagio Common Stock. Additionally, once we are no longer an emerging growth company, we will be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting.

97

The Business Combination will result in changes to the composition of the board of directors of Adagio, which may affect the strategy of New Adagio.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the composition of the New Adagio Board will change from the current boards of directors of ARYA and Adagio. This new composition of the New Adagio Board may affect New Adagio’s business strategy and operating decisions upon the completion of the Business Combination.

Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions.

ARYA is listed on Nasdaq. On January 29, 2024, ARYA received a notice from the staff of the Listing Qualifications Department (the “Listing Department”) of Nasdaq, stating that ARYA failed to hold an annual meeting of shareholders within twelve months of the end of its fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, as required by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a). Additionally, ARYA also received a notice from the staff of the Listing Department of Nasdaq indicating that, unless ARYA timely requests a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”), trading of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market would be suspended due to ARYA’s non-compliance with Nasdaq IM-5101-2, which requires that a special purpose acquisition company complete one or more business combinations within 36 months of the effectiveness of its initial public offering registration statement. ARYA timely requested a hearing before the Panel to request sufficient time to complete the Business Combination. Such hearing request resulted in a stay of the suspension or delisting action. Subsequently, on March 26, 2024, ARYA received an additional and separate notice from the staff of the Listing Department of Nasdaq formally notifying ARYA that the deficiency under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5620(a) serves as an additional and separate basis for delisting. The Panel considered both matters at the hearing on April 25, 2024. On May 13, 2024, the Panel issued written notice of its decision to grant ARYA's request for an exception to its listing deficiencies until August 23, 2024 in light of the progress ARYA has made toward closing the Business Combination. The Panel advised ARYA that August 23, 2024 represents the full extent of the Panel's discretion to grant continued listing while ARYA is non-compliant with the Nasdaq's Listing Rules. There can be no assurance that ARYA will be able to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements and maintain compliance with other Nasdaq listing requirements prior to or following the consummation of a business combination.

Further, an active trading market for New Adagio’s securities following the Business Combination may never develop or, if developed, it may not be sustained. In connection with the Business Combination, in order to continue to maintain the listing of our securities on Nasdaq, we will be required to demonstrate compliance with Nasdaq’s listing requirements. We will apply to have New Adagio’s securities listed on Nasdaq upon consummation of the Business Combination. We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet all listing requirements of Nasdaq. Even if New Adagio’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, New Adagio may be unable to maintain the listing of its securities in the future.

If Nasdaq delists ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from trading on its exchange and ARYA is not able to list such securities on another approved national securities exchange, ARYA expects that such securities could be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, ARYA could face significant material adverse consequences, including: (i) a limited availability of market quotations for ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares; (ii) reduced liquidity for ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares; (iii) a determination that ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares are “penny stocks” which will require brokers trading in ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares to adhere to more stringent rules, including being subject to the depository requirements of Rule 419 of the Securities Act, and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares; (iv) a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and (v) a less attractive acquisition vehicle to a target business in connection with an initial business combination.

Each U.S. stock exchange requires issuers applying for initial listing on such exchange to comply with certain initial listing criteria. New Adagio intends to apply for listing on Nasdaq. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Global Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5405 and depending on which listing standard with which New Adagio elects to comply, New Adagio expects to be required to have at least 1.1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $20 million and 400 unrestricted round lot stockholders. In order to qualify for initial listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, pursuant to Nasdaq Rule IM-5505 and depending on which listing standard with which New Adagio elects to comply, New Adagio expects to be required to have at least 1 million unrestricted publicly held shares, a market value of unrestricted publicly held shares of at least $5 million and 300 unrestricted round lot stockholders. Irrespective of redemption levels in connection with the Business Combination, ARYA and Adagio expect

98

that New Adagio will comply with applicable initial listing rules of Nasdaq by issuing at Closing a sufficient number of shares of unrestricted New Adagio Common Stock to (i) existing Adagio stockholders that will not be directors, officers and/or 10% or larger stockholders of New Adagio, and (ii) PIPE Investors that have agreed to purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and/or not redeem Class A ordinary shares they hold or purchased prior to Closing. See the section entitled “Proposal 4: Adjournment Proposal” for additional information.

Even if New Adagio’s securities are listed on Nasdaq, Nasdaq may take steps to de-list the New Adagio Common Stock. If New Adagio fails to meet the listing requirements and Nasdaq does not list its securities on its exchange, Adagio would not be required to consummate the Business Combination. In the event that Adagio elected to waive this condition, and the Business Combination was consummated without New Adagio’s securities being listed on Nasdaq or on another national securities exchange, New Adagio could face significant material adverse consequences, including, but not limited to:

• a limited availability of market quotations for New Adagio’s securities;

• reduced liquidity for New Adagio’s securities;

• a determination that New Adagio Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in New Adagio Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for New Adagio’s securities;

• a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

• a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

The National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, which is a federal statute, prevents or preempts the states from regulating the sale of certain securities, which are referred to as “covered securities.” If New Adagio’s securities were not listed on Nasdaq, such securities would not qualify as covered securities and we would be subject to regulation in each state in which we offer our securities because states are not preempted from regulating the sale of securities that are not covered securities.

We are subject to, and New Adagio will be subject to, changing law and regulations regarding regulatory matters, corporate governance and public disclosure that have increased both ARYA’s costs and the risk of noncompliance and will increase both New Adagio’s costs and the risk of non-compliance.

We are, and New Adagio will be, subject to rules and regulations by various governing bodies, including, for example, the SEC, which are charged with the protection of investors and the oversight of companies whose securities are publicly traded, and to new and evolving regulatory measures under applicable law. Our efforts to comply with new and changing laws and regulations have resulted in, and New Adagio’s efforts to comply likely will result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from seeking a business combination target.

Moreover, because these laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations, their application in practice may evolve over time as new guidance becomes available. This evolution may result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and additional costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to New Adagio’s disclosure and governance practices. If we fail to address and comply with these regulations and any subsequent changes, we may be subject to penalty and our business may be harmed.

Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, as well as the failure of research analysts to publish reports on us, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our shares.

Securities research analysts may establish and publish their own periodic projections for New Adagio following consummation of the Business Combination. These projections may vary widely and may not accurately predict the results we actually achieve. Our share price may decline if our actual results do not match the projections of these securities research analysts. Similarly, if one or more of the analysts who write reports on us downgrades our stock or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price could decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, our share price or trading volume could decline. If no analysts commence coverage of us, the market price and volume for New Adagio Common Stock could be adversely affected.

99

We may become involved in litigation, including securities class action litigation relating to the proposed Business Combination that may materially adversely affect us.

From time to time, we may become involved in various legal proceedings relating to matters incidental to the ordinary course of our business, including intellectual property, commercial, product liability, employment, class action, whistleblower and other litigation and claims, and governmental and other regulatory investigations and proceedings. Such matters can be time-consuming, divert management’s attention and resources, cause us to incur significant expenses or liability, or require us to change our business practices. Because of the potential risks, expenses and uncertainties of litigation, we may, from time to time, settle disputes, even where we believe that we have meritorious claims or defenses. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable, we cannot assure you that the results of any of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on our business.

Following the Business Combination, the share price of New Adagio Common Stock may be volatile and, in the past, companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities litigation, including class action litigation. Adagio may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Litigation of this type could result in substantial costs and diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could have a material adverse effect on New Adagio’s business, financial condition, and results of operations. Any adverse determination in litigation could also subject New Adagio to significant liabilities.

Cyber incidents or attacks directed at us could result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

We depend on digital technologies, including information systems, infrastructure and cloud applications and services, including those of third parties with which we may deal. Sophisticated and deliberate attacks on, or security breaches in, our systems or infrastructure, or the systems or infrastructure of third parties or the cloud, could lead to corruption or misappropriation of our assets, proprietary information and sensitive or confidential data. As an early stage company without significant investments in data security protection, we may not be sufficiently protected against such occurrences. We may not have sufficient resources to adequately protect against, or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to, cyber incidents. It is possible that any of these occurrences, or a combination of them, could have adverse consequences on our business and lead to financial loss.

The waiver of deferred underwriting commission by GS despite performing all of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement may indicate that it may be unwilling to be associated with the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus.

In July 2022, GS, one of the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering, reached out to ARYA’s management in order to notify ARYA that GS would be unable to serve as an advisor to ARYA in connection with an initial business combination. At that time, ARYA requested that GS, and GS agreed to, waive its entitlement to its respective portion of the deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement that ARYA, Jefferies and GS executed in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering. On August 8, 2022, ARYA executed a formal waiver with GS pursuant to which GS waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions, which were payable upon completion of an initial business combination and deposited into the trust account established in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering. In connection with the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS also agreed that (i) the Deferred Fee Waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at the discretion of ARYA, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial business combination. As a result of the Deferred Fee Waiver, the deferred underwriting commissions payable by ARYA upon the consummation of an initial business combination, including the proposed Business Combination with Adagio, will be reduced to $2,616,250, which will be due only to Jefferies. This amount does not include other transaction fees payable by ARYA or Adagio to Jefferies in connection with the Business Combination, PIPE Financing and Convertible Security Financing. For more information, also see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions.”

Other than the notification in July 2022, according to which GS would be unable to continue to serve as an advisor to ARYA, and the subsequent execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver on August 8, 2022, GS and ARYA did not discuss the reasons for GS’s forfeiture of fees. GS did not communicate to ARYA, and ARYA does not otherwise believe, that the Deferred Fee Waiver was the result of any dispute or disagreement with ARYA, including any disagreement relating to the disclosure in this proxy statement/prospectus, the scope of its engagements under the

100

Underwriting Agreement or its ability to complete such engagements or any matter relating to ARYA’s or Adagio’s operations, prospects, policies, procedures or practices. The services to be provided by GS pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement related to ARYA’s initial public offering were complete at the time of the Deferred Fee Waiver and GS is therefore gratuitously waiving its right to be compensated in connection with a business combination.

After the closing of ARYA's initial public offering and prior to the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS was involved in advising the ARYA Board in connection with the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets and in providing certain financial and merger-related advisory services to ARYA, including in connection with the proposed business combination with Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. that was terminated on February 23, 2022 (for more information see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Background of the Business Combination”). However, following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver, GS ceased to provide any advisory services to ARYA and ceased to advise ARYA on the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets. GS did not advise ARYA in any capacity on the proposed Business Combination with Adagio. Further, ARYA did not rely on any work performed by GS to identify or evaluate potential business combination targets when ARYA resumed its search for potential business combinations after GS ceased to advise ARYA following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver. Neither Adagio nor the other potential business combination targets that ARYA considered following the execution of the Deferred Fee Waiver were among the potential business combination targets sourced, identified or recommended by GS while GS was advising ARYA. GS did not, and was not engaged to, perform any work for the boards of directors of ARYA or Adagio that is related to the Business Combination and GS was also not involved in the preparation of any disclosure, or analysis underlying disclosure, included in this proxy statement/prospectus. GS therefore claims no role in the Business Combination with Adagio and, by extension, has also not reached out to ARYA to affirmatively disclaim any responsibility for any of the disclosures in this prospectus.

Despite GS not providing any details as to the reasons for the Deferred Fee Waiver when it approached ARYA in 2022, shareholders should be aware that such Deferred Fee Waiver may indicate that GS does not want to be associated with the disclosures in this proxy statement/prospectus or any underlying business analysis related to the transactions described herein. The Deferred Fee Waiver, including the waivers of fees for services that had already been rendered, is unusual and some investors may find the proposed Business Combination with Adagio less attractive as a result of GS not having been involved in the preparation and review of this proxy statement/prospectus. ARYA’s investors will not have the benefit of GS’s independent review and investigation of the disclosures provided in this proxy statement/prospectus. We note that unaffiliated investors are subject to certain material risks as a result of Adagio going public through a merger rather than through an underwritten initial public offering. For more information also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The process of taking a company public by means of a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company is different from taking a company public through an underwritten offering and may create risks for our unaffiliated investors.” Further, although GS waived its entitlement to any deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, certain provisions of the Underwriting Agreement were not waived by the GS. In particular, GS did not waive its rights to indemnification under the Underwriting Agreement for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, arising out of or based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the filings and communications related to ARYA’s initial public offering or arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As a result, if any claims, litigation, disputes or other legal proceedings are brought by third parties against GS in relation to its services provided under the Underwriting Agreement, then ARYA (and New Adagio upon consummation of the Business Combination) may be liable to pay for or reimburse GS for such losses and costs it incurs, subject to the limitations set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. In addition, the Underwriting Agreement contains a contribution provision in the event that the indemnity obligations are unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party; however, GS shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the offered securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such underwriter has otherwise been required to pay. Therefore, there can be no assurance that ARYA (or New Adagio following the Business Combination) would have sufficient funds to satisfy such indemnification claims.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ARYA executed the Deferred Fee Waiver because it believes that such waiver will be beneficial and would reduce the amount of transaction expenses payable in connection with the consummation of an initial business combination by $2,616,250. The ARYA Board did not consider the potential impact of the

101

Deferred Fee Waiver in its assessment of the Business Combination with Adagio, given (a) the timing of the execution of Deferred Fee Waiver in relation to the timing of the negotiations of a business combination agreement with Adagio, (b) that no separate engagement letter was entered into with GS and GS’s obligations therefore being limited in scope solely to the services contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and its completed services in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering, and (c) that GS did not participate in or provide (and was not required to participate in or provide) advisory services in connection with the identification or evaluation of potential business combination targets, an initial business combination, or the proposed transaction with Adagio.

Therefore, given GS’s lack of involvement in the Business Combination with Adagio and given the fact that ARYA has not provided a copy of the proxy statement/prospectus to GS for review and GS has not provided any response or feedback regarding the disclosure included herein, investors should not rely on the expertise of GS when making an investment decision in connection with the Business Combination and no inference should be drawn on whether GS agrees with the disclosures included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the disclosure regarding the Deferred Fee Waiver.

For more information regarding the Deferred Fee Waiver, see the section titled “Questions and Answers for Shareholders of ARYA—What are the potential impacts on the Business Combination resulting from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC’s waiver of its deferred underwriting commission?” or “Summary—Deferred Fee Waiver.”

The fairness opinion obtained by the ARYA Board will not reflect changes, circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the opinion.

Scalar has provided a fairness opinion to the ARYA Board stating that, as of the date of such opinion, and based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing such opinion, the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Parties), without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular holder of Class A ordinary shares other than in its capacity as a holder of Class A ordinary shares.

The ARYA Board has not obtained an updated fairness opinion as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus from Scalar, and the ARYA Board does not expect to receive an updated fairness opinion prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

The opinion does not reflect changes, circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the opinion, including changes in the operations and prospects of ARYA or Adagio, regulatory or legal changes, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of ARYA and Adagio and on which the fairness opinion was based, and that may alter the value of ARYA and Adagio or the prices of the Class A ordinary shares or the Adagio Shares prior to consummation of the Business Combination. The value of the Class A ordinary shares and Adagio Shares has fluctuated since, and could be materially different from its value as of, the date of Scalar’s opinion, and Scalar’s opinion does not address the prices at which the shares of New Adagio Common Stock, Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to ARYA may trade. The opinion does not speak as of the time the Business Combination will be completed or as of any date other than the date of such opinion. ARYA does not anticipate asking Scalar to update Scalar’s opinion, and Scalar does not have an obligation or responsibility to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion based on circumstances, developments or events that may have occurred or may occur after the date of the opinion. The written opinion of Scalar is attached as Annex X to this proxy statement/prospectus and is incorporated by reference herein.

There may be tax consequences to the ARYA Merger that adversely affect Public Shareholders.

Subject to the PFIC rules and the limitations and qualifications described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations,” the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Adagio Common Stock pursuant to the ARYA Merger should (when taken together with the related transactions of the Business Combination) qualify as a Section 351 Exchange.

In addition, the ARYA Merger might independently qualify as a Reorganization. Under Section 368(a) of the Code, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements to qualify as a Reorganization, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation (or, in the case of certain reorganizations structured like the ARYA Merger, New Adagio)

102

must continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business. Due to the absence of guidance as to how the provisions of Section 368(a) of the Code apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with only investment-type assets, such as ARYA, there is no assurance that the ARYA Merger will also qualify as a Reorganization. Moreover, the qualification of the ARYA Merger as a Reorganization is based on facts which will not be known until at or after the Closing, including certain requirements that could depend on the amount of cash used to redeem Public Shares prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a result, no opinion is being provided as to whether the ARYA Merger constitutes a Reorganization.

The Closing is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization, and neither ARYA nor ListCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the ARYA Merger. The IRS may disagree with the descriptions of U.S. federal income tax consequences contained herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Any such determination could subject Public Shareholders to U.S. federal income tax consequences that would be different than those described herein. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the ARYA Merger should qualify as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization.

Even if the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange or is a Reorganization, proposed Treasury Regulations promulgated under Section 1291(f) of the Code and certain other PFIC rules (which have retroactive effective dates) generally require that a U.S. person who disposes of stock of a PFIC must recognize gain equal to the excess of the fair market value of such PFIC stock over its adjusted tax basis, notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. ARYA believes that it is likely classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, these proposed Treasury Regulations, if finalized in their current form, would generally require a U.S. holder of Public Shares to recognize gain under the PFIC rules on the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Adagio Common Stock unless such U.S. holder has made certain tax elections with respect to its Public Shares. Any gain recognized from the application of the PFIC rules described above would be taxable income with no corresponding receipt of cash. The tax on any such gain would be imposed at the rate applicable to ordinary income, and an interest charge would apply based on complex rules designed to offset the tax deferral to such U.S. holder on the undistributed earnings, if any, of ARYA. At this time, it is not possible to determine whether, in what form and with what effective date final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

For a more complete discussion of the potential application of the PFIC rules to U.S. holders as a result of the ARYA Merger, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations—Tax Consequences of the ARYA Merger and Exercising Redemption Rights—Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders.” Public Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors for the tax consequences of the ARYA Merger to their particular situation. For a more detailed description of the U.S. federal income tax consequences associated with the ARYA Merger, please see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Risks Related to Redemptions

Throughout this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “ARYA,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV prior to the Business Combination and to New Adagio and its subsidiaries following the Closing.

Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account must comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline. If shareholders fail to comply with the redemption requirements specified in this proxy statement/prospectus, they will not be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account.

A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if such Public Shareholder: (i) holds Public Shares; (ii) submits a written request to the Transfer Agent in which it (a) requests that New Adagio redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash, and (b) identifies itself as a beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provides its legal name, phone number and address; and (iii) delivers its Public Shares to the Transfer Agent physically or electronically through DTC. Holders must complete the procedures for electing to redeem their Public Shares in the manner described above prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) in order for their shares to be redeemed.

103

In order to obtain a physical share certificate, a shareholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and the Transfer Agent will need to act to facilitate this request. It is ARYA’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the transfer agent. However, because ARYA does not have any control over this process or over DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. If it takes longer than anticipated to obtain a physical certificate, Public Shareholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares may be unable to obtain physical certificates by the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their shares.

If the Business Combination is consummated, and if a Public Shareholder properly exercises its right to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares that it holds and timely delivers its shares to the Transfer Agent, New Adagio will redeem such Public Shares for a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the pro rata portion of the Trust Account established at the consummation of our initial public offering, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Please see the section entitled “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

If a Public Shareholder fails to receive notice of ARYA’s offer to redeem Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination, or fails to comply with the procedures for tendering its shares, such shares may not be redeemed.

If, despite ARYA’s compliance with the proxy rules, a Public Shareholder fails to receive ARYA’s proxy materials, such Public Shareholder may not become aware of the opportunity to redeem his, her or its Public Shares. In addition, the proxy materials that ARYA is furnishing to holders of Public Shares in connection with the Business Combination describes the various procedures that must be complied with in order to validly redeem the Public Shares. In the event that a Public Shareholder fails to comply with these procedures, its Public Shares may not be redeemed. Please see the section entitled “Annual General Meeting of ARYA Shareholders—Redemption Rights” for additional information on how to exercise your redemption rights.

ARYA does not have a specified maximum redemption threshold. The absence of such a redemption threshold may make it possible for us to complete the Business Combination even if a substantial majority of ARYA’s shareholders do not support it.

The Business Combination may impose a minimum cash requirement for (i) cash consideration to be paid to the target or its owners, (ii) cash for working capital or other general corporate purposes or (iii) the retention of cash to satisfy other conditions. As a result, ARYA may be able to complete the Business Combination even though a substantial portion of Public Shareholders do not agree with the transaction and have redeemed their shares or have entered into privately negotiated agreements to sell their shares to Sponsor, directors or officers or their affiliates. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, no agreements with respect to the private purchase of Public Shares by ARYA or the persons described above have been entered into with any such investor or holder. ARYA will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons. For more information, also see “—The Sponsor, as well as Adagio, and their respective directors, officers, advisors and their affiliates may elect to purchase Public Shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which may influence the vote on the Business Combination and reduce the public “float” of our Class A ordinary shares.”

If you or a “group” of shareholders of which you are a part are deemed to hold an aggregate of more than 15% of the Public Shares, you (or, if a member of such a group, all of the members of such group in the aggregate) will lose the ability to redeem all such shares in excess of 15% of the Public Shares.

A Public Shareholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Exchange Act), will be restricted from redeeming in the aggregate his, her or its shares or, if part of such a group, the group’s shares, in excess of 15% of the Public Shares. In order to determine whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder, ARYA will require each Public Shareholder seeking to exercise redemption rights to certify to ARYA whether such shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with any other shareholder. Such certifications, together with other public information relating to stock ownership available to ARYA at that time, such as Section 13D, Section 13G and Section 16 filings under the Exchange Act, will be the sole basis on which ARYA makes the above-referenced

104

determination. Your inability to redeem any such excess shares will reduce your influence over ARYA’s ability to consummate the Business Combination and you could suffer a material loss on your investment in ARYA if you sell such excess shares in open market transactions. Additionally, you will not receive redemption distributions with respect to such excess shares if ARYA consummates the Business Combination. As a result, you will continue to hold that number of shares aggregating to more than 15% of the Public Shares and, in order to dispose of such excess shares, would be required to sell your stock in open market transactions, potentially at a loss. ARYA cannot assure you that the value of such excess shares will appreciate over time following the Business Combination or that the market price of the Public Shares will exceed the per-share redemption price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shareholders may challenge ARYA’s determination as to whether a shareholder is acting in concert or as a group with another shareholder in a court of competent jurisdiction.

However, ARYA’s shareholders’ ability to vote all of their shares (including such excess shares) for or against the Business Combination is not restricted by this limitation on redemption.

There is no guarantee that a shareholder’s decision whether to redeem its shares for a pro rata portion of the Trust Account will put the shareholder in a better future economic position.

ARYA can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its Public Shares in the future following the completion of the Business Combination or any alternative business combination. Certain events following the consummation of any initial business combination, including the Business Combination, may cause an increase in ARYA share price, and may result in a lower value realized now than a shareholder of ARYA might realize in the future had the shareholder not redeemed its shares. Similarly, if a shareholder does not redeem its shares, the shareholder will bear the risk of ownership of the Public Shares after the consummation of any initial business combination, and there can be no assurance that a shareholder can sell its shares in the future for a greater amount than the redemption price set forth in this proxy statement/prospectus. A shareholder should consult the shareholder’s own financial advisor for assistance on how this may affect his, her or its individual situation.

Risks if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

Throughout this section, unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references to “ARYA,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to Arya Sciences Acquisition Corp IV prior to the Business Combination and to New Adagio and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Closing.

If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to authorize the consummation of the Business Combination and the Merger, the ARYA Board will not have the ability to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.

The ARYA Board is seeking approval to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the General Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve each of the Condition Precedent Proposals. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the ARYA Board will not have the ability to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals. In such events, the Business Combination would not be completed.

The ARYA Board believes that the Business Combination Proposal and the other proposals to be presented at the General Meeting are in the best interest of ARYA and its shareholders and recommends that its shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the General Meeting.

106

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

Voting Power; Record Date; Outstanding Shares; Shareholders Entitled to Vote

ARYA shareholders will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the General Meeting if they owned ARYA Shares at the close of business on [•], 2024, which is the Record Date for the General Meeting. Shareholders will have one vote for each ARYA Share owned at the close of business on the record date. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 7,536,516 ARYA Shares issued and outstanding, of which 3,799,016 were Class A ordinary shares and 3,737,500 were Class B ordinary shares.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Sponsor, the members of the ARYA Board and the executive officers of ARYA have agreed to, among other things, vote all of their ARYA Shares in favor of the proposals being presented at the General Meeting. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the initial shareholders own approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement” in this proxy statement/prospectus for more information related to the Sponsor Letter Agreement.

Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares.

Quorum and Required Vote for Proposals for the General Meeting

A quorum of ARYA shareholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the General Meeting if one or more shareholders who together hold not less than a majority of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares entitled to vote at the General Meeting are represented in person or by proxy (or if a corporation or other non-natural person by duly authorized representative or proxy) at the General Meeting. As of the Record Date, 3,768,259 ARYA Shares would be required to achieve a quorum. As of the Record Date, the initial shareholders owned of record an aggregate of 4,236,500 ARYA Shares, representing approximately 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares. Therefore, no additional Public Shares are required to establish a quorum.

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting.

The approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors and our initial shareholders hold all issued and outstanding Class B ordinary shares.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

Each of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposal. The Director Election Proposal and Adjournment Proposal

107

are not conditioned on any other proposal. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the approval of each of the Business Combination Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal would not require the affirmative vote of any Public Shareholder in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders. Assuming that all shareholders who are entitled to do so attend the General Meeting and vote, the affirmative vote of 787,845 of the Public Shares, in addition to the affirmative vote of the initial shareholders, would be required to approve the ARYA Merger Proposal.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Proxies that are marked “abstain” and proxies relating to “street name” shares that are returned to ARYA but marked by brokers as “not voted” will be treated as ARYA Shares present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum on all matters. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on a particular proposal. If a shareholder does not give the broker voting instructions, under applicable self-regulatory organization rules, its broker may not vote its shares on “non-routine” proposals, such as the Business Combination Proposal or any of the other Condition Precedent Proposals.

Voting Your Shares

Each ARYA Share that you own in your name entitles you to one vote. Your proxy card shows the number of ARYA Shares that you own. If your shares are held in “street name” or are in a margin or similar account, you should contact your broker to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted.

There are three ways to vote your ARYA Shares at the General Meeting:

• You can vote by signing and returning the enclosed proxy card. If you vote by proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign, date and return the proxy card without indicating how you wish to vote, your shares will be voted as recommended by the ARYA Board “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the ARYA Merger Proposal, “FOR” the Director Election Proposal (in the case of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares) and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, in each case, if presented at the General Meeting. Your proxy card must be received by ARYA not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote. Proxy cards received after this time will not be counted.

• You can attend the General Meeting and vote in person. You will receive a ballot when you arrive. However, if your ARYA Shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a valid legal proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way ARYA can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your ARYA Shares.

• You can vote electronically. You may attend, vote and examine the list of shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting by visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/[•] and entering the control number found on your proxy card.

Revoking Your Proxy; Changing Your Vote

If you are a record owner of your shares and you give a proxy, you may change or revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

• You may send another proxy card with a later date provided that it is received by ARYA not less than 48 hours before the scheduled time of the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof at which the person named in the proxy card proposes to vote;

• You may notify ARYA’s Secretary by writing to ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, 51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10003, before the General Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

• You may attend the General Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote in person, as indicated above.

Who Can Answer Your Questions About Voting Your Shares

If you are an ARYA shareholder and have any questions about how to vote or direct a vote in respect of your ARYA Shares, you may call Morrow Sodali, our proxy solicitor, by calling (800) 662-5200 (toll-free), or banks and brokers can call (203) 658-9400, or by emailing ARYD.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.

108

Redemption Rights

Pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents, a Public Shareholder may request that ARYA redeem all or a portion of its Public Shares for cash if the Business Combination is consummated. If the Business Combination is approved, ARYA will cause any Public Shares that have been validly tendered or delivered for redemption on the Closing Date, to be redeemed prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a holder of Public Shares, you will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:

(i)
hold Public Shares; and

(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting), (a) submit a written request to the Transfer Agent in which you (i) request that ARYA redeem all or a portion of your Public Shares for cash, and (ii) identify yourself as the beneficial holder of the Public Shares and provide your legal name, phone number and address; and (b) deliver your Public Shares to the Transfer Agent, physically or electronically through DTC.

The redemption rights include the requirement that a holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Public Shareholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed by ARYA, regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination Proposal or any other proposal and whether they held ARYA Shares as of the Record Date or acquired them after the Record Date. Any Public Shareholder who holds ARYA Shares on or before [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 on May 9, 2024, the estimated per share redemption price is expected to be approximately $11.37. A Public Shareholder who has properly tendered or delivered his, her or its Public Shares for redemption will be entitled to receive his, her or its pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account in cash for such shares only if the Business Combination is completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, the redemptions will be canceled and the tendered shares will be returned to the relevant Public Shareholders as appropriate. If a Public Shareholder exercises its redemption rights in full, then it will be electing to exchange its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own any shares.

Public Shareholders who seek to redeem their Public Shares must demand redemption no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2024 (two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting) by (a) submitting a written request to the Transfer Agent that ARYA redeem such holder’s Public Shares for cash, (b) affirmatively certifying in such request to the Transfer Agent for redemption if such holder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) with any other shareholder with respect to ARYA Shares and (c) tendering or delivering their ARYA Shares, either physically or electronically through the DWAC system, at the holder’s option, to the Transfer Agent prior to the General Meeting. If you hold the shares in street name, you will have to coordinate with your broker to have your shares certificated or delivered electronically. Certificates that have not been tendered or delivered to the Transfer Agent (either physically or electronically) in accordance with these procedures will not be redeemed for cash. There is a nominal cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge the tendering broker a nominal fee and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by ARYA.

Any request for redemption, once made by a holder of Public Shares, may not be withdrawn following the Redemption Deadline unless the ARYA Board determines (in its sole discretion) to permit the withdrawal of such redemption request (which it may do in whole or in part). Furthermore, if a Public Shareholder demands redemption of such shares and subsequently decides prior to the Redemption Deadline not to elect to exercise such rights, he or she may simply request that the Transfer Agent return the shares (physically or electronically).

109

Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by ARYA’s Secretary two business days prior to the vote taken on the Business Combination Proposal at the General Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the Public Shareholder’s share certificates (if any) and other redemption forms have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to the Transfer Agent at least two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote at the General Meeting.

Public Shareholders seeking to exercise their redemption rights and opting to deliver physical certificates (if any) and other redemption forms should allow sufficient time to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent and time to effect delivery. It is ARYA’s understanding that shareholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from the Transfer Agent. However, ARYA does not have any control over this process and it may take longer than two weeks. Shareholders who hold their shares in “street name” will have to coordinate with their banks, brokers or other nominees to have the shares certificated or delivered electronically. There is a cost associated with this tendering process and the act of certificating the shares or delivering them through the DWAC system. The Transfer Agent will typically charge a nominal fee to the tendering broker and it would be up to the broker whether or not to pass this cost on to the redeeming shareholder. In the event the Business Combination is not completed, this may result in an additional cost to shareholders for the return of their shares.

A Public Shareholder will be entitled to receive cash for these shares only if the shareholder properly demands redemption as described above and the Business Combination is completed. If a Public Shareholder properly seeks redemption and the Business Combination is completed, ARYA will redeem these shares for cash and the holder will no longer own these shares following the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is not completed for any reason, then the Public Shareholders who exercised their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive cash for their shares. In such case, ARYA will promptly return any shares delivered by the Public Shareholders. The closing price of the Public Shares on May 9, 2024 was $11.35. The cash held in the Trust Account as of May 9, 2024 was approximately $11.37 per Public Share. Prior to exercising redemption rights, shareholders should verify the market price of Public Shares as they may receive higher proceeds from the sale of their shares in the public market than from exercising their redemption rights if the market price per share is higher than the redemption price. ARYA cannot assure its shareholders that they will be able to sell their Public 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 its shareholders wish to sell their shares. A Public Shareholder who properly exercises its redemption rights pursuant to the procedures set forth herein will be entitled to receive a full pro rata portion of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any amounts necessary to pay ARYA’s taxes.

Appraisal Rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act

Holders of record of ARYA Shares may have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. In this proxy statement/prospectus, these appraisal or dissent rights are sometimes referred to as “Dissent Rights.”

Holders of record of ARYA Shares wishing to exercise such statutory dissenter rights and make a demand for payment of the fair value for his, her or its ARYA Shares must give written objection to the ARYA Merger to ARYA prior to the shareholder vote to approve the ARYA Merger and follow the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. These statutory appraisal rights are separate to and mutually exclusive of the right of ARYA Shareholder to demand that their Public Shares are redeemed for cash for a pro rata share of the funds on deposit in the Trust Account (including interest earned but net of taxes payable) in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents. It is possible that if an ARYA shareholder exercises appraisal rights, the fair value of the ARYA Shares determined under Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act could be more than, the same as, or less than that such holder would obtain if they exercised their redemption rights as described herein. ARYA believes that such fair value would equal the amount that ARYA shareholders would obtain if they exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

ARYA shareholders need not vote against any of the proposals at the General Meeting in order to exercise appraisal rights under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. An ARYA shareholder which elects to exercise appraisal rights must do so in respect of all of the ARYA Shares that person holds and will lose their right to exercise their redemption rights as described herein.

At the ARYA Merger Effective Time, the shares held by the dissenting ARYA shareholders (the “Dissenting ARYA Shares”) will automatically be cancelled by virtue of the ARYA Merger, and each dissenting ARYA shareholder will thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to such shares, except the right to be paid the

110

fair value of such shares and such other rights as are granted by the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or prosecute or shall have otherwise waived, effectively withdrawn or lost his, her or its rights under Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (including in the circumstances described in the immediately following paragraph) or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting ARYA Shares under Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act will cease, the shares will no longer be considered Dissenting ARYA Shares and such holder’s former ARYA Shares will thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the ARYA Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the merger consideration comprising one New Adagio Common Stock for each ARYA Share, without any interest thereon. As a result, such ARYA shareholder would not receive any cash for their ARYA Shares and would become a shareholder of New Adagio.

In the event that any ARYA shareholder delivers notice of their intention to exercise Dissent Rights, ARYA, New Adagio and ARYA Merger Sub may, in their sole discretion, elect to delay the consummation of the ARYA Merger in order to invoke the limitation on dissenter rights under Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act states that no such dissenter rights shall be available in respect of shares of any class for which an open market exists on a recognized stock exchange or recognized interdealer quotation system at the expiry date of the period allowed for written notice of an election to dissent provided that the merger consideration for the ARYA Shares constitutes inter alia shares of any company which at the effective date of the merger are listed on a national securities exchange. In circumstances where the limitation under Section 239 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act is invoked, no Dissent Rights would be available to ARYA shareholders, including those ARYA shareholders who previously delivered a written objection to the ARYA Merger prior to the General Meeting and followed the procedures set out in Section 238 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act in full up to such date, and such holder’s former ARYA Shares will thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the ARYA Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the merger consideration comprising one New Adagio Common Stock for each ARYA Share, without any interest thereon. Accordingly, ARYA shareholders are not expected to ultimately have any appraisal or dissent rights in respect of their ARYA Shares and the certainty provided by the redemption process may be preferable for Public Shareholders wishing to exchange their Public Shares for cash.

Proxy Solicitation Costs

ARYA is soliciting proxies on behalf of the ARYA Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. ARYA and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. ARYA will bear the cost of the solicitation.

ARYA has engaged Morrow as proxy solicitor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. ARYA has agreed to pay Morrow a fee of $15,000, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Morrow for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Morrow and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses.

ARYA will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward the proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. ARYA will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

ARYA Initial Shareholders’ Transactions

As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, there are 7,536,516 ARYA Shares issued and outstanding, which includes an aggregate of 499,000 Private Placement Shares held by the Sponsor and 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders, including Sponsor.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates, may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio and/or their directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately

111

negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirements that (i) the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities and (ii) otherwise limit the number of Public Shares electing to redeem.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

112

PROPOSAL 1: BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Overview

We are asking our shareholders to adopt and approve the Business Combination Agreement, certain related agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (including the Business Combination). ARYA shareholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. Please see “—The Business Combination Agreement” below for additional information and a summary of certain terms of the Business Combination Agreement. You are urged to read carefully the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal.

Because we are holding a shareholder vote on the Business Combination, we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the annual general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter.

The Business Combination Agreement

This subsection of this proxy statement/prospectus describes the material provisions of the Business Combination Agreement but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Business Combination Agreement, which is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus. You are urged to read the Business Combination Agreement in its entirety because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination.

The Business Combination Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the Business Combination Agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties and covenants were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Business Combination Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Business Combination Agreement are also modified in part by the underlying disclosure schedules (which we refer to, collectively, as the “disclosure schedules”), which are not filed publicly and which are subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from that generally applicable to shareholders and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that the disclosure schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision. Additionally, the representations and warranties of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement may or may not have been accurate as of any specific date and do not purport to be accurate as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Accordingly, no person should rely on the representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement or the summaries of the representations and warranties in this proxy statement/prospectus as characterizations of the actual state of facts about ARYA, ListCo, ARYA Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, Adagio or the business of investigating, researching, developing, testing, seeking, applying for and maintaining regulatory permits, commercializing, manufacturing, selling and marketing ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia arising out of Adagio.

On February 13, 2024, ARYA, ListCo, ARYA Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub and Adagio entered into the Business Combination Agreement, which provides, among other things, that the parties to the Business Combination Agreement will (a) execute and cause to be filed with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands, the plan of merger, pursuant to which ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA, with ARYA as the surviving company (the “ARYA Merger” and the effective time thereof, the “ARYA Merger Effective Time”) and (b) execute and cause to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, a certificate of merger, pursuant to which Company Merger Sub will merge with and into Adagio, with Adagio as the surviving company (the “Adagio Merger” and the effective time thereof, the “Adagio Merger Effective Time”) and with each of ARYA and Adagio becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo.

113

i.
Perceptive PIPE Investor will contribute up to $23,000,000 Bridge Financing Notes, any interest that has been accruing and will remain unpaid on the Bridge Financing Notes and an additional cash investment of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount would be increased by any undrawn capacity under the Bridge Financing Notes and will be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing raised) to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock and/or PIPE Warrants based on the purchase price in the PIPE Financing;

iii.
at the ARYA Merger Effective Time: (a) each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, 499,000 of which will be issued to the Sponsor in exchange for the private placement Class A ordinary shares held by it; and (b) each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, other than 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares that will be forfeited by the Sponsor and issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, and 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Sponsor will be subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting; and

iv.
at the Adagio Merger Effective Time: (a) all issued and outstanding shares of Adagio Common Stock (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the DGCL are properly exercised and not withdrawn), will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement; (b) (i) all In-the-Money Adagio Options will be automatically cancelled and extinguished in exchange for options to purchase an aggregate number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock equal to (x) the number of shares of Adagio Common Stock subject to the corresponding In-the-Money Adagio Option immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time, multiplied by (y) the applicable exchange ratio, and shall have (ii) have an exercise price per share of New Adagio Common Stock (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) subject to such In-the-Money Adagio Option equal to (A) the exercise price per Adagio Common Stock applicable to the corresponding In-the-Money Adagio option immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time, divided by (B) the applicable exchange ratio; and (c) all Adagio equity awards and all Adagio options other than In-the-Money Adagio Options (whether vested or unvested) will be automatically cancelled and extinguished for no consideration and each holder thereof shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto,

Aggregate New Adagio Proceeds

The Aggregate Transaction Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes after the Business Combination.

Closing of the Business Combination

The Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement is required to take place electronically by exchange of the closing deliverables as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than the third business day following the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions described below under the section entitled “—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination,” (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to satisfaction or waiver of such conditions) or at such other place, date and/or time as Adagio and ARYA may agree in writing.

114

In addition, certain representations and warranties of the Adagio Entities and the ARYA Parties are qualified in whole or in part by a material adverse effect standard for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representations and warranties has occurred.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, an “Adagio Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event, effect or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate with any other change, event, effect or occurrence, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on (a) the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Adagio Entities, taken as a whole, or (b) the ability of Adagio to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. However, with respect to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Adagio Entities, taken as a whole, no adverse change, event, effect or occurrence arising after the date of the Business Combination Agreement from or related to following shall be taken into account in determining whether an Adagio Material Adverse Effect has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur:

i.
general business or economic conditions in or affecting the United States, or changes therein, or the global economy generally;

ii.
any national or international political or social conditions in the United States or any other country, including the engagement by the United States or any other country in hostilities, whether or not pursuant to the declaration of a national emergency or war, or the occurrence in any place of any military or terrorist attack, sabotage or cyberterrorism;

iii.
changes in conditions of the financial, banking, capital or securities markets generally in the United States or any other country or region in the world, or changes therein, including changes in interest rates in the United States or any other country and changes in exchange rates for the currencies of any countries;

v.
any change, event, effect or occurrence that is generally applicable to the industries or markets in which any Adagio Entity operates;

117

purpose is to address the consequences resulting from the public announcement or pendency or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) of the Business Combination Agreement to the extent it relates to such representations and warranties); and

vii.
any failure by any Adagio Entity to meet, or changes to, any internal or published budgets, projections, forecasts, estimates or predictions (although the underlying facts and circumstances resulting in such failure may be taken into account to the extent not otherwise excluded from this definition pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) or (viii)), or

viii.
any hurricane, tornado, flood, earthquake, tsunami, natural disaster, mudslides, wild fires, epidemics, pandemics (including COVID-19) or quarantines, acts of God or other natural disasters or comparable events in the United States or any other country or region in the world, or any escalation of the foregoing; provided, however, that any change, event, effect or occurrence resulting from a matter described in any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v) or clause (viii) may be taken into account in determining whether an Adagio Material Adverse Effect has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur to the extent such change, event, effect or occurrence has had or would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on the Adagio Entities relative to other participants operating in the industries or markets in which the Adagio Entities operate.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, an “ARYA Material Adverse Effect” means any change, event, effect or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate with any other change, event, effect or occurrence, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the ARYA Parties to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary within the Business Combination Agreement:

i.
in no event shall (a) the execution or public announcement of the Business Combination Agreement or the pendency or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (provided that the exception in this clause (a) shall not apply to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3(b) of the Business Combination Agreement to the extent that its purpose is to address the consequences resulting from the public announcement or pendency or consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) of the Business Combination Agreement to the extent it relates to such representations and warranties), (b) any redemptions by ARYA shareholders, in and of itself, or (c) any breach of any covenants, agreements or obligations of a strategic investor under any strategic financing agreement (including any breach of a strategic investor’s (other than the Sponsor and its affiliates) obligations to fund any amounts thereunder when required), in and of itself, constitute an ARYA Material Adverse Effect; and

ii.
no change, event, effect or occurrence that is generally applicable to “SPACs” shall be taken into account in determining whether an ARYA material adverse effect has occurred or is reasonably likely to occur, except to the extent any such change, event, effect or occurrence has or would reasonably be expected to have a disproportionate adverse effect on ARYA relative to other similarly situated “SPACs.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Business Combination Agreement is validly terminated because the representations and warranties made by Adagio are not true or correct or Adagio has failed to perform any covenant or agreement to be performed by Adagio, or is otherwise terminated pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and, at the time of such termination, ARYA would have been entitled to terminate the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof (without giving effect to any cure period set forth therein), and within six months thereof any Adagio Entity enters into a definitive agreement with respect to a Business Acquisition Proposal, Adagio shall pay ARYA’s, the Sponsor’s, and ListCo’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and preparation of the Business Combination Agreement transactions, not to exceed $1,500,000.

Expenses

Except as set forth above in the section entitled “—Termination,” the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto, and the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, will be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

Governing Law

The Business Combination Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its conflict of laws principles (provided that matters that are required to be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands, including the ARYA Merger, shall be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands).

Amendments

The Business Combination Agreement may not be amended or modified, except by a writing signed by (i) ARYA and Adagio prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time and (ii) Adagio, the Sponsor and ListCo following the Adagio Merger Effective Time.

Ownership of New Adagio Immediately Following the Business Combination

It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, and assuming no holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 20.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 17.1% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 9.0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the PIPE Investors, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and including RA Capital, will own approximately 17.8% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; and (v) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 35.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock. Assuming 100% of the holders of Public Shares exercise their redemption rights: (i) Public Shareholders will retain an ownership interest of approximately 0% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (ii) the initial shareholders will own approximately 21.5% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iii) the existing Adagio shareholders, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and RA Capital, will own approximately 11.3% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; (iv) the PIPE Investors, excluding the Perceptive PIPE Investor and including RA Capital, will own approximately 22.4% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock; and (v) the Perceptive PIPE Investor will own approximately 44.7% of the outstanding New Adagio Common Stock. These percentages are based on (i) the assumptions described in the footnotes to the table under “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority

125

share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio”), and (ii) a redemption value of the Public Shares on the Closing Date of approximately $11.37 per share (based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 as of May 9, 2024).

Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination

PIPE Financing

Subscription Agreements

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo and ARYA entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, which includes (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors that are shareholders of ARYA, (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, (iv) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and (v) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing). In connection with the PIPE Financing, the PIPE Investors will also subscribe for (i) Base Warrants or (ii) a combination of Base Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. As provided for in the Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Base Warrants issuable to the PIPE Investors will depend on the redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares at Closing, the average per share price of the Class A ordinary shares purchased by certain PIPE Investors in the open market and the amount of interest on the Bridge Financing Notes that will have accrued and be unpaid at Closing and be contributed to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination.

Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for:

The number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor will, as further described in the applicable Subscription Agreement, be calculated as follows: X = (1.2*(B+C)/D) + (E/D) + F, whereby: X is the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subscribed for by the PIPE Investor; B is the amount of principal on the Bridge Financing Notes that is outstanding as of the date that is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date; C is the additional cash of $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing) that the Perceptive PIPE Investor will be investing; D is $10.00; E is the amount of any interest on the Bridge Financing Notes that is accrued and unpaid as of the date that is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date; and F is the number of Incentive Shares that will be allocated to the Perceptive PIPE Investor. The number of Base Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement of the Perceptive PIPE Investor will be equal to Z = 1.2*(B+C)/D, whereby: Z is the number of Base Warrants subscribed for by the Perceptive PIPE Investor; B is the amount of principal on the Bridge

126

Financing Notes that is outstanding as of the date that is three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date; C is the additional cash of $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing) that the Perceptive PIPE Investor will be investing; and D is the per share subscription amount of $10.00. Approximately 4,570,573 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (including Incentive Shares) and 3,728,470 Base Warrants may be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement described in the foregoing for financing commitments of approximately $8,070,575 of cash, $23,000,000 of Bridge Financing Notes and additional interest thereon that is expected to accrue and remain unpaid on the Bridge Financing Notes until the Closing Date.

The number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to PIPE Investors purchasing Class A ordinary shares in the open market and subsequently agreeing not to redeem such shares prior to Closing will, as further described in the applicable Subscription Agreements, be calculated as follows: X = (1.2*B) + C – D, whereby: X is the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subscribed for by the PIPE Investor; B is the sum of the Class A ordinary shares that the PIPE Investor purchased on the open market for an aggregate purchase price equal to its subscription amount (such shares, the “Investor ARYA Shares”) plus the Open Market Top Up Shares (as calculated pursuant to the formula set forth hereafter); C is the number of Incentive Shares; and D is the number of Investor ARYA Shares. “Open Market Top Up Shares” for purposes of the foregoing calculation shall mean a number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock yielded by the following calculation: Y = (E/10) – (E/F), whereby: Y is the number Open Market Top Up Shares; E is the subscription amount of the applicable PIPE Investor; and F is the average per share purchase price for the Investor ARYA Shares purchased by the applicable PIPE Investor. The number of Base Warrants to be issued pursuant to the foregoing Subscription Agreement is calculated as follows: Z = 1.2*B, whereby: Z is the number of Base Warrants subscribed for by the applicable PIPE Investor; B is the sum of the Investor ARYA Shares plus the Open Market Top Up Shares (as calculated pursuant to the formula set forth in the foregoing). Approximately 83,868 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (including Incentive Shares but excluding Investor ARYA Shares) and approximately 299,904 Base Warrants may be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement described in the foregoing for a financing commitment of $2,500,000, based on an average per share purchase price for the Investor ARYA Shares of $11.23 per share for 133,500 Public Shares that were purchased in the open market and, for the remainder, an average per share price that is assumed to be equal to the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on May 9, 2024 of $11.35.

The number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to PIPE Investors already holding shares of Class A ordinary shares and agreeing not to redeem such shares prior to Closing will, as further described in the applicable Subscription Agreements, be calculated as follows: X = (1.2*B) + C – D, whereby: X is the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock subscribed for by the applicable PIPE Investor; B is the sum of the Class A ordinary shares that the applicable PIPE Investor agrees not to redeem prior to Closing (such number of shares, the “Non-Redemption Shares”) plus the Top Up Shares (as calculated pursuant to the formula set forth hereafter); C is the number of Incentive Shares; and D is the number of Non-Redemption Shares. “Top Up Shares” for purposes of the foregoing calculation shall mean a number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock yielded by the following calculation: Y = (D*E/10) – D, whereby: Y is the number of Top Up Shares; D is the number of Non-Redemption Shares; and E is the redemption value per Non-Redemption Share on the Closing Date. Approximately 49,386 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (including Incentive Shares but excluding Non-Redemption Shares) and 174,710 Base Warrants may be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement described in the foregoing for a financing commitment that is equal to the non-redemption value of 127,970 Class A ordinary shares not redeemed by the PIPE Investors investing pursuant to the foregoing Subscription Agreement. The foregoing number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Base Warrants assumes a redemption value per share of $11.37 as of May 9, 2024. However, please note that the effective number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Base Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement described in the foregoing will be calculated based on the redemption value of Class A ordinary shares at Closing.

The number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to certain other PIPE Investors is equal to the number of Incentive Shares plus the subscription amount divided by $10.00 multiplied by 1.2. The number of Base Warrants to be issued to such PIPE Investors is equal to the subscription amount divided by $10.00 multiplied by 1.2. Approximately 1,422,222 shares of New Adagio Common Stock (including Incentive Shares) and 1,200,000 Base Warrants may be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement described in the foregoing for a financing commitment of $10,000,000 in cash. Certain PIPE Investors that executed the type of Subscription Agreement described in the foregoing have the option to purchase Pre-Funded Warrants instead of shares of New

127

Adagio Common Stock. The applicable Subscription Agreements provide that the PIPE Investor may notify ARYA and New Adagio after the redemption deadline for holders of Class A ordinary shares and prior to Closing of the number of Pre-Funded Warrants it wishes to subscribe for in lieu of shares of New Adagio Common Stock.

The 1,000,000 Incentive Shares will be allocated proportionally among the PIPE Investors based on their respective financing commitments in the PIPE Financing.

Convertible Security Financing

Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Convert Investors executed the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes, at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and 1,500,000 Convert Warrants, each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment. The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding. The Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased $7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Notes pursuant to the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into $7,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 525,000 Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for an additional $5,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 412,500 Convert Warrants, for a total of $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement. Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving Additional Financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced, or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having at least $48 million (as reduced by $2 million (prorated for partial months) for each calendar month anniversary from November 30, 2023 until the Closing Date) of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. For example, if the Closing Date occurs on May 31, 2024, the minimum unrestricted cash required would be $36 million and, if the Closing Date occurs on June 30, 2024, the minimum unrestricted cash required would be $34 million.

Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the maximum redemption scenario. Depending on the timing of the Closing, New Adagio will need to receive between approximately $21 million (if the Closing Date is on May 31, 2024) and approximately $19 million (if Closing Date is on June 30, 2024) of financing prior to the Closing Date in addition to the financing arrangements that were committed in connection with the signing of the Business Combination Agreement (by raising Additional Financing and/or through the receipt of unredeemed funds held in the Trust Account) for the minimum unrestricted cash condition to be met. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date and based upon the funds in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 on May 9, 2024, if redemption levels remain below approximately 37% (if the Closing Date is on May 31, 2024) or approximately 43% (if Closing Date is on June 30, 2024), the minimum unrestricted cash condition is expected to be satisfied (percentages are based on currently issued and outstanding Class A ordinary shares that are not subject to non-redemption agreements pursuant to the Subscription Agreements). If the minimum unrestricted cash condition is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, such condition may be waived by the Contingent Investor.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, on the Closing Date, ListCo, certain of its subsidiaries (other than Adagio Medical GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany and an excluded subsidiary thereunder) (the “Subsidiaries”) and Allegro Management LLC, as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) on behalf of the Convert Investors, will enter into a security and pledge agreement (the “Convert Security Document”), pursuant to which ListCo and the Subsidiaries will (i) pledge the equity interests in the

128

Subsidiaries to the Collateral Agent, (ii) pledge all of their respective promissory notes, securities and other instruments evidencing indebtedness to the Collateral Agent, and (iii) grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in and lien on all of their respective personal property and assets, including, among other items, all of their deposit accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds therefrom, in each case subject to customary exceptions, all as set forth in the form of the Convert Security Document. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Subsidiaries will deliver a guaranty (the “Convert Guaranty”) to the Collateral Agent pursuant to which the Subsidiaries will, jointly and severally, guaranty ListCo’s obligation to repay the New Adagio Convertible Notes and all other obligations of ListCo under the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and the New Adagio Convertible Notes and other related transaction documents, as set forth in the form of the Convert Guaranty. Any additional subsidiaries of ListCo formed or acquired after the closing date will be required to join the Convert Guaranty as additional guarantors.

Convert Registration Rights Agreement

The Conversion Shares, the Convert Warrants, the Convert Warrant Shares, the New Adagio Convertible Notes and any capital stock of ListCo issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, have not been registered under the Securities Act. In connection with the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, ListCo and the Convert Investors agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Convert Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will be required to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or, if not available, Form S-1 (the “Convert Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement), including the Conversion Shares, the Convert Warrant Shares and any shares issuable with respect to the New Adagio Convertible Notes, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after the Closing Date. In the event that the number of shares registered for resale under the Convert Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, ListCo will amend the Registration Statement or file with the SEC a new registration statement to cover at least the Required Registration Amount (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement) as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new registration statement, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 days after the necessity therefor arises. If ListCo fails to file the Convert Registration Statement when required, fails to obtain effectiveness by SEC when required or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Convert Registration Statement pursuant to the Convert Registration Rights Agreement, then as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of New Adagio Common Stock, ListCo will be required to pay each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Convert Registration Statement an amount equal to one percent of such Convert Investor’s original principal amount according to the timelines laid out the Convert Registration Rights Agreement. The Convert Registration Rights Agreement also provides the parties with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

Investor Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo, ARYA, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor and the other initial shareholders, and certain Adagio Stockholders entered into the Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor, the Other Class B Shareholders, certain Adagio Stockholders and investors in the Convertible Security Financing will be granted certain customary registration rights. Further, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, ListCo will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain shares of New Adagio Common Stock within 45 days after the Closing, and ListCo is required at all times to maintain the effectiveness of such resale registration statement for the benefit of the holders party to the agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to certain

129

requirements and customary conditions, the certain Adagio Stockholders, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Sponsor (including the Permitted Transferees (as defined therein) of the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Sponsor) may demand at any time or from time to time, that ListCo file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or on Form S-1 if Form S-3 is not available) to register the securities of ListCo held by such holders. The Investor Rights Agreement will also provide holders party thereto with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

The Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement executed in connection with ARYA’s initial public offering will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement.

Sponsor Letter Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Insiders, ListCo and Adagio entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, (i) each initial shareholder agreed to vote in favor of each of the transaction proposals to be voted upon at the meeting of ARYA shareholders, including approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) each initial shareholder agreed to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the governing documents of ARYA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to the Class B ordinary shares (whether resulting from the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus) or otherwise), (iii) each of the Insiders and ARYA agreed to terminate the lock-up provisions contained in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement and to replace such lock-up provisions with the transfer restrictions included in the Investor Rights Agreement, (iv) each initial shareholder agreed to be bound by certain transfer restrictions with respect to his, her or its shares in ARYA prior to the Closing (as defined in this proxy statement/prospectus), (v) the Sponsor agreed that 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the Sponsor will be subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, and (vi) the Sponsor has agreed to irrevocably forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, as Incentive Shares.

Adagio Stockholder Transaction Support Agreement

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain Adagio Stockholders entered into a Transaction Support Agreements with ARYA and Adagio, pursuant to which such Adagio Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) be bound by certain other covenants and agreements related to the Business Combination.

Background of the Business Combination

ARYA is a blank check company incorporated on August 24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. In conducting a targeted search for a business combination target, as described in greater detail below, ARYA utilized the global network and investing, industry and sector, and transaction experience of the Sponsor, ARYA’s management and the ARYA Board. The terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the related ancillary documents are the result of extensive negotiations among ARYA, Adagio and their respective representatives and advisors.

In January 2021, prior to the closing of ARYA’s initial public offering, ARYA issued 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares to the Sponsor in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000, and the Sponsor subsequently transferred 30,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of Messrs. Wider and Henderson and Ms. Trigg. On February 25, 2021, ARYA completed its initial public offering of 14,950,000 Class A ordinary shares at a price of $10.00 per share generating gross proceeds of $149.5 million before underwriting discounts and expenses. Concurrently with the closing of its initial public offering, ARYA completed the private placement of 499,000 Private Placement Shares at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor. The private placement shares sold in the private placement are substantially identical to the Public Shares sold in the initial public offering, except that the Sponsor has agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of the Private Placement Shares (except to certain permitted transferees) until 30 days after the completion of ARYA’s initial business combination. Prior to the consummation of ARYA’s initial public offering, neither ARYA, nor any authorized person on its behalf, initiated any substantive discussions, formal or otherwise, with respect to a business combination involving ARYA.

130

Following the completion of its initial public offering and, at the direction of the ARYA Board, ARYA’s directors and management commenced a focused search for potential business combination targets, leveraging ARYA’s management’s and directors’ and the Sponsor’s network of investment bankers, private equity firms and hedge funds (including Perceptive Advisors and its affiliates) and numerous other business relationships. The focus of this targeted search was potential business combination targets in the life sciences and medical technology sectors, which ARYA’s directors and management believed, based on their experience, could satisfy certain key criteria for a business combination target, including, among others: (a) scientific or other competitive advantages in the markets in which they operate and which could benefit from access to additional capital as well as ARYA management’s industry relationships and expertise; (b) readiness to be public, with, among other potential attributes, strong management and corporate governance in place; (c) likelihood to be well received by public investors and expected to have good access to the public capital markets; (d) significant embedded and/or underexploited growth opportunities; (e) unrecognized value or other characteristics that have been unevaluated by the market based on its analysis and business, operational and financial due diligence review; or (f) the ability to offer attractive risk-adjusted equity returns for ARYA’s shareholders.

In its initial search for a potential business combination target, from March through June 2021, ARYA identified four potential business combination targets that it believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination target. ARYA engaged in preliminary due diligence on each and evaluated and analyzed each as a potential business combination target based on, among other things, publicly available information and other market research available to ARYA management and representatives of the Sponsor and ARYA management’s and director’s existing knowledge of the potential targets as a result of their network and existing relationships. This preliminary diligence, evaluation and analysis with respect to each potential business combination target identified was focused on business, operational and financial matters, including, among other things, product candidate pipelines, other potential product or service offerings, technology, market potential and financial information.

From March through July 2021, ARYA engaged in preliminary discussions with respect to a potential business combination involving each of the four potential targets and engaged in further business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to such targets, which included, among others, review of financial data, discussions with management and review of scientific data with respect to each such target’s product candidate pipeline. Following these discussions, and based on its due diligence, evaluation and analysis of each such potential target, in the case of three of the targets, as more particularly described below, ARYA submitted non-binding term sheets and further discussed and explored a potential business combination on terms that it believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

One of the potential targets (“Company A”) was a genomics company specializing in gene sequencing technologies based in the United States. In March 2021, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company A and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company A regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company A on or about March 7, 2021 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

Another one of the potential targets (“Company B”) was a medical device company specializing in diabetes monitoring technologies based in the United States. In March 2021, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company B and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in preliminary discussions with representatives of Company B regarding a potential business combination. ARYA entered into a confidentiality agreement with Company B on March 21, 2021, and conducted additional preliminary due diligence and analysis regarding Company B’s business.

Another one of the potential targets (“Company C”) was a medical technology company specializing in cardiac testing technologies based in the United States. In June 2021, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company C and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company C regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company C on or about June 12, 2021 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

The fourth potential target was a gene therapy business (the “Amicus Gene Therapy Business”) operated by Amicus Therapeutics, Inc. (“Amicus”). In June 2021, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Amicus and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Amicus regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Amicus on June 7, 2021 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination, and entered into a confidentiality agreement with Amicus

131

on July 19, 2021. From March through July 2021, ARYA engaged in preliminary discussions with respect to a potential business combination involving each of the foregoing potential targets and engaged in further business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to such targets, which included, among others, review of financial data, discussions with management and review of scientific data with respect to each such target’s product candidate pipeline. Following its due diligence, evaluation and analysis and varying levels of negotiation of terms with the foregoing potential targets, in June 2021 ARYA, with the support of the ARYA Board, ceased discussions with the potential business combination targets (other than Amicus in respect of the Amicus Gene Therapy Business) and determined to focus its efforts on a potential business combination involving the Amicus Gene Therapy Business.

Following extensive negotiations, due diligence and evaluation in respect of the business combination involving the Amicus Gene Therapy Business, on July 2, 2021 ARYA and Amicus agreed to a non-binding term sheet on September 29, 2021, following approval of the ARYA Board, ARYA entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Amicus Business Combination Agreement”) with Amicus in respect of its Gene Therapy Business. On November 1, 2021, ARYA filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus relating to the Amicus Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. On February 23, 2022, ARYA and Amicus mutually agreed to terminate the Amicus Business Combination Agreement and all related transactions due to then-existing market conditions, with immediate effect.

Promptly following the termination of the Amicus Business Combination Agreement, ARYA, at the direction of the ARYA Board, re-commenced a search for potential business combination targets, leveraging its management’s and directors’ and Sponsor’s respective network of investment bankers, private equity firms and hedge funds (including Perceptive Advisors and its affiliates) and numerous other business relationships. This search was focused on potential targets that it believed could potentially meet one or more of its acquisition criteria.

During this search process, from March 2022 through January 2023, ARYA identified and conducted preliminary due diligence on seven potential business combination targets in the life sciences and medical technology sectors (including Adagio) and evaluated and analyzed each as potential business combination targets. ARYA’s due diligence, evaluation and analysis involved, among other things, diligence with respect to, and evaluating and analyzing, each target’s potential product or service offerings, technology, market potential and financial information, in each case, based on publicly available information and other market research available to the ARYA management team and its advisors, and, in certain cases, the ARYA management team’s existing knowledge of the potential targets as a result of its network and existing relationships.

One of these potential targets (“Company D”) was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company based in the United States. In May 2022, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company D and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company D regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company D on or about May 19, 2022 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

Another of these potential targets (“Company E”) was a medical device company specializing in cardiac valve replacement technologies based in Australia. In June 2022, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company E and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company E regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company E on or about June 29, 2022 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination. ARYA entered into a confidentiality agreement with Company E on August 2, 2022, and conducted additional preliminary due diligence and analysis regarding Company E’s business.

Another of these potential targets (“Company F”) was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in therapeutics for nervous system disorders based in the United States. In July 2022, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company F and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company F regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company F on or about July 19, 2022 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

Another of these potential targets (“Company G”) was a medical device company specializing in therapies for cardiac disorders based in the United States. In December 2022, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company G and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company G regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company G on or about December 13, 2022 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

132

Another of these potential targets (“Company H”) was a genomics company based in the United States. In December, 2022, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company H and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company H regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company H on or about December 22, 2022 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

Another of these potential targets (“Company I”) was a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company specializing in cancer treatments based in the United States. In January 2023, ARYA had an introductory meeting with Company I and members of ARYA’s management team engaged in discussions with representatives of Company I regarding a potential business combination. ARYA provided a draft term sheet to Company I on or about January 10, 2023 on terms that ARYA believed could satisfy one or more of its key criteria for a business combination.

In the case of Adagio, this also included ARYA management’s knowledge of the cardiac ablation technology industry and Adagio’s business, technologies and product and service offerings as a result of Perceptive PIPE Investor’s investment in Adagio, which includes (i) a 2020 investment in Adagio’s Series E Preferred Stock and (ii) a 2022 investment in convertible notes issued by Adagio to raise working capital for use in the operation of Adagio’s business pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated October 27, 2022 (the “2022 Adagio Notes”) (as a result of the foregoing investments, Perceptive PIPE Investor holds approximately 7.4% of the issued and outstanding equity securities of Adagio (on a fully-diluted basis, exclusive of the 2022 Adagio Notes and the other convertible bridge notes described further below), and holds 2022 Bridge Notes in the original principal amount of $3,000,000 (out of the aggregate total of $9,500,000 of 2022 Adagio Notes issued by Adagio to investors)). In connection with Perceptive PIPE Investor’s investments in Adagio, Perceptive PIPE Investor holds board observation rights and has become familiar with Adagio’s business.

From May 2022 through January 2023, ARYA had preliminary discussions with each potential business combination target regarding a potential business combination, and based on its due diligence, evaluation and analysis of each such potential target and these discussions, ARYA submitted non-binding term sheets with respect to the seven potential targets (including Adagio). ARYA had varying levels of additional discussions and negotiations with these potential targets following submission of these term sheets, depending on, among other things, their level of interest in a potential business combination or the terms thereof. In addition, ARYA entered into confidentiality agreements and engaged in further business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to two of such targets (including Adagio and Company E). ARYA ceased exploration of, and discussions with, six of these other potential business combination targets because of, among other things, (a) in certain cases, the target’s low level of interest in a business combination transaction or desire to explore other strategic transactions, (b) in certain cases, the inability to reach agreement on terms acceptable to both ARYA and the potential target and (c) in certain cases, as a result of ARYA’s directors’ and management’s belief (based on their preliminary due diligence, evaluation and analysis of such potential targets and the terms of a potential business combination transaction vis-a-vis such targets and the Adagio Business, respectively) that the Adagio Business was a more attractive potential business combination target that could best satisfy ARYA’s key criteria for a business combination target, including, in particular, (i) scientific or other competitive advantages in the markets in which it operates; (ii) readiness to be public, with, among other potential attributes, strong management and corporate governance in place and (iii) unrecognized value or other characteristics that have been unevaluated by the market based on its analysis and business, operational and financial due diligence review.

With respect to Adagio, in July 2022, Adagio engaged Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) as financial advisor to Adagio in connection with a potential sale of the company. Throughout the fall of 2022, Adagio contacted a number of strategic parties with the participation of Stifel. In late December 2022, Olav Bergheim, chief executive officer of Adagio, indicated to Michael Altman, director and chief financial officer of ARYA, and Konstantin Poukalov, chief business officer of ARYA, that Adagio was engaged in the process of seeking additional financing (either by means of an equity issuance by Adagio or a sale of Adagio to one or more potential purchasers), but that due to prevailing market conditions Adagio had not yet agreed to any mutually acceptable terms with any third parties. Thereafter, from December 2022 through January 22, 2023, Mr. Altman and Mr. Poukalov and other representatives of the Sponsor held multiple meetings with Mr. Bergheim and other representatives of Adagio and Stifel, to discuss, among other things, the potential benefits of, a business combination with ARYA. Following such initial discussions, in January 2023, Mr. Altman informed the directors and officers of ARYA of the possibility of exploration of a business combination between ARYA and Adagio, and ARYA’s officers and directors determined that additional discussions were warranted.

133

Additionally following such discussions, Adagio’s officers and directors determined that additional discussions and the exploration of a potential business combination between Adagio and ARYA were warranted and that, in order to facilitate such discussions and exploration concerning a potential business combination, Adagio would provide representatives of ARYA with further information for purposes of conducting preliminary business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to Adagio.

Between late December 2022 and mid-January 2023, Adagio provided representatives of ARYA with certain initial business, operational and financial due diligence and data with respect to Adagio and its business (by email and upon request from ARYA’s representatives), and representatives of ARYA held multiple telephonic and videoconference meetings with representatives of Adagio to discuss Adagio’s business, as well as the high-level framework for a potential business combination among the parties, and during this same time period, representatives of ARYA engaged in further business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to Adagio.

On January 25, 2023, Mr. Bergheim invited ARYA to submit proposed terms for a business combination between the parties. On January 25, 2023, representatives of ARYA provided representatives of Adagio with a draft, non-binding term sheet with respect to the potential business combination, which provided for a $75 million pre-transaction equity value of Adagio, expected PIPE financing of $50 million (with $15 million to be provided by the Perceptive PIPE Investor), and other customary terms and conditions for transactions of this type. In preparing its initial offered terms, ARYA selected and proposed the pre-transaction equity value of Adagio that was used in such draft non-binding term sheet, based upon a discount to the approximately $140 million post-money valuation of Adagio that had been used in Adagio’s Series E Preferred Stock financing round in November 2020. ARYA determined this approximately 46% discount was appropriate, given ARYA’s understanding, based on its own observations and the perspectives of its financial advisors, that valuations for similarly situated early-stage companies seeking financing in early 2023 had generally experienced similar declines in the time period since November 2020.

Between January 25, 2023 and February 28, 2023, representatives of ARYA and Kirkland & Ellis LLP (“K&E”), counsel to ARYA, on the one hand, and representatives of Adagio and Reed Smith LLP (“Reed Smith”), counsel to Adagio, on the other hand, held multiple telephonic and videoconference meetings and exchanged multiple revised drafts of the non-binding term sheet. Over the same period of time, ARYA and Adagio came to agreement on the outstanding business issues in the non-binding term sheet, including, among others: (a) the pre-transaction equity value of Adagio (which, following further negotiation, the parties agreed would be a fixed pre-transaction equity value of $80 million, on a fully diluted basis); (b) the forfeiture, by the Sponsor, of up to 1,000,000 of the ARYA Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor in connection with the potential business combination transaction; (c) the subjecting of 1,147,500 ARYA Class B ordinary shares held by the Sponsor to share trigger price vesting of $24.00 per share; (d) the post-closing Board composition (which the parties initially agreed would consist of a mutually agreeable number of directors, with (i) one individual designated by the Sponsor and (ii) the other directors being existing directors of Adagio or “independent” directors designated by Adagio and mutually agreed to by both the Sponsor and Adagio in each case); (e) a 12-month post-Closing lock-up period applicable to the Adagio shareholders, the Sponsor, Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Other Class B Shareholders; and (f) the key closing conditions, including the amount and components of the minimum cash condition (which the parties initially agreed would be a mutual $60 million minimum cash condition). Additionally, ARYA and Adagio each acknowledged and agreed that, in order to pursue a business combination transaction with ARYA, Adagio would require additional working capital for its operations prior to consummation of a proposed business combination transaction; therefore, the parties and the Perceptive PIPE Investor agreed that, in connection with the execution of a non-binding term sheet, the Perceptive PIPE Investor would negotiate and mutually agree upon the terms of the April 2023 Notes, wherein the Perceptive PIPE Investor would commit to invest up to $15 million of bridge financing in the form of convertible notes (which would convert into ARYA shares in connection with the PIPE Financing at the time of the potential business combination, and would constitute a portion of the expected transaction proceeds).

During this same time period, Mr. Altman kept the ARYA Board apprised regarding the status of discussions and negotiations with Adagio, including during the course of regular board correspondence. At the direction of ARYA’s directors, ARYA management continued to conduct business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to Adagio (including its potential product and service offerings and related technology), the market for similar products and the public financing markets in connection with exploring the potential business combination, including through additional discussions with Adagio management and review of financial and scientific data provided by Adagio with respect to its business.

134

On February 27, 2023, ARYA contacted Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”), requesting that Jefferies act as financial advisor to ARYA with respect to the potential transaction, and placement agent with respect to the potential PIPE Financing.

On February 28, 2023, ARYA and Adagio agreed to the final terms of the non-binding term sheet, and each determined to further evaluate, negotiate and pursue a potential business combination. This determination by ARYA was based on, among other things: (a) ARYA’s directors’ and management’s belief, based on its analysis and review and initial due diligence and the terms of the non-binding term sheet, that Adagio met certain of its key criteria in a business combination target, including, in particular: (i) scientific or other competitive advantages in the markets in which it operates; and (ii) unrecognized value or other characteristics that have been unevaluated by the market based on its analysis and business, operational and financial due diligence review (including significant existing clinical trial data, existing relationships with production partners with commercial expansion capabilities to support commercialization and growth of key products); (b) the level of engagement by, and advanced negotiations and discussions with, Adagio, including with respect to having a preliminary agreement on key terms and conditions of a potential transaction; and (c) Adagio’s preparedness and willingness to devote appropriate resources to negotiating and executing definitive agreements and to consummating a business combination.

Also on February 28, 2023, Adagio executed a non-disclosure agreement with ARYA pursuant to which ARYA and Adagio agreed to exchange confidential information for purposes of further evaluating and, as each party saw fit, negotiating, pursuing and consummating a potential business combination transaction.

Also on February 28, 2023, at an extraordinary general meeting of ARYA, ARYA’s shareholders elected to extend the Termination Date from March 2, 2023 to June 2, 2023, and to allow ARYA, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend such Termination Date on a monthly basis until March 2, 2024 by resolution of the ARYA Board if requested by the Sponsor and by depositing $140,000 every month into the Trust Account (for more information, also see “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal”).

On March 3, 2023, representatives of ARYA, K&E, Jefferies, Adagio, Stifel, Reed Smith and WithumSmith+Brown, PC (“Withum”), as auditor to Adagio and ARYA conducted a videoconference meeting during which the parties and their respective representatives and advisors discussed preliminary matters relating to the timeline and process to signing definitive agreements providing for a potential business combination and the PIPE Financing. During such videoconference, the parties discussed the transaction timeline would need to be adjusted to allow for completion of the audit of Adagio’s 2022 Consolidated Financial Statements, prior to initiating the PIPE marketing process. The parties also discussed the preparation and negotiation of the documents needed for implementation of the agreed $15 million bridge financing for Adagio under the April 2023 Notes, including discussions regarding the Adagio’s ongoing discussions with Silicon Valley Bank, a division of First-Citizen Bank & Trust Company (successor by purchase to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation as Receiver for Silicon Valley Bridge Bank N.A. (as successor to Silicon Valley Bank)) (“SVB”), to obtain SVB’s consent to the bridge financing under the April 2023 Notes, which would be required pursuant to the existing Loan and Security Agreement, dated February 3, 2023 (the “SVB Term Loan”) by and among Adagio and SVB.

On March 9, 2023, at a meeting of the audit committee of the ARYA Board, Mr. Altman gave the directors present an update regarding the status and timeline of the potential business combination transaction with Adagio, including developments related to Adagio’s business operations, and the progress of the audit of Adagio’s 2022 financial statements, and such directors expressed support for continued pursuit of the potential transaction with Adagio.

On March 16, 2023, on behalf of the Perceptive PIPE Investor, K&E distributed to Reed Smith, the first draft of the note purchase agreement and form of promissory note for the bridge financing transaction under the April 2023 Notes. Later on March 16, 2023, Reed Smith distributed to K&E, SVB’s standard form of subordination agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”).

Between March 16, 2023 and April 4, 2023, K&E and Reed Smith negotiated the terms and exchanged drafts of the April 2023 Notes and related documents, including the note purchase agreement and form of convertible promissory note for the April 2023 Notes, the Subordination Agreement, and a proposed amendment to the terms of the 2022 Adagio Notes, by and among Adagio, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain other Adagio investors (the

135

“Omnibus 2022 Note Amendment”), which amendment was necessary in order to facilitate the bridge financing under the April 2023 Notes and to provide for treatment of the 2022 Adagio Notes in connection with a de-SPAC transaction (including the proposed business combination transaction with ARYA), about which the 2022 Adagio Notes were previously silent.

On April 4, 2023, at a meeting of the audit committee of the ARYA Board, Mr. Altman gave the directors present an update regarding the status and timeline of the potential business combination transaction with Adagio, including developments related to Adagio’s business operations, and the progress of the audit of Adagio’s 2022 financial statements, and such directors expressed support for continued pursuit of the potential transaction with Adagio.

Also on April 4, 2023, the note purchase agreement for the April 2023 Notes, together with the initial promissory note issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor thereunder, the Subordination Agreement and the Omnibus 2022 Note Amendment were executed by each party thereto, and pursuant to the initial April 2023 Note, Adagio drew an original principal amount of $5,000,000 for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

On May 2, 2023, representatives of ARYA, K&E, Jefferies, Adagio, Stifel, Reed Smith and Withum conducted a videoconference meeting during which the parties and their respective representatives and advisors discussed matters relating to the progress of the audit of Adagio’s 2022 financial statements, transaction timeline and process to signing definitive agreements providing for a potential business combination, and discussed and tentatively agreed on a work plan ultimately leading to such definitive agreements in late June 2023.

Each of K&E, KPMG International Limited (“KPMG”), who conducted tax and accounting due diligence for ARYA, King & Spalding LLP and Fox Rothschild provided ARYA with a due diligence report summarizing its key findings with respect to its due diligence review of Adagio and its business. These reports were provided to the ARYA Board in advance of the videoconference meeting of the ARYA Board on November 28, 2023 (as further described below).

Between May 2023 and September 2023 Mr. Altman and representatives of ARYA kept the ARYA Board apprised regarding the status and timeline of the potential business combination transaction with Adagio, including regular reports at meetings of ARYA’s audit committee held on May 8, 2023 and August 10, 2023, and during the course of regular board correspondence, developments related to Adagio’s business operations, and the progress of the audit of Adagio’s 2022 financial statements, and at the direction of ARYA’s directors, continued to conduct business, operational and financial due diligence with respect to Adagio (including its potential product and service offerings and related technology), the market for similar products and public financing markets in connection with exploring the potential business combination, including through additional discussions with Adagio management and review of financial and scientific data provided by Adagio with respect to its business.

ARYA management described for the Board, the business and operational due diligence that had been conducted by ARYA management (in conjunction with representatives of Sponsor) with respect to Adagio and its business and presented to the Board a read-out of such business due diligence findings. Representatives from K&E and Ogier also reviewed with the ARYA directors their fiduciary duties in connection with the potential business combination and the ARYA directors disclosed, discussed and acknowledged actual and potential conflicts of interests of the ARYA directors with respect to the potential business combination, including (as described more fully elsewhere in the section entitled “—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination”) the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s existing ownership interest in Adagio, including by virtue of its Series E Preferred Stock of Adagio, its outstanding 2022 Adagio Note, and its outstanding April 2023 Notes.

Beginning in early September 2023, representatives of Jefferies as the placement agent, held conversations with prospective investors with respect to the proposed PIPE Financing to review Adagio and its business and address questions from potential investors. ARYA and Adagio came to agreement on the target size and terms of the equity financing and K&E, Reed Smith and White & Case LLP (“White & Case”), counsel to Jefferies, exchanged drafts of the initial forms of Subscription Agreements to be entered into by PIPE Investors in connection with the PIPE Financing.

On September 29, 2023, pursuant to an April 2023 Note issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor on such date, Adagio drew an original principal amount of $2,000,000 for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Between October 18, 2023 and November 28, 2023, K&E, Reed Smith and White & Case collectively negotiated the terms and exchanged drafts of the Subscription Agreements. On November 28, 2023, drafts of the forms of Subscription Agreement were distributed to prospective PIPE Investors and between November 28, 2023 and February 13, 2024, K&E, Reed Smith and White & Case collectively negotiated with the PIPE Investors and their respective representatives and advisors, including with respect to the registration rights, features of the PIPE Warrants and the non-redemption and open market purchase commitments from certain Other PIPE Investors, and responded to follow-up questions and comments related thereto, including with respect to the closing process and the expected timeline for consummating the business combination.

During this same time period, the prospective PIPE Investors conveyed to Jefferies their proposed subscription amounts, and based on PIPE Investor feedback and ARYA and Adagio’s discussions with Jefferies and Stifel, ARYA and Adagio agreed to revise the fixed pre-transaction equity value of Adagio to $24 million. The prospective PIPE Investors, ARYA and Adagio determined the pre-transaction equity value of $24 million by comparing Adagio’s business with the valuations of similarly-situated pre-market companies that had recently been acquired and by taking into account the valuation and price that the potential PIPE Investors indicated they would accept. Due to Adagio’s status as a pre-market enterprise, there was no additional valuation methodology or analysis used in determining the pre-transaction equity value of Adagio. Additionally, during this time period, the parties further agreed that PIPE Investors would receive the PIPE Warrants in connection with their subscriptions in the PIPE Financing. ARYA, Adagio and Jefferies determined final allocations with respect to the aggregate committed financing of $65 million, of which (a) $45 million of the commitments would be from PIPE Investors (including $30 million from the Perceptive PIPE Investor consisting of (i) the $15 million of April 2023 Notes previously issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor and (ii) an additional $15 million committed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, up to $7 million of which would be in the form of the November 2023 Notes, which would be issued upon substantially the same terms as the April 2023 Notes, and which could be drawn by Adagio for working capital and general corporate purposes) and (b) $20 million in the form of the Convertible Security Financing. In connection with the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s agreement to provide additional financing to Adagio under the November 2023 Notes, ARYA, the Sponsor and

138

Adagio agreed that the Perceptive PIPE Investor would be entitled to designate the majority of the initial directors serving on the board of directors of ListCo upon consummation of the Closing. The foregoing terms (including the modified $24 million pre-transaction equity value of Adagio) were included in the terms of an updated draft of the Business Combination Agreement that K&E, on behalf of ARYA, distributed to Reed Smith on November 22, 2023.

On October 26, 2023, pursuant to an April 2023 Note issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor on such date, Adagio drew an original principal amount of $2,000,000 for working capital and other general corporate purposes, after which all available amounts had been drawn by Adagio under the April 2023 Note documents.

On November 8, 2023, at a meeting of the audit committee of the ARYA Board, Mr. Altman gave the directors present an update regarding the status and timeline of the potential business combination transaction with Adagio, including developments related to Adagio’s business operations, and the progress of the audit of Adagio’s 2022 financial statements, and such directors expressed support for continued pursuit of the potential transaction with Adagio.

On February 2, 2024, a videoconference meeting of the ARYA Board was held with representatives of K&E, Ogier, ARYA’s management, and representatives of the Sponsor in attendance. At the meeting, K&E and Ogier reviewed the Board’s fiduciary duties under Cayman law, and then ARYA’s management, representatives of the Sponsor, and representatives of K&E provided the ARYA directors with an update and overview of the potential business combination and the process related thereto, as well as certain key developments, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s willingness to provide the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment and commitment to enter into the 2024 Bridge Financing Note in order to enable ARYA and Adagio to advance discussions with the other potential investors in the Convertible Security Financing. ARYA management also discussed with the Board the expected timeline and process for a potential signing of the Business Combination Agreement and delivery of Scalar’s expected fairness opinion. Following the meeting, ARYA’s independent directors (Messrs. Wider and Henderson and Ms. Trigg) held an executive session of the independent directors to further discuss the potential business combination.

On February 2, 2024, K&E delivered to Reed Smith, initial drafts of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note. Between February 2, 2024 and February 12, 2024, K&E and Reed Smith negotiated the terms and exchanged drafts of the definitive documents to be entered into in connection with the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note.

Throughout the process of discussions between Adagio and ARYA regarding the potential business combination, the Adagio board held periodic meetings at which the directors received updates on, and discussed and provided feedback with respect to, the potential sale of Adagio, including with respect to the terms presented in the non-binding term sheet described above and the drafts of the transaction agreements. On February 9, 2024, Adagio held a videoconference meeting of its board with representatives of Reed Smith to review the terms of the transaction, including the key terms of the various transaction documents and the matters that remained unresolved. The Adagio board approved the terms of the transaction as presented and authorized management to continue to work to finalize the open terms and agreements.

At the meeting, the ARYA directors were provided with an overview of the proposed Business Combination (including the potential benefits and the risks related thereto), the key terms of the other proposed transaction documents, the valuation of the combined company as implied by the terms of the potential Business Combination (including and comparison of such valuation relative to certain publicly traded companies) and the proposed resolutions to approve the Business Combination. Representatives from K&E and Ogier also reviewed with the ARYA directors their fiduciary duties in connection with the proposed Business Combination, and the ARYA directors acknowledged the conflicts of interests of the ARYA directors with respect to the proposed Business Combination (including the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s existing

141

ownership interest in Adagio, its investments in Adagio pursuant to the 2022 Adagio Notes, the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes, its participation in the PIPE Financing and the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment). At the request of the ARYA Board, representatives of Scalar then reviewed its financial analysis of the proposed Business Combination with the ARYA Board, and rendered to the ARYA Board an oral opinion, which was subsequently confirmed by the delivery of a written opinion, dated February 13, 2024, to the effect that, as of such date and based on and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion, the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be paid by ARYA to the Adagio shareholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Parties (as defined in such opinion)). ARYA’s independent directors (Messrs. Wider, Henderson and Ms. Trigg) also held an executive session of independent directors with K&E to further discuss the Business Combination and the proposed resolutions to, if the ARYA Board saw fit, approve the Business Combination prior to a motion being made to so approve such resolutions.

On February 13, 2024, a videoconference meeting of the ARYA Board was held with representatives of K&E, Ogier, counsel to ARYA with respect to matters of Cayman Islands law, ARYA’s management and representatives of the Sponsor in attendance. At the meeting, the Board received an update on the status of the transaction, after which, based on the factors cited in “—Reasons for the Business Combination,” and in light of the fact that the implied fair market value of Adagio in the Business Combination was in excess of 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account, ARYA’s independent directors, in a separate vote, and the entire ARYA Board each adopted and approved, among other resolutions, resolutions (a) determining that it is in the best interests of ARYA to negotiate, execute and deliver the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto and to consummate the transactions contemplated by each of the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto; (b) approving the Business Combination Agreement and ancillary documents thereto and approving ARYA’s execution, delivery and performance of the same and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and the ancillary documents thereto, including the PIPE Financing and the Convertible Security Financing; (c) authorizing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting of ARYA shareholders on such date, location and time as determined by ARYA’s management; (d) recommending that the ARYA shareholders vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal; and (e) authorizing the amendment of the convertible notes issued by ARYA to the ARYA Sponsor, to provide that certain amounts owed under such notes shall be convertible, at the ARYA Sponsor’s option, into ARYA’s Class B Shares. One ARYA director was absent from the meeting due to a scheduling conflict. There were no abstentions and no objections to the foregoing resolutions. Immediately following the meeting, ARYA obtained the written consent of the absent director to all of the foregoing resolutions.

On February 13, 2024, final versions of the Subscription Agreements were distributed to the prospective PIPE Investors, which reflected the outcome of negotiations between ARYA, Adagio and the prospective PIPE Investors and their respective representatives and advisors. On February 13, 2024, the prospective PIPE Investors that had chosen to participate in the PIPE Financing indicated their final subscription amounts, ARYA and Adagio determined final investment allocations with respect to the PIPE Financing and the PIPE Investors delivered executed Subscription Agreements to K&E. No material valuations or other information about ARYA, Adagio, New Adagio or the Business Combination was provided to potential PIPE Investors that has not been disclosed publicly.

On February 13, 2024, the parties entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the related ancillary documents; the PIPE Investors (including the Perceptive PIPE Investor) executed and delivered the Subscription Agreements, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, including (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors that are shareholders of ARYA, (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, (iv) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo, and (v) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing).

142

Adagio Convertible Notes. On February 14, 2024, the Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased $7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Notes pursuant to the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for an additional $5,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors that executed the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving Additional Financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced, or a combination of both.

On February 14, 2024, ARYA and Adagio issued a joint press release announcing the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, and ARYA filed a Current Report on Form 8-K and an amendment to such Current Report on Form 8-K, which collectively included as exhibits (a) the joint press release by ARYA and Adagio, (b) an investor presentation providing information on Adagio and a summary of certain key terms of the business combination, and (c) the definitive agreements executed in connection with the Business Combination.

On February 27, 2024, at an extraordinary general meeting of ARYA, ARYA’s shareholders elected to extend the Termination Date from March 2, 2024 to April 2, 2024, and to allow ARYA, without another shareholder vote, to elect to further extend such Termination Date on a monthly basis until March 2, 2025 by resolution of the ARYA Board if requested by the Sponsor and by depositing $111,000 every month into the Trust Account (for more information, also see “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Second Extension Amendment Proposal”).

The ARYA Board’s Reasons for the Business Combination

The ARYA Board, in evaluating the transaction with Adagio, consulted with its legal counsel, financial and accounting advisors and other advisors. In reaching its resolution (i) that the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination, are advisable and in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and (ii) to recommend that the shareholders adopt the Business Combination Agreement and approve the Business Combination, the ARYA Board (i) consulted with ARYA’s legal and financial advisors in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination Agreement and the Business Combination, (ii) reviewed the results of due diligence conducted by ARYA’s management team, together with its legal and financial advisors and (iii) considered a range of factors, including, but not limited to, the factors discussed below. In light of the number and wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the Business Combination, the ARYA Board did not consider it practicable to, and did not attempt to, quantify or otherwise assign relative weights to the specific factors that it considered in reaching its determination and supporting its decision. The ARYA Board viewed its decision as being based on all of the information available and the factors presented to and considered by it. In addition, individual directors may have given different weight to different factors. This explanation of ARYA’s reasons for the Business Combination and all other information presented in this section is forward-looking in nature and, therefore, should be read in light of the factors discussed under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.”

In approving the Business Combination, the ARYA Board determined to obtain a fairness opinion. In addition, the officers and directors of ARYA have substantial experience in evaluating the operating and financial merits of companies from a wide range of industries, but particularly the healthcare and life sciences industries, and concluded that their experience and background, together with the experience and sector expertise of ARYA’s advisors, enabled them to make the necessary analyses and determinations regarding the Business Combination.

The ARYA Board considered a variety of factors, including the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance, in deciding to approve the Business Combination Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby:

• Innovative Technology for an Unmet Medical Need. The target clinical indications for Adagio’s innovative cardiac ablation technology are unprecedented due to the limited long-term effectiveness of existing technologies. Adagio’s breakthrough technology has demonstrated improved outcomes in VT and persistent patients, indicating a significant combined growth potential.

143

• Commercialization Strategy. The ARYA Board believes that the components of Adagio’s technology will allow for the creation of efficient sourcing and manufacturing processes that ultimately will enable New Adagio to adequately increase manufacturing and production capabilities and meet its commercial plans.

• Experienced Leadership Team. The ARYA Board believes that Adagio has a proven and experienced team that is positioned to successfully lead New Adagio after the Business Combination and advance its AF and VT clinical programs worldwide.

• Transaction Proceeds. Depending on the extent of redemptions by the Public Shareholders and on the final amount of the expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination, the Business Combination is expected to provide up to approximately $65 million of gross cash proceeds to New Adagio (assuming maximum redemptions by ARYA’s Public Shareholders). This additional cash injection is expected to, among other things, fund New Adagio’s business plan through 2025 based on the plans and estimates provided by Adagio.

• Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor. The oral opinion of Scalar, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, rendered to the ARYA Board on February 12, 2024, to the effect that, as of such date and based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion (attached as Annex X to this proxy statement/prospectus), the Consideration (as defined in such opinion) to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Parties), as more fully described below under the caption “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor.”

• Other Alternatives. The ARYA Board believed, after a review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to ARYA, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for ARYA based on its evaluation of Adagio and other potential acquisition targets.

• Due Diligence. The ARYA Board reviewed and discussed in detail the results of the due diligence examination of Adagio conducted by ARYA’s management team and ARYA’s financial, legal and regulatory advisors, including extensive telephonic and in-person meetings with the management team and advisors of Adagio regarding Adagio and its business plan, operations, prospects and forecasts, evaluation analyses with respect to the Business Combination, review of material contracts, Adagio’s audited and unaudited financial statements and other material matters as well as general financial, technical, legal, intellectual property, regulatory, tax and accounting due diligence.

• Financial Condition. The ARYA Board reviewed factors such as Adagio’s historical financial results, and outlook and business and financial plans. In reviewing these factors, the ARYA Board believed that Adagio was well positioned in its industry for potential strong future growth and therefore was likely to be positively viewed by public investors.

• Reasonableness of Consideration. Following a review of the financial data provided to ARYA, the due diligence of Adagio’s business conducted by ARYA’s management and ARYA’s advisors and the support for the pre-transaction equity value of Adagio of $24 million that was expressed by PIPE Investors that decided to participate in the PIPE Financing, the management of ARYA determined that the aggregate consideration to be paid in the Business Combination was reasonable.

• Negotiated Transaction. The ARYA Board considered the terms and conditions of the Business Combination Agreement and the related agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby, each party’s representations, warranties and covenants, the conditions to each party’s obligation to consummate the Business Combination and the termination provisions, as well as the strong commitment by both ARYA and Adagio to complete the Business Combination. The ARYA Board also considered the financial and other terms of the Business Combination Agreement and the fact that such terms and conditions were the product of arm’s length negotiations between ARYA and Adagio.

• Post-Closing Economic Interest in New Adagio. If the Business Combination is consummated, ARYA’s shareholders (other than the Public Shareholders that sought redemption of their Public Shares) would have a meaningful economic interest in New Adagio and, as a result, would have a continuing opportunity to benefit from the success of New Adagio following the consummation of the Business Combination.

144

• Lock-Up. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 tradingdays within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date.

• Post-Closing Governance. The fact that the Sponsor negotiated the right to designate (following consultation with Adagio) four members of the New Adagio Board following the Business Combination, which the ARYA Board believes will allow for the combined company to benefit from the Sponsor’s professional relationships to identify potential board members that will have appropriate industry and/or financial knowledge and professional experience to oversee New Adagio and drive returns for shareholders. See “—Board of Directors” for more information.

• Industry and Trends. Adagio’s business is based in a proprietary technology and research and development manufacturing industry focused on supply chain integrity that the ARYA Board considers attractive, and which, following a review of industry trends and other industry factors (including, among other things, historic and projected market growth), the ARYA Board believes has continued growth potential in future periods.

• Advisor Special Purpose Acquisition Company Experience. The fact that ARYA received advice on financial and strategic matters in connection with the Business Combination from advisors that have expertise in a wide variety of special purpose acquisition company transactions. Certain directors and officers of ARYA have held director and officer positions at multiple special purpose acquisition companies that have successfully completed business combinations in the healthcare industry.

The ARYA Board also identified and considered a variety of factors and risks, potentially weighing negatively against pursuing the Business Combination, including, but not limited to, the following which are not weighted or in any order of significance:

• Macroeconomic Risks. The risk that the future financial performance of Adagio may not meet the ARYA Board’s expectations due to factors in Adagio’s control or outside of its control.

• Regulation. The risk that changes in the regulatory and legislative landscape or new industry developments may adversely affect the projected financial results and the other business benefits anticipated to result from the Business Combination.

• Redemption Risk. The potential that a significant number of Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and pursuant to the Existing Organizational Documents. However, even in the event that a significant number of Public Shareholders elect to redeem their shares, this redemption would not prevent the consummation of the Business Combination.

• Benefits Not Achieved. The risk that the potential benefits of the Business Combination may not be fully achieved or may not be achieved within the expected timeframe.

• Exclusivity. The fact that the Business Combination Agreement includes an exclusivity provision that prohibits ARYA from soliciting or cooperating with other business combination proposals, which restricts ARYA’s ability, so long as the Business Combination Agreement is in effect, to consider other potential business combinations.

• Shareholder Vote. The risk that ARYA’s shareholders may fail to provide the votes necessary to effect the Business Combination.

• Market Volatility. The possibility that the market for Class A ordinary shares experiences volatility and disruptions, causing deal disruption.

145

• Liquidation of ARYA. The risks and costs to ARYA if the Business Combination is not completed, including the risk of diverting management focus and resources from other business combination opportunities, which could result in ARYA being unable to effect a business combination by the Termination Date, as extended, and force ARYA to liquidate.

• Closing Conditions. The potential risks and costs associated with the Business Combination failing to be consummated in a timely manner or that Closing might not occur despite the reasonable best efforts of the parties. The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned on the satisfaction of certain Closing conditions that are not within ARYA’s control, including but not limited to approval by ARYA shareholders. See “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination” for more information.

• Listing Risks. The challenges associated with preparing Adagio, a privately held entity, for the applicable disclosure, controls and listing requirements to which New Adagio will be subject as a publicly traded company on Nasdaq or another stock exchange.

• Fees and Expenses. The expected fees and expenses associated with the Business Combination and related transactions, some of which would be payable regardless of whether the Business Combination is ultimately consummated and the substantial time and effort of management required to complete the Business Combination.

• Litigation Related to the Business Combination. The possibility of litigation challenging the Business Combination or that an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin consummation of the Business Combination.

• Other Risks. Various other risks associated with the Business Combination, the business of ARYA and the business of Adagio described under the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition to considering the factors described above, the ARYA Board also considered that certain of the officers and directors of ARYA may have interests in the Business Combination as individuals that are in addition to, and that may be different from, the interests of ARYA’s shareholders. ARYA’s independent directors reviewed and considered these interests during the negotiation of the Business Combination and in evaluating and approving, as members of the ARYA Board, the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein, including the Business Combination.

The ARYA Board concluded that the potential benefits that it expected ARYA and its shareholders to achieve as a result of the Business Combination outweighed the potentially negative factors associated with the Business Combination. Accordingly, the ARYA Board determined that the Business Combination Agreement, the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and consummated in connection with the Business Combination, were advisable and in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders.

Certain Engagements in Connection with the Business Combination and Related Transactions

Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) was engaged by Adagio as its financial advisor. Jefferies LLC (“Jefferies”) was engaged by ARYA and ListCo as financial and capital markets advisor and is acting as a placement agent in connection with the PIPE Financing. Chardan Capital Markets, LLC (“Chardan”) was engaged as sole placement agent in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. Each will receive compensation in connection with their respective engagements.

Subject to the terms and conditions of their respective engagement letters, (i) Stifel will receive the greater of $2,000,000 and 2.0% of the consideration received in connection with the Business Combination (the “Stifel Transaction Fee”), (ii) Jefferies will receive $1,000,000 plus 6.0% of that portion of the gross proceeds of the PIPE Financing that exceeds $60,000,000 (including any investment from the Perceptive PIPE Investor in any New Adagio Convertible Notes) (the “Jefferies Transaction Fee”), and (iii) Chardan will receive 6.0% of the aggregate sales proceeds received from investors in the Convertible Security Financing (excluding any investment from current debt or equity investors of Adagio, such as the Perceptive PIPE Investor) and investors introduced to the Company by Chardan in connection with any other debt or equity securities (the “Chardan Transaction Fee”). Stifel will also be entitled to reimbursement of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (the “Stifel Expenses”). Jefferies will also be entitled to $2,616,250 of deferred underwriting commissions from ARYA’s IPO (the “Jefferies Deferred Fees,” and together with the Jefferies Transaction Fee, the “Jefferies Fees”) and an expense reimbursement of up to $1,000,000 for expenses of its legal counsel (the “Jefferies Legal Fees”) and up to $60,000 for its expenses other than for its

146

legal counsel (the “Jefferies Expenses”). Chardan is entitled to be reimbursed for up to $25,000 of expenses (the “Chardan Expenses”). The Stifel Transaction Fee and Stifel Expenses will be paid in cash. The Jefferies Legal Fees and the Jefferies Expenses will be paid in cash and, at the election of ARYA, the Jefferies Fees may be paid in cash or in shares of New Adagio Common Stock. If ARYA elects to pay the Jefferies Fee in shares of New Adagio Common Stock, such shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued based on the then current market price no earlier than 60 days from the Closing Date and within two years following the Closing Date. The Chardan Transaction Fee and Chardan Expenses will be paid in cash.

Assuming $45,000,000 is raised by the placement agents in the PIPE Financing, the Jefferies Transaction Fee would be $1,000,000. Based on an anticipated $20,000,000 to be raised in the Convertible Security Financing including $7,500,000 from third party investors and $12,500,000 from the Perceptive PIPE Investor, it is anticipated that the Chardan Transaction Fee will be for $450,000. As further described above, depending on the Additional Financing being raised and whether the commitment of the Perceptive PIPE Investor under the Convertible Security Financing is reduced, the Jefferies Transaction Fee or the Chardan Transaction Fee might increase.

The Jefferies Deferred Fees payable in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination will remain constant and will not be adjusted based on the number of shares that are redeemed. As such, the Jefferies Deferred Fees would represent approximately 7.0%, 9.4% and 28.1% of the value of the cash remaining in the Trust Account assuming the no redemption, 25% redemption and 75% redemption scenario, respectively (based on Trust Account balances of approximately $37,543,644, $28,157,733 and $9,385,911 in the no redemption, 25% redemption and 75% redemption scenario, respectively). In the 100% redemption scenario, the Trust Account balance would be approximately $0. The amount of the Jefferies Deferred Fees will not be adjusted for any shares that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination. The per-share amount ARYA will distribute to Public Shareholders who properly exercise their redemption rights will not be reduced by the Jefferies Deferred Fees and after such redemptions and the per-share value of shares held by non-redeeming Public Shareholders may reflect our obligation to pay the Jefferies Deferred Fees.

Opinion of ARYA’s Financial Advisor

On February 12, 2024, at a meeting of the ARYA Board, Scalar rendered its oral opinion to the ARYA Board, which was subsequently confirmed in writing, as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, as of such date, to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Parties) of the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion) to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (without giving effect to any impact of the Business Combination on any particular holder of Class A ordinary shares other than in its capacity as a holder of Class A ordinary shares), based upon and subject to the procedures followed, assumptions made, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in preparing its opinion. For purposes of Scalar’s opinion and this summary, the Consideration consisted of shares of New Adagio Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to $24,000,000, subject to certain adjustments (as to which Scalar expressed no opinion), with a stated value of $10.00 per share of New Adagio Common Stock.

The full text of Scalar’s written opinion, dated February 13, 2024, which sets forth the procedures followed, assumptions made, matters considered, qualifications and limitations on the review undertaken, and other matters considered by Scalar in connection with the opinion, is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex X. The summary of Scalar’s opinion in this proxy statement/prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Scalar’s written opinion. Scalar’s advisory services and opinion were provided for the information and assistance of the ARYA Board and the opinion does not constitute a recommendation as to how any shareholder of ARYA should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter.

In arriving at its opinion, Scalar, among other things:

• reviewed a draft, dated February 12, 2024, of the Sponsor Letter Agreement;

• reviewed a draft, dated February 12, 2024, of the Business Combination Agreement;

• reviewed drafts, dated February 12, 2024, of the Subscription Agreements;

• reviewed a draft, dated February 12, 2024 of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement;

147

• reviewed a draft, dated February 12, 2024, of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the Sponsor Letter Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement, the Subscription Agreements and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, collectively, the “Reviewed Transaction Documents”);

• reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information relating to ARYA and Adagio;

• reviewed certain historical financial information and other data relating to Adagio that were provided to Scalar by the management of ARYA, approved for Scalar’s use by ARYA and not publicly available;

• reviewed certain internal estimates, and other data relating to the business and financial prospects of Adagio that were provided to Scalar by the management of ARYA, approved for Scalar’s use by ARYA and not publicly available;

• conducted discussions with members of the senior management of Adagio and ARYA concerning the business, operations, historical financial results and financial prospects of Adagio and the Business Combination;

• reviewed current and historical market prices of the Class A ordinary shares;

• reviewed certain financial and market data of Adagio and compared that data with similar publicly available data for certain other companies similar to Adagio;

• reviewed certain pro forma effects relating to the Business Combination, including estimated transaction costs and the effects of anticipated financings, approved for Scalar’s use by ARYA; and

• conducted such other financial studies, analyses and investigations, and considered such other information, as Scalar deemed necessary or appropriate.

In performing its analyses and rendering its opinion, with ARYA’s consent, Scalar relied upon and assumed, without assuming liability or responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of information and data that was publicly available or was furnished, or otherwise made available to Scalar or discussed with or reviewed by Scalar. Scalar further relied upon the assurances of the management of ARYA that the financial information provided had been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and that they were not aware of any information, facts or circumstances that would make any information provided to Scalar inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any respect. Scalar also was advised by ARYA’s senior management, and Scalar assumed, that the financial projections and other prospective information, including, but not limited to, projections for the timely receipt of governmental, regulatory and other third-party approvals, represented a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate the future business and financial prospects of Adagio.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purpose of its opinion, Scalar assumed with respect to any financial forecasts, estimates, pro forma effects, and other forward-looking information reviewed by Scalar, that such information had been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of Adagio and ARYA as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of Adagio. Scalar assumed no responsibility for and expressed no opinion as to any such estimates, pro forma effects, or forward-looking information reviewed by Scalar or, in each case, the assumptions on which they were based. Scalar relied upon, with ARYA’s consent, (a) the assumptions of the management of Adagio and ARYA and third-party data sources, as to all accounting, legal, tax and financial reporting matters with respect to Adagio and (b) that ARYA had been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Business Combination, including whether all procedures required by law in connection with the Business Combination have been duly, validly and timely taken. Scalar also assumed that the Business Combination will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to Scalar by, representatives of Adagio or ARYA and that (i) the Mergers, the PIPE Financing and the exchange of the Bridge Financing Notes will collectively be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code, (ii) the Adagio Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and (iii) the Business Combination Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

148

Scalar is not a legal, accounting, regulatory or tax expert and its opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, taxation or accounting matters as to which Scalar understood that ARYA obtained such advice as it deemed necessary from qualified professionals, and Scalar assumed the accuracy and veracity of all assessments made by such advisors to Adagio or ARYA with respect to such matters.

In arriving at its opinion, with ARYA’s consent and without independent verification, Scalar relied upon the assumption that, except as would not be in any way meaningful to Scalar’s analysis: (a) the final form of each of the Reviewed Transaction Documents, as executed by the parties thereto, would not differ from the draft that Scalar reviewed, (b) the representations and warranties of all parties to the Business Combination Agreement, and any related Business Combination documents, are correct and that such parties will comply with and perform all covenants and agreements required to be complied with or performed by such parties under the Business Combination Agreement and any related Business Combination documents, (c) the Business Combination will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related Business Combination documents, without any waiver or amendment of any term or condition thereof, and (d) there had been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of any party to the Business Combination Agreement since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to Scalar. Additionally, Scalar assumed that all governmental, regulatory, or other third-party approvals and consents necessary for the consummation of the Business Combination or otherwise contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be obtained without delay, limitation, restriction or condition and otherwise in a way that will not have any adverse effect on Adagio or ARYA, or on the expected benefits of the Business Combination, in any way meaningful to Scalar’s analysis.

In addition, Scalar relied upon (without independent verification and without expressing any view, opinion, representation, guaranty or warranty (in each case, express or implied)) the assessments, judgments and estimates of ARYA’s senior management and Adagio’s senior management as to, among other things, (a) the potential impact on Adagio of market, competitive and other trends in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the industry in which Adagio operates and related industries, (b) Adagio’s existing and future products, technology and intellectual property and the associated risks thereto (including, without limitation, the probabilities and timing of successful development and marketing thereof; the timing of successful regulatory approvals and clearances; compliance with relevant regulatory requirements; prospective sales prices and sales volumes; and the potential impact of competition thereon) and (c) ARYA’s and Adagio’s existing and future relationships, agreements and arrangements with, and the ability to attract, retain and/or replace, key employees, suppliers and other commercial relationships (in each such case to the extent relevant to Adagio, the Business Combination and its contemplated benefits). Scalar assumed that there would not be any developments with respect to any of the foregoing matters that would have an adverse effect on ARYA, Adagio or the Business Combination (including the contemplated benefits thereof) or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to Scalar’s analyses or opinion.

Given ARYA’s nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of Scalar’s opinion and with ARYA’s consent, Scalar assumed a value of $11.17 per share of New Adagio Common Stock in calculating the value of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued as the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion) under the Business Combination Agreement, with such $11.17 per share value being based on (a) $41,210,838, which is the value of the assets held in the Trust Account as of February 7, 2024, divided by (b) 3,690,831, which is the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as of February 7, 2024. In rendering its opinion, Scalar did not express any view or opinion as to what the value of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be when issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the price or range of prices at which any Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares, shares of New Adagio Common Stock or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to ARYA may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Business Combination. Additionally, Scalar expressed no opinion with respect to the Sponsor Forfeited Shares (as defined below) or the Earn-Out Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Letter Agreement).

In arriving at its opinion, Scalar did not perform any appraisals or valuations of any specific assets or liabilities (fixed, contingent or other) of Adagio or ARYA and was not furnished or provided with any such appraisals or valuations, nor did Scalar evaluate the solvency of Adagio or ARYA under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. The analyses performed by Scalar in connection with its opinion were going concern analyses, assuming the Business Combination was consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Scalar did not undertake any

149

independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which Adagio or ARYA was a party or may be subject, and at ARYA’s direction and with ARYA’s consent, Scalar’s opinion made no assumption concerning, and therefore did not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes, liabilities or damages arising out of any such matters.

Scalar’s opinion was necessarily based upon financial, economic, monetary, market, and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, the information available to Scalar as of, and the facts and circumstances as they existed on, the date of Scalar’s written opinion and Scalar’s opinion speaks only as of such date; events occurring after that date could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing Scalar’s opinion. Scalar has not undertaken to update, reaffirm or revise its opinion or otherwise comment upon any events occurring after the date of Scalar’s written opinion, material information provided to Scalar after that date or any change in facts or circumstances occurring after that date, and Scalar does not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm its opinion.

Scalar’s opinion did not address ARYA’s underlying business decision to engage in the Business Combination, the relative merits of the Business Combination as compared to other business or investment strategies or transactions that might be available to ARYA or whether the Consideration to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders to the Business Combination Agreement represents the best price obtainable. In connection with Scalar’s engagement, Scalar was not requested to, and did not, solicit interest from other parties with respect to an acquisition of, or other business combination with, ARYA or any other alternative transaction. Scalar’s opinion addressed only the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date thereof, to the holders of Class A ordinary shares (other than the Excluded Parties) of the Consideration to be delivered to the Adagio Stockholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. Scalar was not asked to, and did not, offer any opinion as to the terms, other than the Consideration to the extent expressly specified therein, of the Business Combination Agreement or any related documents or the form of the Business Combination or any related transaction (including any agreement or transaction between any Excluded Party and Adagio or ARYA), including the fairness of the Business Combination to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, any Excluded Parties, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of ARYA, Adagio or any of their respective affiliates. Scalar was not asked to, and did not, offer any opinion with respect to any ongoing obligations of Adagio, ARYA, or any of their respective affiliates (including any obligations with respect to governance, appraisal rights, preemptive rights, registration rights, voting rights, or otherwise) contained in any Reviewed Transaction Document or any other agreement related to the Business Combination or under applicable law, any allocation of the Consideration (or any portion thereof) or the fair market value of Adagio, ARYA, any ARYA Shares or the Adagio Shares. In addition, Scalar expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Business Combination, any Excluded Parties or any class of such persons, whether relative to the Consideration or otherwise. Scalar’s opinion (a) did not address the individual circumstances of specific holders of ARYA securities (including Class B ordinary shares) with respect to rights or aspects which may distinguish such holders or ARYA’s securities (including Class B ordinary shares) held by such holders, (b) did not address, take into consideration or give effect to any existing or future rights, preferences, restrictions or limitations or other attributes of any such securities (including Class B ordinary shares) or holders (including the Sponsor), (c) did not address any impact of the Business Combination on any particular holder of Class A ordinary shares, other than in its capacity as a holder of Class A ordinary shares, and (d) did not in any way address proportionate allocation or relative fairness (including, without limitation, the allocation of any consideration among or within any classes or groups of security holders or other constituents of ARYA or any other party). Scalar also did not address, or express a view with respect to, any acquisition of control or effective control of ARYA by any shareholder or group of shareholders of Adagio. Scalar’s opinion should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty of Scalar (or any of its affiliates) to any party.

Scalar’s opinion was provided for the benefit of the ARYA Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with, and for the purpose of, its evaluation of the Business Combination and does not constitute a recommendation to any shareholder as to how such shareholder should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Business Combination or any other matter.

Summary of Scalar’s Financial Analysis

The following is a summary of the material financial analyses delivered by Scalar to the ARYA Board in connection with rendering the opinion described above. The summary set forth below does not purport to be a complete description of the financial analyses performed or factors considered by, and underlying the opinion of, Scalar, nor does the order of the financial analyses described represent the relative importance or weight

150

given to those financial analyses by Scalar. Scalar may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable than other assumptions, so the reference ranges resulting from any particular portion of the analyses summarized below should not be taken to be Scalar’s view of the actual value of Adagio. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses set forth below include information presented in tabular format. In order to fully understand the financial analyses, the tables must be read together with the text of each summary, as the tables alone do not constitute a complete description of the financial analyses performed by Scalar. Considering the data in the tables below without considering all financial analyses or factors or the full narrative description of such analyses or factors, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying such analyses or factors, could create a misleading or incomplete view of the processes underlying Scalar’s financial analyses and its opinion.

In performing its analyses, Scalar made numerous assumptions with respect to industry performance, general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the control of ARYA, Adagio or any other parties to the Business Combination. Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by these analyses. Because these analyses are inherently subject to uncertainty, being based upon numerous factors or events beyond the control of the parties or their respective advisors, none of the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, Scalar or any other person assumes responsibility if future results are materially different from those forecasted. In addition, these analyses do not purport to be appraisals or reflect the prices at which businesses or securities may actually be sold. Accordingly, the assumptions and estimates used in, and the results derived from, the financial analyses are inherently subject to substantial uncertainty. Except as otherwise noted, the following quantitative information, to the extent that it is based on market data, is based on market data as it existed on February 11, 2024, and is not necessarily indicative of current market conditions.

Implied Value of New Adagio Common Stock

Given ARYA’s nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of Scalar’s opinion and with ARYA’s consent, Scalar implied a value of $11.17 per share of New Adagio Common Stock in calculating the value of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued as the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion) under the Business Combination Agreement, with such $11.17 per share implied value being based on (a) $41,210,838, which is the value of the assets held in the Trust Account as of February 7, 2024, divided by (b) 3,690,831, which is the number of outstanding Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption as of February 7, 2024. In rendering its opinion, Scalar did not express any view or opinion as to what the value of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be when issued pursuant to the Business Combination or the price or range of prices at which the Class A ordinary shares, Class B ordinary shares, shares of New Adagio Common Stock or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to ARYA may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Business Combination. For purposes of Scalar’s opinion and this summary, the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion) consisted of shares of New Adagio Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to $24,000,000, subject to certain adjustments (as to which Scalar expressed no opinion), with a stated value of $10.00 per share of New Adagio Common Stock.

Pro Forma Consideration Analysis

Utilizing pro forma ownership information provided by the management of ARYA and the assumptions described above (including the implied value of $11.17 per share of New Adagio Common Stock), Scalar calculated the aggregate implied value of the pro forma outstanding shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption were excluded from the calculation because Scalar did not consider them to be dilutive to the Business Combination. The Earn-Out Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Letter Agreement) were also excluded from the calculation because they are subject to price-based vesting. These calculations are summarized below:

	# of Shares	Consideration Value
ARYA Class A Ordinary	3,337,838	$0
ARYA Private Placement	499,000	$5,571,701
ARYA Sponsor Class B Ordinary	1,500,000	$16,748,601
ARYA Founders Shares	90,000	$1,004,916
ARYA Sponsor Working Capital Ordinary	350,000	$3,908,007

151

	# of Shares	Consideration Value
Earn-Out	1,147,500	$0
PIPE Common	5,543,978	$61,902,583
PIPE Class B Promote Common	1,000,000	$11,165,734
PIPE Warrant	5,400,000	$60,294,965
Convertible Debt Warrants	833,333	$9,304,779
Company Rollover Equity	2,400,000	$26,797,762
Company Options	7,137	$79,686
Cash Transaction Fees	N/A	$15,285,101
Fully-Diluted Value of Transaction Consideration	21,108,786	$212,063,837
Adjustment for PIPE Proceeds		($45,011,996)
Adjustment for Option & Warrant Exercise Proceeds		($62,393,449)
Total Value of the Transaction Consideration		$104,658,392

Based on the pro forma information approved for Scalar’s use by ARYA, this implied a pro forma total value of the transaction consideration of $104,658,392.

Sponsor Forfeited and Earn-Out Shares

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ARYA, the Sponsor, the Insiders, ListCo and Adagio entered into the Sponsor Letter Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Sponsor and each Other Class B Shareholder agreed to, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, to waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Existing Governing Documents or any other anti-dilution or similar protection, in each case, with respect to the Class B ordinary shares owned by him, her or it, in connection with the transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement and (b) the Sponsor has agreed to, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of ARYA Merger Effective Time, (i) forfeit a number of the Class B ordinary shares owned by him, her or it (with such number of Class B ordinary shares so forfeited determined pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement) (the “Sponsor Forfeited Shares”) and (ii) subject 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock into which its Class B ordinary shares are exchanged as a result of the ARYA Merger (with such number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock determined pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement) to certain vesting conditions, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sponsor Letter Agreement. Scalar expressed no opinion with respect to the Sponsor Forfeited Shares or the Earn-Out Shares (as defined in the Sponsor Letter Agreement).

Selected Precedent Financings and M&A Transactions Analysis

Scalar performed a selected precedent financings and M&A transactions analysis, which is designed to imply a value for a company based on publicly available financial terms of the selected financings and M&A transactions that share some characteristics with the Business Combination. Scalar selected these financings and M&A transactions based on information obtained by searching SEC filings, public company disclosures, press releases, equity research reports, industry and popular press reports, databases and other sources.

The precedent financings were selected using the following criteria: (a) the financing closed after January 1, 2019, (b) the post-money valuation of the company receiving financing was greater than $50 million, (c) the total amount of financing was greater than $20 million, (d) the company receiving financing operates in the “atrial fibrillation,” “ventricular tachycardia,” “ventricular tachycardia treatment,” “afib,” “electrophysiology,” “electrophysiologists,” “catheter ablation,” “ablation” and “cryoablation technology” sectors, and (e) in the event a company had multiple financing transactions that satisfied (a)-(d), Scalar utilized the most recent financing transaction of such company. The precedent M&A transactions were selected using the following criteria: (i) the transaction closed on or after January 1, 2014, (ii) the transaction was for acquisition of a majority stake in the target company, (iii) the target company operates in the healthcare equipment and supplies industry, specifically, “atrial fibrillation,” “afib,” “a-fib” or “electrophysiology” sectors, and (iv) the target company did not have revenue at the time of the reported transaction closing date. In selecting financings and M&A transactions, Scalar did not include every financing and/or M&A transaction that fit within the foregoing criteria, but rather focused on selecting the 5 to 10 financings and M&A transactions that, in the judgment of Scalar, were most comparable to the Business

152

Combination. Therefore, where the valuation implied by a particular financing or M&A transaction was, in the judgement of Scalar, an outlier based on other financings and M&A transactions reviewed, such financing or M&A transaction was excluded from the analysis.

No financings or M&A transactions used in the analysis of comparable financings and M&A transactions is identical to the Business Combination. In evaluating the precedent financings and M&A transactions, Scalar made judgments and assumptions with regard to general business, market and financial conditions and other matters, which are beyond its control. These include, among other things, the impact of competition on the business of Adagio or the industry generally, industry growth and the absence of any adverse material change in the financial condition of Adagio or the industry or in the financial markets in general, which could affect the public trading value of the companies and the aggregate value and equity value of the financings and M&A transactions to which they are being compared.

The information and financial data of the below selected precedent financings were based on the most recent publicly available information and PitchBook. The selected financings and corresponding financial data included the following:

($ in millions) Selected Company Name	Investment Date	Venture Capital Round	Investment Series	% Ownership Purchased	Investment Total To Date	Investment Amount	Pre-Money	Post-Money
Conformal	06/05/23	4th Round	Series D	13%	$133.95	$35.00	$240.00	$275.00
CardioFocus	02/23/23	12th Round	Series CC	42%	$268.99	$27.16	$37.84	$65.00
Ablacon	12/04/20	3rd Round	Series B	33%	$68.45	$30.00	$60.00	$90.00
Eko	11/09/20	4th Round	Series C	32%	$92.07	$65.00	$140.00	$205.00
Venclose	11/27/19	3rd Round	Series C	29%	$44.92	$27.10	$65.90	$93.00
Acutus Medical	06/20/19	4th Round	Series D	38%	$321.95	$192.82	$200.00	$392.82
Farapulse	01/17/19	6th Round	Series B	36%	$95.75	$39.00	$70.00	$109.00

Taking into account the results of the selected precedent financings analysis, Scalar (a) observed a minimum pre-money equity value of $37,840,000 and a maximum of $240,000,000 and (b) calculated (i) the 25^th percentile of pre-money equity values to be $62,950,000, (ii) the 75^th percentile of pre-money equity values to be $170,000,000, (iii) the median of such pre-money equity values to be $70,000,000 and (iv) the mean of such pre-money equity values to be $116,249,000. Adjusting for cash from financings, the selected precedent financings analysis indicated an implied total equity value reference range for Adagio of approximately $61,500,000 to $168,600,000, with a mid-point of $114,800,000, as compared to the implied pro forma total value of the transaction consideration of $104,658,392.

Scalar noted that the implied pro forma total value of the transaction consideration was within the above reference range, which, in Scalar’s view, supported its assessment of the financial fairness of the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion).

153

The information and financial data of the below selected precedent M&A transactions were based on the most recent publicly available information and S&P Capital IQ. The selected precedent M&A transactions and corresponding financial data included the following:

($ in millions) Selected Target / Acquirer Name	Transaction Date	Transaction Price	Earnout Payment	Initial Payment	% Sought / Acquired	Implied Equity Value	Implied Enterprise Value	Bridge	Initial Payment Enterprise Value

Taking into account the results of the selected precedent M&A transactions analysis, Scalar (a) observed a minimum initial payment enterprise value of $175,000,000 and a maximum of $688,100,000 and (b) calculated (i) the 25^th percentile of initial payment enterprise values to be $224,000,000, (ii) the 75^th percentile of initial payment enterprise values to be $335,000,000, (iii) the median of such initial payment enterprise values to be $280,400,000 and (iv) the mean of such initial payment enterprise values to be $330,500,000. Adjusting for debt, non-control discounts and cash, the selected precedent M&A transactions analysis indicated an implied total equity value reference range for Adagio of approximately $121,900,000 to $154,900,000, with a mid-point of $138,400,000, as compared to the implied pro forma total value of the transaction consideration of $104,658,392.

Scalar noted that the implied pro forma total value of the transaction consideration was lower than the lower end of the above reference range, which, in Scalar’s view, supported its assessment of the financial fairness of the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion).

Implied Pro Forma Share Value Analysis

Utilizing pro forma ownership information provided by the management of ARYA and the assumptions described above, Scalar calculated the implied pro forma value of a share of New Adagio Common Stock after giving effect to the Business Combination. This analysis took into consideration the impact of the pro forma dilution described above in calculating the implied pro forma total value of the transaction consideration. These calculations are summarized below:

	Implied Pro Forma Value per New Adagio Common Share
Selected Analyses	Low	Middle	High
Selected Financings – Pre-Money Valuation	$6.71	$10.23	$12.80
Selected M&A Transactions – Adjusted Equity Value	$10.57	$11.36	$12.14

154

Scalar noted that the implied pro forma value per share of New Adagio Common Stock of $11.17 was within the reference ranges calculated in the selected precedent financings and M&A transactions analyses described above, which, in Scalar’s view, supported its assessment of the financial fairness of the Consideration (as defined in Scalar’s opinion).

General

The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Selecting portions of the analyses or of the summary set forth above, without considering the analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying Scalar’s opinion. In arriving at its fairness determination, Scalar considered the results of all of its analyses and did not attribute any particular weight to any factor or analysis considered by it. Rather, Scalar made its determination as to fairness on the basis of its experience and professional judgment after considering the results of all of its analyses. No company or transaction used in the above analyses as a comparison is directly comparable to Adagio or the Business Combination.

Scalar’s financial analyses and opinion were only one of many factors taken into consideration by ARYA Board in its evaluation of the Business Combination. Consequently, the analyses described above should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the ARYA Board or management of ARYA with respect to the Consideration or as to whether the ARYA Board would have been willing to determine that different consideration was fair. The consideration for the transaction was determined through arm’s-length negotiations between ARYA and Adagio and was approved by the ARYA Board. Scalar did not advise the ARYA Board during these negotiations, nor did it recommend any specific amount of consideration to ARYA or the ARYA Board or that any specific amount of consideration constituted the only appropriate consideration for the Business Combination. The foregoing summary does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses performed by Scalar in connection with the fairness opinion and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the written opinion of Scalar attached hereto as Annex X.

Scalar and its affiliates are engaged in transaction advisory, financial reporting, litigation consulting, tax and other financial and non-financial activities and services for various persons and entities. Scalar was engaged by ARYA to render its opinion to the ARYA Board and Scalar received a fee of $200,000 from ARYA for providing its services and rendering its opinion. No portion of these fees was refundable or contingent upon the consummation of the Business Combination or the conclusion reached in Scalar’s opinion. ARYA has also agreed to indemnify Scalar against certain liabilities and reimburse Scalar for certain expenses in connection with Scalar’s services. In the past two years, Scalar and its affiliates have not provided any other advisory services to ARYA or its affiliates, for which Scalar and its affiliates received compensation. Scalar and its affiliates may seek to provide services to Adagio, ARYA and their respective affiliates in the future and expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services. In the ordinary course of business, certain of Scalar’s employees and affiliates, or entities in which they have invested, may hold or trade, for their own accounts and the accounts of their investors, securities of Adagio and ARYA and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

The issuance of Scalar’s opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Scalar.

The ARYA Board selected Scalar to provide its opinion in connection with the Business Combination based on Scalar’s reputation and experience. Scalar is a valuation firm that has substantial experience in transactions similar to the Business Combination.

Satisfaction of 80% Test

It is a requirement under the Existing Governing Documents that any business acquired by ARYA have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance of the funds in the Trust Account at the time of the execution of a definitive agreement for an initial business combination. Based on the financial analysis of Adagio generally used to approve the transaction, the ARYA Board determined that this requirement was met. The ARYA Board determined that the consideration being paid in the Business Combination, which amount was negotiated at arms-length, was fair to and in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and appropriately reflected Adagio’s value. In reaching this determination, the ARYA Board concluded that it was appropriate to base such valuation in part on qualitative factors such as management strength and depth, competitive positioning, customer relationships, and technical skills, as well as quantitative factors such as Adagio’s potential for future growth in revenue and profits. The ARYA Board believes that the financial skills and background of its members qualify it to conclude that the acquisition of adagio met this requirement.

Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the ARYA Board in favor of approval of the Business Combination Proposal, you should keep in mind that the initial shareholders, including ARYA’s directors and our executive officers have interests in such proposal that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests include that our initial shareholders will lose their entire investment in us if our initial business combination is not completed (other than with respect to Public Shares they may have acquired or may acquire in the future), and that the initial shareholders will benefit from the completion of a business combination and may be incentivized to complete the Business Combination, even if it is with a less favorable target company or on less favorable terms to shareholders, rather than liquidate ARYA. Further, the personal and financial interests of the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, which is an investor in Adagio prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, as well as ARYA’s executive officers and directors may have influenced their motivation in identifying and selecting Adagio as a business combination target, completing the Business Combination with Adagio and influencing the operation of the business following the Business Combination. In considering the recommendations of the ARYA Board to vote for the proposals, ARYA shareholders should consider these interests as well as, among other things, the interests described below:

• the fact that the initial shareholders, including the Sponsor and certain of ARYA’s officers and directors (including those that are members of the Sponsor), have invested in ARYA an aggregate of $5,015,000, comprised of the $25,000 purchase price for 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares and the $4,990,000 purchase price for 499,000 Private Placement Shares. Subsequent to the initial purchase of the Class B ordinary shares by the Sponsor, the Sponsor transferred to each of the three independent directors 30,000 Class B ordinary shares for $0.007 per share. Such shares will have a significant higher value at the time of the Business Combination or be worthless if the Business Combination is not consummated and ARYA is liquidated. Further, in connection with the PIPE Financing, the Sponsor will forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares, which will be issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and will subject 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, as further described in this proxy statement/prospectus. Assuming a trading price of $11.35 per share of New Adagio Common Stock (based upon the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market on May 9, 2024), such 2,089,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are expected to be issued to our initial shareholders at Closing (excluding the 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to Trigger Price Vesting and subtracting the 1,000,000 Incentive Shares issued by ListCo to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, by the Sponsor) would have an implied aggregate market value of $23,710,150. Even if the trading price of the New Adagio Common Stock were as low as approximately $2.40 per share, the aggregate market value of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by the initial shareholders would be approximately equal to the initial investment in ARYA by the initial shareholders. Therefore, the Sponsor and its affiliates could earn a positive rate of return on their investments, even if other ARYA shareholders experience a negative rate of return in New Adagio and ARYA’s directors and officers and the Sponsor may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate an initial business combination;

	Shares Held by Initial Shareholders	Initial Shareholders’ Cost at ARYA’s Initial Public Offering
Class B ordinary shares	3,737,500	$25,000

Does not include (i) up to 370,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Sponsor upon the contribution of the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes at Closing and (ii) 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, which will be issuable to the Sponsor subject to the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Assumes the Sponsor’s forfeiture to ARYA and ListCo’s issuance to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor, of 1,000,000 Incentive Shares. Does not include shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to affiliates of the Sponsor, including: (i) approximately 5,024,151 shares of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor in connection with the PIPE Financing, including the contribution of the Bridge Financing Notes, the conversion of the Adagio Convertible Notes held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the Closing Date (which is assumed to be 4 months after execution of the Business Combination Agreement) and approximately 3,728,470 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants at $10.00 per share, (ii) the issuance of 81,170 shares New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of shares in Adagio held by the Perceptive PIPE Investor prior to Closing, and (iii) 1,250,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon conversion of the Perceptive PIPE Investor’s New Adagio Convertible Notes at $10.00 per share and 937,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Perceptive PIPE Investor upon exercise of the Convert Warrants at $24.00 per share (assuming no Additional Financing is raised between signing of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement and Closing). For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

• the right of the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor to hold shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the Business Combination, subject to the terms and conditions of the lock-up restrictions.

159

In addition, certain existing directors and executive officers of Adagio and certain persons who are expected to become New Adagio directors after the completion of the Business Combination may have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of the ARYA shareholders. See “—Interests of Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” and “—Interests of New Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination” for more information.

At any time at or prior to the Business Combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Any purchases by the Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

• if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

160

• our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the General Meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

• the amount of the Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

• the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

• the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

• the number of our Public Shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

Interests of Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the ARYA Board in favor of approval of the proposals, you should keep in mind that Adagio’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests, among other things, are discussed in “Adagio Executive Compensation–Interests of Adagio’s Directors and Officers in the Business Combination.”

Interests of New Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

When you consider the recommendation of the ARYA Board in favor of approval of the proposals, you should keep in mind that New Adagio’s directors and executive officers have interests in such proposals that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests, among other things, are discussed in “Adagio Executive Compensation—Interests of Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination.”

Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences

For a detailed discussion of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the ARYA Merger to Public Shareholders and the exercise of redemption rights with respect to Public Shares, see the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Anticipated Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a forward-merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ListCo will be treated as the “accounting acquirer” and Adagio as the “accounting acquiree” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC 805, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. As such, under the acquisition method of accounting, ListCo’s assets and liabilities will retain their carrying amounts and the assets and liabilities of Adagio, including any intangible assets recognized in connection with the Business Combination, will be recorded at their fair values, which are measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill.

Regulatory Approvals Required

The Business Combination is not subject to any additional federal or state regulatory requirement or approval, except for (i) filings with the State of Delaware necessary to effectuate the Business Combination, (ii) the filing of

161

the Plan of Merger and such other documents as may be required in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Cayman Companies Law, with the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands and (iii) filings of solicitation materials required pursuant to Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Business Combination Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposal.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution that, subject to the approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal, ARYA’s entry into the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2024 (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and among ARYA, Aja HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation and, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and, prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware Corporation and, prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”) and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Adagio”), a copy of which is attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex A, pursuant to which, among others:

162

(C)
On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time, Adagio will also cause (A) each warrant of Adagio to be either (x) terminated, or (y) “net” exercised in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Adagio (“Adagio Common Stock”), determined in accordance with the terms of the applicable warrant agreement, (B) all issued and outstanding unsecured convertible promissory notes of Adagio (excluding the Bridge Financing Notes) (the “Adagio Convertible Notes”), including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, to be automatically and fully converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Adagio Convertible Notes (the “Adagio Convertible Note Conversion”) and such Adagio Convertible Notes shall be canceled, satisfied, extinguished, discharged and retired in connection with such conversion, and (C) each share of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Adagio (“Adagio Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time to be automatically converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock (the “Adagio Preferred Stock Conversion”).

Recommendation of the ARYA Board

THE ARYA BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE ARYA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE

“FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

164

PROPOSAL 2: ARYA MERGER PROPOSAL

Overview

In connection with the Business Combination, ARYA is requesting that its shareholders vote upon a proposal to, by special resolution, authorize the merger of ARYA Merger Sub with and into ARYA (the “ARYA Merger”), with ARYA surviving the ARYA Merger and, after giving effect to the ARYA Merger, becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo, approve the Plan of Merger, authorize the entry by ARYA into the Plan of Merger and approve the amendment and restatement of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of ARYA, as amended (as the surviving company of the ARYA Merger) in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents and the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

Reasons for the ARYA Merger Proposal

As further described in the Business Combination Proposal, shareholders of ARYA will become shareholders of ListCo in connection with the Business Combination and ARYA will continue to exist as a wholly owned subsidiary of New Adagio following the consummation of the Business Combination. As a subsidiary of New Adagio, ARYA will cease to be a blank check company with public reporting obligations with the SEC. Shareholders are being asked to adopt the ARYA Merger Proposal described herein to facilitate the governance of ARYA, as a subsidiary of New Adagio, following the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Existing Governing Documents set forth various provisions related to ARYA’s status as a blank check company prior to the consummation of a business combination, including a provision that provides that, if ARYA does not consummate a business combination by the Termination Date, ARYA shall cease all operations except for the purposes of winding up and shall redeem the Public Shares and liquidate the Trust Account. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Organizational Documents in connection with the ARYA Merger Proposal will make ARYA’s existence perpetual and will remove other provisions related to ARYA’s status as a blank check company, which will become irrelevant following the consummation of the Business Combination and due to the post-Business Combination status of ARYA as a subsidiary of New Adagio.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the ARYA Merger Proposal requires a special resolution under Cayman Islands law, being the affirmative vote of at least a two-thirds (2/3) majority of the votes cast by the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Under the terms of the Existing Governing Documents, the proposed amendments to the provisions of the Existing Governing Documents governing the appointment or removal of directors prior to ARYA’s initial business combination may only be amended by a special resolution passed by holders representing at least two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding Class B ordinary shares who attend and vote in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The ARYA Merger Proposal is conditioned upon the approval and adoption of the other Condition Precedent Proposal.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as a special resolution, that, subject to the approval of the Business Combination Proposal:

(A)
ARYA be, and hereby is, authorized to merge with ARYA Merger Sub, so that ARYA be the surviving company of such merger and all the undertakings, property, rights, privileges, agreements, powers and franchises, liabilities and duties of ARYA Merger Sub vest in ARYA by virtue of such merger, pursuant to the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands and the Plan of Merger (as defined below);

(B)
the plan of merger, by and among ARYA, ARYA Merger Sub and ListCo, in the form attached to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus as Annex E, subject to such amendments as may be approved by any director of ARYA, including the annexures thereto (the “Plan of Merger”) be, and hereby is, authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects;

165

(C)
ARYA be, and hereby is, authorized to enter into the Plan of Merger; and

(D)
ARYA amend and restate its memorandum and articles of association, as amended, in the form attached to the Plan of Merger with effect from the effective time of such merger.”

Recommendation of the ARYA Board

THE ARYA BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT ARYA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE

“FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ARYA MERGER PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA’s officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

166

PROPOSAL 3: DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL

Overview

The ARYA Board is divided into three classes with only one class of directors being elected in each year and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting of shareholders) serving a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Leslie Trigg, will expire at this General Meeting. The term of office of our second class of directors will expire at the next annual general meeting. The term of office of the third class of directors will expire at the third annual general meeting.

At the General Meeting, the Class I director will be elected to the ARYA Board to serve for the ensuing three-year period or until her successor is elected or appointed and qualified or such person's earlier resignation or removal. The ARYA Board has nominated Ms. Trigg for re-election as a Class I director, to hold office for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual general meeting after her election, or until her successor is elected or appointed and qualified. The biography of this director is set forth in the section titled “Business of ARYA and Certain Information About ARYA — Directors and Executive Officers.

Vote Required for Approval

Approval of the Director Election Proposal requires an ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares. Only holders of Class B ordinary shares may vote on the appointment of directors. Our initial shareholders hold the outstanding Class B ordinary shares, and accordingly will be able to approve the Director Election Proposal without the further vote of any other shareholder.

The Director Election Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution of the holders of the Class B ordinary shares, that the election of Leslie Trigg as a Class I director to serve for a term expiring at the third succeeding annual general meeting after her election or until her successor is duly elected, or appointed and qualified, be and hereby is authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the ARYA Board

THE ARYA BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT HOLDERS OF THE CLASS B ORDINARY SHARES VOTE

“FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE DIRECTOR ELECTION PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA's directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals. In addition, ARYA's officers have interests in the Business Combination that may conflict with your interests as a shareholder. See the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” for a further discussion of these considerations.

167

PROPOSAL 4: ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

Overview

The Adjournment Proposal allows the ARYA Board to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals; (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for filing or mailing of any legally required supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus; or (iii) if the holders of Public Shares have elected to redeem an amount of shares such that the New Adagio Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

Consequences if the Adjournment Proposal is Not Approved

If the Adjournment Proposal is presented to the General Meeting and is not approved by the shareholders, the ARYA Board may not be able to adjourn the General Meeting to a later date in the event that, based on the tabulated votes, there are not sufficient votes at the time of the General Meeting to approve the Condition Precedent Proposals or in the event that ARYA shareholders redeem an amount of Public Shares such that the New Adagio Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law, being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by, or on behalf of, the holders of the issued ARYA Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the General Meeting and entitled to vote on such matter. Abstentions and broker non-votes, while considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum, will not count as votes cast at the General Meeting, and otherwise will have no effect on the proposal.

The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned on any other proposal.

Resolution

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the adjournment of the General Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or convenient, (i) to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies for the purpose of obtaining approval of the Condition Precedent Proposals, (ii) to allow reasonable additional time for filing or mailing of any legally required supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus or (iii) if the holders of the Public Shares have elected to redeem such number of shares such that the New Adagio Common Stock would not be approved for listing on a U.S. stock exchange authorized, approved and confirmed in all respects.”

Recommendation of the ARYA Board

THE ARYA BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT ARYA SHAREHOLDERS VOTE

“FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL.

The existence of financial and personal interests of one or more of ARYA’s directors may result in a conflict of interest on the part of such director(s) between what he or they may believe is in the best interests of ARYA and its shareholders and what he or they may believe is best for himself, herself or themselves in determining to recommend that shareholders vote for the proposals.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to Public Shareholders in connection with the (i) ARYA Merger, (ii) exercise of redemption rights, and (iii) the ownership and disposition of shares of New Adagio Common Stock received in the ARYA Merger. This discussion applies only to Public Shareholders who hold their Public Shares, or will hold their shares of New Adagio Common Stock, as applicable, as capital assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes (generally, property held for investment). This discussion is a summary only and does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to particular holders in light of their particular circumstances or status including:

• financial institutions or financial services entities;

• brokers, dealers or traders in securities or foreign currency;

• S corporations;

• taxpayers that are subject to the mark-to-market accounting rules;

• tax-exempt entities;

• pension funds;

• governments or agencies or instrumentalities thereof;

• insurance companies;

• regulated investment companies or real estate investment trusts;

• expatriates, former citizens or former long-term residents of the United States;

• persons that actually or constructively own five percent or more of our voting shares or five percent or more of the total value of all classes of ARYA or New Adagio shares (except as specifically addressed below);

• persons that acquired our securities pursuant to an exercise of employee share options, in connection with employee share incentive plans or otherwise as compensation;

• individual retirement and other tax deferred accounts;

• persons that hold our securities as part of a “straddle,” constructive sale, hedging, conversion or other integrated or similar transaction;

• persons who purchase or sell their shares as part of a wash sale for tax purposes;

• U.S. Holders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

• partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests in such entities;

• controlled foreign corporations or passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”);

• persons who purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock as part of the PIPE Financing or receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock as part of the Bridge Financing;

• the Sponsor and its affiliates;

• persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; or

• accrual method taxpayers that file applicable financial statements as described in Section 451(b) of the Code.

This discussion is based on current U.S. federal income tax laws, including the Code, administrative pronouncements, judicial decisions and final, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations, all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, which may affect the U.S. federal income tax consequences described herein. Furthermore, this discussion does not address any aspect of U.S. federal non-income tax laws, such as gift, estate or Medicare contribution tax laws, or state, local or non-U.S. tax laws. We have not sought, and will not seek,

169

a ruling from the IRS as to any U.S. federal income tax consideration described herein. The IRS may disagree with the discussion herein, and its determination may be upheld by a court. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future legislation, regulations, administrative rulings or court decisions will not adversely affect the accuracy of the statements in this discussion.

This discussion does not consider the U.S. federal income tax treatment of partnerships or other pass-through entities or persons who hold ARYA, or will hold New Adagio, securities through such entities. If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of ARYA, or will hold New Adagio, securities, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partner and the partnership. If you are a partnership or a partner of a partnership holding Public Shares or will hold shares of New Adagio Common Stock, you are urged to consult your tax advisor.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of Public Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock, as applicable, and is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

• an individual citizen or resident of the United States;

• a corporation (or other entity that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

• an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

• a trust if (i) a U.S. court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

For purposes of this discussion, a “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner (other than a partnership or entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Public Shares or New Adagio Common Stock that is not a U.S. Holder.

EACH PUBLIC SHAREHOLDER SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO SUCH HOLDER OF THE ARYA MERGER, AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF NEW ADAGIO COMMON STOCK RECEIVED IN THE ARYA MERGER, AS APPLICABLE, INCLUDING THE EFFECTS OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL AND NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

Tax Consequences of the ARYA Merger and Exercising Redemption Rights

ARYA Merger in General

Subject to the limitations, assumptions, and qualifications described herein and in the opinion filed as Exhibit 8.1 to the Registration Statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part, and based on customary tax representations to be obtained from ARYA, ListCo, and Adagio, it is the opinion of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, counsel to ARYA, that the ARYA Merger should, when taken together with the related transactions in the Business Combination, qualify as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Section 351 Exchange”). The provisions of Section 351 of the Code are complex, and qualification as a non-recognition transaction thereunder could be adversely affected by events or actions that occur following the consummation of the ARYA Merger and the related transactions in the Business Combination that are beyond ARYA’s control. The qualification of the ARYA Merger as a Section 351 Exchange is therefore not free from doubt. For example, if more than 20% of the shares of common stock of New Adagio were, in the aggregate and at the time of their issuance in the Business Combination, subject to one or more arrangements or agreements to be sold or disposed of, one of the requirements to qualify as a Section 351 Exchange would not be met. The Closing is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the ARYA Merger (or any of the transactions in the Business Combination) qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange, and neither ARYA nor ListCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination (including the ARYA Merger), and the IRS or a court could take a different position from that described herein.

The ARYA Merger may also independently qualify for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code (a “Reorganization”). Under Section 368(a) of the Code, a transaction must satisfy certain requirements to qualify as a Reorganization, including, among others, that the acquiring corporation (or, in

170

the case of certain reorganizations structured like the ARYA Merger, New Adagio) must continue, either directly or indirectly through certain controlled corporations, either a significant line of the acquired corporation’s historic business or use a significant portion of the acquired corporation’s historic business assets in a business, in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(d). However, due to the absence of guidance bearing directly on how the above rules apply in the case of an acquisition of a corporation with only investment-type assets, such as ARYA, there is no assurance that the ARYA Merger should qualify as a Reorganization. Moreover, the qualification of the ARYA Merger as a Reorganization is based on facts which will not be known until at or after the Closing, including certain requirements that could depend on the amount of cash used to redeem Public Shares prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. As a result, no opinion is being provided as to whether the ARYA Merger constitutes a Reorganization. The Closing is not conditioned upon the receipt of an opinion of counsel that the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Reorganization, and, as noted above, neither ARYA nor ListCo intends to request a ruling from the IRS regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Business Combination (including the ARYA Merger). No assurance can be given that the ARYA Merger should qualify as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization. U.S. Holders and non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the proper U.S. federal income tax treatment of the ARYA Merger, including with respect to its qualification as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization.

Effects of the ARYA Merger on U.S. Holders

If the ARYA Merger qualifies either as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below in the section entitled “— Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders,” a U.S. Holder that exchanges Public Shares for shares of New Adagio Common Stock in the ARYA Merger should not recognize gain or loss. The aggregate tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock received by such U.S. Holder should be the same as the aggregate adjusted tax basis of the Public Shares exchanged therefor. A U.S. Holder’s holding period in the shares of New Adagio Common Stock received should include the holding period of the Public Shares exchanged therefor.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE ARYA MERGER.

Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders

Whether or not the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization, U.S. Holders who exchange Public Shares for New Adagio Common Stock pursuant to the ARYA Merger may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences under the PFIC rules. In addition, a U.S. Holder who elects to have its Public Shares redeemed for cash pursuant to the redemption provisions may be subject to the PFIC rules.

A foreign (i.e., non-U.S.) corporation (such as ARYA) will be classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes if either (i) at least 75% of its gross income in a taxable year, including its pro rata share of the gross income of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, is passive income or (ii) at least 50% of its assets in a taxable year (ordinarily determined based on fair market value and averaged quarterly over the year), including its pro rata share of the assets of any corporation in which it is considered to own at least 25% of the shares by value, are held for the production of, or produce, passive income. Passive income generally includes dividends, interest, rents and royalties (other than rents or royalties derived from the active conduct of a trade or business) and gains from the disposition of passive assets. For purposes of these rules, interest income earned by ARYA would be considered passive income, and cash held by ARYA would be considered a passive asset.

Because ARYA is a blank check company with no current active business, based upon the composition of its income and assets, and upon a review of its financial statements, ARYA believes that it likely was a PFIC for its most recent taxable year ended on December 31, 2022 and will likely be considered a PFIC for the taxable year ended on December 31, 2023 and any other taxable year before or in which the Business Combination occurs. However, because of the inherently factual nature of the determination, and because the determination is an annual one based on income and assets of ARYA in each year, no opinion is being provided as to ARYA’s PFIC status for any taxable year.

171

If ARYA is determined to be a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder who did not make (i) a timely “qualified election fund,” or “QEF,” election under Section 1295 of the Code for ARYA’s first taxable year as a PFIC in which the U.S. Holder held (or was deemed to hold) Public Shares, (ii) a QEF election along with a “purging election,” or (iii) a “mark-to-market” election with respect to the Public Shares (hereinafter, each a “PFIC Election”), such holder generally will be subject to special rules with respect to “excess distributions,” generally applying to:

• any gain realized by the U.S. Holder on the sale or other disposition of its Public Shares; and

• any distributions to such U.S. Holder during a taxable year of the U.S. Holder that are greater than 125% of the average annual distributions received by such U.S. Holder in respect of the Public Shares during the three preceding taxable years of such U.S. Holder or, if shorter, such U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Public Shares.

Under these rules,

• the U.S. Holder’s excess distribution will be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Public Shares;

• the amount allocated to the U.S. Holder’s taxable year in which the U.S. Holder recognized the excess distribution, or to the period in the U.S. Holder’s holding period before the first day of ARYA’s first taxable year in which it qualified as a PFIC, will be taxed as ordinary income;

• the amount allocated to other taxable years (or portions thereof) of the U.S. Holder and included in its holding period will be taxed at the highest tax rate in effect for that year and applicable to the U.S. Holder; and

• the interest charge generally applicable to underpayments of tax will be imposed in respect of the tax attributable to each such other taxable year of the U.S. Holder.

In order to comply with the requirements of a QEF election, a U.S. Holder must receive certain information from ARYA, which ARYA intends to provide. However, there can be no assurance that ARYA will timely provide such information to U.S. holders going forward, including following the Business Combination.

Even if the ARYA Merger qualifies as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization, Section 1291(f) of the Code requires that, to the extent provided in regulations, a U.S. person that disposes of stock of a PFIC (including rights to acquire stock of a PFIC) must recognize gain notwithstanding any other provision of the Code. No final Treasury Regulations are in effect under Section 1291(f). Proposed Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f), or the “Proposed Regulations,” were promulgated in 1992, with a retroactive effective date once they become finalized. If finalized in their present form, the Proposed Regulations would require taxable gain recognition by a U.S. Holder with respect to its exchange of Public Shares for New Adagio Common Stock in the ARYA Merger if ARYA were classified as a PFIC at any time during such U.S. Holder’s holding period in Public Shares. Any such gain would be treated as an “excess distribution” made in the year of the ARYA Merger and subject to the special tax and interest charge rules discussed above. The foregoing would not apply to a U.S. Holder’s exchange of Public Shares pursuant to the ARYA Merger to the extent that such holder has made a timely PFIC Election with respect to said shares. It is not possible to determine at this time whether, in what form, and with what effective date, final Treasury Regulations under Section 1291(f) of the Code may be adopted or how any such Treasury Regulations would apply.

Furthermore, in the event that a U.S. Holder’s Public Shares are redeemed for cash pursuant to the redemption provisions described in this proxy statement/prospectus, whether the redemption is treated as a sale or exchange of Public Shares or as a distribution on the Public Shares, such deemed sale or exchange or distribution, as applicable, would be treated as a sale or disposition or distribution, as applicable, for purposes of the PFIC rules described above.

The rules dealing with PFICs are very complex and are affected by various factors in addition to those described above. Accordingly, a U.S. Holder of Public Shares should consult its tax advisor concerning PFIC elections and the application of the PFIC rules to such Public Shares under such holder’s particular circumstances.

ALL U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE PFIC RULES AND WHETHER A QEF ELECTION, A MARK-TO-MARKET ELECTION OR ANY OTHER ELECTION IS AVAILABLE AND THE CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF ANY SUCH ELECTION.

172

Effects of U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

In the event that a U.S. Holder’s Public Shares are redeemed for cash pursuant to such U.S. Holder’s exercise of redemption rights, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “—Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders,” the treatment of the redemption for U.S. federal income tax purposes depends on whether the redemption qualifies as a sale of the Public Shares under Section 302 of the Code. Whether a redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend largely on the total number of Public Shares treated as held by the U.S. Holder relative to all of the Public Shares outstanding both before and after the redemption. For this purpose, the shares outstanding after the redemption should take into account shares owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of the ARYA Merger.

The redemption of Public Shares generally will be treated as a sale of the Public Shares if the redemption (i) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in ARYA, (ii) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder or (iii) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder generally must take into account not only Public Shares actually owned by such U.S. Holder, but also Public Shares such U.S. Holder is treated as constructively owning. A U.S. Holder may be treated as constructively owning Public Shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any shares the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option.

There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (i) all of the Public Shares actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (ii) all of the Public Shares actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of shares owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other shares. In order to meet the “substantially disproportionate” test, the percentage of outstanding voting stock of ARYA actually or constructively owned by a U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption generally must be less than 80% of the voting stock of ARYA actually or constructively owned by such U.S. Holder immediately prior to the redemption. The redemption of the Public Shares will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if a U.S. Holder’s redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in ARYA. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in ARYA will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. However, the IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority shareholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” U.S. Holders should consult with their tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption.

If the redemption qualifies as a sale of stock by the U.S. Holder under Section 302 of the Code, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “—Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders,” the U.S. Holder would generally be required to recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between the amount of cash received and the tax basis of the Public Shares. Such gain or loss generally would be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if such shares were held for more than one year on the date of the redemption. A U.S. Holder’s tax basis in such holder’s Public Shares generally will equal the cost of such shares.

If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of stock under Section 302 of the Code, subject to the PFIC rules discussed below “—Effects of the PFIC Rules on U.S. Holders,” then the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution. Such distribution generally will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from current or accumulated earnings and profits of ARYA, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in such U.S. Holder’s Public Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Public Shares.

U.S. Holders who hold different blocks of shares (including as a result of holding different blocks of Public Shares purchased or acquired on different dates or at different prices) should consult their tax advisors to determine how the above rules apply to them.

173

Effects of the ARYA Merger on Non-U.S. Holders

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. Holder that exchanges Public Shares for shares of New Adagio Common Stock in the ARYA Merger generally corresponds to that of a U.S. Holder, and a non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on the exchange of Public Shares for shares of New Adagio common stock in the ARYA Merger, unless (i) the ARYA Merger does not qualify as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization; and (ii) (a) the gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, under certain income tax treaties, is attributable to a United States permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder), or (b) the non-U.S. holder is a non-resident alien individual present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the ARYA Merger takes place and certain other requirements are met, or (c) ARYA is or has been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the non-U.S. Holder held Public Shares and certain other conditions are met. ARYA believes that it is not and has not been at any time since its formation a United States real property holding corporation and does not expect to be a United States real property holding corporation immediately after the ARYA Merger is completed. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change, and no assurance can be provided as to whether New Adagio will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a non-U.S. Holder following the ARYA Merger or at any future time. Unless an applicable treaty provides otherwise, gain described in the first category above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates as if the non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. Holder. Any gains described in the first category above of a non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or lower income tax treaty rate).

ALL NON-U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE ARYA MERGER.

Effects to Non-U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a non-U.S. Holder’s Public Shares generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Public Shares, as described above. Subject to the discussion below under “— Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” to the extent that the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s Public Shares are treated as a corporate distribution paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), such distribution will constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividend is not effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, will be subject to U.S. withholding tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of thirty percent (30%), unless such Non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E). The withholding tax does not apply to dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder who provides an IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States. Instead, such effectively connected dividends will be subject to regular U.S. federal income tax as if the Non-U.S. Holder were a U.S. resident, subject to an applicable income tax treaty providing otherwise (and any additional requirements therein). A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is receiving effectively connected dividends may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” imposed at a rate of thirty percent (30%) (or a lower applicable income tax treaty rate).

Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Public Shares and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale of the Public Shares, as described below.

To the extent the redemption of a Non-U.S. Holder’s Public Shares are treated as a sale of stock by the Non-U.S. Holder under Section 302 of the Code, as discussed above under the section entitled “—Effects to U.S. Holders of Exercising Redemption Rights,” a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on such redemption unless such gain is effectively connected with such Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States or we have been a “United States real property holding corporation” during the applicable testing period. See additional discussion above under the heading “—Effects of the ARYA Merger on Non-U.S. Holders.”

174

ALL NON-U.S. HOLDERS ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF AN EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS.

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding with respect to Redemptions and the ARYA Merger

Following the Closing Date, New Adagio will prepare and file in accordance with Treasury Regulations (including by posting a copy on the investor relations section of its website) an IRS Form 8937 with respect to the Business Combination. It is anticipated that information regarding the qualification of the ARYA Merger as a Section 351 Exchange or a Reorganization will be made available on such Form 8937 following the consummation of the Business Combination. A non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. backup withholding if it provides a certification of exempt status (on an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or an applicable substitute form). Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against the non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner. The IRS may impose a penalty upon any taxpayer that fails to provide the correct taxpayer identification number.

Information returns will be filed with the IRS in connection with payments resulting from the redemption of Public Shares. Backup withholding may apply to such payments if the U.S. Holder fails to provide a taxpayer identification number or a certification of exempt status, or if the U.S. Holder has been notified by the IRS that it is subject to backup withholding (and such notification has not been withdrawn).

A non-U.S. Holder may be required to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a “United States person” on a duly executed applicable IRS Form W-8 or otherwise in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. The amount of any backup withholding will be allowed as a credit against a holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such holder to a refund of any excess amounts withheld, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Ownership and Disposition of Shares of New Adagio Common Stock After the Closing

Tax Considerations Applicable to U.S. Holders

1.
Distributions on Shares of New Adagio Common Stock

A U.S. Holder generally will be required to include in gross income as a dividend the amount of any cash distribution paid with respect to shares of New Adagio Common Stock, to the extent the distribution is paid out of New Adagio’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles). Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of New Adagio Common Stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock and will be treated as described under “—2. Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of New Adagio Common Stock” below.

Dividends that New Adagio pays to a U.S. Holder that is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including, but not limited to, dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends that New Adagio pays to a non-corporate U.S. Holder may be taxed as “qualified dividend income” at the preferential tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains. It is unclear whether the redemption rights described herein with respect to the Public Shares exchanged for the shares of New Adagio Common Stock in the ARYA Merger may have suspended the running of the applicable holding period for these purposes.

2.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of New Adagio Common Stock

Upon a sale or other taxable disposition of shares of New Adagio Common Stock, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (ii) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of New Adagio Common Stock so disposed of. See “—Effects of the ARYA Merger on U.S. Holders” above for discussion of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the ARYA Merger. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding

175

period for the shares of New Adagio Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at reduced rates. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

3.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

Payments of dividends on and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of New Adagio Common Stock may be subject to information reporting to the IRS, and U.S. backup withholding may apply to such payments may be possible. Backup withholding will not apply, however, to a U.S. Holder who furnishes a correct taxpayer identification number and makes other required certifications, or who is otherwise exempt from backup withholding and establishes such exempt status.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Amounts withheld as backup withholding may be credited against a U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, and the U.S. Holder generally may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules by timely filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

Tax Considerations Applicable to Non-U.S. Holders

1.
Distributions on Shares of New Adagio Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under “—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” in general, any distributions made to a non-U.S. Holder with respect to New Adagio Common Stock, to the extent paid out of New Adagio’s current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, provided such dividends are not effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, will be subject to withholding tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of New Adagio Common Stock and then, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “—Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of New Adagio Common Stock.” Dividends paid by New Adagio to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (and if an income tax treaty applies, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders and, if the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, an additional “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or a lower applicable treaty rate) may also apply.

2.
Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of Shares of New Adagio Common Stock

Subject to the discussion below under “—Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act,” a non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax on gain realized on a sale or other taxable disposition of shares of New Adagio Common Stock unless:

(i)
such non-U.S. Holder is an individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of such disposition and certain other requirements are met, in which case any gain realized will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax;

(ii)
the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of such non-U.S. Holder in the United States (and if an income tax treaty applies, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by such non-U.S. Holder), in which case such gain will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders, and, if the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, an additional “branch profits tax” may also apply; or

(iii)
New Adagio is or has been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period and either (A) the

176

shares of New Adagio Common Stock has ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market or (B) such non-U.S. Holder has owned or is deemed to have owned, at any time during the shorter of the five-year period preceding such disposition and such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period more than 5% of outstanding shares of New Adagio Common Stock.

If paragraph (iii) above applies to a non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such non-U.S. Holder on the sale or other taxable disposition of shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of such New Adagio Common Stock from a non-U.S. Holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. New Adagio will be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not expect New Adagio to be classified as a “U.S. real property holding corporation” following the Business Combination. However, such determination is factual in nature and subject to change, and no assurance can be provided as to whether New Adagio will be a U.S. real property holding corporation with respect to a non-U.S. Holder following the Business Combination or at any future time.

3.
Information Reporting Requirements and Backup Withholding

Information returns may be filed with the IRS in connection with payments of dividends on and the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of shares of New Adagio Common Stock. A non-U.S. Holder may have to comply with certification procedures to establish that it is not a “United States person” for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise establish an exemption in order to avoid information reporting and backup withholding requirements. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to a non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability and may entitle such non-U.S. Holder to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished by such non-U.S. Holder to the IRS in a timely manner.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, securities (including Public Shares and shares of New Adagio Common Stock) which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (i) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of New Adagio Common Stock are held will affect the determination whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of, and (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (i) certifies to the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (ii) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies to payments of dividends in respect of Public Shares and shares of New Adagio Common Stock. While withholding under FATCA generally would also apply to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of shares of securities (including Public Shares and shares of New Adagio Common Stock), proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued. All holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their shares of New Adagio Common Stock.

177

THE FOREGOING IS A SUMMARY OF THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ARYA MERGER, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF NEW ADAGIO COMMON STOCK RECEIVED IN THE ARYA MERGER WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PARTICULAR FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF EACH HOLDER OF PUBLIC SHARES. HOLDERS OF PUBLIC SHARES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE SPECIFIC TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE ARYA MERGER, THE EXERCISE OF REDEMPTION RIGHTS, AND THE OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF SHARES OF NEW ADAGIO COMMON STOCK RECEIVED IN THE ARYA MERGER, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Defined terms included below have the same meaning as terms defined and included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

ListCo is providing the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to aid in the analysis of the financial aspects of the Business Combination and other events contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement. The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, assumes that the Business Combination occurred on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been completed on January 1, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with:

• the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

• the historical audited financial statements of ARYA as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus;

• the historical audited consolidated financial statements of Adagio as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes, included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus; and

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1. Description of the Transaction

On February 13, 2024, ARYA, ListCo, ARYA Merger Sub, Adagio, and Company Merger Sub entered into the Business Combination Agreement pursuant to which (i) ARYA Merger Sub will be merged with and into ARYA (the “ARYA Merger”), with ARYA surviving the ARYA Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ListCo and (ii) Company Merger Sub will be merged with and into Adagio (the “Adagio Merger” and, together with the ARYA Merger, the “Mergers”), with Adagio surviving the Adagio Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ListCo (the “Business Combination”) (the time that the ARYA Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “ARYA Merger Effective Time,” the time that the Adagio Merger becomes effective being referred to as the “Adagio Merger Effective Time” and the time after which both Mergers become effective being referred to as the “Closing”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, ListCo will change its name to “Adagio Medical, Inc.” The Business Combination is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024 and remains subject to customary closing conditions.

The consummation of the Business Combination is conditioned upon, among other things, (i) the approval by ARYA’s shareholders of the Business Combination Proposal and the ARYA Merger Proposal being obtained; (ii) the approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby by the Adagio stockholders; (iii) the absence of any order, law or other legal restraint or prohibition issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other governmental entity of competent jurisdiction prohibiting or preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement; (iv) the approval by Nasdaq of ListCo’s initial listing application in connection with the Business Combination (also see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—Nasdaq may delist ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares from its exchange prior to the Closing or Nasdaq may not list New Adagio’s securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares or in New Adagio’s securities and subject ARYA or New Adagio, as applicable, to additional trading restrictions”); (v) the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part; and (vi) the Aggregate Transaction Proceeds being greater than or equal to $50,000,000. Therefore, unless these conditions are waived by both ARYA and Adagio, the Business Combination Agreement could terminate, and the Business Combination may not be consummated. For more information about conditions to the consummation of the Business Combination, see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Conditions to Closing of the Business Combination.” While we believe that the $50,000,000 Aggregate Transaction Proceeds Condition was met based on the PIPE Financing, Bridge Financing Note and 2024 Bridge Financing Note arrangements that were executed prior to or concurrently with the Business Combination Agreement, the closing of the $20,000,000 Convertible Security Financing is not a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, only the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

In conversion of the ARYA’s equity outstanding prior to the Closing:

(A)
each issued and outstanding Class A ordinary share of ARYA, par value $0.0001 per share, will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of New Adagio (the “New Adagio Common Stock”); and

(B)
each issued and outstanding Class B ordinary share of ARYA, par value $0.0001 per share, will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive one share of New Adagio Common Stock, other than (i) 1,000,000 Class B ordinary shares that will be forfeited by the Sponsor, and issued to the PIPE Investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor; (ii) 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable to the Sponsor will be subject to share trigger price vesting and will vest if, prior to the tenth anniversary of the Closing, the post-closing share price of New Adagio equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period (the “Share Trigger Price Vesting”).

183

In conversion of the Adagio’s certain liabilities and equity outstanding prior to the Closing:

(A)
each warrant of Adagio will be either (a) terminated, or (b) “net” exercised in exchange for shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Adagio (“Adagio Common Stock”).

(B)
all issued and outstanding unsecured convertible promissory notes of Adagio (excluding the Bridge Financing Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes, as defined below) (the “Adagio Convertible Notes”), including any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, will be automatically and fully converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock in accordance with the terms of such Adagio Convertible Notes, and such Adagio Convertible Notes will be cancelled, satisfied, extinguished, discharged and retired in connection with such conversion;

(C)
each share of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Adagio (the “Adagio Preferred Stock”) that is issued and outstanding will be automatically converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock, and each such share of Adagio Preferred Stock will be cancelled.

(D)
all issued and outstanding shares of Adagio Common Stock (other than treasury shares and shares with respect to which appraisal rights under the DGCL, as amended, are properly exercised and not withdrawn) will be automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock based on the exchange ratio set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

(E)
each issued, outstanding and unexercised option to purchase Adagio Common Stock (“Adagio Option”) that is vested prior to the Closing or will vest in connection with, or after taking into account the effect of, the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement with an aggregate value that exceeds the aggregate exercise price of such Adagio Option (each an “In-the-Money Adagio Option”) will be cancelled and extinguished in exchange for options to purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock, and each issued and outstanding Adagio equity award (other than an In-the-Money Adagio Option) will automatically be cancelled and extinguished for no consideration, and each holder thereof will cease to have any rights with respect thereto;

(F)
outstanding SVB Term Loan will be paid off by Adagio prior to the Closing; and

(G)
$7,000,000 of 2024 Bridge Financing Notes will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, as defined below.

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo and ARYA entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Other PIPE Investors, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45.0 million, which includes (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors that are shareholders of ARYA, and (iii) agreements to subscribe for and purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock (together, the “PIPE Financing”). In connection with the PIPE Financing, the PIPE Investors will also subscribe for (i) Base Warrants or (ii) a combination of Base Warrants and Pre-Funded Warrants. The following table and notes summarize the components of the approximately $45.0 million PIPE Financing. For additional information on the calculation of the number of shares that will be issued pursuant to each Subscription Agreement, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing.”

(in thousands)	Amounts
Contribution from Bridge Financing Notes(1)	$23,000
Additional cash from Perceptive PIPE Investor(1)	8,071
Commitments by certain shareholders of ARYA(2)	10,000
Non-redemption commitments by certain Other PIPE Investors(3)	3,929
Total	$45,000

(1)
On the Closing Date, immediately prior to the Adagio Merger Effective Time and in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Business Combination Agreement, the Bridge Financing Notes and the Subscription Agreement executed by the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor will contribute (i) the $15,000,000 convertible promissory notes of Adagio, which it purchased from Adagio pursuant

184

to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2023 (the “April 2023 Notes”), (ii) the $8,000,000 convertible promissory notes of Adagio (or such lower amount as is loaned under such notes at the Closing), which it purchased from Adagio pursuant to that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 28, 2023 (the “November 2023 Notes” and, together with the April 2023 Notes, the “Bridge Financing Notes”), (iii) any interest that has been accruing and will remain unpaid through the Closing on the Bridge Financing Notes, and (iv) an additional cash investment of approximately $8,070,575 (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing) to ListCo in exchange for (or to otherwise be converted into) shares of New Adagio Common Stock and/or PIPE Warrants, based on the purchase price in the PIPE Financing, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the applicable Bridge Financing Note and the applicable Subscription Agreement. The total $23.0 million Bridge Financing Notes have been funded pre-Closing to Adagio.

(2)
In accordance with the terms in the Subscription Agreement, RA Capital commits to subscribe $10.0 million and 1.2 million units of PIPE Warrants.

(3)
349,576 Public Shares are subject to non-redemption agreements by certain Other PIPE Investors. Such 349,576 Public Shares includes (i) 133,500 Public Shares that were purchased in the open market at an average price of $11.23 per share and 88,106 Public Shares that are assumed to be purchased at $11.35 per share in the open market (such price reflects the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq on May 9, 2024) pursuant to open market purchase commitments made by certain Other PIPE Investors for a total of $2.5 million. (ii) 127,970 Public Shares that were currently hold by certain Other PIPE Investors prior to the Closing for a total of approximately $1.4 million.

Further, in connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Convert Investors executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20,000,000 of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “New Adagio Convertible Notes”), which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, and 1,500,000 warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), each Convert Warrant being exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Convert Financing”). Such $20,000,000 of financing in the form of New Adagio Convertible Notes includes the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment (as defined below) and includes the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes into New Adagio Convertible Notes at Closing, subject in each case to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing, as further described below. The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after the Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding. Concurrently with the execution of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased a $7,000,000 convertible promissory note of Adagio (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, by and among the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Adagio and ListCo (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into $7,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 525,000 Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for an additional $5,500,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 412,500 Convert Warrants, for a total of $12,500,000 in aggregate principal amount of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (such commitment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor to purchase New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, the “Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment,” and the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment as part of the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing (any such financing, an “Additional Financing”), whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes, the Convert Warrants or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date. Assuming no Additional Financing has been raised prior to the Closing Date, such minimum unrestricted cash condition is not met in the maximum redemption scenario. For additional information on the minimum unrestricted cash condition and the maximum redemption level after which the minimum unrestricted cash condition ceases to be met, please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing—Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement.”

185

Further, in connection with the Business Combination, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, the ancillary documents and the transactions, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, are paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

Note 2. Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a forward-merger in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ListCo will be treated as the “accounting acquirer” and Adagio as the “accounting acquiree” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting is based on FASB ASC 805 and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired, and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions per ASC 805-20-30-12 through 30-23. As such, under the acquisition method of accounting, ListCo’s assets and liabilities will retain their carrying amounts, and the assets and liabilities of Adagio, including any intangible assets recognized in connection with the Business Combination, will be recorded at their fair values, except as otherwise required, which will be measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill.

ListCo is expected to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:

• Adagio is an early-stage business and there are significant risks and uncertainties surrounding Adagio proceeding to the next stage of development and commercialization. Therefore, upon consummation of the Business Combination, there is uncertainty whether Adagio’s equity at risk will be sufficient to finance Adagio’s activities and ongoing development without additional subordinated financial support, under these assumed redemption scenarios. Therefore, Adagio is considered a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) and the primary beneficiary of Adagio will be treated as the accounting acquirer.

• ListCo is expected to be the primary beneficiary of Adagio. ListCo will hold 100% of the voting rights of Adagio and will control the Board of Directors of Adagio. Therefore, ListCo will have the sole power to control the significant activities that will significantly impact Adagio’s economic performance.

• ListCo’s equity interest in Adagio will result in the right to receive benefits and the obligation to absorb the losses of Adagio that could be significant to ListCo.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the adjustment related to Sponsor Earn-Out Shares (as defined below). The Sponsor Earn-Out Shares, which is classified as equity, are subject to the Share Trigger Price Vesting. At any time during the period following the ARYA Merger and expiring on the10^th anniversary of the Closing Date, if the stock price of a share of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $24.00 per share for any 20 trading days with any 30-trading day period after the Closing Date, the Sponsor Earn-Out Shares shall automatically vest. The adjustment related to Sponsor Earn-Out Shares is not reflected, as the trigger of vesting is deemed not probable of occurring after the Closing of the Business Combination.

Additionally, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include the settlement of the Jefferies Fees including $2.6 million of Jefferies Deferred Fees and $1 million of Jefferies Transaction Fees. At the election of ARYA, the Jefferies Fees may be paid in cash or in shares of New Adagio Common Stock. Such election is not determined as of the date of this filing.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using two alternative levels of redemption of Class A ordinary shares into cash:

• Scenario 1 — No further redemption: On February 28, 2023, 11,259,169 shares of Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $115.1 million. Further, on February 27, 2024, 390,815 shares of Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $4.4 million. This presentation applies the assumption that no further redemption rights are exercised by Public Shareholders with respect to their Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination, after the redemption on February 27, 2024; and

• Scenario 2 — Maximum redemption of Class A ordinary shares: This presentation assumes that Public Shareholders holding approximately 2,950,440 shares, which is 100% of Class A ordinary shares subject

186

to redemption, will exercise their redemption rights upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately $10.97 per share. The number of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption is net of 349,576 Public Shares that are subject to non-redemption agreements by certain Other PIPE investors.

There were no existing contractual relationships between ListCo and Adagio during the periods for which the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financials statements are presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Business Combination and related transactions. The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the Business Combination are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believe represent current best estimates and are subject to changes, which may be material. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that the assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Business Combination based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Note 3. Accounting Policies

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, management will perform a comprehensive review of the two entities’ accounting policies. As a result of the review, management may identify differences between the accounting policies of the two entities which, when conformed, could have a material impact on the financial statements of New Adagio. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.

Note 4. Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price

The total purchase consideration for the Business Combination has been allocated to the assets acquired, and liabilities assumed for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information based on their estimated relative fair values. The allocation of the purchase consideration herein is preliminary. The final allocation of the purchase consideration for the Business Combination will be determined after the completion of a thorough analysis to determine the fair value of all assets acquired and liabilities assumed but in no event later than one year following the completion of the Business Combination.

Accordingly, the final acquisition accounting adjustments could differ materially from the preliminary amounts presented in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Any increase or decrease in the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as compared to the information shown herein, could also change the portion of the purchase consideration allocable to goodwill and

191

could impact the operating results of New Adagio following the Business Combination due to differences in the allocation of the purchase consideration, depreciation and amortization related to some of these assets and liabilities.

The table below represents the total estimated preliminary purchase consideration (in thousands, except share data):

Number of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued (1)	5,830,107
Number of replacement New Adagio stock options granted to Adagio option holders	996
Total shares	5,831,103
Multiplied by the HoldCo Share Value, per the Business Combination Agreement	$10.00
Total	$58,311
Number of PIPE Warrants issued in lieu of settling Bridge Financing Notes	2,760,000
Multiplied by estimated value of PIPE Warrants	$4.15
Estimated fair value of PIPE Warrants issued in lieu of settling Bridge Financing Notes	$11,454
Estimated Purchase Price	$69,765

(1)
Number of New Adagio Common Stock to be issued includes the following:

(i)
2,399,004 shares converted from 14,379,005 shares held by Adagio shareholders prior to the combination based on exchange ratio. The total of 14,379,005 shares is presented in the share ownership and voting power table in Note 2.

(ii)
3,431,103 shares of New Adagio Common Stock to settle and convert the Bridge Financing Notes invested by Perceptive PIPE Investor. The 3,431,103 shares have been disclosed in Note 2(A)(4)(iii).

For purposes of this pro forma analysis, the above estimated purchase price has been allocated based on the relative fair value of the preliminary estimate of the fair value of assets and liabilities to be acquired (in thousands):

	Purchase Price Allocation
ASSETS:
Cash and cash equivalents	$663
Accounts receivable, net	71
Inventories, net	3,322
Prepaid expenses	232
Other current assets	177
Property and equipment, net	1,487
Intangible assets, net	26,200
Right-of-use assets, net	130
Deferred tax assets	5,553
Other assets	23
LIABILITIES:
Accounts payable	1,422
Accrued liabilities	3,048
Operating lease liabilities, current	79
Operating lease liabilities, long-term	52
Warrant liabilities	11,454
Convertible notes payables, long-term	7,000
Deferred tax liabilities	8,353
Other long-term liabilities	8
Net assets acquired	$6,442
Consideration transferred	$69,765
Goodwill	$63,323

The purchase price allocation for the proposed business combination is preliminary and subject to revision once the proposed business combination is complete and as additional information about the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed becomes available. Adagio has engaged third-party valuation companies to assist it in completing the valuation of certain assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed. However, Adagio

192

has not completed a full, detailed valuation analysis. The valuation is based on available financial statement information as of December 31, 2023 prepared by Adagio. Except for identifiable intangible assets and the warrant liabilities, the preliminarily estimated fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed is not materially different from the carrying value. Accordingly, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information includes a preliminary allocation of the purchase price based on assumptions that represent current best estimates, and are subject to changes, which may be material. Adagio will continue to refine its identification and valuation of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as further information becomes available.

The warrant liabilities are Base Warrants issued to Perceptive PIPE Investor in settling the Bridge Financing Notes, which is considered as part of the purchase consideration. The fair value of the Base Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $4.15 per unit, using Black-Scholes Merton Option model, based on the assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock that the Base Warrants are exercisable to, is at $10 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 4.16%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) the common stock volatility at 75% and a volatility haircut of 10%.

Preliminary identifiable intangible assets in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information consist of developed technology and in-process research and development (IPR&D), which were valued using the cost approach. This approach considers an asset’s replacement cost (direct and indirect) adjusted, where applicable, for obsolescence to estimate the replacement cost of the asset’s current service potential (i.e., remaining useful life and cash-flow generating capacity). Obsolescence for an acquired intangible asset may include functional (technological) obsolescence and economic (external) obsolescence. The amortization related to the developed technology is reflected as unaudited pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined income statements using the straight-line method of amortization. Management has determined the estimated useful life of 5 years for developed technology based on consideration of the economic benefit of the asset.

	Purchase Price Allocation
Intangible asset:
Developed Technology – iCLAS	$4,100
IPR&D – vCLAS	13,100
IPR&D – Cryopulse	9,000
Total	$26,200

The amount that will ultimately be allocated to these identified intangible assets and the related amount of amortization, may differ materially from this preliminary allocation.

Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets and captures the value attributable to future economic benefits arising from future technology development beyond the existing pipeline of identified IPR&D projects.

As the determination of the purchase price is subject to change upon finalization of the fair value analyses, the following table depicts the sensitivity of the purchase price and resulting goodwill to changes in net asset value. A 10% change in net asset value would cause a corresponding increase or decrease in the balance of goodwill as follows:

(In thousands)	Purchase price (Net assets)	Goodwill
As presented in the pro forma combined results	$6,442	$63,323
10% increase in net asset value	$7,086	$62,679
10% decrease in net asset value	$5,798	$63,967

Note 5. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, are as follows:

(A)
Represents the reclassification of 349,576 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption into Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with the non-redemption agreements with certain Other PIPE Investors. As a result, the cash proceeds received from such Other PIPE Investors of a value of $3.9 million is released from the Trust Account to ARYA’s cash balance.

193

(B)
Represents the redemption of 390,815 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption on February 27, 2024, for an aggregate redemption payment of $4.4 million, at a redemption price of approximately $11.15 per share.

(C)
Represents the reclassification of $32.3 million of cash and investments held in the Trust Account that becomes available to fund expenses in connection with the Business Combination.

(D)
Represents the receipt of additional principal amount of $1.5 million before closing under the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes.

(E)
Represents the settlement of ARYA’s accrued transaction expenses of $6.5 million, incurred by ARYA in connection with the Business Combination, such as advisory, banking, printing, legal, accounting fees and other professional fees that are a direct and incremental part of the transaction. Such transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

(F)
Represents the settlement of Adagio’s accrued transaction expenses of $8.8 million, incurred by Adagio in connection with the Business Combination, such as advisory, banking, printing, legal, accounting fees and other professional fees that are a direct and incremental part of the transaction. Such transaction costs are expensed as incurred.

(G)
Represents (1) the receipt of cash proceeds of $21.1 million in exchange of approximately 3,547,190 shares of New Adagio Common Stock in connection with the PIPE Financing, and (2) the settlement of the outstanding Bridge Financing Notes which has an estimated fair value of $24.5 million, along with the accrued but not paid interest of $0.6 million, in exchange of approximately 3,007,539 shares of New Adagio Common Stock in connection with the PIPE Financing. The total of approximately 6,554,729 shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued contingent upon and concurrently with the Closing in accordance with the Subscription Agreements.

In connection with the PIPE Financing, approximately 5,403,084 units of Base Warrants will be purchased, with a preliminary estimated fair value of $22.4 million. It is preliminarily determined that the Base Warrants associated with the PIPE Financing are not indexed to New Adagio’s own stock under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging, and therefore the Base Warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability. The exercise price of Base Warrants is $10 per unit. The fair value of the Base Warrants is preliminarily estimated at $4.15 per unit, using Black-Scholes Merton Option model, based on the assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock that the Base Warrants are exercisable to, is at $10 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 4.16%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) the common stock volatility at 75% and a volatility haircut of 10%.

It is assumed that the PIPE investors do not elect to receive any Pre-Funded Warrants.

(H)
Represents the settlement of the existing SVB Term Loan of Adagio with a net balance of $1.8 million, including $1.7 million of principal payment due within 12 months, $142.9 thousand long-term principal payment, net with an unamortized debt discount of $19.4 thousand. In addition, the accrued interest payable of $16.0 thousand is settled prior to the Closing.

(I)
Represents the issuance of $20.0 million of New Adagio Convertible Notes and the 1,500,000 Convert Warrant issued in connection with the New Adagio Convertible Notes to certain investors at the Closing. The Convert Warrants are exercisable on a cashless basis or for one share of New Adagio Common Stock at $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment. As permitted under ASC 825 - Financial Instruments, it is preliminary determined to elect the fair value option to account for the New Adagio Convertible Notes. Further, it is preliminary determined that the Convert Warrants associated with the New Adagio Convertible Notes meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 - Derivatives and Hedging but are not indexed to New Adagio’s own stock and is therefore accounted for as a liability.

The preliminary valuation of the New Adagio Convertible Notes is based on a binomial lattice model considering the contractual terms with assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock price at $10 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 4.25%; (iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) volatility at 40% and (v) a debt discount rate at 20%. The preliminary valuation of the Convert Warrants is based on the Black-Scholes Merton Option model, and the assumptions including (i) the New Adagio Common Stock that the Convert Warrants are exercisable to, is at $10 per share; (ii) a risk-free rate at 4.18%;

194

(iii) zero dividend yield; (iv) volatility at 40%. The fair value of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants is further applied a 20% negotiation discount in order to be calibrated to the issuance price of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants. The estimate of the fair value of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants is preliminary and based on the current available information. Adagio has engaged third party specialists to assist it in completing the calculation of the value of the New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants. As this full valuation analysis is undergoing and not yet completed, the estimated fair values will be updated based upon further available information, as well as market conditions at the time of the Closing.

(J)
Represents an adjustment to intangible assets, net to reflect the acquired identifiable intangible assets consisting of developed technology and IPR&D at the estimated fair value of $26.2 million, which as noted above is preliminary and subject to change once the proposed business combination is completed. The fair value of the developed technology and IPR&D is estimated based on cost approach. It is estimated a useful life of 5 years for developed technology based on consideration of the economic benefit of the asset. See Note 4 for additional details.

(K)
Represents an adjustment to reflect estimated goodwill of $63.3 million recognized from the proposed business combination in accordance with ASC 805-30-30 based on the preliminary purchase price allocation in Note 4. Goodwill represents the excess of the total purchase consideration over the fair value of the underlying net assets and captures the value attributable to future economic benefits arising from future technology development beyond the existing pipeline of identified IPR&D projects.

(L)
Reflects the preliminary estimated direct and incremental transaction costs incurred prior to or concurrent with the Business Combination of approximately $9.0 million. Transaction costs include legal, accounting, financial advisory and other professional fees related to the Business Combination. Of the total estimated transaction costs of approximately $9.0 million, approximately $6.0 million are to be incurred by Adagio and charged to accumulated deficit of Adagio prior to the Closing, and approximately $3.0 million are to be incurred by ARYA and charged to expenses through accumulated deficit.

(M)
Represents the conversion of $13.5 million of Adagio Convertible Notes and $0.9 million of related accrued unpaid interest to New Adagio Common Stock and additional paid-in capital.

(N)
Represents the ‘net’ exercise and conversion of Adagio Warrants prior to the Closing from liability to equity in conjunction with the Business Combination, as it is expected that the fair market value of Adagio Common Stock is greater than the warrant exercise price prior to the Closing. The Adagio Warrants were issued in conjunction with the SVB Term Loan. As per the applicable warrant agreement, in the event of the Business Combination, if the fair market value of Adagio Common Stock is greater than the exercise price ($7.97 per share) of the Adagio Warrant, the Adagio Warrants shall be immediately and automatically “net” exercised in exchange for a number of shares of Adagio Common Stock prior to the closing of the Adagio Merger; if the fair market value of Adagio Common Stock is equal to or less than the exercise price of the Adagio Warrant, the Adagio Warrants shall be automatically terminated prior to the closing of Adagio Merger.

(O)
Represents the conversion of $3.7 million of ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes to New Adagio Common Stock and additional paid-in capital, after the assumption that the maximum principal amount is drawn before closing under the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes. See Note 5(D) for the additional principal drawn prior to closing.

(P)
Reflects the estimated gross deferred tax asset of $33.0 million netting with valuation allowance of $27.5 million, and then with gross deferred tax liability of $8.3 million resulting in net deferred tax liability position of $2.8 million. The basis difference primarily results Adagio’s net operating losses and from the Business Combination where New Adagio receives intangible assets for financial accounting purposes. Tax-related adjustments are based upon an estimated state tax rate of 8.8% and an estimated federal tax rate of 21.0%. The effective tax rate of the combined company could be significantly different than what is presented in the pro forma financial information depending on post-acquisition activities, the geographical mix of taxable income, and changes in tax laws and regulations.

195

(Q)
Represents the conversion of 2,950,440 shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, with a par value of $0.0001, into 2,950,440 shares of the New Adagio Common Stock, resulting in an increase in New Adagio Common Stock with a par value of $0.0001 and an increase of additional paid-in capital.

As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of the $7.5 of financing by this Contingent Investor is conditioned on New Adagio having at least $48.0 million (as reduced by $2 million (prorated for partial months) for each calendar month anniversary from November 30, 2023 until the Closing Time) of available unrestricted cash on the expected Closing Date. The condition will not be met under the maximum redemption scenario. Refer to Note 5(I) for the valuation of the notes and warrants.

The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2023, are as follows:

(AA)
Reflects ARYA’s estimated transactions costs of $3.0 million as if incurred on January 1, 2023, the date the Business Combination occurred for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations. The amount presented is comprised of transaction costs that were not yet recognized in the historical statement of operations as part of the Business Combination. These costs are non-recurring.

Note 6. Net Loss per Share

Represents the net loss per share calculated using the historical weighted average shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination, assuming the shares were outstanding since January 1, 2023. As the Business Combination is being reflected as if it had occurred at the beginning of the period presented, the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding for basic and diluted net loss per share assumes that the shares issuable relating to the Business Combination have been outstanding for the entirety of the period presented. When assuming the maximum redemption scenario described above, this calculation is adjusted to eliminate such shares for the entirety of the period presented.

Comparative Historical and Pro Forma Per Share Data

The following table sets forth:

• historical per share information of ARYA for the year ended December 31, 2023.

• historical per share information of Adagio for the year ended December 31, 2023; and

• unaudited pro forma per share information of New Adagio for the year ended December 31, 2023, after giving effect to the Business Combination, assuming two redemption scenarios as follows:

• Scenario 1 – No further redemption: On February 28, 2023, 11,259,169 shares of Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $115.1 million. Further, on February 27, 2024, 390,815 shares of Class A ordinary shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $4.4 million. This presentation applies the assumption that no further redemption rights are exercised by Public Shareholders with respect to their Class A ordinary shares upon consummation of the Business Combination; after the actual redemption on February 27, 2024; and

• Scenario 2 – Maximum redemption of Class A ordinary shares: This presentation assumes that Public Shareholders holding approximately 2,950,440 shares, which is 100% of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption, will exercise their redemption rights upon consummation of the Business Combination at a redemption price of approximately $10.97 per share. The number of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption is net of 349,576 Public Shares that are subject to non-redemption agreements by certain Other PIPE investors.

The pro forma loss per share information reflect the Business Combination contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023.

BUSINESS OF ARYA AND CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT ARYA

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “ARYA,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to ARYA.

Summary

We are a blank check company incorporated on August 24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We have generated no operating revenues to date, and we do not expect that we will generate operating revenues until we consummate our initial business combination. To date, our efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities related to our initial public offering as well as the search for a prospective business combination. We reviewed a number of opportunities to enter into a business combination with an operating business and, on February 13, 2024, we entered into the Business Combination Agreement.

Our Founders

The Sponsor is an affiliate of Perceptive Advisors, a leading life sciences focused investment firm with over $7.8 billion of regulatory assets under management as of December 31, 2023. Since its launch in 1999, Perceptive Advisors has focused exclusively on the healthcare industry. Our founders are the founder and management of Perceptive Advisors. Joseph Edelman, our Chairman, founded Perceptive Advisors in 1999. Adam Stone, our Chief Executive Officer, is the Chief Investment Officer of Perceptive Advisors, Michael Altman, our Chief Financial Officer, is a Managing Director at Perceptive Advisors, and Konstantin Poukalov, our Chief Business Officer, is a Managing Director at Perceptive Advisors. Perceptive Advisors’ investment activity is focused on identifying both private and public companies in the life sciences and medical technology sectors and currently has investments in over 210 companies as of December 31, 2023. The team at Perceptive Advisors consists of trained scientists, physicians and financial analysts who are passionately committed to identifying innovation that can drive critical change to current treatment paradigms. Perceptive Advisors invests across the capital structure and throughout a company’s growth cycle which provides access to a broad universe of management teams and companies seeking flexible capital solutions. Perceptive Advisors is also an active investor in pre-IPO financing rounds known as “crossovers.” Perceptive Advisors has invested in over 130 private companies since 2013 and in 2023 met with over 250 private companies in evaluation of private growth financing rounds, crossovers, and pre-IPO analysis.

Experience with Special Purpose Acquisition Vehicles

Our management team has previous experience in the execution of public acquisition vehicles. In July 2020, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp. consummated its initial business combination with Immatics Biotechnologies GmbH (“Immatics”). The ordinary shares of the combined company, Immatics N.V., are traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “IMTX.” Mr. Stone continues to serve on the supervisory board of Immatics N.V. following the consummation of the business combination.

Additionally, in October 2020, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II consummated its initial business combination with Cerevel Therapeutics. The common stock of the combined company, Cerevel Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. (“Cerevel”), is traded on Nasdaq under the symbol “CERE.” On December 6, 2023, Cerevel entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with AbbVie Inc., a Delaware corporation (“AbbVie”), Symphony Harlan LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie (“Intermediate Holdco”), and Symphony Harlan Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Intermediate Holdco, pursuant to which, and on the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Symphony Harlan Merger Sub Inc. will merge with and into Cerevel, with Cerevel surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of AbbVie. This transaction is expected to close in the middle of 2024, subject to Cerevel shareholder approval, regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.

In June 2021, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III consummated its initial business combination with Nautilus Biotechnology, Inc. (“Nautilus”). The common stock of the combined company trades on Nasdaq under the symbol “NAUT.” Michael Altman continues to serve on the board of directors of directors of Nautilus.

In February 2021, our management team founded ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp V, which was formed for substantially similar purposes as our company. In July 2021, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp V completed its Initial Public Offering, in which it sold 14,950,000 Class A ordinary shares, for an offering price of $10.00 per share,

200

generating aggregate proceeds of $149,500,000. ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp V’s Class A ordinary shares were trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “ARYE” until ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp V reached its termination date on June 4, 2021 and decided to redeem its public shareholders on or around July 24, 2023.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and the private placement, $149.5 million ($10.00 per Public Share) of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and certain of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement were placed in a Trust Account, located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee, and were, from the consummation of the initial public offering through February 27, 2023, invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market fund meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On February 27, 2023, ARYA delivered an instruction letter to Continental, acting as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or ARYA’s liquidation. ARYA is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that ARYA might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal. For more information on the partial liquidation of the Trust Account in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the related redemption of Class A ordinary shares, also see below under “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal.” ARYA’s Public Shares are currently listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “ARYD.”

The past performance of the members of our management team or their affiliates, including ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp V and Perceptive Advisors, is not a guarantee that we will be able to identify a suitable candidate for our initial business combination or of success with respect to any business combination we may consummate. You should not rely on the historical record or the performance of our management team or their affiliates, including ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp., ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp II, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp III and Perceptive Advisors or any of their affiliates’ or managed fund’s performance as indicative of our future performance.

Financial Position

As of December 31, 2023, we had approximately $40,575,949 available to consummate an initial business combination before payment of $2,616,250 of deferred underwriting fees and not including any interest or the deposits made by the Sponsor in connection with the extensions of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents. With these funds available for a business combination, we offer a target business a variety of options such as creating a liquidity event for its owners, providing capital for the potential growth and expansion of its operations or strengthening its balance sheet by reducing its debt ratio. Because we are able to complete our initial business combination using ARYA’s cash, debt or equity securities, or a combination of the foregoing, we have the flexibility to use the most efficient combination that will allow us to tailor the consideration to be paid to the target business to fit its needs and desires.

Effecting Our Business Combination

Fair Market Value of Target Business

The Nasdaq Listing Rules require that our business combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of our signing a definitive agreement in connection with our initial business combination. The ARYA Board has determined that this test was met in connection with the proposed Business Combination.

201

Lack of Business Diversification

For an indefinite period of time after the completion of our initial business combination, the prospects for our success may depend entirely on the future performance of a single business. Unlike other entities that have the resources to complete business combinations with multiple entities in one or several industries, it is probable that we will not have the resources to diversify our operations and mitigate the risks of being in a single line of business. By completing our initial business combination with only a single entity, our lack of diversification may:

• subject us to negative economic, competitive and regulatory developments, any or all of which may have a substantial adverse impact on the particular industry in which we operate after our initial business combination; and

• cause us to depend on the marketing and sale of a single product or limited number of products or services.

Limited Ability to Evaluate Target’s Management Team

Although we closely scrutinize the management of a prospective target business when evaluating the desirability of effecting our initial business combination with that business, our assessment of the target business’s management may not prove to be correct. In addition, the future management may not have the necessary skills, qualifications or abilities to manage a public company. Furthermore, the future role of members of our management team, if any, in the target business cannot presently be stated with any certainty. The determination as to whether any of the members of our management team will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination. While it is possible that one or more of our directors will remain associated in some capacity with us following our initial business combination, it is unlikely that any of them will devote their full efforts to our affairs subsequent to our initial business combination. Moreover, we cannot assure you that members of our management team will have significant experience or knowledge relating to the operations of the particular target business.

We cannot assure you that any of our key personnel will remain in senior management or advisory positions with the combined company. The determination as to whether any of our key personnel will remain with the combined company will be made at the time of our initial business combination.

Following a business combination, we may seek to recruit additional managers to supplement the incumbent management of the target business. We cannot assure you that we will have the ability to recruit additional managers, or that additional managers will have the requisite skills, knowledge or experience necessary to enhance the incumbent management.

Permitted Purchases of Our Securities and Other Transactions with Respect to Our Securities

At any time at or prior to a business combination, during a period when they are not then aware of any material nonpublic information regarding us or our securities, our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates may purchase Public Shares from institutional and other investors who vote, or indicate an intention to vote, against any of the proposals presented at the General Meeting, or execute agreements to purchase such shares from such investors in the future, or they may enter into transactions with such investors and others to provide them with incentives to acquire Public Shares. Such a purchase may include a contractual acknowledgement that such shareholder, although still the record or beneficial holder of our shares, is no longer the beneficial owner thereof and therefore agrees not to exercise its redemption rights. In the event that our initial shareholders, Adagio, ListCo and/or their respective directors, officers, advisors or respective affiliates purchase shares in privately negotiated transactions from Public Shareholders who have already elected to exercise their redemption rights, such selling shareholder would be required to revoke their prior elections to redeem their shares. The purpose of such share purchases and other transactions would be to increase the likelihood of satisfaction of the requirement that the Business Combination Proposal, the ARYA Merger Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are approved by the requisite majorities.

Entering into any such arrangements may have a depressive effect on the ARYA Shares. For example, as a result of these arrangements, an investor or holder may have the ability to effectively purchase shares at a price lower than market and may therefore be more likely to sell the shares he or she owns, either at or prior to the Business Combination.

If such transactions are effected, the consequence could be to cause the Business Combination to be consummated in circumstances where such consummation could not otherwise occur. Purchases of shares by the persons described above would allow them to exert more influence over the approval of the proposals to be presented

202

at the General Meeting and would likely increase the chances that such proposals would be approved. We will file or submit a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose any material arrangements entered into or significant purchases made by any of the aforementioned persons that would affect the vote on the proposals to be put to the General Meeting or the redemption threshold. Any such report will include descriptions of any arrangements entered into or significant purchases by any of the aforementioned persons.

Any purchases by the Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates who are affiliated purchasers under Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act will only be made to the extent such purchases are able to be made in compliance with Rule 10b-18, which is a safe harbor from liability for manipulation under Section 9(a)(2) and Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Rule 10b-18 has certain technical requirements that must be complied with in order for the safe harbor to be available to the purchaser. The Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors and/or their respective affiliates will not make purchases of shares if the purchases would violate Section 9(a)(2) or Rule 10b-5 of the Exchange Act. Any such purchases will be reported pursuant to Section 13 and Section 16 of the Exchange Act to the extent such purchasers are subject to such reporting requirements. Additionally, in the event our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or their affiliates were to purchase Public Shares from Public Shareholders, such purchases would be structured in compliance with the requirements of Rule 14e-5 under the Exchange Act including, in pertinent part, through adherence to the following:

• this proxy statement/prospectus would disclose the possibility that our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates may purchase shares from Public Shareholders outside the redemption process, along with the purpose of such purchases;

• if our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates were to purchase shares from Public Shareholders, they would do so at a price no higher than the price offered through our redemption process;

• this proxy statement/prospectus would include a representation that any of our securities purchased by our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not be voted in favor of approving the Business Combination;

• our sponsor, directors, officers, advisors or any of their affiliates would not possess any redemption rights with respect to such securities or, if they do acquire and possess redemption rights, they would waive such rights; and

• we would disclose in a Form 8-K, before the General Meeting to approve the Business Combination, the following material items:

• the amount of the Public Shares purchased outside of the redemption offer by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates, along with the purchase price;

• the purpose of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates;

• the impact, if any, of the purchases by our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates on the likelihood that the Business Combination will be approved;

• the identities of our shareholders who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates (if not purchased on the open market) or the nature of such shareholders (e.g., 5% security holders) who sold to our sponsor, directors, executive officers, advisors or any of their affiliates; and

• the number of our Public Shares for which we have received redemption requests pursuant to our redemption offer.

Redemption Rights for Public Shareholders upon Completion of the Business Combination

We will provide our Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Class A ordinary shares upon the completion of our initial business combination at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the initial business combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, subject to the limitations described herein. As of May 9, 2024, the amount in the Trust Account was approximately $37,543,644, or approximately $11.37 per Public Share. The per-share amount we will distribute to

203

investors who properly redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions we will pay to Jefferies LLC, one of the underwriters of our initial public offering. The redemption rights include the requirement that a beneficial holder must identify itself in writing as a beneficial holder and provide its legal name, phone number and address to the Continental in order to validly redeem its shares. Further, we will not proceed with redeeming our Public Shares, even if a Public Shareholder has properly elected to redeem its shares, if a business combination does not close. Pursuant to the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement, the initial shareholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Class B ordinary shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination; and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by the Termination Date or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares.

Redemption of Public Shares and Liquidation if No Business Combination

The Existing Governing Documents provide that we have until June 2, 2023 to consummate an initial business combination unless our Sponsor, upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, requests to extend the Termination Date by a month for up to nine additional months. Upon such request of the Sponsor, the ARYA Board shall without another shareholder vote approve by resolution the monthly extension. Our Sponsor may elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, until the Termination Date, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. For more information, also see “ARYA’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal.” Our Sponsor expects to continue to exercise its option to extend the Termination Date until the Business Combination closes.

On February 27, 2024, ARYA’s shareholders adopted the Articles Amendments to (i) extend the date by which ARYA has to complete a business combination up to March 2, 2025 (if all eleven additional monthly extensions are exercised by the Sponsor and subsequently approved by the ARYA Board as described in the Extension Proxy Statement), (ii) allow for the conversion of the Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time and from time to time prior to the consummation of a business combination at the option of the holder of such Class B ordinary shares, and (iii) eliminate the Redemption Limitation.

If we are unable to consummate an initial business combination by the applicable Termination Date, and do not otherwise amend the Existing Organizational Documents in view of further extending the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination, we will: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the ARYA Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Existing Governing Documents provide that, if we wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of our initial business combination, we will follow the foregoing procedures with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, subject to applicable Cayman Islands law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of his, her, its or any other person with whom he, she or it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares. Accordingly, any shares held by a Public Shareholder or “group” in excess of such 15% cap will not be redeemed by ARYA.

204

We expect that all costs and expenses associated with implementing a plan of dissolution, as well as payments to any creditors, will be funded from amounts held outside the Trust Account plus up to $100,000 of funds from the Trust Account available to us to pay dissolution expenses, although we cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose.

If we were to expend all of the net proceeds of our initial public offering and the sale of the Private Placement Shares, other than the proceeds deposited in the Trust Account, and without taking into account interest, if any, earned on the Trust Account, the per-share redemption amount received by shareholders upon our dissolution would be $10.00. The proceeds deposited in the Trust Account could, however, become subject to the claims of our creditors which would have higher priority than the claims of our Public Shareholders. Therefore, the per share distribution from the Trust Account in such a situation may be less than originally expected due to such claims, and we cannot assure you that the actual per-share redemption amount received by shareholders will not be less than $10.00. While we intend to pay such amounts, if any, we cannot assure you that we will have funds sufficient to pay or provide for all creditors’ claims.

Although we will seek to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses and other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of our Public Shareholders, there is no guarantee that they will execute such agreements or even if they execute such agreements that they would be prevented from bringing claims against the Trust Account including but not limited to fraudulent inducement, breach of fiduciary responsibility or other similar claims, as well as claims challenging the enforceability of the waiver, in each case in order to gain an advantage with respect to a claim against our assets, including the funds held in the Trust Account. If any third party refuses to execute an agreement waiving such claims to the monies held in the Trust Account, our management will perform an analysis of the alternatives available to it and will only enter into an agreement with a third party that has not executed a waiver if management believes that such third party’s engagement would be significantly more beneficial to us than any alternative.

Examples of possible instances where we may engage a third party that refuses to execute a waiver include the engagement of a third-party consultant whose particular expertise or skills are believed by management to be significantly superior to those of other consultants that would agree to execute a waiver or in cases where management is unable to find a service provider willing to execute a waiver. In addition, there is no guarantee that such entities will agree to waive any claims they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, contracts or agreements with us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, our Sponsor agreed that it will be liable to us if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to us, or a prospective target business with which we have discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amounts in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, provided that such liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to seek access to the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, our Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. However, we have not asked our Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor have we independently verified whether our Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and we believe that our Sponsor’s only assets are securities of our company. Our Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of our officers or directors will indemnify us for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

In the event that the proceeds in the Trust Account are reduced below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the trust assets, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay our tax obligations, and our Sponsor asserts that it is unable to satisfy its indemnification obligations or that it has no indemnification obligations related to a particular claim, our independent directors would determine whether to take legal action against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations. While we currently expect that our independent directors would take legal action on our behalf against our Sponsor to enforce its indemnification obligations to us, it is possible that our independent directors in exercising their

205

business judgment may choose not to do so in any particular instance if, for example, the cost of such legal action is deemed by ARYA’s independent directors to be too high relative to the amount recoverable or if ARYA’s independent directors determine that a favorable outcome is not likely. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that due to claims of creditors the actual value of the per-share redemption price will not be less than $10.00 per Public Share.

We will seek to reduce the possibility that our Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding our independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which we do business execute agreements with us waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Our Sponsor will also not be liable as to any claims under our indemnity of the underwriters of our initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. We will have access to funds held outside of the Trust Account with which to pay any such potential claims (including costs and expenses incurred in connection with our liquidation, currently estimated to be no more than approximately $100,000). In the event that we liquidate and it is subsequently determined that the reserve for claims and liabilities is insufficient, shareholders who received funds from our Trust Account could be liable for claims made by creditors; however, such liability will not be greater than the amount of funds from our Trust Account received by any such shareholder.

If we file a bankruptcy petition or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law and may be included in our bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of our shareholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, we cannot assure you we will be able to return $10.00 per Public Share to our Public Shareholders. Additionally, if we file a bankruptcy petition or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by shareholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy/insolvency laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance, preference or disposition.”

As a result, a liquidator or a bankruptcy or other court could seek to recover some or all amounts received by our shareholders. Furthermore, the ARYA Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to us or our creditors and/or may have acted in bad faith, and thereby exposing itself and our company to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Shareholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors. We cannot assure you that claims will not be brought against us for these reasons.

See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA— If, after we distribute the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Shareholders, we file a bankruptcy or winding up petition or an involuntary bankruptcy or winding up petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, a bankruptcy court may seek to recover such proceeds, and we and the ARYA Board may be exposed to claims of punitive damages.”

Employees

We currently have three executive officers. These individuals are not obligated to devote any specific number of hours to our matters, but they intend to devote as much of their time as they deem necessary to our affairs until we have completed our initial business combination. The amount of time they will devote in any time period will vary based on whether a target business has been selected for our initial business combination and the stage of the business combination process we are in. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination.

Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors

The ARYA Board is divided into three classes (Class I, II and III). Only one class of directors will be elected in each year, and each class (except for those directors appointed prior to our first annual general meeting of shareholders) will serve a three-year term. The term of office of the first class of directors, consisting of Leslie Trigg, will expire at our first annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the second class of directors, consisting of Michael Henderson and Todd Wider, will expire at our second annual meeting of shareholders. The term of office of the third class of directors, consisting of Joseph Edelman, Adam Stone and Michael Altman, will expire at our third annual meeting of shareholders.

208

Prior to the completion of an initial business combination, any vacancy on the ARYA Board may be filled by a nominee chosen by holders of a majority of the Class B ordinary shares. In addition, prior to the completion of an initial business combination, holders of a majority of the Class B ordinary shares may remove a member of the ARYA Board for any reason.

Pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, the Sponsor, upon and following consummation of an initial business combination, will be entitled to nominate three individuals for election to the board of directors of the combined company, as long as the Sponsor holds any securities covered by the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing. The Business Combination Agreement provides the Sponsor with certain rights to nominate directors to the New Adagio Board (for more information see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Board of Directors”).

Our officers are appointed by the ARYA Board and serve at the discretion of the ARYA Board, rather than for specific terms of office. The ARYA Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in the Existing Governing Documents as it deems appropriate. The Existing Governing Documents provide that our officers may consist of one or more chairman of the board, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief business officer, president, vice presidents, secretary, treasurer and such other offices as may be determined by the ARYA Board.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The ARYA Board has three standing committees: an audit committee, a nominating committee and a compensation committee. Each committee operates under a charter that has been approved by our board and has the composition and responsibilities described below. The charter of each committee is available on our website.

Audit Committee

We established an audit committee of the ARYA Board. Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson serve as members of our audit committee. The ARYA Board has determined that each of Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson are independent. Todd Wider serves as the Chairman of the audit committee. Each member of the audit committee meets the financial literacy requirements of Nasdaq and the ARYA Board has determined that Todd Wider qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules and has accounting or related financial management expertise.

The audit committee is responsible for:

• meeting with our independent registered public accounting firm regarding, among other issues, audits, and adequacy of our accounting and control systems;

• monitoring the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm;

• verifying the rotation of the lead (or coordinating) audit partner having primary responsibility for the audit and the audit partner responsible for reviewing the audit as required by law;

• inquiring and discussing with management our compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

• pre-approving all audit services and permitted non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm, including the fees and terms of the services to be performed;

• appointing or replacing the independent registered public accounting firm;

• determining the compensation and oversight of the work of the independent registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or related work;

• establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or reports which raise material issues regarding our financial statements or accounting policies;

• monitoring compliance on a quarterly basis with the terms of our initial public offering and, if any noncompliance is identified, immediately taking all action necessary to rectify such noncompliance or otherwise causing compliance with the terms of our initial public offering; and

209

• reviewing and approving all payments made to our existing shareholders, executive officers or directors and their respective affiliates. Any payments made to members of our audit committee will be reviewed and approved by the ARYA Board, with the interested director or directors abstaining from such review and approval.

Nominating Committee

We established a nominating committee of the ARYA Board. The members of our nominating committee are Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson. Leslie Trigg serves as chairman of the nominating committee. The ARYA Board has determined that each of Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson are independent.

The nominating committee is responsible for overseeing the selection of persons to be nominated to serve on the ARYA Board. The nominating committee considers persons identified by its members, management, shareholders, investment bankers and others.

Guidelines for Selecting Director Nominees

The guidelines for selecting nominees, which are specified in a charter adopted by us, generally provide that persons to be nominated:

• should have demonstrated notable or significant achievements in business, education or public service;

• should possess the requisite intelligence, education and experience to make a significant contribution to the board of directors and bring a range of skills, diverse perspectives and backgrounds to its deliberations; and

• should have the highest ethical standards, a strong sense of professionalism and intense dedication to serving the interests of the shareholders.

The nominating committee considers a number of qualifications relating to management and leadership experience, background and integrity and professionalism in evaluating a person’s candidacy for membership on the board of directors. The nominating committee may require certain skills or attributes, such as financial or accounting experience, to meet specific board needs that arise from time to time and will also consider the overall experience and makeup of its members to obtain a broad and diverse mix of board members. The nominating committee does not distinguish among nominees recommended by shareholders and other persons.

Compensation Committee

We established a compensation committee of the ARYA Board. The members of our compensation committee are Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson. Michael Henderson serves as chairman of the compensation committee.

The ARYA Board has determined that each of Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson are independent. We adopted a compensation committee charter, which details the principal functions of the compensation committee, including:

• reviewing and approving on an annual basis the corporate goals and objectives relevant to our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation, evaluating our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of such goals and objectives, and determining and approving the remuneration (if any) of our Chief Executive Officer based on such evaluation;

• reviewing and approving the compensation of all of our other Section 16 executive officers;

• reviewing our executive compensation policies and plans;

• implementing and administering our incentive compensation equity-based remuneration plans;

• assisting management in complying with our proxy statement and annual report disclosure requirements;

• approving all special perquisites, special cash payments and other special compensation and benefit arrangements for our executive officers and employees;

• producing a report on executive compensation to be included in our annual proxy statement; and

• reviewing, evaluating and recommending changes, if appropriate, to the remuneration for directors.

The charter also provides that the compensation committee may, in its sole discretion, retain or obtain the advice of a compensation consultant, legal counsel or other adviser and is directly responsible for the appointment,

210

compensation and oversight of the work of any such adviser. However, before engaging or receiving advice from a compensation consultant, external legal counsel or any other adviser, the compensation committee will consider the independence of each such adviser, including the factors required by Nasdaq and the SEC.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers currently serves, and in the past year has not served, as a member of the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the ARYA Board.

Clawback Policy

Our board of directors has adopted a Clawback Policy (the “Clawback Policy”) designed to comply with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder, and the listing standards of Nasdaq. The Clawback Policy is also filed as an exhibit to this Report. The Company believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to create and maintain a culture that emphasizes integrity and accountability and that reinforces the Company’s pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. The Company’s board of directors therefore adopted the Clawback Policy, which provides for the recoupment of certain executive compensation in the event that the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws. The Clawback Policy is administered by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Any determinations made by the Compensation Committee are final and binding on all affected individuals. The Clawback Policy applies to the Company’s current and former executive officers (as determined by the Compensation Committee in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act, the rules promulgated thereunder, and the listing standards of Nasdaq) and such other senior executives or employees who may from time to time be deemed subject to the Clawback Policy by the Compensation Committee.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to our directors, officers and employees (the “Code of Ethics”). The Code of Ethics codifies the business and ethical principles that govern all aspects of our business. The Company has not adopted a separate insider trading policy to date but requires officers, directors and any employees to comply with its Code of Ethics that provides that it is the personal responsibility of each of the Company’s officers, directors or employees to adhere to the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations, which includes compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations. A copy of the Code of Ethics will be provided without charge upon written request to our principal executive offices. We intend to disclose any amendments to or waivers of certain provisions of our Code of Ethics on our website https://www.perceptivelife.com/arya4/. We do not incorporate the information contained on, or accessible through, our website into this proxy statement/prospectus, and you should not consider it a part of this proxy statement/prospectus or information filed with the SEC.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, as amended, requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of our ordinary shares to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely upon a review of such forms, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2022, there were no delinquent filers.

Conflicts of Interest

Under Cayman Islands law, directors and officers of a Cayman Islands company owe certain duties to the company, including, but not limited to, the following fiduciary duties:

• duty to act in good faith in what the director or officer believes to be in the best interests of the company as a whole;

• duty to exercise powers for the purposes for which those powers were conferred and not for a collateral purpose;

• duty not to improperly fetter the exercise of future discretion;

• duty to exercise powers fairly as between different sections of shareholders;

• duty not to put themselves in a position in which there is a conflict between their duty to the company and their personal interests; and

• duty to exercise independent judgment.

In addition to the above, directors also owe a duty of care which is not fiduciary in nature. This duty has been defined as a requirement to act as a reasonably diligent person having both the general knowledge, skill and experience that may reasonably be expected of a person carrying out the same functions as are carried out by that director in relation to the company and the general knowledge skill and experience of that director.

As set out above, directors have a duty not to put themselves in a position of conflict and this includes a duty not to engage in self-dealing, or to otherwise benefit as a result of their position. However, in some instances what would otherwise be a breach of this duty can be forgiven and/or authorized in advance by the shareholders, provided that there is full disclosure by the directors. This can be done by way of permission granted in the Existing Governing Documents or alternatively by shareholder approval at shareholder meetings.

Certain of our officers and directors presently have, and any of them in the future may have additional, fiduciary or contractual obligations to other entities, including entities that are affiliates of our sponsor, pursuant to which such officer or director is or will be required to present a business combination opportunity to such entity. Accordingly, if any of our officers or directors becomes aware of a business combination opportunity which is suitable for an entity to which he or she has then-current fiduciary or contractual obligations, he or she will honor his or her fiduciary or contractual obligations to present such business combination opportunity to such entity, subject to their fiduciary duties under Cayman Islands law. We do not believe, however, that the fiduciary duties or contractual obligations of our officers or directors will materially affect our ability to complete our initial business combination.

Below is a table summarizing the entities to which our executive officers and directors currently have fiduciary duties, contractual obligations or other material management relationships:

Potential investors should also be aware of the following other potential conflicts of interest:

• Our executive officers and directors are not required to, and will not, commit their full time to our affairs, which may result in a conflict of interest in allocating their time between our operations and our search for a business combination and their other businesses. We do not intend to have any full-time employees prior to the completion of our initial business combination. Each of our executive officers is engaged in several other business endeavors for which he may be entitled to substantial compensation, and our executive officers are not obligated to contribute any specific number of hours per week to our affairs.

• The Sponsor subscribed for Class B ordinary shares in January 2021 and purchased Private Placement Shares in a transaction that closed simultaneously with the closing of our initial public offering. In February 2021, the Sponsor transferred 30,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of Michael Henderson, Leslie Trigg and Todd Wider. Our sponsor and our management team have entered into an agreement with us, pursuant to which they have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Class B ordinary shares, Private Placement Shares and any Public Shares purchased during or after our initial public offering in connection with (i) the completion of our initial business combination; and (ii) a shareholder vote to approve an amendment to the Existing Governing Documents (A) that would modify the substance or timing of our obligation to provide holders of our Class A ordinary shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with our initial business combination or to redeem 100% of our Public Shares if we do not complete our initial business combination by the Termination Date or (B) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of our Class A ordinary shares. Additionally, the Sponsor has agreed to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to its Class B ordinary shares if we fail to complete our initial business combination within the required time period. If we do not complete our initial business combination within the required time period, the Private Placement Shares will be worthless. The Sponsor and our management team have agreed in connection with the initial public offering and pursuant to the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Class B ordinary shares until the earliest of (A) one year after the completion of our initial business combination and (B) subsequent to our initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of our Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share splits, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after our initial business combination, or (y) the date on which we complete a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of our Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property. Further, pursuant to the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement, with certain limited exceptions, the Private Placement Shares will not be transferable until 30 days following the completion of our initial business combination. Such transfer restrictions applicable to the Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Shares will be amended in connection with the Business Combination and pursuant to the Sponsor Letter Agreement and Investor Rights Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Investor Rights Agreement” certain transfer restrictions applicable to the Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Shares will be amended in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. Because each of our executive officers and directors own ARYA shares directly or indirectly, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether a particular target business is an appropriate business with which to effectuate our initial business combination.

213

• Our officers and directors may have a conflict of interest with respect to evaluating a particular business combination if the retention or resignation of any such officers and directors was included by a target business as a condition to any agreement with respect to our initial business combination.

• If we seek shareholder approval, we will complete our initial business combination only if a majority of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination. In such case, our sponsor and directors and officers have agreed to vote their founder shares, private placement shares and public shares in favor of our proposed initial business combination (for more information on voting and permitted purchases of public shares see, “—Effecting Our Business Combination—Permitted Purchases of Our Securities and Other Transactions with Respect to Our Securities.”)

We cannot assure you that any of the above-mentioned conflicts will be resolved in our favor.

You should also review the conflicts of interests of the Sponsor and ARYA’s directors and officers disclosed in the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Cayman Islands law does not limit the extent to which a company’s memorandum and articles of association may provide for indemnification of officers and directors, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime. The Existing Governing Documents provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the maximum extent permitted by law, including for any liability incurred in their capacities as such, except through their own actual fraud, willful default or willful neglect. We entered into agreements with our directors and officers to provide contractual indemnification in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Existing Governing Documents. We purchased a policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance that insures our officers and directors against the cost of defense, settlement or payment of a judgment in some circumstances and insures us against our obligations to indemnify our officers and directors.

Our officers and directors have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust account, and have agreed to waive any right, title, interest or claim of any kind they may have in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any services provided to us and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever (except to the extent they are entitled to funds from the Trust Account due to their ownership of Public Shares). Accordingly, any indemnification provided will only be able to be satisfied by us if (i) we have sufficient funds outside of the Trust Account or (ii) we consummate an initial business combination.

Our indemnification obligations may discourage shareholders from bringing a lawsuit against our officers or directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our shareholders. Furthermore, a shareholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against our officers and directors pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

We believe that these provisions, the insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced officers and directors.

Executive Compensation and Director Compensation and Other Interests

In February 2021, our Sponsor transferred 30,000 Class B ordinary shares to each of Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson. None of our executive officers or directors have received any cash compensation for services rendered to us. Commencing on the date that our securities were first listed on Nasdaq through the earlier of consummation of our initial business combination and our liquidation, we will reimburse our Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month. In addition, our Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates will be reimbursed for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with activities on our behalf such as identifying potential target businesses and performing due diligence on suitable business combinations. Our audit committee reviews on a quarterly basis all payments that were made by us to our Sponsor, executive officers or directors, or our or their affiliates. Any such payments prior to an initial business combination are made using funds held outside the Trust Account. Other than quarterly audit committee review of such reimbursements, we do not have any additional controls in place governing

214

our reimbursement payments to our directors and executive officers for their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with our activities on our behalf in connection with identifying and consummating an initial business combination. Other than these payments and reimbursements, no compensation of any kind, including finder’s and consulting fees, is paid by the company to Sponsor, executive officers and directors, or any of their respective affiliates, prior to completion of our initial business combination.

After the completion of our initial business combination, directors or members of our management team who remain with us may be paid consulting or management fees from the combined company. All of these fees will be fully disclosed to shareholders, to the extent then known, in the proxy solicitation materials or tender offer materials furnished to our shareholders in connection with a proposed business combination. We have not established any limit on the amount of such fees that may be paid by New Adagio to our directors or members of management. It is unlikely the amount of such compensation will be known at the time of a proposed business combination because the directors of the post-combination business will be responsible for determining executive officer and director compensation. Any compensation to be paid to our executive officers will be determined, or recommended to the board of directors for determination, either by a compensation committee constituted solely by independent directors or by a majority of the independent directors on the ARYA Board.

We do not intend to take any action to ensure that members of our management team maintain their positions with us after the consummation of our initial business combination, although it is possible that some or all of our executive officers and directors may negotiate employment or consulting arrangements to remain with us after our initial business combination. The existence or terms of any such employment or consulting arrangements to retain their positions with us may influence our management’s motivation in identifying or selecting a target business but we do not believe that the ability of our management to remain with us after the consummation of our initial business combination will be a determining factor in our decision to proceed with any potential business combination. We are not party to any agreements with our executive officers and directors that provide for benefits upon termination of employment.

Director Independence

Nasdaq listing standards require that a majority of the ARYA Board be independent. An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of ARYA or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship with ARYA which in the opinion of the ARYA Board, could interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. We have “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq’s listing standards and applicable SEC rules. The ARYA Board has determined that Joseph Edelman, Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson are “independent directors” as defined in the Nasdaq listing standards and Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson are independent under applicable SEC rules. Our independent directors have regularly scheduled meetings at which only independent directors are present.

Legal Proceedings

To the knowledge of our management, there is no material litigation currently pending or, to our knowledge, contemplated against us, any of our officers or directors in their capacity as such or against any of our property.

Properties

We currently maintain our executive offices at 51 Astor Place, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10003. The cost for our use of this space is included in the $10,000 per month fee we pay to our Sponsor for office space, administrative and support services. We consider our current office space adequate for our current operations. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the principal executive offices of New Adagio will change.

Competition

In identifying, evaluating and selecting a target business for our initial business combination, we may encounter intense competition from other entities having a business objective similar to ours, including other blank check companies, private equity groups and leveraged buyout funds, public companies, and operating businesses seeking strategic acquisitions. Many of these entities are well established and have extensive experience identifying and effecting business combinations directly or through affiliates. Moreover, many of these competitors possess greater financial, technical, human and other resources than us. Our ability to acquire larger target businesses will be limited by our available financial resources. This inherent limitation gives others an advantage in pursuing the acquisition of a target business. Furthermore, our obligation to pay cash in connection with our Public Shareholders who properly

215

exercise their redemption rights may reduce the resources available to us for our initial business combination, and the future dilution they potentially represent, may not be viewed favorably by certain target businesses. Either of these factors may place us at a competitive disadvantage in successfully negotiating an initial business combination.

Periodic Reporting and Audited Financial Statements

ARYA has registered its securities under the Exchange Act and has reporting obligations, including the requirement to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC. In accordance with the requirements of the Exchange Act, ARYA’s annual reports contain financial statements audited and reported on by ARYA’s independent registered public accounting firm.

We are required to evaluate our internal control procedures as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Only in the event we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer or an accelerated filer and no longer qualify as an emerging growth company would we be required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirement on our internal control over financial reporting. A target business may not be in compliance with the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act regarding adequacy of their internal controls. The development of the internal controls of any such entity to achieve compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act may increase the time and costs necessary to complete any such acquisition.

We are a Cayman Islands exempted company. Exempted companies are Cayman Islands companies conducting business mainly outside the Cayman Islands and, as such, are exempted from complying with certain provisions of the Cayman Islands Companies Act. As an exempted company, we applied for and received a tax exemption undertaking from the Cayman Islands government that, in accordance with Section 6 of the Tax Concessions Act (2018 Revision) of the Cayman Islands, for a period of 20 years from the date of the undertaking, no law which is enacted in the Cayman Islands imposing any tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations will apply to us or our operations and, in addition, that no tax to be levied on profits, income, gains or appreciations or which is in the nature of estate duty or inheritance tax will be payable (i) on or in respect of our shares, debentures or other obligations or (ii) by way of the withholding in whole or in part of a payment of dividend or other distribution of income or capital by us to our shareholders or a payment of principal or interest or other sums due under a debenture or other obligation of us.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act. As such, we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. If some investors find our securities less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our securities and the prices of our securities may be more volatile.

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an “emerging growth company” can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We intend to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (i) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of our initial public offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.235 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our Class A ordinary shares that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30; and (ii) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.

Additionally, we are a “smaller reporting company” as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K. Smaller reporting companies may take advantage of certain reduced disclosure obligations, including, among other things, providing only two years of audited financial statements. We will remain a smaller reporting company until the last day of the fiscal year in which (i) the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $250 million as of the prior June 30, or (ii) our annual revenues exceeded $100 million during such completed fiscal year and the market value of our ordinary shares held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30.

ARYA’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this section to “ARYA,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to ARYA. The following discussion and analysis of ARYA’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with ARYA’s consolidated financial statements and notes to those statements included in this proxy statement/prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors. Please see “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated on August 24, 2020 as a Cayman Islands exempted company and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. Our sponsor is ARYA Sciences Holdings IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company.

Our registration statement for our initial public offering was declared effective on February 25, 2021. On March 2, 2021, we consummated the initial public offering of 14,950,000 Public Shares, including 1,950,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $149.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8.8 million, inclusive of approximately $5.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions. On August 8, 2022, ARYA received a waiver from one of its underwriters pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial business combination (the “Deferred Fee Waiver”). In connection with the Deferred Fee Waiver, the underwriter also agreed that (i) the Deferred Fee Waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at ARYA’s discretion, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial business combination.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, we consummated the private placement of 499,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million.

Upon the closing of the initial public offering and the private placement, $149.5 million ($10.00 per Public Share) of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and certain of the proceeds from the sale of the private placement were placed in a Trust Account, located in the United States with Continental acting as trustee, and were, from the consummation of the initial public offering through February 27, 2023, invested only in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions of Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act, as determined by us, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a business combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On February 27, 2023, ARYA delivered an instruction letter to Continental, acting as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial business combination or ARYA’s liquidation. ARYA is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that ARYA might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal. For more information on the partial liquidation of the Trust Account in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the related redemption of Class A ordinary shares, also see below under “—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal.”

As further described under “—Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal” and “—Adoption of Second Extension Amendment Proposal,” in connection with the adoption of the First Extension Amendment Proposal, 11,259,169 Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $115,071,882.05, and in connection with the adoption of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, 390,815 additional Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of approximately $4,358,804.

Our management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a business combination.

217

If we have not completed a business combination by the Termination Date, and do not otherwise amend the Existing Organizational Documents in view of further extending the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination, we will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to us to pay our income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of our remaining shareholders and the ARYA Board, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to our obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

We reviewed a number of opportunities to enter into a business combination with an operating business and entered into the Business Combination Agreement on February 13, 2024. We intend to effectuate the Business Combination through a combination of (i) shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the holders of securities of Adagio, (ii) cash held in the Trust Account net of redemptions and deferred underwriting discounts and (iii) gross proceeds from the PIPE Financing and the Convertible Security Financing.

The issuance of additional shares in a business combination:

• may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors in our initial public offering which will receive shares of New Adagio Common Stock in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination;

• may subordinate the rights of holders of Class A ordinary shares or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to holders of Class A ordinary shares in connection with the Business Combination if preference shares are issued with rights senior to those afforded to our Class A ordinary shares;

• could cause a change in control if a substantial number of our Class A ordinary shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock are issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;

• may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the share ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and

• may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A ordinary shares or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued in connection with the Business Combination.

Similarly, if we issue debt or otherwise incur significant debt, it could result in:

• default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;

• acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;

• our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt is payable on demand;

• our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;

• our inability to pay dividends on the ARYA Shares or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the consummation of the Business Combination;

• using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on the ARYA Shares or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock following the consummation of the Business Combination, if declared, expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes;

• limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

218

• increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation; and

• limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our strategy and other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

Proposed Business Combination

On February 13, 2024, ARYA, ListCo, ARYA Merger Sub, Company Merger Sub, and Adagio entered into the Business Combination Agreement. The Business Combination Agreement contains certain customary representations, warranties, and covenants by the parties thereto and the Closing is subject to certain customary conditions and risks as further described therein, under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal” and the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

Adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal

On February 27, 2023, ARYA delivered an instruction letter to Continental, acting as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or ARYA’s liquidation. ARYA is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that ARYA might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal described below.

On February 28, 2023, ARYA held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in view of approving an amendment to its Existing Governing Documents to extend the Termination Date from the Previous Termination Date to the Previous Articles Extension Date and to allow ARYA, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Previous Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the ARYA Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 2, 2024 or a total of up to thirty-six months after ARYA’s initial public offering, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with the initial three-month extension from the Original Termination Date to the Previous Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor made an initial deposit into the Trust Account of $420,000, in exchange for the Second Convertible Promissory Note. In connection with the optional monthly extensions following the Previous Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor made deposits of $140,000 per month into the Trust Account.

As contemplated by the Existing Governing Documents, the holders of Public Shares were able to elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. On February 28, 2023, the Extension Amendment Proposal was adopted and 11,259,169 Public Shares were redeemed.

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or ARYA’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan ARYA funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). In connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal, ARYA issued the Second Convertible Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $1,680,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and the funding of the deposits that ARYA is required to make pursuant to its Existing Governing Documents and following the request of the Sponsor in connection with an optional monthly extension of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination.

As of December 31, 2023, up to $1,380,000 of the amounts loaned under the Second Convertible Promissory Note were convertible, at the option of the Sponsor, into Working Capital Shares. This Working Capital Loan outstanding pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note will not bear any interest and will be repayable by ARYA to our Sponsor to the extent ARYA has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business combination. The maturity date of the total principal amount of the Second Convertible Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Convertible Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares issued or to be issued pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note and the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights

219

Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing. Any Working Capital Shares issuable upon conversion of the Second Convertible Promissory Note will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On April 18, 2023, June 2, 2023, July 6, 2023, August 2, 2023 and September 5, 2023, ARYA withdrew an additional $400,000, $140,000, $140,000, $140,000, and $165,000, respectively, from the Second Convertible Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $1,585,000 and $0, respectively, was drawn under the Second Convertible Promissory Note.

On September 27, 2023, ARYA entered into a third promissory note (the “Third Promissory Note”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $900,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and to fund the deposits required to be made into the Trust Account in connection with the monthly extensions of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents (the “Business Combination Period”).

Subsequently, on October 2, 2023, November 2, 2023, December 2, 2023, January 2, 2024 and February 2, 2024, ARYA approved additional one-month extensions of the Business Combination Period. In connection with such extensions and ARYA’s working capital needs, ARYA drew $900,000 from the Third Promissory Note.

On February 13, 2024, ARYA and the Sponsor entered into an amendment to the Second Convertible Promissory Note and amended and restated the Third Promissory Note. As a result of such amendments, the entire principal balance outstanding under each note will be convertible into Working Capital Shares.

Adoption of Second Extension Amendment Proposal

On February 8, 2024, ARYA entered into the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $1,000,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and to fund the deposits required to be made into the Trust Account in connection with the monthly extensions of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents and following the request of the Sponsor in connection with an optional monthly extension of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination.

On February 27, 2024, ARYA held a second extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in view of approving an amendment to its Existing Documents to extend the Termination Date from the Previous Termination Date to the Articles Extension Date and to allow ARYA, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis for up to eleven times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the ARYA Board, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 2, 2025 or a total of up to forty-eight months from the closing of the initial public offering, unless the closing of a business combination shall have occurred prior thereto. In connection with the initial one-month extension from the Previous Termination Date to the Articles Extension Date, the Company made a deposit into the Trust Account of $111,000 and drew down on the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note to finance this deposit. In connection with any subsequent optional monthly extensions following the Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor is expected to make deposits of $111,000 per month into the Trust Account and borrow the necessary funds from the Sponsor in the form of convertible notes, as provided for in the amendment to the Existing Governing Documents that was adopted on February 27, 2024. The aggregate principal amount loaned under the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note will be convertible at the option of our sponsor into Working Capital Shares. The maturity date of the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the Fourth Promissory Note). As of the date hereof, $836,000 were drawn under the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note.

As contemplated by the Existing Governing Documents, the holders of Public Shares were able to elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account in connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal. On February 27, 2024, the Second Extension Amendment Proposal was adopted and 390,815 Public Shares were redeemed. Following the adoption of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, ARYA had 3,799,016 Class A ordinary shares, including 3,300,016 Public Shares and 499,000 private placement shares, and 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Following the approval of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders represented 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares.

Results of Operations

Our entire activity since inception up to December 31, 2023 was in preparation for our formation and the Initial Public Offering, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective Business Combination. We will not be generating any operating revenues until the closing and completion of our Business Combination.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, we had net loss of approximately $2.1 million, which consisted of approximately $2.6 million in dividends and interest held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $4.7 million general and administrative expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2022, we had net income of approximately $1.1 million, which consisted of approximately $2.1 million in unrealized gains on marketable securities, dividends and interest held in Trust Account, partially offset by approximately $1.0 million general and administrative expenses.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2023, we had $20,191 in our operating bank account and working capital deficit of $12,276,486.

Our liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Class B ordinary shares, the loan of approximately $161,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”), the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account, the First Convertible Promissory Note, the Second Convertible Promissory Note and the Third Promissory Note. We fully repaid the Note upon closing of the initial public offering. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide ARYA Working Capital Loans.

As of December 31, 2022, there was $120,000 of borrowings outstanding under the First Convertible Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $1,585,000 and $0, respectively, was drawn under the Second Convertible Promissory Note. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $470,000 and $0, was drawn under the Third Promissory Note, respectively.

We cannot provide any assurance that new financing along the lines detailed above will be available to us on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Further, we have until the Termination Date to consummate a business combination, but we cannot provide assurance that we will be able to consummate a business combination by that date. If a business combination is not consummated by the required date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with ARYA’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASC Topic 205-40, “Basis of Presentation-Going Concern,” ARYA’s management has determined that the working capital deficit and mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about ARYA’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of a business combination or the date ARYA is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if ARYA is unable to continue as a going concern. We intend to complete our initial business combination before the mandatory liquidation date; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate any business combination by the Termination Date. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should we be required to liquidate after the Termination Date, nor do these financial statements include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

Related Party Transactions

Administrative Support Agreement

Commencing on the effective date of the registration statement on Form S-1 related to the initial public offering through the earlier of consummation of an initial business combination and ARYA’s liquidation, ARYA will reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to us in the amount of $10,000 per month. ARYA incurred approximately $120,000 and $120,000 in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, ARYA had $210,000 and $90,000, respectively, included in due to related party on the balance sheets.

221

Registration Rights

The holders of Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Shares, including Working Capital Shares that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that ARYA register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to ARYA’s completion of a business combination. However, the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement provides that ARYA will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Class B ordinary shares, in accordance with the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Shares, 30 days after the completion of a business combination. ARYA will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. As discussed under “—Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing.

Related Party Loans

On November 7, 2022, ARYA issued the First Convertible Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA borrowed $120,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes. Such Working Capital Loan may, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into Working Capital Shares at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per Working Capital Share. The terms of the Working Capital Shares will be identical to those of the Private Placement Shares that were issued to the Sponsor in connection with the initial public offering. The First Convertible Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by ARYA to the Sponsor, if not converted or repaid on the effective date of an initial merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses. The maturity date of such Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the First Convertible Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. Further, each newly issued Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares, as contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “—Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing and the lock up provisions included in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be replaced by certain provisions in the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing. Any Working Capital Shares issuable upon conversion of the First Convertible Promissory Note will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On February 28, 2023, ARYA issued the Second Convertible Promissory Note to the Sponsor in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $1,680,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and the funding of the deposits that ARYA is required to make pursuant to its Existing Governing Documents and following the request of the Sponsor in connection with an optional monthly extension of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination. The Second Convertible Promissory Note was amended on February 13, 2024 in order to increase the maximum principal amount that may be converted into Working Capital Shares to $1,680,000. Such Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ARYA to the Sponsor to the extent ARYA has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business combination. The maturity date of such Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the Second Convertible Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares issued pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the certain Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. Further, each newly issued Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares, as contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “—Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing and the lock up provisions included in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be replaced by certain provisions in the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing. As of March 31, 2024, $1,585,000 was drawn under the

222

Second Convertible Promissory Note. Any Working Capital Shares issuable upon conversion of the Second Convertible Promissory Note will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On September 27, 2023, ARYA issued the Third Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow $900,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and to fund the monthly deposits required to be made into the Trust Account in in order to extend the time period it has consummate a business combination. On February 13, 2024, the Third Promissory Note was amended and restated in order to make any principal amount outstanding under such note convertible, at the option of the Sponsor, into Working Capital Shares at $10.00 per share. Such Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest. In the event that ARYA does not consummate a business combination, the Third Promissory Note will be repaid from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Such Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ARYA to the Sponsor to the extent ARYA has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business combination. The maturity date of the such Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the Third Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares issued pursuant to the Third Promissory Note, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to that the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. Further, each newly issued Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares, as contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “—Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing and the lock up provisions included in the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be replaced by certain provisions in the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing. As of March 31, 2024, $900,000 were drawn under the Third Promissory Note. Any Working Capital Shares issuable upon conversion of the Third Promissory Note will not be registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements thereof provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

On February 8, 2024, ARYA issued the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow $1,000,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and to fund the monthly deposits required to be made into the Trust Account in order to extend the time period it has to consummate a business combination. The outstanding aggregate principal amount loaned under the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note may, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into Working Capital Shares, at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per Working Capital Share. Such Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest. In the event that ARYA does not consummate a business combination, the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note will be repaid from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. Such Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by ARYA to the Sponsor to the extent ARYA has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business combination.

Other Contractual Obligations

Underwriting Agreement

ARYA granted the underwriters in its initial public offering a 45-day option from the date of the final prospectus relating to the initial public offering to purchase up to 1,950,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 2, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.

The underwriters were paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Public Share, or approximately $3.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the initial public offering. In addition, $0.35 per Public Share, or approximately $5.2 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that ARYA complete a business combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement. On August 8, 2022, ARYA received the Deferred Fee Waiver pursuant to which one of its underwriters waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial business combination. In connection with the Deferred Fee Waiver, such underwriter also agreed that (i) the Deferred Fee Waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at the discretion of ARYA, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial business combination. The Deferred Fee Waiver resulted in a credit to shareholders’ deficit of the deferred underwriting commissions of approximately $2.6 million. Jefferies will still be entitled to its portion of the deferred underwriting commissions in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

For more information, see the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—ARYA.”

Risks and Uncertainties

Results of operations and ARYA’s ability to complete a business combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. ARYA’s business of pursuing and consummating an initial business combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine or the conflict in Israel and Palestine. ARYA cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may materially impact ARYA’s business and its ability to complete an initial business combination.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

ARYA is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and is not required to provide the information otherwise required under this item.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Critical Accounting Policies

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

ARYA accounts for the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the

224

control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Class A ordinary shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 3,690,831 and 14,950,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of our condensed balance sheets, respectively.

ARYA recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. This method would view the end of the reporting period as if it were also the redemption date for the security. Immediately upon the closing of the initial public offering, ARYA recognized the accretion from initial book value to redemption amount, which resulted in charges against additional paid-in capital (to the extent available) and accumulated deficit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2023, ARYA did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

JOBS Act

The JOBS Act contains provisions that, among other things, relax certain reporting requirements for qualifying public companies. We qualify as an “emerging growth company” and under the JOBS Act are allowed to comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements based on the effective date for private (not publicly traded) companies. We are electing to delay the adoption of new or revised accounting standards, and, as a result, we may not comply with new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for non-emerging growth companies. As a result, the financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with new or revised accounting pronouncements as of public company effective dates.

Additionally, we are in the process of evaluating the benefits of relying on the other reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an “emerging growth company,” we choose to rely on such exemptions we may not be required to, among other things, (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, (iii) comply with any requirement that may be adopted by the PCAOB regarding mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor’s report providing additional information about the audit and the financial statements (auditor discussion and analysis) and (iv) disclose certain executive compensation related items such as the correlation between executive compensation and performance and comparisons of the executive compensation to median employee compensation. These exemptions will apply for a period of five years following the completion of our initial public offering or until we are no longer an “emerging growth company,” whichever is earlier.

BUSINESS OF ADAGIO AND CERTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT ADAGIO

Business Summary

Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Business Summary to “Adagio,” “we,” “us,” “our” and other similar terms refer to Adagio prior to the Business Combination and to New Adagio and its consolidated subsidiaries after giving effect to the Business Combination.

Overview

Adagio is a medical device company developing and placing on the EU market innovative ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (“AF”), atrial flutter (“AFL”), and ventricular tachycardia (“VT”). Adagio’s unique technology portfolio consists of Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation (“ULTC”) by itself, and in combination with Pulsed Field Ablation (Pulsed Field Cryoablation or “PFCA”), both developed with the vision that ability to consistently create durable, contiguous, and transmural myocardial lesions is essential for improving the effectiveness and outcomes of cardiac ablations in both atria and ventricles, and a key to unlocking sizeable market opportunities within the fast-growing segment of advanced electrophysiology (“EP”) ablation catheters. In contrast to the common practice of reutilizing once-established catheter design and energy source for multiple anatomic and physiologic targets, Adagio purpose-builds its product portfolio to maximize effectiveness, enabled by the strength and flexibility provided by the foundational physical principles of our technology. Adagio has established a robust cadence of the clinical trials designed to evaluate its technology and gain regulatory approvals across the entirety of the product portfolio, with the preliminary data suggestive of outcomes, such as the combination of safety, acute and chronic effectiveness, favorable to the current standard of care, i.e. ablations performed using radiofrequency (“RF”), cryoballoon (“CRYO”) and emerging pulsed field ablation (“PFA”) catheters and energy sources, as applicable based on the arrhythmia type. Although direct comparisons in head-to-head randomized trials have not been performed, such favorable outcomes in PsAF patients in the first-in-human CRYOSURE-2 trial include 85% freedom from AF in patients after a single ULTC procedure (versus 51%-65% reported for other catheter technologies) and 98.5% of subjects in the device cryomapping cohort did not experience device-related complications. In VT patients in the first-in-human CRYOCURE-VT trial, such favorable outcomes include a 0% rate of major adverse events (versus 11.5% significant complications, including deaths, reported for VT ablation procedures using other catheter technologies), 94% acute procedural success, 60% freedom from sustained VT and 81% freedom from implantable cardioverter defibrillator shock at six months. Adagio’s iCLAS™ ULTC System and VT ULTC System (inclusive of vCLAS™ catheter) have obtained regulatory approvals in the EU for commercialization, and the approval for the PFCA System (inclusive of Cryopulse™ catheter) will be sought after completion of the PARALELL trial. In the U.S., both iCLAS and VT ULTC systems remain subject to receipt of regulatory approvals upon completion of the ongoing or planned pivotal clinical trials, while the pathway to regulatory approval of PFCA system remains under consideration. For more detailed information, see “Business of Adagio and Certain Information About Adagio—Business Summary—Adagio Product Portfolio.”

MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Based on the analysis of publicly reported revenue and investor presentations of the major incumbents as well as the syndicated market research, Adagio’s management believes that the worldwide market for catheter-based diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias (also known as cardiac EP) is currently valued at approximately $7.3 billion and consists broadly of several categories: (1) EP mapping and recording systems, (2) access devices, (3) cardiac diagnostic catheters, and (4) ablation catheters.

As indicated in the chart below, the ablation catheter segment represents the largest component of the cardiac EP market, accounting for approximately 43% of the current market opportunity, or $3.2 billion. Further defined, approximately 75% or $2.4 billion in the ablation catheter segment market are attributable to “advanced catheters” segment, which includes modern irrigated radiofrequency (“RF”) ablation catheters (particularly those with force sensing), cryoballoon catheters, RF balloon catheters, laser balloon catheters, and increasingly pulsed field ablation (“PFA”) catheters.

Management estimates. Adopted from St. Jude Medical Analyst and Investor Meeting 2016: https://www.slideshare.net/ir_stjude/stj-2016-analyst-and-investor-day-presentation-v2

 

(1)
Management estimates based on the analysis of data from private and public sources with respect to the U.S. and certain other countries and management’s assumptions that (i) the growth rate data for the U.S. and such other countries from such sources, taken together, may represent the growth rate of the global market as a whole, and (ii) the markets of the U.S. and such other countries will continue to grow at rates consistent with the growth rates during the historical periods (generally between 2010 and 2020 with variances in the period depending on the source) covered by the data analyzed.

Advanced catheters are used in complex ablations, principally for AF and VT. Some of these catheters, also known as “single-shot” catheters, are designed to treat specific anatomic targets and cardiac conditions, while others (such as point-by-point RF catheters) have broader utility and utilization. The overall cardiac EP market using advanced ablation catheters has historically grown at high single-digit to low double-digits annually, driven significantly by the growth in the number of complex ablation procedures.

Atrial Fibrillation

Based on a multi-year analysis of the insurance claims in the U.S. and country-level surveys published in the peer-reviewed medical journals, Adagio’s management believes that AF ablations are the largest segment of the complex ablations market, representing an estimated 87% of total procedures and growing 10-13% annually. AF results from disorganized and erratic electrical activity in the upper chambers of the heart and is a common condition with estimated prevalence and annual incidence in the United States of approximately 8.5 million and approximately 1.9 million, respectively. Incident growth is estimated to be at approximately 4% annually, driven by an aging

227

population, as well as other well-known risk factors such as obesity, obstructive sleep apnea and various lifestyle choices. AF can be highly symptomatic, resulting in emergency room visits, hospitalizations and cardioversions, and carries a five-fold increase in stroke risk.

Currently, first-line therapies for AF include systemic anticoagulants to prevent thromboembolic events and anti-arrhythmic drug therapy for rhythm control. When medical management fails to adequately address the underlying symptoms of AF or is poorly tolerated, AF patients may turn to cardiac ablations as a second-line therapy. The clinical goal of cardiac ablations is to deliver targeted applications of energy to cardiac tissue in order to interrupt and isolate aberrant electric circuits. This energy is delivered using catheters advanced into the heart endovascularly.

It is estimated that approximately 230,000 endovascular catheter ablations are performed annually in the United States. Additionally, a smaller number of ablations are performed surgically, typically in patients undergoing concomitant surgery for other primary causes, such as cardiac valve replacement or coronary artery bypass. Clinical studies aimed at demonstrating that catheter ablations are a more effective first-line therapy versus medical therapy have largely failed to show statistical benefit. The CABANA trial, while showing a relative benefit in lowering adverse events associated with AF, failed to show superior relative outcomes. Despite these data, AF ablation procedures, while still only representing approximately 12% of newly diagnosed disease, are growing by double-digits annually, which we believe is largely driven by the growing acceptance by patients, referring physicians, and improved procedural characteristics.

In our view, failure of cardiac ablations to gain an indication as first-line therapy in AF stems, at least partially, from its limited effectiveness and durability. Historically, only approximately 70% of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (“PAF”), defined as arrhythmia episodes lasting less than seven days and generally representing an earlier phase of otherwise progressive disease, remained AF-free within the first year after single cardiac ablation, irrespective of the type of the catheter and energy source used for the ablations. These results include most recently available PFA. In comparison, approximately 85% of PAF patients remained AF-free within the first year after undergoing surgical treatment of arrhythmia, although with a significantly higher rate of serious complications (approximately 17%, as opposed to approximately 6% for PAF patients after single cardiac ablation). Cardiac ablations in patients with persistent AF (PsAF, defined as arrhythmia episodes lasting longer than seven days or requiring external termination, also known as cardioversion), representing approximately 40% of the patients undergoing ablations, appear to be even less effective, with approximately 50-60% of such patients remaining AF-free within the first year after single cardiac ablation.

 

 

229

However, as catheter ablation procedures are becoming more efficient and safer, we believe ablation modality and associated procedural approaches can demonstrate significant improvement in therapy effectiveness without significant increase in complications. We believe this trend has the potential to lead to an estimated 6-8 times increase in the compound annual growth rate for the ablation procedure growth, thus dramatically growing the current approximately $2.1 billion market of advanced catheters.

 

Ventricular Tachyarrhythmias

VT ablations currently account for about 12% of all complex ablations, representing an estimated $0.3 billion current market opportunity. Compared to AF ablations, VT ablations are performed on a more diverse set of patients and conditions, generally falling into two categories: (1) patients with monomorphic ventricular tachycardias originating from myocardial scaring as a consequence of structural heart disease and (2) patients with VT not associated with structural heart disease (idiopathic VT). Patients with VT due to structural heart disease account for approximately 75% of the estimated 32,000 VT ablations performed annually in the United States, with the remaining 25% performed mostly in patients with symptomatic idiopathic VT, including symptomatic premature ventricular contractions (“PVC”).

 

230

The estimated U.S. prevalence of patients with structural heart disease, of both ischemic and non-ischemic origin, susceptible to ventricular tachycardia is 3.5 million. Because of the elevated risk of sudden cardiac death (“SCD”) associated with their condition, the majority of these patients are indicated for live-saving implantable cardioverter defibrillator (“ICD”) implants. While the ICD implants address their risk of SCD, these patients remain vulnerable to recurrent symptomatic episodes of ventricular arrhythmias. These symptomatic VT episodes could prompt deleterious, unneeded ICD cardioversions, hospitalizations and cardiac decompensations.

Ablation therapy in patients with structural heart disease to address VT has been clinically shown to reduce the frequency of symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias including repeat, uncontrollable arrhythmias known as VT storms, reduce ICD shocks and be a viable alternative to escalation of the anti-arrhythmic medications. The prophylactic use of catheter ablation in select ICD patients has also been suggested. However, similar to AF ablation therapy, VT ablation therapy for patients with structural heart disease is only recommended as second-line therapy. The indications for ablative treatment of symptomatic idiopathic VT vary significantly based on arrhythmia sub-types, yet the estimated annual incidence of the condition, which is upwards of 100,000 in the United States, suggests that ablation treatments remain underutilized, even when limited to patients with deleterious arrhythmia burden of over 20%.

VT ablation procedures have been growing by approximately 7% annually, driven in part by the advances in electroanatomic mapping technologies and operator training. We believe investments in new cardiac ablation technologies designed specifically for the anatomic and functional environment of the ventricle, coupled with features addressing the patient morbidity challenges, could markedly expand market growth. Today, VT ablations are performed using RF catheters almost exclusively designed and approved initially for atrial ablations. Procedures remain technically complex, consume considerable resources and are associated with a nearly 11.5% rate of serious complications, including death, particularly in patients with structural heart disease, which comprise a majority of the VT ablations performed. The catheter ablation modality with more advantageous safety profile and improved rates of both acute and potentially long-term success may increase the therapy penetration and lead to a 2-3 times growth of a catheter market that is currently estimated to be $0.3 billion.

Current Ablation Catheter Technology Landscape

Today, the ablation catheter technology landscape is dominated by point-by-point contact ablation catheter technology primarily by Biosense Webster and Abbott Electrophysiology, with a significant minority (up to 30-40%) occupied by cryoballoon technology by Medtronic Cardiac Ablation Solutions and, increasingly, Boston Scientific Electrophysiology.

 

233

The equivalent clinical effectiveness of these technologies in treatment of the Paroxysmal AF (“PAF”) using the pulmonary vein isolation (“PVI”) approach has recently been demonstrated in the CIRCA-DOSE randomized clinical trial, with similar procedure times, freedom from arrhythmias at one year and similar complications rates in both RF and cryoballoon arms. The trial was funded by a peer-reviewed grant from the Stroke Foundation of Canada with additional funding from Medtronic and University of British Columbia and enrolled 353 patients at eight Canadian sites between September 2014 and July 2017. The contribution of pulmonary veins (“PVs”) to the genesis of AF was first described in 1998, and the PVI, i.e., creation of closed-loop, contiguous lesions along the junction of each vein with left atrium, remains the primary ablation strategy in AF patients.

Point-by-point RF technology retains the advantage of offering physicians greater flexibility to perform ablations beyond PVI, and thus, theoretically, creates higher utility in more advanced PsAF patients, although the effectiveness of the more extensive RF ablations has been challenged in several randomized clinical trials. The complicating factors in using point-by-point RF are the technical skills of the physicians and the preferential use of electroanatomic mapping to create a contiguous ablation line using the catheter tip. The same technical factors that complicate catheter performance

234

for AF ablations are further magnified in VT ablations. We believe this is likely due to more complicated anatomy and active cardiac motion affecting lesion formation. Furthermore, the insufficient depth of RF lesions, particularly in the area of myocardial scar targeted during procedures in patients with structural heart disease, limits the effectiveness of ablation deeper in thick ventricular tissue.

In contrast, cryoballoon technology was designed primarily for PV isolation using purely anatomical placement and lesion contiguity theoretically achieved via pliable contact between the tissue and the balloon. The technical vulnerabilities of the cryoballoon technologies include the contiguity of catheter-tissue contact and lesion durability due to the sensitivity to the local thermal load and insufficient ablative power delivered by the gaseous cryogen.

Farapulse™ PFA technology offered by Boston Scientific still represents a very small part of the market. To date, the results of several clinical trials evaluating performance of different PFA systems and catheter designs for PVI have been published, including Medtronic’s PULSED AF trial, Biosense Webster’s InspIRE trial and Boston Scientific’s ADVENT trial. The treatment success at 12 months in PULSED AF trial was 66.2% in PAF patients and 55.1% in PsAF patients. Similarly, the interim analysis of InspIRE cohort showed 70.9% primary effectiveness in PAF patients. Lastly, the randomized ADVENT trial demonstrated equivalent primary effectiveness in PAF patients as compared to RF/Cryo (73.3% vs 71.3%, p=ns), matching closely PAF effectiveness data from MANIFEST-PF registry (73.8% for PAF vs with 65.1% for PsAF). In randomized comparison, the rate of serious complications was equivalent between study arms. Consequently, it appears that the combination of contiguity, transmurality and durability of the lesions affecting the overall effectiveness of treatment across both established and novel ablation modalities so far remains the same, despite continuing investments in technology and clinical development.

ADAGIO TECHNOLOGY

Adagio’s technology was created on the hypothesis that the ability to consistently create durable, contiguous and transmural lesions is a foundation for improving the effectiveness and outcomes of cardiac ablations in both atria and ventricles. Our unique technology portfolio consists of ULTC by itself, and in combination with PFCA.

235

Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation (ULTC)

In contrast to current cryoballoon technology based on the rapid evaporation (Joule-Thompson effect) of the compressed nitrous oxide (N₂O) with a boiling temperature of -89.5⁰C, our ULTC uses nitrogen (N₂). The gas is pressurized beyond its critical point and cooled to its boiling temperature of -196⁰C. Such “near-critical” nitrogen combines the flow properties of gas with density and thermal capacity of liquid, making it an ideal refrigerant for use in the endovascular environment. The high pressure suppresses evaporation and ensures continuous, vapor lock-free flow through small lumen catheters. Under such conditions, the refrigerant can be brought into close proximity and applied to the tissue targeted for ablation through a proprietary cryoablation catheter at temperatures close to -196⁰C. In pre-clinical experiments, the cryogenic power supplied by such technology was sufficient to achieve the temperatures at or below -30⁰C deep into the tissue, resulting in formation of intracellular ice and instantaneous and permanent death of cardiac tissue. The contiguity of such durable lesions could be assured by length, shape, and mechanical properties of the ablation element, while depth and transmurality can be titrated by the duration of the freeze.

 

Key Benefits of ULTC

• AF ablations: The goal of any new catheter ablation technology development in AF treatment is the ability to match arrhythmia recurrence outcomes achievable in surgery, while retaining the low complications rate of endovascular procedures. The CRYOCURE-2 trial has demonstrated approximately 85% freedom from AF at 12 months in patients with PsAF after a single ULTC procedure, which consisted of PVI and left atrial posterior wall isolation (“PWI”), with approximately 1.5% complications rate. If confirmed in larger ongoing trials, we believe such findings would make ULTC a highly effective way to perform AF ablations, at least in the PsAF population.

• VT ablations: The mechanistic benefit of the ULTC compared to commonly used RF ablation catheters is the depth and size of the lesions that ULTC can create in order to terminate malignant monomorphic VT in patient population with structural heart disease. The depth of ULTC lesions observed in pre-clinical studies would give physicians a new ability to easily ablate midmyocardial scars of both ischemic and non-ischemic origin, which are prevalent in these patient cohorts. The large lateral size of the lesions would allow physicians to utilize only a small number of ablations, performing otherwise complex procedures faster, safely, and effectively. The initial acute outcomes of the ongoing CRYOCURE-VT study demonstrated approximately 94% acute effectiveness of ULTC system with the average of only nine lesions used per procedure and 0% of major adverse events (“MAE”).

Whereas ULTC has not been tested directly against the technologies listed below, our CRYOCURE-2 trial has demonstrated approximately 85% freedom from AF at 12 months in patients with PsAF.

237

Pulsed Field Cryoablation Ablation (PFCA)

The transmurality and durability of the ULTC lesions depends on achieving sub -30⁰C temperatures throughout the entire thickness of the target tissues. Depending on the thickness of the tissue, up to several minutes of freeze time and a second “bonus” freeze at the same location may be required. In contrast, the PFA lesions could be created within seconds, albeit of more limited depth and with undesirable clinical side effects such as muscle/phrenic nerve capture, microbubble showers, and the possibility of coronary vasospasm when ablating in proximity of coronary arteries. Thus, while PFA has drawn physicians’ attention due to ease of use and greater safety profile, the therapy has failed to show incremental clinical durability compared to RF and Cryoballoon ablation.

238

Our PFCA is intended to combine the proprietary benefits of ULTC and PFA while minimizing their respective limitations. PFCA consists of the short duration ULTC freeze followed by PFA delivered through the same catheter. The ULTC results in the significant increase in the impedance and electric field generated by PFA within the frozen tissue, while decreasing electric field and parasitic electric current elsewhere. This latter capability helps eliminate muscle and phrenic nerve capture while minimizing the microbubbles and possibility of vasospasm, thus addressing a key limitation of regular PFA. In effect, ULTC pre-treatment “focuses” PFA, further increasing the selectivity of ablation and, since the area of the increased impedance extends deeper in the tissue than the -30⁰C isotherm, PFCA lesions of a desired depth can be achieved in a fraction of time required for equivalent ULTC alone.

 

239

Key benefits of PFCA

While PFCA’s modality is still under evaluation for safety and effectiveness, we believe that PFCA can improve the efficiency of ULTC procedures without sacrificing safety and effectiveness.

ADAGIO PRODUCT PORTFOLIO

Adagio’s product portfolio consists of three product families: iCLAS™ atrial ULTC catheter and accessories, vCLAS™ ventricular ULTC catheter, and Cryopulse™ atrial PFCA catheter and accessories. All of these catheters share the same ULTC cryoablation console. A standalone PFA console connected to a cryoablation console for PFCA treatment synchronization is used in conjunction with Cryopulse catheter, subject to future integration for maximum operational flexibility and minimum footprint.

Atrial Catheters

• The unique feature of the iCLAS ULTC catheter is its ability to create a patient-tailored set of single-shot circular, linear and focal atrial lesions of varying dimensions by in-vivo “molding” of the flexible, 11 cm long ablation element using a shaped stylet inserted through the catheter handle. The 8.5 Fr catheter also features 20 electrodes located within the cryoablation element and more distal diagnostic segment of the catheter for the purpose of the intracardiac sensing and pacing, through the standard connections to commercial EP recording and electroanatomic mapping systems.

• The iCLAS system is CE-marked with the indication for treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, persistent atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, and is currently evaluated in the Investigational Device

240

Exemption (IDE) trial in the United States (NCT 04061603). The study has enrolled 183 patients with persistent atrial fibrillation at 13 sites within the United States and seven sites outside the United States, with the data readout expected in Q3 2024 with expected premarket approvals (“PMA”) application approval in Q1 2025.

• The Cryopulse PFCA catheter shares the physical characteristics and stylet-driven operation of the iCLAS catheter, with 16 intracardiac sensing/pacing electrodes within the cryoablation element optimized for delivery of PFA. Cryopulse catheter will be under evaluation in the 90-patient PARALELL trial at seven sites in Europe and Canada. The trial is expected to complete its original enrollment in Q4 2024, followed by 12-months follow-up. The CE-mark application process is expected to start in Q2 2025.

Ventricular Catheter

• In contrast to the common approach of using the catheters approved for atrial ablations in the ventricle, the vCLAS ventricular catheter has been specifically designed for treatment of the ventricular arrhythmia. The 9 Fr bi-directionally deflectable catheter features 15 mm long non-flexible ablation element with 8 electrodes for intracardiac sensing/pacing. The performance of vCLAS catheter for ablation of monomorphic VTs in patients with structural heart disease was evaluated in the 64-patient CRYOCURE-VT study at nine sites in Europe and Canada. The trial has completed its primary chronic effectiveness endpoint, leading to a CE-mark approval for VT Cryoablation System and vCLAS catheter in Q1 2024. On April 26, 2024, Adagio received a letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approving Adagio’s requests to increase the number of study sites and subjects in Adagio’s pivotal study (Cryoablation for Monomorphic Ventricular Tachycardia) for its vCLAS Cryoablation System and to modify the study documents and device design to support the pivotal phase of such study.

SALES AND MARKETING

Our customers include cardiac electrophysiologists, physicians specially trained to perform complex cardiac ablations, as well as the staff and administration of the centers performing complex ablations. In the geographies where our products are available commercially, we engage our customers using a direct sales force and field clinical support staff. In Europe and UK, these activities are managed through our wholly-owned European subsidiary, Adagio Medical GmbH (“Adagio Germany”). Following the clearance or approval of our products by the FDA, we expect to deploy direct sales force also in the United States. We may explore partnership and distributorship arrangements for our products outside of key geographies and countries.

Our product offerings consist largely of the single use ablation catheters and consoles. We expect to sell the catheters to customers at or above prevailing market prices for comparable products, based on the local economic and reimbursement environments. We also expect to realize additional revenue through service contracts on the installed consoles that are performed in accordance with local laws and regulations.

We believe that the technical and clinical capabilities of our field force, and their ability to integrate our products into established clinical workflows, will be the main drivers to the successful adoption of our product offerings. In preparation for our product launches, we are working to expand our European field team and further invest in physician training and proctorship programs. Additionally, we continue to support real-world post-market evidence development to confirm and refine the benefits of ULTC and PFCA technologies in specific clinical scenarios and to help build best clinical practices for utilization and patient selection.

We believe that EU commercial availability of the vCLAS catheter and VT Cryoablation System in Q2 2024 combined with the results of CRYOCURE-VT study will generate customer demand for Adagio’s ablation technology. Our near-term focus will be to deploy our technology in select high-volume VT ablation centers in Europe, including Germany and the United Kingdom, to demonstrate real-world utility and market share gains, and, over time, increased therapy penetration. We believe that this approach, supplemented by the post-market evidence generation, will lay the foundation for the mid-term growth in the number of active centers and Adagio’s VT ablation procedures.

We believe that the improvement in the patient outcomes observed in the CRYOCURE-2 study may have significant positive impact of health economics of AF treatment. If those findings are confirmed by the larger ongoing study in the U.S., we may engage appropriate regulatory and payor authorities as well as patient advocacy groups to explore the ways to realize those savings through the use of Company’s technology. At the same time, we believe that in the near term the AF ablations market will remain challenging as Boston Scientific, Medtronic and Johnson & Johnson launch their new PFA offerings worldwide and compete strongly, particularly in the segment of PVI-only ablations. Therefore, our market development in AF will be focused on establishing a number of centers of excellence focused on taking the full advantage of the flexibility of the iCLAS (and subsequently Cryopulse) technology to treat more complex, PsAF patients. Since iCLAS, vCLAS and Cryopulse catheters share the same cryoablation platform, in the EU, we believe this segmental AF strategy will be further facilitated by Adagio’s unique position in VT ablations at top-tier, high-volume centers. Our strategy to establish synergistic, top-tier centers will also be applicable in the U.S., where we believe the top 150 centers (rank-ordered by the volume of VT ablations) account for approximately 50% of VT and approximately 40% of AF ablation volumes.

FACILITIES, MANUFACTURING AND SUPPLY

Our corporate headquarters and manufacturing, storage and distribution centers for our catheters and consoles are located at Laguna Hills, California. The facility is approximately 14,600 square feet, which includes clean room space. Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Adagio Germany, operates out of a leased facility of approximately 227 square meters in Holzkirchen, Germany, which is used for general administrative purposes and as a distribution center for our European operation. We do not own any real property and believe that our current facilities are sufficient to support our operations and growth plans and that, additional space, if needed, will be available on commercially reasonably terms.

244

Our manufacturing and distribution operations are subject to regulatory requirements of the European Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC and amendments, or MDD, and certain aspects of the European Medical Devices Regulation 2017/745 and amendments, or MDR, for medical devices marketed in the European Union. When we begin marketing and distributing our products in the United States, we will be subject to the FDA’s Quality System Regulation, or QSR, set forth in 21 CFR part 820. Our Laguna Hills facility is certified to have established and is maintaining a quality management system pursuant to the requirements of the ISO 13485:2016 standard. In addition, the Laguna Hills facility is licensed by the California Department of Public Health, or CDPH. We are also subject to applicable local regulations relating to the environment, waste management and health and safety matters, including measures relating to the release, use, storage, treatment, transportation, discharge, disposal, sale, labeling, collection, recycling, treatment and remediation of hazardous substances.

TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH (München, Germany) (TÜV SÜD) monitors our compliance with the MDD requirements through annual scheduled audits and unannounced audits of the Laguna Hills facilities.

Our failure, or the failure of our suppliers or third-party manufacturers, to maintain acceptable quality requirements could result in the shutdown of our manufacturing operations or the recall of our products, which would harm our business. In the event that one of our suppliers or third-party manufacturers fails to maintain acceptable quality requirements, we may have to qualify a new supplier and could experience a material adverse effect to manufacturing and manufacturing delays as a result.

We procure a broad range of the components and raw materials required for manufacturing of our catheters and consoles, including plastic and precious metals components and raw materials, complex electromechanical assemblies, electronic components and electronic assemblies. In addition, the Esophageal Warming Balloon marketed as a part of iCLAS™ Cryoablation System is supplied to us by third party manufacturer. The identification and qualification of the suppliers is governed by the relevant provisions of our QMS. As such, we can be materially adversely affected by disruptions in global supply chain, as well as inability of our suppliers to maintain required quality of the components and raw materials supplied to us, resulting in temporary hold or shutdown of our manufacturing and distribution operations.

We will pursue the opportunities for facility expansion as well as the transfer of the part or whole of the manufacturing operation to qualified third-party suppliers as warranted by business conditions.

Government Regulation

U.S. Food & Drug Administration

Our products and operations are subject to extensive and ongoing regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, or FDCA, and its implementing regulations, as well as other federal and state regulatory bodies in the United States. The laws and regulations govern, among other things, product design and development, laboratory testing, preclinical and clinical testing, manufacturing and release, packaging, labeling, storage, record keeping and reporting, premarket clearance or approval, establishment registration and device listing, marketing, distribution, promotion, import and export, product complaints, recalls and field safety corrective actions, and post-marketing surveillance.

Unless an exemption applies, each new or significantly modified medical device we seek to commercially distribute in the United States will require either a premarket notification to the FDA requesting permission for commercial distribution under Section 510(k) of the FDCA, also referred to as a 510(k) clearance, a de novo classification request, or approval from the FDA of a PMA application. Generally, if a new device is considered low- or moderate-risk and has a predicate that is already on the market under a 510(k) clearance, the FDA will allow that new device to be marketed under a 510(k) clearance; otherwise, a de novo or PMA is required. The 510(k) clearance, de novo classification request and PMA processes can be resource intensive, expensive, and lengthy, and require payment of significant user fees, unless an exemption is available.

Device Classification

Under the FDCA, medical devices are classified into one of three classes—Class I, Class II, or Class III—depending on the degree of risk associated with each medical device and the extent of control needed to provide reasonable assurances with respect to safety and effectiveness.

Class I includes devices deemed to be the lowest risk to the patient and are those for which safety and effectiveness can be reasonably assured by adherence to general controls that include compliance with the applicable

245

portions of the QSR, facility registration and product listing, reporting of adverse events and malfunctions, and appropriate, truthful and non-misleading labeling, advertising and promotional materials. Some Class I devices, called Class I reserved devices, require premarket clearance by the FDA through the 510(k) premarket notification process described below. Most Class I products, however, are exempt from the premarket notification requirements and therefore may be commercially distributed without obtaining 501(k) clearance from the FDA.

Class II devices are those that are subject to the general controls, and special controls as deemed necessary by the FDA to provide reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device. These special controls can include performance standards, patient registries, FDA guidance documents and post-market surveillance. Most Class II devices are subject to premarket review and clearance by the FDA. As a result, most Class II devices require the manufacturer to submit to the FDA a Premarket Notification (or “PMN” or “510(k)”) requesting permission to commercially distribute the devices.

Class III devices include devices deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk such as life-supporting or life-sustaining devices, or implantable devices, in addition to those deemed novel and not substantially equivalent following the 510(k) process. The safety and effectiveness of Class III devices cannot be reasonably assured solely by the general controls and special controls described above. Therefore, these devices are subject to the PMA application process, which is generally more costly and time consuming than the 510(k) process.

The Investigational Device Process

In the United States, absent certain limited exceptions, human clinical trials intended to support medical device clearance, de novo classification, or approval require compliance with FDA investigational devise exemption (“IDE”) regulations in 21 CFR Part 812. Trials that present “non-significant risk” do not require FDA review or approval of an IDE application. These non-significant risk trials are deemed to have an approved IDE once certain requirements are addressed, and institutional review board (IRB) approval is obtained. If a device presents a “significant risk” to human health, as defined by the FDA, the sponsor must submit an IDE application to the FDA and obtain IDE approval prior to commencing the human clinical trials. The IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results, showing that the risks to subjects are outweighed by the anticipated benefits and that the testing protocol is scientifically sound. The IDE application must be approved in advance by the FDA for a specified number of subjects at specified study sites. Generally, clinical trials for a significant risk device may begin once the IDE application is approved by the FDA and the trial protocol and informed consent are approved by appropriate IRBs. An IRB is an appropriately constituted group that has been formally designated to review and monitor medical research involving subjects and which has the authority to approve, require modifications in, or disapprove research to protect the rights, safety and welfare of human research subjects. There can be no assurance that submission of an IDE application will result in the ability to commence clinical trials, and although the FDA’s approval of an IDE application allows clinical testing to go forward for a specified number of subjects, it does not bind the FDA to accept the results of the trial as sufficient to prove the product’s safety and effectiveness, even if the trial meets its intended success criteria. All clinical trials must be conducted in accordance with the FDA’s IDE regulations that govern investigational device labeling, prohibit promotion and specify an array of recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring responsibilities of trial sponsors and trial investigators. Clinical trials must further comply with the FDA’s good clinical practice regulations for IRB approval and for informed consent and other human subject protections. Required records and reports are subject to inspection by the FDA. The FDA or the IRB may withdraw approval of a clinical trial, or place a trial on clinical hold at any time for various reasons, including a belief that the risks to study subjects outweigh the benefits or a failure to comply with FDA or IBM requirements. Even if a trial is complete, the results of clinical testing may be unfavorable, or, even if the intended safety and effectiveness success criteria are achieved, may not be considered sufficient for the FDA to grant marketing approval or clearance of a product.

The 510(k) Clearance Process

Under the 510(k) clearance process, the manufacturer must submit to the FDA a premarket notification with adequate information demonstrating that the device is “substantially equivalent,” as defined in the FDCA, to a legally marketed predicate device.

A predicate device is a legally marketed device that is not subject to premarket approval, i.e., a device that was legally marketed prior to May 28, 1976 (pre-amendments device) and for which a PMA is not required, a device that has been reclassified from Class III to Class II or I, or a device that was previously found substantially equivalent

246

through the 510(k) process. To be “substantially equivalent,” the proposed device must have the same intended use as the predicate device, and either have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device or have different technological characteristics and not raise different questions of safety or effectiveness than the predicate device. Clinical data is sometimes required to support substantial equivalence.

After a 510(k) premarket notification is submitted, the FDA determines whether to accept it for substantive review. If it lacks necessary information for substantive review, the FDA will refuse to accept the 510(k) notification. If it is accepted for filing, the FDA begins a substantive review. By statute, the FDA is required to complete its review of a 510(k) notification within 90 days of receiving the 510(k) notification. As a practical matter, clearance often takes longer, and clearance is never assured. Although many 510(k) premarket notifications are cleared without clinical data, the FDA may require further information, including clinical data, to make a determination regarding substantial equivalence, which may significantly prolong the review process. If the FDA agrees that the device is substantially equivalent, it will grant clearance for the new device, permitting the applicant to commercially market the device. The FDA may also require post-market surveillance for certain devices cleared under a 510(k) notification, such as implants or life-supporting or life-sustaining devices used outside a device user facility.

If the FDA determines that the device is not “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device, or if there is no adequate predicate to which a manufacturer can compare the device such that the device is automatically classified into Class III, the device sponsor must then fulfill the much more rigorous premarketing requirements of the PMA approval process, or seek reclassification of the device through the de novo process. A manufacturer can also submit a petition for direct de novo review if the manufacturer is unable to identify an appropriate predicate device and the new device or new use of the device presents a moderate or low risk.

After a device receives 510(k) clearance, any modification that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness, or that would constitute a new or major change in its intended use, will require a new 510(k) clearance or, depending on the modification, could require a PMA application or de novo classification. The FDA requires each manufacturer to determine whether the proposed change requires submission of a 510(k) or a PMA in the first instance, but the FDA can review any such decision and disagree with a manufacturer’s determination. Many minor modifications are accomplished by a letter-to-file in which the manufacture documents the change in an internal letter-to-file. The letter-to-file is in lieu of submitting a new 510(k) notification to obtain clearance for such change. The FDA can always review these letters to file in an inspection. If the FDA disagrees with a manufacturer’s determination regarding whether a new premarket submission is required for the modification of an existing device, the FDA can require the manufacturer to cease marketing and/or recall the modified device until 510(k) clearance or approval of a PMA application is obtained.

The PMA Approval Process

Through the PMA application process, the applicant must submit data and information demonstrating reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use to the FDA’s satisfaction. Accordingly, a PMA application typically includes, but is not limited to, extensive technical information regarding device design and development, data from preclinical studies and one or more clinical trials, a full description of the methods, facilities and controls used for manufacturing, proposed labeling and financial disclosure information for the clinical investigators in device trials. The PMA application must provide valid scientific evidence that demonstrates to the FDA’s satisfaction a reasonable assurance of the safety and effectiveness of the device for its intended use.

Following receipt of a PMA application, the FDA conducts an administrative review to determine whether the application is sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review. If it is not, the agency will refuse to file the PMA. If it is, the FDA will accept the application for filing and begin the review. The FDA, by statute and by regulation, has 180 days to review a filed PMA application, although the review of an application more often occurs over a significantly longer period. During this review period, the FDA may request additional information or clarification of information already provided, and the FDA may issue a major deficiency letter to the applicant, requesting the applicant’s response to deficiencies communicated by the FDA. The FDA considers a PMA or PMA supplement to have been voluntarily withdrawn if an applicant fails to respond to an FDA request for information (e.g., major deficiency letter) within a total of 360 days. Before approving or denying a PMA, an FDA advisory committee may review the PMA at a public meeting and provide the FDA with the committee’s recommendation on whether the FDA should approve the submission, approve it with specific conditions, or not approve it. The FDA is not bound by the recommendations of an advisory committee, but it considers such recommendations carefully when making decisions.

247

Prior to approval of a PMA, the FDA may conduct inspections of the clinical trial data and clinical trial sites, as well as inspections of the manufacturing facility and processes. Overall, the FDA review of a PMA application generally takes between one and three years but may take significantly longer. The FDA can delay, limit or deny approval of a PMA application for many reasons, including:

• the device may not be shown safe or effective to the FDA’s satisfaction;

• the data from preclinical studies and/or clinical trials may be found unreliable or insufficient to support approval;

• the manufacturing process or facilities may not meet applicable requirements;

• the application contains a false statement of material fact;

• preclinical or clinical studies were not conducted in accordance with applicable regulations;

• the proposed device labeling is false or misleading; and

• changes in FDA approval policies or adoption of new regulations may require additional data.

If the FDA evaluation of a PMA is favorable, the FDA will issue either an approval letter, or an approvable letter, the latter of which usually contains a number of conditions that must be met in order to secure final approval of the PMA. When and if those conditions have been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the FDA, the agency will issue a PMA approval letter authorizing commercial marketing of the device, subject to the conditions of approval and the limitations established in the approval letter. If the FDA’s evaluation of a PMA application or manufacturing facilities is not favorable, the FDA may deny approval of the PMA or issue a not approvable letter. The FDA also may determine that additional tests or clinical trials are necessary, in which case the PMA approval may be delayed for several months or years while the trials are conducted and data is submitted in an amendment to the PMA, or the PMA is withdrawn and resubmitted when the data are available. The PMA process can be expensive, uncertain and lengthy and a number of devices for which the FDA approval has been sought by other companies have never been approved by the FDA for marketing.

New PMA applications or PMA supplements are required for modification to the manufacturing process, equipment or facility, quality control procedures, sterilization, packaging, expiration date, labeling, device specifications, ingredients, materials or design of a device that has been approved through the PMA process. PMA supplements often require submission of the same type of information as an initial PMA application, except that the supplement is limited to information needed to support any changes from the device covered by the approved PMA application and may or may not require as extensive technical or clinical data or the convening of an advisory committee panel, depending on the nature of the proposed change.

In approving a PMA application, as a condition of approval, the FDA may also require some form of post-approval study or post-market surveillance, whereby the applicant conducts a follow-up clinical study or follows certain patient groups for a number of years and makes periodic reports to the FDA on the clinical status of those patients when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional or longer term safety and effectiveness data for the device. The FDA may also approve a PMA application with other post-approval conditions intended to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device, such as, among other things, restrictions on labeling, promotion, sale, distribution and use.

Pervasive and Continuing Regulation

After a device is placed on the market in the U.S., numerous regulatory requirements continue to apply. These include:

• submitting and updating establishment registration and device listings with the FDA;

• the FDA’s QSR, which requires manufacturers, including their suppliers, to follow stringent design, testing, control, documentation, record maintenance, including maintenance of complaint and related investigation files, and other quality assurance procedures during all aspects of the manufacturing process;

• routine or unannounced for-cause device facility inspections by the FDA, which may include the manufacturing facilities of subcontractors;

• labeling regulations, which prohibit the promotion of products for uncleared, unapproved or off-label uses and impose other restrictions relating to promotional activities;

248

• medical device reporting, or MDR, regulations, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA if their device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or malfunctioned in a way that would likely cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur;

• medical device recalls, which require that manufacturers report to the FDA field corrections or removals of a medical device, provided the recall was initiated to either reduce a risk to health posed by the device, or to remedy a violation of the FDCA caused by the device that may present a risk to health; and

• post-market surveillance regulations, which apply to certain Class II or III devices when necessary to protect the public health or to provide additional safety and effectiveness data for the device.

Adagio has obtained a manufacturing license from the CDPH. The FDA and CDPH have broad post-market and regulatory enforcement powers. We are (or upon FDA approval, will be) subject to announced and unannounced inspections by the FDA and the Food and Drug Branch of CDPH to determine our compliance with the QSR and other regulations, and these inspections may include the manufacturing facilities of our suppliers. Additionally, our Notified Body, TÜV SÜD, regularly inspects our manufacturing, design and operational facilities to ensure ongoing ISO 13485:2016 compliance in order to maintain our CE Mark.

Failure to comply with applicable regulatory requirements can result in enforcement actions, which may include any of the following sanctions:

• warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties;

• repair, replacement, refunds, recall or seizure of our products;

• operating restrictions, partial suspension or total shutdown of production;

• refusing our requests for 510(k) clearance or premarket approval of new products, new intended uses or modifications to existing products;

• withdrawing 510(k) clearance or premarket approvals that may have already been granted; and

• criminal prosecution.

Export of Our Products

Export of products subject to the 510(k) notification requirements, but not yet cleared to market in the United States, is permitted with FDA authorization provided certain requirements are met. Similarly, unapproved or uncleared products subject to the PMA requirements may be exported certain statutory criteria are met and the company submits a “Simple Notification” to FDA when it begins to export. Importantly, however, export of such products may be limited to certain countries designated by statutory provisions, and petitions may need to be submitted to FDA to enable export to countries other than those designated in the statutory provisions. The petitioning process can be difficult, and FDA may not authorize unapproved or uncleared products to be exported to countries to which a manufacturer wishes to export. Devices that are adulterated, devices whose label and labeling does not comply with requirements of the country receiving the product, and devices that are not promoted in accordance with the law of the receiving country, among others, cannot be exported.

Foreign Government Regulation

The regulatory review process for medical devices varies from country to country, and many countries also impose product standards, packaging requirements, environmental requirements, labeling requirements and import restrictions on devices. Each country has its own tariff regulations, duties, and tax requirements. Failure to comply with applicable foreign regulatory requirements may subject a company to fines, suspension or withdrawal of regulatory approvals, product recalls, seizure of products, operating restrictions, criminal prosecution or other consequences.

European Union

Our portfolio of products is regulated in the European Union as a medical device per the European Union Regulation 2017/745 which became effective on May 26, 2021 (the “EU Medical Devices Regulation” or “MDR”). The EU MDR is the successor to the Medical Devices Directive 93/42/EEC, or MDD. The MDR/MDD sets out the basic regulatory framework for medical devices in the European Union. The system of regulating medical

249

devices operates by way of a certification for each medical device. Each certified device is marked with the CE Mark which shows that the device has a Certificat de Conformité. There are national bodies known as Competent Authorities in each member state which oversee the implementation of the MDR/MDD within their jurisdiction. The means for achieving the requirements for the CE Mark vary according to the nature of the device. Devices are classified in accordance with their perceived risks, similarly to the U.S. system. The class of a product determines the conformity assessment required before the CE Mark can be placed on a product. Conformity assessments for our products are carried out as required by the MDR/MDD. Each member state can appoint Notified Bodies within its jurisdiction. If a Notified Body of one member state has issued a Certificat de Conformité, the device can be sold throughout the European Union without further conformance tests being required in other member states. The CE Mark is contingent upon continued compliance with the applicable regulations and the quality system requirements of the ISO 13485:2016 standard. Adagio’s current CE Marks are issued by TÜV SÜD.

After the product has received the CE Mark and been placed on the market in the EU and European Economic Area (“EEA”), a manufacturer must comply with a number of regulatory requirements relating to:

• registration of medical devices in individual EEA countries;

• pricing and reimbursement of medical devices;

• establishment of post-marketing surveillance and adverse event reporting procedures;

• field safety corrective actions, including product recalls and withdrawals; and

• interactions with physicians.

On April 5, 2017, the EU MDR was adopted. Unlike directives, which must be implemented into the national laws of the EEA member States, the regulations would be directly applicable, i.e., without the need for adoption of EEA member State laws implementing them, in all EEA member States and are intended to eliminate current differences in the regulation of medical devices among EEA member States. The EU MDR, among other things, is intended to establish a uniform, transparent, predictable and sustainable regulatory framework across the EEA for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices and ensure a high level of safety and health while supporting innovation.

The new EU MDR, among other things:

• strengthens the rules on placing devices on the market and reinforce surveillance once they are available;

• establishes explicit provisions on manufacturers’ responsibilities for the follow-up of the quality, performance and safety of devices placed on the market;

• improves the traceability of medical devices throughout the supply chain to the end-user or patient through a unique identification number;

• sets up a central database to provide patients, healthcare professionals and the public with comprehensive information on products available in the EU; and

• strengthens rules for the assessment of certain high-risk devices, such as implants, which may have to undergo an additional check by experts before they are placed on the market.

As Adagio’s products were already certified under the previous regulatory framework of the MDD, the MDR allows Adagio to continue to market them for a limited time period under the MDD, provided that the requirements of the MDR transitional provisions are fulfilled. Furthermore, devices that are to be placed on the market with the benefit of the extension must always:

• be compliant with MDD, and with certain requirements from the MDR (in particular, post-market surveillance obligations), which have been in force since 26 May 2021;

• have no significant changes in design or intended purpose;

• not present an unacceptable risk to the health or safety or patients, users or other persons or to other aspects of the protection of public health;

250

• by May 26, 2024, the manufacturer must have a QMS compliant with the MDR in place, and applied to a notified body for a conformity assessment with the information required in Annex IX (QMS), Annex X (for a type-examination) and Annex XI (product conformity), as applicable; and

• no later than September 26, 2024, the notified body and the manufacturer must have signed a written agreement for the conformity assessment.

In accordance with the MDR transitional provisions (Regulation 2023/607), Adagio’s MDD CE Certificates of Conformity are valid until May 2024; however, an MDR application has been filed with the notified body (TUV SUD) to extend the CE Certificate validity until December 31, 2027 for the iCLAS Cryoablation Catheter, December 31, 2028 for the Esophageal Warming Balloon Catheter and Stylets. Before those dates, Adagio will need to obtain new CE Certificates of Conformity issued under the MDR. MDR CE certificates of vCLAS™ catheter and Console are valid until March 14, 2029 and February 27, 2029, respectively.

U.S. Federal, State and Foreign Fraud and Abuse Laws

The federal and state governments have enacted, and actively enforce, a number of laws to address fraud and abuse in federal healthcare programs. Our business is subject to compliance with these laws. Violations of such laws could result in significant civil, criminal and administrative sanctions, damages, disgorgement, monetary fines, possible exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federal healthcare programs, imprisonment, integrity oversight and reporting obligations, contractual damages, reputational harm, diminished profits and future earnings, and curtailment or restructuring of our operations.

Anti-Kickback Statutes

The federal Anti-Kickback Statute prohibits, among other things, persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, offering, receiving or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, in cash or in kind, in exchange for or to induce either the referral of an individual for, or the furnishing, recommending, purchasing, leasing, ordering or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal healthcare program, such as Medicare or Medicaid. A person or entity does not need to have actual knowledge of the statute or specific intent to violate it to have committed a violation.

The definition of “remuneration” has been broadly interpreted to include anything of value, including, for example, gifts, certain discounts, the furnishing of free supplies, equipment or services, credit arrangements, payment of cash, waivers of payments and providing anything of value at less than fair market value. Several courts have interpreted the statute’s intent requirement to mean that if any one purpose of an arrangement involving remuneration is to induce referrals of federal healthcare covered businesses, the statute has been violated. In addition, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, or collectively, the Affordable Care Act, codified case law that a claim including items or services resulting from a violation of the federal Anti-Kickback Statute constitutes a false or fraudulent claim for purposes of the Federal False Claims Act. There are a number of statutory exceptions and regulatory safe harbors protecting some common activities from prosecution, but the exceptions and safe harbors are drawn narrowly and require strict compliance in order to offer protection.

The failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit precisely within one or more safe harbors does not necessarily mean that it is illegal or that prosecution will be pursued. The legality of the arrangement will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis based on a cumulative review of all of its facts and circumstances. However, conduct and business arrangements that do not fully satisfy an applicable statutory exception or regulatory safe harbor may result in increased scrutiny by government enforcement authorities such as the Office of Inspector General, or OIG, of HHS.

Many states have adopted laws similar to the Anti-Kickback Statute. Some of these state prohibitions apply to referral of recipients for healthcare products or services reimbursed by any source, not only government healthcare programs, and may apply to payments made directly by the patient.

Government officials have continued their enforcement efforts related to the marketing of healthcare services and products, among other activities, and continue to bring cases against companies, and certain individual sales, marketing and executive personnel, for allegedly offering unlawful inducements to potential or existing customers in an attempt to procure their business.

251

Federal False Claims Act

The federal False Claims Act, or FCA, imposes liability on any person or entity that, among other things, knowingly presents, or causes to be presented, a false or fraudulent claim for payment by a federal healthcare program. The qui tam provisions of the FCA allow a private individual to bring actions on behalf of the federal government alleging that the defendant has violated the FCA and to share in any monetary recovery. In addition, various states have enacted false claims laws analogous to the FCA, and many of these state laws apply where a claim is submitted to any third-party payor and not only a federal healthcare program or other state program.

When an entity is determined to have violated the FCA, it may be required to pay up to three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus significant civil fines and penalties. As part of any settlement, the government may require the entity to enter into a corporate integrity agreement, which imposes certain compliance, certification and reporting obligations. There are many potential bases for liability under the FCA. Liability arises, primarily, when an entity knowingly submits, or causes another to submit, a false claim for reimbursement to the federal government. For example, the federal government has used the FCA to assert liability on the basis of kickbacks, or in instances in which manufacturers have provided billing or coding advice to providers that the government considered to be inaccurate. In these cases, the manufacturer faces liability for “causing” a false claim. In addition, the federal government has prosecuted companies under the FCA in connection with off-label promotion of products. Adagio’s future activities relating to information affecting federal, state and third-party reimbursement of our products and the sale and marketing of its products may be subject to scrutiny under these laws.

While Adagio is unaware of any current matters, Adagio are unable to predict whether it will be subject to actions under the FCA or a similar state law, or the impact of such actions. However, the costs of defending such claims, as well as any sanctions imposed, could significantly affect Adagio’s financial performance.

Civil Monetary Penalties

The federal Civil Monetary Penalty laws imposes penalties against any person or entity that, among other things, is determined to have presented or caused to be presented a claim to a federal healthcare program that the person knows or should know is for an item or service that was not provided as claimed or is false or fraudulent, or offering or transferring remuneration to a federal healthcare beneficiary that a person knows or should know is likely to influence the beneficiary’s decision to order or receive items or services reimbursable by the government from a particular provider or supplier.

Open Payments

The Physician Payments Sunshine Act, known as “Open Payments” and enacted as part of the Affordable Care Act, requires certain pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers of products covered by Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program to report annually to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”): direct and indirect payments and other transfers of value to physicians (defined to include doctors, dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, and chiropractors), other healthcare professionals (such as physician assistants and nurse practitioners), and teaching hospitals, and applicable manufacturers and group purchasing organizations. Applicable manufacturers must also report annually ownership and investment interests held by physicians and their immediate family members. Applicable manufacturers are required to submit annual reports to the CMS. Failure to submit required information in a timely, complete and accurate manner may result in significant civil monetary penalties. Adagio is subject to Open Payments and the information it discloses may lead to greater scrutiny, which may result in modifications to established practices and additional costs. Additionally, similar reporting requirements have also been enacted on the state level domestically, and an increasing number of countries worldwide either have adopted or are considering similar laws requiring transparency of interactions with healthcare professionals.

Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA, prohibits any U.S. individual; U.S. companies and officers, directors, and employees; foreign subsidiaries of U.S. entities; and agents or intermediaries operating on behalf of a U.S. company from paying, offering, promising to pay, or authorizing payment or offering of anything of value, directly or indirectly, to any foreign government official, government staff member, political party or candidate for the purpose of improperly influencing any act or decision of a foreign government entity to obtain, retain, or direct business. The FCPA also obligates companies whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange in the

252

United States to comply with accounting provisions which require the maintenance of books, records, and accounts that accurately and fairly reflect all transactions and dispositions of assets of the corporation, including international subsidiaries, if any, and to devise and maintain an adequate system of internal accounting controls.

International Laws

In Europe, various countries have adopted anti-bribery laws providing for severe consequences in the form of criminal penalties and significant fines for individuals or companies committing a bribery offense.

Violations of these anti-bribery laws, or allegations of such violations, could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations and reputation.

For instance, in the United Kingdom, the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 covers both public and private sector bribery, and prohibits the offer, provision, or promise to give a financial or other advantage to induce or reward another individual to improperly perform their relevant functions or activities, including any function of a public nature. Bribery of foreign public officials also falls within the scope of the U.K. Bribery Act 2010. An individual found in violation of the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 faces imprisonment of up to ten years. In addition, individuals can be subject to an unlimited fine, as can commercial organizations for failure to prevent bribery.

International Trade Laws

Our company is subject to other laws and regulations governing its international operations, including regulations administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security, the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), and various non-U.S. government entities, including applicable export control regulations, economic sanctions on countries and persons, customs requirements, currency exchange regulations, and transfer pricing regulations.

Commerce regulates certain “dual use” items, as well as associated foreign assistance. OFAC administers and enforces economic sanctions programs primarily against countries and groups of individuals. Sanctions can be either comprehensive or selective, using the blocking of assets and trade restrictions to accomplish foreign policy and national security goals. U.S. persons must comply with OFAC regulations, including all U.S. citizens and permanent resident aliens regardless of where they are located, all persons and entities within the United States, all U.S. incorporated entities, and their foreign branches. In the cases of certain programs, foreign subsidiaries owned or controlled by U.S. companies also must comply.

Governmental authorizations may be required before we can export technology, equipment or materials, our services, or to collaborate with foreign entities.

Failure to comply with export control laws and regulations could expose us to civil or criminal penalties, fines, investigations, more onerous compliance requirements, loss of export privileges, debarment from government contracts or limitations on our ability to enter into contracts with the U.S. government.

U.S. Health Reform

Changes in healthcare policy could increase Adagio’s costs and subject it to additional regulatory requirements that may interrupt commercialization of its current and future solutions. Changes in healthcare policy could increase Adagio’s costs, decrease its revenue and impact sales of and reimbursement for its current and future products. For example, the Affordable Care Act substantially changed the way healthcare is financed by both governmental and private insurers, and significantly impacts the life sciences industry. The United States and some foreign jurisdictions are considering or have enacted a number of legislative and regulatory proposals to change the healthcare system in ways that could affect Adagio’s ability to sell its products profitably. Among policy makers and payors in the United States and elsewhere, there is significant interest in promoting changes in healthcare systems with the stated goals of containing healthcare costs, improving quality or expanding access. Current and future legislative proposals to further reform healthcare or reduce healthcare costs may limit coverage of or lower reimbursement for the procedures associated with the use of Adagio’s products. The cost containment measures that payors and providers are instituting and the effect of any healthcare reform initiative implemented in the future could impact Adagio’s revenue from the sale of its products.

The implementation of the Affordable Care Act in the United States, for example, has changed healthcare financing and delivery by both governmental and private insurers substantially, and affected medical device

253

manufacturers significantly. The Affordable Care Act provided incentives to programs that increase the federal government’s comparative effectiveness research, and implemented payment system reforms including a national pilot program on payment bundling to encourage hospitals, physicians and other providers to improve the coordination, quality and efficiency of certain healthcare services through bundled payment models. Additionally, the Affordable Care Act has expanded eligibility criteria for Medicaid programs and created a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to oversee, identify priorities in, and conduct comparative clinical effectiveness research, along with funding for such research. Adagio does not yet know the full impact that the Affordable Care Act will have on its business. There have been judicial, executive and Congressional challenges to certain aspects of the Affordable Care Act, and Adagio expects additional challenges and amendments in the future.

On December 14, 2018, a Texas U.S. District Court Judge ruled that the Affordable Care Act is unconstitutional in its entirety because the “individual mandate” was repealed by Congress as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Additionally, on December 18, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit upheld the District Court ruling that the individual mandate was unconstitutional and remanded the case back to the District Court to determine whether the remaining provisions of the Affordable Care Act are invalid as well. On March 2, 2020, the United States Supreme Court granted the petitions for writs of certiorari to review this case and held oral arguments on November 10, 2020. On June 17, 2021, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed the most recent judicial challenge to the Affordable Care Act brought by several states without specifically ruling on the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. Thus, the Affordable Care Act remains in effect without the individual mandate.

In addition, other legislative changes have been proposed and adopted since the Affordable Care Act was enacted.

Adagio believes that there will continue to be proposals by legislators at both the federal and state levels, regulators and third-party payors to reduce costs while expanding individual healthcare benefits. Certain of these changes could impose additional limitations on the rates Adagio will be able to charge for its current and future products or the amounts of reimbursement available for its current and future products from governmental agencies or third-party payors. Current and future healthcare reform legislation and policies could have a material adverse effect on Adagio’s business and financial condition.

Coverage and Reimbursement

In both U.S. and non-U.S. markets, Adagio’s ability to successfully commercialize and achieve market acceptance of its products depends, in significant part, on the availability of adequate financial coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, including governmental payors (such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the United States), managed care organizations and private health insurers. Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In many international markets, a product must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. Further, many international markets have government-managed healthcare systems that control reimbursement for new devices and procedures. In most markets there are private insurance systems as well as government-managed systems. Should Adagio’s products under development be cleared or approved for commercialization by the FDA, reimbursement may not be available in the United States or other countries, or the amount of reimbursement may not be sufficient to allow sales of Adagio’s products on a profitable basis.

Third-party payors are increasingly examining the cost effectiveness of products, in addition to their safety and efficacy, when making coverage and payment decisions. Third-party payors have also instituted initiatives to limit the growth of healthcare costs using, for example, price regulation or controls and competitive pricing programs. Some third-party payors also require demonstrated superiority, on the basis of randomized clinical trials, or pre-approval of coverage, for new or innovative devices or procedures before they will reimburse healthcare providers who use such devices or procedures. Additionally, no uniform policy for coverage and reimbursement exists in the United States, and coverage and reimbursement can differ significantly from payor to payor. Third-party payors often rely upon Medicare coverage policy and payment limitations in setting their own reimbursement rates, but also have their own methods and approval process apart from Medicare determinations.

Coverage policies and third-party reimbursement rates may change at any time. Even if favorable coverage and reimbursement status is attained for procedures that utilize one or more products for which Adagio might receive

254

regulatory clearance and approval, less favorable coverage policies and reimbursement rates may be implemented in the future. It is uncertain whether Adagio’s current products or any planned or future products will be viewed as sufficiently cost effective to warrant coverage and adequate reimbursement levels for procedures using such products.

Intellectual Property

Our policy is to seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, pursuing and obtaining patent protection in the United States and in jurisdictions outside of the United States related to our technology, inventions, improvements and products that are important to the development and implementation of our business. Our patent portfolio consists of 75 issued patents and 40 patent applications in the United States, Japan, China, Australia, Republic of Korea, Brazil, Israel, United Kingdom, and countries of European Union, covering 20-21 patent families ranging from the disclosures of foundational ULTC technology to the details and components of catheter and accessory designs. Our early patents were issued in 2004 and the latest disclosures related to Tissue Contact Verification, VT- and multi-modality PFCA catheters were filed in 2023. We believe that in combination with the trade secrets and other proprietary information related to the manufacturing processes of catheters and consoles, this patent portfolio creates significant entry barrier for competitive ULTC and PFCA entries near term, allowing the company to remain a single-source provider of these differentiating technologies in Cardiac EP. However, trade secrets and proprietary information can be difficult to protect. We seek to protect our trade secrets and proprietary information, in part, by confidentiality agreements and proprietary invention assignment agreements with our employees, consultants, scientific advisors and contractors. We also seek to preserve the integrity and confidentiality of our data and trade secrets by maintaining physical security of our premises and physical and electronic security of our information technology systems. While we have confidence in the measures we take to protect and preserve our trade secrets and proprietary information, there may be instances in which they may not provide meaningful protection. Such measures can be breached, and we may not have adequate remedies for any such breach. In addition, our trade secrets may otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors or misused by any collaborator to whom we disclose such information. Despite any measures taken to protect our intellectual property, unauthorized parties may attempt to copy aspects of our products or to obtain or use information that we regard as proprietary. As a result, we may be unable to meaningfully protect our trade secrets and proprietary information.

Our trademark portfolio covers all of the main product families: iCLAS™ for ULTC AF ablation catheter and system, vCLAS™ for ULTC VT catheter, and Cryopulse™ for PFCA catheters. The trademarks have been registered or pending in Canada, United Kingdom, United States and European Union. We maintain our priority filings for trademarks in the United States through periodic extensions to ensure their availability at the time of products’ commercial availability in the United States.

Human Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, we had 74 full-time employees, located in the U.S., and 11 full-time employees of Adagio Germany with five located in Germany, three in Netherlands, and three in England. None of our employees are represented by a labor union or are a party to a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that the success of our business will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. We have not experienced and do not expect any significant strikes or work stoppages and believe our relations with employees are in good standing.

Legal Proceedings

We are not currently a party to any material legal proceedings. From time to time, we may be involved in legal proceedings or investigations, which could have an adverse impact on our reputation, business and financial condition and divert the attention of our management from the operation of our business.

ADAGIO’S MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Adagio Medical, Inc. and its subsidiary prior to the Business Combination (for purposes of this section, collectively referred to as “Adagio”, “we,” “us” and “our”) should be read together with our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (audited), and together with the related notes thereto, included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The discussion and analysis should also be read together with the “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.” This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current beliefs, plans, and expectations that involve numerous risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including, but not limited to, those described under the heading “Risk Factors.” Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are a developmental stage medical device company focused on the development and commercialization of ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (“AF”), atrial flutter (“AFL”), and ventricular tachycardia (“VT”). Our unique portfolio is based on Ultra-Low Temperature Cryoablation (“ULTC”) and Pulsed-Field Cryoablation (“PFCA”). Our technology is based on the hypothesis that the ability to consistently create durable, contiguous, transmural lesions is a foundation for improving the effectiveness and outcomes of cardiac ablations in both atria and ventricles.

Adagio’s product portfolio consists of three product families: iCLAS™ atrial ULTC catheter and accessories, vCLAS™ ventricular ULTC catheter, and Cryopulse™ atrial PFCA catheter and accessories. All of these catheters share the same ULTC cryoablation console. A standalone Pulsed-Field Ablation (“PFA”) console connected to a cryoablation console for PFCA treatment synchronization is used in conjunction with Cryopulse catheter, subject to future integration for maximum operational flexibility and minimum footprint. We received CE Marking in Europe for our iCLAS™ Cryoablation System in May 2020 and have commercially launched in the EU.

We are continually working towards reaching the next milestone in the development process for our portfolio of technologies. Key milestones include data readouts, clinical trials, and regulatory and commercialization developments in both the U.S. and European markets. The data readouts for each device are key valuation-driving milestones because investors use this data to understand the efficacy of the procedures. It is expected that favorable readouts will drive additional investment and financing for us at market terms.

We received CE Marking in Europe for our VT Cryoablation System in March 2024 and have commercially launched in the EU.

We have not launched commercially in the U.S. but are working towards obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to do so. We have incurred net losses in each year since our inception in 2011. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million and $97.1 million, respectively. Our net losses were $38.1 million and $23.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Substantially all of our net losses resulted from costs incurred in connection with our research and development programs and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had cash of $1.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively.

Our accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and liabilities in the normal course of business. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the classification of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. The recurring losses, working capital deficiency, the need for capital to fund our operations, including clinical trial and regulatory approval expenses, the amount of cash reserve and the dependency of closing the Business Combination are factors that raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period from the date the financial statements included herein were made available. See Note 1—Organization and Description of Business in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for the additional information on our assessment.

Our need for additional capital will depend in part on the scope and costs of our development activities. To date, we have not generated any significant revenue from the sale of commercialized products. Our ability to generate product revenue will depend on the successful development and eventual commercialization of our products in the

256

United States and Europe. Until such time, if ever, we expect to finance our operations through the sale of equity or debt, borrowings under credit facilities, or through potential collaborations, other strategic transactions or government and other grants. Adequate capital may not be available to us when needed or on acceptable terms. If we are unable to raise capital, we could be forced to delay, reduce, suspend or cease our research and development programs or any future commercialization efforts, which would have a negative impact on our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Risk Factors” for additional information.

Pending Business Combination

On February 13, 2024, ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, A Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), Aja HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ListCo”), Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Adagio, and Aja Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company Merger Sub”) entered into the business combination agreement pursuant to which (i) ARYA Merger Sub will be merged with and into ARYA (the “ARYA Merger”), with ARYA surviving the ARYA Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ListCo and (ii) Company Merger Sub will be merged with and into Adagio (the “Adagio Merger” and, together with the ARYA Merger, the “Mergers”), with Adagio surviving the Adagio Merger as a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of ListCo (the “Business Combination”). In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, ListCo will change its name to “Adagio Medical, Inc.” (“New Adagio”).

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a forward-merger, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Under this method of accounting, ListCo will be treated as the “accounting acquirer” and Adagio as the “accounting acquiree” for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is expected to be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method of accounting is based on FASB ASC 805, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with limited exceptions per ASC 805-20-30-12 through 30-23. As such, under the acquisition method of accounting, ListCo’s assets and liabilities will retain their carrying amounts, and the assets and liabilities of Adagio, including any intangible assets recognized in connection with the Business Combination, will be recorded at their fair values, except as otherwise required, which will be measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill.

As a result of the Business Combination, New Adagio will become a public company listed on Nasdaq, which will require New Adagio to hire additional personnel and implement procedures and processes to address public company regulatory requirements and customary practices. New Adagio expects to incur additional annual expenses as a public company for, among other things, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, director fees and additional internal and external accounting and legal and administrative resources, including increased audit and legal fees. Refer to Note 16-Subsequent Events in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional information regarding the Business Combination.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

The markets we operate in could see continued impacts from COVID-19 for the foreseeable future, and the emergence of new variants of COVID-19 creates significant uncertainty as to how long COVID-19 will continue to impact our business. The magnitude of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our productivity, results of operations and financial position and its disruption to our business and our clinical programs and timelines will depend, in part, on the length and severity of outbreaks, restrictions and other measures designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and on our ability to conduct business in the ordinary course.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

We compete primarily on the basis that our products are designed to enable more physicians to treat more patients more efficiently and effectively. Our continued success depends on our ability to:

• continue to develop innovative, proprietary products that address significant clinical needs in a manner that is safe and effective for patients and easy-to-use for physicians;

• obtain and maintain regulatory clearances or approvals;

257

• demonstrate safety and effectiveness in our sponsored and third-party clinical trials;

• expand its sales force across key markets to increase physician awareness;

• obtain and maintain coverage and adequate reimbursement for procedures using its products;

• attract and retain skilled research, development, sales and clinical personnel;

• cost-effectively manufacture, market and sell its products; and

• obtain, maintain, enforce and defend our intellectual property rights and operate its business without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property rights of others.

Innovation

Our business strategy relies significantly on innovation to develop and introduce new products and to differentiate our products from our competitors. We expect our research and development expenditures to increase as we make additional investments to support our growth strategies. We plan to increase our research and development expenditures with internal initiatives, as well as potentially licensing or acquiring technology from third parties. We also expect expenditures associated with our manufacturing organization to grow over time as production volume increases and we bring new products to market. Our internal and external investments will be focused on initiatives that we believe will offer the greatest opportunity for growth and profitability. With a significant investment in research and development, a strong focus on innovation and a well-managed innovation process, we believe we can continue to innovate and grow.

Regulatory

Our commercial success will depend upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the receipt of regulatory clearances, approvals, or authorizations for existing or new product offerings by us, or product enhancements. We must complete additional clinical testing before we can seek regulatory approval in the United States and begin commercialization of our products. After our products are cleared, approved, or authorized, numerous and pervasive regulatory requirements continue to apply. As such, our ability to navigate, obtain and maintain the required regulatory clearances, approvals, or authorizations, as well as comply with other regulatory requirements, for our products will in part drive our results of operations and impact our business.

Investments in Our Growth

In order to generate future growth, we plan to continue to expand and leverage our sales and marketing infrastructure to increase our customer base and grow our business. Identifying and recruiting qualified sales and marketing personnel and training them on our products, applicable federal and state laws and regulations, and on our internal policies and procedures requires significant time, expense and attention. It often takes several months or more before a sales representative is fully trained and productive. Our ability to increase our customer base and achieve broader market acceptance of our products will also depend to a significant extent on our ability to expand our marketing efforts as our plans to dedicate significant resources to its marketing programs.

Competition

Our industry is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our most significant competitors are large, well-capitalized companies. We must continue to successfully compete considering our competitors’ existing and future products and related pricing and their resources to successfully market to the physicians who could use our products. Publications of clinical results by us, our competitors and other third parties can also have a significant influence on whether, and the degree to which, we are able to gain market share and increase utilization of our products.

Reimbursement and Insurance Coverage

In both U.S. and non-U.S. markets, our ability to successfully commercialize and achieve market acceptance of our products depends, in significant part, on the availability of adequate financial coverage and reimbursement from third-party payors, including governmental payors (such as the Medicare and Medicaid programs in the United States), managed care organizations and private health insurers. Third-party payors decide which treatments they will

258

cover and establish reimbursement rates for those treatments. Our products are purchased by hospitals and other providers who will then seek reimbursement from third-party payors for the procedures performed using our products. Reimbursement systems in international markets vary significantly by country and by region within some countries, and reimbursement approvals must be obtained on a country-by-country basis. In certain international markets, a product must be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. Furthermore, many international markets have government-managed healthcare systems that control reimbursement for new devices and procedures. In most markets there are private insurance systems as well as government-managed systems.

Key Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

We generate product revenue primarily from the sale of the catheters, stylets and warming balloons (“Consumables”) used with our consoles. We sell our products directly to hospitals and medical centers. To a lesser extent, we also generate lease revenue from the implied rental of consoles loaned to customers at no charge. We recognize revenue in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Please refer to Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for additional details on our revenue recognition policy. Our revenue is subject to fluctuation due to the foreign currency in which our products are sold.

Costs and Operating Expenses

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of our products. Cost of revenue also includes the depreciation expense of consoles loaned to the customers.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses are expensed when incurred and are related to the development of our product candidates which includes pre-clinical, clinical, quality assurance, and research and development operational activities. These costs consist of:

• salaries, benefits, and other employee-related costs, including stock-based compensation expense for personnel engaged in research and development functions;

• activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties;

• professional fees;

• equipment, materials, and costs related to product manufacturing; and

• other operational costs including rent and facilities costs, and depreciation.

Adagio does not track research and development expenses by project or product, as Adagio is at an earlier stage in its pre-clinical and clinical development. Management believes that the breakdown of research and development expenses by project or product would be arbitrary and would not provide a meaningful assessment.

Management expects the research and development expenses to increase, as Adagio will incur incremental expenses associated with the product candidates that are currently under development and in pre-clinical and clinical trials. Product candidates in later stages of clinical development generally have higher development costs, primarily due to the increased size and duration of later-stage clinical trials.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services, marketing costs and insurance costs, and transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. We expense all selling, general and administrative costs as incurred.

259

Convertible notes fair value adjustment

We recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, and the November 2023 Notes at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasure them to fair value at each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment

We accounted for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and any change in fair value is recognized warrant liabilities fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Interest expense

Interest expense is primarily incurred from our outstanding debt obligations, including those under the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, the November 2023 Notes, and the SVB Term Loan.

Interest Income

Interest income consists primarily of interest earned on our cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

Other (expense) income, net

Other (expense) income, net primarily consists of foreign currency unrealized and realized gain / loss, and other income related to research and development (“R&D”) tax credit.

Revenue

Our revenue was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $0.1 million, or 59% is due to the increase of consumable sales. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue was generated only in European markets.

Costs of revenue and operating expenses

Cost of revenue

Cost of revenue increased to $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $0.4 million, or 49%, primarily resulted from the increase of obsolescence and scrap.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses decreased to $15.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $17.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $2.5 million decrease, or 14%, was primarily related to a $3.0 million decrease of raw materials used in operational costs as a part of research and development activities, $1.3 million decrease in product manufacturing, offset by a $1.0 million increase in clinical trial expenses, $0.6 million increase in payroll, and a $0.2 million increase in animal testing expense. The decrease in product manufacturing, and the increases in pre-clinical trial expense and clinical trial expense are due to that Adagio focused more on pre-clinical and clinical studies in order to obtain regulatory approval in both the European and United States markets.

The following is a breakdown of our research and development costs by type of expense:

	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2023	2022
Clinical trial costs	$5,504	$4,562
Pre-clinical trial costs	4,147	3,825
Quality assurance costs	2,957	2,390
Research and development operational costs	2,791	7,078
Total research and development expenses	$15,399	$17,855

Our clinical trial expenses relate to trials for our iCLAS atrial ULTC catheter and system (CYROCURE-2), iCLAS atrial ULTC catheter and system (iCLAS for PsAF), vCLAS ventricular ULTC catheter (CYROCURE-VT), vCLAS ventricular ULTC catheter (FULCRUM-VT), and PFCA catheter. Clinical trial costs includes the expenses spent on clinical trials studies and other related expenses. Pre-clinical trial costs includes the expenses resulting from professional fees, prototypes, and animal testing. Quality assurance includes regulatory fees and third-party service fees. Research and development operational costs includes the expenses spent on product manufacturing.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.5 million from $5.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million, or 115%, is primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million in professional fees which include legal and accounting fees related to the transaction costs associated with the Business Combination, an increase in payroll and personnel expense of $1.0 million, and an increase in building and maintenance costs of $0.5 million.

Convertible notes fair value adjustment

Convertible notes fair value adjustment changed to $8.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 from nil million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $8.5 million was related to the increase of fair value by $4.0 million, $0.4 million and $4.1 million on the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes, respectively, during the year ended December 31, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we did not recognize any change in fair value related to the October 2022 Convertible Notes as there were not significant changes to the business, financing scenarios, or market conditions since the date of issuance.

261

Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment

Warrant liabilities fair value adjustment changed to $42.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 from nil million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $42.0 thousand was related to the increase of fair value on the common stock warrant liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2023. These common stock warrants were not issued until July 2023.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased to $1.7 million from $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase of $1.5 million was interest incurred from the convertible promissory notes issued in October 2022, April 2023, and November 2023, and the SVB Term Loan issued in February 2023.

Interest income

Interest income decreased to $3.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 from $39.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in interest income of $36.0 thousand or 92% was driven by the decrease of cash balances in an asset management account.

Other (expense) income, net

Other expense was $20.0 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to other income of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease in other income of $0.3 million was primarily attributable to an increase in other expense of $0.5 million, related to the R&D tax credit received in 2022 for which Adagio no longer qualifies in 2023, offset by a favorable decrease of $0.2 million in foreign exchange currency unrealized loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Liquidity

To date, we have financed our operations primarily through the sale of equity securities, convertible promissory notes and SVB Term Loan. Since inception we have incurred operating losses and negative cash flows and anticipate to continue to do so for at least the next several years.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had cash of $1.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net losses were $38.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively.

We do not believe our current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements. We believe that this raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We intend to mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern entity by (i) pursuing a public offering of its common stock or in a business combination with a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) to obtain additional capital and align our long-term operating strategy (refer to Note 15—Subsequent Events in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for additional details), (ii) negotiate other cash equity or debt financing in the short-term, and (iii) continue to pursue the necessary regulatory approvals to launch commercially in the U.S. market. However, there can be no assurances that the current plans will generate any liquidity to us or be available on terms acceptable to us, or if at all.

If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of our assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Future Funding Requirements

In the future, we may need to raise additional funds through the issuance of debt and/or equity securities or otherwise. Until such time, if ever, that we can generate revenue sufficient to achieve profitability, we expect to finance our operations through equity or debt financings, which may not be available to us on the timing needed or

262

on terms that we deem to be favorable. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of common stockholders. Debt financing and preferred equity financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making acquisitions or capital expenditures or declaring dividends. If we are unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. We may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate our product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts.

Our future liquidity and capital funding requirements will depend on numerous factors, including:

• our revenue growth;

• our research and development efforts;

• our sales and marketing activities;

• our ability to raise additional funds to finance our operations;

• the outcome, costs and timing of any clinical trial results for our current or future products;

• the emergence and effect of competing or complementary products;

• the availability and amount of reimbursement for procedures using our products;

• our ability to maintain, expand and defend the scope of our intellectual property portfolio, including the amount and timing of any payments we may be required to make, or that we may receive, in connection with the licensing, filing, prosecution, defense and enforcement of any patents or other intellectual property rights;

• our ability to retain our current employees and the need and ability to hire additional management and sales, scientific and medical personnel;

• the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing or other arrangements that we have or may establish;

• debt service requirements;

• the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products or technologies;

Our primary uses of capital are, and we expect will continue to be, investment in our commercial organization and related expenses, clinical research and development services, and related supplies, legal and other regulatory expenses, general administrative costs and working capital.

See the section of this proxy statement/prospectus titled “Risk Factors” for additional risks associated with our substantial capital requirements.

Debt Obligations

October 2022 Convertible Notes

In October 2022, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement with investors for the issuance and sale of convertible promissory notes (the “October 2022 Convertible Notes”) with an aggregate principal amount of $9.5 million at an interest rate of eight percent (8.0%) per year. The October 2022 Convertible Notes had an original maturity date of October 27, 2023, which was subsequently extended to the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with a non-binding summary of certain proposed terms and conditions of the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above.

The October 2022 Convertible Notes was also amended to subordinate to the April 2023 Notes (as described below) and provide for the conversion of all principal and accrued interest in respect of all the October 2022 Convertible Notes into shares of Series E Preferred Stock of Adagio in connection with the Business Combination (refer to Note 7—Debt in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional details).

In November 2023, the October 2022 Convertible Notes were further amended to also subordinate the November 2023 Notes. In the event of the consummation of the Business Combination, all principal and accrued

263

interest in respect of the October 2022 Convertible Notes shall be converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock when multiplied by the exchange ratio applicable to the Adagio Common Stock in the Business Combination, which will entitle the holder of this note to receive a number of shares of the same class of common stock that are issued in the PIPE Financing equal to the then outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest under this note, divided by 75% of the effective price of each share of common stock sold in the PIPE Financing.

April 2023 Notes

In April 2023, we issued a $5.0 million convertible promissory note that matures on the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above, and accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum. Additionally, we obtained the right to issue up to $10.0 million in additional convertible promissory notes available beginning one month after April 4, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to the Business Combination.

In the event of the consummation of the Business Combination, the April 2023 Notes shall automatically convert into the type of securities that are issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

In November 2023, the April 2023 Notes were amended to align certain terms to the November 2023 Notes (refer to Note 7—Debt in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional details).

November 2023 Notes

On November 28, 2023, Adagio issued to Perceptive Life Sciences Master Fund, Ltd. (the “Perceptive PIPE Investor”), a $2.0 million convertible promissory note that matures on the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with a non-binding summary of the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above (the “November 2023 Notes”). The November 2023 Notes accrues simple interest at eight percent (8.0%) per annum. Additionally, Adagio obtained the right to issue up to $6.0 million of Delayed Draw Commitment available beginning one month after November 28, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to the Business Combination.

In the event of the consummation of the Business Combination, the November 2023 Notes shall automatically convert into the type of securities that are issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the then-outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

In December 2023, the November 2023 Notes were amended to permit the issuance of a Delayed Draw Commitment in the original amount of $6.0 million. On December 13, 2023 and December 28, 2023, Adagio drew the principal amount of $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The combined $3.0 million convertible promissory notes were issued pursuant to the clause and terms in the November 2023 Notes agreement (refer to Note 7—Debt in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional details).

2024 Bridge Financing Note

In connection with the Business Combination, certain investors executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to certain investors (“Convert Investors”) $20.0 million of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “New Adagio Convertible Notes”), which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock and warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), each of which will be exercisable on a cashless basis or for one share of New Adagio Common Stock at $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Convert Financing”). The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after the Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding.

The Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased a $7.0 million convertible promissory note of Adagio (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, by and among the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Adagio and ListCo (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement”).

264

As of the issuance date, Adagio has received the principal of $7.0 million. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for $5.5 million of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (such commitment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor to purchase New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, the “Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment,” and the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment as part of the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the closing date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the closing date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes, the Convert Warrants or any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date.

SVB Term Loan

In February 2023, we entered into an agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to borrow an initial term loan advance of $3.0 million and a right to borrow a subsequent term loan advance of $2.0 million. The loans mature on January 1, 2025. In conjunction with the SVB Term Loan, we issued 32,720 common stock shares of warrants (refer to Note 8—Warrants in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional details).

Cash Flows

The following table shows a summary of our cash flows for each of the periods shown below:

	Year Ended December 31,
(In thousands)	2023	2022
Statement of cash flows data:
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities	$(25,652)	$(22,412)
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities	(340)	(500)
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities	21,875	9,525
Effect of Foreign Currency Translation on cash	(47)	81
Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents	$(4,164)	$(13,306)

Comparison of Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (audited)

Cash Flows Used in Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $25.7 million as compared to $22.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $3.2 million is primarily due to the $14.5 million increase in net loss and the decrease in inventory of $3.0 million, offset by an increase the change in fair value of the convertible notes payable of $8.5 million, an increase in the prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.7 million, an increase of accounts payable of $2.4 million, an increase of accrued transaction costs of $0.4 million, and an increase of accrued liabilities and other accrued liabilities of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Cash Flow Used in Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0.3 million as compared to $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease of $0.2 million is primarily due to decreased activities in purchasing property and equipment in 2023.

265

Cash Flow Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $21.9 million as compared to $9.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase of $12.4 million is due to receiving $20.0 million and $3.0 million in proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable and proceeds from issuance of SVB Term Loan, respectively, net by a $1.2 million repayment of non-convertible term loan during the year ended December 31, 2023; whereas during the year ended December 31, 2022, the proceeds from issuance of convertible notes payable is $9.5 million.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented, we did not have, nor do we currently have, any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. We are, therefore, not exposed to the financing, liquidity, market, or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in those types of relationships.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. We base our estimates on historical experience, current business factors and various other assumptions that we believe are necessary to consider to form a basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities, the recorded amounts of revenue and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We are subject to uncertainties such as the impact of future events, economic and political factors, and changes in our business environment; therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Accordingly, the accounting estimates used in the preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. Changes in estimates are made when circumstances warrant. Such changes in estimates and refinements in estimation methodologies are reflected in reported results of operations; if material, the effects of changes in estimates are disclosed in the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements.

On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. Our actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our consolidated financial statements. These are the policies that we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our consolidated financial condition and results of operations.

Stock-Based Compensation

We recognize compensation expense for all stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value, which is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We have elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends in addition to our common stock valuation. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates and involve inherent uncertainties and the application of our judgment.

All stock-based compensation costs are recorded in cost of products sold, research and development expense or selling, general, and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss based upon the respective employee’s or non-employee’s roles.

Common Stock Valuations

Due to the absence of a public trading market, we determined the fair value of our common stock by considering numerous objective and subjective factors. The factors considered include, but are not limited to:

266

(i)
the results of contemporaneous independent third-party valuations of our common stock;

(ii)
the prices, rights, preferences and privileges of our preferred stock relative to those of our common stock;

(iii)
the lack of marketability of our common stock;

(iv)
actual operating and financial results;

(v)
current business conditions and projects; and

(vi)
the likelihood of achieving a liquidity event.

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of our common stock was determined with probability weighted expected return method (“PWERM”), which assessed the probability weighted depending on different scenarios. As of December 31, 2023, the valuation was based on the scenario (i) the bankruptcy/suboptimal sale scenario reflecting a zero return to common shareholders, with 20% probability (ii) a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC, with 40% probability, and (iii) a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method, with 40% probability.

As of December 31, 2023, in determining the value under the consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC scenario, we utilized the preliminary terms of the letter of intent with such SPAC that (i) the transaction based on diluted equity value of $38.8 million and (ii) all dilutive instruments are expected to convert or be exercised resulting in 6,369,633 total common shares outstanding.

As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of our common stock was determined with an option pricing method (“OPM”) that utilizes both income and market approaches, which are probability weighted depending on the scenario of (i) a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC or (ii) remaining private.

The valuation methodology utilized under the remain private scenario was determined by first valuing our total equity, as of the end of each reporting period. This value was determined utilizing both income and market approaches which were weighted equally in the valuation. The income approach was applied through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis and the market approach was applied through the use of guideline public company multiples that were used to value our company under certain scenarios.

In determining the value under the consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC scenario, we utilized the preliminary terms of the letter of intent with such SPAC. In addition, as the letter of intent provides shareholders the right to receive an earnout, we determined the probability-weighted value per share associated with the earnout by utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the probability of achieving the earnout and its fair value.

The fair value of our redeemable convertible preferred and common stock warrants is estimated based on the probability weighted average values from (i) a Black-Scholes calculation and (ii) the fair value calculated from the OPM under the scenario of remaining private. The value from the Black-Scholes calculation reflects the value in an initial public offering scenario with the contractual term of the warrants, which is weighted by an estimated probability of a potential initial public offering at the applicable valuation. The value from the OPM reflects the value in an alternative exit scenario at which point the warrants were expected to be exercised. The OPM value was weighted by an estimated probability of a potential alternative exit event at the applicable valuation date.

The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation model include:

• the timing of potential events (for example, a potential sale of the business or public offering) and their probability of occurring,

• the selection of guideline public company multiples,

• a discount for the lack of marketability of the preferred and common stock,

• the projected future cash flows, and

• the discount rate used to calculate the present-value of the estimated equity value allocated to each share class.

267

An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material change. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.

As of December 31, 2022, in determining the value under the sale prior to the maturity of the convertible notes, the following assumptions were applied, including: (i) the enterprise value at sale is $160.0 million, which is the average of the low and first quartile of the observed guideline company transactions; (ii) all the outstanding options are assumed to be exercised; and (iii) there is a 75% annualized return assuming new financing is raised in three months after the valuation date.

The valuation under the scenario of a delayed but successful liquidity event per the option pricing method was determined by the fair value per share at a marketable basis applied by a discount for lack marketability (“DLOM”). The fair value per share at a marketable basis was determined using the interval option value allocation approach. The DLOM was determined based on Finnerty put option model, marketability factors and restricted stock studies.

The significant unobservable inputs into the valuation model include:

• the timing of potential events (for example, a consummation of a business combination transaction with a SPAC) and their probability of occurring;

• the selection of guideline public company multiples; and

• a discount for the lack of marketability of the common stock.

An increase or decrease in any of the unobservable inputs in isolation could result in a material change. In the future, depending on the weight of evidence and valuation approaches used, these or other inputs may have a more significant impact on the estimated fair value.

Convertible Notes Valuation

As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), Adagio elected the fair value option to account for the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes in order to measure those liabilities at amounts that more accurately reflect the current economic environment in which Adagio operates.

Adagio recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes, and the November 2023 Notes at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasures them to fair value at each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the issuance of the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes were expensed as incurred (i.e., not recognized as deferred costs). Refer to Note 3—Fair Value Measurements in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional details.

As of December 31, 2023, Adagio calculated the value of the convertible notes based on the equity value from 409(a) valuations, considering the expected payoff of the convertible notes upon different types of events.

Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the October 2022 Convertible Notes would be converted to common stock through the result of mandatory prepayment, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing and no Qualified Financing (refer to Note 7—Debt in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for additional details), weighted with a probability of 20%, 40% and 40%, respectively, as of December 31, 2023.

Utilizing the PWERM, Adagio assessed the probability that the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes would be converted to common stock as a result of a liquidation event, PIPE Financing, or no PIPE Financing & no Qualified Financing, weighted with a probability of 20%, 40% and 40% as of December 31, 2023. Adagio also implied a credit spread by calibrating the value of the April 2023 Notes at issuance to the par value and then adjusted the calibrated credit spread for seniority difference and the market related movements as appropriate.

Additional assumptions used to estimate the fair value include: (i) the expected timing of the conversion, (ii) the amount subject to equity conversion, the sum of the notes’ principal and unpaid accrued interest, (iii) expected volatility, (iv) risk-free interest rate, and (v) the discount rate, based on the observed option-adjusted spread (OAS) data of traded bonds rated CCC+, CCC, and CCC-.

268

As of December 31, 2023, Adagio recognized $8.5 million related to the change in fair value related to the October 2022 Convertible Notes, the April 2023 Notes and the November 2023 Notes using the valuation techniques described above.

Warrants

Adagio accounts for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the common stock value from 409(a) valuation. The assumption used to estimate the fair value include: (i) expected volatility, (ii) risk-free interest rate, (iii) expected dividend yield, and (iv) expected term.

The liability is subject to re-measurement at each reporting period and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. See Note 8—Warrants in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for additional information related to the warrants.

SVB Term Loan

Adagio accounts for the SVB Term Loan at residual value on the date of issuance. The expected life of the SVB Term Loan is the contractual term ending on the maturity date. Adagio classifies the term loan as current liabilities within twelve months of the maturity date or when otherwise due. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the contractual term of the loan. See Note 7—Debt in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 for additional information related to the SVB Term Loan.

Convertible Preferred Stock

Adagio records convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are outside our control, including a deemed liquidation event, holders of the convertible preferred stock can cause redemption for cash. As the preferred stock is considered to be contingently redeemable, the preferred stock has been classified outside of permanent equity. The preferred stock will be accreted to its redemption value if the deemed liquidation events are considered probable of occurring.

Strategic Realignment of Resources and Corporate Restructuring

On December 1, 2023, Adagio’s management approved a strategic realignment of resources and corporate restructuring (the “RIF”) designed to reallocate capital, conformant to its business focus for the next two years. As part of the RIF, the Company initiated a reduction in its current workforce of 20 employees, representing approximately 19% of Adagio’s employees, which was completed on December 15, 2023. In compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, Adagio has provided termination notices to affected employees and government authorities if required.

Adagio made no payment for severance or related benefit costs. Adagio made no payment of retention bonuses.

Emerging Growth Company Status

We are an emerging growth company (“EGC”), as defined in the JOBS Act. The JOBS Act permits companies with EGC status to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards, delaying the adoption of these accounting standards until they would apply to private companies. We have elected to use this extended transition period to enable us to comply with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. As a result, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with the new or revised accounting standards as of public company effective dates.

In addition, we intend to rely on the other exemptions and reduced reporting requirements provided by the JOBS Act. Subject to certain conditions set forth in the JOBS Act, if, as an EGC, we intend to rely on such exemptions, we are not required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor’s attestation report on our system of internal controls over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; (ii) provide all of the compensation disclosure that may be required of non-emerging growth public companies under the Dodd-Frank Wall

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have operations primarily within the United States and we are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of our business. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Nonetheless, if our costs were to become subject to significant inflationary pressures, we may not be able to fully offset such higher costs. Our inability or failure to do so could harm our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our revenue generated in Europe, as well as costs and expenses denominated in Euro, expose us to the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates against the U.S. dollar. We are exposed to foreign currency risks related to our revenue and operating expenses, along with certain intercompany transactions, denominated in Euro. Accordingly, changes in exchange rates may negatively affect our future revenue and other operating results as expressed in U.S. dollars. We do not believe that foreign currency exchange risk has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

ADAGIO EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference in this section of this proxy statement/prospectus to the “Adagio,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to Adagio prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and to New Adagio and its consolidated subsidiaries following the Business Combination.

To achieve Adagio’s goals, Adagio has designed, and intends to modify as necessary, its compensation and benefits program to attract, retain, incentivize and reward deeply talented and qualified executives who share its philosophy and desire to work towards achieving these goals.

Adagio believes its compensation program should promote the success of the company and align executive incentives with the long-term interests of its stockholders. As Adagio’s needs evolve, Adagio intends to continue to evaluate its philosophy and compensation programs as circumstances require.

This section provides an overview of Adagio’s executive compensation programs, including a narrative description of the material factors necessary to understand the information disclosed in the summary compensation table below.

We are currently considered an “emerging growth company” within the meaning of the Securities Act for purposes of the SEC’s executive compensation disclosure rules. Accordingly, we are required to provide a Summary Compensation Table and an Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table, as well as limited narrative disclosures regarding executive compensation, for our last completed fiscal year. Further, our reporting obligations extend only to “named executive officers,” which are the individuals who served as principal executive officer and the next two most highly compensated executive officers. For the year ended December 31, 2023, Adagio had three named executive officers, (i) Olav Bergheim, President and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Hakon Bergheim, Chief Operating Officer, and (iii) John Dahldorf, Chief Financial Officer.

Summary Compensation Table for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023

The following table shows the compensation earned by Adagio’s named executive officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Name and principal position	Year	Salary ($)	Bonus ($)(2)	Option awards ($)(1)	Non-equity incentive plan compensation ($)	All other compensation ($)	Total ($)
Olav Bergheim President and Chief Executive Officer	2023	—	88,736	—	—	—	88,736
Hakon Bergheim Chief Operating Officer	2023	318,486(3)	79,629	—	—	—	398,115
John Dahldorf Chief Financial Officer	2023	283,333	122,003	309,700	—	—	715,036

(1)
In accordance with SEC rules, this column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the stock option awards granted during 2023, computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. These amounts do not reflect the actual economic value that will be realized by the named executive officer upon the vesting of the stock options, the exercise of the stock options, or the sale of the common stock underlying such stock options.

(2)
As bonus payments for the 2023 performance year under the 2023 Bonus Program (described below) have not yet been determined nor paid as of yet, the bonus figures in the Summary Compensation Table have been conservatively calculated assuming performance levels equal to 80% of target. It is anticipated that bonus amounts will be determined in the second quarter of 2024, at which time the Adagio will disclose the amounts of such bonuses.

(3)
This value includes a retroactive correction for a pay error in 2022. As of March 16, 2023, Hakon Bergheim’s base salary was $308,210.

Bonus

On April 28, 2023, the board of directors of Adagio (the “Adagio Board”) approved Adagio’s annual bonus program for certain senior executives of Adagio, including the applicable target bonus percentages (the “2023 Bonus Program”). Bonuses payable under the 2023 Bonus Program are entirely discretionary, based on the achievement and satisfaction of certain specified performance metrics, and Adagio is under no obligation to pay them to any of its employees, regardless of performance. Bonuses under the 2023 Bonus Program are intended to be paid in the year following the year of performance. Actual performance levels for 2023 have not yet been determined nor approved by the Adagio Board, but payouts included herein are conservatively estimated to be at 80% of target.

Employment Arrangements with Named Executive Officers

John Dahldorf received an offer letter, dated April 18, 2023, from Adagio with respect to the position of Chief Financial Officer of Adagio starting on May 1, 2023 (the “Dahldorf Offer Letter”). The Dahldorf Offer Letter provides a base salary of $425,000, eligibility to earn a discretionary annual bonus of up to 50% of annual base salary, four weeks of vacation and reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties. The Dahldorf Offer Letter also states that it will be recommended to the Adagio Board that an option to purchase shares of Adagio Common Stock will be granted to John Dahldorf with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Adagio Common Stock as of the date of grant, and the option will vest in accordance with Adagio’s stock option plan. This grant was approved by the Adagio Board and the option to purchase shares of Adagio was granted to Mr. Dahldorf on April 28, 2023.

Equity Based Incentive Awards

Adagio’s equity-based incentive awards are designed to align the interests of Adagio and Adagio’s stockholders with those of Adagio’s employees and consultants, including Adagio’s named executive officers. The Adagio Board is responsible for approving equity grants to Adagio’s employees and consultants, including Adagio’s named

272

executive officers. In 2023, stock option awards were the only form of equity awards Adagio granted to its named executive officers. Adagio has granted stock option awards under its 2012 Stock Plan and its 2022 Stock Plan, as described below under “—Adagio Stock Plans.”

All options are granted with an exercise price per share that is no less than the fair market value of a share of Adagio Common Stock on the date of grant of such award. Adagio’s stock option awards generally vest over a four-year period and option awards granted under the 2022 Stock Plan are subject to acceleration of vesting and exercisability upon a change in control of Adagio, which is expected to include the Business Combination. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End.”

Recent Grants

No equity-based incentive awards have been granted since January 1, 2024.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

Regardless of the manner in which a named executive officer’s service to Adagio terminates, each named executive officer is entitled to receive amounts earned during his or her term of service, including any unpaid salary and unused vacation, as applicable (collectively, the “Accrued Amounts”).

Hakon Bergheim and John Dahldorf hold stock options granted subject to the general terms of the 2022 Stock Plan, which accelerate vesting on a change in control and are expected to accelerate as a result of the consummation of the Business Combination, as described above in “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End.”

Other than the Accrued Amounts, none of the named executive officers are entitled to any additional payments or benefits following their termination of employment.

Benefits and Perquisites

Adagio provides benefits to its named executive officers on the same basis as provided to all of its employees, including health, dental and vision insurance, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, short-and long-term disability insurance, a flexible spending account, and a tax-qualified Section 401(k) plan for which no match is provided by Adagio. Adagio does not maintain any executive-specific benefit or perquisite programs.

Retirement Benefits

Adagio maintains a 401(k) retirement savings plan, for the benefit of employees, including its named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. The 401(k) plan provides eligible employees with an opportunity to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis. Under the 401(k) plan, eligible employees may elect to defer a portion of their compensation, within the limits prescribed by the Code and the applicable limits under the 401(k) plan, on a pre-tax or after-tax (“Roth”) basis, through contributions to the 401(k) plan. All of a participant’s contributions into the 401(k) plan are 100% vested when contributed. The 401(k) plan is intended to qualify under Sections 401(a) and 501(a) of the Code. As a tax-qualified retirement plan, pre-tax contributions to the 401(k) plan and earnings on those pre-tax contributions are not taxable to the employees until distributed from the 401(k) plan, and earnings on Roth contributions are not taxable when distributed from the 401(k) plan. Adagio does not provide a match for participants’ elective contributions to the 401(k) plan, nor does Adagio provide to employees, including its named executive officers, any other retirement benefits, including without limitation any tax-qualified defined benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans and nonqualified defined contribution plans.

Adagio Stock Plans

Adagio maintains the 2012 Stock Plan and the 2022 Stock Plan, which permit the granting of incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options and stock purchase rights to employees and other service providers of Adagio or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Adagio. No awards were granted under the 2012 Stock Plan after the adoption of the 2022 Stock Plan. However, the 2012 Stock Plan continues to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards previously granted under the 2012 Stock Plan.

It is expected that as of the consummation of the Business Combination, the 2012 Stock Plan, the 2022 Stock Plan and all outstanding awards under such plans will be automatically terminated and Adagio will not grant any additional awards under the 2012 Stock Plan or 2022 Stock Plan thereafter. Any underwater options will be

273

terminated in connection with the Business Combination for no consideration, and any in-the-money options granted under the 2022 Stock Plan will accelerate and vest per the terms of the 2022 Stock Plan and the award agreements thereunder, and any unexercised options shall be converted into options to purchase of New Adagio Common Stock.

As of December 31, 2023, stock options covering an aggregate of 747,001 shares of Adagio Common Stock were outstanding under the 2012 and 2022 Stock Plans.

Interests of Adagio Directors and Executive Officers in the Business Combination

Adagio’s directors and executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of ARYA shareholders generally. These interests include, among other things, the following:

• the fact that certain of Adagio’s directors are expected to become directors of New Adagio upon the Closing and will receive compensation under the New Adagio director compensation policy described in the section entitled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination–Director Compensation”;

• the fact that Adagio’s executive officers are expected to become executive officers of New Adagio upon the Closing, serving in the same position they are currently serving with Adagio, in each case on substantially the terms described in the sections entitled “Management of New Adagio Following the Business Combination—Executive Compensation”;

• the substantial number of shares of New Adagio to be issued to Adagio’s directors, executive officers and/or their affiliated entities, as set forth in the section entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities,” in addition to the outstanding equity awards held by certain directors and executive officers of Adagio, as set forth in the sections entitled “–Adagio Executive Compensation” and “–New Adagio Director Compensation,” which will be assumed by New Adagio in connection with the Closing;

• the fact that the Investor Rights Agreement was entered into by certain of Adagio’s executive officers or their affiliated entities, as set forth in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions”; and

• the continued indemnification of Adagio’s directors and officers, as set forth in the section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions,” and the continuation of Adagio’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance after the Business Combination (i.e., a “tail policy”).

Olav Bergheim, 73, has served as the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Adagio since January 2011. Mr. Bergheim will serve as the Chief Executive Officer and [Chairman of the Board of Directors of New Adagio]. Mr. Bergheim is the Founder and Managing Director of Fjord Ventures LLC (“Fjord Ventures”), a life science accelerator company which contains several companies in its portfolio including Adagio, each of which was founded by Mr. Bergheim.

(acquired by Medtronic), Orqis Medical Corporation, Vessix Vascular, Inc. (acquired by Boston Scientific), Volcano Therapeutics, Inc. (acquired by Phillips), and Glaukos Corporation (Nasdaq: GKOS). In addition, since June 2006, Mr. Bergheim has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors and as a member of the compensation committee of Sonedo, Inc., a dental technology company that he co-founded, Mr. Bergheim holds a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science degree in pharmacy from the University of Oslo, Norway, and completed the Executive Master of Business Administration program at the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business. We believe Mr. Bergheim is qualified to serve as a director of New Adagio due to his business and leadership experience and deep knowledge of Adagio as its founder.

John Dahldorf, 67, has served as the Chief Financial Officer of Adagio since May 2023. Mr. Dahldorf will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of New Adagio. Prior to Adagio, from October 2017 to March 2023, Mr. Dahldorf served as Chief Financial Officer of SCN BestCo, a nutraceutical company that develops and manufactures pharmaceutical dosage forms for the OTC marketplace, where he oversaw all aspects of finance and information technology functions.

Non-Employee Directors

[To come.]

276

Family Relationships

Olav Bergheim, the Chief Executive Officer and [Chairman of the Board of Directors of New Adagio], is father to Hakon Bergheim, the Chief Operating Officer of New Adagio. There are otherwise no family relationships among any of the expected directors and executive officers of New Adagio.

Composition of the Board of Directors Following the Business Combination

In accordance with the terms of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and Proposed Bylaws, the New Adagio Board will be divided into three staggered classes of directors and each director will be assigned to one of the three classes. At each annual meeting of the stockholders, a class of directors will be elected for a 3-year term to succeed the directors of the same class whose terms are then expiring. The terms of the directors will expire upon the election and qualification of successor directors at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held during the year [•] for Class I directors, [•] for Class II directors and [•] for Class III directors. [•] will be Class I directors, [•] will be Class II directors and [•] will be Class III directors.

Director Independence

Under the Nasdaq listing standards, a majority of the members of the New Adagio Board must qualify as “independent,” as affirmatively determined by the New Adagio Board. Under the rules of Nasdaq, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. It is anticipated that each individual expected to serve on the New Adagio Board upon consummation of the Business Combination other than [•] will qualify as an independent director under Nasdaq listing standards.

Role of the New Adagio Board of Directors in Risk Oversight

Upon the Closing, one of the key functions of the New Adagio Board will be informed oversight of the risk management process. The New Adagio Board does not anticipate having a standing risk management committee, but rather anticipates administering this oversight function directly through the New Adagio Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the New Adagio Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. In particular, the New Adagio Board will be responsible for monitoring and assessing strategic risk exposure and the New Adagio audit committee will have the responsibility to consider and discuss major financial risk exposures and the steps its management will take to monitor and control such exposures, including guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and management is undertaken. The audit committee will also monitor compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The New Adagio compensation committee will be responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements. The compensation committee will also assess and monitor whether compensation plans, policies and programs comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Committees of the Board of Directors

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the New Adagio Board will have three standing committees: an audit committee, a compensation committee, and a nominating and corporate governance committee.

Audit Committee

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, it is anticipated that the members of the New Adagio audit committee will be [•], and [•] is expected to serve as the chairperson of the audit committee. Under the Nasdaq listing rules and applicable SEC rules, we are required to have at least three members of the audit committee. The rules of the Nasdaq and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act require that the audit committee of a listed company be composed solely of independent directors for audit committee purposes, and it is anticipated that each member will qualify as an independent director for audit committee purposes under applicable rules. Each of [•] is financially literate and it is anticipated that each of [•] will qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in applicable SEC rules.

277

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the audit committee will, among other things:

• select, retain, compensate, evaluate, oversee and, where appropriate, terminate New Adagio’s independent registered public accounting firm;

• review and approve the scope and plans for the audits and the audit fees and approve all non-audit and tax services to be performed by the independent registered public accounting firm;

• review and monitor compliance with New Adagio’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and consider questions of actual or possible conflicts of interest of New Adagio’s directors and officers;

• adopt and oversee procedures to address complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls and auditing matters, including confidential, anonymous submissions by New Adagio’s employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters;

• review and discuss with management and New Adagio’s independent registered public accounting firm the adequacy and effectiveness of New Adagio’s legal, regulatory and ethical compliance programs; and

• review and discuss with management and New Adagio’s independent registered public accounting firm New Adagio’s guidelines and policies to identify, monitor and address enterprise risks.

The New Adagio audit committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Compensation Committee

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the New Adagio compensation committee will consist of at least three members of the New Adagio Board, all of which will be independent directors. The members of the compensation committee are expected to be [•], and [•] is expected to serve as the chairperson of the compensation committee.

Following consummation of the Business Combination, the New Adagio compensation committee will, among other things:

• review and approve or recommend to the New Adagio Board for approval the compensation for the New Adagio executive officers, including the New Adagio chief executive officer;

• review, approve and administer the New Adagio employee benefit and equity incentive plans;

The New Adagio compensation committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the New Adagio nominating and corporate governance committee will consist of at least two members of the New Adagio Board, all of which will be independent directors. The members of the nominating and corporate governance committee are expected to be [•], and [•] is expected to serve as the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Following consummation of the Business Combination, the New Adagio nominating and corporate governance committee will, among other things:

• review, assess and make recommendations to the New Adagio Board regarding desired qualifications, expertise and characteristics sought of board members;

• identify, evaluate, select or make recommendations to the New Adagio Board regarding nominees for election to the New Adagio Board;

• develop policies and procedures for considering stockholder nominees for election to the New Adagio Board;

The New Adagio nominating and corporate governance committee will operate under a written charter, to be effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, that satisfies the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the listing standards of Nasdaq.

Director Compensation

The New Adagio Board or the New Adagio compensation committee will determine the annual compensation to be paid to the members of the New Adagio Board following the completion of the Business Combination.

Executive Compensation

Following the Closing, New Adagio intends to develop an executive compensation program that is designed to align compensation with New Adagio’s business objectives and the creation of stockholder value, while enabling New Adagio to attract, motivate and retain individuals who contribute to the long-term success of New Adagio.

Decisions on the executive compensation program will be made by the New Adagio compensation committee of the New Adagio Board.

The SEC has defined “beneficial ownership” of a security to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of voting power and/or investment power over such security. A shareholder is also deemed to be, as of any date, the beneficial owner of all securities that such shareholder has the right to acquire within 60 days after that date through (a) the exercise of any option, warrant or right, (b) the conversion of a security, (c) the power to revoke a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement, or (d) the automatic termination of a trust, discretionary account or similar arrangement. In computing the number of shares beneficially owned by a person and the percentage ownership of that person, ordinary shares subject to options or other rights (as set forth above) held by that person that are currently exercisable, or will become exercisable within 60 days thereafter, are deemed outstanding, while such shares are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing percentage ownership of any other person. Each person named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all of the shares shown as beneficially owned by such person, except as otherwise indicated in the table or footnotes below.

The beneficial ownership of ARYA Shares pre-Business Combination is based on 7,536,516 ARYA Shares (of which 499,000 are Class A ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders and 3,737,500 are Class B ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders) issued and outstanding as of [•], 2024, i.e. the Record Date.

The expected beneficial ownership of New Adagio Common Stock immediately following consummation of the Business Combination and PIPE Financing, assuming (i) none of the Public Shares are redeemed, is based on an aggregate of 14,363,173 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued and outstanding, and (ii) assuming 100% of the Public Shares have been redeemed, is based on an aggregate of 11,412,733 shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued and outstanding. All such redemption scenarios assume (A) approximately 6,554,729 shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued in the PIPE Financing based on (i) the effective open market purchase prices by certain PIPE Investors of $11.23 and $11.35 (which reflects the closing price of the Class A ordinary shares on Nasdaq on May 9, 2024), as further described under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” (ii) a redemption value at Closing of the Class A ordinary shares of $11.37 (based on the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account of approximately $37,543,644 as of May 9, 2024), and (iii) the contribution to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock of 4 additional months of accrued and unpaid interest on the Bridge Financing Notes between signing of the Business Combination Agreement and the Closing, (B) that, prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, there are no other issuances of equity interests of ARYA or Adagio which will be converted into rights to receive New Adagio Common Stock, except as otherwise described in this proxy statement/prospectus, (C) no exercise of the New Adagio options, for which the cancelled Vested Adagio Options with an aggregate adjusted equity value that exceeded the aggregate exercise price of such Adagio Option have been exchanged, (D) none of the 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, which are subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting are issued and outstanding, (E) none of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, or the ESPP are issued and outstanding, (F) none of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise or conversion, as applicable, of the approximately 5,403,084 PIPE Warrants, the up to 1,500,000 Convert Warrants or the up to 20,000,000 of New Adagio Convertible Notes are issued and outstanding, and (G) 370,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock are issued to the Sponsor in connection with the

280

Sponsor’s contribution of the ARYA Convertible Promissory Notes. For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

Shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be acquired by an individual or group within 60 days of the day hereof pursuant to the exercise of options or warrants, are deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of such individual or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person shown in the table.

Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of capital stock beneficially owned by them. To our knowledge, no shares beneficially owned by any executive officer, director or director nominee have been pledged as security.

The expected beneficial ownership of shares of New Adagio Common Stock post-Business Combination is provided for illustrative purposes only, as actual outcomes may prove different from the assumptions made above. In particular, the actual number of Public Shareholders who will exercise their redemption rights is uncertain.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

In addition to the transactions described below, please see the compensation agreements and other arrangements described in this proxy statement/prospectus under the sections titled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination,” “Business of ARYA and Certain Information About ARYA—Executive Compensation and Director Compensation and Other Interests,” “Adagio Executive Compensation,” and “New Adagio Director Compensation.”

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—ARYA

Class B Ordinary Shares

On January 4, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover for certain expenses on behalf of ARYA in exchange for issuance of 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares. In February 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 90,000 Class B ordinary shares to three of ARYA’s independent directors. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 487,500 Class B ordinary shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Class B ordinary shares would represent 20.0% of the issued and outstanding ARYA Shares (excluding the Private Placement Shares) after the initial public offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 2, 2021; thus, these 487,500 Class B ordinary shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Class B ordinary shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial business combination and (B) subsequent to the initial business combination, (x) if the closing price of ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial business combination, or (y) the date on which ARYA completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ARYA Shares for cash, securities or other property. Such transfer restrictions will be amended pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, which provides that, subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. For more information on the Class B ordinary shares that will be forfeited and issued as Incentive Shares in connection with the PIPE Financing, the 1,147,500 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that will be issued with respect to Class B ordinary shares and will subject to Share Trigger Price Vesting, the changes to the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement, and the termination of the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement in connection with the Business Combination, see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement.”

Private Placement Shares

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, ARYA consummated a private placement of 499,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. Certain proceeds from the Private Placement Shares have been added to the proceeds from the initial public offering held in the Trust Account.

The Sponsor and ARYA’s officers and directors agreed pursuant to the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Shares until 30 days after the completion of the initial business combination. The Private Placement Shares benefit from registration rights under the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, which will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock

284

beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. For more information, see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Sponsor Letter Agreement” and “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Investor Rights Agreement.”

Related Party Loans

On March 2, 2021, pursuant to the Note by and between ARYA and the Sponsor, the Sponsor agreed to loan ARYA an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover for expenses related to the initial public offering and ARYA subsequently reclassified the outstanding amount due to the Sponsor as borrowing under the Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the initial public offering. ARYA borrowed approximately $161,000 under the Note and fully repaid the amounts outstanding under Note to the Sponsor upon closing of the initial public offering. Subsequent to the repayment, the loan facility was no longer available to ARYA.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a business combination, the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or ARYA’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide Working Capital Loans to ARYA. If ARYA completes a business combination, ARYA may repay any Working Capital Loans that may have been extended to ARYA by the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or ARYA’s officers and directors out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to ARYA. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a business combination does not close, ARYA may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay any Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans. Except for the terms of the First Convertible Promissory Note, the Second Convertible Promissory Note, the Third Promissory Note and the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note, each as further described below, the terms of such Working Capital Loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any other loans between ARYA and the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or ARYA’s officers and directors. The Sponsor and ARYA's officers and directors, certain of which are affiliates of the Sponsor, may be considered related parties of ARYA due to the director and officer positions they hold at ARYA and their beneficial ownership of ARYA Shares. For more information, also see the section entitled “Beneficial Ownership of Securities.”

On November 7, 2022, ARYA issued the First Convertible Promissory Note to the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA borrowed $120,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes. Such loan may, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into Working Capital Shares at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per Working Capital Share. The amounts drawn on the First Convertible Promissory Note will not bear any interest and will be repayable by ARYA or, if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses. The maturity date of the total principal amount of the First Convertible Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the First Convertible Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, which will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement. If any Working Capital Shares are issued at the option of the Sponsor upon conversion of the First Convertible Promissory Note, such Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” certain provisions of the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be amended with the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, including the transfer restrictions applicable to the shares of New Adagio issued and issuable to the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $120,000 and $120,000, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the First Convertible Promissory Note.

285

On February 28, 2023, ARYA issued the Second Convertible Promissory Note to the Sponsor in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $1,680,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and the funding of the deposits that ARYA is required to make pursuant to the Existing Governing Documents and following the request of the Sponsor in connection with an optional monthly extension of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination. On February 13, 2024, ARYA and the Sponsor entered into an amendment to the Second Convertible Promissory Note, pursuant to which up to the total principal amount of the Second Convertible Promissory Note will be convertible at the option of the Sponsor into Working Capital Shares. The Second Convertible Promissory Note will not bear any interest and will be repayable by ARYA to the Sponsor to the extent ARYA has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business combination. The maturity date of the total principal amount of the Second Convertible Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Convertible Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares issued pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note, which shall also constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, which will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement. If any Working Capital Shares are issued at the option of the Sponsor upon conversion of the Second Convertible Promissory Note, such Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” certain provisions of the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be amended with the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, including the transfer restrictions applicable to the shares of New Adagio issuable to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Adagio stockholders in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $1,585,000 and $0, respectively, was drawn under the Second Convertible Promissory Note.

On September 27, 2023, ARYA entered into the Third Promissory Note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $900,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and to fund the deposits required to be made into the Trust Account in connection with the monthly extensions of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents. On February 13, 2024, ARYA and the Sponsor amended and restated the Third Promissory Note to provide that the total principal amount loaned under the Third Promissory Note will be convertible at the option of the Sponsor into Working Capital Shares. The A&R Third Promissory Note will not bear any interest. In the event that ARYA does not consummate a Business Combination, the A&R Third Promissory Note will be repaid from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven. The maturity date of the total principal amount of the A&R Third Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the A&R Third Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares issued pursuant to the A&R Third Promissory Note, which shall also constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, which will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement. If any Working Capital Shares are issued at the option of the Sponsor upon conversion of the A&R Third Promissory Note, such Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” certain provisions of the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be amended with the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, including the transfer restrictions applicable to the shares of New Adagio issuable to the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Adagio stockholders in connection with the Closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $470,000 and $0, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the A&R Third Promissory Note.

On February 8, 2024, ARYA entered into the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note with the Sponsor, pursuant to which ARYA may borrow up to $1,000,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and to fund the deposits required to be made into the Trust Account in connection with the monthly extensions of the time period during which ARYA may consummate a business combination in accordance with the Existing Governing Documents. Such loan may, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into Working Capital Shares at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per Working Capital Share. The amounts drawn on the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note will not bear any interest and will be repayable by ARYA or, if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a business

286

combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses. The maturity date of the total principal amount of the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note). ARYA granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, which will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement. If any Working Capital Shares are issued at the option of the Sponsor upon conversion of the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note, such Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares contemplated by the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” certain provisions of the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement will be amended with the Sponsor Letter Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement, including the transfer restrictions applicable to the shares of New Adagio issued and issuable to the Sponsor and the Perceptive PIPE Investor in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was $0 and $0, respectively, of borrowings outstanding under the Fourth Convertible Promissory Note.

Administrative Services Agreement

Commencing on the date that ARYA’s registration statement relating to its initial public offering was declared effective through the earlier of consummation of the initial business combination and ARYA’s liquidation, ARYA agreed to reimburse the Sponsor for office space, secretarial and administrative services provided to ARYA in the amount of $10,000 per month. ARYA incurred approximately $120,000 and $120,000 in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, ARYA had $210,000 and $90,000, respectively, included in due to related party on the balance sheets. The administrative services agreement will be terminated in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination.

Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement

The holders of the Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Shares, including Private Placement Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that ARYA registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to ARYA’s completion of its initial business combination. However, the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement provides that ARYA will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Class B ordinary shares, in accordance with the SPAC Sponsor Letter Agreement and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Shares, 30 days after the completion of ARYA’s initial business combination. ARYA will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. As discussed under “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination,” the Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement will be terminated and replaced by the Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Closing.

On April 4, 2023, Adagio entered into that certain Omnibus Amendment to Convertible Promissory Notes (the “April 2023 Omnibus Amendment”) with holders of the October 2022 Convertible Notes to extend the maturity date of the October 2022 Convertible Notes to the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with a non-binding summary of certain proposed terms and conditions of the Business Combination, and (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet.

Pursuant to the November 2023 Omnibus Amendment, in the event of the consummation of the Business Combination, all principal and accrued interest in respect of the October 2022 Convertible Notes shall be converted into shares of Adagio Common Stock when multiplied by the exchange ratio applicable to the Adagio Common Stock in the Business Combination, which will entitle the holder of this note to receive a number of shares of the same class of common stock that are issued in the PIPE Financing equal to the then- outstanding principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest under this note, divided by 75% of the effective price of each share of common stock sold in the PIPE Financing.

April 2023 Notes

In April 2023, Adagio issued $5.0 million April 2023 Notes to the Perceptive PIPE Investor, pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, as amended. The April 2023 Notes bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum and mature on the latest of (i) January 5, 2024, (ii) termination of agreements between Adagio and ARYA in connection with the Business Combination, or (iii) the termination or lapse of the exclusivity period as defined in the non-binding term sheet as mentioned above. Additionally, Adagio obtained the right to issue up to $10.0 million in additional April 2023 Notes available beginning one month after April 4, 2023 through the occurrence of an ARYA stockholder vote with regard to the Business Combination. $10.0 million additional April 2023 Notes were issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of April 4, 2023.

In the event of the consummation of the Business Combination, the April 2023 Notes shall automatically convert into the type of securities that are issued in the PIPE Financing in an amount equal to the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by the effective price of the securities sold in the PIPE Financing.

In November 2023, the April 2023 Notes were amended to align certain terms to the November 2023 Notes.

On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for $5.5 million of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (such commitment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor to purchase New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, the “Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment,” and the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment as part of the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes, the Convert Warrants or any shares of New Adagio common stock issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination. As set forth in the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the closing of $7,500,000 of financing by the Contingent Investor in the Convertible Security Financing is conditioned on New Adagio having a certain amount of available unrestricted cash on the Closing Date.

289

in the open market and the amount of interest on the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes that will have accrued and be unpaid at Closing and be contributed to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the ROFR Agreement will terminate.

Voting Agreement

Adagio is party to the Third Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of November 9, 2020 (the “Voting Agreement”), with certain holders of its capital stock, including, among others, (i) Fjordinvest LLC (an affiliate of Olav Bergheim), ADG Management Limited, CVF LLC, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, and RA Capital Healthcare Fund, each of which is a holder of more than 5% of Adagio’s capital stock, (ii) Micro NV LLC, an affiliate

of Olav Bergheim, and (iii) James Cox, MD, a director of Adagio.

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, the Voting Agreement will terminate.

Indemnification Agreements

Adagio has entered into indemnification agreements with its current directors and New Adagio intends to enter into separate indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in the Proposed Governing Documents. These agreements, among other things, will require New Adagio to indemnify New Adagio’s directors and executive officers for certain expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by a director or executive officer in any action or proceeding arising out of their services as one of New Adagio’s directors or executive officers or as a director or executive officer of any other company or enterprise to which the person provides services at New Adagio’s request.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in the Proposed Governing Documents may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duties. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit New Adagio and its stockholders. A stockholder’s investment may decline in value to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

Adagio Policies for Approval of Related Party Transactions

The Adagio Board reviews and approves transactions with directors, officers and holders of 5% or more of its capital stock and their affiliates, each a related party. Prior to such transactions, the material facts as to the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction are disclosed to its board of directors prior to their consideration of such transaction, and the transaction is not considered approved by the Adagio Board unless a majority of the directors who are not interested in the transaction approve the transaction. Further, when stockholders are entitled to vote on a transaction with a related party, the material facts of the related party’s relationship or interest in the transaction are disclosed to the stockholders, who must approve the transaction in good faith.

New Adagio Policies and Procedures for Related Party Transactions

Upon the Closing, it is anticipated that the New Adagio Board will adopt a written related person transactions policy that sets forth New Adagio’s policies and procedures regarding the identification, review, consideration and oversight of “related person transactions.” For purposes of New Adagio’s policy only, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which New Adagio or any of its subsidiaries are participants involving an amount that exceeds $120,000, in which any “related person” has a material interest.

Transactions involving compensation for services provided to New Adagio as an employee, consultant or director will not be considered related person transactions under this policy. A related person is any executive officer, director, nominee to become a director or a holder of more than 5% of any class of New Adagio’s voting securities (including New Adagio Common Stock), including any of their immediate family members and affiliates, including entities owned or controlled by such persons.

291

Under the policy, the related person in question or, in the case of transactions with a holder of more than 5% of any class of New Adagio’s voting securities, an officer with knowledge of a proposed transaction, must present information regarding the proposed related person transaction to audit committee of the New Adagio Board (the “New Adagio Audit Committee”) (or, where review by the New Adagio Audit Committee would be inappropriate, to another independent body of the New Adagio Board) for review. To identify related person transactions in advance, New Adagio will rely on information supplied by New Adagio’s executive officers, directors and certain significant stockholders. In considering related person transactions, the New Adagio Audit Committee will take into account the relevant available facts and circumstances, which may include, but are not limited to:

• the risks, costs, and benefits to New Adagio;

• the impact on a director’s independence in the event the related person is a director, immediate family member of a director or an entity with which a director is affiliated;

• the terms of the transaction;

• the availability of other sources for comparable services or products; and

• the terms available to or from, as the case may be, unrelated third parties.

The New Adagio Audit Committee will approve only those transactions that it determines are fair to New Adagio and in New Adagio’s best interests. All of the transactions described above were entered into prior to the adoption of such policy.

Post-Business Combination Arrangements and ListCo Relationships and Related Person Transactions

Certain agreements were entered into or will be entered into pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. The agreements described in this section, or forms of such agreements as they will be in effect substantially concurrently with the completion of the Business Combination, are filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and are included in the Annexes to this proxy statement/prospectus, and the following descriptions are qualified by reference thereto.

COMPARISON OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS

ARYA is an exempted company incorporated under the Cayman Islands Companies Act. The Cayman Islands Companies Act, Cayman Islands law generally and the Existing Governing Documents govern the rights of its shareholders. The Cayman Islands Companies Act and Cayman Islands law generally differ in some material respects from laws generally applicable to United States corporations and their stockholders. In addition, the Existing Governing Documents differ in certain material respects from the Proposed Governing Documents. As a result, when you become a stockholder of New Adagio, your rights will differ in some regards as compared to when you were a shareholder of ARYA.

Below is a summary chart outlining important similarities and differences in the corporate governance and stockholder/shareholder rights associated with each of ARYA and New Adagio according to applicable law and/or the organizational documents of ARYA and New Adagio. You also should review the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws of New Adagio, attached hereto as Annex C and Annex D to this proxy statement/prospectus, respectively, as well as the Delaware corporate law and corporate laws of the Cayman Islands, including the Cayman Islands Companies Act, to understand how these laws apply to ARYA and New Adagio.

	Cayman Islands	Delaware
Stockholder/Shareholder Approval of Business Combinations	Mergers require a special resolution, and any other authorization as may be specified in the relevant articles of association. Parties holding certain security interests in the constituent companies must also consent.   All mergers (other than parent/subsidiary mergers) require shareholder approval—there is no exception for smaller mergers.   Where a bidder has acquired 90% or more of the shares in a Cayman Islands company, it can compel the acquisition of the shares of the remaining shareholders and thereby become the sole shareholder.   A Cayman Islands company may also be acquired through a “scheme of arrangement” sanctioned by (i) in relation to a compromise or arrangement between a company and its creditors or any class of them, a majority in number of such creditors or class of creditors with whom the arrangement is to be made and who must in addition represent 75% in value of such creditors or class of creditors, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting summoned for that purpose; and (ii) in relation to a compromise or arrangement	Mergers generally require approval of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares.   Mergers in which less than 20% of the acquirer’s stock is issued do not, in certain circumstances, require acquirer stockholder approval.   Certain mergers in which one entity owns 90% or more of a second corporation may be completed without the vote of the second corporation’s board of directors or stockholders.

	between a company and its shareholders or any class of them, shareholders who represent 75% in value of the company’s shareholders or class of shareholders, as the case may be, that are present and voting either in person or by proxy at a meeting summoned for that purpose.
Stockholder/Shareholder Votes for Routine Matters	Under Cayman Islands law and the Existing Governing Documents, routine corporate matters may be approved by an ordinary resolution (being a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast by or on behalf of the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the applicable general meeting and entitled to vote on such matter).	Generally, unless a corporation’s governing documents provide a different standard, approval of routine corporate matters that are put to a stockholder vote require the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter.
Appraisal Rights	Minority shareholders that dissent from a Cayman Islands statutory merger are entitled to be paid the fair market value of their shares, which if necessary may ultimately be determined by the court.	Generally, a stockholder of a publicly traded corporation does not have appraisal rights in connection with a merger if the merger consideration is stock of the surviving entity or a publicly traded entity; stockholders generally will have appraisal rights if the merger consideration is cash.
Inspection of Books and Records	Shareholders generally do not have any rights to inspect or obtain copies of the register of shareholders or other corporate records of a company.	Any stockholder may inspect the corporation’s books and records for a proper purpose during the usual hours for business, subject to certain procedural requirements.
Stockholder/Shareholder Lawsuits	In the Cayman Islands, the decision to institute proceedings on behalf of a company is generally taken by the company’s board of directors. A shareholder may be entitled to bring a derivative action on behalf of the company, but only in certain limited circumstances.	A stockholder may bring a derivative suit subject to procedural requirements (including complying with exclusive forum provisions as per the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation).
Fiduciary Duties of Directors	A director owes fiduciary duties to a company, including to exercise loyalty, honesty and good faith to the company as a whole.   In addition to fiduciary duties, directors owe a duty of care, diligence and skill.	Directors must exercise a duty of care and duty of loyalty (which includes a duty of good faith) to the company and its stockholders.

295

	Cayman Islands	Delaware
	Such duties are owed to the company but may be owed direct to creditors or shareholders in certain limited circumstances.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers	A Cayman Islands company generally may indemnify its directors or officers except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide indemnification against willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.	A corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers acting in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation.
Limited Liability of Directors	Liability of directors may be limited, except to the extent any such provision may be held by the Cayman Islands courts to be contrary to public policy, such as to provide exculpation for willful default, willful neglect, civil fraud or the consequences of committing a crime.	Delaware law permits limiting or eliminating the monetary liability of a director to a corporation or its stockholders, except with regard to breaches of duty of loyalty, intentional misconduct, certain unlawful repurchases or dividends, or transactions in which a director receives an improper personal benefit.

Classification of Board of Directors	The ARYA Board is divided into three classes: Class I, Class II and Class III. The number of directors in each class shall be as nearly equal as possible.

All directors hold office until the expiration of their respective terms of office and until their successors shall have been elected and qualified.	Directors shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors.

DESCRIPTION OF NEW ADAGIO SECURITIES

The following summary of certain provisions of New Adagio securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation, the Proposed Bylaws and the provisions of applicable law. Copies of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively.

Authorized Capitalization

General

The authorized capital stock of New Adagio will consist of 210,000,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of New Adagio Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share. New Adagio expects to have approximately 14,363,173 shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming that none of ARYA’s outstanding Class A ordinary shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, or approximately 11,412,733 shares of New Adagio Common Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination in the 100% redemption scenario. For more information on the assumptions underlying the number of shares described in the foregoing as being issuable on the Closing Date, please see “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Business Combination and ARYA—The Public Shareholders will experience (i) immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of New Adagio Common Stock as consideration in the Business Combination and in the PIPE Financing and (ii) future dilution in connection with other sources of dilution, such as the PIPE Warrants, the Adagio Convertible Securities, the Convert Warrants, the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2024 Key Employee Equity Incentive Plan, the ESPP and the Share Trigger Price Vesting. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ARYA shareholders have on the management of New Adagio.” Actual number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable on the Closing Date will be determined pursuant to the terms of the respective convertible notes, Subscription Agreements and the Business Combination Agreement, as applicable. Please see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—PIPE Financing—Subscription Agreements—Calculations of number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants subscribed for,” for a description of how shares to be issued on the Closing Date in connection with the PIPE Financing will be calculated.

The following summary describes all material provisions of New Adagio capital stock. You are urged to read the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws in their entirety (copies of which are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C and Annex D, respectively) as well as the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

New Adagio Common Stock

Voting rights. Each share of New Adagio Common Stock will be entitled to one vote per share on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders, unless otherwise required by law or the New Adagio certificate of incorporation. The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights. Directors of New Adagio will be elected by plurality vote of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock present at an annual meeting and entitled to vote. With respect to matters other than the election of directors, at any meeting of the stockholders at which a quorum is present or represented, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at such meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders, except as otherwise required by law. The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders.

Dividend rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any then-outstanding preferred stock, holders of New Adagio Common Stock will be entitled to receive dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by our board of directors out of legally available funds.

Rights upon liquidation. Upon a liquidation event, holders of New Adagio Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in the net assets legally available for distribution to stockholders after the payment of all of New Adagio’s debts and other liabilities and the satisfaction of any liquidation preference granted to the holders of any then-outstanding shares of preferred stock.

Other rights. Holders of New Adagio Common Stock will have no preemptive, conversion, subscription or other rights, and as of the closing of the Business Combination there will be no redemption or sinking fund provisions

301

applicable to the New Adagio Common Stock. The rights, preferences and privileges of the holders of the New Adagio Common Stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of shares of any series of preferred stock that New Adagio may designate in the future.

New Adagio Preferred Stock

The New Adagio Board will have the authority, without further action by the stockholders, to issue shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof. These designations, powers, preferences and rights could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, redemption rights, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of the New Adagio Common Stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of New Adagio Common Stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of New Adagio or other corporate action. Upon closing of the Business Combination, no shares of preferred stock will be outstanding, and New Adagio has no present plan to issue any shares of preferred stock.

PIPE Warrants and Convert Warrants

Each Base Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at a price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. The Base Warrants, issued to certain PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the Base Warrant Agreement, will expire on the fifth anniversary of the Closing.

Each Pre-Funded Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at a price of $0.01 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. The Pre-Funded Warrants, issued to certain PIPE Investors pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement, will not expire until such warrants are exercised in full.

Each Convert Warrant entitles the registered holder thereof to purchase one share of New Adagio Common Stock at price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. The Convert Warrants, issued to certain Convert Investors pursuant to the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and the Convert Warrant Agreement, will expire on the seventh anniversary of the Closing.

Each of the Base Warrant Agreements, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreements and Convert Warrant Agreement will be entered into concurrently with the Closing, and each PIPE Warrant and Convert Warrant will bear a restrictive legend. No PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant may be exercised and New Adagio shall not be obligated to issue shares of New Adagio Common Stock upon exercise of a PIPE Warrants or Convert Warrants unless the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable upon such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant exercise have been registered, qualified or are exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant, the registered holder of such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant may be entitled to exercise such PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant by way of cashless exercise in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Otherwise, such holder may not be entitled to exercise its PIPE Warrant or Convert Warrant and, in the case of the Base Warrants or Convert Warrants, such Base Warrant or Convert Warrant may expire worthless.

If holders of Base Warrants elect to exercise on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock yielded by the following formula: [(A-B) (X)] / (A), where, as described in more details in the Base Warrant Agreement (A) is (i) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable warrant exercise notice if such notice is (1) both executed and delivered on a day that is not a trading day or (2) both executed and delivered on a trading day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such trading day, (ii) at the option of the holder, either (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice or (z) the did price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock on the applicable stock exchange as reported by Bloomberg L.P. as of the time of the holder’s execution of the applicable exercise notice if such notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a trading day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading

302

hours” on a trading day), or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable exercise notice if the date of such notice is a trading day and such notice is both executed and delivered after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day; (B) is the exercise price of the Base Warrant, as adjusted pursuant to the Base Warrant Agreement; and (X) is the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock that would be issuable upon exercise of the portion of the Base Warrant specified in the exercise notice in accordance with the terms of the Base Warrant Agreement if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

Similarly, if holders of the Pre-Funded Warrants or Convert Warrants elect to exercise on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its warrants for that number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock yielded by the following formula: (A x B) - (A x C)]/B. For purposes of the foregoing formula and as described in more details in the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement or the Convert Warrant Agreement, as applicable: A is the total number of shares with respect to which the Pre-Funded Warrants or Convert Warrants are then being exercised; B is as elected by the Holder: (i) the VWAP of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice if such notice is (1) both executed and delivered on a day that is not a trading day or (2) both executed and delivered on a trading day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such trading day, (ii) at the option of the applicable holder, either (y) the VWAP on the trading day immediately preceding the date of the applicable exercise notice or (z) the bid price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock as of the time of the holders’ execution of the applicable exercise notice if such notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a trading day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter, or (iii) the closing sale price of the New Adagio Common Stock on the date of the applicable exercise notice if the date of such notice is a trading day and such notice is both executed and delivered after the close of “regular trading hours” on such trading day; and C is the exercise price then in effect for the applicable shares of New Adagio Common Stock at the time of such exercise under the Pre-Funded Warrant or the Convert Warrant, as applicable.

New Adagio Convertible Notes

The New Adagio Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement are convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. Shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to a registered holder of a New Adagio Convertible Note will bear a restrictive legend. The New Adagio Convertible Note may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any registered holder of such New Adagio Convertible Notes in any state in which such exercise would be unlawful. For more information, also see “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination—Convertible Security Financing.”

Election of Directors and Vacancies; Board of Directors

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect additional directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors of the New Adagio Board shall be fixed solely and exclusively by resolution duly adopted from time to time by the New Adagio Board, but shall initially consist of seven (7) directors, which shall be divided into three (3) classes, designated Class I, II and III, with each class consisting of three (3) directors. Under the Proposed Bylaws, at all meetings of stockholders called for the election of directors, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. All directors will be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal.

Except as the DGCL may otherwise require and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of New Adagio Preferred Stock, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors and any vacancies on the New Adagio Board resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. A director elected or appointed to fill a vacancy resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of a director or a newly created directorship will hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s death, resignation or removal.

303

Subject to the rights, if any, of any series of New Adagio Preferred Stock, any director or the entire New Adagio Board may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of New Adagio entitled to vote in the election of directors.

In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed Bylaws, the directors are empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by New Adagio, subject, nevertheless, to the provisions of the DGCL, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws adopted and in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no Bylaw adopted, amended, altered or repealed after the date of the Proposed Bylaws will invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of New Adagio which would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed.

Quorum

The holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum at all meetings of the stockholders for the transaction of business. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed Bylaws, each as amended from time to time. If, however, such quorum will not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the holders of a majority of the voting power present in person or represented by proxy, will have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum will be present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum will be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting will be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

Anti-takeover Effects of the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation and the Proposed Bylaws contain provisions that may delay, defer or discourage another party from acquiring control of New Adagio. We expect that these provisions, which are summarized below, may discourage coercive takeover practices or inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of New Adagio to first negotiate with the New Adagio Board, which we believe may result in an improvement of the terms of any such acquisition in favor of New Adagio’s stockholders. However, they also give the New Adagio Board the power to discourage acquisitions that some stockholders may favor.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of Nasdaq, which would apply if and so long as the New Adagio Common Stock remains listed on Nasdaq, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock may be to enable the New Adagio Board to issue shares to persons friendly to New Adagio management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of New Adagio by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of New Adagio management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of New Adagio Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Special Meeting, Action by Written Consent and Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals

Unless otherwise required by law, and subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of any series of New Adagio Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of New Adagio may be called only by the Chairperson of the New Adagio Board, the New Adagio Chief Executive Officer, the New Adagio President, or the New Adagio Board

304

acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the New Adagio Board. Unless otherwise required by law, written notice of a special meeting of stockholders, stating the time, place and purpose or purposes thereof, shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting, not less than ten (10) or more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for the meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice.

The Proposed Bylaws also provide that unless otherwise restricted by the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or the Proposed Bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the New Adagio Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting, if all members of the New Adagio Board or of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission.

In addition, the Proposed Bylaws require advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be brought before an annual meeting of the stockholders, including the nomination of directors. Stockholders at an annual meeting may only consider the proposals specified in the notice of meeting or brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the New Adagio Board, or by a stockholder of record on the record date for the meeting, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has delivered a timely written notice in proper form to the New Adagio secretary, of the stockholder’s intention to bring such business before the meeting.

These provisions could have the effect of delaying until the next stockholder meeting any stockholder actions, even if they are favored by the holders of a majority of New Adagio’s outstanding voting securities.

Amendment to Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding stock entitled to vote on amendments to a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws is required to approve such amendment, unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, as the case may be, requires a greater percentage.

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation will provide that the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of New Adagio’s stock entitled to vote thereon and the affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company, voting together as a single class:

• the provisions authorizing the New Adagio Board to issues shares of New Adagio Preferred Stock, with any rights, preferences or privileges as they may designate;

• the provisions dividing the directors of New Adagio into three classes, each of which stands for election once every three years;

• the provisions providing that a director may be removed from the New Adagio Board at any time, but for cause only, and by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of New Adagio entitled to vote in the election of directors;

• the provisions providing that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum; except that any action to be taken by the holders of any series of New Adagio Preferred Stock may, to the extent provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of New Adagio Preferred Stock, be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote;

• the provisions prohibiting cumulative voting;

• the provisions requiring that any action to be taken by New Adagio’s stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and not be taken by written consent;

• the provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

• the provisions regarding notice of stockholder nominations for the election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of New Adagio’s stockholders; and

• the provision regarding the approval requirements for such amendments.

The Proposed Bylaws may be amended or repealed (A) by the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire New Adagio Board then in office (subject to any bylaw requiring the affirmative vote of a larger percentage of the members of the New Adagio Board) or (B) by the New Adagio stockholders, provided that the affirmative vote of

305

the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of outstanding voting securities, voting together as a single class, shall be required for the New Adagio stockholders to alter, amend or repeal, or adopt certain provisions of the Proposed Bylaws.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute

New Adagio will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL prevents a public company incorporated in Delaware from engaging in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the time that the person became an interested stockholder, unless, among other exceptions, the interested stockholder attained such status with the approval of the New Adagio Board or holders of 66 2/3% of the voting power of the outstanding capital stock held by stockholders unaffiliated with the interested stockholder approve the business combination. A business combination includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving the interested stockholder and the sale of more than 10% of the company’s assets. In general, an interested stockholder is any stockholder that, together with its affiliates, beneficially owns 15% or more of the company’s stock. A public company incorporated in Delaware is automatically subject to Section 203 unless it opts out in its original corporate charter or pursuant to a subsequent charter or bylaw amendment approved by stockholders.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The Proposed Certificate of Incorporation limits the liability of the directors and officers of New Adagio to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and the Proposed Bylaws provide that New Adagio will indemnify and hold them harmless to the fullest extent permitted by such law. To the extent that the DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the personal liability of directors, then the liability of such directors and officers shall be eliminated or limited accordingly. ARYA has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers and New Adagio expects to continue to enter into agreements to indemnify its directors, executive officers and other employees as determined by the New Adagio Board. Under the terms of such indemnification agreements, New Adagio will be required to indemnify each of its directors and officers, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the state of Delaware, if the basis of the indemnitee’s involvement was by reason of the fact that the indemnitee is or was a director or officer of New Adagio or any of its subsidiaries or was serving at New Adagio’s request in an official capacity for another entity. Any claims for indemnification by New Adagio’s directors and officers may reduce New Adagio’s available funds to satisfy successful third-party claims against it and may reduce the amount of money available to it.

Exclusive Jurisdiction of Certain Actions

The Proposed Bylaws provide that, unless New Adagio consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum (an “Alternative Forum Consent”), the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court in Delaware or the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of New Adagio, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, stockholder or other employee of New Adagio to New Adagio or New Adagio’s stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DCGL or the Proposed Certificate of Incorporation or Proposed Bylaws (each, as may be amended from time to time), or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the State of Delaware, except for any claim as to which the court does not have jurisdiction over an indispensable party to that claim. The foregoing shall not apply to any claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the rules and regulations promulgated the reunder. In addition, unless New Adagio gives an Alternative Forum Consent, the federal district courts of the United States shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act of 1933.

Transfer Agent

The transfer agent for New Adagio Common Stock will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

Listing

ListCo intends to apply to list the shares of New Adagio Common Stock under the symbol “ADGM” upon the consummation of the Business Combination.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE AND SECURITIES ACT RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF NEW ADAGIO COMMON STOCK

Upon Closing, 230,000,000 shares of New Adagio stock will be authorized pursuant to the Proposed Governing Documents, including 210,000,000 shares of New Adagio Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Based on the assumptions set out elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and in the no redemption scenario and assuming no issuance of shares of New Adagio Common Stock that are subject to share trigger price vesting, (i) 14,363,173 shares of New Adagio Common Stock will be issued and outstanding and (ii) [•] shares of New Adagio Common Stock, including (a) [•] shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by certain shareholders of Adagio and (b) 7,564,321 shares of New Adagio Common Stock held by the Sponsor, the other initial shareholders and the Perceptive PIPE Investor, will be subject to certain lock-up arrangements pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement. For more information see “—Lock-up Provisions” below.

Upon Closing, 5,403,084 PIPE Warrants and up to 1,500,000 Convert Warrants will be issued and outstanding. Each PIPE Warrant and each Convert Warrant are exercisable for one share of New Adagio Common Stock pursuant to their respective terms. New Adagio will be obligated to maintain an effective registration under the Securities Act covering the 6,903,084 shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the PIPE Warrants and Convert Warrants, pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements executed in connection with the PIPE Financing, as discussed below under “—Registration Rights.”

Further, the principal amount and any accrued and unpaid interest under the New Adagio Convertible Notes issued in connection with the Convertible Security Financing are convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment, following the closing of the Business Combination. As further discussed below under “—Registration Rights” below, New Adagio will be obligated to maintain an effective registration under the Securities Act covering any shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of the New Adagio Convertible Notes, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement.

All of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the holders of Public Shares of ARYA in connection with the Business Combination will be freely transferable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act by persons other than by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor or affiliates of New Adagio.

Sales of substantial amounts of shares of New Adagio Common Stock in the public market could adversely affect prevailing market prices of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock. Prior to the Business Combination, there has been no public market for shares of New Adagio Common Stock. ListCo will apply for listing of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock on Nasdaq, but there can be no assurance that a regular trading market will develop, or be maintained, in the shares of New Adagio Common Stock.

Lock-up Provisions

Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to customary exceptions set forth therein, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of ARYA and New Adagio (including any PIPE Shares or shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 tradingdays within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date. For additional information, see the section entitled “Proposal 1: Business Combination Proposal—Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Investor Rights Agreement.”

Registration Rights

Pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, New Adagio will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the offer and sale of certain shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued or issuable in connection with the Business Combination, the PIPE Financing and the Convertible Security Financing to the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain directors and officers of ARYA and Adagio and certain shareholders of Adagio. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement and subject to certain requirements and customary conditions, certain holders of registration rights pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement may demand at any time

307

or from time to time, that New Adagio files a registration statement on Form S-3, or any such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration, or, if available, Form S-1, to register the offer and sale of their shares of New Adagio Common Stock. The Investor Rights Agreement also provides the parties thereto with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements executed in connection with the PIPE Financing, New Adagio also agreed that, within 45 calendar days after the Closing, it will file with the SEC (at New Adagio’s sole cost and expense) a resale registration statement registering the offer and sale of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing and the shares of New Adagio Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of the PIPE Warrants, and New Adagio will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have such resale registration statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof.

The Conversion Shares, the Convert Warrants, the Convert Warrant Shares, the New Adagio Convertible Notes and any capital stock of ListCo issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, have not been registered under the Securities Act. In connection with the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, ListCo and the Convert Investors agreed to enter into the Convert Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which ListCo will be required to file a Convert Registration Statement with the SEC to register for resale all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement), including the Conversion Shares, the Convert Warrant Shares and any shares issuable with respect to the New Adagio Convertible Notes, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 45 days after the Closing Date. In the event that the number of shares registered for resale under the Convert Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, ListCo will amend the Registration Statement or file with the SEC a new registration statement to cover at least the Required Registration Amount (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement) as of the trading day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new registration statement, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 days after the necessity therefor arises. If ListCo fails to file the Convert Registration Statement when required, fails to obtain effectiveness by SEC when required or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Convert Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of the Convert Registration Rights Agreement, then as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of New Adagio Common Stock, ListCo may be required to pay each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Convert Registration Statement an amount equal to one percent of such Convert Investor's original principal amount. The Convert Registration Rights Agreement also provides the parties with “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.

The following table summarizes the market standoff restrictions of certain stockholders of New Adagio following the closing of the Business Combination:

Stakeholder	Market Standoff Restrictions	Shares Subject to Market Standoff Restrictions	Market Standoff Period
The Sponsor, Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Adagio stockholders, including certain New Adagio officers and directors	Investor Rights Agreement	[•] Shares of New Adagio Common Stock(1)	Period beginning on the Closing Date earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date, such shares will no longer be subject to the lock-up as of such earlier time. Further, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued to the Sponsor, Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain Adagio stockholders are restricted securities. New Adagio is required to file a registration statement registering the resale of such shares within 45 days after the Closing.(2)

308

Stakeholder	Market Standoff Restrictions	Shares Subject to Market Standoff Restrictions	Market Standoff Period
ARYA Public Shareholders, which are expected to hold 3,300,016 shares of New Adagio Common Stock after the consummation of the Business Combination, assuming no shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination(1)	None	None	None(2)
Other PIPE Investors, certain Adagio stockholders and holders of PIPE Warrants, Convert Warrants and New Adagio Convertible Notes	None. However, (i) the shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued in the PIPE Financing and issued to certain Adagio stockholders in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the PIPE Warrants or the Convert Warrants, and (iii) any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued upon conversion of any of the New Adagio Convertible Notes, are restricted securities. New Adagio is required to file a registration statement registering the resale of such shares of New Adagio Common Stock within 45 days after the Closing.

(1)
Number of shares reflects the assumptions made further above in the sensitivity table under “Questions and Answers for the Shareholders of Arya—What equity stake will current ARYA shareholders and current equityholders of Adagio hold in New Adagio immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?” Does not adjust for sources of dilution following the Closing Date. For more information on potential sources of dilution also see, “Questions and Answers for the Shareholders of Arya—What equity stake will current ARYA shareholders and current equityholders of Adagio hold in New Adagio immediately after the consummation of the Business Combination?”

(2)
Shareholders who become affiliates of New Adagio for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act would be subject to additional resale restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, once available.

Rule 144

Pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), a person who has beneficially owned restricted shares of New Adagio Common Stock for at least six months would be entitled to sell their securities provided that (i) such person is not deemed to have been an affiliate of New Adagio at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale and (ii) New Adagio is subject to the Exchange Act periodic reporting requirements for at least three months before the sale and have filed all required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act during the twelve months (or such shorter period as New Adagio was required to file reports) preceding the sale.

Persons who have beneficially owned restricted shares of New Adagio Common Stock for at least six months but who are affiliates of New Adagio at the time of, or at any time during the three months preceding, a sale, would be subject to additional restrictions, by which such person would be entitled to sell within any three-month period only a number of securities that does not exceed the greater of:

• 1% of the total number of New Adagio Common Stock then outstanding; or

• the average weekly reported trading volume of the New Adagio Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on Form 144 with respect to the sale.

Sales by affiliates of New Adagio under Rule 144 are also limited by manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about New Adagio.

Restrictions on the Use of Rule 144 by Shell Companies or Former Shell Companies

Rule 144 is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. New Adagio may be deemed a former shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

• the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

• the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

• the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

309

• at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

As a result, our initial shareholders will be able to sell their Class B ordinary shares and Private Placement Shares, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 without registration one year after we have completed our initial business combination.

We anticipate that following the consummation of the Business Combination, New Adagio will no longer be a shell company, and so, once the conditions set forth in the exceptions listed above are satisfied, Rule 144 will become available for the resale of the above noted restricted securities.

310

STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS AND NOMINATIONS

Stockholder Proposals

The Proposed Governing Documents establish an advance notice procedure for stockholders who wish to present a proposal before an annual meeting of stockholders. The Proposed Governing Documents provide that the only business that may be conducted at an annual meeting of stockholders is business that is (a) specified in a notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the New Adagio Board, (b) if not specified in a notice of meeting, otherwise brought before the meeting by the New Adagio Board or the chairman of the New Adagio Board or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder present in person who (A) (1) was a record owner of shares of New Adagio both at the time of giving the notice and at the time of the meeting, (2) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (3) has complied with the procedures specified in the Proposed Governing Documents in all applicable respects or (B) properly made such proposal in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act. To be timely for New Adagio’s annual meeting of stockholders, a stockholder’s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received, by the secretary at New Adagio’s principal executive offices:

• not less than the 90 days; and

• not more than the 120 days prior to the one-year anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting.

In the event that no annual meeting of the stockholders was held in the preceding year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting has been changed by more than twenty-five (25) days from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be delivered, or mailed and received, not earlier than the one hundred twentieth (120^th) day before such annual meeting and not later than the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to such annual meeting and no later than the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting was first made by New Adagio. Nominations and proposals also must satisfy other requirements set forth in the Proposed Governing Documents. The presiding person at an annual meeting or a special meeting, as applicable, may, if the facts warrant, determine that the business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the Proposed Governing Documents, and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.

Under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act, a shareholder proposal to be included in the proxy statement and proxy card for the 2024 annual meeting pursuant to Rule 14a-8 must be received at New Adagio’s principal executive offices at a reasonable time before New Adagio begins to print and send out its proxy materials for such 2024 annual meeting (and New Adagio will publicly disclose such date when it is known).

Stockholder Director Nominees

The Proposed Governing Documents permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual meeting of stockholders. To nominate a director, the stockholder must provide the information required by the Proposed Governing Documents. In addition, the stockholder must give timely notice to New Adagio’s secretary in accordance with the Proposed Governing Documents, which, in general, require that the notice be received by New Adagio’s secretary within the time periods described above under “—Stockholder Proposals” for stockholder proposals. Notwithstanding, if the number of directors to be elected to the New Adagio Board is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased New Adagio Board at least ten (10) days before the last day that a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the relevant provisions applicable to stockholder proposals, then a stockholder’s notice will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of New Adagio no later than the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made.

311

SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATIONS

EXPERTS

The financial statements of ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, appearing in this proxy statement/prospectus have been audited by WithumSmith+Brown, PC, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon (which report contains an explanatory paragraph regarding the ability of ARYA to continue as a going concern), appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

The financial statements of Adagio Medical, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and for the years then ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, appearing in this proxy statement/prospectus have been audited by WithumSmith+Brown, PC, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their report thereon appearing elsewhere herein, and are included in reliance upon such report given on the authority of such firm as experts in accounting and auditing.

314

HOUSEHOLDING INFORMATION

Unless ARYA has received contrary instructions, it may send a single copy of this proxy statement/prospectus to any household at which two or more shareholders reside if ARYA believes the shareholders are members of the same family. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at any one household and helps to reduce expenses. A number of brokers with account holders who are ARYA shareholders will be householding this proxy statement/prospectus. ARYA shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. If shareholders prefer to receive multiple sets of disclosure documents at the same address this year or in future years, the shareholders should follow the instructions described below. Similarly, if an address is shared with another shareholder and together both of the shareholders would like to receive only a single set of disclosure documents, the shareholders should follow these instructions:

• If the shares are registered in the name of the shareholder, the shareholder should contact ARYA at its offices at ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, 51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor, New York, New York 10003 or by telephone at +1 (212) 284-2300, to inform ARYA of his, her or their request; or

• If a bank, broker or other nominee holds the shares, the shareholder should contact the bank, broker or other nominee directly.

315

ENFORCEABILITY OF CIVIL LIABILITY

ARYA is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands, and will remain incorporated in the Cayman Islands following the Business Combination. Service of process ARYA may be difficult to obtain within the United States.

ARYA has been advised by its Cayman Islands legal counsel, Ogier (Cayman) LLP, that the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely (i) to recognize or enforce against ARYA, judgments of courts of the United States obtained against it or its directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States; and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, to impose liabilities against ARYA or our respective directors or officers predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any state in the United States, so far as the liabilities imposed by those provisions are penal in nature. In those circumstances, although there is currently no statutory enforcement or treaty between the United States and the Cayman Islands providing for enforcement of judgments obtained in the United States, the courts of the Cayman Islands will recognize and enforce a foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction without retrial on the merits based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be final and conclusive, given by a court of competent jurisdiction (the courts of the Cayman Islands will apply the rules of Cayman Islands private international law to determine whether the foreign court is a court of competent jurisdiction), and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, and or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. Furthermore, it is uncertain that Cayman Islands courts would enforce: (1) judgments of U.S. courts obtained in actions against us or other persons that are predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws; or (2) original actions brought against us or other persons predicated upon the Securities Act. Ogier (Cayman) LLP has informed ARYA that there is uncertainty with regard to Cayman Islands law relating to whether a judgment obtained from the U.S. courts under civil liability provisions of the securities laws will be determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands as penal or punitive in nature. A Cayman Islands Court may stay enforcement proceedings if concurrent proceedings are being brought elsewhere.

316

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The transfer agent for ARYA’s securities is Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

The transfer agent for New Adagio Securities following the Business Combination will be Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of

ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Arya Sciences Acquisition Corp IV (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and complete a business combination by April 2, 2024 then the Company will cease all operations except for the purpose of liquidating. The liquidity condition and date for mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

/s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC

 

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2021.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

Note 1 - Description of Organization and Business Operations

ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV (the “Company”) was incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on August 24, 2020. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”). The Company is an emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with emerging growth companies.

All activity for the period from August 24, 2020 (inception) through December 31, 2023 was related to the Company’s formation and initial public offering (the “Initial Public Offering”) described below, and since the Initial Public Offering, the search for a prospective initial Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of income earned on investments or cash held in the Trust Account (as defined below) from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering.

The Company’s sponsor is ARYA Sciences Holdings IV, a Cayman Islands exempted limited company (the “Sponsor”). The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on February 25, 2021. On March 2, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Public Shares”), including the 1,950,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $149.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8.8 million, inclusive of approximately $5.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5). On August 8, 2022, the Company received a waiver from one of the underwriters of its Initial Public Offering pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination. In connection with this waiver, the underwriter also agreed that (i) this waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at the discretion of the Company, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial Business Combination.

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the private placement (“Private Placement”) of 499,000 Class A ordinary shares (the “Private Placement Shares”), at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million (see Note 4).

Upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $149.5 million ($10.00 per Public Share) of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and certain of the proceeds of the Private Placement were placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”), located in the United States, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting as trustee, and were invested only in United States “government securities” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”) having a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account as described below. On February 27, 2023, the Company delivered an instruction letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting, as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Company is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal described below. For more information on the partial liquidation of the Trust Account in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the related redemption of Class A ordinary shares, see below.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of Private Placement Shares, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the amount of deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the interest earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the signing of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

The Company will provide the holders (the “Public Shareholders”) of Public Shares, with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a shareholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The Public Shareholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account (initially anticipated to be $10.00 per Public Share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes). The per-share amount to be distributed to Public Shareholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5).

These Public Shares are classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity” (“ASC 480”). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if a majority of the ordinary shares, represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, voted at a shareholder meeting are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a shareholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association which the Company adopted upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering and subsequently amended in connection with the adoption of Extension Amendment Proposal described below (as amended from time to time, the “Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association”), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If, however, shareholder approval of the transactions is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain shareholder approval for business or other reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each Public Shareholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction or vote at all. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial shareholders (as defined below) agreed to vote their Founder Shares (as defined below in Note 4) and any Public Shares they hold in favor of a Business Combination. In addition, the initial shareholders agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of its Business Combination and does not conduct redemptions in connection with its Business Combination pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provide that a Public Shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% of the Class A ordinary shares, without the prior consent of the Company.

The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial shareholders”) agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (a) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of its Public Shares the right to have their shares redeemed in connection with a Business Combination or to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete its Business Combination within the time period during which the Company is required to consummate a Business

DECEMBER 31, 2023

Combination pursuant to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (the “Business Combination Period”), or (b) with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of Public Shareholders, unless the Company provides the Public Shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Class A ordinary shares in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company has not completed a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish Public Shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining shareholders and its board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) to the Company’s obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial shareholders agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares held by them if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period. However, if the initial shareholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period. The underwriters agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commissions (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Business Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.00 per share initially held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a third party (excluding the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm) for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (i) $10.00 per Public Share and (ii) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of the assets in the Trust Account, in each case net of the interest that may be withdrawn to pay for the Company’s tax obligations. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (excluding the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. The Company has not asked the Sponsor to reserve for such indemnification obligations, nor has the Company independently verified whether the Sponsor has sufficient funds to satisfy its indemnity obligations and the Company believes that the Sponsor’s only assets are securities of the Company. The Sponsor may not be able to satisfy those obligations. None of the Company’s officers or directors will indemnify the Company for claims by third parties including, without limitation, claims by vendors and prospective target businesses.

On February 28, 2023, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in view of approving an amendment to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the date (the “Termination Date”) by which the Company has to consummate a Business Combination from March 2, 2023 (the “Original

F-9

ARYA SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP IV

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

Termination Date”) to June 2, 2023 (the “Previous Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to nine times by an additional one month each time after the Previous Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 2, 2024 or a total of up to thirty-six months after the Original Termination Date, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto or the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association have been amended prior thereto in order to further extend the Termination Date (see Note 9) (the “Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the initial three-month extension from the Original Termination Date to the Previous Articles Extension Date the Sponsor made an initial deposit into the Trust Account of $420,000 in exchange for the Second Convertible Promissory Note (as defined below). In connection with any subsequent optional monthly extensions following the Previous Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor made deposits of $140,000 per month into the Trust Account, as provided for in the amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that was adopted on February 28, 2023.

The Company approved one-month extensions on June 2, 2023, July 2, 2023, August 2, 2023, September 2, 2023, October 2, 2023, November 2, 2023 and December 2, 2023. In connection with the extensions on June 2, 2023, July 2, 2023, August 2, 2023, and September 2, 2023, the Company drew an aggregate amount of $560,000 from the Second Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of up to $1,680,000. In connection with the extensions on October 2, 2023, November 2, 2023 and December 2, 2023, the Company drew an aggregate amount of $420,000 from the Third Promissory Note (as defined below). The Company also drew additional funds under the Second Convertible Promissory Note and the Third Promissory Note in view of funding the Company’s ongoing working capital (for more information see Note 4).

As contemplated by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the holders of Public Shares were able to elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal. On February 28, 2023, the Extension Amendment Proposal was adopted and 11,259,169 Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of $115,071,882. Following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company has 4,189,831 Class A ordinary shares, including 3,690,831 Public Shares and 499,000 Private Placement Shares, and 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. See “Note 9 – Subsequent Events” for more information on (i) additional redemptions in connection with the second amendment of the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to further extend the time period the Company has to consummate a Business Combination following March 2, 2024, and (ii) additional draws under the Third Promissory Note to fund additional one-month extensions that were approved subsequently to the date of financial statements included herein on January 2, 2024 and February 2, 2024.

Going Concern

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $20,191 in its operating bank account and working capital deficit of $12,276,486.

The Company’s liquidity needs to date have been satisfied through a contribution of $25,000 from Sponsor to cover for certain expenses in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares, the loan of approximately $161,000 from the Sponsor pursuant to the Note (as defined in Note 4), the proceeds from the consummation of the Private Placement not held in the Trust Account, the First Convertible Promissory Note and the Second Convertible Promissory Note. The Company fully repaid the Note upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, provide the Company Working Capital Loans (as defined in Note 4). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $2,175,000 and $120,000 of borrowings outstanding under the First Convertible Promissory Note, Second Convertible Promissory Note and Third Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 4 for additional information).

The Company cannot provide any assurance that new financing along the lines detailed above will be available to it on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. Further, the Company has until the end of the Business Combination Period to consummate a Business Combination, but the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to

F-10

ARYA SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP IV

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

consummate a Business Combination by that date. If a Business Combination is not consummated by the required date, there will be a mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 205-40, “Basis of Presentation - Going Concern,” management has determined that the working capital deficit and mandatory liquidation and subsequent dissolution raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern until the earlier of the consummation of the Business Combination or the date the Company is required to liquidate. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. The Company intends to complete its initial Business Combination before the mandatory liquidation date; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate any Business Combination by the end of the Business Combination Period. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after the end of the Business Combination Period, nor do these financial statements include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

Risks and Uncertainties

Results of operations and the Company’s ability to complete a Business Combination may be adversely affected by various factors that could cause economic uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets, many of which are beyond its control. The Company’s business of pursuing and consummating an initial Business Combination could be impacted by, among other things, downturns in the financial markets or in economic conditions, export controls, tariffs, trade wars, inflation, increases in interest rates, supply chain disruptions, declines in consumer confidence and spending, the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including resurgences and the emergence of new variants, and geopolitical instability, such as the military conflict in the Ukraine or the conflict in Israel and Palestine. The Company cannot at this time fully predict the likelihood of one or more of the above events, their duration or magnitude or the extent to which they may materially impact the Company’s business and its ability to complete an initial Business Combination.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Emerging Growth Company

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and shareholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make

ARYA SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP IV

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

Concentration of Cash Balances

The Company has significant cash balances at financial institutions which throughout the year regularly exceed the federally insured limit of $250,000. Any loss incurred or a lack of access to such funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company had no cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had no cash equivalents, aside from the cash maintained in the Trust Account (see Note 8).

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Trust Account

Initially, the Company’s portfolio of investments was comprised of U.S. Treasury securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities and generally have a readily determinable fair value, or a combination thereof. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of U.S. government securities, the investments are classified as trading securities. When the Company’s investments held in the Trust Account are comprised of money market funds, the investments are recognized at fair value. Trading securities and investments in money market funds are presented on the balance sheets at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the change in fair value of these securities are included in interest income and unrealized gain on investments held in Trust Account in the accompanying statements of operations. The estimated fair values of investments held in the Trust Account are determined using available market information. On February 27, 2023, the Company delivered an instruction letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting, as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Company is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal described above (see Note 1).

Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under the FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

• Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

• Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable, accrued expenses and due to related party approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. As of December 31, 2022, the Company’s investments held in Trust Account were comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less and were recognized at fair value. The fair value of investments held in Trust Account was determined using quoted prices in active markets. On February 27, 2023, the Company delivered an instruction letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting, as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Company is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal described above (see Note 1).

Offering Costs Associated with the Initial Public Offering

Offering costs consisted of legal, accounting, underwriting and other costs incurred that were directly related to the Initial Public Offering and that were charged to Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. Offering costs were allocated to the separable financial instruments issued in the Initial Public Offering based on a relative fair value basis, compared to total proceeds received. Offering costs associated with the Class A ordinary shares issued were charged against the carrying value of the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company classifies deferred underwriting commissions as non-current liabilities as their liquidation is not reasonably expected to require the use of current assets or require the creation of current liabilities.

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC 480. Class A ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable Class A ordinary shares (including Class A ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, Class A ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ deficit. The Public Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to the occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 3,690,831 and 14,950,000 Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s balance sheets.

Income Taxes

FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by

taxing authorities. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company’s management determined that the Cayman Islands is the Company’s only major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with the Cayman Islands’ income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Net (Loss) Income Per Ordinary Share

The Company has two classes of shares: Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. Net (loss) income per ordinary share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the periods. Accretion associated with the Class A ordinary shares subject to possible redemption is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net (loss) income per ordinary share (in dollars, except per share amounts):

	December 31,
	2023		2022
	Class A	Class B	Class A	Class B

Recent Accounting Standards

The Company’s management does not believe there are any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncement if currently adopted would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Note 3 - Initial Public Offering

On March 2, 2021, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 14,950,000 Public Shares, including the 1,950,000 Public Shares as a result of the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option, at an offering price of $10.00 per Public Share, generating gross proceeds of $149.5 million, and incurring offering costs of approximately $8.8 million, inclusive of approximately $5.2 million in deferred underwriting commissions. For more information on the waiver related to a portion of the deferred underwriting commissions that the Company received on August 8, 2022 and the partial liquidation of the Trust Account in connection with the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal and the related redemption of Class A ordinary shares, also see Note 1 above.

Note 4 - Related Party Transactions

Founder Shares

On January 4, 2021, the Sponsor paid $25,000 to cover for certain expenses on behalf of the Company in exchange for issuance of 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 (the “Founder Shares”). In February 2021, the Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 90,000 Founder Shares to the Company’s independent directors. The Sponsor agreed to forfeit up to 487,500 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option was not exercised in full by the underwriters, so that the Founder Shares would represent 20.0% of the Company’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares (excluding the Private Placement Shares) after the Initial Public Offering. The underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option on March 2, 2021; thus, these 487,500 Founder Shares were no longer subject to forfeiture.

The initial shareholders agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination and (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share sub-divisions, share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Public Shareholders having the right to exchange their ordinary shares for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Shares

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the Private Placement of 499,000 Private Placement Shares, at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Share to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million.

The Private Placement Shares are not transferable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination. Certain proceeds from the Private Placement Shares have been added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account.

The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Shares until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On March 2, 2021, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover for expenses related to the Initial Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”) and the Company subsequently reclassified the outstanding amount due to the Sponsor as borrowing under the Note. This loan was non-interest bearing and payable upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Company borrowed approximately $161,000 under the Note and fully repaid the Note upon closing of the Initial Public Offering. Subsequent to the repayment, the loan facility was no longer available to the Company.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company may repay any Working Capital Loans that may have been extended to the Company by the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans may be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of the proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay any Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay such Working Capital Loans. Except for the terms of the First Convertible Promissory Note, the Second Convertible Promissory Note and the Third Promissory Note, each as further described below, the terms of such Working Capital Loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to any other loans between the Company and the Sponsor, affiliates of the Sponsor, or the Company’s officers and directors. The Working Capital

Loans would either be repaid upon the consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lenders’ discretion, up to $1.5 million of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into shares of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $10.00 per share. The shares would be identical to the Private Placement Shares. Except as described below, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had no other outstanding borrowings under Working Capital Loans.

On November 7, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured convertible promissory note (the “First Convertible Promissory Note”) to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Company borrowed $120,000 (the “First Convertible Working Capital Loan”) from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes. Such loan may, at the Sponsor’s discretion, be converted into Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company (the “Working Capital Shares”) at a conversion price equal to $10.00 per Working Capital Share. The terms of the Working Capital Shares will be identical to those of the Private Placement Shares that were issued to the Sponsor in connection with the Initial Public Offering. The First Convertible Working Capital Loan will not bear any interest and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor, if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a Business Combination involving the Company and one or more businesses. The maturity date of the First Convertible Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the First Convertible Promissory Note). The Company granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant to that certain Registration and Shareholder Rights Agreement, dated March 2, 2021, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto (the “Registration and Shareholders Rights Agreement”). Further, each newly issued Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares, as contemplated by the Letter Agreement, dated February 25, 2021, by and among the Company, the Sponsor and the other parties thereto (the “Letter Agreement”). As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $120,000 and $120,000 of borrowings outstanding under the First Convertible Promissory Note, respectively.

On February 28, 2023, the Company issued a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note to the Sponsor in connection with the Extension Amendment Proposal, pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to $1,680,000 from the Sponsor for general corporate purposes and the funding of the deposits that the Company is required to make pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal at the Company’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders on February 28, 2023) and following the request of the Sponsor in connection with an optional monthly extension of the time period during which the Company may consummate a Business Combination (the “Second Convertible Promissory Note”). Up to $1,380,000 of the amounts loaned under the Second Convertible Promissory Note will be convertible at the option of the Sponsor into Working Capital Shares. This working capital loan outstanding pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note (the “Second Working Capital Loan”) will not bear any interest, and will be repayable by the Company to the Sponsor to the extent the Company has funds available outside of the Trust Account and if not converted or repaid on the effective date of a Business Combination. The maturity date of the Second Convertible Working Capital Loan may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined under the Second Convertible Promissory Note). The Company granted customary registration rights to the Sponsor with respect to any Working Capital Shares issued pursuant to the Second Convertible Promissory Note, which shall constitute “Registrable Securities” pursuant the Registration and Shareholders Rights Agreement. Further, each newly issued Working Capital Share shall bear the same transfer restrictions that apply to the Private Placement Shares, as contemplated by the Letter Agreement. See Note 9 for information on the amendment to the Second Promissory Note that was adopted in connection with a proposed Business Combination.

On April 18, 2023, June 2, 2023, July 6, 2023, August 2, 2023 and September 5, 2023, the Company withdrew an additional $400,000, $140,000, $140,000, $140,000 and $165,000, respectively, from the Second Convertible Promissory Note (see Note 1).

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of Founder Shares and Private Placement Shares, including Private Placement Shares that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans, are entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Registration and Shareholders Rights Agreement. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company registers such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the Company’s completion of its Business Combination. However, the Registration and Shareholders Rights Agreement provides that the Company will not permit any registration statement filed under the Securities Act to become effective until termination of the applicable lock-up period, which occurs (i) in the case of the Founder Shares, in accordance with the letter agreement the Company’s initial shareholders entered into and (ii) in the case of the Private Placement Shares, 30 days after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements. See Note 9 for information on the Investor Rights Agreement that was executed in connection with a proposed Business Combination and that will replace the Registration and Shareholders Rights Agreement in connection with the closing of the proposed Business Combination.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company granted the underwriters a 45-day option from the final prospectus relating to the Initial Public Offering to purchase up to 1,950,000 additional Public Shares to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 2, 2021, the underwriters fully exercised the over-allotment option.

The underwriters were paid an underwriting discount of $0.20 per Public Share, or approximately $3.0 million in the aggregate, paid upon the closing of the Initial Public Offering. In addition, $0.35 per Public Share, or approximately

$5.2 million in the aggregate will be payable to the underwriters for deferred underwriting commissions. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On August 8, 2022, the Company received a waiver from one of the underwriters of its Initial Public Offering pursuant to which such underwriter waived all rights to its 50% share of the deferred underwriting commissions payable upon completion of an initial Business Combination. In connection with this waiver, the underwriter also agreed that (i) this waiver is not intended to allocate its 50% portion of the deferred underwriting commissions to the other underwriter that has not waived its right to receive its share of the deferred underwriting commissions and (ii) the waived portion of the deferred underwriting commissions can, at the discretion of the Company, be paid to one or more parties or otherwise be used in connection with an initial Business Combination. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company derecognized approximately $2.6 million of the deferred underwriting commissions and recorded an adjustment to the carrying value of the shares of Class A ordinary shares subject to redemption.

Holders of Class A ordinary shares and holders of Class B ordinary shares will vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the shareholders except as required by law.

The Class B ordinary shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares on the first business day following the consummation of the initial Business Combination at a ratio such that the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, 20% of the sum of (i) the total number of ordinary shares issued and outstanding (excluding the Private Placement Shares) upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering, plus (ii) the sum of the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Shares issued to the Sponsor, members of the Company’s management team or any of their affiliates upon conversion of Working Capital Loans.

Note 8 - Fair Value Measurements

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques that the Company utilized to determine such fair value:

December 31, 2022

Description	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Significant Other Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets held in Trust Account:
U.S. Treasury Securities	$151,628,280	$—	$—
Cash equivalents – money market funds	614	—	—

Level 1 instruments include investments U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less. On February 27, 2023, the Company delivered an instruction letter to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company acting, as trustee, to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and instead to hold the funds in the Trust Account in cash in an interest-bearing demand deposit account until the earlier of the consummation of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation. The Company is taking these steps in order to mitigate the risk that the Company might be deemed to be an investment company for purposes of the Investment Company Act following the adoption of the Extension Amendment Proposal described above (see Note 1). There were no transfers between levels of the hierarchy for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Adagio Stockholder Transaction Support Agreements

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, certain stockholders of Adagio entered into transaction support agreements (collectively, the “Adagio Transaction Support Agreements”) with the Company and Adagio, pursuant to which such stockholders of Adagio agreed to, among other things, (i) vote in favor of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) be bound by certain covenants and agreements related to the Proposed Adagio Business Combination.

PIPE Financing (Private Placement)

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, ListCo and the Company entered into Subscription Agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with the Perceptive PIPE Investor and certain other investors (the “Other PIPE Investors,” and, together with the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors committed financing valued at approximately $45,000,000, which includes (i) commitments by certain investors to subscribe for and purchase Class A ordinary shares in the open market and not to redeem such shares prior to the date the Closing occurs (the “Closing Date”), (ii) non-redemption commitments by certain investors, (iii) the contribution of $23,000,000 of 2023 Bridge Financing Notes to ListCo, and (iv) an additional cash investment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor of approximately $8.1 million (which amount may be reduced by up to approximately $1,070,575 subject to Additional Financing being raised prior to Closing), as described in more detail below (together, the “PIPE Financing”). In connection with the PIPE Financing, certain PIPE Investors will also be issued warrants to purchase shares of New Adagio Common Stock at $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Warrants”) and/or Pre-Funded Warrants (as defined below). As provided for in the Subscription Agreements, the number of shares of New Adagio Common Stock and Warrants issuable to the PIPE Investors will depend on the redemption value of the Class A ordinary shares at Closing, the average per share price of the Class A ordinary shares purchased by certain PIPE Investors in the open market and the amount of interest on the 2023 Bridge Financing Notes that will have accrued and be unpaid at Closing and be contributed to ListCo in exchange for shares of New Adagio Common Stock. In connection with the PIPE Financing, certain PIPE Investors also committed to purchase pre-funded warrants, which are exercisable for a nominal exercise price of $0.01 (the “Pre-Funded Warrants,” and together with the Warrants, the “PIPE Warrants”). The shares of New Adagio Common Stock and PIPE Warrants to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreements have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the PIPE Investors certain registration rights in connection with the PIPE Financing. The PIPE Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent Closing.

Convertible Security Financing (Private Placement)

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, certain investors, including the Perceptive PIPE Investor (the “Convert Investors”), executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the Closing Date to the Convert Investors $20,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “New Adagio Convertible Notes”), which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio Common Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Conversion Shares”), and 1,500,000 warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), which will be exercisable on a cashless basis or for cash at a price of $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Convert Financing”), and will expire on the seventh anniversary of the Closing. Such $20,000,000 of financing in the form of New Adagio Convertible Notes includes the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment (as defined below) and includes the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes (as defined below) into New Adagio Convertible Notes at Closing, subject in each case to Additional Financing (as defined

below) being raised prior to Closing, as further described below. The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding. As described above, in connection with the execution of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, the Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased a $7,000,000 convertible promissory note of Adagio (the “2024 Bridge Financing Notes”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, by and among the Perceptive PIPE Investor, Adagio and ListCo (the “2024 Bridge Financing Notes Subscription Agreement”). On the Closing Date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Notes will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for $5,500,000 aggregate principal amount of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the other Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (such commitment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor to purchase New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, the “Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment,” and the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment as part of the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to the Company and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing (any such financing, an “Additional Financing”), whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the Closing Date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the Closing Date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes and the Convert Warrants issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent Closing.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, on the Closing Date, ListCo, certain of its subsidiaries (other than Adagio Medical GmbH, a company organized under the laws of Germany and an excluded subsidiary thereunder) (the “Subsidiaries”) and Allegro Management LLC, as the collateral agent (the “Collateral Agent”) on behalf of the Convert Investors, will enter into a security and pledge agreement (the “Convert Security Document”), pursuant to which ListCo and the Subsidiaries will (i) pledge the equity interests in the Subsidiaries to the Collateral Agent, (ii) pledge all of their respective promissory notes, securities and other instruments evidencing indebtedness to the Collateral Agent, and (iii) grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest in and lien on all of their respective personal property and assets, including, among other items, all of their deposit accounts, chattel paper, documents, equipment, general intangibles, instruments and inventory, and all proceeds therefrom, in each case subject to customary exceptions, all as set forth in the form of the Convert Security Document. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Subsidiaries will deliver a guaranty (the “Convert Guaranty”) to the Collateral Agent pursuant to which the Subsidiaries will, jointly and severally, guaranty ListCo’s obligation to repay the New Adagio Convertible Notes and all other obligations of ListCo under the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement and the New Adagio Convertible Notes and other related transaction documents, as set forth in the form of the Convert Guaranty. Any additional subsidiaries of ListCo formed or acquired after the closing date will be required to join the Convert Guaranty as additional guarantors.

Convert Registration Rights Agreement

The Conversion Shares, the Convert Warrants, the Convert Warrant Shares, the New Adagio Convertible Notes and any capital stock of ListCo issued or issuable with respect to the Conversion Shares, have not been registered under the Securities Act. In connection with the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement, ListCo and the Convert Investors agreed to enter into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Convert Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will be required to file a registration statement on Form S-3 or, if not available, Form S-1 (the “Convert Registration Statement”) with the SEC to register for resale all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement), as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement). In the event that the number of shares registered for resale under the Convert Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities, ListCo will amend the Registration Statement or file with the SEC a new registration statement to cover at least the Required Registration Amount (as defined in the Convert Registration Rights Agreement) as of the trading day immediately

F-23

ARYA SCIENCES ACQUISITION CORP IV

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2023

preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new registration statement, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than 15 days after the necessity therefor arises. If ListCo fails to file the Convert Registration Statement when required, fails to obtain effectiveness by SEC when required or fails to maintain the effectiveness of the Convert Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of Section 2(e) of the Convert Registration Rights Agreement, then as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of New Adagio Common Stock, ListCo will be required to pay each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Convert Registration Statement an amount equal to one percent of such Convert Investor’s original principal amount according to the timelines laid out in Section 2(e) of the Convert Registration Rights Agreement.

Investor Rights Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, ListCo, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor, the Other Class B Shareholders and certain Adagio stockholders entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Investor Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Sponsor, the Other Class B Shareholders and certain Adagio stockholders and investors in the Convertible Security Financing will be granted certain customary registration rights. Further, subject to customary exceptions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, the shares of New Adagio Common Stock beneficially owned or owned of record by the Sponsor, the Perceptive PIPE Investor, certain officers and directors of the Company and New Adagio (including any shares of New Adagio Common Stock issued pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement or the PIPE Financing) will be subject to a lock-up period beginning on the Closing Date until the date that is the earlier of (i) 365 days following the Closing Date (or six months after the Closing Date, in the case of Olav Bergheim, John Dahldorf, Hakon Bergheim, Todd Wider, Michael Henderson and Leslie Trigg) or (ii) the first date subsequent to the Closing Date with respect to which the closing price of the shares of New Adagio Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the Closing Date.

Adoption of Second Extension Amendment Proposal

On February 27, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in view of approving an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association to extend the Termination Date from March 2, 2024 (the “Previous Termination Date”) to April 2, 2024 (the “Articles Extension Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date to consummate a Business Combination on a monthly basis for up to eleven times by an additional one month each time after the Articles Extension Date, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, if requested by the Sponsor, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until March 2, 2025 or a total of up to forty-eight months from the closing of the initial public offering, unless the closing of a Business Combination shall have occurred prior thereto (the “Second Extension Amendment Proposal”). In connection with the initial one-month extension from the Previous Termination Date to the Articles Extension Date, the Company made a deposit into the Trust Account of $111,000 and drew down on the Fourth Promissory Note to finance this deposit. In connection with any subsequent optional monthly extensions following the Articles Extension Date, the Sponsor is expected to make deposits of $111,000 per month into the Trust Account and borrow the necessary funds from the Sponsor in the form of convertible notes, as provided for in the amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association that was adopted on February 27, 2024.

As contemplated by the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the holders of Public Shares were able to elect to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in exchange for their pro rata portion of the funds held in the Trust Account in connection with the Second Extension Amendment Proposal. On February 27, 2024, the Second Extension Amendment Proposal was adopted and 390,815 Public Shares were redeemed for an aggregate amount of approximately $4,358,804. Following the adoption of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the Company had 3,799,016 Class A ordinary shares, including 3,300,016 Public Shares and 499,000 private placement shares, and 3,737,500 Class B ordinary shares issued and outstanding. Following the approval of the Second Extension Amendment Proposal, the ordinary shares held by the initial shareholders represented 56.2% of the issued and outstanding ordinary shares (including Private Placement Shares).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Adagio Medical, Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Adagio Medical, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, convertible preferred stock and stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Adagio Medical, Inc. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the entity will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the entity has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the entity’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to Adagio Medical, Inc. in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Adagio Medical, Inc. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2023.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 - Organization and Description of Business

Adagio Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary (the “Company”) is a medical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of ablation technologies for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia. The Company’s technologies center on ultra-low temperature cryoablation (“ULTC”) and pulsed field cryoablation (“PFCA”), designed to produce durable, contiguous, transmural lesions anywhere in the heart using the Company’s proprietary consoles, catheters, and stylets. The Company received CE Marking in Europe for its iCLAS™ Cryoablation System in June 2020 and has commercially launched in the EU. The Company has not launched commercially in the U.S. but is working towards obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals to do so.

The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on January 18, 2011, and is headquartered in Laguna Hills, California. Adagio Medical GmbH was formed in March 2020 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary that provides direct sales, distribution, marketing services, and clinical trial management in Europe.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company has limited revenue and has incurred operating losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception and anticipates that it will continue to do so for at least the next several years. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, net losses were $38.1 million and $23.7 million, respectively, and net cash used in operating activities was $25.7 million and $22.4 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $135.2 million and $97.1 million, respectively, and working capital deficit of $43.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

Management does not believe the Company's current cash and cash equivalents are sufficient to fund operations for at least the next 12 months from the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that this raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Management intends to mitigate the conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern entity by (i) pursuing a public offering of its common stock or in a business combination (the “SPAC transaction”) with a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (the “SPAC”) to obtain additional capital and align the Company’s long-term operating strategy (refer to Note 16-Subsequent Events for further detail), (ii) negotiate other cash equity or debt financing in the short-term, and (iii) continue to pursue the necessary regulatory approvals to launch commercially in the U.S. market. However, there can be no assurances that the current plans will generate any liquidity to the Company or be available on terms acceptable to the Company.

If the Company is unable to maintain sufficient financial resources, its business, financial condition, and results of operations will be materially and adversely affected. The Company may be required to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its product discovery and development activities or future commercialization efforts. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Strategic Realignment of Resources and Corporate Restructuring

On December 1, 2023, the Company’s management approved a strategic realignment of resources and corporate restructuring (the “RIF”) designed to reallocate capital, conformant to its business focus for the next two years.

As part of the RIF, the Company initiated a reduction in its current workforce of 20 employees, representing approximately 19% of the Company’s employees, which was completed on December 15, 2023. In compliance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Company has provided termination notices to affected employees and government authorities if required.

The Company made no payment for severance or related benefit costs. The Company made no payment of retention bonuses.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to the authoritative United States generally accepted accounting principles as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

Emerging Growth Company Status

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), as modified by the Jumpstart our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”).

Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when an accounting standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Adagio Medical, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates and Assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Segments

Operating segments are defined as components of an entity for which separate financial information is available and that is regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources to an individual segment and in assessing performance. The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has determined that it operates as one reportable segment, as the CODM reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources, and evaluating financial performance.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase, including its money market account, to be cash equivalents. All of the Company’s cash equivalents have liquid markets. Cash deposits held in accounts at each United States financial institution are insured up to $0.25 million by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Cash deposits held in accounts at each European Union financial institution are insured up to €0.1 million by the Deposit Guarantee Scheme. The Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed FDIC insured limits. Any loss incurred or lack of access to uninsured funds could have a significant adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Management does not expect any losses on such accounts.

Concentrations of Credit Risk and Off-Balance Sheet Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company deposits its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions; however, at times, deposits may exceed the amount of insurance provided. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits since inception.

On March 10, 2023, Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) was closed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, which immediately appointed the FDIC as receiver. SVB held $0.5 million of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023. The Company’s full exposure was ultimately covered by the FDIC and no loss was incurred.

Revenue Recognition

The Company generates product revenue primarily from the sale of cryoablation catheters, stylets, esophageal warming balloons, and other accessories (collectively, the “Consumables”) used with the Company’s cryoablation consoles (“Consoles”). The Company sells its products directly to hospitals and medical centers. To a lesser extent, the Company also generates lease revenue from the implied rental of Consoles loaned to customers at no charge.

The Company accounts for revenue earned from contracts with customers under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of ASC 606 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue from sales to customers applying the following five steps:

• Step 1: Identify the contract with the customer.

• Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract.

• Step 3: Determine the transaction price.

• Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract.

• Step 5: Recognize revenue when, or as, the company satisfies a performance obligation.

The Company’s customer contracts generally have performance obligations that contain deliverables consisting of the Consumables and may also include Consoles loaned to customers. The Company evaluates each promise within a multiple-performance obligation arrangement to determine whether it represents a distinct performance obligation. The primary performance obligations in the Company’s customer arrangements from which it derives revenue is the sale of the Consumables.

When the Company loans the Console to the customer, it retains title to the Console at all times and does not require minimum purchase commitments from the customer related to any Consumables. In such cases, the Company invoices the customer for the Consumables based on customer orders received. Over time, the Company expects to recover the cost of the loaned Console through the customer’s continued purchasing and use of additional Consumables. For these reasons, the Company has determined that part of the arrangement consideration for the Consumables is an implied rental payment for use of the Console. Therefore, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration between the lease components (i.e., the Console) and non-lease components (i.e., the Consumables) based on the relative estimated standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation consistent with ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606. Revenue allocated to the lease components was not material for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Revenue from sales to customers of the Consumables is classified as revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The delivery of the Consumables are performance obligations

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

satisfied at a point in time, when the control of the goods is transferred to the customer (i.e., FOB Shipping Point). Revenue is recognized when control is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the product.

Other Revenue Considerations

Revenue is reported net of sales tax. The Company has made the accounting policy election not to recognize a separate performance obligation for the shipment of products to the customer but to account for it as fulfillment cost.

The Company’s contracts primarily include fixed consideration. The Company only includes estimated variable amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Customers are generally required to pay within 30 days.

Any incremental costs to obtain contracts are recorded as selling, general and administrative expense as incurred due to the short duration of the Company’s contracts.

The Company does not assess whether promised goods or services are performance obligations if they are deemed immaterial in the context of the contract with the customer. Additionally, the Company does not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component if the expectation at contract inception is that the period between payment by the customer and the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer will be one year or less.

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, revenue was generated only from European markets.

Inventory

Inventory consists of raw materials, work-in-process, and finished products and is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The method by which that amounts are removed from the inventory is first-in first-out (“FIFO”). Cost may include materials, labor, and manufacturing overhead. The carrying value of inventory is reviewed for potential impairment whenever indicators suggest that the cost of inventory exceeds the carrying value and management adjusts the inventory to its net realizable value. The Company also periodically evaluates inventory for estimated losses from excess quantities and obsolescence and writes down the cost of inventory to net realizable value at the time such determinations are made. Net realizable value is determined using the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. Inventory used in research & development activities are expensed when incurred.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, generally three to five years, or, in the case of leasehold improvements, over the remaining life of the lease term. Specifically, Consoles have a five-year useful life.

Property and equipment includes equipment that is loaned to customers and located at customer premises. The Company retains ownership of the equipment held for evaluation by customers and has the right to remove the equipment if it is not being utilized according to expectations.

Concentrations

The Company had three suppliers exceed 10.0% of total accounts payable as of December 31, 2023, representing 71.6% of accounts payable. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had one supplier exceed 10.0% of total accounts payable, representing 17.1% of accounts payable.

The Company’s five and ten largest suppliers accounted for approximately 45.0% and 54.3%, respectively, of the Company’s expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company’s five and ten largest suppliers accounted for approximately 23.0% and 31.8%, respectively, of the Company’s expenditures for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets, including property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized when the asset’s carrying value exceeds the total undiscounted cash flows expected from its use and eventual disposition. The amount of the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its fair value. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that there was no impairment of long-lived assets.

Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions

The assets, liabilities, and results of operations of Adagio Medical GmbH are recorded using the Euro as the designated functional currency, which is the currency of the primary economic environment in which Adagio Medical GmbH operates. Consequently, transactions in currencies other than Euro are measured and recorded in Euro. Upon consolidation with the Company, its assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. Dollars at currency exchange rates as of the balance sheet date and its revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted-average currency exchange rates during the applicable reporting periods. Translation adjustments resulting from the process of translating this entity’s financial statements are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated balance sheets and foreign currency translation adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Leases

The Company accounts for its lease property under ASC 842. Under this guidance, arrangements meeting the definition of a lease are classified as operating or financing leases, and are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets as both a right-of-use asset and a lease liability, calculated by discounting fixed lease payments over the lease term at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate, which is the rate for collateralized borrowings based on the current economic environment, current borrowings, value of leases, currency in which the lease obligation is satisfied, rate sensitivity, lease term and materiality. Lease liabilities are increased by interest and reduced by payments each period, and the right-of-use asset is amortized over the lease term. For operating leases, interest on the lease liability and the amortization of the right-of-use asset results in straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Variable lease expenses are recorded when incurred.

The Company determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at the inception of the contract. A contract will be deemed to be or contain a lease if the contract conveys the right to control and direct the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company generally must also have the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the property, plant, and equipment.

The Company uses the implicit rate in the lease agreement, when readily available, or its incremental borrowing rate as the basis to calculate the present value of future lease payments at lease commencement. The incremental borrowing rate represents the rate the Company would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralize basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment.

In calculating the right-of-use asset and lease liability, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components for its real estate leases. The Company adopted the policy election to exclude short-term leases having initial terms of 12 months from the initial recognition provisions of ASC 842. Refer to Note 9-Operating Leases for additional details.

The Company’s implied rental agreements for its consoles qualify as operating leases and as such, revenue is recognized in accordance with ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Revenue allocated to the lease components were not significant for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Cost of Revenue

Cost of revenue includes raw materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, shipping and receiving costs and other less significant indirect costs related to the production of the Company’s products.

Cost of revenue also includes the depreciation expense of Consoles loaned to the customers.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, consulting fees, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel directly engaged in research and development activities, clinical trial expenses, equipment costs, material costs, allocated rent and facilities costs, and depreciation. Research and development expenses relating to possible future products are expensed as incurred. The Company also accrues and expenses costs for activities associated with clinical trials performed by third parties as incurred.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative consist primarily of salaries, and employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel in executive, finance and other administrative functions, allocated rent and facilities costs, legal fees relating to intellectual property and corporate matters, professional fees for accounting and consulting services, marketing costs and insurance costs. The Company expenses all selling, general, and administrative costs as incurred.

Accrued Transaction Costs

In connection with the expected Transaction (as defined in Note 7-Debt), the Company accrued transaction costs, consisting primarily of legal, accounting and other professional fees, which was incurred and expensed as of December 31, 2023, but not yet paid. The accrued expenses are recorded in accrued transaction costs on the consolidated balance sheets.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are based on the premise that fair value is an exit price representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the following three-tier fair value hierarchy is used in determining the inputs for measuring fair value:

• Level 1-Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

• Level 2-Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices for similar assets or liabilities that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

• Level 3-Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity and consist of financial instruments valued using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on estimated fair values. Accordingly, the fair value estimates disclosed, or initial amounts recorded may not be indicative of the amount that the Company or holders of the instruments could realize in a current market exchange. The fair value of the convertible notes payable may be impacted by certain unobservable inputs, most significantly with regard to discount rates, expected volatility and historical and projected performance. Significant changes to these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly different fair value measurement.

Fair Value Option for Convertible Notes

As permitted under ASC 825, Financial Instruments (“ASC 825”), the Company elected the fair value option to account for the convertible promissory notes issued in October 2022 (the “October 2022 Convertible Notes”), April 2023 (the “April 2023 Convertible Notes”), and November 2023 (the “November 2023 Convertible Notes”) in order to measure those liabilities at amounts that more accurately reflect the current economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company recorded the October 2022 Convertible Notes, April 2023 Convertible

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Notes, and November 2023 Convertible Notes at fair value at issuance and subsequently remeasures them to fair value at the end of each reporting period. Changes in fair value are recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. As a result of applying the fair value option, direct costs and fees related to the issuance of the October 2022 Convertible Notes, April 2023 Convertible Notes, and November 2023 Convertible Notes were expensed as incurred (i.e., not recognized as deferred costs). Refer to Note 3-Fair Value Measurements for further detail.

Warrants

The Company accounts for certain common stock warrants outstanding as warrant liabilities at fair value, determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, on the consolidated balance sheets in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).

The Company evaluates its financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is reassessed at the end of each reporting period. Equity instruments that are initially classified as equity that become subject to reclassification are reclassified to a liability at the fair value of the instrument on the reclassification date. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Changes in fair value are recognized as warrant liabilities fair value adjustment in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The liability is subject to re-measurement at the end of each reporting period. See Note 8-Warrants for additional information related to the warrants.

Term Loan

The Company accounts for the term loan at residual value on the date of issuance. The expected life of the term loan is the contractual term ending on the maturity date. The Company classifies the term loan as current liabilities within twelve months of the maturity date or when otherwise due. Interest expense is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss over the contractual term of the loan. See Note 7-Debt for additional information related to the term loan.

Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company records convertible preferred stock at fair value on the dates of issuance, net of issuance costs. Upon the occurrence of certain events that are outside the Company’s control, including a deemed liquidation event, holders of the convertible preferred stock can cause redemption for cash. Each share of preferred stock would automatically be converted into shares of common stock at the then effective conversion rate immediately upon the earlier of (i) the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of preferred stock, voting as a separate class on an as-converted to common stock basis, or (ii) the closing of the sale of the Company’s common stock in a firm commitment, underwritten public offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with aggregate offering proceeds to the Company (before deduction for underwriters’ discounts and expenses relating to the issuance) of at least $75.0 million and a public offering price per share equal to at least $67.83 (subject to adjustments for stock dividends, splits, combinations and similar events).

As the preferred stock is considered to be contingently redeemable, the preferred stock has been classified outside of permanent equity. The preferred stock will be accreted to its redemption value if the deemed liquidation events are considered probable of occurring.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes compensation expense for all stock-based awards issued to employees and non-employees based on the estimated grant-date fair value, which is recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The Company has elected to recognize forfeitures as they occur. The fair value of stock options is

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

determined using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The determination of fair value for stock-based awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model requires management to make certain assumptions including expected volatility, expected term, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends in addition to the Company’s common stock valuation. Refer to Note 12-Stock-Based Compensation.

Due to the absence of an active market for the Company’s common stock, the Company utilized methodologies, approaches, and assumptions consistent with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Audit and Accounting Practice Aid Series: Valuation of Privately Held Company Equity Securities Issued as Compensation to estimate the fair value of its common stock. In determining the exercise prices for options granted, the Company considered the fair value of the common stock as of the grant date. The fair value of the common stock is determined based upon a variety of factors, including the Company’s financial position, historical performance and operating results, the Company’s stage of development, the progress of the Company’s research and development programs, the prices at which the Company sold its convertible preferred stock, the superior rights, preferences and privileges of the Company’s convertible preferred stock relative to its common stock, external market conditions affecting the medical technologies industry, the lack of marketability of the Company’s common stock, prospects of a transaction and market performance of peer companies. Significant changes to the key assumptions underlying the factors used could result in different fair values of the Company at each valuation date.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are recorded in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”), which provides for deferred taxes using an asset and liability approach. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the consolidated financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse and include Net Operating Loss (“NOL”) carryforwards and Research and Development (“R&D”) tax credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are provided if, based upon the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740. When uncertain tax positions exist, the Company recognizes the tax benefit of tax positions to the extent that the benefit would more likely than not be realized assuming examination by the taxing authority. The determination as to whether the tax benefit will more likely than not be realized is based upon the technical merits of the tax position as well as consideration of the available facts and circumstances.

The Company adopted ASU 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes in the first quarter of 2021 and has recorded franchise taxes not based on income outside of income tax expense. The Company’s practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company had no accrual for interest and penalties on its consolidated balance sheets and has not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

To date, there have been no interest or penalties charged in relation to the unrecognized tax benefits. Refer to Note 14-Income Taxes for additional details.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASU l2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 sets forth a “current expected credit loss” model which requires the Company to measure all expected credit losses for financial instruments held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. This replaces the existing incurred loss model and is applicable to the measurement of credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost, available-for-sale debt securities and applies to certain off-balance sheet credit exposures. ASU 2016-13 is effective for smaller reporting companies in 2023. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2023, with no material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Fair Value Measurements

The Company’s financial instruments include its money market accounts (included as part of cash and cash equivalents), accounts receivable, accounts payable, common stock warrant liabilities, and convertible notes payables. The recorded carrying amounts of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates fair value due to their short-term nature. The convertible notes and common stock warrant liabilities are carried at fair value.

Assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets consists of cash equivalents, common stock warrant liabilities, and convertible notes payables. These items are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial instruments at fair value based on the fair value hierarchy for each class of instrument (in thousands):

December 31, 2023	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3
Assets:
Money market account	$24	$—	$—
Liabilities:
Convertible notes payables	$—	$—	$37,986

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company measures the October 2022 Convertible Notes, April 2023 Convertible Notes, and November 2023 Convertible Notes (collectively, “Convertible Notes”) at fair value based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which caused them to be classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the fair value of the Convertible Notes related to updated assumptions and estimates were recognized as convertible notes fair value adjustment within the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

In determining the fair value of the Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2023, the Company applied the probability-weighted expected return method (“PWERM”). The PWERM determines the value of an instrument based upon an analysis of future values for the potential instrument payouts under different future outcomes. The instrument value is based upon the present value of the probability of each future outcome becoming available to the instrument holders, and the rights of each security.

The Company calculated the estimated fair value of convertible promissory notes as of December 31, 2023 using the following assumptions:

October 2022 Convertible Notes	December 31, 2023
Discount rate	36.8%
Expected Term (years)	0.33
Risk-Free interest rate	5.4%
Volatility	110.0%

April 2023 Convertible Notes	December 31, 2023
Discount rate	30.6%
Expected Term (years)	0.33
Risk-Free interest rate	5.4%
Volatility	110.0%

November 2023 Convertible Notes	December 31, 2023
Discount rate	30.6%
Expected Term (years)	0.33
Risk-Free interest rate	5.4%
Volatility	110.0%

2012 Stock Incentive Plan

In January 2011, the Board approved the 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), which permitted grants of Incentive Stock Options (“ISOs”) and Non-statutory Stock Options (“NSOs”) to employees, directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares that can be granted under the 2012 Plan cannot exceed 1,255,000 shares. The 2012 Plan had a maximum 10-year term and as such, terminated in January 2022.

2022 Stock Incentive Plan

In April 2022, the Board approved, in conjunction with the termination of the 2012 Plan, the 2022 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2022 Plan”), permitting ISOs and NSOs to employees, directors and consultants. The maximum number of shares granted under the 2022 Plan cannot exceed 203,855 plus any shares subject to stock options granted under

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

the 2012 Plan that expired or were otherwise terminated without having been exercised in full, were forfeited, or were repurchased by the Company. The 2022 Plan is intended as the successor to and continuation of the 2012 Plan (thereafter both the 2012 and 2022 Plans are referred to as the “Stock Incentive Plan”).

The Stock Incentive Plan provides a means whereby participants may purchase shares of common stock pursuant to ISOs or NSOs and such persons may be granted shares of common stock for consideration consisting of cash and/or past services rendered to or on behalf of the Company. ISOs may only be granted to employees. NSOs and stock purchase rights may be granted to employees and consultants. Generally, options awards only have service conditions that need to be met for the awards to vest, with the exception of grants to two non-employees that had performance obligations that were deemed to be immaterial.

The stock options generally vest over four years and have a ten-year contractual term. The fair value of each employee and non-employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. As the Company lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information required for valuation, the Company estimates its expected stock volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected life term of ISOs that were granted after 2013 was determined using the “simplified method” provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Staff Accounting Bulletins Number 107 and 110. The expected life term of NSOs is determined either by using the “simplified method,” or by calculating the time to expiry from the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero as the Company has never paid nor does it expect to pay any cash dividend in the near future.

The weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock option granted during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are listed in the table below:

	Year ended December 31, 2023	Year ended December 31, 2022
Risk-free interest rate	3.69%	2.98%
Expected dividend yield	—%	— %
Expected term in years	6.37	6.74

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Company received $18.3 thousand and $25.4 thousand related to stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Certain stock option grants under the Stock Incentive Plan allow the recipient to exercise the options prior to the options becoming fully vested. Under the Stock Incentive Plan, the Company retains the right to repurchase common shares that have been issued upon early exercise of options at the original issue price. Cash received for the early exercise of unvested stock options is initially recorded as a liability. At each reporting date, the vested shares are released to equity.

The total Intrinsic value for stock options exercised was $30.2 thousand and $64.9 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The fair value of awards vested was $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested stock option awards granted was $0.7 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.3 years.

Note 13 - Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share excludes the potential impact of the Company’s convertible preferred stock, common stock warrants, and common stock options because the Company's net losses would cause such shares to be anti-dilutive. Therefore, as the Company recorded net losses in the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the years presented (in thousands, except share and per share data):

Years ended December 31,	2023	2022
Numerator:
Net loss attributable to common stockholders	$(38,146)	$(23,673)

Net loss per share attributable to common stockholders – basic and diluted	(50.20)	(31.50)

The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share calculations for the years presented because the impact of including them would be anti-dilutive:

There was no income tax provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Current income taxes are based upon the year’s income taxable for federal, state and foreign tax reporting purposes. Deferred income taxes are provided for certain income and expenses which are recognized in different periods for tax and financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the consolidated financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income, and include NOL carryforwards and R&D tax credit carryforwards.

Net deferred tax assets (liabilities)	$—	$—

The Company has established a valuation allowance as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 to fully offset the net deferred tax assets of $32.1 million and $30.0 million, respectively. Realization of the future tax benefits is dependent on the Company’s ability to generate sufficient taxable income within the carryforward period. Management assesses the available positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be generated to permit use of the existing deferred tax assets. A significant piece of objective negative evidence evaluated was the cumulative loss incurred over the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. Such objective evidence limits the ability to consider other subjective evidence, such as the Company’s projections for future commercialization. Management has concluded that it is more likely than not that the Company will not have sufficient foreseeable taxable income to allow for the utilization of the deferred tax assets; therefore, a full valuation allowance has been established to reduce the net deferred tax assets to zero at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had federal NOL carryforwards of approximately $100.0 million and $84.8 million, respectively. $19.0 million of the federal NOL carryforwards will begin to expire from 2031. Due to the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, federal net operating losses generated beginning in 2018 are carried forward indefinitely. Therefore, the remaining federal NOL carry forwards of $81.0 million and $65.8 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, have an unlimited carryover period. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had state NOL carryforwards of $53.4 million and $53.4 million, respectively, which will begin to expire from 2031. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had a NOL from Adagio Medical GmbH of $249.3 thousand and $138.7 thousand, respectively. The NOLs are carried forward indefinitely. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company also had net federal R&D tax credit carry-forwards of approximately $1.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The federal R&D tax credits will begin to expire in 2038. The Company had no state R&D credits.

The Company’s tax attribute carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to ownership change limitations that may have occurred or that could occur in the future, as required by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as well as similar state and foreign provisions. These ownership changes may limit the amount of NOL and R&D credit carryforwards that can be used annually to offset future taxable income and tax, respectively. In general, an “ownership change” as defined by Section 382 of the Code results from a transaction or series of transactions over a three-year period resulting in an ownership change of more than 50% of the outstanding stock of a company by certain stockholders. The Company has not completed a study to assess whether an ownership change has occurred or whether there have been multiple ownership changes since the Company’s formation due to the complexity and cost associated with such study, and the fact that there may be additional such ownership changes in the future. Any limitation may result in expiration of a portion of the NOL carryforwards or R&D tax credit carryforwards before utilization; however, such limitation, if any, would not have an impact on the Company’s financial statement due to the full valuation allowance.

The Company conducts intensive research and experimentation activities, generating R&D tax credits for federal purposes under Section 41 of the Code. The Company has performed a formal study validating these credits claimed in the tax returns.

The following table summarizes the changes to unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Years ended December 31,	2023	2022
Balance at beginning of year	$321	$321

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

As of December 31, 2023, the Company has unrecognized tax benefits of $0.5 million of which $0.5 million will affect the effective tax rate if recognized when the Company no longer has a valuation allowance offsetting its deferred tax assets.

The Company does not anticipate that there will be a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits over the next 12 months.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal and various state tax as well as Germany tax jurisdictions. Since the Company formed in 2011, all filed tax returns are subject to examination. Generally, the tax years remain open for examination by the federal statute under a three-year statute of limitation; however, states generally keep their statutes open between three and four years. However, the Company’s tax years from inception are subject to examination by the United States and various state taxing authorities due to the carry forward of unused NOLs and R&D credits.

Enacted in December 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”) amended Section 174 to require capitalization of all research and experimental (“R&E”) costs incurred in tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, R&E costs must be amortized over five years if the R&E activities are performed in the U.S., or over 15 years if the activities are performed outside of the U.S., beginning with the midpoint of the tax year in which the costs were paid or incurred. During 2023, the Company capitalized $15.5 million of R&E costs. The Company plans to refine the calculation for Section 174 and make an adjustment on the tax return.

Note 15 - Related Party Transactions

Shared Services Agreement

During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $1.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively, for finance and accounting services and other general and administrative support services (“Shared Services Agreement”) to Fjord Ventures (“Fjord”), a company owned and operated by the Company’s CEO. The transactions are recorded as selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

Laguna Hills Sublease

In addition to the Shared Services Agreement, the Company also sub-leases approximately 4,992 square feet of office and manufacturing space in Laguna Hills, California from Fjord. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred $0.1 million and $0.1 million of lease expense, respectively, under the sub-lease agreement.

New Adagio Convertible Notes and 2024 Bridge Financing Note

In connection with the Business Combination, certain investors executed a securities purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, with ListCo (the “Convertible Security Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which ListCo will issue on the closing date to the certain investors (“Convert Investors”) $20.0 million of 13% senior secured convertible notes (the “New Adagio Convertible Notes”), which will be convertible into shares of New Adagio common stock, and warrants (the “Convert Warrants”), each of which will be exercisable on a cashless basis or for one share of New Adagio common stock at $24.00 per share, subject to adjustment (the “Base Convert Financing”). The New Adagio Convertible Notes will have a maturity of three years and nine months after Closing and interest will be payable in cash or compound as additional principal outstanding.

The Perceptive PIPE Investor also purchased a $7.0 million convertible promissory note of Adagio (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note”) pursuant to a note purchase agreement, dated February 13, 2024, by and among the Perceptive PIPE Investor, the Company and ListCo (the “2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement”). As of the issuance date, the Company has received the principal of $7.0 million. On the closing date, pursuant to the terms of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Note Subscription Agreement, the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will convert into New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, and the Perceptive PIPE Investor will subscribe for $5.5 million of New Adagio Convertible Notes and 937,500 Convert Warrants, on the same terms as the Convert Investors executing the Convertible Security Subscription Agreement (such commitment by the Perceptive PIPE Investor to purchase New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants, the “Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment,” and the conversion of the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and purchase of New Adagio Convertible Notes and Convert Warrants pursuant to the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment as part of the Base Convert Financing, the “Convertible Security Financing”). Subject to ARYA and New Adagio receiving any new financing or commitment for financing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, before the closing date, the Perceptive PIPE Investor may request that on the closing date the 2024 Bridge Financing Note is repaid, the Perceptive Convertible Note Commitment is reduced or a combination of both. The New Adagio Convertible Notes, the Convert Warrants or any shares of New Adagio common stock issuable in connection with the Convertible Security Financing have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be issued in reliance upon the exemption provided in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. ListCo will grant the Perceptive PIPE Investor and the Convert Investors certain registration rights in connection with the Convertible Security Financing. The Convertible Security Financing is contingent upon, among other things, the substantially concurrent closing of the Business Combination.

right to receive, the applicable portion of the ARYA Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(vii) unless and until such Dissenting ARYA Shareholder effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights (through failure to perfect such dissenters’ rights or otherwise) under the Cayman Companies Law. From and after the ARYA Merger Effective Time, (A) the Dissenting ARYA Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and extinguished by virtue of the ARYA Merger and shall cease to exist and (B) the Dissenting ARYA Shareholders shall be entitled only to such rights as may be granted to them under Section 238 of the Cayman Companies Law and shall not be entitled to exercise any of the voting rights or other rights of a shareholder of the First Surviving Company or any of its Affiliates (including HoldCo); provided, however, that if any Dissenting ARYA Shareholder effectively withdraws or loses such dissenters’ rights (through failure to perfect such dissenters’ rights or otherwise) under the Cayman Companies Law, then the ARYA Shares held by such Dissenting ARYA Shareholder (1) shall no longer be deemed to be Dissenting ARYA Shares and (2) shall be treated as if they had been converted automatically at the ARYA Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the ARYA Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(vii) upon delivery of a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other documents or agreements required by the Letter of Transmittal) and the surrender of the applicable documents and other deliverables described in Section 2.5(e).

Such policy shall provide coverage on terms (with respect to coverage and amount) that are substantially the same as (and no less favorable in the aggregate to the Persons covered thereby) the coverage provided under the Group Companies’ directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement (provided that any limitations or exclusions in, or provided under, the existing policies relating to a business combination transaction shall be removed therefrom and such

Ann. A-65

policies shall, for the avoidance of doubt, be effective from and after the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby); provided that the Group Companies or any of their respective Affiliates shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by the Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement and, in such event, the Group Companies shall purchase the maximum coverage available for Three Hundred percent (300%) of the most recent annual premium paid by the Group Companies prior to the date of this Agreement.

(d) If HoldCo or any of its successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any Person, then in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors or assigns of HoldCo shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.17.

Ann. A-77

Section 8.17 Remedies. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The Parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not perform their respective obligations under the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages and this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Section 8.18 Trust Account Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of ARYA, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2021 (the “Prospectus”). The Company acknowledges and agrees and understands that ARYA has established a trust account (the “Trust Account”) containing the proceeds of its initial public offering (the “IPO”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of ARYA’s public shareholders (including overallotment shares acquired by ARYA’s underwriters, the “Public Shareholders”), and ARYA may disburse monies from the Trust Account only in the express circumstances described in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of ARYA entering into this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its Representatives that, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Company, nor any of its Representatives does now or shall at any time hereafter have any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies in the Trust Account or distributions therefrom, or make any claim against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Agreement or any proposed or actual business relationship between ARYA or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and, the Company, or any of its Representatives, on the other hand, or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (any and all such claims are collectively referred to hereafter as the “Trust Account Released Claims”). The Company, on its own behalf and on behalf of its Representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any Trust Account Released Claims that it or any of its Representatives may have against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) now or in the future as a result of, or arising out of, any negotiations, or Contracts with ARYA or its Representatives and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including for an alleged breach of any agreement with ARYA or its Affiliates).

TAKE NOTICE that at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of the Company held at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on 27 February 2024, at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP located at 601 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York 10022, and via a virtual meeting, the following special resolution was duly passed:

RESOLVED, as a special resolution that:

a)
Article 12.2 of ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 12.2:

“Class B Shares shall convert into Class A Shares as follows:

(a)
Class B Shares may be converted into Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis: at any time and from time to time prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination at the option of the holders thereof.

(b)
On the first business day following the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, the issued Class B Shares shall automatically be converted into such number of Class A Shares as is equal, in the aggregate, on an as-converted basis, to 20% of the sum of:

(i)
the total number of Shares issued and outstanding (excluding the Private Placement Shares) upon completion of the IPO (including pursuant to the Over-Allotment Option), plus

(ii)
the sum of (A) the total number of Class A Shares issued or deemed issued, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of the initial Business Combination, excluding any Class A Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Shares issued, deemed issued, or to be issued, to any seller in the initial Business Combination and any Private Placement Shares issued to the Sponsor, members of the Company’s management team or their affiliates upon conversion of working capital loans, if any, minus (B) the total number of Public Shares repurchased pursuant to the IPO Redemption.”

b)
Article 38.2 of ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 38.2:

“Prior to the consummation of any Business Combination, the Company shall either:

(a)
submit such Business Combination to its Members for approval; or

(b)
provide Members with the opportunity to have their Shares repurchased by means of a tender offer (a “Tender Offer”) for a per-Share repurchase price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of such Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares in issue.”

c)
Article 38.6 of ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 38.6:

“Any Member holding Public Shares who is not a Founder, officer or director may, contemporaneously with any vote on a Business Combination, elect to have their Public Shares redeemed for cash (the “IPO Redemption”), provided that no such Member acting together with any affiliate of his or any other person with whom he is acting in concert or as a partnership, syndicate, or other group for the purposes of acquiring, holding, or

Ann. B-1

disposing of Shares may exercise this redemption right with respect to more than 15% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior consent, and provided further that any holder that holds Public Shares beneficially through a nominee must identify itself to the Company in connection with any redemption election in order to validly redeem such Public Shares. In connection with any vote held to approve a proposed Business Combination, holders of Public Shares seeking to exercise their redemption rights will be required to either tender their certificates (if any) to the Company’s transfer agent or to deliver their shares to the transfer agent electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, at the holder’s option, in each case up to two business days prior to the initially scheduled vote on the proposal to approve a Business Combination. If so demanded, the Company shall pay any such redeeming Member, regardless of whether he is voting for or against such proposed Business Combination or abstains from voting, a per-Share redemption price payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, including interest earned on the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay its income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares in issue (such redemption price being referred to herein as the “Redemption Price”).”

d)
Article 38.8 of ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 38.8:

“In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination by April 2, 2024 (or March 2, 2025, if applicable under the provisions of this Article 38.8), or such later time as the Members of the Company may approve in accordance with the Articles (in any case, such date being referred to as the “Termination Date”), the Company shall: (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up; (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the 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 on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares in issue, which redemption will completely extinguish public Members’ rights as Members (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining Members and the directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in the case of sub-articles (ii) and (iii), to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law. If the Company shall wind up for any other reason prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, follow the foregoing procedures set out in this Article 38.8 with respect to the liquidation of the Trust Account, subject to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and in all cases subject to the other requirements of applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of the Articles in the event that the Company has not consummated a Business Combination within thirty-seven months from the closing of the IPO, the Company may, without another shareholder vote, elect to extend the date to consummate the Business Combination on a monthly basis up to eleven times by an additional one month each time after the thirty-seventh month from the closing of the IPO, by resolution of the directors, if requested by the Sponsor in writing, and upon five days’ advance notice prior to the applicable Termination Date, until forty-eight months from the closing of the IPO, provided that the Sponsor (or one or more of its affiliates, members or third-party designees) (the “Lender”) will deposit US$111,000 into the Trust Account within five (5) business days of the applicable Termination Date for each such monthly extension, for an aggregate deposit of up to US$1,332,000 (including a US$111,000 deposit in connection with the extension to April 2, 2024 and assuming all eleven additional monthly extensions thereafter are exercised), in exchange for a non-interest bearing, unsecured convertible promissory note issued by the Company to the Lender. If the Company completes a Business Combination, it will, at the option of the Lender, repay the amounts loaned under the promissory note or convert a portion or all of the amounts loaned under such promissory note into Class A Shares, which shall be identical to the Private Placement Shares issued to the Sponsor in a private placement simultaneously with the closing of the IPO. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination by the applicable Termination Date, such promissory note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.”

Ann. B-2

e)
Article 38.9 of ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 38.9:

“In the event that any amendment is made to these Articles:

(a)
that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to provide holders of Public Shares the right to:

(i)
have their shares redeemed or repurchased in connection with a Business Combination pursuant to Articles 38.2(b) or 38.6; or

(ii)
redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company has not consummated an initial Business Combination within thirty-seven months (or up to forty-eight months, if applicable under the provisions of Article 38.8) after the date of the closing of the IPO pursuant to Article 38.8; or

(b)
with respect to any other provision relating to the rights of holders of Public Shares, each holder of Public Shares who is not a Founder, officer or director shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval of any such amendment (an Amendment Redemption) at a per-Share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account not previously released to the Company to pay income taxes, if any, divided by the number of the then-outstanding Public Shares in issue.”

f)
Article 38.11 of ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following new Article 38.11:

“Except in connection with the conversion of Class B Shares into Class A Shares pursuant to the Class B Share Conversion described at Article 12 hereof where the holders of such Shares have waived any right to receive funds from the Trust Account, after the issue of Public Shares, and prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the directors shall not issue additional Shares or any other securities that would entitle the holders thereof to:

(a)
receive funds from the Trust Account; or

(b)
vote as a class with the Public Shares:

(i)
on a Business Combination or on any other proposal presented to Members prior to or in connection with the completion of a Business Combination; or

(ii)
to approve an amendment to these Articles to:

(A)
extend the time the Company has to consummate a Business Combination beyond forty-eight months from the closing of IPO; or

(B)
amend the foregoing provisions of these Articles.”

ARTICLE IV

CAPITAL STOCK

Section 1. This Company is authorized to issue two classes of stock, to be designated, respectively, Common Stock and Preferred Stock. The total number of shares of stock that the Company shall have authority to issue is 230,000,000 shares, of which 210,000,000 shares are Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and 20,000,000 shares are Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”).

Section 2. Each share of Common Stock outstanding as of the applicable record date shall entitle the holder thereof to one (1) vote on any matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

Section 3. The Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series pursuant to a resolution or resolutions providing for such issue duly adopted by the Board of Directors (authority to do so being hereby expressly vested in the Board of Directors). The Board of Directors is further authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by law, to fix by resolution or resolutions the designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of any series of Preferred Stock, including, without limitation, authority to fix by resolution or resolutions the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, and liquidation preferences of any such series, and the number of shares constituting any such series and the designation thereof, or any of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the resolution or resolutions providing for the establishment of any series of Preferred Stock may, to the extent permitted by law, provide that such series shall be

Ann. C-1

superior to, rank equally with or be junior to the Preferred Stock of any other series. The Board of Directors is further authorized to increase (but not above the total number of authorized shares of the class) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of any such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series, subject to the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof stated in this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the resolution of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

Section 4. Except as otherwise required by law or provided in this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Common Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any amendment to this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together as a class with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon by law or pursuant to this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designation filed with respect to any series of Preferred Stock).

ARTICLE V

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 1. Subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, the number of directors that constitutes the entire Board of Directors of the Company shall be fixed only by resolution of the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board. For the purposes of this Certificate of Incorporation, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors of the Company shall be elected to hold office until the expiration of the term for which they are elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal; except that if any such meeting shall not be so held, such election shall take place at a stockholders’ meeting called and held in accordance with the DGCL.

Section 2. The Board of Directors of the Company (other than any who may be elected by holders of Preferred Stock under specified circumstances) shall initially consist of up to seven (7) directors, which shall be divided into three (3) classes, with directors serving staggered three-year terms, designated Class I, II and III, with Class I consisting of two (2) directors whose initial terms expire at the first annual meeting of the stockholders of HoldCo following the date hereof, Class II consisting of two (2) directors whose initial terms expire at the second annual meeting of the stockholders of HoldCo following the date hereof, and Class III consisting of up to three (3) directors whose initial terms expire at the third annual meeting of the stockholders of HoldCo following the date hereof. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors shall be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting. If the number of directors is changed, any newly created directorships or decrease in directorships shall be so apportioned hereafter among the classes as to make all classes as nearly equal in number as is practicable; provided that no decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director. Directors already in office at the time such classification becomes effective and who will remain in office shall be assigned to each class in accordance with a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors.

Section 3. The business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. In addition to the powers and authority expressly conferred upon them by statute or by this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaws”), the directors are hereby empowered to exercise all such powers and do all such acts and things as may be exercised or done by the Company.

Ann. C-2

Section 4. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by statute, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws. The affirmative vote of at least a majority of the Whole Board shall be required in order for the Board of Directors to adopt, amend, alter or repeal the Bylaws. The Bylaws may also be adopted, amended, altered or repealed by the stockholders of the Company.Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws may not be amended, altered or repealed except in accordance with the provisions of the Bylaws relating to amendments to the Bylaws. No Bylaw hereafter legally adopted, amended, altered or repealed shall invalidate any prior act of the directors or officers of the Company that would have been valid if such Bylaw had not been adopted, amended, altered or repealed.

Section 5. From and after the effectiveness of this Certificate of Incorporation, only for so long as the Board of Directors is classified and subject to the rights of holders of Preferred Stock, any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company entitled to vote in the election of directors.

Section 6. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed by or pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV hereof in relation to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock to elect directors under specified circumstances or except as otherwise provided by resolution of a majority of the Whole Board, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the number of directors, created in accordance with the Bylaws, and any vacancies on the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, disqualification, removal or other cause shall be filled only by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors, or by a sole remaining director, and not by the stockholders. A person so elected by the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Section 7. The election of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.

Section 8. No stockholder will be permitted to cumulate votes at any election of directors.

ARTICLE VI

Section 3. The Company shall have the power to indemnify, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any officer, employee or agent of the Company who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any Proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any such Proceeding.

Section 4. Neither any amendment, repeal nor elimination of any Section of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws inconsistent with this Article VII, shall eliminate or reduce the effect of this Article VII in respect of any matter occurring, or any Proceeding accruing or arising (or that, but for this Article VII, would accrue or arise) prior to such amendment, repeal, elimination or adoption of an inconsistent provision.

ARTICLE VIII

Section 1. Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Chancery Court”) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for any stockholder (including a beneficial owner) to bring (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer or other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company to the Company or to the Company’s stockholders, (iii) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company, its current or former directors, officers, or employees, agents or stockholders arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or this Amended & Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws, or (iv) any action, suit or proceeding asserting a claim against the Company, its current or former directors, officers, or employees, agents or stockholders governed by the internal affairs doctrine. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of this Section 1 of this Article VIII is filed in a court other than the Chancery Court (a “Foreign Action”) by any stockholder (including any beneficial owner), to the fullest extent permitted by law, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (a) the personal jurisdiction of the Chancery Court in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce this Section 1 of this Article VIII; and (b) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such stockholder.

Section 2. The exclusive forum provision set forth in Section 1 above of this Article VIII does not apply to, and does not preclude or contract the scope of, either (i) exclusive federal jurisdiction pursuant to Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), for claims seeking to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, or any other claim for which the U.S. federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction, or (ii) concurrent jurisdiction under Section 22 of the Securities Act

BYLAWS OF ADAGIO MEDICAL, INC.

ARTICLE I – CORPORATE OFFICES

1.1 Registered Office.

The address of the registered office of Adagio Medical, Inc. (the “Company”) in the State of Delaware, and the name of its registered agent at such address, shall be fixed in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time (the “Certificate of Incorporation”).

1.2 Other Offices.

The Company may at any time establish other offices at any place or places, within or outside of the State of Delaware, as the board of directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) may from time to time establish or as the business of the Company may require.

ARTICLE II – MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 Place of Meetings.

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at a place, if any, within or outside the State of Delaware, determined by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the Company’s principal executive offices.

2.2 Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held each year. The Board of Directors shall designate the date and time of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business, brought in accordance with Section 2.4 of these bylaws, may be transacted. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled annual meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders. For the purposes of these bylaws, the term “Whole Board” shall mean the total number of authorized directorships whether or not there exist any vacancies or other unfilled seats in previously authorized directorships.

2.3 Special Meeting.

(a) A special meeting of the stockholders, other than as required by statute, may be called at any time by (i) the Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board, (ii) the chairperson of the Board of Directors, (iii) the chief executive officer or (iv) the president, but a special meeting may not be called by any other person or persons and any power of stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is specifically denied. The Board of Directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the Whole Board may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.

(b) The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of a majority of the Whole Board, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, the chief executive officer or the president. Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(b) shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the Board of Directors may be held.

2.4 Advance Notice Procedures.

(a) Annual Meetings of Stockholders.

(i) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors or the proposal of other business to be transacted by the stockholders at an annual meeting of stockholders may be made only (1) pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto); (2) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (3) as may be provided in the certificate of designations for any class or series of preferred stock; or (4) by any stockholder of the Company who (A) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the

Ann. D-4

notice contemplated by Section 2.4(a)(ii); (B) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the annual meeting; (C) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting; (D) is a stockholder of record at the time of the annual meeting; and (E) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(a).

(ii) For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting of stockholders by a stockholder pursuant to clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i), the stockholder must have given timely notice in writing to the secretary and any such nomination or proposed business must constitute a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the ¹²0th day and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 90th day prior to the day of the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders. However, if no annual meeting of stockholders was held in the preceding year, or if the date of the applicable annual meeting has been changed by more than 25 days from the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, then to be timely such notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the day of the annual meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was first made by the Company. In no event will the adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of any annual meeting, or any announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. If the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least ten (10) days before the last day that a stockholder may deliver a notice of nomination pursuant to the foregoing provisions, then a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 2.4(a)(ii) will also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it is received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which such public announcement is first made. “Public announcement” means disclosure in a press release reported by a national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended and inclusive of rules and regulations thereunder, the “1934 Act”).

(iii) A stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth:

(1) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

(A) such person’s name, age, business address, residence address and principal occupation or employment; the class and number of shares of the Company that are held of record or are beneficially owned by such person and a description of any Derivative Instruments (defined below) held or beneficially owned thereby or of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares), the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, or to manage the risk or benefit of share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of such person; and all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the contested election of directors, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to the Section 14 of the 1934 Act;

(B) such person’s written consent to being named in such stockholder’s proxy statement as a nominee of such stockholder and to serving as a director of the Company if elected;

Ann. D-5

(D) a description of any other material relationships between such person and such person’s respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the one hand, and such stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is made, and their respective affiliates and associates, or others acting in concert with them, on the other hand;

(2) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting:

(A) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting;

(3) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made:

(C) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding between such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, and any other person or persons (including, in each case, their names) in connection with the proposal of such nomination or other business;

(D) a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding (including, regardless of the form of settlement, any derivative, long or short positions, profit interests, forwards, futures, swaps, options, warrants, convertible securities, stock appreciation or similar rights, hedging transactions and borrowed or loaned shares) that has been entered into by or on behalf of such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, with respect to the Company’s securities (any of the foregoing, a “Derivative Instrument”), or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding that has been made the effect or intent of which is to create or mitigate loss to, manage risk or benefit of share price changes for or increase or decrease the voting power of such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, with respect to the Company’s securities;

Ann. D-6

(G) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with, them is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of the Company’s securities or Derivative Instruments, including, without limitation, any such interests held by members of the immediate family of such persons sharing the same household;

(I) any direct or indirect interest of such stockholder, such beneficial owner or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, in any contract with the Company, any affiliate of the Company or any principal competitor of the Company (in each case, including any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement);

(L) any other information relating to such stockholder, such beneficial owner, or their respective affiliates or associates or others acting in concert with them, or director nominee or proposed business that, in each case, would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filing required to be made in connection with the solicitation of proxies in support of such nominee (in a contested election of directors) or proposal pursuant to Section 14 of the 1934 Act; and

(M) such other information relating to any proposed item of business as the Company may reasonably require to determine whether such proposed item of business is a proper matter for stockholder action.

(iv) In addition to the requirements of this Section 2.4, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice (and any additional information submitted to the Company in connection therewith) must further be updated and supplemented (1) if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice is true and correct as of the record date(s) for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof and (2) to provide any additional information that the Company may reasonably request. Such update and supplement or additional information, if applicable, must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company, in the case of a request for additional information, promptly following a request therefor, which response must be delivered not later than such reasonable time as is specified in any such request from the Company or, in the case of any other update or supplement of any information, not later than five (5) business days after the record date(s) for the meeting (in the case of any update and supplement required to be made as of the record date(s)), and not later than eight (8) business days prior to the date for the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement thereof). The failure to timely provide such update, supplement or additional information shall result in the nomination or proposal no longer being eligible for consideration at the meeting.

(b) Special Meetings of Stockholders. Except to the extent required by the DGCL, and subject to Section 2.3(a), special meetings of stockholders may be called only in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and these bylaws. Only such business will be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as has been brought before the special meeting pursuant to the Company’s notice of meeting. If the

Ann. D-7

election of directors is included as business to be brought before a special meeting in the Company’s notice of meeting, then nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at such special meeting may be made by any stockholder who (i) is a stockholder of record at the time of giving of the notice contemplated by this Section 2.4(b); (ii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of the special meeting; (iii) is a stockholder of record on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the special meeting; (iv) is a stockholder of record at the time of the special meeting; and (v) complies with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(b). For nominations to be properly brought by a stockholder before a special meeting pursuant to this Section 2.4(b), the stockholder’s notice must be received by the secretary at the principal executive offices of the Company no earlier than 8:00 a.m., local time, on the 120th day prior to the day of the special meeting and no later than 5:00 p.m., local time, on the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the special meeting was first made. In no event will any adjournment, rescheduling or postponement of a special meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a stockholder’s notice. A stockholder’s notice to the Secretary must comply with the applicable notice requirements of Section 2.4(a)(iii).

(c) Other Requirements.

(i) To be eligible to be a nominee by any stockholder for election as a director of the Company, the proposed nominee must provide to the secretary, in accordance with the applicable time periods prescribed for delivery of notice under Section 2.4(a)(ii) or Section 2.4(b):

(1) a signed and completed written questionnaire (in the form provided by the secretary at the written request of the nominating stockholder, which form will be provided by the secretary within ten (10) days of receiving such request) containing information regarding such nominee’s background and qualifications and such other information as may reasonably be required by the Company to determine the eligibility of such nominee to serve as a director of the Company or to serve as an independent director of the Company;

(2) a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any voting agreement, arrangement, commitment, assurance or understanding with any person or entity as to how such nominee, if elected as a director, will vote on any issue;

(3) a written representation and undertaking that, unless previously disclosed to the Company, such nominee is not, and will not become, a party to any Third-Party Compensation Arrangement;

(4) a written representation and undertaking that, if elected as a director, such nominee would be in compliance, and will continue to comply, with the Company’s corporate governance guidelines as disclosed on the Company’s website, as amended from time to time; and

(5) a written representation and undertaking that such nominee, if elected, intends to serve a full term on the Board of Directors.

(ii) At the request of the Board of Directors, any person nominated by the Board of Directors for election as a director must furnish to the secretary the information that is required to be set forth in a stockholder’s notice of nomination that pertains to such nominee.

(iii) No person will be eligible to be nominated by a stockholder for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4. No business proposed by a stockholder will be conducted at a stockholder meeting except in accordance with this Section 2.4.

(iv) The chairperson of the applicable meeting of stockholders will, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that a nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures prescribed by these bylaws or that business was not properly brought before the meeting. If the chairperson of the meeting should so determine, then the chairperson of the meeting will so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination will be disregarded or such business will not be transacted, as the case may be.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, unless otherwise required by law, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear in person at the meeting to present a nomination or other proposed business, such nomination will be disregarded or such proposed

Ann. D-8

business will not be transacted, as the case may be, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such nomination or business may have been received by the Company and counted for purposes of determining a quorum. For purposes of this Section 2.4, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting, and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting.

(vi) Without limiting this Section 2.4, a stockholder must also comply with all applicable requirements of the 1934 Act with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.4, it being understood that (1) any references in these bylaws to the 1934 Act are not intended to, and will not, limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to this Section 2.4; and (2) compliance with clause (4) of Section 2.4(a)(i) and with Section 2.4(b) are the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business (other than as provided in Section 2.4(c)(vii)).

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, the notice requirements set forth in these bylaws with respect to the proposal of any business pursuant to this Section 2.4 will be deemed to be satisfied by a stockholder if (1) such stockholder has submitted a proposal to the Company in compliance with Rule 14a-8 under the 1934 Act; and (2) such stockholder’s proposal has been included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Company to solicit proxies for the meeting of stockholders. Subject to Rule 14a-8 and other applicable rules and regulations under the 1934 Act, nothing in these bylaws will be construed to permit any stockholder, or give any stockholder the right, to include or have disseminated or described in the Company’s proxy statement any nomination of a director or any other business proposal.

2.5 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a notice of the meeting shall be given which shall state the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the voting power of the capital stock of the Company issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

If, however, such quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (a) the chairperson of the meeting, or (b) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the original meeting.

2.7 Adjourned Meeting; Notice.

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Company may transact any business which

Ann. D-9

might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.11 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.8 Conduct of Business.

The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business and discussion as seem to the chairperson in order. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the Board of Directors; in the absence of such designation, the chairperson of the Board of Directors, if any, or the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson of the Board of Directors) or the president (in the absence of the chairperson of the Board of Directors and the chief executive officer), or in their absence any other executive officer of the Company, shall serve as chairperson of the stockholder meeting. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date or time, whether or not a quorum is present.

2.9 Voting.

(a) The stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.11 of these bylaws, subject to Section 217 (relating to voting rights of fiduciaries, pledgors and joint owners of stock) and Section 218 (relating to voting trusts and other voting agreements) of the DGCL.

(b) Except as may be otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation, these bylaws or the rules of the stock exchange on which the securities of the Company are listed.

2.10 Stockholder Action By Written Consent Without A Meeting.

Subject to the rights of holders of preferred stock of the Company, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Company must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

2.11 Record Dates.

(a) In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

(b) If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

Ann. D-10

(c) A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.

(d) In order that the Company may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.12 Proxies.

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or such stockholder’s authorized officer, director, employee or agent, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by a document or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The authorization of a person to act as a proxy may be documented, signed and delivered in accordance with Section 116 of the DGCL; provided that such authorization shall set forth, or be delivered with information enabling the Company to determine, the identity of the stockholder granting such authorization. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL.

2.13 List of Stockholders Entitled To Vote.

The Company shall prepare, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than ten (10) days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The Company shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the Company’s principal place of business. In the event that the Company determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Company may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Company. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then such list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

2.14 Inspectors of Election.

Before any meeting of stockholders, the Company shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment and make a written report thereof. The Company may designate one (1) or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If any person appointed as inspector or any alternate fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting shall appoint a person to fill that vacancy. Such inspectors shall:

(a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each;

(b) determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots;

(c) count all votes and ballots;

Ann. D-11

(d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspector(s); and

(e) certify its or their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting, and its or their count of all votes and ballots.

Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of the duties of inspector, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspection with strict impartiality and according to the best of such inspector’s ability. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. The inspectors of election may appoint such persons to assist them in performing their duties as they determine. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Company, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

2.15 Virtual Meeting.

The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that stockholder meetings shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with Section 211(a)(2) of the DGCL. If authorized by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, and subject to such guidelines and procedures as the Board of Directors may adopt, stockholders and proxy holders not physically present at a meeting of stockholders may, by means of remote communication (a) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and (b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication, provided that (i) the Company shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxy holder; (ii) the Company shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxy holders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and (iii) if any stockholder or proxy holder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Company.

2.16 Delivery to the Company.

Whenever this Article II requires one or more persons (including a record or beneficial owner of stock) to deliver a document or information to the Company or any officer, employee or agent thereof (including any notice, request, questionnaire, revocation, representation or other document or agreement), unless the Company otherwise provides, such document or information shall be in writing exclusively (and not in an electronic transmission) and shall be delivered exclusively by hand (including, without limitation, overnight courier service) or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and the Company shall not be required to accept delivery of any document not in such written form or so delivered.

3.3 Election, Qualification and Term of Office of Directors.

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the Board of Directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

If the notice is (i) delivered personally by hand, by courier or by telephone, (ii) sent by facsimile, (iii) sent by electronic mail or (iv) otherwise given by electronic transmission, it shall be delivered, sent or otherwise directed to each director, as applicable, at least twenty-four (24) hours before the time of the holding of the meeting.

The affirmative vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

If the Certificate of Incorporation provides that one (1) or more directors shall have more or less than one (1) vote per director on any matter, except as may otherwise be expressly provided herein or therein and denoted with the phrase “notwithstanding the final paragraph of Section 3.8 of the bylaws” or language to similar effect, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of the directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

3.9 Action By Unanimous Written Consent Without A Meeting.

Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, (i) any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission; and (ii) a consent may be documented, signed and delivered in any manner permitted by Section 116 of the DGCL. Any person (whether or not then a director) may provide, whether through instruction to an agent or otherwise, that a consent to action will be effective at a future time (including a time determined upon the happening of an event), no later than sixty (60) days after such instruction is given or such provision is made and such consent shall be deemed to have been given for purposes of this Section 3.9 at such effective time so long as such person is then a director and did not revoke the consent prior to such time. Any such consent shall be revocable prior to its becoming effective. After an action is taken, the consent or consents relating thereto shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors, or the committee or subcommittee thereof, as applicable, and such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

3.11 Removal of Directors.

Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed from office by stockholders of the Company in the manner specified in the Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law.

The Board of Directors may appoint a chairperson of the Board of Directors from its members, who shall have all the customary duties and responsibilities of such office.

If the chairperson of the Board of Directors, and the vice chairperson of the Board of Directors, if one is appointed, are unable to preside or are absent, the Board of Directors shall designate an alternate representative to preside over a meeting of the Board of Directors.

In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board of Directors or in these bylaws, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and may authorize the seal of the Company to be affixed to all papers that may require it; but no such committee shall have the power or authority to (a) approve or adopt, or recommend to the stockholders, any action or matter (other than the election or removal of directors) expressly required by the DGCL to be submitted to stockholders for approval, or (b) adopt, amend or repeal any bylaw of the Company.

The Company may issue a new certificate of stock or uncertificated shares in the place of any certificate theretofore issued by it, alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, and the Company may require the owner of the lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, or such owner’s legal representative, to give the Company a bond sufficient to indemnify it against any claim that may be made against it on account of the alleged loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate or uncertificated shares.

6.3 Dividends.

The Board of Directors, subject to any restrictions contained in either (i) the DGCL or (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of the Company’s capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the Company’s capital stock.

The Board of Directors may set apart out of any of the funds of the Company available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the Company, and meeting contingencies.

6.4 Transfer of Stock.

Shares of the Company shall be transferable in the manner prescribed by law and in these bylaws. Shares of stock of the Company shall be transferred on the books of the Company only by the holder of record thereof or by such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the Company of any certificate or certificates representing such shares endorsed by the appropriate Person or Persons (if such shares are represented by certificates) or by delivery of duly executed instructions (if such shares are uncertificated), with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement or execution, transfer, authorization and other matters as the Company may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. No transfer of stock shall be valid as against the Company for any purpose until it shall have been entered in the stock records of the Company by an entry showing the names of the Persons from and to whom it was transferred.

6.5 Stock Transfer Agreements.

The Company shall have power to enter into and perform any agreement with any number of stockholders of any one or more classes of stock of the Company to restrict the transfer of shares of stock of the Company of any one or more classes owned by such stockholders in any manner not prohibited by the DGCL.

6.6 Registered Stockholders.

The Company:

(a) shall be entitled to recognize the exclusive right of a person registered on its books as the owner of shares to receive dividends, subject to any restrictions included in the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation, and notices and to vote as such owner; and

Ann. D-17

(b) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE VII – MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER

7.1 Notice of Stockholders’ Meetings.

Notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given in the manner set forth in the DGCL.

7.2 Notice To Stockholders Sharing an Address.

Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the Company under the provisions of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the Company. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the Company, within sixty (60) days of having been given written notice by the Company of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice. This Section 7.2 shall not apply to Sections 164, 296, 311, 312 or 324 of the DGCL.

7.3 Notice To Person With Whom Communication Is Unlawful.

Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the Company is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

7.4 Waiver of Notice.

Whenever notice is required to be given under any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII – INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnification of Directors and Officers In Third Party Proceedings.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction,

Ann. D-18

or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

8.2 Indemnification of Directors and Officers In Actions By Or In The Right of The Company.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company, or is or was a director or officer of the Company serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

8.3 Successful Defense.

To the extent that a present or former director or officer (for purposes of this Section 8.3 only, as such term is defined in Section 145(c)(1) of the DGCL) of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith. The Company may indemnify any other person who is not a present or former director or officer of the Company against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person to the extent he or she has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein.

8.4 Indemnification of Others.

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Company shall have power to indemnify its employees and agents, or any other persons, to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law. The Board of Directors shall have the power to delegate to any person or persons identified in subsections (1) through (4) of Section 145(d) of the DGCL the determination of whether employees or agents shall be indemnified.

8.5 Advanced Payment of Expenses.

(a) Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by an officer or director of the Company in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the Company or by persons serving at the request of the Company as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Company deems appropriate. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these bylaws but shall apply to any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) referenced in Section 8.6(b) or Section 8.6(c) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise determined pursuant to Section 8.8, no advance shall be made by the Company to an officer of the Company (except by reason of the fact that such officer is or was a director of the Company, in which event this paragraph shall not apply) in any Proceeding if a determination is reasonably and promptly made (a) by a vote of the directors who are not parties to such Proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (b) by a committee of such directors designated by the vote of the majority of such

Ann. D-19

directors, even though less than a quorum, or (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, that facts known to the decision-making party at the time such determination is made demonstrate clearly and convincingly that such person acted in bad faith or in a manner that such person did not believe to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company.

8.6 Limitation On Indemnification.

Subject to the requirements in Section 8.3 and the DGCL, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

(a) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

(b) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(c) for any reimbursement of the Company by such person of any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation or of any profits realized by such person from the sale of securities of the Company, as required in each case under the 1934 Act (including any such reimbursements that arise from an accounting restatement of the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), or the payment to the Company of profits arising from the purchase and sale by such person of securities in violation of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act), if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(d) initiated by such person, including any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding) initiated by such person against the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board of Directors authorized the Proceeding (or the relevant part of the Proceeding) prior to its initiation, (ii) the Company provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Company under applicable law, (iii) otherwise required to be made under Section 8.7 or (iv) otherwise required by applicable law; or

(e) if prohibited by applicable law; provided, however, that if any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

8.7 Determination; Claim.

If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VIII is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after receipt by the Company of the written request therefor, the claimant shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of expenses. The Company shall indemnify such person against any and all expenses that are actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of expenses from the Company under this Article VIII to the extent such person is successful in such action, and to the extent not prohibited by law. In any such suit, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving that the claimant is not entitled to the requested indemnification or advancement of expenses.

8.8 Non-Exclusivity of Rights.

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the Certificate of Incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another

8.10 Survival.

The rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses conferred by this Article VIII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

8.11 Effect of Repeal Or Modification.

A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to or repeal or elimination of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

8.12 Certain Definitions.

For purposes of this Article VIII, references to the “Company” shall include, in addition to the resulting company, any constituent company (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent company, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VIII with respect to the resulting or surviving company as such person would have with respect to such constituent company if its separate existence had continued. For purposes of this Article VIII, references to “other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to “fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to “serving at the request of the Company” shall include any service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner “not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Article VIII.

ARTICLE IX – GENERAL MATTERS

9.1 Execution of Corporate Contracts and Instruments.

Except as otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the Board of Directors may authorize any officer or officers, or agent or agents, to enter into any contract or execute any document or instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Company; such authority may be general or confined to specific instances. Unless so authorized or ratified by the Board of Directors or within the agency power of an officer, no officer, agent or employee shall have any power or authority to bind the Company by any contract or engagement or to pledge its credit or to render it liable for any purpose or for any amount.

9.2 Fiscal Year.

The fiscal year of the Company shall be fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors and may be changed by the Board of Directors.

Ann. D-21

9.3 Seal.

The Company may adopt a corporate seal, which shall be adopted and which may be altered by the Board of Directors. The Company may use the corporate seal by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any other manner reproduced.

9.4 Construction; Definitions.

Unless the context requires otherwise, the general provisions, rules of construction, and definitions in the DGCL shall govern the construction of these bylaws. Without limiting the generality of this provision, the singular number includes the plural, the plural number includes the singular, and the term “person” includes a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and a natural person. Any reference in these bylaws to a section of the DGCL shall be deemed to refer to such section as amended from time to time and any successor provisions thereto.

9.5 Forum Selection.

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another State court in Delaware or the federal district court for the District of Delaware) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (b) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, stockholder, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, (c) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws (as either may be amended from time to time) or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above, any claim as to which such court determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of such court (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of such court within ten (10) days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than such court or for which such court does not have subject matter jurisdiction.

Unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any security of the Company shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Section 9.5.

The Board of Directors shall also have the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws; provided, however, that a bylaw amendment adopted by stockholders which specifies the votes that shall be necessary for the election of directors shall not be further amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.

(a)
evidence;

(b)
indemnity;

payment of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in investigating the evidence; and

(d)
payment of a reasonable fee, if any, for issuing a replacement share certificate

4
Lien on Shares

Nature and scope of lien

4.1
The Company has a first and paramount lien on all Shares (whether Fully Paid or not) registered in the name of a Member (whether solely or jointly with others). The lien is for all moneys payable to the Company by the Member or the Member’s estate:

(a)
either alone or jointly with any other person, whether or not that other person is a Member; and

(b)
whether or not those moneys are presently payable.

4.2
At any time the directors may declare any Share to be wholly or partly exempt from the provisions of this Article.

Company may sell Shares to satisfy lien

4.3
The Company may sell any Shares over which it has a lien if all of the following conditions are met:

(a)
the sum in respect of which the lien exists is presently payable;

(b)
the Company gives notice to the Member holding the Share (or to the person entitled to it in consequence of the death or bankruptcy of that Member) demanding payment and stating that if the notice is not complied with the Shares may be sold; and

(c)
that sum is not paid within 14 Clear Days after that notice is deemed to be given under these Articles.

4.4
The Shares may be sold in such manner as the directors determine.

4.5
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the directors shall incur no personal liability to the Member concerned in respect of the sale.

Authority to execute instrument of transfer

4.6
To give effect to a sale, the directors may authorise any person to execute an instrument of transfer of the Shares sold to, or in accordance with the directions of, the purchaser. The title of the transferee of the Shares shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings in respect of the sale.

Ann. E-19

Consequences of sale of Shares to satisfy lien

4.7
On sale pursuant to the preceding Articles:

(a)
the name of the Member concerned shall be removed from the register of members as the holder of those Shares; and

(b)
that person shall deliver to the Company for cancellation the certificate for those Shares.

Despite this, that person shall remain liable to the Company for all monies which, at the date of sale, were presently payable by him to the Company in respect of those Shares. That person shall also be liable to pay interest on those monies from the date of sale until payment at the rate at which interest was payable before that sale or, failing that, at the Default Rate. The directors may waive payment wholly or in part or enforce payment without any allowance for the value of the Shares at the time of sale or for any consideration received on their disposal.

Application of proceeds of sale

4.8
The net proceeds of the sale, after payment of the costs, shall be applied in payment of so much of the sum for which the lien exists as is presently payable. Any residue shall be paid to the person whose Shares have been sold:

(a)
if no certificate for the Shares was issued, at the date of the sale; or

(b)
if a certificate for the Shares was issued, upon surrender to the Company of that certificate for cancellation

but, in either case, subject to the Company retaining a like lien for all sums not presently payable as existed on the Shares before the sale.

5
Calls on Shares and forfeiture

Power to make calls and effect of calls

5.1
Subject to the terms of allotment, the directors may make calls on the Members in respect of any moneys unpaid on their Shares including any premium. The call may provide for payment to be by instalments. Subject to receiving at least 14 Clear Days’ notice specifying when and where payment is to be made, each Member shall pay to the Company the amount called on his Shares as required by the notice.

(a)
by paying up the amounts unpaid on that Member’s Shares;

(b)
by issuing Fully Paid Shares, debentures or other securities of the Company to that Member or as that Member directs.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV

51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor

New York, New York 10002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among ListCo, ARYA, Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”) and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with ARYA and the Company surviving the mergers and ARYA and the Company becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, ListCo is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase in a private placement, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, (i) shares (the “Shares”) of ListCo’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants, each representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock and to be represented by a warrant with the terms and conditions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant Agreement”) and which will be executed on the Closing Date (as defined below) (such warrants, the “Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “PIPE Securities”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the parties to this Subscription Agreement (other than the Investor) are entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are herein after referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the PIPE Securities is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount” and shall be comprised of (i) an amount of cash (the “Additional Cash”) set forth on the signature page hereto and (ii) the contribution by the Investor to ListCo of (a) the Convertible Promissory Notes, dated April 4, 2023, June 30, 2023, July 31, 2023, August 31, 2023, September 29, 2023, and October 26, 2023, each issued by the Company to the Investor, and (b) the Convertible Promissory Notes, dated November 28, 2023, December 13, 2023, December 28, 2023 and January 29, 2024, each issued by the Company to the Investor (together, the “Company Convertible Notes”).

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, ARYA and ListCo acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ListCo the number of PIPE Securities set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the PIPE Securities for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by ListCo only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of ListCo; ListCo may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Securities that will be purchased by the Investor and issued by ListCo on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or in the case of the Warrant Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in each of the Warrant Agreement, shall be securities of a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, securities of ARYA, a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur

Ann. F-1

contingent upon, and substantially concurrent with the effectiveness of the Transaction (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) ListCo to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that ListCo reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction Agreement to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to ListCo, three (3) business days prior to the anticipated closing date specified in the Closing Notice, (i) the Additional Cash by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by ListCo in the Closing Notice (which account shall not be an escrow account), and (ii) any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the PIPE Securities to be issued to the Investor, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such securities are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. On the Closing Date, the Company Convertible Notes shall be contributed by the Investor to ListCo, and in consideration for the Subscription Amount ListCo shall issue a number of PIPE Securities to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement and deliver a fully executed Warrant Agreement to the Investor, and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on ListCo’s share register; provided, however, that ListCo’s obligation to issue the PIPE Securities to the Investor is contingent upon ListCo having received the Additional Cash in full accordance with this Section 2. In the event the Closing does not occur within two (2) business days of the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, ListCo shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days thereafter) return the Additional Cash to the Investor; provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the PIPE Securities at the Closing upon the delivery by ListCo of a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 2. In the event the Closing does not occur, the Company Convertible Notes shall be deemed not to have been contributed by the Investor to ListCo on the Closing Date and shall remain enforceable obligations against the Company in accordance with their terms. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required to close for business.

(ii) (A) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in Article 6 of the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied (which shall be deemed satisfied if mutually determined by the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement and other than those conditions under the Transaction Agreement that, by their nature are to be satisfied in connection with the closing of the Transaction, including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or the Other Subscription Agreements) or waived by the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement as provided therein and (B) the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date as the Closing.

b. The obligation of ListCo to consummate the sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the conditions (which may be waived in writing (email being sufficient) by ListCo with the prior written consent of ARYA (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) that (i) all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (except for (i) those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date and (ii)

Ann. F-2

those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such specified earlier date) and (ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Investor required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing shall have been performed in all material respects.

c. The obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the conditions (which may be waived in writing (email being sufficient) by the Investor) that (i) all representations and warranties of ListCo and ARYA contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (other than (A) representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects and (B) for those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such specified earlier date); (ii) ListCo and ARYA shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all obligations, covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; and (iii) the Shares acquired hereunder shall have been approved for listing by the Stock Exchange (as defined below).

4. Further Assurances. At or prior to the Closing, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional documents and take such additional actions as the parties reasonably may deem to be practical and necessary in order to consummate the subscription as contemplated by this Subscription Agreement.

5. ListCo Representations and Warranties. ListCo represents and warrants to the Investor that:

a. ListCo is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. ListCo has all power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Subscription Agreement.

b. As of the Closing Date, the Shares, the Warrants and any Warrant Shares, will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement or the Warrant Agreement, as applicable, such Shares or Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under ListCo’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (each, as amended on the Closing Date) or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or under any agreement or instrument to which ListCo is a party. As of the Closing Date, the Warrant Shares will have been duly reserved for issuance in an amount of duly authorized shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the initial exercise of the Warrants. ListCo shall keep such number of shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy the exercise of the Warrants at all times reserved for issuance until the earlier of the exercise of the Warrants in full or the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with their respective terms. The Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. On the Closing Date, the Warrant Agreement will be duly authorized, and when executed and delivered by ListCo, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of ListCo and will be enforceable against ListCo in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

c. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by ListCo and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor and ARYA, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against ListCo in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

d. The sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities and the compliance by ListCo with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance of the Warrant Shares, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or

Ann. F-3

imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of ListCo or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity of the PIPE Securities, including the Warrant Shares, or legal authority of ListCo to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Warrant Agreement or the Transaction (a “ListCo Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ListCo; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ListCo or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a ListCo Material Adverse Effect.

e. As of the date of this Subscription Agreement, the authorized share capital of ListCo (excluding the PIPE Securities) consists of one thousand (1,000) shares of Common Stock and the issued share capital of ListCo consists of one (1) share of Common Stock, which (A) has been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (B) has been issued in compliance with applicable law and (C) has not been issued in breach or violation of any preemptive rights or contract. Immediately following the Closing, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall (A) be, or have been duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (B) shall have been issued in compliance with applicable law and (C) not have been issued in breach or violation of any preemptive rights or contract. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which ListCo is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of ListCo, other than (1) as set forth in the SEC Reports (as defined below) and (2) as contemplated by the Transaction Agreement. Except as set forth above and pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction Agreement and the other agreements and arrangements referred to therein, as of the date hereof, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or acquire from ListCo any equity interests in ListCo, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such equity interests. As of the date hereof, ListCo has no subsidiaries and does not own, directly or indirectly, interests or investments (whether equity or debt) in any person, whether incorporated or unincorporated.

f. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor, ListCo is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by ListCo of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance by ListCo of the PIPE Securities or any Warrant Shares), other than (i) filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings required by Nasdaq, or such other applicable stock exchange on which ListCo’s common equity will be listed (the “Stock Exchange”), (iv) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Transaction Agreement, and (v) those of which the failure to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have a ListCo Material Adverse Effect.

g. As of the date hereof, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of ListCo, threatened against ListCo by the Stock Exchange or the SEC, respectively, to prohibit the listing of the Shares and Warrant Shares, or the registration of, when issued in connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Shares and Warrant Shares under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended in connection with the shareholder meeting of ARYA on February 28, 2023 and as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and ARYA, dated March 2, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with ListCo, ARYA, the Company or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.

11. Tax Matters. The parties to this Subscription Agreement intend that the Transaction and the issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and certain Other Subscription Agreements shall collectively be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code. Following the Closing, the Investor shall determine and notify ListCo of the value of the PIPE Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and such value shall be utilized for purposes of valuing any PIPE Securities issued pursuant to any Other Subscription Agreement. Each party shall (and shall cause its respective affiliates to) prepare and file all tax returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with (whether in audits, tax returns or otherwise), this Section 11 (including with respect to the value of any of the PIPE Securities) unless otherwise required to do so pursuant to a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

12. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the PIPE Securities acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 8 solely in connection with a transfer of such PIPE Securities (other than a transfer in connection with a sale pursuant to either an effective registration statement or under Rule 144), if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying ListCo, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Investor) or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrants may not be transferred by the holder thereof following their issuance. Further, the Investor has the option to reduce the Additional Cash set forth on the signature page hereto with the gross proceeds (notwithstanding any fees netted therefrom) from any financing or commitment for financing for which, in either case, the proceeds of such financing are available to the Company, ARYA or ListCo, as applicable, on or prior to the Transaction Closing Date (any such financing, an “Additional Financing”) prior to the Closing, whether in the form of equity, debt or convertible debt, other than pursuant to the financing agreements entered into by ARYA or ListCo on the date hereof; provided that such reduction of the Additional Cash may not exceed $1,070,575.10. To the extent that the gross proceeds of any Additional Financing reduce the Additional Cash set forth on the signature page hereto, the number of Warrants and the Sponsor Promote Allocation Shares subscribed for by the Investor shall each be reduced in proportion to the amount by which the Additional Cash is reduced. The Investor agrees that to the extent the gross proceeds of any Additional Financing is applied at the option of the Investor as set forth in Section 3.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement, dated February [13], 2024, by and between the Investor, the Company and ListCo, then such Additional Cash may not also be used to reduce the Additional Cash set forth on the signature page hereto.

b. ListCo may request from the Investor such additional information as ListCo may deem necessary to register the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the PIPE Securities, and the Investor shall provide any such information as may be reasonably requested. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other covenants or agreements in this Subscription Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that ListCo and ARYA may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement and the Warrant Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of ListCo or ARYA.

c. The Investor acknowledges that ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent in writing if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements,

Ann. F-12

representations or warranties set forth in Section 7 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of PIPE Securities from ListCo will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

d. The Investor agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person), in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), of any economic consequences of ownership (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any consequences resulting solely from foreign exchange fluctuations), in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any PIPE Securities or any securities of ARYA prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of ARYA, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 12(d) shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the date hereof and securities purchased by the Investor in the open market after the date hereof) other than those effectuated through derivative transactions and similar instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 12(d) (i) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any of the transactions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 12(d); and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section 12(d) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

e. ListCo, ARYA and the Placement Agent are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 12(e) shall not give the Placement Agent any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of ListCo or ARYA set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

g. This Subscription Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no modification, amendment or waiver by ListCo of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of ARYA (other than modifications, amendments or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and, in each case, do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of either party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

j. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

k. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV

51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor

New York, New York 10002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among ListCo, ARYA, Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”) and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with ARYA and the Company surviving the mergers and ARYA and the Company becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, ListCo is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase in a private placement, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, (i) shares (the “Shares”) of ListCo’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) , and (ii) warrants, each representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock and to be represented by a warrant with the terms and conditions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant Agreement”) and which will be executed on the Closing Date (as defined below) (such warrants, the “Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “PIPE Securities”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the parties to this Subscription Agreement (other than the Investor) are entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are herein after referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the PIPE Securities (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.”

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, ARYA and ListCo acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ListCo the number of PIPE Securities set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the PIPE Securities for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by ListCo only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of ListCo; ListCo may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Securities that will be purchased by the Investor and issued by ListCo on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or in the case of the Warrant Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in each of the Warrant Agreement, shall be securities of a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, securities of ARYA, a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur contingent upon, and substantially concurrent with the effectiveness of the Transaction (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) ListCo to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that ListCo reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction

Ann. G-1

(A) The signature on this Subscription Agreement is genuine, (B) the signatory of this Subscription Agreement, if the Investor is an individual, has legal competence and capacity to execute the same or, if the Investor is not an individual, the signatory has been duly authorized to execute the same, (C) this Subscription Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Investor or the investment advisor to which the Investor has delegated decision making authority over investments and (D) this Subscription Agreement constitutes, assuming that the Subscription Agreement and the Warrant Agreement constitute the valid and binding agreement of ARYA and ListCo, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable against the Investor in accordance with its terms except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

m. The Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, the Executive Order 13599 List, the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, or the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List, each of which is administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of

Ann. G-9

Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC Lists; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk regions of Ukraine or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

The Investor agrees to provide law enforcement agencies, if requested thereby, such records as required by applicable law, provided that the Investor is permitted to do so under applicable law. If the Investor is a financial institution subject to the Bank Secrecy Act (31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et seq.) (the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including, without limitation, the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the PIPE Securities and any Warrant Shares were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.

n. The Investor acknowledges that no disclosure or offering document has been prepared by the Placement Agent in connection with the offer and sale of the PIPE Securities.

o. The Investor acknowledges that neither the Placement Agent, nor any of its respective affiliates nor any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing have made any independent investigation with respect to ListCo, ARYA, the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the PIPE Securities or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by ListCo, ARYA or the Company, as applicable.

p. The Investor has or has commitments to have and, when required to deliver payment to ListCo pursuant to Section 2 above, will have, sufficient funds to pay the Subscription Amount and consummate the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

q. The Investor does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date hereof such Investor has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of ARYA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

r. The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of ARYA (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of the Investor and its affiliates.

s. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agent (a) is acting solely in its capacity as placement agent with respect to the issuance and sale of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements, is not acting as an underwriter, initial purchaser, dealer, financial advisor, fiduciary or in any other capacity and is not and shall not be construed as a fiduciary to the Investor, ListCo, ARYA or any other person or entity in connection with this offering of the PIPE Securities or the Transaction; (b) has not made and will not make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character to the Investor and has not provided any advice or recommendation in connection with this offering of the PIPE Securities or the Transaction; (c) will have

Ann. G-10

no responsibility with respect to (i) any representations, warranties or agreements made by any person or entity under or in connection with the offering of the PIPE Securities, the Transaction or any of the documents furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith or the execution, legality, validity or enforceability (with respect to any person) of any thereof, or (ii) the business, affairs, financial condition, operations, properties or prospects of, or any other matter concerning ListCo, this offering of PIPE Securities, or the Transaction.

t. The Investor acknowledges and is aware that the Placement Agent is acting as ARYA’s and ListCo’s placement agent and Jefferies LLC is acting as capital markets advisor to ARYA.

u. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Investor, ListCo, ARYA or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to the Investor, or to any person claiming through the Investor, in respect of this offering of the PIPE Securities or the Transaction.

v. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Investor, ListCo, ARYA or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort otherwise, to the Investor, or to any person claiming through the Investor, in respect of this offering of the PIPE Securities or the Transaction.

8. Registration Rights.

a. In the event that the Shares and the Warrant Shares (such securities, the “PIPE Registrable Securities”) are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, ListCo agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Date”), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities, and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof (or one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies ListCo that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (ii) ten (10) business days after ListCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. ListCo agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the PIPE Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the date that is five years and six months following the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any PIPE Registrable Securities or Warrants issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its PIPE Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 within 90 days without the public information, volume or manner limitations of such rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents ListCo from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of PIPE Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of PIPE Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of PIPE Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to ListCo upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. If the PIPE Registrable Securities are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 within 90 days without the public information, volume or manner limitations of such rule, or the Registration Statement covering the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities is effective (and the Investor and its broker provide ListCo and its transfer agent with customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to ListCo and its transfer agent in connection therewith), then at the

Ann. G-11

Investor’s request, ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend described in Section 7(b) from the PIPE Registrable Securities. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 8.a), ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the PIPE Registrable Securities for listing on the Stock Exchange and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares sold hereby for resale. For as long as the Investor holds the PIPE Registrable Securities, ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investor to resell the PIPE Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to the Investor), as applicable. ListCo may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after ListCo becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, if such filing would require the inclusion, in such Registration Statement, of financial statements that are unavailable to ListCo for reasons beyond ListCo’s control or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of ListCo or would require premature disclosure of information that would adversely affect ListCo and that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act; provided, that (i) ListCo shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of a registration statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred and sixty (360) day period and (ii) ListCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. ListCo’s obligations to include the PIPE Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to ListCo such information regarding the Investor, the securities of ListCo held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such PIPE Registrable Securities, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by ListCo to effect the registration of such PIPE Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as ListCo may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

b. ListCo shall advise the Investor within two (2) business days (at ListCo’s expense): (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by ListCo of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the PIPE Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon receipt of any written notice from ListCo (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding ListCo) of the happening of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of the occurrence of such event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the PIPE Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which ListCo agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by ListCo that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by ListCo except (A) for disclosure to the Investor’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures

Ann. G-12

to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as required by law or subpoena. ListCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above, except for such times as ListCo is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, ListCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the PIPE Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

c. Indemnification.

(i) ListCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Investor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to ListCo by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.

(ii) The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any other person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless ListCo, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls ListCo (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the PIPE Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (1) cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), (2) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, or (3) contains any statement of fault or culpability.

Ann. G-13

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the PIPE Registrable Securities.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 8.c) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8.c) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor pursuant to this Section 8.c)(v) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the PIPE Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, and such obligations of the Investor shall be several and not joint.

9. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) ListCo’s notification to the Investor in writing that it has, with the written consent of the Company, abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction and/or terminated the Investor’s obligations with respect to the subscription without the delivery of the Shares having occurred, and (d) the delivery of a notice of termination of this Subscription Agreement by the Investor to ListCo and ARYA on the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement, and such thirtieth calendar day, the “Outside Date”), if the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date (provided, that the right to terminate this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall not be available to the Investor if the Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Subscription Agreement (or if an affiliate of the Investor is an Other Investor, and such Other Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under an Other Subscription Agreement), either individually or in the aggregate, shall have proximately caused the failure of the consummation of the Transaction on or before the Termination Date) (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation, representation or warranty hereunder prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful and material breach. ListCo shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement as promptly as practicable after the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to ListCo in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

10. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that ARYA is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in ARYA’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 25, 2021 (the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of ARYA’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of ARYA’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in

Ann. G-14

a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of ARYA, its public shareholders and the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to ARYA to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of ARYA entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to ARYA’s public shareholders or to the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended in connection with the shareholder meeting of ARYA on February 28, 2023 and as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and ARYA, dated March 2, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with ListCo, ARYA, the Company or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the PIPE Securities acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 8 solely in connection with a transfer of such PIPE Securities (other than a transfer in connection with a sale pursuant to either an effective registration statement or under Rule 144), if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying ListCo, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Investor) or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrants may not be transferred by the holder thereof following their issuance.

b. ListCo may request from the Investor such additional information as ListCo may deem necessary to register the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the PIPE Securities, and the Investor shall provide any such information as may be reasonably requested. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other covenants or agreements in this Subscription Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that ListCo and ARYA may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement and Warrant Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of ListCo or ARYA.

c. The Investor acknowledges that ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent in writing if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in Section 7 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of PIPE Securities from ListCo will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

d. The Investor agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put

Ann. G-15

or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person), in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), of any economic consequences of ownership (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any consequences resulting solely from foreign exchange fluctuations), in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any PIPE Securities or any securities of ARYA prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of ARYA, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 11.d) shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the date hereof and securities purchased by the Investor in the open market after the date hereof) other than those effectuated through derivative transactions and similar instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.d) (i) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any of the transactions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11.d); and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section 11.d) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

e. ListCo, ARYA and the Placement Agent are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 11.e) shall not give the Placement Agent any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of ListCo or ARYA set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

g. This Subscription Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no modification, amendment or waiver by ListCo of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of ARYA (other than modifications, amendments or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and, in each case, do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of either party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

h. This Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the schedule hereto and the Warrant Agreement attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3.b), Section 7, Section 9, Section 11.c), Section 11.e), Section 11.g), this Section 11.h) and the last sentence of Section 11.l) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon

Ann. G-16

any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

i. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

j. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

k. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document.

New York, New York 10002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among ListCo, ARYA, Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”) and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with ARYA and the Company surviving the mergers and ARYA and the Company becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, ListCo is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase in a private placement, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, (i) shares (the “Shares”) of ListCo’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) warrants, each representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock and to be represented by a warrant with the terms and conditions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Warrant Agreement”) and which will be executed on the Closing Date (as defined below) (such warrants, the “Warrants” and together with the Shares, the “PIPE Securities”). On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the parties to this Subscription Agreement (other than the Investor) are entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants are herein after referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the PIPE Securities (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount” and is set forth on the signature page hereto.

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, ARYA and ListCo acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ListCo the number of PIPE Securities set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the PIPE Securities for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by ListCo only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of ListCo; ListCo may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Securities that will be purchased by the Investor and issued by ListCo on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or in the case of the Warrant Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in each of the Warrant Agreement, shall be securities of a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, securities of ARYA, a Cayman Islands exempted company).

2. Closing. The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur contingent upon, and substantially concurrent with the effectiveness of the Transaction (the date the Closing so

Ann. H-1

occurs, the “Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) ListCo to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that ListCo reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction Agreement to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to ListCo, three (3) business days prior to the anticipated closing date specified in the Closing Notice, any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the PIPE Securities to be issued to the Investor, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such securities are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. On the Closing Date, ListCo shall issue a number of PIPE Securities to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, including by delivering a fully executed Warrant Agreement to the Investor, and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on ListCo’s share register. In lieu of paying the Subscription Amount, Investor hereby agrees that it shall not exercise its right to redeem the Investor ARYA Shares (as defined below) in connection with the consummation of the Transaction in accordance with Section 16 hereof. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required to close for business.

3. Closing Conditions.

(i) no applicable governmental authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any judgment, order, law, rule or regulation (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) which is then in effect and has the effect of making the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise enjoining, restraining or prohibiting consummation of (x) the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or (y) the Transaction; and

(ii) (A) all conditions precedent to the closing of the Transaction set forth in Article 6 of the Transaction Agreement shall have been satisfied (which shall be deemed satisfied if mutually determined by the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement and other than those conditions under the Transaction Agreement that, by their nature are to be satisfied in connection with the closing of the Transaction, including to the extent that any such condition is dependent upon the consummation of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or the Other Subscription Agreements) or waived by the applicable parties to the Transaction Agreement as provided therein and (B) the closing of the Transaction shall be scheduled to occur concurrently with or on the same date as the Closing.

b. The obligation of ListCo to consummate the sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the conditions (which may be waived in writing (email being sufficient) by ListCo with the prior written consent of ARYA (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) that (i) all representations and warranties of the Investor contained in this Subscription Agreement are true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (except for (i) those representations and warranties qualified by materiality, which shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date and (ii) those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such specified earlier date) and (ii) all obligations, covenants and agreements of the Investor required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing shall have been performed in all material respects.

c. The obligation of the Investor to consummate the purchase of the PIPE Securities pursuant to this Subscription Agreement shall be subject to the conditions (which may be waived in writing (email being sufficient) by the Investor) that (i) all representations and warranties of ListCo and ARYA contained in this Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing Date (other than (A) representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects and (B) those representations and warranties that speak as of a specified earlier date, which shall be so true and correct in all material respects (or, if qualified by materiality, in all respects) as of such specified earlier date); (ii) ListCo and

Ann. H-2

ARYA shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with all obligations, covenants, agreements and conditions required by the Subscription Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by it at or prior to the Closing; and (iii) the Shares acquired hereunder shall have been approved for listing by the Stock Exchange (as defined below).

5. ListCo Representations and Warranties. ListCo represents and warrants to the Investor that:

a. ListCo is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

b. As of the Closing Date, the Shares, the Warrants and any Warrant Shares, will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement or the Warrant Agreement, as applicable, such Shares or Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under ListCo’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (each, as amended on the Closing Date) or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or under any agreement or instrument to which ListCo is a party. As of the Closing Date, the Warrant Shares will have been duly reserved for issuance in an amount of duly authorized shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the initial exercise of the Warrants. ListCo shall keep such number of shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy the exercise of the Warrants at all times reserved for issuance until the earlier of the exercise of the Warrants in full or the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with their respective terms. The Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. On the Closing Date, the Warrant Agreement will be duly authorized, and when executed and delivered by ListCo, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of ListCo and will be enforceable against ListCo in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

c. This Subscription Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered by ListCo and, assuming that this Subscription Agreement constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Investor and ARYA, this Subscription Agreement is enforceable against ListCo in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

d. The sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities and the compliance by ListCo with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance of the Warrant Shares, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of ListCo or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity of the PIPE Securities, including the Warrant Shares, or legal authority of ListCo to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Warrant Agreement or the Transaction (a “ListCo Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ListCo; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ListCo or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a ListCo Material Adverse Effect.

Ann. H-3

g. As of the date hereof, there is no suit, action, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the knowledge of ListCo, threatened against ListCo by the Stock Exchange or the SEC, respectively, to prohibit the listing of the Shares and Warrant Shares, or the registration of, when issued in connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Shares and Warrant Shares under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

h. Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is required for the offer and sale of the PIPE Securities by ListCo to the Investor hereunder. The PIPE Securities (i) were not offered to the Investor by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Investor in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

Ann. H-4

with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Shares and Warrant Shares are not subject to any contractual prohibition on pledging or lock up, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment by ListCo in all respects.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that ListCo may enter into additional subscription agreements after the date hereof; provided, however, that if any such agreement is with respect to equity financing, then any such agreement shall be on substantially the same terms and at an effective offering price no less than as provided for pursuant to this subscription Agreement.

There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. For the avoidance of doubt, any restatement of the financial statements of ARYA and any amendments to previously filed SEC Reports or delays in filing SEC Reports, in connection with any guidance from the SEC following the date of this Subscription Agreement, shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 6(d). Additionally, for avoidance of doubt, any amendment or modification of any SEC Report (or any agreement filed as an exhibit to any SEC Report) from its initial filing date in a subsequent filing shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 6(d).

e. The sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities and the compliance by ARYA with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance of the Warrant Shares, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of ARYA or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is subject that would reasonably be expected to materially affect or legal authority of ARYA to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement or the Transaction (an “ARYA Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ARYA; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ARYA or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

8. Registration Rights.

a. In the event that the Shares and the Warrant Shares (such securities, the “PIPE Registrable Securities”) are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, ListCo agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Date”), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities, and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof (or one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies ListCo that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (ii) ten (10) business days after ListCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. ListCo agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the PIPE Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the date that is five years and six months following the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any PIPE Registrable Securities or Warrants issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its PIPE Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 within 90 days without the public information, volume or manner limitations of such rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents ListCo from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of PIPE Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of PIPE Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of PIPE Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to ListCo upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. If the PIPE Registrable Securities are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 within 90 days without the public information, volume or manner limitations of such rule, or the Registration Statement covering the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities is effective (and the Investor and its broker provide ListCo and its transfer agent with customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to ListCo and its transfer agent in connection therewith), then at the Investor’s request, ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend described in Section 7(b) from the PIPE Registrable Securities. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 8(a), ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the PIPE Registrable Securities for listing on the Stock Exchange and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares sold hereby for resale. For as long as the Investor holds the PIPE Registrable Securities, ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investor to resell the PIPE Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to the Investor), as applicable. ListCo may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after ListCo becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, if such filing would require the inclusion, in such Registration Statement, of financial statements that are unavailable to ListCo for reasons beyond ListCo’s control or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of ListCo or would require premature disclosure of information that would adversely affect ListCo and that would at that time not otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act; provided, that (i) ListCo shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of a registration statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred and sixty (360) day period and (ii) ListCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. ListCo’s obligations to include the PIPE Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription

Ann. H-11

Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to ListCo such information regarding the Investor, the securities of ListCo held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such PIPE Registrable Securities, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by ListCo to effect the registration of such PIPE Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as ListCo may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

b. ListCo shall advise the Investor within two (2) business days (at ListCo’s expense): (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by ListCo of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the PIPE Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon receipt of any written notice from ListCo (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding ListCo) of the happening of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of the occurrence of such event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the PIPE Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which ListCo agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by ListCo that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by ListCo except (A) for disclosure to the Investor’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as required by law or subpoena. ListCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above, except for such times as ListCo is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, ListCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the PIPE Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

c. Indemnification.

(i) ListCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Investor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to ListCo by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.

Ann. H-12

(ii) The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any other person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless ListCo, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls ListCo (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the PIPE Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (1) cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), (2) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, or (3) contains any statement of fault or culpability.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the PIPE Registrable Securities.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 8(c) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor pursuant to this Section 8(c)(v) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the PIPE Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, and such obligations of the Investor shall be several and not joint.

9. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any

Ann. H-13

party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) ListCo’s notification to the Investor in writing that it has, with the written consent of the Company, abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction and/or terminated the Investor’s obligations with respect to the subscription without the delivery of the Shares having occurred, and (d) the delivery of a notice of termination of this Subscription Agreement by the Investor to ListCo and ARYA on the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement, and such thirtieth calendar day, the “Outside Date”), if the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date (provided, that the right to terminate this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall not be available to the Investor if the Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Subscription Agreement (or if an affiliate of the Investor is an Other Investor, and such Other Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under an Other Subscription Agreement), either individually or in the aggregate, shall have proximately caused the failure of the consummation of the Transaction on or before the Termination Date) (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation, representation or warranty hereunder prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful and material breach. ListCo shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement as promptly as practicable after the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to ListCo in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

10. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that ARYA is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in ARYA’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 25, 2021 (the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of ARYA’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of ARYA’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of ARYA, its public shareholders and the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to ARYA to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of ARYA entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to ARYA’s public shareholders or to the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended in connection with the shareholder meeting of ARYA on February 28, 2023 and as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and ARYA, dated March 2, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with ListCo, ARYA, the Company or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the PIPE Securities acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 8 solely in connection with a transfer of such PIPE Securities (other than a transfer in connection with a sale pursuant to either an effective registration statement or under Rule 144), if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying ListCo, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment

Ann. H-14

manager who acts on behalf of Investor) or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrants may not be transferred by the holder thereof following their issuance.

b. ListCo may request from the Investor such additional information as ListCo may deem necessary to register the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the PIPE Securities, and the Investor shall provide any such information as may be reasonably requested. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other covenants or agreements in this Subscription Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that ListCo and ARYA may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement and Warrant Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of ListCo or ARYA.

c. The Investor acknowledges that ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent in writing if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in Section 7 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of PIPE Securities from ListCo will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

d. The Investor agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person), in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), of any economic consequences of ownership (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any consequences resulting solely from foreign exchange fluctuations), in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any PIPE Securities or any securities of ARYA prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of ARYA, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 11(d) shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the date hereof and securities purchased by the Investor in the open market after the date hereof) other than those effectuated through derivative transactions and similar instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11(d) (i) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any of the transactions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11(d); and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section 11(d) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

e. ListCo, ARYA and the Placement Agent are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided,

Ann. H-15

however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 11(e) shall not give the Placement Agent any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of ListCo or ARYA set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

g. This Subscription Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no modification, amendment or waiver by ListCo of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of ARYA (other than modifications, amendments or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and, in each case, do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of either party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

h. This Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the schedule hereto and the Warrant Agreement attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3(b), Section 7, Section 9, Section 11(c), Section 11(e), Section 11(g), this Section 11(h) and the last sentence of Section 11(l) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

i. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

j. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

k. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

l. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations hereunder, ListCo’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 11(N) OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF.

EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO.

o. The Investor hereby acknowledges that the Placement Agent and/or its respective affiliates may now or in the future own securities of ARYA and/or purchase securities in the Transaction.

12. Non-Reliance and Exculpation. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, the Placement Agent, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the statements, representations and warranties of ListCo expressly contained in Section 5 and ARYA expressly contained in Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in ListCo. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that none of (i) any other investor pursuant to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the PIPE Securities (including the investor’s respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), (ii) the Placement Agent, its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing, or (iii) any other party to the Transaction Agreement or any Non-Party Affiliate, shall have any liability to the Investor, or to any other investor, pursuant to, arising out of or relating to this Subscription Agreement or any other subscription agreement related to the private placement of the PIPE Securities, the negotiation hereof or thereof or its subject matter, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, with respect to any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the PIPE Securities or with respect to any claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith, as expressly provided herein, or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any information or materials of any kind furnished by ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent or any Non-Party Affiliate concerning ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent, any of its respective controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Ann. H-18

14. Disclosure. ARYA shall on the first (1st) business day following the date of this Subscription Agreement, issue one or more press releases or file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (collectively, the “Disclosure Document”) disclosing all material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction and any other material, nonpublic information that ARYA has provided to the Investor at any time prior to the filing of the Disclosure Document. Upon the issuance of the Disclosure Document, to the actual knowledge of ARYA, the Investor shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information received from ARYA, the Company or any of their officers, directors, or employees or agents, and the Investor shall no longer be subject to any confidentiality or similar obligations under any current agreement, whether written or oral with ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement, the Warrant Agreement, the Other Subscription Agreements or the Transaction Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary, ARYA shall not publicly disclose the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers or include the name of the Investor or any of its affiliates or advisers in any press release without the prior written consent of the Investor except as required by the federal securities law or pursuant to other routine proceedings of regulatory authorities, or to the extent such disclosure is required by law, at the request of the staff of the SEC or regulatory agency or under the rules and regulations of the Stock Exchange, in which case ARYA will provide Investor with prior written notice (including by e-mail) of such disclosure to the extent such announcements or other communications contain only information previously disclosed in a public statement, press release or other communication that was approved by the Investor in accordance with this Section 14.

15. Several Obligations. The obligations of the Investor and each Other Investor in connection with the private placement are several and not joint, and Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Investor in connection with the private placement.

ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV

51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor

New York, New York 10002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Subscription Agreement (this “Subscription Agreement”) is being entered into as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date (as defined below), a wholly owned subsidiary of ARYA (“ListCo”), ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, a Cayman Islands exempted company (“ARYA”), and the undersigned subscriber (the “Investor”), in connection with the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Transaction Agreement”), by and among ListCo, ARYA, Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), Aja Merger Sub 2, a Delaware corporation and prior to the Closing Date, a wholly owned subsidiary of ListCo (“Company Merger Sub”) and Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which, among other things, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA and Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with ARYA and the Company surviving the mergers and ARYA and the Company becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of ListCo, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction”).

In connection with the Transaction, ListCo is seeking commitments from interested investors to purchase in a private placement, contingent upon, and substantially concurrently with the closing of the Transaction, (i) shares (the “Shares”) of ListCo’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), (ii) pre-funded warrants each representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock and to be represented by a warrant with the terms and conditions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement”) and which will be executed and issued on the Closing Date (as defined below) (such warrants, the “Pre-Funded Warrants”) and (iii) warrants, each representing the right to purchase shares of Common Stock and to be represented by a warrant with the terms and conditions in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Warrant Agreement”) and which will be executed and issued on the Closing Date (such warrants, the “Warrants” and together with the Shares and Pre-Funded Warrants, the “PIPE Securities”). The shares of Common Stock underlying the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants are herein after referred to as the “Warrant Shares.” On or about the date of this Subscription Agreement, the parties to this Subscription Agreement (other than the Investor) are entering into subscription agreements (the “Other Subscription Agreements,” and together with this Subscription Agreement, the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain other investors (the “Other Investors,” and together with the Investor, the “Investors”). The aggregate purchase price to be paid by the Investor for the PIPE Securities (as set forth on the signature page hereto) is referred to herein as the “Subscription Amount.”

In connection therewith, and in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of the Investor, ARYA and ListCo acknowledges and agrees as follows:

1. Subscription. The Investor hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from ListCo the number of PIPE Securities set forth on the signature page of this Subscription Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo reserves the right to accept or reject the Investor’s subscription for the PIPE Securities for any reason or for no reason, in whole or in part, at any time prior to its acceptance, and the same shall be deemed to be accepted by ListCo only when this Subscription Agreement is signed by a duly authorized person by or on behalf of ListCo; ListCo may do so in counterpart form. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Securities that will be purchased by the Investor and issued by ListCo on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Subscription Agreement, or in the case of the Warrant Shares, on the terms and conditions set forth in each of the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, shall be securities of a Delaware corporation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, securities of ARYA, a Cayman Islands exempted company).

Ann. I-1

2. Closing. The closing of the sale, purchase and issuance of the PIPE Securities contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) is contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Transaction. The Closing shall occur contingent upon, and substantially concurrent with the effectiveness of the Transaction (the date the Closing so occurs, the “Closing Date”). Upon delivery of written notice from (or on behalf of) ListCo to the Investor (the “Closing Notice”), that ListCo reasonably expects all conditions to the closing of the Transaction under the Transaction Agreement to be satisfied or waived on a date that is not less than five (5) business days from the date on which the Closing Notice is delivered to the Investor, the Investor shall deliver to ListCo, three (3) business days prior to the anticipated closing date specified in the Closing Notice, (i) the Subscription Amount by wire transfer of United States dollars in immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by ListCo in the Closing Notice (which account shall not be an escrow account) and (ii) any other information that is reasonably requested in the Closing Notice in order for the PIPE Securities to be issued to the Investor, including, without limitation, the legal name of the person in whose name such securities are to be issued and a duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or W-8, as applicable. On the Closing Date, ListCo shall issue a number of PIPE Securities to the Investor set forth on the signature page to this Subscription Agreement, including by delivering the executed Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Agreement to the Investor, and subsequently cause the Shares to be registered in book entry form, free and clear of all liens (other than those arising under applicable securities laws), in the name of the Investor on ListCo’s share register; provided, however, that ListCo’s obligation to issue the PIPE Securities to the Investor is contingent upon ListCo having received the Subscription Amount in full accordance with this Section 2. In the event the Closing does not occur within two (2) business days of the anticipated Closing Date specified in the Closing Notice, ListCo shall promptly (but not later than three (3) business days thereafter) return the Subscription Amount to the Investor; provided that, unless this Subscription Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section 9 hereof, such return of funds shall not terminate this Subscription Agreement or relieve the Investor of its obligation to purchase the PIPE Securities at the Closing upon the delivery by ListCo of a subsequent Closing Notice in accordance with this Section 2. For purposes of this Subscription Agreement, “business day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which commercial banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required to close for business.

b. As of the Closing Date, the Shares, the Warrants, the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrant Shares will be duly authorized and, when issued and delivered to the Investor against full payment therefor in accordance with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, or the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement or the Warrant Agreement, as applicable, such Shares or Warrant Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and will not have been issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive or similar rights created under ListCo’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (each, as amended on the Closing Date) or under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or under any agreement or instrument to which ListCo is a party. As of the Closing Date, the Warrant Shares will have been duly reserved for issuance in an amount of duly authorized shares of Common Stock that is equal to the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon the initial exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants and the Warrants. ListCo shall keep such number of shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants at all times reserved for issuance until the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants in full. ListCo shall keep such number of shares of Common Stock as necessary to satisfy the exercise of the Warrants at all times reserved for issuance until the earlier of the exercise of the Warrants in full or the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with their respective terms. The Warrant Shares issued upon the exercise of any Pre-Funded Warrant or Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. On the Closing Date, each of the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Agreement will be duly authorized, and when executed and delivered by ListCo, will constitute the valid and binding agreement of ListCo and will be enforceable against ListCo in accordance with their respective terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, or (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

d. The sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities and the compliance by ListCo with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance of the Warrant Shares, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of ListCo or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan

Ann. I-3

agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ListCo or any of its subsidiaries is subject that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the validity of the PIPE Securities, including the Warrant Shares, or legal authority of ListCo to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement or the Transaction (a “ListCo Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ListCo; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ListCo or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a ListCo Material Adverse Effect.

h. Assuming the accuracy of the Investor’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 7, no registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) is required for the offer and sale of the PIPE Securities by ListCo to the Investor hereunder. The PIPE Securities (i) were not offered to the Investor by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered to the Investor in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws.

i. Except for such matters as have not had and would not be reasonably likely to have a ListCo Material Adverse Effect, as of the date hereof, there is no (i) action, suit, claim or other proceeding, in each case by or before any governmental authority pending, or, to the knowledge of ListCo, threatened against ListCo or (ii) judgment, decree, injunction, ruling or order of any governmental entity or arbitrator outstanding against ListCo.

Ann. I-4

k. ListCo acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Shares and Warrant Shares may be pledged by Investor in connection with a bona fide margin agreement, provided such pledge shall be (i) pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or (ii) pursuant to, and in accordance with, a registration statement that is effective under the Securities Act at the time of such pledge, and the Investor effecting a pledge of the Shares and Warrant Shares shall not be required to provide ListCo with any notice thereof; provided, however, that neither ListCo, ARYA, the Company or their respective counsels shall be required to take any action (or refrain from taking any action) in connection with any such pledge, other than providing any such lender of such margin agreement with an acknowledgment that the Shares and Warrant Shares are not subject to any contractual prohibition on pledging or lock up, the form of such acknowledgment to be subject to review and comment by ListCo in all respects.

l. Other than the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction Agreement and any other agreement contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, as of the date hereof, ListCo has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Other Investor or any other investor in connection with such Other Investor’s or investor’s direct or indirect investment in ListCo (other than any side letter or similar agreement relating to the transfer to any investor of securities to be issued to the direct or indirect securityholders of the Company pursuant to the Transaction Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that ListCo may enter into additional subscription agreements after the date hereof; provided, however, that if any such agreement is with respect to equity financing, then any such agreement shall be on substantially the same terms and at an effective offering price no less than as provided for pursuant to this Subscription Agreement.

There are no outstanding or unresolved comments in comment letters from the staff of the SEC with respect to any of the SEC Reports. For the avoidance of doubt, any restatement of the financial statements of ARYA and any amendments to previously filed SEC Reports or delays in filing SEC Reports, in connection with any guidance from the SEC following the date of this Subscription Agreement, shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 6(d). Additionally, for avoidance of doubt, any amendment or modification of any SEC Report (or any agreement filed as an exhibit to any SEC Report) from its initial filing date in a subsequent filing shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 6(d).

e. The sale and issuance of the PIPE Securities and the compliance by ARYA with all of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein, including the issuance of the Warrant Shares, will not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any of the property or assets of ARYA or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of (i) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is a party or by which ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of ARYA or any of its subsidiaries is subject that would reasonably be expected materially affect or legal authority of ARYA to comply in all material respects with the terms of this Subscription Agreement or the Transaction (an “ARYA Material Adverse Effect”); (ii) result in any violation of the provisions of the organizational documents of ARYA; or (iii) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over ARYA or any of its properties that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

f. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor, ARYA is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to, or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other governmental authority, self-regulatory organization or other person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by ARYA of this Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the issuance by ListCo of the PIPE Securities or any Warrant Shares), other than (i) filings with the SEC, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings required by the Stock Exchange, (iv) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Transaction Agreement, and (v) those of which the failure to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

h. Other than the Other Subscription Agreements, the Transaction Agreement and any other agreement contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, ARYA has not entered into any side letter or similar agreement with any Other Investor or any other investor in connection with such Other Investor’s or investor’s direct or indirect investment in ARYA (other than any side letter or similar agreement relating to the transfer to any investor of securities to be issued to the direct or indirect securityholders of the Company pursuant to the Transaction Agreement).

The Investor is not an entity formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the PIPE Securities. The term “affiliate” or “affiliated” as used in this Subscription Agreement shall mean, with respect to any individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, joint stock company, unincorporated organization or association, trust, joint venture or other similar entity, whether or not a legal entity, or governmental entity (a “person”), any other person who directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. The term “control” as used in this Subscription Agreement shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise, and the terms “controlled” and “controlling” have meanings correlative thereto.

b. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Securities and Warrant Shares are being offered in a transaction not involving any public offering within the meaning of the Securities Act and that the offer and sale of the PIPE Securities and Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws.

restrictions, the Investor may not be able to readily offer, resell, transfer, pledge or otherwise dispose of the PIPE Securities or Warrant Shares and may be required to bear the financial risk of an investment in the PIPE Securities and Warrant Shares for an indefinite period of time. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the PIPE Securities and Warrant Shares will not immediately be eligible for offer, resale, transfer or disposition pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that it has been advised to consult legal counsel and tax and accounting advisors prior to making any offer, resale, transfer, pledge, transfer or disposition of any of the PIPE Securities or Warrant Shares. The Investor further acknowledges that the Warrants will be non-transferable prior to the exercise thereof.

c. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor is purchasing the PIPE Securities directly from ListCo.

d. The Investor’s acquisition and holding of the PIPE Securities will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any applicable similar law.

e. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor has received such information as the Investor deems necessary in order to make an investment decision with respect to the PIPE Securities, including, without limitation, with respect to ARYA, the Transaction and the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the SEC Reports. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, have had the full opportunity to ask such questions, receive such answers and obtain such information as the Investor and the Investor’s professional advisor(s), if any, deemed necessary to make an investment decision with respect to the PIPE Securities.

f. The Investor became aware of this offering of the PIPE Securities solely by means of direct contact between the Investor, ARYA, ListCo or the Company or a representative of ARYA, ListCo or the Company, and the PIPE Securities were offered to the Investor solely by direct contact between the Investor and ARYA, ListCo or the Company or a representative of ListCo, ARYA or the Company. The Investor did not become aware of this offering of the PIPE Securities, nor were the PIPE Securities offered to the Investor, by any other means and none of ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent or their respective representatives or any person acting on behalf of any of them acted as investment advisor, broker or dealer to the Investor. The Investor acknowledges that the PIPE Securities (i) were not offered by any form of general solicitation or general advertising and (ii) are not being offered in a manner involving a public offering under, or in a distribution in violation of, the Securities Act, or any state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that it is not relying upon, and has not relied upon, any statement, representation or warranty made by any person, firm or corporation (including, without limitation, ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent, any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing), other than the representations and warranties of ListCo and ARYA contained in Section 5 and Section 6 of this Subscription Agreement, in making its investment or decision to invest in ListCo.

g. The Investor acknowledges that it is aware that there are substantial risks incident to the purchase and ownership of the PIPE Securities, including, without limitation, those set forth in the SEC Reports. The Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the PIPE Securities, and the Investor has had an opportunity to seek, and has sought such accounting, legal, business and tax advice as the Investor has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision and the Investor has made its own assessment and satisfied itself concerning relevant tax and other economic considerations relative to its purchase of the PIPE Securities. The Investor (i) is an institutional account as defined in FINRA Rule 4512(c), (ii) is a sophisticated investor, experienced in investing in private equity transactions and capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities, and (iii) has exercised independent judgment in evaluating its participation in the purchase of the PIPE Securities.

h. Alone, or together with any professional advisor(s), the Investor has adequately analyzed and fully considered the risks of an investment in the PIPE Securities and determined that the PIPE Securities are a suitable investment for the Investor and that the Investor is able at this time and in the foreseeable future to bear the economic risk of a total loss of the Investor’s investment in ListCo. The Investor acknowledges specifically that a possibility of total loss exists.

i. In making its decision to purchase the PIPE Securities, the Investor has relied solely upon independent investigation made by the Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Investor has not relied on any statements or other information provided by or on behalf of the Placement Agent or any of its respective affiliates or any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing concerning ListCo, the Company, the Transaction, the Transaction Agreement, this Subscription Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement, the Warrant Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the PIPE Securities or the offer and sale of the PIPE Securities.

m. The Investor is not (i) a person or entity named on the List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons, the Executive Order 13599 List, the Foreign Sanctions Evaders List, or the Sectoral Sanctions Identification List, each of which is administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) or in any Executive Order issued by the President of the United States and administered by OFAC (“OFAC List”), or a person or entity prohibited by any OFAC sanctions program, (ii) owned, directly or indirectly, or controlled by, or acting on behalf of, one or more persons that are named on the OFAC Lists; (iii) organized, incorporated, established, located, resident or born in, or a citizen, national or the government, including any political subdivision, agency or instrumentality thereof, of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria, the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk regions of Ukraine or any other country or territory embargoed or subject to substantial trade restrictions by the United States, (iv) a Designated National as defined in the Cuban Assets

(the “BSA”), as amended by the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001 (the “PATRIOT Act”), and its implementing regulations (collectively, the “BSA/PATRIOT Act”), the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to comply with applicable obligations under the BSA/PATRIOT Act. To the extent required, it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed for the screening of its investors against the OFAC sanctions programs, including, without limitation, the OFAC List. To the extent required by applicable law, the Investor maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure that the funds held by the Investor and used to purchase the PIPE Securities and any Warrant Shares were legally derived and were not obtained, directly or indirectly, from a Prohibited Investor.

o. The Investor acknowledges that neither the Placement Agent, nor any of its respective affiliates nor any control persons, officers, directors, employees, partners, agents or representatives of any of the foregoing have made any independent investigation with respect to ListCo, ARYA, the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, or the PIPE Securities or the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to the Investor by ListCo, ARYA or the Company, as applicable.

q. The Investor does not have, as of the date hereof, and during the thirty (30) day period immediately prior to the date hereof such Investor has not entered into, any “put equivalent position” as such term is defined in Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act or short sale positions with respect to the securities of ARYA. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no direct knowledge of the investment decisions made by the portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, the representation set forth above shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

r. The Investor is not currently (and at all times through Closing will refrain from being or becoming) a member of a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act or any successor provision) acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of ARYA (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act), other than a group consisting solely of the Investor and its affiliates.

Ann. I-10

u. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that no Placement Agent shall have any liability or obligation (including without limitation, for or with respect to any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred by the Investor, ListCo, ARYA or any other person or entity), whether in contract, tort or otherwise, to the Investor, or to any person claiming through the Investor, in respect of this offering of the PIPE Securities or the Transaction.

8. Registration Rights.

a. In the event that the Shares and the Warrant Shares (such securities, the “PIPE Registrable Securities”) are not registered in connection with the consummation of the Transaction, ListCo agrees that, within forty-five (45) calendar days after the consummation of the Transaction (the “Filing Date”), it will file with the SEC (at its sole cost and expense) a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) registering the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities, and it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) calendar days after the filing thereof (or one hundred-twenty (120) calendar days after the filing thereof if the SEC notifies ListCo that it will “review” the Registration Statement) following the Filing Date and (ii) ten (10) business days after ListCo is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. ListCo agrees to cause such Registration Statement, or another shelf registration statement that includes the PIPE Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, to remain effective until the earliest of (i) the date that is five years and six months following the Closing, (ii) the date on which the Investor ceases to hold any PIPE Registrable Securities or any Pre-Funded Warrants or Warrants issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement, or (iii) on the first date on which the Investor is able to sell all of its PIPE Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares received in exchange therefor) under Rule 144 within 90 days without the public information, volume or manner limitations of such rule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the SEC prevents ListCo from including any or all of the shares proposed to be registered under the Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 of the Securities Act for the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities by the applicable stockholders or otherwise, such Registration Statement shall register for resale such number of PIPE Registrable Securities which is equal to the maximum number of PIPE Registrable Securities as is permitted by the SEC. In such event, the number of PIPE Registrable Securities to be registered for each selling stockholder named in the Registration Statement shall be reduced pro rata among all such selling stockholders. In no event shall the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement unless in response to a comment or request from the staff of the SEC or another regulatory agency; provided, however, that if the SEC requests that the Investor be identified as a statutory underwriter in the Registration Statement, the Investor will have an opportunity to withdraw from the Registration Statement. The Investor agrees to disclose its ownership to ListCo upon request to assist it in making the determination described above. If the PIPE Registrable Securities are eligible to be sold under Rule 144 within 90 days without the public information, volume or manner limitations of such rule, or the Registration Statement covering the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities is effective (and the Investor and its broker provide ListCo and its transfer agent with customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to ListCo and its transfer agent in connection therewith), then at the Investor’s request, ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its transfer agent to remove the restrictive legend described in Section 7(b) from the PIPE Registrable Securities. For as long as the Registration Statement shall remain effective pursuant to this Section 8(a), ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to (1) qualify the PIPE Registrable Securities for listing on the Stock Exchange and (2) update or amend the Registration Statement as necessary to include the Shares sold hereby for resale. For as long as the Investor holds the PIPE Registrable Securities, ListCo will use commercially reasonable efforts to file all reports, and provide all customary and reasonable cooperation, necessary to enable the Investor to resell the PIPE Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or Rule 144 (when Rule 144 becomes available to the Investor), as applicable. ListCo may amend the Registration Statement so as to convert the Registration Statement to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 at such time after ListCo becomes eligible to use such Form S-3. The Investor acknowledges and agrees that ListCo may suspend the use of any such Registration Statement if it determines that in order for such Registration Statement not to contain a material misstatement or omission, an amendment thereto would be needed, if such filing would require the inclusion, in such Registration Statement, of financial statements that are unavailable to ListCo for reasons beyond ListCo’s control or use could materially affect a bona fide business or financing transaction of ListCo or would require premature disclosure of information that would adversely affect ListCo and that would at that time not

Ann. I-11

otherwise be required in a current, quarterly, or annual report under the Exchange Act; provided, that (i) ListCo shall not so delay filing or so suspend the use of a registration statement for a period of more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than a total of one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days, in each case in any three hundred and sixty (360) day period and (ii) ListCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such Registration Statement available for the sale by the Investor of such securities as soon as practicable thereafter. ListCo’s obligations to include the PIPE Registrable Securities issued pursuant to this Subscription Agreement (or shares issued in exchange therefor) for resale in the Registration Statement are contingent upon the Investor furnishing in writing to ListCo such information regarding the Investor, the securities of ListCo held by the Investor and the intended method of disposition of such PIPE Registrable Securities, which shall be limited to non-underwritten public offerings, as shall be reasonably requested by ListCo to effect the registration of such PIPE Registrable Securities, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as ListCo may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.

b. ListCo shall advise the Investor within two (2) business days (at ListCo’s expense): (i) when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective; (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any Registration Statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (iv) of the receipt by ListCo of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the PIPE Registrable Securities included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (v) subject to the provisions in this Subscription Agreement, of the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or prospectus so that, as of such date, the statements therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Upon receipt of any written notice from ListCo (which notice shall not contain any material non-public information regarding ListCo) of the happening of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of the occurrence of such event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, the Investor agrees that (1) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the PIPE Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until the Investor receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which ListCo agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by ListCo that it may resume such offers and sales, and (2) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by ListCo except (A) for disclosure to the Investor’s employees, agents and professional advisers who need to know such information and are obligated to keep it confidential, (B) for disclosures to the extent required in order to comply with reporting obligations to its limited partners who have agreed to keep such information confidential and (C) as required by law or subpoena. ListCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as soon as reasonably practicable. Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in clauses (ii) through (v) above, except for such times as ListCo is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of a prospectus forming part of a Registration Statement, ListCo shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to as soon as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the PIPE Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

c. Indemnification.

(i) ListCo agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, the Investor, its directors, and officers, employees, and agents, and each person who controls the Investor (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) and each affiliate of the Investor (within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged

Ann. I-12

untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus included in any Registration Statement (“Prospectus”) or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to ListCo by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein.

(ii) The Investor agrees, severally and not jointly with any other person that is a party to the Other Subscription Agreements, to indemnify and hold harmless ListCo, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls ListCo (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Investor expressly for use therein. In no event shall the liability of the Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the PIPE Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(iii) Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (1) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (2) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent. An indemnifying party who elects not to assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to any indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (1) cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement), (2) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation, or (3) contains any statement of fault or culpability.

(iv) The indemnification provided for under this Subscription Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, employee, agent, affiliate or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the PIPE Registrable Securities.

(v) If the indemnification provided under this Section 8(c) from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by or on behalf of, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this Section 8(c) from any person who was not guilty

Ann. I-13

of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the liability of the Investor pursuant to this Section 8(c)(v) be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the PIPE Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation, and such obligations of the Investor shall be several and not joint.

9. Termination. This Subscription Agreement shall terminate and be void and of no further force and effect, and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any further liability on the part of any party in respect thereof, upon the earliest to occur of (a) such date and time as the Transaction Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (b) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties hereto to terminate this Subscription Agreement, (c) ListCo’s notification to the Investor in writing that it has, with the written consent of the Company, abandoned its plans to move forward with the Transaction and/or terminated the Investor’s obligations with respect to the subscription without the delivery of the Shares having occurred, and (d) the delivery of a notice of termination of this Subscription Agreement by the Investor to ListCo and ARYA on the Termination Date (as defined in the Transaction Agreement), if the Closing has not occurred by the Termination Date (provided, that the right to terminate this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this clause (d) shall not be available to the Investor if the Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Subscription Agreement (or if an affiliate of the Investor is an Other Investor, and such Other Investor’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under an Other Subscription Agreement), either individually or in the aggregate, shall have proximately caused the failure of the consummation of the Transaction on or before the Termination Date) (the termination events described in clauses (a)–(d) above, collectively, the “Termination Events”); provided that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of any covenant, agreement, obligation, representation or warranty hereunder prior to the time of termination, and each party will be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from any such willful and material breach. ListCo shall notify the Investor of the termination of the Transaction Agreement as promptly as practicable after the termination of the Transaction Agreement. Upon the occurrence of any Termination Event, this Subscription Agreement shall be void and of no further effect and any monies paid by the Investor to ListCo in connection herewith shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) business day) following the Termination Event be returned to the Investor.

10. Trust Account Waiver. The Investor acknowledges that ARYA is a blank check company with the powers and privileges to effect a merger, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination involving ARYA and one or more businesses or assets. The Investor further acknowledges that, as described in ARYA’s final prospectus relating to its initial public offering dated February 25, 2021 (the “Final Prospectus”) available at www.sec.gov, substantially all of ARYA’s assets consist of the cash proceeds of ARYA’s initial public offering and private placement of its securities, and substantially all of those proceeds have been deposited in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) for the benefit of ARYA, its public shareholders and the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering. Except with respect to interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account that may be released to ARYA to pay its tax obligations, if any, the cash in the Trust Account may be disbursed only for the purposes set forth in the Final Prospectus. For and in consideration of ARYA entering into this Subscription Agreement, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Investor, on behalf of itself and its representatives, hereby irrevocably waives any and all right, title and interest, or any claim of any kind it has or may have in the future, in or to any monies held in the Trust Account (or distributions therefrom to ARYA’s public shareholders or to the underwriters of ARYA’s initial public offering in respect of their deferred underwriting commissions held in the Trust Account), and agrees not to seek recourse against the Trust Account as a result of, or arising out of, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10 shall be deemed to limit the Investor’s right, title, interest or claim to any monies held in the Trust Account by virtue of its record or beneficial ownership of publicly traded Class A Shares acquired in an open market transaction, pursuant to a validly exercised redemption right with respect to any such Class A Shares, in accordance with ARYA’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, as amended in connection with the shareholder meeting of ARYA on February 28, 2023 and as may be subsequently amended from time to time, and the Investment Management Trust Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company and ARYA, dated March 2, 2021, except to the extent that the Investor has otherwise agreed in writing with ListCo, ARYA, the Company or any of their respective affiliates to not exercise such redemption right.

11. Miscellaneous.

a. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Investor hereunder (other than the PIPE Securities acquired hereunder and the rights set forth in Section 8 solely in connection with a transfer of such PIPE Securities (other than a transfer in connection with a sale pursuant to either an effective registration statement or under Rule 144), if any) may be transferred or assigned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after notifying ListCo, Investor may assign its rights and obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its affiliates (including other investment funds or accounts managed or advised by the investment manager who acts on behalf of Investor) or, with the Company’s prior written consent, to another person, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Investor of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee fails to perform such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Warrants may not be transferred by the holder thereof following their issuance.

b. ListCo may request from the Investor such additional information as ListCo may deem necessary to register the resale of the PIPE Registrable Securities and evaluate the eligibility of the Investor to acquire the PIPE Securities, and the Investor shall provide any such information as may be reasonably requested. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other covenants or agreements in this Subscription Agreement, the Investor acknowledges that ListCo and ARYA may file a copy of this Subscription Agreement, the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Agreement with the SEC as an exhibit to a periodic report or a registration statement of ListCo or ARYA.

c. The Investor acknowledges that ListCo, ARYA, the Company, the Placement Agent and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement, including Schedule A hereto. Prior to the Closing, the Investor agrees to promptly notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent in writing if any of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in Section 7 above are no longer accurate in any material respect (other than those acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties qualified by materiality, in which case the Investor shall notify ListCo, ARYA, the Company and the Placement Agent if they are no longer accurate in any respect). The Investor acknowledges and agrees that each purchase by the Investor of PIPE Securities from ListCo will constitute a reaffirmation of the acknowledgments, understandings, agreements, representations and warranties herein by the Investor as of the time of such purchase.

d. The Investor agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Subscription Agreement, none of the Investor or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or pursuant to any understanding with the Investor will engage in any hedging or other transactions or arrangements (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or similar instrument, including without limitation equity repurchase agreements and securities lending arrangements, however described or defined) designed or intended, or which could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in, a sale, loan, pledge or other disposition or transfer (whether by the Investor or any other person), in each case, solely to the extent it has the same economic effect as a “short sale” (as defined in Rule 200 promulgated under Regulation SHO under the Exchange Act), of any economic consequences of ownership (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any consequences resulting solely from foreign exchange fluctuations), in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, physically or synthetically, of any PIPE Securities or any securities of ARYA prior to the Closing, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of securities of ARYA, in cash or otherwise, or to publicly disclose the intention to undertake any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 11(d) shall not apply to long sales (including sales of securities held by the Investor, its controlled affiliates or any person or entity acting on behalf of the Investor or any of its controlled affiliates prior to the date hereof and securities purchased by the Investor in the open market after the date hereof) other than those effectuated through derivative transactions and similar instruments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11(d) (i) shall prohibit any entities under common management with the Investor that have no knowledge (constructive or otherwise) of this Subscription Agreement or of Investor’s participation in the transactions contemplated hereby from entering into any of the transactions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11(d); and (ii) in the case of an Investor that is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of such Investor’s assets and the portfolio managers have no knowledge of the investment decisions made by the

Ann. I-15

portfolio managers managing other portions of such Investor’s assets, this Section 11(d) shall only apply with respect to the portion of assets managed by the portfolio manager that made the investment decision to purchase the PIPE Securities covered by this Subscription Agreement.

e. ListCo, ARYA and the Placement Agent are each entitled to rely upon this Subscription Agreement and each is irrevocably authorized to produce this Subscription Agreement or a copy hereof to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceeding or official inquiry with respect to the matters covered hereby; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this Section 11(e) shall not give the Placement Agent any rights other than those expressly set forth herein and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be entitled to rely on any of the representations and warranties of ListCo or ARYA set forth in this Subscription Agreement.

f. All of the agreements, representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.

g. This Subscription Agreement may not be terminated other than pursuant to the terms of Section 9 above. The provisions of this Subscription Agreement may not be modified, amended or waived except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto; provided, however, that no modification, amendment or waiver by ListCo of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall be effective without the prior written consent of ARYA (other than modifications, amendments or waivers that are solely ministerial in nature or otherwise immaterial and, in each case, do not affect any economic or any other material term of this Subscription Agreement). No failure or delay of either party hereto in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have hereunder.

h. This Subscription Agreement (including, without limitation, the schedule hereto and each of the Pre-Funded Warrant Agreement and the Warrant Agreement attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Except as set forth in Section 3(b), Section 7, Section 9, Section 11(c), Section 11(e), Section 11(g), this Section 11(h) and the last sentence of Section 11(l) with respect to the persons specifically referenced therein, this Subscription Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns, and the parties hereto acknowledge that such persons so referenced are third party beneficiaries of this Subscription Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

i. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns.

j. If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.

k. This Subscription Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts (including, without limitation, by facsimile or electronic mail or in .pdf) and by different parties in separate counterparts, with the same effect as if all parties hereto had signed the same document. All counterparts so executed and delivered shall be construed together and shall constitute one and the same agreement.

l. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Subscription Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Subscription Agreement, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of

Ann. I-16

damages, to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Subscription Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Company shall be entitled to seek to specifically enforce the Investor’s obligations to fund the Subscription Amount, ListCo’s obligations under this Subscription Agreement and the provisions of the Subscription Agreement of which the Company is an express third party beneficiary, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

m. Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder to be given to the Investor shall be in writing and either delivered personally, emailed or sent by overnight mail via a reputable overnight carrier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, to such address(es) or email address(es) set forth on the signature page hereto, and shall be deemed to be given and received (i) when so delivered personally, (ii) when sent, with no mail undeliverable or other rejection notice, if sent by email, or (iii) three (3) business days after the date of mailing to the address below or to such other address or addresses as the Investor may hereafter designate by notice given hereunder:

1. Warrants.

a. Form of Warrant. This Warrant, together with all of the other warrants to purchase Common Stock (such shares of Common Stock, the “Warrant Shares”) issued pursuant to the Other Subscription Agreements, including any warrants issued upon the transfer of such warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”), shall be issued in certificated form.

b. Registration.

(i) Warrant Register. The Company shall maintain books (the “Warrant Register”), for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of this Warrant. Upon the initial issuance of this Warrant, the Company shall issue and register this Warrant in the name of the Holder. The Company shall provide 30 days’ prior written notice to the Holder of any appointment of or change in warrant agent and the new warrant agent’s contact information, including if the Company shall itself directly maintain the Warrant Register after a third-party warrant agent has been appointed.

This Warrant shall be signed by the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Secretary or other principal officer of the Company. In the event the person whose signature has been placed upon this Warrant shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Warrant before such Warrant is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.

(ii) Registered Holder. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Warrant, the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name such Warrant is registered in the Warrant Register (the “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Warrant and of each Warrant represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on any physical certificate made by anyone other than the Company), for the purpose of any exercise thereof, and for all other purposes, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

(iii) Registration of Transfer. Subject to compliance with the legend set forth on the face of this Warrant, the Company shall register the valid transfer, in whole or in part, from time to time, of this Warrant upon the Warrant Register, upon surrender of this Warrant for transfer and a duly completed and executed written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Registered Holder or its agent or attorney. Upon any such transfer, a new Warrant representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants shall be issued and the old Warrant shall be cancelled by the Company. Upon any partial transfer, the Company shall at its expense issue and deliver to the Registered Holder a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Registered Holder, which shall be exercisable for such number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which rights under this Warrant were not so transferred. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Registered Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company unless the Registered Holder has assigned this Warrant in full, in which case, the Registered Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company within two (2) Trading Days of the date on which the Registered Holder delivers a duly completed and executed written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Company assigning this Warrant in full.

(iv) Transferability. This Warrant may not be transferred except for transfers to an affiliate (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) of the Holder or with the written consent of the Company.

c. Procedure for Surrender of Warrants. This Warrant may be surrendered to the Company, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Company shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Warrants as requested by the Registered Holder of the Warrants so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Warrants; provided, however, that if the Warrant so surrendered bears a restrictive legend, the Company shall not cancel such Warrant and issue new Warrants in exchange thereof until the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Warrants must also bear a restrictive legend.

Ann. J-2

2. Terms and Exercise of Warrants.

a. Warrant Price. This Warrant shall entitle the Registered Holder, subject to the provisions hereof, to purchase from the Company the number of shares of Common Stock set forth above, at the price of $10.00 per share, subject to the adjustments provided in Section 3 hereof. The term “Warrant Price” as used in this Warrant shall mean the price per share of each Warrant Share that may be purchased at the time the Warrant is exercised.

b. Duration of Warrants. A Warrant may be exercised only during the period (the “Exercise Period”) commencing on the Original Issue Date, and terminating at 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the date that is five (5) years after the Original Issue Date; provided, however, that the exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to the satisfaction of any applicable conditions set forth in this Warrant. Each outstanding Warrant not exercised on or before the Expiration Date shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under such outstanding Warrant shall cease at 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Expiration Date.

c. Exercise of Warrants.

(i) Payment. Subject to the provisions hereof, this Warrant may be exercised by the Registered Holder hereof, in whole or in part, at any time or times on or after the initial issuance date during the Exercise Period, by delivery of a duly executed PDF copy submitted by e-mail (or e-mail attachment) of the Notice of Warrant Exercise attached hereto as Exhibit A, duly executed, and by paying in full the Warrant Price for each full Warrant Share as to which this Warrant is exercised, the exchange of this Warrant for Warrant Shares and the issuance of such Warrant Shares in lawful money of the United States, by (i) wire transfer or in good certified check or good bank draft payable to the Company or (ii) or by “cashless exercise” in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) below. No ink-original Notice of Exercise shall be required, nor shall any medallion guarantee (or other type of guarantee or notarization) of any Notice of Exercise be required. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Registered Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Warrant to the Company until the Registered Holder has purchased all of the Warrant Shares available hereunder and the Warrant has been exercised in full, in which case, the Registered Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company for cancellation within five (5) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company. Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver any objection to any Notice of Exercise Form within one (1) trading day of receipt of such notice. The Registered Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Warrant, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following the purchase of a portion of the Warrant Shares hereunder, the number of Warrant Shares available for purchase hereunder at any given time may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.

(1) Cashless Exercise. If at the time of exercise hereof following the one-year anniversary of the Form 10 Disclosure Filing Date (as defined below) there is no effective registration statement registering the Warrant Shares, or the prospectus contained therein is not available for the resale of the Warrant Shares by the Registered Holder, then this Warrant may also be exercised, in whole or in part, at such time by means of a “cashless exercise” in which the Registered Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of Warrant Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing [(A-B) (X)] by (A), where:

(A) =
as applicable: (i) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice of Exercise is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Registered Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise or (z) the Bid Price of the Common Stock on the principal Stock Exchange as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) as of the time of the Registered Holder’s execution of the applicable Notice of Exercise if such Notice

Ann. J-3

of Exercise is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter (including until two (2) hours after the close of “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day) pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(a) hereof or (iii) the VWAP on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise if the date of such Notice of Exercise is a Trading Day and such Notice of Exercise is both executed and delivered pursuant to subsection 2.3.1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day;

(B) =
the Exercise Price of this Warrant, as adjusted hereunder; and

(X) =
the number of Warrant Shares that would be issuable upon exercise of the portion of this Warrant specified in the Notice of Exercise in accordance with the terms of this Warrant if such exercise were by means of a cash exercise rather than a cashless exercise.

If Warrant Shares are issued in such a cashless exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the holding period of the Warrant Shares being issued may be tacked on to the holding period of this Warrant. The Company agrees not to take any position contrary to this subsection 2.3.1(a).

“Bid Price” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Stock Exchange, the bid price of the Common Stock for the time in question (or the nearest preceding date) on the Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Stock Exchange, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

“VWAP” means, for any date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies: (a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Stock Exchange, the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Stock Exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg (based on a Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City time)), (b) if OTCQB or OTCQX is not a Stock Exchange, the volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date) on OTCQB or OTCQX as applicable, (c) if the Common Stock is not then listed or quoted for trading on OTCQB or OTCQX and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported on The Pink Open Market (or a similar organization or agency succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per share of the Common Stock so reported, or (d) in all other cases, the fair market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent appraiser selected in good faith by the Purchasers of a majority in interest of the Securities then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the fees and expenses of which shall be paid by the Company.

“Form 10 Disclosure Filing Date” means the date on which the Company shall file with the SEC a Current Report on Form 8-K (or any other applicable form) that includes current “Form 10 information” (within the meaning of Rule 144) reflecting the Company’s status as an entity that is no longer an issuer described in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of Rule 144.

(2) Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Registered Holder or in such name or names

Ann. J-4

as may be directed by the Registered Holder; provided, however, that, in the event that Warrant Shares are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Registered Holder, this Warrant when surrendered for exercise shall be accompanied by the Assignment Form attached hereto as Exhibit B duly executed by the Registered Holder and the Company may require, as a condition thereto, the payment of a sum sufficient to reimburse it for any transfer tax incidental thereto.

(ii) Issuance of Warrant Shares on Exercise. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant and the clearance of the funds in payment of the Warrant Price (if payment is pursuant to subsection (i)), the Company shall issue to the Registered Holder a book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, for the number of shares of Warrant Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it, and if this Warrant shall not have been exercised in full, a new countersigned Warrant for the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant shall not have been exercised. If at the time of exercise of this Warrant, the Warrant Shares are not registered for resale pursuant to the Securities Act then such purchased Warrant Shares issued to a Registered Holder upon payment of the Warrant Price pursuant to subsection (i) shall bear a restrictive legend in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C. Warrants may not be exercised by, or securities issued to, any Registered Holder in any state in which such exercise would be unlawful. In the event that a Registered Holder reasonably determines that a consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or under any other applicable antitrust or competition Laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction or any other merger control or investment Laws (collectively, “Antitrust Laws”) is required, then the making of any appropriate filings, the taking or causing to be taken of any required actions, and the expiration or the termination of the applicable waiting period, review period or comparable period, in each case as applicable under any such applicable Antitrust Laws, shall be a condition to the issuance of the Common Stock and the Company shall provide all reasonable assistance requested by the Registered Holder in connection with any required filings or actions under the applicable Antitrust Laws. The Company shall not take any action that would cause a Registered Holder’s ownership percentage of voting securities of the Company (as defined or interpreted under the applicable Antitrust Laws) to increase without providing notice to such Registered Holders for each to determine whether any filing, consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with any Governmental Entity could be triggered under the applicable Antitrust Laws by the proposed Company action. If any Registered Holder determines that the proposed Company action requires clearance, approval or authorization under the applicable Antitrust Laws, then the obtaining of required clearance, approval or authorization, or the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period, review period or comparable period, as applicable, under the applicable Antitrust Laws shall be a condition to the Company taking its proposed action. If at any time a Registered Holder determines that it has a filing requirement or other requirement or obligation under the applicable Antitrust Laws, then the Company shall provide all reasonable assistance to such Registered Holder as reasonably requested by that Registered Holder in connection with any required filings or actions to be made or taken under the applicable Antitrust Laws. “Governmental Entity” as used in this subsection 2.3.2 shall mean any United States or non-United States (a) federal, state, local, municipal or other government, (b) governmental or quasi-governmental entity of any nature (including any governmental agency, branch, department, official, or entity and any court or other tribunal) or (c) body exercising or entitled to exercise any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, police, regulatory, or taxing authority or power of any nature, including notified bodies as well as any arbitral tribunal (public or private). “Law” as used in this subsection 2.3.2 means any federal, state, local, foreign, national or supranational statute, law (including common law and, if applicable, fiduciary or similar duties), act, statute, ordinance, treaty, rule, code, regulation or other binding directive or guidance issued, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Entity having jurisdiction over a given matter.

(iii) Valid Issuance. All Warrant Shares issued upon the proper exercise of this Warrant shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges created by the Company in respect of the issue thereof (other than taxes in respect of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such issue).

(iv) Date of Issuance. Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate, as applicable, Warrant Shares are issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares of Common Stock on the date on which this Warrant was surrendered and payment of the

Ann. J-5

Warrant Price was made, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company or book-entry system of the Company’s transfer agent are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares of Common Stock at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books or book-entry system are open.

(v) Delivery of Certificates upon Exercise. Certificates for shares purchased hereunder shall be transmitted by the Transfer Agent to the Registered Holder by crediting the account of the Registered Holder’s or its designee’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Company through its Deposit or Withdrawal at Custodian system (“DWAC”) if the Company is then a participant in such system and either (A) there is an effective registration statement permitting the issuance of the Warrant Shares to or resale of the Warrant Shares by the Registered Holder or (B) the Warrant Shares are eligible for resale by the Registered Holder without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming cashless exercise of the Warrants) (and the Registered Holder and its broker provide the Company and its transfer agent with customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and its transfer agent in connection therewith), and otherwise by physical delivery of a certificate, registered in the Company’s share register in the name of the Registered Holder or its designee, for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the address specified by the Registered Holder in the Notice of Exercise by the date that is by the date that is the earliest of (i) two (2) Trading Days after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise, (ii) one (1) Trading Day after delivery of the aggregate Exercise Price to the Company and (iii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period after the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Exercise (such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”). Upon delivery of the Notice of Exercise, the Registered Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date of delivery of the Warrant Shares, provided that payment of the aggregate Exercise Price (other than in the case of a cashless exercise) is received within the earlier of (i) two (2) Trading Days and (ii) the number of Trading Days comprising the Standard Settlement Period following delivery of the Notice of Exercise. If the Company fails for any reason to deliver to the Registered Holder the Warrant Shares subject to a Notice of Exercise by the second Trading Day after Warrant Share Delivery Date, the Company shall pay to the Registered Holder, in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, for each $1,000 of Warrant Shares subject to such exercise (based on the VWAP of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Notice of Exercise), $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading Day on the fifth Trading Day after the Warrant Share Delivery Date) for each Trading Day after such Warrant Share Delivery Date until such Warrant Shares are delivered or Holder rescinds such exercise. The Company agrees to maintain a transfer agent that is a participant in the FAST program so long as this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable. As used herein, “Standard Settlement Period” means the standard settlement period, expressed in a number of Trading Days, on the Company’s primary Stock Exchange with respect to the Common Stock as in effect on the date of delivery of the Notice of Exercise.

(vi) Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Registered Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares pursuant to Section 2.3.4 by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Registered Holder will have the right to rescind such exercise.

(vii) Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Exercise. In addition to any other rights available to the Registered Holder, if the Company fails to cause the Transfer Agent to transmit to the Registered Holder a certificate or the certificates representing the Warrant Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3.4 above pursuant to an exercise on or before the Warrant Share Delivery Date, and if after such date the Registered Holder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise) or the Registered Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Registered Holder of the Warrant Shares which the Registered Holder anticipated receiving upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall (A) pay in cash to the Registered Holder the amount, if any, by which (x) the Registered Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying (1) the number of Warrant Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Registered Holder in connection with the exercise at issue times (2) the price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed, and (B) at the option of the

Ann. J-6

Registered Holder, either reinstate the portion of the Warrant and equivalent number of Warrant Shares for which such exercise was not honored (in which case such exercise shall be deemed rescinded) or deliver to the Registered Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued had the Company timely complied with its exercise and delivery obligations hereunder. For example, if the Registered Holder purchases Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted exercise of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate sale price giving rise to such purchase obligation of $10,000, under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence the Company shall be required to pay the Registered Holder $1,000. The Registered Holder shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Registered Holder in respect of the Buy-In and, upon request of the Company, evidence of the amount of such loss. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

3. Adjustments.

a. Stock Dividends.

(i) Split-Ups. If after the Original Issue Date, and subject to the provisions of 3.f below, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased by a stock dividend payable in shares of Common Stock, or by a split-up of shares of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such stock dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of the Common Stock entitling holders to purchase shares of Common Stock at a price less than the Fair Market Value (as defined in this subsection 3.a(i)) shall be deemed a stock dividend of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for the Common Stock) and (ii) one (1) minus the quotient of (x) the price per share of Common Stock paid in such rights offering divided by (y) the Fair Market Value. For purposes of this subsection 3.a(i), (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock, in determining the price payable for shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “Fair Market Value” means the volume weighted average price of the shares of Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Common Stock trades on the Stock Exchange, without the right to receive such rights.

(ii) Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the shares of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 3.a(i) above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Warrant Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 3.a(ii), “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 3 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of Warrant Shares issuable on exercise of this Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.

b. Aggregation of Shares. If after the Original Issue Date, and subject to the provisions of 3.f hereof, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse stock

Ann. J-7

split or reclassification of Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant shall be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Common Stock.

c. Adjustments in Exercise Price. Whenever the number of Warrant Shares purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant is adjusted, as provided in subsection 3.a(i) or 3.b above, the Warrant Price shall be adjusted (to the nearest cent) by multiplying such Warrant Price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of Warrant Shares of Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such adjustment, and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

d. Replacement of Securities upon Reorganization, etc. In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a change under subsections 3.a(i) or 3.a(ii) or 3.b hereof or that solely affects the par value of such Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity or conversion of the Company as another entity (other than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding shares of Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another entity of the assets or other property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which the Company is dissolved, the Registered Holder shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Warrant and in lieu of the Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of shares of stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the Registered Holder would have received if the Registered Holder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to such event (the “Alternative Issuance”) and the Company shall not enter into any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance unless the successor or purchasing entity agrees to provide for delivery of such Alternative Issuance; If any reclassification or reorganization also results in a change in shares of Common Stock covered by subsection 3.a(i), then such adjustment shall be made pursuant to subsection 3.a(i), 3.b, 3.c and this 3.d. The provisions of this 3.d shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers or consolidations, sales or other transfers. In no event will the Warrant Price be reduced to less than the par value per share issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

e. Notices of Changes in Warrant. Upon every adjustment of the Warrant Price or the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of a Warrant, or upon the occurrence of any event specified in Sections a, b, c or d, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Registered Holders, at the last address set forth for each such Registered Holder in the Warrant Register, of the record date or the effective date of the event. The notice shall state the adjusted Warrant Price, if applicable, and the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of Warrant Shares purchasable at such price upon the exercise of a Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.

f. No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Warrant to the contrary, the Company shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, by reason of any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3, the Registered Holder would be entitled, upon the exercise of this Warrant, to receive a fractional interest in a share, the Company shall, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to the Registered Holder.

4. Other Provisions Relating to Rights of Holders of Warrants.

a. No Rights as Stockholder. This Warrant does not entitle the Registered Holder to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

b. Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Warrants. If this Warrant is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as it may in its sole discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Warrant, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Warrant of like

Ann. J-8

denomination, tenor, and date as this Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilate or destroyed. Any such new Warrant shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Warrant shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.

c. Reservation of Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that shall be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Warrants issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company will take all such reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Stock Exchange upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

5. Miscellaneous Provisions.

a. Payment of Taxes. The Company shall from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company in respect of the issuance or delivery of Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the ownership of the Warrants or such underlying Common Stock.

b. Successors. All the covenants and provisions of this Warrant by or for the benefit of the Company or the Registered Holder shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

c. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Warrant shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given when so delivered if by hand or overnight delivery or if sent by certified mail or private courier service within five (5) days after deposit of such notice, postage prepaid, addressed as follows: (i) if to the Registered Holder, at his, her or its address as shown in the Warrant Register; and (ii) if to the Company, at its principal office, to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer. Any party may change its address for purposes of this section by giving the other party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.

d. Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, and performance of the Warrants shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction. The Company and the Registered Holder hereby agree that any action, proceeding or claim against either party arising out of or relating in any way to this Warrant shall be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of Delaware, and irrevocably submits to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive. The Company and the Registered Holder hereby waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction and that such courts represent an inconvenient forum.

e. Persons Having Rights under this Warrant. Nothing in this Warrant shall be construed to confer upon, or give to, any person or corporation other than the parties hereto any right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this Warrant or of any covenant, condition, stipulation, promise, or agreement hereof. All covenants, conditions, stipulations, promises, and agreements contained in this Warrant shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto.

g. Amendments. This Warrant may only be amended or modified by written instrument executed by both the Company and the Registered Holder.

h. Severability. This Warrant shall be deemed severable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of this Warrant or of any other term or provision hereof. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid or unenforceable term or provision, the parties hereto intend that there shall be added as a part of this Warrant a provision as similar in terms to such invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be valid and enforceable.

i. Complete Agreement. This Warrant (together with the Subscription Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Ann. J-9

j. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Registered Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Registered Holder for the purchase price of any Warrant Shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.

k. Remedies. The Registered Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Warrant. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Warrant and hereby agrees to waive and not to assert the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.

l. Nonwaiver and Expenses. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice the Registered Holder’s rights, powers or remedies, notwithstanding the fact that all rights hereunder terminate on the Termination Date. Without limiting any other provision of this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement, if the Company willfully and knowingly fails to comply with any provision of this Warrant, which results in any material damages to the Registered Holder, the Company shall pay to the Registered Holder such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover any costs and expenses including, but not limited to, reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees, including those of appellate proceedings, incurred by the Registered Holder in collecting any amounts due pursuant hereto or in otherwise enforcing any of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder.

m. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a trading day, then, such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding trading day.

Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [BUYER], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date up to     (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”, and such number of Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Number”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in the Subscription Agreement, dated as of [  ], 2024 (the “Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which this Warrant has been issued.

Ann. K-1

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date (an “Exercise Date”), in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via electronic mail or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined herein). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1^st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or a similar organization, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Date”) shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the Subscription Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), the Company

Ann. K-2

shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any resale of Warrant Shares with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled. From the Issuance Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $0.01, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) or (II) if a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Subscription Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number

Ann. K-3

of Warrant Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to participate in FAST. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1(a) by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if, at any time of exercise hereof, a Registration Statement (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the resale by the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

Net Number =	(A x B) - (A x C)
	B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = as elected by the Holder: (i) the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(c) hereof, or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

Ann. K-4

If the Warrant Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, the Warrant Shares take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised.

(e) [RESERVED].

(f) Limitations on Exercises. The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 19.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1)

Ann. K-5

of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(g) Reservation of Shares.

(i) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under this Warrant then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(g)(i) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise or redemption of this Warrant or such other event covered by Section 2(c) below.

(ii) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1(g)(i), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1(g)(ii); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1(g)(ii) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Subscription Agreement.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 2 or Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the date of the Subscription Agreement, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes

Ann. K-6

of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(b) Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the shares of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 2(a) above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 2(b), “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 2 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.

(c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section (c) or Section (b), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2(d) shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100^th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.

(e) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Holder (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

3. [RESERVED].

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the

Ann. K-7

grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 4(a) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

Ann. K-8

(c) Application. The provisions of this Section 4(c) shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation (as in effect on the Issuance Date) Bylaws (as in effect on the Issuance Date) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to exercise this Warrant in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 1(f) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such exercise into shares of Common Stock.

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

Ann. K-9

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment(s), (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, or (B) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder, and (iii) at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provides material non-public information to the Holder that is not simultaneously filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K and the Holder has not agreed to receive such material non-public information, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to any of the foregoing not to trade on the basis of, such material non-public information. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.

In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

11. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. This Warrant may be modified or amended, or the provisions hereof waived with the written consent of the Company and the Holder.

12. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal

Ann. K-10

obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

13. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

14. CONSTRUCTION; HEADINGS. This Warrant shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Company and the Holder and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof. The headings of this Warrant are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Warrant.

16. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 1(f) hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

17. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS.

AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and each Buyer hereby agree as follows:

1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF NOTES AND WARRANTS.

(a) Purchase of Notes and Warrants. Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below, the Company shall issue and sell to each Buyer, and each Buyer severally, but not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company on the Closing Date (as defined below) a Note in the original principal amount as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (3) on the Schedule of Buyers along with Warrants to initially acquire up to that aggregate number of Warrant Shares as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (4) on the Schedule of Buyers.

The date and time of the Closing (the “Closing Date”) shall be immediately following the time of the closing of the Business Combination on the Business Combination Closing Date, so long as the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below are satisfied or waived as of such date, and in any event no later than the first (1st) Business Day on which the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below are satisfied or waived (or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and each Buyer). As used herein “Business Day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in The City of New York are authorized or required by law to remain closed; provided, however, for clarification, commercial banks shall not be deemed to be authorized or required by law to remain closed due to “stay at home”, “shelter-in-place”, “non-essential employee” or any other similar orders or restrictions or the closure of any physical branch locations at the direction of any governmental authority so long as the electronic funds transfer systems (including for wire transfers) of commercial banks in The City of New York generally are open for use by customers on such day.

The aggregate purchase price for the Notes and the Warrants to be purchased by each Buyer (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the amount set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (5) on the Schedule of Buyers; provided, that to the extent set forth on the Schedule of Buyers, a Buyer may satisfy its payment of the Purchase Price, in whole or in part, through the cancellation of (or transfer to the Company of) outstanding Indebtedness of the applicable BC Party then held by such Buyer as specified opposite such Buyer’s name on the Schedule of Buyers attached hereto (each, a “Non-Cash Purchase Price Amount”). Each Buyer shall pay $1,000 for each $1,000 of principal amount of Notes and related Warrants to be purchased by such Buyer at the Closing. Each Buyer and the Company agree that the Notes and the Warrants constitute an “investment unit” for purposes of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Buyers and the Company agree that the allocation of the Purchase Price, which is the issue price of such investment unit, between the Notes and the Warrants in accordance with Section 1273(c)(2) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(h) shall be an aggregate amount of $187,500 allocated to the Warrants and the balance of the Purchase Price allocated to the Notes, and neither the Buyers nor the Company shall take any position inconsistent with such allocation in any tax return or in any judicial or administrative proceeding in respect of taxes.

(d) Form of Payment. On the Closing Date, (i) each Buyer shall pay its respective Purchase Price (less, in the case of any Buyer, the amounts withheld pursuant to Section 4(g) and any applicable Non-Cash Purchase

Ann. L-2

Price Amount) to the Company for the Notes and the Warrants to be issued and sold to such Buyer at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the Flow of Funds Letter (as defined below) and (ii) the Company shall deliver to each Buyer (A) a Note in the aggregate original principal amount as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (3) of the Schedule of Buyers, and (B) a Warrant pursuant to which such Buyer shall have the right to initially acquire up to such aggregate number of Warrant Shares as is set forth opposite such Buyer’s name in column (4) of the Schedule of Buyers, in each case, duly executed on behalf of the Company and registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee.

(i) No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Buyer of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the consummation by such Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Buyer, or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which such Buyer is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Buyer, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, defaults, rights or violations which could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of such Buyer to perform its obligations hereunder.

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries possess all material certificates, authorizations and permits (“Material Permits”) issued by the appropriate regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses, except where the failure to possess such certificates, authorizations or permits would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except as would not and would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) each Material Permit is in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and (ii) no written notice of suspension, limitation, revocation, cancellation, modification or termination of any Material Permit has been received by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, (i) except as disclosed on Schedule 3(s), has any outstanding debt securities, notes, credit agreements, credit facilities or other agreements, documents or instruments evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound, (ii) has any financing statements securing obligations in any amounts filed in connection with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; (iii) is in material violation of any term of, or in default under, any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Company Material Adverse Effect, or (iv) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or is expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries have any liabilities or obligations required to be disclosed in the SEC Documents which are not so disclosed in the SEC Documents, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ respective businesses and which, individually or in the aggregate, do not or could not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement: (x) “Indebtedness” of any Person means, without duplication (A) all indebtedness for borrowed money, (B) all obligations issued, undertaken or assumed as the deferred purchase price of property or services (including, without limitation, “capital leases” in accordance with GAAP) (other than trade payables entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice), (C) all reimbursement or payment obligations with respect to letters of credit, surety bonds and other similar instruments, (D) all obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or similar instruments, including obligations so evidenced incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, assets or businesses, (E) all indebtedness created or arising under any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, or incurred as financing, in either case with respect to any property or assets acquired with the proceeds of such indebtedness (even though the rights and remedies of the seller or bank under such agreement in the event of default are limited to repossession or sale of such property), (F) all monetary obligations under any leasing or similar arrangement which, in connection with GAAP, consistently applied for the periods covered thereby, is classified as a capital lease, (G) all indebtedness referred to in clauses (A) through (F) above secured by (or for which the holder of such Indebtedness has an existing right, contingent or otherwise, to be secured by) any Lien upon or in any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by any Person, even though the Person which owns such assets or property has not assumed or become liable for the payment of such indebtedness, and (H) all Contingent Obligations in respect of indebtedness or obligations of others of the kinds referred to in clauses (A) through (G) above; and (y) “Contingent Obligation” means, as to any Person, any direct or indirect

Ann. L-13

liability, contingent or otherwise, of that Person with respect to any Indebtedness, lease, dividend or other obligation of another Person if the primary purpose or intent of the Person incurring such liability, or the primary effect thereof, is to provide assurance to the obligee of such liability that such liability will be paid or discharged, or that any agreements relating thereto will be complied with, or that the holders of such liability will be protected (in whole or in part) against loss with respect thereto.

(t) Litigation. There is no action, suit, arbitration, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by the Principal Market, any court, public board, other Governmental Entity, self-regulatory organization or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that, if adversely decided or resolved, has been or would reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Neither the Company, its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective properties or assets is subject to any material order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Entity which would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(u) Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has been refused any insurance coverage sought or applied for, and neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will be unable to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(v) Employee Relations. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs any member of a union. The Company and its Subsidiaries believe that their relations with their employees are good. No executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) promulgated under the 1933 Act) or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has notified the Company or any such Subsidiary that such officer intends to leave the Company or any such Subsidiary or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with the Company or any such Subsidiary. No current (or former) executive officer or other key employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is, or is now expected to be, in violation of any material term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each such executive officer or other key employee (as the case may be) does not subject the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any liability with respect to any of the foregoing matters. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting labor, employment and employment practices and benefits, terms and conditions of employment and wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(w) Title.

(i) Real Property. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries holds good title to all real property, leases in real property, facilities or other interests in real property owned or held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Real Property”) owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as applicable). The Real Property is free and clear of all Liens and is not subject to any rights of way, building use restrictions, exceptions, variances, reservations, or limitations of any nature except for Permitted Liens (as defined in the Notes). Any Real Property held under lease by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(ii) Fixtures and Equipment. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as applicable) has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, the tangible personal property, equipment, improvements, fixtures, and other personal property and appurtenances that are used by the Company or its Subsidiary in connection with the conduct of its business (the “Fixtures and Equipment”) except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries owns all of its Fixtures and Equipment free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens.

Ann. L-14

(x) Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, original works of authorship, patents, patent rights, copyrights, inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights and all applications and registrations therefor (“Intellectual Property Rights”) necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted, except where the failure to so own or possess would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company does not have any knowledge of any infringement by the Company or its Subsidiaries of Intellectual Property Rights of others. There is no written claim, action or proceeding being made or brought, or to the knowledge of the Company, being threatened in writing, that is currently pending against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries regarding infringement of third party Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their material Intellectual Property Rights.

(y) Environmental Laws. (i) The Company and its Subsidiaries (A) are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws (as defined below), (B) have received all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses and (C) are in compliance with all terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each of the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), the failure to so comply could be reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants, contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(ii) No Hazardous Materials:

(A) have been disposed of or otherwise released from any Real Property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a Company Material Adverse Effect; or

(B) are present on, over, beneath, in or upon any Real Property or any portion thereof in quantities that would constitute a violation of any Environmental Laws. No prior use by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of any Real Property has occurred that violates any Environmental Laws, which violation would have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries knows of any other person who or entity which has stored, treated, recycled, disposed of or otherwise located on any Real Property any Hazardous Materials, including, without limitation, such substances as asbestos and polychlorinated biphenyls.

(iv) Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect, none of the Real Properties are on any federal or state “Superfund” list or Liability Information System (“CERCLIS”) list or any state environmental agency list of sites under consideration for CERCLIS, nor subject to any environmental related Liens.

(z) Subsidiary Rights. The Company or one of its Subsidiaries has the unrestricted right to vote, and (subject to limitations imposed by applicable law) to receive dividends and distributions on, all capital securities of its Subsidiaries as owned by the Company or such Subsidiary.

(aa) Tax Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries (i) has filed all material tax returns, reports and declarations required to have been filed by it with any Governmental Entity, and (ii) has paid all material taxes and other governmental assessments and charges, in each case in the nature of taxes, required to be paid by it that are shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being

Ann. L-15

contested in good faith. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed in writing to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company and its Subsidiaries know of no basis for any such claim. The Company is not operated in such a manner as to qualify as a passive foreign investment company, as defined in Section 1297 of the Code.

(bb) Internal Accounting and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintains internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the 1934 Act) that is effective to provide, in all material respects, reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability and (iii) the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's or each of its Subsidiaries' properties or assets could be prevented or timely detected. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the 1934 Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, including, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the 1934 Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer or officers and its principal financial officer or officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice from any accountant, Governmental Entity or other Person that there is a “material weakness” in the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or a “significant deficiency” in the internal controls over financial reporting of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(cc) Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. There is no transaction, arrangement, or other relationship between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and an unconsolidated or other off balance sheet entity that is required to be disclosed by the Company in its 1934 Act filings and is not so disclosed or that otherwise could be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(dd) Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the sale of the Securities will not be, an “investment company,” an affiliate of an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(ee) Acknowledgement Regarding Buyers’ Trading Activity.

The Company further understands and acknowledges that following the public disclosure of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents pursuant to the Press Release (as defined below) one or more Buyers may engage in hedging and/or trading activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock) at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, including, without limitation, during the periods that the value and/or number of the Warrant Shares or Conversion Shares, as applicable, deliverable with respect to the Securities are being determined and such hedging and/or trading

Ann. L-16

activities (including, without limitation, the location and/or reservation of borrowable shares of Common Stock), if any, can reduce the value of the existing stockholders’ equity interest in the Company both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Company acknowledges that such aforementioned hedging and/or trading activities, to the extent conducted in compliance with Section 4(dd), do not constitute a breach of this Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants or any other Transaction Document or any of the documents executed in connection herewith or therewith.

Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has, and, to the knowledge of the Company, no Person acting on their behalf has, directly or indirectly, (i) taken any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities (other than the Placement Agent), (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (iv) paid or agreed to pay any Person for research services with respect to any securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

3A REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SPAC

The SPAC represents and warrants to each of the Buyers, the Target and the Company that, as of the date hereof:

This Agreement has been, and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party will be prior to or upon the Closing, duly executed and delivered by the SPAC, and each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the SPAC (assuming that this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the SPAC is or will be a party are or will be upon execution thereof, as applicable, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the other Persons party thereto (if any)), enforceable against the SPAC in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies and except as rights to indemnification and to contribution may be limited by federal or state securities law.

As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the SPAC included in the SPAC SEC Documents complied in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect as of the time of filing, or, if amended, as of the date of such amendment. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the SPAC as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, (i) in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments which will not be material, either individually or in the aggregate, and (ii) changes to historical accounting policies of the SPAC in connection with any order, directive, guideline, comment or recommendation from the SEC that is applicable to the SPAC). To the knowledge of the SPAC, the investor presentation relating to the Business Combination attached hereto as Exhibit G does not as of the date hereof contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made. The SPAC is not currently contemplating to amend or restate any of the financial statements (including, without limitation, any notes or any letter of the independent accountants of the SPAC with respect thereto) included in the SPAC SEC Documents (the “SPAC Financial Statements”), nor is the SPAC currently aware of facts or circumstances which would require the SPAC to amend or restate any of the SPAC Financial Statements, in each case, in order for any of the SPAC Financials Statements to be in compliance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

(i) Disclosure of Transaction. The SPAC shall, on or before 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day after the Subscription Date, issue a press release (the “Press Release”) reasonably acceptable to the Buyers disclosing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. On or before 5:30 a.m., New York time, on the first (1st) Business Day after the Subscription Date, the SPAC shall file a Current Report on Form 8-K describing all the material terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and attaching all the material Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, this Agreement (and all schedules to this Agreement), the form of Notes, the form of the Warrants, the form of Guaranties, the form of Security Documents, the form of Investor Rights Agreement, and the form of the Registration Rights Agreement) (including all attachments, the “8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of the 8-K Filing, the SPAC shall have disclosed all material, non-public information (if any) provided to any of the Buyers by any BC Entity or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. In addition, effective upon the filing of the 8-K Filing, each BC Party acknowledges and agrees that any and all confidentiality or similar obligations under any agreement, whether written or oral, between any BC Entity or any of their respective officers, directors, affiliates, employees or agents, on the one hand, and any of the Buyers or any of their affiliates, on the other hand, shall terminate.

No BC Party shall, and the BC Parties shall cause each BC Entity and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents not to, provide any Buyer with any material, non-public information regarding any BC Entity from and after the date hereof without the express prior written consent of such Buyer (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion).

Ann. L-28

form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of such breach or such material, non-public information, as applicable, (provided that each BC Entity shall be consulted by such Buyer in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release). No Buyer shall have any liability to any BC Entity, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, stockholders or agents, for any such disclosure. To the extent that any BC Entity delivers any material, non-public information to a Buyer without such Buyer’s consent, each BC Party hereby covenants and agrees that such Buyer shall not have any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, such material, non-public information. Subject to the foregoing, neither the BC Entities nor any Buyer shall issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of any Buyer, to make the Press Release and any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the 8-K Filing and contemporaneously therewith, (ii) in a Form S-4 registration statement with respect to the Business Combination, (iii) in investor presentations relating to or in connection with the Business Combination and (iv) as is required by applicable law and regulations (provided that in the case of clause (i) each Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release).

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary and without implication that the contrary would otherwise be true, each BC Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that no Buyer shall have (unless expressly agreed to by a particular Buyer after the date hereof in a written definitive and binding agreement executed by the applicable BC Party and such particular Buyer (it being understood and agreed that no Buyer may bind any other Buyer with respect thereto)), any duty of confidentiality with respect to, or a duty not to trade on the basis of, any material, non-public information regarding any BC Entity.

(j) Additional Registration Statements. Until the Applicable Date (as defined below) and at any time thereafter while any Registration Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use or any Current Public Information Failure (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) exists, no BC Party shall file a registration statement or an offering statement under the 1933 Act relating to securities that are not the Registrable Securities (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the Business Combination, a registration statement on Form S-8, a registration statement filed pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined in the Notes), or such supplements or amendments the foregoing registration statements or to registration statements that are outstanding and have been declared effective by the SEC as of the date hereof (solely to the extent necessary to keep such registration statements effective and available and not with respect to any Subsequent Placement (as defined below))). “Applicable Date” means the earlier of (x) the first date on which the resale by the Buyers of all the Registrable Securities required to be filed on the initial Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement is declared effective by the SEC (and each prospectus contained therein is available for use on such date) or (y) the first date on which all of the Registrable Securities are eligible to be resold by the Buyers pursuant to Rule 144 (or, if a Current Public Information Failure has occurred and is continuing, such later date after which the Company has cured such Current Public Information Failure).

(k) Additional Issuance of Securities. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, issue any Notes (other than to the Buyers as contemplated hereby) and the Company shall not issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Notes or the Warrants.

(l) Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than

Ann. L-29

the sum of (i) 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all the Notes then outstanding (assuming for purposes hereof that (x) the Notes are convertible at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect, (y) interest on the Notes shall accrue through the forty-five month anniversary of the Closing Date and will be converted in shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect and (z) any such conversion shall not take into account any limitations on the conversion of the Notes set forth in the Notes), and (ii) the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 4(l) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any conversion, exercise and/or redemption, as applicable of Notes and Warrants. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount, the Company will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet the Company’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and voting the management shares of the Company in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of the Company to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserve Amount.

(m) Conduct of Business. The business of the BC Entities shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Entity, except where such violations would not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Other Notes; Variable Securities. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, each of the BC Entities shall be prohibited from effecting or entering into an agreement to effect any Subsequent Placement involving a Variable Rate Transaction (other than an equity line of credit provided by an investment bank or an “at-the-market” offering). “Variable Rate Transaction” means a transaction in which any BC Entity (i) issues or sells any Convertible Securities either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such Convertible Securities or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events directly or indirectly related to the business of one or more BC Entities or the market for the Common Stock, other than pursuant to a customary “weighted average” anti-dilution provision or (ii) enters into any agreement (other than an equity line of credit provided by an investment bank or an “at-the-market” offering) whereby one or more BC Entities may sell securities at a future determined price (other than standard and customary “preemptive” or “participation” rights). Each Buyer shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against any BC Entity to preclude any such issuance, which remedy shall be in addition to any right to collect damages. “Subsequent Placement” means any, direct or indirect, issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase, or otherwise dispose of (or announcement of any issuance, offer, sale, grant of any option or right to purchase or other disposition of) any equity security or any equity-linked or related security (including, without limitation, any “equity security” (as that term is defined under Rule 405 promulgated under the 1933 Act), any Convertible Securities (as defined below), any debt, any preferred stock or any purchase rights) of any BC Entity.

(o) Participation Right. At any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, no BC Entity shall, directly or indirectly, effect any Subsequent Placement unless the Company shall have first complied with this Section 4(o). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the right set forth in this Section 4(o) is a right granted by the Company, separately, to each Buyer.

(i) At least five (5) Trading Days prior to any proposed or intended Subsequent Placement, the Company shall deliver to each Buyer a written notice (each such notice, a “Pre-Notice”), which Pre-Notice shall not contain any information (including, without limitation, material, non-public information) other than: (A) if the proposed Offer Notice (as defined below) constitutes or contains material, non-public information, a statement asking whether the Investor is willing to accept material non-public information or (B) if the proposed Offer Notice does not constitute or contain material, non-public information, (x) a statement that the Company proposes or intends to effect a Subsequent Placement, (y) a statement that the statement in clause (x) above does not constitute material, non-public information and (z) a statement

Ann. L-30

informing such Buyer that it is entitled to receive an Offer Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Subsequent Placement upon its written request. Upon the written request of a Buyer within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s delivery to such Buyer of such Pre-Notice, and only upon a written request by such Buyer, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Trading Day after such request, deliver to such Buyer an irrevocable written notice (the “Offer Notice”) of any proposed or intended issuance or sale or exchange (the “Offer”) of the securities being offered (the “Offered Securities”) in a Subsequent Placement, which Offer Notice shall (A) identify and describe the Offered Securities, (B) describe the price and other terms upon which they are to be issued, sold or exchanged, and the number or amount of the Offered Securities to be issued, sold or exchanged, (C) identify the Persons (if known) to which or with which the Offered Securities are to be offered, issued, sold or exchanged and (D) offer to issue and sell to or exchange with such Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Offer such Buyer’s pro rata portion of 5% of the Offered Securities, provided that the number of Offered Securities which such Buyer shall have the right to subscribe for under this Section 4(o) shall be (x) based on such Buyer’s pro rata portion of the aggregate original principal amount of the Notes purchased hereunder by all Buyers (the “Basic Amount”), and (y) with respect to each Buyer that elects to purchase its Basic Amount, any additional portion of the Offered Securities attributable to the Basic Amounts of other Buyers as such Buyer shall indicate it will purchase or acquire should the other Buyers subscribe for less than their Basic Amounts (the “Undersubscription Amount”), which process shall be repeated until each Buyer shall have an opportunity to subscribe for any remaining Undersubscription Amount.

(ii) To accept an Offer, in whole or in part, such Buyer must deliver a written notice to the Company prior to the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of the Offer Notice (the “Offer Period”), setting forth the portion of such Buyer’s Basic Amount that such Buyer elects to purchase and, if such Buyer shall elect to purchase all of its Basic Amount, the Undersubscription Amount, if any, that such Buyer elects to purchase (in either case, the “Notice of Acceptance”). If the Basic Amounts subscribed for by all Buyers are less than the total of all of the Basic Amounts, then each Buyer who has set forth an Undersubscription Amount in its Notice of Acceptance shall be entitled to purchase, in addition to the Basic Amounts subscribed for, the Undersubscription Amount it has subscribed for; provided, however, if the Undersubscription Amounts subscribed for exceed the difference between the total of all the Basic Amounts and the Basic Amounts subscribed for (the “Available Undersubscription Amount”), each Buyer who has subscribed for any Undersubscription Amount shall be entitled to purchase only that portion of the Available Undersubscription Amount as the Basic Amount of such Buyer bears to the total Basic Amounts of all Buyers that have subscribed for Undersubscription Amounts, subject to rounding by the Company to the extent it deems reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company desires to modify or amend the terms and conditions of the Offer prior to the expiration of the Offer Period, the Company may deliver to each Buyer a new Offer Notice and the Offer Period shall expire on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Buyer’s receipt of such new Offer Notice.

(iii) The Company shall have five (5) Business Days from the expiration of the Offer Period above (A) to offer, issue, sell or exchange all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice of Acceptance has not been given by a Buyer (the “Refused Securities”) pursuant to a definitive agreement(s) (the “Subsequent Placement Agreement”), but only to the offerees described in the Offer Notice (if so described therein) and only upon terms and conditions (including, without limitation, unit prices and interest rates) that are not more favorable to the acquiring Person or Persons or less favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Offer Notice and (B) to publicly announce (x) the execution of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, and (y) either (I) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by such Subsequent Placement Agreement or (II) the termination of such Subsequent Placement Agreement, which shall be filed with the SEC on a Current Report on Form 8-K with such Subsequent Placement Agreement and any documents contemplated therein filed as exhibits thereto.

(iv) In the event the Company shall propose to sell less than all the Refused Securities (any such sale to be in the manner and on the terms specified in Section 4(o)(iii) above), then each Buyer may, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, withdraw its Notice of Acceptance or reduce the number or amount of the Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance to an amount that shall be not less than the number or amount of the Offered Securities that such Buyer elected to purchase pursuant to Section 4(o)(ii) above multiplied by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number or amount of Offered Securities the Company actually proposes to issue, sell or exchange (including Offered Securities to be issued or sold

Ann. L-31

to Buyers pursuant to this Section 4(o) prior to such reduction) and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the original amount of the Offered Securities. In the event that any Buyer so elects to reduce the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, the Company may not issue, sell or exchange more than the reduced number or amount of the Offered Securities unless and until such securities have again been offered to the Buyers in accordance with Section 4(o)(i) above.

(v) Upon the closing of the issuance, sale or exchange of all or less than all of the Refused Securities, such Buyer shall acquire from the Company, and the Company shall issue to such Buyer, the number or amount of Offered Securities specified in its Notice of Acceptance, as reduced pursuant to Section 4(o)(iv) above if such Buyer has so elected, upon the terms and conditions specified in the Offer. The purchase by such Buyer of any Offered Securities is subject in all cases to the preparation, execution and delivery by the Company and such Buyer of a separate purchase agreement relating to such Offered Securities reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Buyer and its counsel.

(vi) Any Offered Securities not acquired by a Buyer or other Persons in accordance with this Section 4(o) may not be issued, sold or exchanged until they are again offered to such Buyer under the procedures specified in this Agreement.

(vii) The Company and each Buyer agree that if any Buyer elects to participate in the Offer, (x) neither the Subsequent Placement Agreement with respect to such Offer nor any other transaction documents related thereto (collectively, the “Subsequent Placement Documents”) shall include any term or provision whereby such Buyer shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any securities of the Company or be required to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or the like under or in connection with, any agreement previously entered into with the Company or any instrument received from the Company, and (y) any registration rights set forth in such Subsequent Placement Documents shall be similar in all material respects to the registration rights contained in the Registration Rights Agreement.

(viii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(o) and unless otherwise agreed to by such Buyer, the Company shall either confirm in writing to such Buyer that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Placement has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the Offered Securities, in either case, in such a manner such that such Buyer will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the fifth (5th) Business Day following delivery of the Offer Notice. If by such fifth (5th) Business Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Offered Securities has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by such Buyer, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and such Buyer shall not be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Should the Company decide to pursue such transaction with respect to the Offered Securities, the Company shall provide such Buyer with another Offer Notice and such Buyer will again have the right of participation set forth in this Section 4(o). The Company shall not be permitted to deliver more than one such Offer Notice to such Buyer in any sixty (60) day period, except as expressly contemplated by the last sentence of Section 4(o)(ii).

(ix) The restrictions contained in this Section 4(o) shall not apply in connection with the issuance of any Excluded Securities (as defined in the Notes). The Company shall not circumvent the provisions of this Section 4(o) by providing terms or conditions to one Buyer that are not provided to all.

(p) Dilutive Issuances. For so long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall not, in any manner, enter into or affect any Dilutive Issuance (as defined in the Notes) if the effect of such Dilutive Issuance is to cause the Company to be required to issue upon conversion of any Notes or exercise of any Warrant any shares of Common Stock in excess of that number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants without breaching the Company’s obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

(q) Passive Foreign Investment Company. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the Company shall conduct its business, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective businesses, in such a manner as will ensure that the Company will not be deemed to constitute a passive foreign investment company within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code.

Ann. L-32

(r) Restriction on Redemption and Cash Dividends. So long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, redeem, or declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on, any securities of the Company without the prior express written consent of the Buyers.

(s) Corporate Existence. So long as any Buyer beneficially owns any Notes or Warrants, the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes and the Warrants.

(t) Stock Splits. Until the Notes and all notes issued pursuant to the terms thereof are no longer outstanding, the Company shall not effect any stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction (or make any public announcement or disclosure with respect to any of the foregoing) without the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined below); provided, however, that the Company may effect one (1) stock combination, reverse stock split or other similar transaction if necessary to comply with the requirements of the Principal Market without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

(u) Conversion and Exercise Procedures. Each of the form of Exercise Notice (as defined in the Warrants) included in the Warrants and the form of Conversion Notice (as defined in the Notes) included in the Notes set forth the totality of the procedures required of the Buyers in order to exercise the Warrants or convert the Notes. Except as provided in Section 5(d), no additional legal opinion, other information or instructions shall be required of the Buyers to exercise their Warrants or convert their Notes. The Company shall honor exercises of the Warrants and conversions of the Notes and shall deliver the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms, conditions and time periods set forth in the Notes and Warrants.

(v) Collateral Agent. Each Buyer hereby (i) appoints Allegro Management LLC, as the collateral agent hereunder and under the other Security Documents (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), and (ii) authorizes the Collateral Agent (and its officers, directors, employees and agents) to take such action on such Buyer’s behalf in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof. The Collateral Agent shall not have, by reason hereof or any of the other Security Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Buyer. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall have any liability to any Buyer for any action taken or omitted to be taken in connection hereof or any other Security Document except to the extent caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, and each Buyer agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and all of its officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Collateral Agent Indemnitees”) from and against any losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) incurred by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee, whether direct, indirect or consequential, arising from or in connection with the performance by such Collateral Agent Indemnitee of the duties and obligations of Collateral Agent pursuant hereto or any of the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Holders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all holders of Notes; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action which, in the reasonable opinion of the Collateral Agent, exposes the Collateral Agent to liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or applicable law. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

(w) Successor Collateral Agent.

(i) The Collateral Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents at any time by giving at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to the Company and each holder of Notes. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Collateral Agent of appointment pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) below or as otherwise provided below. If at any time the Collateral Agent (together with its affiliates) beneficially owns less than $100,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes, the Required Holders may, by written consent, remove the Collateral Agent from all its functions and duties hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents.

Ann. L-33

(ii) Upon any such notice of resignation or removal, the Required Holders shall appoint a successor collateral agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor agent, such successor collateral agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the collateral agent, and the Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. After the Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as the collateral agent, the provisions of this Section 4(w) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Collateral Agent under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

(iii) If a successor collateral agent shall not have been so appointed within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of a written notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Agent shall then appoint a successor collateral agent who shall serve as the Collateral Agent until such time, if any, as the Required Holders appoint a successor collateral agent as provided above.

(iv) In the event that a successor Collateral Agent is appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4(w) that is not a Buyer or an affiliate of any Buyer (or the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable, notify the Company that they or it wants to appoint such a successor Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 4(w)), the Company and each Subsidiary thereof covenants and agrees to promptly take all actions reasonably requested by the Required Holders or the Collateral Agent (or its successor), as applicable, from time to time, to secure a successor Collateral Agent reasonably satisfactory to the requesting part(y)(ies), in their sole discretion, including, without limitation, by paying all reasonable and customary fees and expenses of such successor Collateral Agent, by having the Company and each Subsidiary thereof agree to indemnify any successor Collateral Agent pursuant to reasonable and customary terms and by each of the Company and each Subsidiary thereof executing a collateral agency agreement or similar agreement and/or any amendment to the Security Documents reasonably requested or required by the successor Collateral Agent.

(x) Regulation M. The Company will not take any action prohibited by Regulation M under the 1934 Act, in connection with the distribution of the Securities contemplated hereby.

(y) General Solicitation. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act) or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will solicit any offer to buy or offer or sell the Securities by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Regulation D, including: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium or broadcast over television or radio; and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

(z) Integration. None of the Company, any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), or any person acting on behalf of the Company or such affiliate will sell, offer for sale, or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the 1933 Act) which will be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner which would require the registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or require stockholder approval under the rules and regulations of the Principal Market and the Company will take all action that is appropriate or necessary to assure that its offerings of other securities will not be integrated for purposes of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, with the issuance of Securities contemplated hereby.

(aa) Notice of Disqualification Events. The Company will notify the Buyers in writing, prior to the Closing Date of (i) any Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person and (ii) any event that would, with the passage of time, become a Disqualification Event relating to any Issuer Covered Person.

For so long as any Notes remain outstanding, upon any entity becoming a direct, or indirect, Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) of the Company, the Company shall cause each such Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) to become party to the Guaranty by executing a joinder to the Guaranty reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Required Holders.

The Company represents and warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5(b), and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(g) hereof, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent with respect to the Securities, and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, as applicable, to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. If a Buyer effects a sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities in accordance with Section 2(g), the Company shall permit the transfer and shall promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates or credit shares to the applicable balance accounts at DTC in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Buyer to effect such sale, transfer or assignment. In the event that such sale, assignment or transfer involves Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement or in compliance with Rule 144, the transfer agent shall issue such shares to such Buyer, assignee or transferee (as the case may be) without any restrictive legend in accordance with Section 5(d) below. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to a Buyer. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5(b) will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 5(b), that a Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. The Company shall cause its counsel to issue the legal opinion referred to in the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to the Company’s transfer agent on each Effective Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). Any fees (with respect to the transfer agent, counsel to the Company or otherwise) associated with the issuance of such opinion or the removal of any legends on any of the Securities shall be borne by the Company.

Ann. L-35

(c) Legends. Each Buyer understands that the Securities have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the 1933 Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

(d) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing Securities shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 5(c) above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement (including a Registration Statement) covering the resale of such Securities is effective under the 1933 Act, (ii) following any sale of such Securities pursuant to Rule 144 (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Securities are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 (provided that a Buyer and its broker provide the Company with customary representations and other documentation reasonably acceptable to the Company and its transfer agent, which shall not include an opinion of Buyer’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that such Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to such Buyer, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the 1933 Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the 1933 Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than two (2) Trading Days (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date such Buyer delivers such legended certificate representing such Securities to the Company) following the delivery by a Buyer to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing such Securities (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from such Buyer as may be required above in this Section 5(d), as directed by such Buyer, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”) and such Securities are Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer shall be entitled to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in FAST, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to such Buyer, a certificate representing such Securities that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of such Buyer or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of such Buyer’s or such Buyer’s designee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to such Buyer pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities in accordance herewith.

(e) Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to a Buyer (or its designee) by the Required Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, a certificate for the number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) to which such Buyer is entitled and register such Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as

Ann. L-36

the case may be) on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above (the “Unavailable Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify such Buyer and (y) deliver the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares, as applicable, electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above to such Buyer’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to such Buyer, the Company shall pay in cash to such Buyer on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to such Buyer on or prior to the Required Delivery Date and to which such Buyer is entitled, and (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by such Buyer in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Required Delivery Date either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to a Buyer and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such Buyer submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Trading Day such Buyer acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Buyer of shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by such Buyer pursuant to Section 5(d) above that such Buyer is entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days after such Buyer’s request and in such Buyer’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to such Buyer’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of such Buyer) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit such Buyer’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to such Buyer a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of such Buyer or such Buyer’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to such Buyer in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) that the Company was required to deliver to such Buyer by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by such Buyer to the Company of the applicable Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as the case may be) and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit such Buyer’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to any given Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, this Section 5(e) shall not apply to the applicable Buyer the extent the Company has already paid such amounts in full to such Buyer with respect to such Notice Failure and/or Delivery Failure, as applicable, pursuant to the analogous sections of the Note or Warrant, as applicable, held by such Buyer.

(f) FAST Compliance. While any Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each of the BC Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that such suit, action or proceeding may not be brought or maintained in any such court, that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude any Buyer from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any BC Party in any other jurisdiction to collect on any BC Party’s obligations to such Buyer or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of such Buyer.

Ann. L-41

JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM RELATING THERETO. IF THE SUBJECT MATTER OF ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE IS ONE IN WHICH THE WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS PROHIBITED, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL ASSERT IN SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE A NONCOMPULSORY COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. FURTHERMORE, NO PARTY HERETO NOR ANY PERSON ASSERTING RIGHTS AS A THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY SHALL SEEK TO CONSOLIDATE ANY SUCH LEGAL DISPUTE WITH A SEPARATE ACTION OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING IN WHICH A JURY TRIAL CANNOT BE WAIVED. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

(b) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by an e-mail which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

(c) Headings; Gender. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found, unless otherwise explicitly specified herein.

(d) Severability; Maximum Payment Amounts. If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (as the case may be), or payable to or received by any of the Buyers, under the Transaction Documents (including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law) exceed amounts permitted under any applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to any Buyer, or collection by any Buyer pursuant the Transaction Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of such Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable

Ann. L-42

law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of such Buyer, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to such Buyer under the Transaction Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by such Buyer under any of the Transaction Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

(e) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all other prior oral or written agreements between the Buyers, any BC Entity, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf, including, without limitation, any transactions by any Buyer with respect to Common Stock or the Securities, and the other matters contained herein and therein, and this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein contain the entire understanding of the parties solely with respect to the matters covered herein and therein; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Buyer has entered into with, or any instruments any Buyer has received from, any BC Entity prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Buyer in any BC Entity or (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of any BC Entity, or any rights of or benefits to any Buyer or any other Person, in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among any BC Entity and any Buyer, or any instruments any Buyer received from any BC Entity prior to the date hereof, in each case, unrelated to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and all such agreements and instruments shall continue in full force and effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents supersede any legally binding terms set forth in that certain “Financing Term Sheet: Secured Convertible Promissory Note” signed by the Target and the lead buyer. Except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither any BC Party nor any Buyer makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters. For clarification purposes, the Recitals are part of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by the BC Parties and the Required Holders (as defined below), and any amendment to any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable; provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (A) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding or (B) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion); and provided further that the provisions of Sections 4(v) and 4(w) above cannot be amended or waived without the additional prior written approval of the Collateral Agent or its successor. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party, provided that the Required Holders may waive any provision of this Agreement, and any waiver of any provision of this Agreement made in conformity with the provisions of this Section 9(e) shall be binding on all Buyers and holders of Securities, as applicable, provided that no such waiver shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding (unless a party gives a waiver as to itself only) or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Buyer without such Buyer’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Buyer’s sole discretion). No consideration (other than reimbursement of legal fees) shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents, all holders of the Notes or all holders of the Warrants (as the case may be). From the date hereof and while any Notes or Warrants are outstanding, no BC Entity shall be permitted to receive any consideration from a Buyer or a holder of Notes or Warrants that is not otherwise contemplated by the Transaction Documents in order to, directly or indirectly, induce any BC Entity (i) to treat such Buyer or holder of Notes or Warrants in a manner that is more favorable than to other similarly situated Buyers or holders of Notes or Warrants, as applicable, or (ii) to treat any Buyer(s) or holder(s) of Notes or Warrants in a manner that is less favorable than the Buyer or holder of Notes or Warrants that is paying such consideration; provided, however, that the determination of whether a Buyer has been treated more or less favorably than another Buyer shall disregard any securities of the Company purchased or sold by any Buyer. No BC Entity has, directly or indirectly, made any agreements with any Buyers relating to the terms or conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents except as set forth in the Transaction Documents.

Ann. L-43

Without limiting the foregoing, each BC Party confirms that, except as set forth in this Agreement, no Buyer (other than the Bridge Buyer) has made any commitment or promise or has any other obligation to provide any financing to any BC Entity or otherwise. As a material inducement for each Buyer to enter into this Agreement, each BC Party expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) no due diligence or other investigation or inquiry conducted by a Buyer, any of its advisors or any of its representatives shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, such BC Party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document and (y) unless a provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document is expressly preceded by the phrase “except as disclosed in the SEC Documents,” nothing contained in any of the SEC Documents shall affect such Buyer’s right to rely on, or shall modify or qualify in any manner or be an exception to any of, such BC Party’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. “Required Holders” means (I) prior to the Closing Date, each Buyer entitled to purchase Notes at the Closing and (II) on or after the Closing Date, each of Allegro Opportunities LLC and the Bridge Buyer.

(f) Notices. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of any of the Notes and Warrants. No BC Party shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, including, without limitation, by way of a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Warrants) (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Warrants) or a Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Notes) (unless the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Notes). Prior to the Closing, the Bridge Buyer may assign and transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the purchase of any or all Securities, which would otherwise be purchased by the

Ann. L-46

Bridge Buyer, to any other Person (each a “Permitted Assignee”), provided that the Bridge Buyer shall remain obligated to purchase such assigned Securities upon any breach by any such Permitted Assignee hereunder. Upon such an assignment, the Schedule of Buyers shall be revised to reflect such assignment. A Buyer may assign some or all of its rights and obligations hereunder in connection with any transfer of any of its Securities without the consent of but upon written notice (delivered promptly after the consummation of such assignment or transfer) to any BC Party and in compliance with any restrictions, limitations, requirements or procedures relating to any such transfer contained in this agreement or any Transaction Document, in which event such assignee shall be deemed to be a Buyer hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.

(h) No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, other than the Indemnitees referred to in Section 9(k).

(i) Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants shall survive the Closing. Each Buyer shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants hereunder.

(j) Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) Indemnification. In consideration of each Buyer’s execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and acquiring the Securities thereunder and in addition to all of each BC Party’s other obligations under the Transaction Documents, each BC Party, severally, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Buyer and each holder of any Securities that is party to this Agreement and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by any BC Entity in any of the Transaction Documents, (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of any BC Entity contained in any of the Transaction Documents or (iii) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of any BC Entity) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of any of the Transaction Documents, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, (C) any disclosure properly made by such Buyer pursuant to Section 4(i), or (D) the status of such Buyer or holder of the Securities either as an investor in any BC Entity pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); provided, that in no event shall the Indemnified Liabilities include any actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities or damages or expenses to the extent arising from, resulting from or relating to any conduct by any Buyer which is finally judicially determined to constitute fraud. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by a BC Entity may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the mechanics and procedures with respect to the rights and obligations under this Section 9(k) shall be the same as those set forth in Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement.

(l) Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty. Each and every reference to share prices, shares of Common Stock and any other numbers in this Agreement that relate to the Common Stock shall be automatically adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or other similar transactions that occur with respect to the Common Stock after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, for the avoidance

Ann. L-47

of doubt, nothing contained herein shall constitute a representation or warranty against, or a prohibition of, any actions with respect to the borrowing of, arrangement to borrow, identification of the availability of, and/or securing of, securities of the Company in order for such Buyer (or its broker or other financial representative) to effect short sales or similar transactions in the future.

(m) Remedies. Each Buyer and in the event of assignment by Buyer of its rights and obligations hereunder, each holder of Securities, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each party hereto recognizes that in the event that such party fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, any remedy at law may be inadequate relief to one or more other parties hereto. Each party hereto therefore agrees that each party hereto shall be entitled to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief).

(n) Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Buyer exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and any BC Entity does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Buyer may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to such applicable BC Entity, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(o) Payment Set Aside; Currency. To the extent that a BC Entity makes a payment or payments to any Buyer hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Transaction Documents or any of the Buyers enforce or exercise their rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to such BC Entity, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are in United States Dollars (“U.S. Dollars”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents shall be paid in U.S. Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies (if any) shall be converted into the U.S. Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “Exchange Rate”means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into U.S. Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the U.S. Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

(p) Judgment Currency.

(i) If for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any BC Entity in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in any court in any jurisdiction it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 9(p) referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in US Dollars under this Agreement, the conversion shall be made at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Trading Day immediately preceding:

(1) the date actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of New York or in the courts of any other jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date: or

Ann. L-48

(2) the date on which the foreign court determines, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 9(p)(i)(2) being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

(ii) If in the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in Section 9(p)(i)(2) above, there is a change in the Exchange Rate prevailing between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, the applicable party shall pay such adjusted amount as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of US Dollars which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order at the Exchange Rate prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date.

(iii) Any amount due from any BC Entity under this provision shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document.

(q) Independent Nature of Buyers’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Buyer under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Buyer, and no Buyer shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Buyer under any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Buyer pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Buyers as, and each BC Party acknowledges that the Buyers do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Buyers are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity, and no BC Entity shall assert any such claim with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and each BC Party acknowledges that the Buyers are not acting in concert or as a group, and no BC Entity shall assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The decision of each Buyer to purchase Securities pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Buyer independently of any other Buyer. Each Buyer acknowledges that no other Buyer has acted as agent for such Buyer in connection with such Buyer making its investment hereunder and that no other Buyer will be acting as agent of such Buyer in connection with monitoring such Buyer’s investment in the Securities or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. Each BC Party and each Buyer confirms that each Buyer has independently participated with the BC Entities in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. Each Buyer shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Buyer to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement to effectuate the purchase and sale of the Securities contemplated hereby was solely in the control of the BC Parties, not the action or decision of any Buyer, and was done solely for the convenience of the BC Entities and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Buyer. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between applicable BC Entities and a Buyer, solely, and not between the Company, its Subsidiaries and the Buyers collectively and not between and among the Buyers.

AJA HOLDCO, INC.

SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

Issuance Date: [•] 2024__ Original Principal Amount: U.S. $[•]

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay [BUYER] or its registered assigns (“Holder”) the amount set forth above as the Original Principal Amount (as reduced pursuant to the terms hereof pursuant to redemption, conversion or otherwise, the “Principal”) when due, whether upon the Maturity Date, or upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof) and to pay interest (“Interest”) on any outstanding Principal at the applicable Interest Rate (as defined below) from the date set forth above as the Issuance Date (the “IssuanceDate”) until the same becomes due and payable, whether upon the Maturity Date or upon acceleration, conversion, redemption or otherwise (in each case in accordance with the terms hereof). This Senior Secured Convertible Note (including all Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, this “Note”) is one of an issue of Senior Secured Convertible Notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February [ ], 2024 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Notes”, and such other Senior Secured Convertible Notes, the “OtherNotes”). Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 32.

1. PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL. On the Maturity Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest on such Principal and Interest. The Company may prepay/redeem pursuant to a Company Optional Redemption, all or any portion of the outstanding Principal, or accrued and unpaid Interest, if any, in accordance with the terms hereof.

2. INTEREST; INTEREST RATE.

(a) Interest on the Principal of this Note outstanding from time to time shall commence accruing at the Interest Rate on the Issuance Date and shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366-day year. On the first Trading Day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “Interest Date”), any accrued and unpaid Interest shall, at the Company’s option, either be (i) paid in cash to the Holder (a “Cash Interest Payment”) or (ii) compound and become additional Principal outstanding hereunder as of such Interest Date (each, a “Quarterly Compounding”). The Company may elect to effect a Cash Interest Payment with respect to an Interest Date by delivering to the Holder

Ann. L-57

a written notice (each, an “Cash Interest Election Notice”) on or prior to the fifth (5th) Trading Day immediately prior to such applicable Interest Date (the “Interest Election Deadline”) electing to pay such Interest, in whole, or in part, in cash as specified in such Cash Interest Election Notice. If the Company fails to deliver a Cash Interest Election Notice to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Interest Date (or such Cash Interest Election Notice elects in part, to pay such Interest in cash), such Interest (or such unpaid portion of Interest on such Interest Date, as applicable) shall be subject to Quarterly Compounding on such Interest Date.

(b) Prior to a Cash Interest Payment and/or Quarterly Compounding, as applicable, Interest shall also be payable by way of inclusion of the Interest in the Conversion Amounton each Conversion Date in accordance with Section 3(b)(i) or upon any redemption in accordance with Section 12 or any required payment upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Interest Rate shall, (i) in the case of a Payment Event of Default or a Bankruptcy Event of Default, automatically, and (ii) in the case of any other Event of Default, upon prior written notice by the Holders to so increase, be increased by two percent (2.0%) per annum to a total effective rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum (the “Default Rate”). For the avoidance of doubt, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, notwithstanding that all, or any part, of this Note is subject to redemption and/or conversion hereunder, all of the Conversion Amount of this Note (including, without limitation, such portion of the Conversion Amount of this Note then subject to a redemption and/or conversion hereunder, as applicable) shall continue to accrue Interest hereunder at the Default Rate, and such Interest shall only cease to accrue hereunder with respect to such underlying Conversion Amount subject to such redemption and/or conversion, as applicable, at the time the Company has paid the applicable Redemption Price with respect to such redemption and/or delivered the required shares of Common Stock due hereunder with respect to such conversion, as applicable. In the event that such Event of Default is subsequently cured (and no other Event of Default then exists, including, without limitation, for the Company’s failure to pay such Interest at the Default Rate on the applicable Interest Date), the adjustment referred to in the preceding sentence shall cease to be effective as of the calendar day immediately following the date of such cure; provided that the Interest as calculated and unpaid at such increased rate during the continuance of such Event of Default shall continue to apply to the extent relating to the days after the occurrence of such Event of Default through and including the date of such cure of such Event of Default.

3. CONVERSION OF NOTES. At any time after the Issuance Date, this Note shall be convertible into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.

(a) Conversion Right. Subject to the provisions of Section 3(d), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, the Holder shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Conversion Amount (as defined below) into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 3(c), at the Conversion Rate (as defined below). The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any conversion. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent (as defined below), but excluding any income tax) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon conversion of any Conversion Amount.

(b) Conversion Rate. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) such Conversion Amount by (y) the Conversion Price (the “Conversion Rate”).

(i) “Conversion Amount” means the sum of (A) the portion of the Principal of this Note to be converted, redeemed or otherwise with respect to which this determination is being made, (B) accrued and unpaid Interest with respect to such Principal of this Note, and (D) any other unpaid amounts pursuant to the Transaction Documents, if any.

(ii) “Conversion Price” means, as of any Conversion Date or other date of determination, $10,00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

Ann. L-58

(c) Mechanics of Conversion.

(i) Optional Conversion. To convert any Conversion Amount into shares of Common Stock on any date (a “Conversion Date”), the Holder shall deliver (whether via electronic mail or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of conversion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (each, a “Conversion Notice”) to the Company. If required by Section 3(c)(iii), within two (2) Trading Days following a conversion of this Note as aforesaid, the Holder shall surrender this Note to a nationally recognized overnight delivery service for delivery to the Company (or an indemnification undertaking with respect to this Note in the case of its loss, theft or destruction as contemplated by Section 19(b)). On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of a Conversion Notice, the Company shall transmit by electronic mail an acknowledgment, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice and representation as to whether such shares of Common Stock may then be resold pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective and available registration statement (each, an “Acknowledgement”) to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Conversion Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received a Conversion Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the applicable Conversion Date of such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such Conversion Notice) (the “Share Delivery Deadline”), the Company shall (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such conversion. If this Note is physically surrendered for conversion pursuant to Section 3(c)(iii) and the outstanding Principal of this Note is greater than the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount being converted, then the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal not converted. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Conversion Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and prior to the Holder’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled.

(ii) Company’s Failure to Timely Convert. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the applicable Share Delivery Deadline, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion of this Note (as the case may be) and such failure is not cured within two (2) Trading Days or (II) if the Registration Statement covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock that are the subject of the Conversion Notice (the “Unavailable Conversion Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Conversion Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the shares of Common Stock electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such conversion

Ann. L-59

to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system and such failure is not cured within two (2) Trading Days (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Conversion Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Conversion Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Deadline and (2) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Conversion Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to such Conversion Notice, provided that the voiding of a Conversion Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 3(c)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline either (A) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (II) below or (B) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Conversion Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either: (I) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate, or (II) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such shares of Common Stock or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s conversion hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (x) such number of shares of Common Stock multiplied by (y) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Conversion Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (II) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the conversion of this Note as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

(iii) Registration; Book-Entry. The Company shall maintain a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the holders of each Note and the principal amount of the Notes held by such holders (the “Registered Notes”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error. The Company and the holders of the Notes shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of a Note for all purposes (including, without limitation, the right to receive payments of Principal and Interest hereunder) notwithstanding notice to the contrary. A Registered Note may be assigned, transferred or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register. Upon its receipt of a written request to assign, transfer or sell all or part of any Registered Note by the holder thereof, the Company shall record the information

Ann. L-60

contained therein in the Register and issue one or more new Registered Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Note to the designated assignee or transferee pursuant to Section 19, provided that if the Company does not so record an assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be) of all or part of any Registered Note within two (2) Business Days of such a request, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such assignment, transfer or sale (as the case may be). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 3, following conversion of any portion of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Company unless (A) the full Conversion Amount represented by this Note is being converted (in which event this Note shall be delivered to the Company following conversion thereof as contemplated by Section 3(c)(i)) or (B) the Holder has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in a Conversion Notice) requesting reissuance of this Note upon physical surrender of this Note. The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the Principal and Interest converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon conversion. If the Company does not update the Register to record such Principal and Interest converted and/or paid (as the case may be) and the dates of such conversions, and/or payments (as the case may be) within two (2) Business Days of such occurrence, then the Register shall be automatically deemed updated to reflect such occurrence.

(iv) Pro Rata Conversion; Disputes. In the event that the Company receives a Conversion Notice from more than one holder of Notes for the same Conversion Date and the Company can convert some, but not all, of such portions of the Notes submitted for conversion, the Company, subject to Section 3(d), shall convert from each holder of Notes electing to have Notes converted on such date a pro rata amount of such holder’s portion of its Notes submitted for conversion based on the principal amount of Notes submitted for conversion on such date by such holder relative to the aggregate principal amount of all Notes submitted for conversion on such date. In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder in connection with a conversion of this Note, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 24.

(d) Limitations on Conversions. The Company shall not effect the conversion of any portion of this Note, and the Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of this Note pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Note and any such conversion shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, nonconverted portion of this Note beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or nonconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including, without limitation, the Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 3(d). For purposes of this Section 3(d), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the conversion of this Note without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives a Conversion Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Conversion Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 3(d),

Ann. L-61

to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to such Conversion Notice. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Note, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon conversion of this Note results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of Notes that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Note in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to convert this Note pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of convertibility. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 3(d) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph (or any portion of this paragraph) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 3(d) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Note.

(e) Right of Alternate Conversion Upon an Event of Default.

(i) General. Subject to Section 3(d), upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Company may irrevocably elect in the Event of Default Notice (or otherwise in a writing to the Holder) to permit the Holder to effect Alternate Conversions pursuant to this Section 3(e) during such applicable Event of Default Redemption Right Period (as defined below) with respect thereto (each, an “Alternate Conversion Election”). For the avoidance of doubt, an Alternate Conversion Election with respect to a prior Event of Default Redemption Right Period shall not constitute an automatic election for a future Event of Default Redemption Right Period (any Alternate Conversion Election must be made in writing by the Company and specific to an applicable Event of Default Redemption Right Period). If the Company has made an Alternate Conversion Election with respect to an Event of Default Redemption Right Period (but regardless of whether the Holder has delivered an Event of Default Redemption Notice to the Company or, if applicable, whether the Company has cured such Event of Default prior to the applicable Event of Default Redemption Right Expiration Date (as defined below)), the Holder may, at the Holder’s option, convert (each, an “Alternate Conversion”, and the date of such Alternate Conversion, each, an “Alternate Conversion Date”) all, or any part of, the Conversion Amount (such portion of the Conversion Amount subject to such Alternate Conversion, the “Alternate Conversion Amount”) into shares of Common Stock at a conversion rate equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (A) the Redemption Premium and (B) the Conversion Amount (the amount in this clause (x) being the “Redemption Premium of the Conversion Amount”), divided by (y) the Alternate Conversion Price (the “Alternate Conversion Rate”). Any Alternate Conversion with respect to such Alternate Conversion Amount shall be in lieu of redemption of such Alternate Conversion Amount to which the Holder would otherwise be entitled pursuant to Section 4 below.

(ii) Mechanics of Alternate Conversion. On any Alternate Conversion Date, the Holder may voluntarily convert any Alternate Conversion Amount pursuant to Section 3(c) at the Alternate Conversion Rate (for the avoidance of doubt, with “Alternate Conversion Price” replacing “Conversion Price” for all

Ann. L-62

purposes hereunder with respect to such Alternate Conversion and, solely with respect to the calculation of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of any Conversion Amount in an Alternate Event of Default Conversion, with “Redemption Premium of the Conversion Amount” replacing “Conversion Amount” in clause (x) of the definition of Conversion Rate with respect to such Alternate Conversion) by designating in the Conversion Notice delivered pursuant to this Section 3(e) of this Note that the Holder is electing to use the Alternate Conversion Price for such conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3(e), but subject to Section 3(d), until the Company delivers shares of Common Stock representing the applicable Alternate Conversion Amount to the Holder, such Alternate Conversion Amount may be converted by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3(c) without regard to this Section 3(e). In the event of an Alternate Conversion pursuant to this Section 3(e) of all, or any portion, of this Note, the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 3(e), together the Alternate Conversion Price used in such Alternate Conversion, as applicable, is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of, the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

4. RIGHTS UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

(a) Event of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an “Event of Default” and each of the events in clauses (viii), (ix) and (x) shall constitute a “Bankruptcy Event of Default” and each of the events in clause (vi) shall constitute a “Payment Event of Default”:

(v) except to the extent the Company is in compliance with Section 11(b) below, at any time following the tenth (10^th) consecutive day that the Holder’s Authorized Share Allocation (as defined in Section 11(a) below) is less than the sum of (A) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon a conversion of the full Conversion Amount of this Note (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth in Section 3(d) or otherwise), and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder would be entitled to receive upon exercise in full of the Holder’s Warrants (without regard to any limitations on exercise set forth in the Warrants);

Ann. L-63

(vi) the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s failure to pay to the Holder any amount of Principal, Interest or other amounts when and as due under this Note (including, without limitation, the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s failure to pay any redemption payments or amounts hereunder) or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or any other agreement, document, certificate or other instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, except, in the case of a failure to pay Interest when and as due, in which case only if such failure remains uncured for a period of at least five (5) Trading Days;

(vii) the Company fails to remove any restrictive legend on any certificate or any shares of Common Stock issued to the Holder upon conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of any Securities (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) acquired by the Holder under the Securities Purchase Agreement (including this Note) as and when required by such Securities or the Securities Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise then prohibited by applicable federal securities laws, and any such failure remains uncured for at least five (5) days;

(viii) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Company or any Material Subsidiary and, if instituted against the Company or any Material Subsidiary by a third party, shall not be dismissed within forty-seven (47) days of their initiation;

(x) the entry by a court of (i) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary of a voluntary or involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (ii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document adjudging the Company or any Material Subsidiary as bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary under any applicable federal, state or foreign law or (iii) a decree, order, judgment or other similar document appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree, order, judgment or other similar document or any such other decree, order, judgment or other similar document unstayed and in effect for a period of forty-seven (47) consecutive days;

(xi) a final judgment or judgments for the payment of money aggregating in excess of $2,000,000 are rendered against the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and which judgments are not, within forty-seven (47) days after the entry thereof, bonded, discharged, settled or stayed pending appeal, or are not discharged within forty-seven (47) days after the expiration of such stay; provided, however, any judgment which is bonded or covered by insurance or indemnity from a credit worthy party as to which the insurer or indemnitor has been notified and not denied coverage shall not be included in calculating the $2,000,000 amount set forth above;

Ann. L-64

(xii) the Company and/or any Subsidiary, individually or in the aggregate, either fails to pay, when due, or within any applicable grace period, any payment with respect to any Indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000 due to any third party (other than, with respect to unsecured Indebtedness only, payments contested by the Company and/or such Subsidiary (as the case may be) in good faith by proper proceedings and with respect to which adequate reserves have been set aside for the payment thereof in accordance with GAAP) or is otherwise in breach or violation of any agreement for monies owed or owing in an amount in excess of $1,000,000, which breach or violation permits the other party thereto (and/or any other parties pursuant to such Indebtedness and/or any other Indebtedness, as applicable) to accelerate, in the aggregate, at least $1 million in amounts due thereunder;

(xvi) any material provision of any Transaction Document (including, without limitation, the Security Documents and the Guaranties) shall at any time for any reason (other than pursuant to the express terms thereof) cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the parties thereto in accordance with its terms, or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested in writing by any party (other than the Holder) thereto, any , or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any Subsidiary or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over any of them, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof, or the Company or any Subsidiary shall deny in writing that it has any liability or obligation purported to be created under any Transaction Document (including, without limitation, the Security Documents and the Guaranties);

(xvii) any Security Document shall for any reason fail or cease to create a separate valid and perfected Lien (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) on the Collateral (as defined in the Security Documents) in favor of the Collateral Agent (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or any material provision of any Security Document shall at any time for any reason cease to be valid and binding on or enforceable against the Company or the validity or enforceability thereof shall be contested in writing by any party thereto (other than the Holder), or a proceeding shall be commenced by the Company or any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Company, seeking to establish the invalidity or unenforceability thereof; or

(xviii) any Event of Default (as defined in the Other Notes) occurs with respect to any Other Notes.

(b) Notice of an Event of Default; Redemption Right. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to this Note or any Other Note, the Company shall within two (2) Business Day (each, an “Event of Default Notice Due Date”) deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier (with next day delivery specified) (each, an “Event of Default Notice”) to the Holder. At any time after the earlier of (x) the Holder’s receipt of an Event of Default Notice and (y) the Holder becoming aware of an Event of Default for which no Event of Default Notice has been previously delivered (such earlier date, each, an “Event of Default Right Commencement Date”) and ending (such ending date, each, an “Event of Default Right Expiration Date”, and each such period, an “Event of Default Redemption Right Period”) on (i) if the Company has delivered an Event of Default Notice to the Holder on or prior to the applicable Event of Default Notice Due Date, the date such Event of Default has been cured or (ii) if the Company has failed to deliver the Event of Default Notice on or prior to the applicable Event of Default Notice Due Date, as applicable, either (x) if the Company has made an Alternate Conversion Election in such applicable Event of Default Notice with respect thereto, the later of (A) the tenth (10^th) Trading Day following the date of delivery of such Event of Default Notice to the Holder and (B) the date such Event of Default has been cured or (y) if the Company has not made an Alternate Conversion Election in such applicable Event of Default Notice with respect thereto, the

Ann. L-65

later of (A) the twentieth (20^th) Trading Day following the date of delivery of such applicable Event of Default Notice to the Holder and (B) the date such Event of Default has been cured, the Holder may require the Company to redeem (regardless of whether such Event of Default has been cured on or prior to the Event of Default Right Expiration Date) all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (each, an “Event of Default Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Event of Default Redemption Notice shall indicate the portion of this Note the Holder is electing to redeem. Each portion of this Note subject to redemption by the Company pursuant to this Section 4(b) shall be redeemed by the Company at a price equal to the greater of (i) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount to be redeemed multiplied by (B) the Redemption Premium and (ii) the product of (X) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount in effect at such time as the Holder delivers an Event of Default Redemption Notice multiplied by (Y) the product of (1) the Redemption Premium multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default and ending on the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 4(b) (each, an “Event of Default Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 4(b) shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 4(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Subject to Section 3(d), until the Event of Default Redemption Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 4(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 4(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 4(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. Any redemption upon an Event of Default shall not constitute an election of remedies by the Holder, and all other rights and remedies of the Holder shall be preserved.

(c) Mandatory Redemption upon Bankruptcy Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and notwithstanding any conversion that is then required or in process, upon any Bankruptcy Event of Default, whether occurring prior to or following the Maturity Date, the Company shall immediately pay to the Holder an amount in cash representing (i) all outstanding Principal and accrued and unpaid Interest, multiplied by (ii) the Redemption Premium, in addition to any and all other amounts due hereunder, without the requirement for any notice or demand or other action by the Holder or any other person or entity, provided that the Holder may, in its sole discretion, waive such right to receive payment upon a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in whole or in part, and any such waiver shall not affect any other rights of the Holder hereunder, including any other rights in respect of such Bankruptcy Event of Default, any right to conversion, and any right to payment of the Event of Default Redemption Price or any other Redemption Price, as applicable.

5. RIGHTS UPON FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTION.

(a) Assumption. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5(a) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to each holder of Notes in exchange for such Notes a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to the Notes, including, without limitation, having a principal amount and interest rate equal to the principal amounts then outstanding and the interest rates of the Notes held by such holder, having similar conversion rights as the Notes and having similar ranking and security to the Notes, and satisfactory to the Holder and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Note and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of a Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon

Ann. L-66

conversion or redemption of this Note at any time after the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Sections 6 and 16, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the conversion or redemption of the Notes prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of the publicly traded common stock (or their equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Fundamental Transaction had this Note been converted immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 5(a) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Note. The provisions of this Section 5 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion of this Note.

(b) Notice of a Change of Control; Redemption Right. No sooner than the public announcement of a Change of Control, nor later than ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control (the “Change of Control Date”), the Company shall deliver written notice thereof via electronic mail and overnight courier to the Holder (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period beginning after the Holder’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice or the Holder becoming aware of a Change of Control if a Change of Control Notice is not delivered to the Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence (as applicable) and ending on fifteen (15) days after the later of (A) the date of consummation of such Change of Control or (B) the date of receipt of such Change of Control Notice or (C) the date of the announcement of such Change of Control, the Holder may require the Company to redeem all or any portion of this Note by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control Redemption Notice”) to the Company, which Change of Control Redemption Notice shall indicate the Conversion Amount the Holder is electing to redeem. The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 5 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to the greatest of (i) the product of (w) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y) the Conversion Amount being redeemed, (ii) the product of (x) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (y) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient determined by dividing (I) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the shares of Common Stock during the period beginning on the date immediately preceding the earlier to occur of (1) the consummation of the applicable Change of Control and (2) the public announcement of such Change of Control and ending on the date the Holder delivers the Change of Control Redemption Notice by (II) the Conversion Pricethen in effect and (iii) the product of (y) the Change of Control Redemption Premium multiplied by (z) the product of (A) the Conversion Amount being redeemed multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I) the aggregate cash consideration and the aggregate cash value of any non-cash consideration per share of Common Stock to be paid to the holders of the shares of Common Stock upon consummation of such Change of Control (any such non-cash consideration constituting publicly-traded securities shall be valued at the highest of the Closing Sale Price of such securities as of the Trading Day immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control, the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control and the Closing Sale Price of such securities on the Trading Day immediately prior to the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control) divided by (II) the Conversion Price then in effect (the “Change of Control Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 5 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12 and shall have priority to payments to stockholders in connection with such Change of Control. To the extent redemptions required by this Section 5(b) are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of this Note by the Company, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5, but subject to Section 3(d), until the Change of Control Redemption Price is paid in full, the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption under this Section 5(b) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 5(b), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 5(b) is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

Ann. L-67

6. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF PURCHASE RIGHTS AND OTHER CORPORATE EVENTS.

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Sections 7 or 16 below, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete conversion of this Note (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note and assuming for such purpose that the Note was converted at the Alternate Conversion Price as of the applicable record date) immediately prior to the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable) for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance (and, if such Purchase Right has an expiration date, maturity date or other similar provision, such term shall be extended by such number of days held in abeyance, if applicable)) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation); provided that any such period of abeyance shall not exceed ninety (90) Trading Days after the later of (x) the expiration date of such Purchase Right and (y) the Applicable Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

(b) Other Corporate Events. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to ensure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon a conversion of this Note, at the Holder’s option (i) in addition to the shares of Common Stock receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets to which the Holder would have been entitled with respect to such shares of Common Stock had such shares of Common Stock been held by the Holder upon the consummation of such Corporate Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the convertibility of this Note) or (ii) in lieu of the shares of Common Stock otherwise receivable upon such conversion, such securities or other assets received by the holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the consummation of such Corporate Event in such amounts as the Holder would have been entitled to receive had this Note initially been issued with conversion rights for the form of such consideration (as opposed to shares of Common Stock) at a conversion rate for such consideration commensurate with the Conversion Rate. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 6 shall apply similarly and equally to successive Corporate Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the conversion or redemption of this Note.

7. RIGHTS UPON ISSUANCE OF OTHER SECURITIES.

(a) Adjustment of Conversion Price upon Subdivision or Combination of Common Stock. Without limiting any provision of Section 6 or Section 16, if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced. Without limiting any provision of Section 6 or Section 16 if the Company at any time on or after the Subscription Date combines (by any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased. Any adjustment pursuant to this

Ann. L-68

Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7(a) occurs during the period that a Conversion Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Conversion Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(b) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100^th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock.

(c) Voluntary Adjustment by Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Note, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the then current Conversion Price of each of the Notes to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

8. ASSET SALE OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

(a) General. At any time from and after the earlier of (x) the date the Holder becomes aware of the occurrence of an Asset Sale (including any insurance and condemnation proceeds thereof) (the “Holder Notice Date”) and (y) the time of consummation of an Asset Sale (other than sales of inventory and product in the ordinary course of business and amounts reinvested in assets to be used or useful in the Company or any of its Subsidiaries’ business within twelve months of the date of consummation of such Asset Sale), in each case only to the extent the gross proceeds of such Asset Sale exceeds $1,000,000 (each, an “Eligible Asset Sale”), the Holder shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the Company redeem (each an “Asset Sale Optional Redemption”) all, or any portion, of the Conversion Amount under this Note not in excess of (together with any Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the applicable other Notes issued to purchasers pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement) the Holder’s Holder Pro Rata Amount of 25% of the gross proceeds (with any non-cash proceeds valued at the fair market value thereof as reasonably determined) of such Eligible Asset Sale (the “Eligible Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount”) by delivering written notice thereof (an “Asset Sale Optional Redemption Notice”) to the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, no Redemption Premium or other premium or penalty is required to be paid hereunder in connection with an Asset Sale Optional Redemption.

(b) Mechanics. Each Asset Sale Optional Redemption Notice shall indicate that all, or such applicable portion, as set forth in the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption Notice, of the Eligible Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount the Holder is electing to have redeemed (the “Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount”) and the date of such Asset Sale Optional Redemption (the “Asset Sale Optional Redemption Date”), which shall be the later of (x) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the date of the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption Notice and (y) the date of the consummation of such Eligible Asset Sale. The portion of the Conversion Amount of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 8 shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price equal to 100% of the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption Amount (the “Asset Sale Optional Redemption Price”). Redemptions required by this Section 8 shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.

9. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, undertake any such action for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Note, and will at all times in good faith carry out all of the provisions of this Note. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this Note or the other Transaction Documents, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of this Note above the Conversion Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of this Note.

10. COMPANY OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

(a) Company Optional Redemption. At any time, the Company shall have the right to redeem all, or any portion, of the Conversion Amount then remaining under this Note (the “Company Optional Redemption

Ann. L-69

Amount”) on the Company Optional Redemption Date (each as defined below) (a “Company Optional Redemption”). The portion of this Note subject to redemption pursuant to this Section 10(a) shall be redeemed by the Company in cash at a price (the “Company Optional Redemption Price”) equal to 115% of the greater of (i) the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date and (ii) the product of (1) the Conversion Rate with respect to the Conversion Amount being redeemed as of the Company Optional Redemption Date multiplied by (2) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date immediately preceding such Company Optional Redemption Notice Date and ending on the Trading Day immediately prior to the date the Company makes the entire payment required to be made under this Section 10(a). The Company may exercise its right to require redemption under this Section 10(a) by delivering a written notice thereof by electronic mail and overnight courier to all, but not less than all, of the holders of Notes (the “Company Optional Redemption Notice” and the date all of the holders of Notes received such notice is referred to as the “Company Optional Redemption Notice Date”). The Company may deliver only one Company Optional Redemption Notice hereunder in any twenty (20) Trading Day period and each such Company Optional Redemption Notice shall be irrevocable. The Company Optional Redemption Notice shall (x) state the date on which the Company Optional Redemption shall occur (the “Company Optional Redemption Date”) which date shall not be less than fifteen (15) Trading Days nor more than twenty-five (25) Trading Days following the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date, and (y) state the aggregate Conversion Amount of the Notes which is being redeemed in such Company Optional Redemption from the Holder and all of the other holders of the Notes pursuant to this Section 10(a) (and analogous provisions under the Other Notes) on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, at any time prior to the date the Company Optional Redemption Price is paid, in full, the Company Optional Redemption Amount may be converted, in whole or in part, by the Holder into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3. All Conversion Amounts converted by the Holder after the Company Optional Redemption Notice Date shall reduce the Company Optional Redemption Amount of this Note required to be redeemed on the Company Optional Redemption Date. Redemptions made pursuant to this Section 10(a) shall be made in accordance with Section 12. In the event of the Company’s redemption of any portion of this Note under this Section 10(a), the Holder’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Holder. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this Section 9 is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Holder’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no right to effect a Company Optional Redemption if any Event of Default has occurred and continuing, but any Event of Default shall have no effect upon the Holder’s right to convert this Note in its discretion.

(b) Pro Rata Redemption Requirement. If the Company elects to cause a Company Optional Redemption of this Note pursuant to Section 10(a), then it must simultaneously take the same action with respect to all of the Other Notes.

11. RESERVATION OF AUTHORIZED SHARES.

(a) Reservation. So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Company shall at all times reserve at least 200% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion, including without limitation, Alternate Conversions, of all of the Notes then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on conversions and assuming such Notes remain outstanding until the Maturity Date) at the Alternate Conversion Price then in effect (the “Required Reserve Amount”). The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the Notes based on the original principal amount of the Notes held by each holder on the Closing Date or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s Notes, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Notes shall be allocated to the remaining holders of Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount of the Notes then held by such holders.

(b) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 11(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the Notes remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Notes at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized

Ann. L-70

Share Failure”), then the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the Notes then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Note due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorized Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorized Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Conversion Amount convertible into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorized Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Conversion Notice with respect to such Authorized Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 11(a); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Authorized Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in Section 11(a) or this Section 11(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

12. REDEMPTIONS.

(a) Mechanics. The Company shall deliver the applicable Event of Default Redemption Price to the Holder in cash within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s Event of Default Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 4(b). If the Holder has submitted a Change of Control Redemption Notice in accordance with Section 5(b), the Company shall deliver the applicable Change of Control Redemption Price to the Holder in cash concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of such notice otherwise. The Company shall deliver the applicable Company Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Company Optional Redemption Date. The Company shall deliver the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption Price to the Holder in cash on the applicable Asset Sale Optional Redemption Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in connection with any redemption hereunder at a time the Holder is entitled to receive a cash payment under any of the other Transaction Documents, at the option of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company, the applicable Redemption Price hereunder shall be increased by the amount of such cash payment owed to the Holder under such other Transaction Document and, upon payment in full or conversion in accordance herewith, shall satisfy the Company’s payment obligation under such other Transaction Document. In the event of a redemption of less than all of the Conversion Amount of this Note, the Company shall promptly cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) representing the outstanding Principal which has not been redeemed. In the event that the Company does not pay the applicable Redemption Price to the Holder within the time period required, at any time thereafter and until the Company pays such unpaid Redemption Price in full, the Holder shall have the option, in lieu of redemption, to require the Company to promptly return to the Holder all or any portion of this Note representing the Conversion Amount that was submitted for redemption and for which the applicable Redemption Price has not been paid. Upon the Company’s receipt of such notice, (x) the applicable Redemption Notice shall be null and void with respect to such Conversion Amount, and (y) the Company shall immediately return this Note, or issue a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)), to the Holder, and in each case the principal amount of this Note or such new Note (as the case may be) shall be increased by an amount equal to the difference between (1) the applicable Redemption Price (as the case may be, and as adjusted pursuant to this Section 12, if applicable) minus (2) the Principal portion of the Conversion Amount submitted for redemption.

(b) Redemption by Other Holders. Upon the Company’s receipt of notice from any of the holders of the Other Notes for redemption or repayment as a result of an event or occurrence substantially similar to the events

Ann. L-71

or occurrences described in Section 4(b) or Section 5(b) (each, an “Other Redemption Notice”), the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Business Day of its receipt thereof, forward to the Holder by electronic mail a copy of such notice. If the Company receives a Redemption Notice and one or more Other Redemption Notices, during the seven (7) Business Day period beginning on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and ending on and including the date which is two (2) Business Days after the Company’s receipt of the Holder’s applicable Redemption Notice and the Company is unable to redeem all principal, interest and other amounts designated in such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received during such seven (7) Business Day period, then the Company shall redeem a pro rata amount from each holder of the Notes (including the Holder) based on the principal amount of the Notes submitted for redemption pursuant to such Redemption Notice and such Other Redemption Notices received by the Company during such seven (7) Business Day period.

13. VOTING RIGHTS. The Holder shall have no voting rights as the holder of this Note, except as required by law (including, without limitation, the Delaware General Corporation Law) and as expressly provided in this Note.

14. COVENANTS. Until all of the Notes have been converted, redeemed or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their terms:

(a) Rank. All payments due under this Note (i) shall rank pari passu with all Other Notes, (ii) junior to Permitted Senior Indebtedness and any Liens securing such Permitted Senior Indebtedness and (iii) shall be senior to all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Incurrence of Indebtedness. The Company shall not, and the Company shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, incur or guarantee, assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness (other than (i) the Indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the Other Notes and (ii) other Permitted Indebtedness).

(c) Existence of Liens.

Ann. L-76

accordance with Section 19(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the outstanding Principal being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the entire outstanding Principal is being transferred, a new Note (in accordance with Section 19(d)) to the Holder representing the outstanding Principal not being transferred. The Holder and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of Section 3(c)(iii) following conversion or redemption of any portion of this Note, the outstanding Principal represented by this Note may be less than the Principal stated on the face of this Note.

Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Note pursuant to the terms of this Note, such new Note (i) shall be of like tenor with this Note, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Note, the Principal remaining outstanding (or in the case of a new Note being issued pursuant to Section 19(a) or Section 19(c), the Principal designated by the Holder which, when added to the principal represented by the other new Notes issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the Principal remaining outstanding under this Note immediately prior to such issuance of new Notes), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Note, which is the same as the Issuance Date of this Note, (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Note, and (v) shall represent accrued and unpaid Interest on the Principal and Interest of this Note, from the Issuance Date.

The remedies provided in this Note shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Note and any of the other Transaction Documents at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Note. No failure on the part of the Holder to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. In addition, the exercise of any right or remedy of the Holder at law or equity or under this Note or any of the documents shall not be deemed to be an election of Holder’s rights or remedies under such documents or at law or equity. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, conversion and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Holder shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.

Ann. L-77

for such collection, enforcement or action or in connection with such bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other proceeding, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that no amounts due under this Note shall be affected, or limited, by the fact that the purchase price paid for this Note was less than the original Principal amount hereof.

The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Note instead of just the provision in which they are found. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, all section references are to sections of this Note. Terms used in this Note and not otherwise defined herein, but defined in the other Transaction Documents, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Holder.

23. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 23 shall permit any waiver of any provision of Section 3(d).

Warrant To Purchase Common Stock

Warrant No.:

Date of Issuance: [      ], 2024 (“Issuance Date”)

Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, [BUYER], the registered holder hereof or its permitted assigns (the “Holder”), is entitled, subject to the terms set forth below, to purchase from the Company, at the Exercise Price (as defined below) then in effect, upon exercise of this Warrant to Purchase Common Stock (including any Warrants to Purchase Common Stock issued in exchange, transfer or replacement hereof, the “Warrant”), at any time or times on or after the Issuance Date, but not after 11:59 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date (as defined below),      ¹ (subject to adjustment as provided herein) fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Warrant Shares”, and such number of Warrant Shares, the “Warrant Number”). Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this Warrant shall have the meanings set forth in Section 19. This Warrant is one of the Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (the “SPA Warrants”) issued pursuant to Section 1 of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of [      ], 2024 (the “Subscription Date”), by and among the Company and the investors (the “Buyers”) referred to therein, as amended from time to time (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).

1. EXERCISE OF WARRANT.

(a) Mechanics of Exercise. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 1(f)), this Warrant may be exercised by the Holder on any day on or after the Issuance Date (an “Exercise Date”), in whole or in part, by delivery (whether via electronic mail or otherwise) of a written notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), of the Holder’s election to exercise this Warrant. Within one (1) Trading Day following an exercise of this Warrant as aforesaid, the Holder shall deliver payment to the Company of an amount equal to the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares as to which this Warrant was so exercised (the “Aggregate Exercise Price”) in cash or via wire transfer of immediately available funds if the Holder did not notify the Company in such Exercise Notice that such exercise was made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise (as defined in Section 1(d)). The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original of this Warrant in order to effect an exercise hereunder. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice with respect to less than all of the Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant and issuance of a new

1
75% Warrant coverage

Ann. M-1

Warrant evidencing the right to purchase the remaining number of Warrant Shares. Execution and delivery of an Exercise Notice for all of the then-remaining Warrant Shares shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original of this Warrant after delivery of the Warrant Shares in accordance with the terms hereof. On or before the first (1^st) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received an Exercise Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of such Exercise Notice, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process such Exercise Notice in accordance with the terms herein. On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date on which the Company has received such Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date), the Company shall (X) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, upon the request of the Holder, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system, or (Y) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program (“FAST”), upon the request of the Holder, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Exercise Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled pursuant to such exercise. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the Holder shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the holder of record of the Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant has been exercised, irrespective of the date such Warrant Shares are credited to the Holder’s DTC account or the date of delivery of the certificates evidencing such Warrant Shares (as the case may be). If this Warrant is submitted in connection with any exercise pursuant to this Section 1(a) and the number of Warrant Shares represented by this Warrant submitted for exercise is greater than the number of Warrant Shares being acquired upon an exercise and upon surrender of this Warrant to the Company by the Holder, then, at the request of the Holder, the Company shall as soon as practicable and in no event later than two (2) Business Days after any exercise and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares purchasable immediately prior to such exercise under this Warrant, less the number of Warrant Shares with respect to which this Warrant is exercised. No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but rather the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of the Transfer Agent) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Warrant Shares upon exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except in the case where an exercise of this Warrant is validly made pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, the Company’s failure to deliver Warrant Shares to the Holder on or prior to the later of (i) two (2) Trading Days after receipt of the applicable Exercise Notice (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the 1934 Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade of such Warrant Shares initiated on the applicable Exercise Date) and (ii) one (1) Trading Day after the Company’s receipt of the Aggregate Exercise Price (or valid notice of a Cashless Exercise) (such later date, the “Share Delivery Date”) shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement, after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) and prior to the Holder’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to the Holder (or its designee) in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) with respect to which the Holder has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, and for which the Holder has not yet settled. From the Issuance Date through and including the Expiration Date, the Company shall maintain a transfer agent that participates in FAST.

(b) Exercise Price. For purposes of this Warrant, “Exercise Price” means $24.00, subject to adjustment as provided herein.

(c) Company’s Failure to Timely Deliver Securities. If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, on or prior to the Share Delivery Date, either (I) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in FAST, to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate for the number of Warrant Shares to which the

Ann. M-2

Holder is entitled and register such Warrant Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in FAST, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise of this Warrant (as the case may be) or (II) if a Registration Statement covering the resale of the Warrant Shares that are the subject of the Exercise Notice (the “Unavailable Warrant Shares”) is not available for the resale of such Unavailable Warrant Shares and the Company fails to promptly, but in no event later than as required pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (x) so notify the Holder and (y) deliver the Warrant Shares electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian system (the event described in the immediately foregoing clause (II) is hereinafter referred as a “Notice Failure” and together with the event described in clause (I) above, a “Delivery Failure”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, (X) the Company shall pay in cash to the Holder on each day after the Share Delivery Date and during such Delivery Failure an amount equal to 1% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Holder on or prior to the Share Delivery Date and to which the Holder is entitled, multiplied by (B) any trading price of the Common Stock selected by the Holder in writing as in effect at any time during the period beginning on the applicable Exercise Date and ending on the applicable Share Delivery Date, and (Y) the Holder, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exercise Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the voiding of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Date either (I) the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver to the Holder (or its designee) a certificate and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder or pursuant to the Company’s obligation pursuant to clause (ii) below or (II) a Notice Failure occurs, and if on or after such Share Delivery Date the Holder acquires (in an open market transaction, stock loan or otherwise) shares of Common Stock corresponding to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise that the Holder is entitled to receive from the Company and has not received from the Company in connection with such Delivery Failure or Notice Failure, as applicable (a “Buy-In”), then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Holder, the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, stock loan costs and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so acquired (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Holder) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such Warrant Shares) shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates representing such Warrant Shares or credit the balance account of such Holder or such Holder’s designee, as applicable, with DTC for the number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder (as the case may be) and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Warrant Shares multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this clause (ii) (the “Buy-In Payment Amount”). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) upon the exercise of this Warrant as required pursuant to the terms hereof. While this Warrant is outstanding, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to participate in FAST. In addition to the foregoing rights, (i) if the Company fails to deliver the applicable number of Warrant Shares upon an exercise pursuant to Section 1 by the applicable Share Delivery Date, then the Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise in whole or in part and retain and/or have the Company return, as the case may be, any

Ann. M-3

portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an exercise shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and (ii) if a registration statement covering the issuance or resale of the Warrant Shares that are subject to an Exercise Notice is not available for the issuance or resale, as applicable, of such Warrant Shares and the Holder has submitted an Exercise Notice prior to receiving notice of the non-availability of such registration statement and the Company has not already delivered the Warrant Shares underlying such Exercise Notice electronically without any restrictive legend by crediting such aggregate number of Warrant Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such exercise to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit / Withdrawal At Custodian system, the Holder shall have the option, by delivery of notice to the Company, to (x) rescind such Exercise Notice in whole or in part and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Warrant that has not been exercised pursuant to such Exercise Notice; provided that the rescission of an Exercise Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligation to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(c) or otherwise, and/or (y) switch some or all of such Exercise Notice from a cash exercise to a Cashless Exercise.

(d) Cashless Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary (other than Section 1(f) below), if, at any time of exercise hereof following the one-year anniversary of the Form 10 Disclosure Filing Date, a Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is not effective (or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) for the resale by the Holder of all of the Warrant Shares, then the Holder may, in its sole discretion, exercise this Warrant in whole or in part and, in lieu of making the cash payment otherwise contemplated to be made to the Company upon such exercise in payment of the Aggregate Exercise Price, elect instead to receive upon such exercise the “Net Number” of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):

Net Number =	(A x B) - (A x C)
	B
For purposes of the foregoing formula:

A = the total number of shares with respect to which this Warrant is then being exercised.

B = as elected by the Holder: (i) the VWAP of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is (1) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a day that is not a Trading Day or (2) both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof on a Trading Day prior to the opening of “regular trading hours” (as defined in Rule 600(b)(64) of Regulation NMS promulgated under the federal securities laws) on such Trading Day, (ii) at the option of the Holder, either (y) the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the applicable Exercise Notice or (z) the Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock as of the time of the Holder’s execution of the applicable Exercise Notice if such Exercise Notice is executed during “regular trading hours” on a Trading Day and is delivered within two (2) hours thereafter pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof, or (iii) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the date of the applicable Exercise Notice if the date of such Exercise Notice is a Trading Day and such Exercise Notice is both executed and delivered pursuant to Section 1(a) hereof after the close of “regular trading hours” on such Trading Day.

C = the Exercise Price then in effect for the applicable Warrant Shares at the time of such exercise.

If the Warrant Shares are issued in a Cashless Exercise, the parties acknowledge and agree that in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act, the Warrant Shares take on the registered characteristics of the Warrants being exercised. For purposes of Rule 144(d) promulgated under the 1933 Act, as in effect on the Subscription Date, it is intended that the Warrant Shares issued in a Cashless Exercise shall be deemed to have been acquired by the Holder, and the holding period for the Warrant Shares shall be deemed to have commenced, on the date this Warrant was originally issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement.

(e) Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Exercise Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Warrant Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company shall promptly issue to the Holder the number of Warrant Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 15.

Ann. M-4

(f) Limitations on Exercises. The Company shall not effect the exercise of any portion of this Warrant, and the Holder shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Warrant and any such exercise shall be null and void and treated as if never made, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, the Holder together with the other Attribution Parties collectively would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. For purposes of the foregoing sentence, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and the other Attribution Parties shall include the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Holder and all other Attribution Parties plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of such sentence is being made, but shall exclude shares of Common Stock which would be issuable upon (A) exercise of the remaining, unexercised portion of this Warrant beneficially owned by the Holder or any of the other Attribution Parties and (B) exercise or conversion of the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any convertible notes or convertible preferred stock or warrants, including other SPA Warrants) beneficially owned by the Holder or any other Attribution Party subject to a limitation on conversion or exercise analogous to the limitation contained in this Section 1(f). For purposes of this Section 1(f), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. For purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock the Holder may acquire upon the exercise of this Warrant without exceeding the Maximum Percentage, the Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (x) the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K or other public filing with the SEC, as the case may be, (y) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (z) any other written notice by the Company or the Transfer Agent, if any, setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (the “Reported Outstanding Share Number”). If the Company receives an Exercise Notice from the Holder at a time when the actual number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is less than the Reported Outstanding Share Number, the Company shall (i) notify the Holder in writing of the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding and, to the extent that such Exercise Notice would otherwise cause the Holder’s beneficial ownership, as determined pursuant to this Section 1(f), to exceed the Maximum Percentage, the Holder must notify the Company of a reduced number of Warrant Shares to be acquired pursuant to such Exercise Notice (the number of shares by which such purchase is reduced, the “Reduction Shares”) and (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, the Company shall return to the Holder any exercise price paid by the Holder for the Reduction Shares. For any reason at any time, upon the written or oral request of the Holder, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing or by electronic mail to the Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to the conversion or exercise of securities of the Company, including this Warrant, by the Holder and any other Attribution Party since the date as of which the Reported Outstanding Share Number was reported. In the event that the issuance of shares of Common Stock to the Holder upon exercise of this Warrant results in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties being deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, more than the Maximum Percentage of the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock (as determined under Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act), the number of shares so issued by which the Holder’s and the other Attribution Parties’ aggregate beneficial ownership exceeds the Maximum Percentage (the “Excess Shares”) shall be deemed null and void and shall be cancelled ab initio, and the Holder shall not have the power to vote or to transfer the Excess Shares. As soon as reasonably practicable after the issuance of the Excess Shares has been deemed null and void, the Company shall return to the Holder the exercise price paid by the Holder for the Excess Shares. Upon delivery of a written notice to the Company, the Holder may from time to time increase (with such increase not effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after delivery of such notice) or decrease the Maximum Percentage to any other percentage not in excess of 9.99% as specified in such notice; provided that (i) any such increase in the Maximum Percentage will not be effective until the sixty-first (61^st) day after such notice is delivered to the Company and (ii) any such increase or decrease will apply only to the Holder and the other Attribution Parties and not to any other holder of SPA Warrants that is not an Attribution Party of the Holder. For purposes of clarity, the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the terms of this Warrant in excess of the Maximum Percentage shall not be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Holder for any purpose including for purposes of Section 13(d) or Rule 16a-1(a)(1) of the 1934 Act. No prior inability to exercise this Warrant pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exercisability. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the

Ann. M-5

terms of this Section 1(f) to the extent necessary to correct this paragraph or any portion of this paragraph which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended beneficial ownership limitation contained in this Section 1(f) or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitation contained in this paragraph may not be waived and shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant.

(g) Reservation of Shares.

(i) Required Reserve Amount. So long as this Warrant remains outstanding, the Company shall at all times keep reserved for issuance under this Warrant a number of shares of Common Stock at least equal to 100% of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation to issue shares of Common Stock under the SPA Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercise) (the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 1(g)(i) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise or redemption of SPA Warrants or such other event covered by Section 2(a) below. The Required Reserve Amount (including, without limitation, each increase in the number of shares so reserved) shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of the SPA Warrants based on number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of SPA Warrants held by each holder on the Closing Date (without regard to any limitations on exercise) or increase in the number of reserved shares, as the case may be (the “Authorized Share Allocation”). In the event that a holder shall sell or otherwise transfer any of such holder’s SPA Warrants, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion of such holder’s Authorized Share Allocation. Any shares of Common Stock reserved and allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any SPA Warrants shall be allocated to the remaining holders of SPA Warrants, pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the SPA Warrants then held by such holders (without regard to any limitations on exercise).

(ii) Insufficient Authorized Shares. If, notwithstanding Section 1(g)(i) above, and not in limitation thereof, at any time while any of the SPA Warrants remain outstanding, the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve the Required Reserve Amount (an “Authorized Share Failure”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for all the SPA Warrants then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such time of an Authorized Share Failure, the Company is able to obtain the written consent of a majority of the shares of its issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock to approve the increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company may satisfy this obligation by obtaining such consent and submitting for filing with the SEC an Information Statement on Schedule 14C. In the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon an exercise of this Warrant due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “Authorization Failure Shares”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Holder, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the cancellation of such portion of this Warrant exercisable into such Authorization Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Holder delivers the applicable Exercise Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 1(g); and (ii) to the extent the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of

Ann. M-6

Authorization Failure Shares, any Buy-In Payment Amount, brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Holder incurred in connection therewith. Nothing contained in this Section 1(g) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

2. ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE AND NUMBER OF WARRANT SHARES. The Exercise Price and number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are subject to adjustment from time to time as set forth in this Section 2.

(a) Stock Dividends and Splits. Without limiting any provision of Section 3 or Section 4, if the Company, at any time on or after the Subscription Date, (i) pays a stock dividend on one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock or otherwise makes a distribution on any class of capital stock that is payable in shares of Common Stock, (ii) subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares or (iii) combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, and any adjustment pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. If any event requiring an adjustment under this paragraph occurs during the period that an Exercise Price is calculated hereunder, then the calculation of such Exercise Price shall be adjusted appropriately to reflect such event.

(b) Extraordinary Dividends. If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding and unexpired, shall pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of the shares of Common Stock on account of such Common Stock (or other shares of the Company’s capital stock into which this Warrant is convertible), other than (a) as described in subsection 2(a) above, or (b) Ordinary Cash Dividends (as defined below) (any such non-excluded event being referred to herein as an “Extraordinary Dividend”), then the Exercise Price shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such Extraordinary Dividend, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value (as determined by the board of directors of the Company, in good faith) of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Common Stock in respect of such Extraordinary Dividend. For purposes of this subsection 2(b), “Ordinary Cash Dividends” means any cash dividend or cash distribution which, when combined on a per share basis, with the per share amounts of all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Common Stock during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in other subsections of this Section 2 and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the Warrant Price or to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable on exercise of this Warrant) does not exceed $0.50.

(c) Number of Warrant Shares. Simultaneously with any adjustment to the Exercise Price pursuant to this Section 2(a) or Section 2(b), the number of Warrant Shares that may be purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Exercise Price payable hereunder for the adjusted number of Warrant Shares shall be the same as the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment (without regard to any limitations on exercise contained herein).

(d) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made by rounding to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100^th of a share, as applicable. The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any such shares shall be considered an issuance or sale of Common Stock.

(e) Voluntary Adjustment By Company. Subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market, the Company may at any time during the term of this Warrant, with the prior written consent of the Required Holders (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), reduce the then current Exercise Price to any amount and for any period of time deemed appropriate by the board of directors of the Company.

4. PURCHASE RIGHTS; FUNDAMENTAL TRANSACTIONS.

(a) Purchase Rights. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 2 above, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any Options, Convertible Securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Holder could have acquired if the Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon complete exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations or restrictions on exercise of this Warrant, including without limitation, the Maximum Percentage) immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights (provided, however, that to the extent that the Holder’s right to participate in any such Purchase Right would result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, then the Holder shall not be entitled to participate in such Purchase Right to the extent of the Maximum Percentage (and shall not be entitled to beneficial ownership of such shares of Common Stock as a result of such Purchase Right (and beneficial ownership) to the extent of any such excess) and such Purchase Right to such extent shall be held in abeyance for the benefit of the Holder until such time or times, if ever, as its right thereto would not result in the Holder and the other Attribution Parties exceeding the Maximum Percentage, at which time or times the Holder shall be granted such right (and any Purchase Right granted, issued or sold on such initial Purchase Right or on any subsequent Purchase Right held similarly in abeyance) to the same extent as if there had been no such limitation).

(b) Fundamental Transactions. The Company shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i)  the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Holder and approved by the Holder prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Holder in exchange for this Warrant a security of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Warrant, including, without limitation, which is exercisable for a corresponding number of shares of capital stock equivalent to the shares of Common Stock acquirable and receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant) prior to such Fundamental Transaction, and with an exercise price which applies the exercise price hereunder to such shares of capital stock (but taking into account the relative value of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to such Fundamental Transaction and the value of such shares of capital stock, such adjustments to the number of shares of capital stock and such exercise price being for the purpose of protecting the economic value of this Warrant immediately prior to the consummation of such Fundamental Transaction) and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Company and shall assume all of the obligations of the Company under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Company herein. Upon consummation of each Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction, in lieu of the shares of Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction, such shares of publicly traded common stock (or its equivalent) of the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant), as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting Section 1(f) hereof, the Holder may elect, at its sole option, by delivery of written notice to the Company to waive this Section 4(b) to permit the Fundamental Transaction without the assumption of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of each Fundamental Transaction pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are

Ann. M-8

entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock (a “Corporate Event”), the Company shall make appropriate provision to insure that the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the applicable Fundamental Transaction but prior to the Expiration Date, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property (except such items still issuable under Section 4(a) above, which shall continue to be receivable thereafter)) issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant prior to such Fundamental Transaction, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of the applicable Fundamental Transaction had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to the applicable Fundamental Transaction (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant). Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder.

(c) Application. The provisions of this Section  shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and Corporate Events and shall be applied as if this Warrant (and any such subsequent warrants) were fully exercisable and without regard to any limitations on the exercise of this Warrant (provided that the Holder shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the Maximum Percentage, applied however with respect to shares of capital stock registered under the 1934 Act and thereafter receivable upon exercise of this Warrant (or any such other warrant)).

5. NONCIRCUMVENTION. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Company will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), Bylaws (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Warrant and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of the Holder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon the exercise of this Warrant above the Exercise Price then in effect, and (b) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the sixty (60) calendar day anniversary of the Issuance Date, the Holder is not permitted to exercise this Warrant in full for any reason (other than pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 1(f) hereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to promptly remedy such failure, including, without limitation, obtaining such consents or approvals as necessary to permit such exercise into shares of Common Stock.

6. WARRANT HOLDER NOT DEEMED A STOCKHOLDER. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of this Warrant, shall not be entitled to vote or receive dividends or be deemed the holder of share capital of the Company for any purpose, nor shall anything contained in this Warrant be construed to confer upon the Holder, solely in its capacity as the Holder of this Warrant, any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote, give or withhold consent to any corporate action (whether any reorganization, issue of stock, reclassification of stock, consolidation, merger, conveyance or otherwise), receive notice of meetings, receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise, prior to the issuance to the Holder of the Warrant Shares which it is then entitled to receive upon the due exercise of this Warrant. In addition, nothing contained in this Warrant shall be construed as imposing any liabilities on the Holder to purchase any securities (upon exercise of this Warrant or otherwise) or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company. Notwithstanding this Section 6, the Company shall provide the Holder with copies of the same notices and other information given to the stockholders of the Company generally, contemporaneously with the giving thereof to the stockholders.

7. REISSUANCE OF WARRANTS.

(a) Transfer of Warrant. If this Warrant is to be transferred, the Holder shall surrender this Warrant to the Company, whereupon the Company will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)), registered as the Holder may request, representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares being transferred by the Holder and, if less than the total number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant is being transferred, a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) to the Holder representing the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares not being transferred.

Ann. M-9

(b) Lost, Stolen or Mutilated Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant (as to which a written certification and the indemnification contemplated below shall suffice as such evidence), and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of any indemnification undertaking by the Holder to the Company in customary and reasonable form and, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder a new Warrant (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant.

(c) Exchangeable for Multiple Warrants. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender hereof by the Holder at the principal office of the Company, for a new Warrant or Warrants (in accordance with Section 7(d)) representing in the aggregate the right to purchase the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant, and each such new Warrant will represent the right to purchase such portion of such Warrant Shares as is designated by the Holder at the time of such surrender; provided, however, no warrants for fractional shares of Common Stock shall be given.

(d) Issuance of New Warrants. Whenever the Company is required to issue a new Warrant pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, such new Warrant (i) shall be of like tenor with this Warrant, (ii) shall represent, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant, the right to purchase the Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant (or in the case of a new Warrant being issued pursuant to Section 7(a) or Section 7(c), the Warrant Shares designated by the Holder which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the other new Warrants issued in connection with such issuance, does not exceed the number of Warrant Shares then underlying this Warrant), (iii) shall have an issuance date, as indicated on the face of such new Warrant which is the same as the Issuance Date, and (iv) shall have the same rights and conditions as this Warrant.

8. NOTICES. Whenever notice is required to be given under this Warrant, unless otherwise provided herein, such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. The Company shall provide the Holder with prompt written notice of all actions taken pursuant to this Warrant (other than the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise in accordance with the terms hereof), including in reasonable detail a description of such action and the reason therefor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will give written notice to the Holder (i) immediately upon each adjustment of the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail, and certifying, the calculation of such adjustment(s), (ii) at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which the Company closes its books or takes a record (A) with respect to any dividend or distribution upon the shares of Common Stock, or (B) for determining rights to vote with respect to any Fundamental Transaction, dissolution or liquidation, provided in each case that such information shall be made known to the public prior to or in conjunction with such notice being provided to the Holder, and (iii) at least ten (10) Trading Days prior to the consummation of any Fundamental Transaction. To the extent that any notice provided hereunder constitutes, or contains, material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall simultaneously file such notice with the SEC (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) pursuant to a Current Report on Form 8-K. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provides material non-public information to the Holder that is not simultaneously filed in a Current Report on Form 8-K and the Holder has not agreed to receive such material non-public information, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Holder shall not have any duty of confidentiality to the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to, or a duty to any of the foregoing not to trade on the basis of, such material non-public information. It is expressly understood and agreed that the time of execution specified by the Holder in each Exercise Notice shall be definitive and may not be disputed or challenged by the Company.

9. DISCLOSURE. Upon delivery by the Company to the Holder (or receipt by the Company from the Holder) of any notice in accordance with the terms of this Warrant, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company shall on or prior to 9:00 am, New York city time on the Business Day immediately following such notice delivery date, publicly disclose such material, non-public information on a Current Report on Form 8-K or otherwise. In the event that the Company believes that a notice contains material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Company so shall indicate to the Holder explicitly in writing in such notice (or immediately upon receipt of notice from the Holder, as applicable), and in the absence of any such written indication in such notice (or notification from the Company immediately upon receipt of notice

Ann. M-10

from the Holder), the Holder shall be entitled to presume that information contained in the notice does not constitute material, non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Nothing contained in this Section 9 shall limit any obligations of the Company, or any rights of the Holder, under Section 4(i) of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

10. ABSENCE OF TRADING AND DISCLOSURE RESTRICTIONS. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Holder is not a fiduciary or agent of the Company and that the Holder shall have no obligation to (a) maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by the Company or (b) refrain from trading any securities while in possession of such information in the absence of a written non-disclosure agreement signed by an officer of the Holder that explicitly provides for such confidentiality and trading restrictions. In the absence of such an executed, written non-disclosure agreement, the Company acknowledges that the Holder may freely trade in any securities issued by the Company, may possess and use any information provided by the Company in connection with such trading activity, and may disclose any such information to any third party.

11. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except for Section 1(f) of this Warrant, which may not be amended, modified or waived, this Warrant may only be amended or modified by written instrument executed by both the Company and the Holder. Any amendment or modification or so approved shall be binding upon all existing and future holders of this Warrant.

12. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Warrant is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Warrant so long as this Warrant as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

13. GOVERNING LAW. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with, and all questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and performance of this Warrant shall be governed by, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. The Company hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to the Company at the address set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. The Company hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Holder from bringing suit or taking other legal action against the Company in any other jurisdiction to collect on the Company’s obligations to the Holder, to realize on any collateral or any other security for such obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Holder. THE COMPANY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS WARRANT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(ii) The Holder and the Company shall each deliver to such investment bank (A) a copy of the initial dispute submission so delivered in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 15 and (B) written documentation supporting its position with respect to such dispute, in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) by the fifth (5^th) Business Day immediately following the date on which the Holder selected such investment bank (the “Dispute Submission Deadline”) (the documents referred to in the immediately preceding clauses (A) and (B) are collectively referred to herein as the “Required Dispute Documentation”) (it being understood and agreed that if either the Holder or the Company fails to so deliver all of the Required Dispute Documentation by the Dispute Submission Deadline, then the party who fails to so submit all of the Required Dispute Documentation shall no longer be entitled to (and hereby waives its right to) deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank with respect to such dispute and such investment bank shall resolve such dispute based solely on the Required Dispute Documentation that was delivered to such investment bank prior to the Dispute Submission Deadline). Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by both the Company and the Holder or otherwise requested by such investment bank, neither the Company nor the Holder shall be entitled to deliver or submit any written documentation or other support to such investment bank in connection with such dispute (other than the Required Dispute Documentation).

The fees and expenses of such investment bank shall be borne solely by the Company, and such investment bank’s resolution of such dispute shall be final and binding upon all parties absent manifest error.

(b) Miscellaneous. The Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Section 15 constitutes an agreement to arbitrate between the Company and the Holder (and constitutes an arbitration agreement) under the rules then in effect § 7501, et seq. of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (“CPLR”) and that the Holder is authorized to apply for an order to compel arbitration pursuant to CPLR § 7503(a) in order to compel compliance with this Section 15, (ii) the terms of this Warrant and each other applicable Transaction Document shall serve as the basis for the selected investment bank’s resolution of the applicable dispute, such investment bank shall be entitled (and is hereby expressly authorized) to make all findings, determinations and the like that such investment bank determines are required to be made by such investment bank in connection with its resolution of such dispute and in resolving such dispute such investment bank shall apply such findings, determinations and the like to the terms of this Warrant and any other applicable Transaction Documents, (iii) the Holder (and only the Holder), in its sole discretion, shall have the right to submit any dispute described in this

Ann. M-12

Section 15 to any state or federal court sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, in lieu of utilizing the procedures set forth in this Section 15 and (iv) nothing in this Section 15 shall limit the Holder from obtaining any injunctive relief or other equitable remedies (including, without limitation, with respect to any matters described in this Section 15).

16. REMEDIES, CHARACTERIZATION, OTHER OBLIGATIONS, BREACHES AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. The remedies provided in this Warrant shall be cumulative and in addition to all other remedies available under this Warrant and the other Transaction Documents, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), and nothing herein shall limit the right of the Holder to pursue actual and consequential damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Warrant. The Company covenants to the Holder that there shall be no characterization concerning this instrument other than as expressly provided herein. Amounts set forth or provided for herein with respect to payments, exercises and the like (and the computation thereof) shall be the amounts to be received by the Holder and shall not, except as expressly provided herein, be subject to any other obligation of the Company (or the performance thereof). The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Holder and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the holder of this Warrant shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security. The Company shall provide all information and documentation to the Holder that is requested by the Holder to enable the Holder to confirm the Company’s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Warrant (including, without limitation, compliance with Section 2 hereof). The issuance of shares and certificates for shares as contemplated hereby upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Holder or such shares for any issuance tax or other costs in respect thereof, provided that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than the Holder or its agent on its behalf.

17. PAYMENT OF COLLECTION, ENFORCEMENT AND OTHER COSTS.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Collateral Agent or any Buyer under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Transaction Party.

(b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Collateral Agent and each Buyer, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal,

The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be as a primary obligor (and not merely as a surety) and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document;

(ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or extension of the maturity of any Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;

(iv) any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Transaction Party;

(vi) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Transaction Party under the Note Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vii) any failure of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the Collateral Agent or any Buyer (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose such information);

(viii) taking any action in furtherance of the release of any Guarantor or any other Person that is liable for the Obligations from all or any part of any liability arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent; or

(ix) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or surety other than the defense of Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Buyer, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(c) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date

SECTION 4. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest, notice of acceptance and any other notice or formality of any kind with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Collateral Agent exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Collateral Agent or a Buyer.

SECTION 5. Subrogation. No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Document, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Collateral Agent of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collateral Agent will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers under any Transaction Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to exercise any of their respective rights or remedies under any other Transaction Document against such party or against any other Person.

(d) Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(e) This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note (other than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors, and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns.

None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of each Buyer.

(g) This Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents reflect the entire understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, entered into before the date hereof.

SECTION 15. Currency Indemnity.

If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under this Guaranty in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of courts of the jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date,

Any amount due from the Guarantors under this Section 15 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Guaranty.

Each Grantor will maintain or cause to be maintained and preserved in good condition, repair and working order, ordinary wear and tear and casualty excepted, the Equipment (necessary or useful to its business) and will forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage to any such Equipment of any Grantor within a commercially reasonable time after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be made all repairs, replacements and other improvements in connection therewith which are necessary or desirable, consistent with past practice, or which the Collateral Agent may request to such end. Any Grantor will promptly furnish to the Collateral Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail any such loss or damage in excess of $50,000 per occurrence to any Equipment.

(d) Each Grantor agrees to pay promptly when due all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all material claims (including claims for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Equipment and Inventory, except to the extent the validity thereof is being contested in good faith by proper proceedings

(e) Insurance.

(i) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance (including, without limitation, comprehensive general liability, hazard, rent and business interruption insurance) with respect to its properties (including all real properties leased or owned by it) and business, in such amounts and covering such risks, in such form and with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations as is required by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated and in any event, in amount, adequacy and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

(ii) To the extent requested by the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time, each such policy shall (A) name the Collateral Agent as an additional insured party and/or loss payee, as applicable, thereunder (without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Collateral Agent) as its interests may appear, and (B) provide that at least 30 days’ (or 10 days in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice of cancellation, lapse, expiration or other adverse change shall be given to the Collateral Agent by the insurer. Any Grantor will, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent original or duplicate policies of such insurance (including certificates demonstrating compliance with this Section 6(e)) and, as often as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, a report of a reputable insurance broker with respect to such insurance. Any Grantor will also, at the request of the Collateral Agent, execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the respective insurers to acknowledge notice of such assignment.

(iii) Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all insurance payments in respect of each Grantor’s properties and business shall, at the written request of the Collateral Agent, be paid to the Collateral Agent and applied as specified in Section hereof.

Ann. O-13

(f) Provisions Concerning Name, Organization, Location, Accounts and Licenses.

(i) Each Grantor will (A) give the Collateral Agent at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice of any change in such Grantor’s name, identity or organizational structure, (B) maintain its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation as set forth in Schedule I hereto, (C) promptly notify the Collateral Agent upon obtaining an organizational identification number, if on the date hereof such Grantor did not have such identification number, and (D) keep adequate records concerning the Collateral and permit representatives of the Collateral Agent during normal business hours on reasonable notice to such Grantor, to inspect and make abstracts from such records.

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default to notify the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts of the assignment of such Accounts to the Collateral Agent and to direct such Account Debtors or obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to any Grantor thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or its designated agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of any Grantor and to the extent permitted by applicable law, to enforce collection of any such Accounts and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as any Grantor might have done. After receipt by any Grantor of a notice from the Collateral Agent that the Collateral Agent has notified, intends to notify, or has enforced or intends to enforce any Grantor’s rights against the Account Debtors or obligors under any Accounts as referred to in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (A) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, Instruments) received by any Grantor in respect of the Accounts shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent hereunder (for the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders), shall be segregated from other funds of any Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied as specified in Section hereof, and (B) no Grantor will adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any Account or release wholly or partly any Account Debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) direct any or all of the banks and financial institutions with which any Grantor either maintains a Deposit Account or a lockbox (including, without limitation, any Controlled Account) or deposits the proceeds of any Accounts to send promptly to the Collateral Agent by wire transfer (to such deposit account as the Collateral Agent shall specify, or in such other manner as the Collateral Agent shall direct) all or a portion of such Securities, cash, investments and other items held by such institution. Any such Securities, cash, investments and other items so received by the Collateral Agent shall be applied as specified in accordance with Section hereof

(iii) Each Grantor will duly perform and observe all of its material obligations under each material License and will take commercially reasonable actions to maintain such Licenses in full force and effect.

(g) Other Liens. No Grantor will create, suffer to exist or grant any Lien upon or with respect to any Collateral other than a Permitted Lien.

(h) Intellectual Property.

(i) If applicable, each Grantor shall duly execute and deliver the applicable Intellectual Property Security Agreement. Each Grantor will, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its licensees to, maintain the Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business in full force and effect; provided, however, that no Grantor shall have an obligation to use or to maintain any Intellectual Property (A) that relates solely to any product or work, that is no longer necessary or material or has been, or is in the process of being, discontinued, abandoned or terminated in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the exercise of reasonable business judgment, (B) that is being replaced with Intellectual Property substantially similar to the Intellectual Property that may be abandoned or otherwise become invalid, so long as the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such replacement Intellectual Property is subject to the Lien created by this Agreement and does not have a material adverse effect on the business of any Grantor or (C) that is substantially the same as other Intellectual Property that is in full force, so long the failure to use or maintain such Intellectual Property does not materially adversely affect the validity of such replacement Intellectual Property and so long as such other Intellectual Property is

Ann. O-14

subject to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement and does not have a material adverse effect on the business of any Grantor. Each Grantor will take commercially reasonable actions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or agency in any other country or political subdivision thereof to maintain each registration of the Intellectual Property and application for registration of Intellectual Property that is owned by the Grantor and necessary for the conduct of its business (other than the Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence), including, without limitation, filing of renewals, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings and payment of maintenance fees, filing fees, taxes or other governmental charges or fees. If any Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of the Grantor’s business (other than Intellectual Property described in the proviso to the second sentence of subsection (i) of this clause (h)) is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, each Grantor shall (x) upon learning of such infringement, misappropriation, dilution or other violation, promptly notify the Collateral Agent and (y) promptly take such actions as such Grantor shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property. Each Grantor shall furnish to the Collateral Agent from time to time upon its reasonable request statements and schedules further identifying and describing any registrations or applications of Patent, Trademark or Copyright newly filed or acquired by the Grantor, following receipt by the Collateral Agent of any such statements or schedules, each Grantor shall modify this Agreement by amending Schedule II hereto, as the case may be, to include any Intellectual Property, as the case may be, which is or hereafter becomes part of the Collateral under this Agreement and shall execute and authenticate such documents and do such acts as shall be necessary or, in the reasonable judgment of the Collateral Agent, desirable to subject such Intellectual Property and Licenses to the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Grantor may abandon, surrender or cancel or otherwise permit any material Intellectual Property to become abandoned, surrendered, cancelled or invalid without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion), and if any material Intellectual Property is infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated in any material respect by a third party, each Grantor will take such reasonable action as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Intellectual Property.

(ii) Upon request of the Collateral Agent, any Grantor shall execute, authenticate and deliver any and all assignments, agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder in any registrations or applications of Patents, Trademark or Copyright newly filed or acquired by the Grantor and the General Intangibles of any Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby, and each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent its attorney-in-fact to execute and/or authenticate and file all such writings for the foregoing purposes, all acts of such attorney being hereby ratified and confirmed, and such power (being coupled with an interest) shall be irrevocable until all Obligations are fully performed and Paid in Full.

(i) [Reserved]

(j) Pledged Accounts. Section 14(p) of the Notes is hereby incorporated by reference.

(k) Control. Each Grantor hereby agrees to take any or all action that may be reasonably necessary or that the Collateral Agent may reasonably request in order for the Collateral Agent to obtain “control” in accordance with Sections 9-105 through 9-107 of the Code with respect to the following Collateral: (i) Electronic Chattel Paper, (ii) Investment Property, and (iii) Letter-of-Credit Rights, in each case, having a value in excess of $250,000.

(l) Inspection and Reporting. Each Grantor shall permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountant or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate (at Grantors’ sole cost and expense), in each case (except during the continuation of an Event of Default) during normal business hours on reasonable notice to such Grantor and in a manner that will not unreasonably burden the business operations of any Grantor, (i) to examine and make copies of and abstracts from any Grantor’s Records and books of account, (ii) to visit and inspect its properties, (iii) to verify materials, leases, Instruments, Accounts, Inventory and other assets of any Grantor from time to time, and (iv) to conduct audits, physical counts, appraisals, valuations and/or examinations at the locations of any Grantor. Each Grantor

Ann. O-15

shall also permit the Collateral Agent, or any agent or representatives thereof or such attorneys, accountants or other professionals or other Persons as the Collateral Agent may designate to discuss such Grantor’s affairs, finances and accounts with any of its directors, officers, attorneys, or independent accountants.

(m) Future Subsidiaries. If any Grantor hereafter creates or acquires any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary), within thirty (30) days following the creation or acquisition of such Subsidiary, such Grantor shall (i) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to become a party to this Agreement as an additional “Grantor” hereunder, (ii) deliver to the Collateral Agent updated Schedules to this Agreement, as appropriate (including, without limitation, an updated Schedule IV to reflect the grant by such Grantor of a Lien on and security interest in all Pledged Debt and Pledged Equity now or hereafter owned by such Grantor), (iii) if such Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary, cause such Subsidiary to duly execute and deliver a guaranty of the Obligations in favor of the Collateral Agent in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, (iv) deliver to the Collateral Agent the stock certificates representing all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, along with undated stock powers for each such certificates, executed in blank (or, if any such shares of Capital Stock are uncertificated, confirmation and evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent that the security interest in such uncertificated securities has been transferred to and perfected by the Collateral Agent, in accordance with Section 8-106 of the Code or any other similar or local or foreign law that may be applicable), and (v) duly execute and/or cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, in form and substance acceptable to the Collateral Agent, such opinions of counsel and other documents as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request with respect thereto; provided, however, that no Grantor shall be required to pledge any Excluded Collateral. Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to attach such updated Schedules to this Agreement and agrees that all Pledged Equity and Pledged Debt listed on any updated Schedule delivered to the Collateral Agent shall for all purposes hereunder be considered Collateral. The Grantors agree that the pledge of the shares of Capital Stock acquired by a Grantor of a Foreign Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) may be supplemented by one or more separate pledge agreements, deeds of pledge, share charges, or other similar agreements or instruments, executed and delivered by the relevant Grantor in favor of the Collateral Agent, which pledge agreements will provide for the pledge of such shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the laws of the applicable foreign jurisdiction. With respect to such shares of Capital Stock, the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time, in its sole discretion, take actions in such foreign jurisdictions that will result in the perfection of the Lien created in such shares of Capital Stock.

SECTION 7. Additional Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, and for the purpose of taking any action that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, each Grantor hereby (i) authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from time to time to file, one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral (including, without limitation, any such financing statements that (A) describe the Collateral as “all assets” or “all personal property” (or words of similar effect) or that describe or identify the Collateral by type or in any other manner as the Collateral Agent may determine regardless of whether any particular asset of such Grantor falls within the scope of Article 9 of the Code or whether any particular asset of such Grantor constitutes part of the Collateral, and (B) contain any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9 of the Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance of any financing statement, continuation statement or amendment, including, without limitation, whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor) and (iii) ratifies such authorization to the extent that the Collateral Agent has filed any such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Collateral Agent as its attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or otherwise, in the Collateral Agent’s discretion, solely following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section hereof, (ii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any Collateral, (iii) to receive, endorse, and collect any drafts or other Instruments, Documents and

Ann. O-16

Chattel Paper in connection with clause (i) or (ii) above, (iv) to file any claims or take any action or institute any action, suit or proceedings which the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, (v) to execute assignments, licenses and other documents to enforce the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders with respect to any Collateral, and (vi) to verify any and all information with respect to any and all Accounts. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are fully performed and Paid in Full.

(c) For the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies hereunder, at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, and for no other purpose, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, to the extent assignable, an irrevocable (but terminable in accordance with this clause (c)), non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Grantor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property in which such Grantor now or hereafter has any right, title or interest, wherever the same may be located, including, without limitation, in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, to the extent that such license is permissible under the Grantor’s agreements with third parties regarding such Intellectual Property and applicable law; provided that (i) such license may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, only when an Event of Default exists and is continuing, and (ii) any license or sublicense granted by the Collateral Agent to a third party with respect to such Intellectual Property shall include reasonable and customary terms and conditions necessary to preserve the existence, validity and value of the affected Intellectual Property, including provisions requiring the continuing confidential handling of trade secrets, provisions requiring the use of appropriate notices and prohibiting the use of false notices, quality control and inurement provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to Patents, copyright notices and restrictions on decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement that limit the right of any Grantor to dispose of its property, and Section and Section hereof, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Grantor may exploit, use, enjoy, protect, license, sublicense, assign, sell, dispose of or take other actions with respect to the Intellectual Property in the ordinary course of its business and as otherwise expressly permitted by any of the other Transaction Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall from time to time, upon the request of any Grantor, execute and deliver any instruments, certificates or other documents, in the form so requested, which such Grantor shall have certified are appropriate (in such Grantor’s judgment) to allow it to take any action permitted above (including relinquishment of the license provided pursuant to this clause (c) as to any Intellectual Property). Further, upon the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations, the Collateral Agent (subject to Section hereof) shall release and reassign to any Grantor all of the Collateral Agent’s right, title and interest in and to the Intellectual Property, and the Licenses, all without recourse, representation or warranty whatsoever. The exercise of rights and remedies hereunder by the Collateral Agent shall not terminate the rights of the holders of any licenses or sublicenses theretofore granted by each Grantor in accordance with the second sentence of this clause (c). Each Grantor hereby releases the Collateral Agent from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Collateral Agent under the powers of attorney granted herein other than actions taken or omitted to be taken through the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal.

(d) If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein beyond the expiration of any applicable cure period, the Collateral Agent may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, in the name of such Grantor or the Collateral Agent, and the expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor pursuant to Section 9 hereof and such obligation shall be secured by the Collateral.

(e) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Collateral.

Ann. O-17

(f) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding (i) each Grantor shall remain liable under the Licenses and otherwise with respect to any of the Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its obligations under the Licenses or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, and (iii) the Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement under the Licenses or with respect to any of the other Collateral, nor shall the Collateral Agent be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder

SECTION 8. Remedies Upon Event of Default; Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein, in any other Transaction Document or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral), and also may (i) take absolute control of the Collateral, including, without limitation, transfer into the Collateral Agent’s name or into the name of its nominee or nominees (to the extent the Collateral Agent has not theretofore done so) and thereafter receive, for the ratable benefit of itself and the Noteholders, all payments made thereon, give all consents, waivers and ratifications in respect thereof and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof, (ii) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of its respective Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place or places to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties, and the Collateral Agent may enter into and occupy any premises owned or leased by any Grantor where the Collateral or any part thereof is located or assembled for a reasonable period in order to effectuate the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to any Grantor in respect of such occupation, and (iii) without notice except as specified below and without any obligation to prepare or process the Collateral for sale, (A) sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale (including, without limitation, by credit bid), at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable and/or (B) lease, license or dispose of the Collateral or any part thereof upon such terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or any other disposition of its respective Collateral shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to any Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other disposition of its respective Collateral is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale or other disposition of any Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Grantor hereby waives any claims against the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders arising by reason of the fact that the price at which its respective Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if the Collateral Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Collateral to more than one offeree, and waives all rights that any Grantor may have to require that all or any part of such Collateral be marshaled upon any sale (public or private) thereof. Each Grantor hereby acknowledges that (i) any such sale of its respective Collateral by the Collateral Agent shall be made without warranty, (ii) the Collateral Agent may specifically disclaim any warranties of title, possession, quiet enjoyment or the like, and (iii) such actions set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above shall not adversely affect the commercial reasonableness of any such sale of Collateral. In addition to the foregoing, (1) upon written notice to any Grantor from the Collateral Agent after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall cease any use of the Intellectual Property including in the Collateral for any purpose described in such notice; (2) the Collateral Agent may, at any time and from time to time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Grantor, license, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or a non-exclusive basis, any of the Intellectual Property, throughout the universe for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner, as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine; and (3) the Collateral Agent may, at any time, pursuant to the authority granted in Section 7 hereof or otherwise (such

Ann. O-18

authority being effective upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), execute and deliver on behalf of such Grantor, one or more instruments of assignment of the Intellectual Property (or any application or registration thereof), in form suitable for filing, recording or registration in any country.

(b) Any cash held by the Collateral Agent as Collateral and all Cash Proceeds received by the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale or disposition of or collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied as follows (subject to the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement): first, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Collateral Agent (including, without limitation, those described in Section 9 hereof); second, to pay any fees, indemnities or expense reimbursements then due to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; third to pay interest due under the Notes owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; fourth, to pay or prepay principal in respect of the Notes, whether or not then due, owing to the Noteholders, on a pro rata basis; fifth, to pay or prepay any other Obligations, whether or not then due, in such order and manner as the Collateral Agent shall elect, consistent with the provisions of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or Cash Proceeds held by the Collateral Agent and remaining after the full performance and Payment in Full of all of the Obligations shall be paid over to whomsoever shall be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.

(c) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders are legally entitled, each Grantor shall be, jointly and severally, liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Notes for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs, expenses and other charges of any attorneys employed by the Collateral Agent to collect such deficiency.

(d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that it is commercially reasonable for the Collateral Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses deemed significant by the Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to transform raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors or other Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove Liens on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against Account Debtors and other Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as any Grantor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to the Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants, attorneys and other professionals to assist the Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor acknowledges that the purpose of this section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent would be commercially reasonable in the Collateral Agent’s exercise of rights and remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Collateral Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this section. Without limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this section shall be construed to grant any rights to any Grantor or to impose any duties on the Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this section.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, this Agreement and the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any

Ann. O-19

particular order, and all of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that any Grantor lawfully may, each Grantor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshaling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

SECTION 9. Indemnity and Expenses. Section 9(k) and Section 4(v) of the Securities Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.

SECTION 10. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, first-class postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied, e-mailed or delivered, if to any Grantor, to the Company’s address, or if to the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, to it at its respective address, each as set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement; or as to any such Person, at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to all other parties hereto complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 10. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (a) if sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, when received or five Business Days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (b) if telecopied or e-mailed, when transmitted (during normal business hours) and confirmation is received, and otherwise, the day after the notice or communication was transmitted and confirmation is received, or (c) if delivered in person, upon delivery. For the avoidance of doubt, all Foreign Subsidiaries, as Grantors, hereby appoint the Company as its agent for receipt of service of process and all notices and other communications in the United States at the address specified below.

SECTION 11. Miscellaneous.

(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Required Holders (or Collateral Agent as approved by the Required Holders), and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by each Grantor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by each Grantor and the Required Holders (or Collateral Agent as approved by the Required Holders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to fewer than all of the holders of Notes or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any holder of Notes without such holder’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such holder’s sole and absolute discretion).

(b) No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under any of the other Transaction Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent or any Noteholder under any of the other Transaction Documents against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by such Person to exercise any of its rights or remedies under any of the other Transaction Documents against such party or against any other Person, including but not limited to, any Grantor.

(c) Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien on and security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Payment in Full of the Obligations, and (ii) be binding on each Grantor and all other Persons who become bound as debtor to this Agreement in accordance with Section 9-203(d) of the Code and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders hereunder, to the ratable benefit of the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders and their respective permitted successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, without notice to any Grantor, solely in connection with a transfer of the Notes permitted by the Transaction Documents, the Collateral Agent and

Ann. O-20

the Noteholders may assign or otherwise transfer their rights and obligations under this Agreement and any of the other Transaction Documents, to any other Person and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Collateral Agent and the Noteholders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to the Collateral Agent or any such Noteholder shall mean the assignee of the Collateral Agent or such Noteholder. None of the rights or obligations of any Grantor hereunder may be assigned, delegated or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment, delegation or transfer without such consent of the Collateral Agent shall be null and void.

(e) Upon the Payment in Full of the Obligations, (i) this Agreement and the security interests created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the respective Grantor that granted such security interests hereunder, and (ii) the Collateral Agent will, upon any Grantor’s request and at such Grantor’s expense, (A) return to such Grantor such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination, all without any representation, warranty or recourse whatsoever.

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.

(i) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule of law (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.

(ii) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim, defense or objection that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Collateral Agent or the Noteholders from bringing suit or taking other legal action against any Grantor in any other jurisdiction to collect on a Grantor’s obligations or to enforce a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Collateral Agent or a Noteholder.

(iii) WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GRANTOR IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

(iv) Each Grantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action, suit or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages.

(g) Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

(h) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together constitute one and the same Agreement. Delivery of any executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by pdf, facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Ann. O-21

(i) This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Noteholder or any other Person (upon (i) the occurrence of any Insolvency Proceeding of any of the Company or any Grantor or (ii) otherwise, in all cases as though such payment had not been made).

provided that, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the term “Collateral” as used herein shall not include any Excluded Collateral.

SECTION 2. Security for Obligations. The grant of a Lien on and security interest in, the Collateral by each Grantor under this IP Security Agreement constitutes continuing collateral security for the payment and performance of all Obligations of such Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Notes and the Note Documents, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, reimbursement obligations, interest, premiums, penalties, fees, indemnifications, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise.

2. Registration.

(a) Mandatory Registration. The Company shall prepare and, as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, provided that such initial Registration Statement shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Registration Amount as of the date such Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC; provided further that if Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is required by Section 2(c). Such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the “Selling Stockholders” and “Plan of Distribution” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have such initial Registration Statement, and each other Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement.

(b) Legal Counsel. Subject to Section 5 hereof, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, counsel solely to the lead investor (“Legal Counsel”) shall review and oversee, as outlined in Section 3(c), any registration, solely on behalf of the lead investor, pursuant to this Section 2.

(c) Ineligibility to Use Form S-3. In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of all Registration Statements then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC and the prospectus contained therein is available for use.

(d) Sufficient Number of Shares Registered. In the event the number of shares available under any Registration Statement is insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(h), the Company shall amend such Registration Statement (if permissible), or file with the SEC a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises (but taking account of any Staff position with respect to the date on which the Staff will permit such amendment to the Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to be filed with the SEC). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such amendment to such Registration Statement and/or such new Registration Statement (as the case may be) to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof with the SEC, but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement. For purposes of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to cover all of the Registrable Securities” if at any time the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the applicable Registration Statement is less than the product determined by multiplying (i) the Required Registration Amount as of such time by (ii) 0.90. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization and/or redemption of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants (and such calculation shall assume (A) that the Notes are then convertible in full into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate (as defined in the Notes), (B) the initial outstanding principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding through the scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes) and no redemptions of the Notes occur prior to the scheduled Maturity Date and (C) the Warrants are then exercisable in full into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants)).

Ann. P-3

(e) Effect of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of any Registration Statement. If (i) a Registration Statement covering the resale of all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) and required to be filed by the Company pursuant to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the Filing Deadline for such Registration Statement (a “Filing Failure”) (it being understood that if the Company files a Registration Statement without affording each Investor and Legal Counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(c) hereof, the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(A) and such event shall be deemed to be a Filing Failure) or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the Effectiveness Deadline for such Registration Statement (an “Effectiveness Failure”) (it being understood that if on the Business Day immediately following the Effective Date for such Registration Statement the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for such Registration Statement with the SEC under Rule 424(b) in accordance with Section 3(b) (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule), the Company shall be deemed to not have satisfied this clause (i)(B) and such event shall be deemed to be an Effectiveness Failure), (ii) other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined below), on any day after the Effective Date of a Registration Statement sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement (including, without limitation, because of a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) or any other limitations imposed by the Principal Market, or a failure to register a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock or by reason of a stop order) or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason (a “Maintenance Failure”), or (iii) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use for any reason, and either (x) the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the requirements of Rule 144(c)(1), including, without limitation, the failure to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) or (y) the Company has ever been an issuer described in Rule 144(i)(1)(i) or becomes such an issuer in the future, and the Company shall fail to satisfy any condition set forth in Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Current Public Information Failure”) as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions), then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in, or reduction of, its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement an amount in cash equal to one percent (1%) of such Investor’s original principal amount stated in such Investor’s Note on the Closing Date (1) on the date of such Filing Failure, Effectiveness Failure, Maintenance Failure or Current Public Information Failure, as applicable, and (2) on every thirty (30) day anniversary of (I) a Filing Failure until such Filing Failure is cured; (II) an Effectiveness Failure until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (III) a Maintenance Failure until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (IV) a Current Public Information Failure until the earlier of (i) the date such Current Public Information Failure is cured and (ii) such time that such public information is no longer required pursuant to Rule 144 (in each case, pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty (30) days). The payments to which a holder of Registrable Securities shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(e) are referred to herein as “Registration Delay Payments.” Following the initial Registration Delay Payment for any particular event or failure (which shall be paid on the date of such event or failure, as set forth above), without limiting the foregoing, if an event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured prior to any thirty (30) day anniversary of such event or failure, then such Registration Delay Payment shall be made on the third (3^rd) Business Day after such cure. In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner in accordance with the foregoing, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear interest at the rate of one percent (1%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Registration Delay Payments shall be owed to an Investor (other than with respect to a Maintenance Failure resulting from a suspension or delisting of (or a failure to timely list) the shares of Common Stock on the Principal Market) with respect to any period during which all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities may be sold by such Investor without restriction under Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable).

(f) Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to the payment of the Registration Delay Payments pursuant to Section 2(e), in the event the staff of the SEC (the

“Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by, or on behalf of, the Company, or in any other manner, such that the Staff or the SEC do not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that does not constitute such an offering and that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Investors participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Investor) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement by all Investors until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included by all Investors on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each Investor) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Investor or a particular set of Investors are resulting in the Staff or the SEC’s “by or on behalf of the Company” offering position, in which event the shares held by such Investor or set of Investors shall be the only shares subject to reduction (and if by a set of Investors on a pro rata basis by such Investors or on such other basis as would result in the exclusion of the least number of shares by all such Investors); provided, that, with respect to such pro rata portion allocated to any Investor, such Investor may elect the allocation of such pro rata portion among the Registrable Securities of such Investor. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Investor seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Investor does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Investor, until such time as the Staff or the SEC does not require such identification or until such Investor accepts such identification and the manner thereof. Any reduction pursuant to this paragraph will first reduce all Registrable Securities other than those issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this paragraph, an affected Investor shall have the right to require, upon delivery of a written request to the Company signed by such Investor, the Company to file a registration statement within twenty (20) days of such request (subject to any restrictions imposed by Rule 415 or required by the Staff or the SEC) for resale by such Investor in a manner acceptable to such Investor, and the Company shall following such request cause to be and keep effective such registration statement in the same manner as otherwise contemplated in this Agreement for registration statements hereunder, in each case until such time as: (i) all Registrable Securities held by such Investor have been registered and sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor or (ii) all Registrable Securities may be resold by such Investor without restriction (including, without limitation, volume limitations) pursuant to Rule 144 (taking account of any Staff position with respect to “affiliate” status) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (iii) such Investor agrees to be named as an underwriter in any such Registration Statement in a manner acceptable to such Investor as to all Registrable Securities held by such Investor and that have not theretofore been included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement (it being understood that the special demand right under this sentence may be exercised by an Investor multiple times and with respect to limited amounts of Registrable Securities in order to permit the resale thereof by such Investor as contemplated above).

(g) Piggyback Registrations.

i) Piggyback Rights. Without limiting any obligation of the Company hereunder or under the Securities Purchase Agreement, if there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement or offering statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities (other than a registration statement (i) solely registering the resale and/or issuance of securities of employees, officers and/or directors of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an employee stock option or other benefit plan, (ii) for an exchange offer or rights offering to all, or substantially all, of the Company’s existing stockholders, (iii) filed on Form S-4 (as promulgated under the 1933 Act) related to any merger, acquisition or business combination or (iv) for a dividend reinvestment plan, then the Company shall deliver to each Investor a written notice of such determination and, if within seven (7) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Investor shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement or offering statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Investor requests to be registered; provided, however, the Company shall not be required to register any

Ann. P-5

Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2(g) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or that are the subject of a then-effective Registration Statement.

ii) Reduction of Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter(s) in an underwritten registration that is to be a piggyback registration pursuant to this Section 2(g), in good faith, advises the Company, the Investors participating in the piggyback registration and the holders of shares of Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that are requesting such securities to be sold pursuant to the piggback registration rights under the Investor Rights Agreement, if any (the “IRA Investors” and such securities, the “IRA Registrable Securities”), in writing, that the dollar amount or number of shares of Common Stock that the Company desires to sell, taken together with (i) Registrable Securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, (ii) IRA Registrable Securities, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement, (iii) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with persons or entities other than the Investors and the IRA Investors, and (iv) the shares of Common Stock, if any, as to which registration has been requested pursuant to separate written contractual piggy-back registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the maximum dollar amount or maximum number of equity securities that can be sold in the Underwritten Offering without adversely affecting the proposed offering price (the “Maximum Number of Securities”), then:

1) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account, the Company shall include in any such registration (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the IRA Registrable Securities of IRA Investors exercising their rights to register their IRA Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement and the Registrable Securities of the Investors exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, pro rata based on the respective number of IRA Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that each IRA Investor and each Investor has requested be included in such registration and the aggregate number of IRA Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that the IRA Investors and the Investors have requested be included in such registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities;

2) If the registration is undertaken pursuant to a request by the IRA Investors, the Company shall include in any such registration (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that the IRA Investors desire to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities of the Investors exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, pro rata based on the respective number of Registrable Securities that each Investor has requested be included in such registration and the aggregate number of Registrable Securities that the Investors have requested be included in such registration, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and

3) If the registration is pursuant to a request by persons or entities other than the IRA Investors and the Investors, then the Company shall include in any such registration (A) first, Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, of such requesting persons or entities, other than the Investors and

Ann. P-6

the IRA Investors, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the IRA Registrable Securities of the IRA Investors exercising their rights to register their IRA Registrable Securities pursuant to subsection 2.2.1 of the Investor Rights Agreement and the Registrable Securities of the Investors exercising their rights to register their Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof, pro rata based on the respective number of IRA Registrable Securities and Registrable Securities that each IRA Investor and each Investor has requested, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (C) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (D) fourth, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A), (B) and (C), Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

(h) Allocation of Registrable Securities. The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement other than a piggyback registration pursuant to Section 2(g) hereof (the allocations of which shall be made pursuant to Section 2(g)(ii)) and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.

(i) No Inclusion of Other Securities. The Company shall in no event include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement filed in accordance with Section 2(a) or Section 2(d) above without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Until the Applicable Date (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), the Company shall not enter into any agreement providing any registration rights to any of its security holders, other than the Investor Rights Agreement and PIPE Subscription Agreement and except as otherwise permitted under the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Investor Rights Agreement.

3. Related Obligations.

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

(a) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to all the Registrable Securities (but in no event later than the applicable Filing Deadline) and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). Subject to Allowable Grace Periods, the Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective (and the prospectus contained therein available for use) pursuant to Rule 415 for resales by the Investors on a delayed or continuous basis at then-prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices) at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of the Investors may sell all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement (disregarding any reduction pursuant to Section 2(f)) without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 (including, without limitation, volume restrictions) and without the need for current public information required by Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) or (ii) the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration Period”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed and at all times while effective, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such

Ann. P-7

Registration Statement (1) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading and (2) will disclose (whether directly or through incorporation by reference to other SEC filings to the extent permitted) all material information regarding the Company and its securities. The Company shall submit to the SEC, within one (1) Business Day after the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the Staff or that the Staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement (as the case may be) and (ii) the consent of Legal Counsel is obtained pursuant to Section 3(c) (which consent shall be promptly sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than twenty-four (24) hours after the submission of such request. The Company shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

(b) Subject to Section 3(r) of this Agreement, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with each such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep each such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period for such Registration Statement, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company required to be covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement; provided, however, by 8:30 a.m. (New York time) on the Business Day immediately following each Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424(b) under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement (whether or not such a prospectus is technically required by such rule). In the case of amendments and supplements to any Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 8-K, Form 10-Q or Form 10-K or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company shall, if permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

(c) The Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor to review and comment upon (i) each Registration Statement at least three (3) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, the prospectus contained therein) (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto in a form to which Legal Counsel or any legal counsel for any other Investor reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or to any prospectus contained therein without the prior consent of Legal Counsel, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall promptly furnish to Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from the SEC or the Staff to the Company or its representatives relating to each Registration Statement, provided that such correspondence shall not contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), (ii) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, one (1) copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Legal Counsel and legal counsel for each other Investor in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

Ann. P-8

(d) The Company shall promptly furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one (1) copy of each Registration Statement and any amendment(s) and supplement(s) thereto, including, without limitation, financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of each Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time) and (iii) such other documents, including, without limitation, copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor.

(e) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including, without limitation, post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose.

(f) The Company shall notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, may include an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event shall such notice contain any material, non-public information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement and such prospectus contained therein to correct such untrue statement or omission and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor or such Investor may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor by e-mail on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), and when the Company receives written notice from the SEC that a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment will be reviewed by the SEC, (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate; and (iv) of the receipt of any request by the SEC or any other federal or state governmental authority for any additional information relating to the Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto or any related prospectus. The Company shall respond as promptly as practicable to any comments received from the SEC with respect to each Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (it being understood and agreed that the Company’s response to any such comments shall be delivered to the SEC no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt thereof).

(g) The Company shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of each Registration Statement or the use of any prospectus contained therein, or the suspension of the qualification, or the loss of an exemption from qualification, of any of the Registrable

Ann. P-9

Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and (ii) notify Legal Counsel, legal counsel for each other Investor and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(h) If any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, at the request of any Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.

(i) If any Investor may be required under applicable securities law to be described in any Registration Statement as an underwriter and such Investor consents to so being named an underwriter, upon the written request of such Investor, the Company shall make available for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) legal counsel for such Investor and (iii) one (1) firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Investor (collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided, however, each Inspector shall agree in writing to hold in strict confidence and not to make any disclosure (except to such Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company’s board of directors determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (1) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (2) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (3) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement). Such Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Investor, if any) shall be deemed to limit any Investor’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

(j) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required to be disclosed in such Registration Statement pursuant to the 1933 Act, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Investor and allow such Investor, at such Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(k) Without limiting any obligation of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, (ii) secure designation and quotation of all of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement on an Eligible Market (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), or (iii) if, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts to satisfy the preceding clauses (i) or (ii) the Company is

Ann. P-10

unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) or (ii), without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. In addition, the Company shall cooperate with each Investor and any broker or dealer through which any such Investor proposes to sell its Registrable Securities in effecting a filing with FINRA pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110 as requested by such Investor. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 3(k).

(l) The Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts (as the case may be) as the Investors may reasonably request from time to time and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

(m) If requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable after receipt of notice from such Investor and subject to Section 3(r) hereof, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement or prospectus contained therein if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable Securities.

(n) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

(o) The Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter next following the applicable Effective Date of each Registration Statement.

(p) The Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

(q) Within one (1) Business Day after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is declared effective by the SEC, the Company shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities (with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

(r) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein (but subject to the last sentence of this Section 3(r)), at any time after the Effective Date of a particular Registration Statement, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the board of directors of the Company, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “Grace Period”), provided that the Company shall promptly notify the Investors in writing of the (i) existence of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each such notice the Company shall not disclose the content of such material, non-public information to any of the Investors) and the date on which such Grace Period will begin and (ii) date on which such Grace Period ends, provided further that (I) no Grace Period shall exceed ten (10) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period all such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of ninety (90) days, (II) the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the last day of any prior Grace Period and (III) no Grace Period may exist during the sixty (60) Trading Day period immediately following the Effective Date of such Registration Statement (provided that such sixty (60) Trading Day period shall be extended by the number of Trading Days during such period and any extension thereof contemplated by this proviso during which such Registration

Ann. P-11

Statement is not effective or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use) (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, such Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (i) above and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) above and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of each Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material, non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(r), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale, and delivered a copy of the prospectus included as part of the particular Registration Statement to the extent applicable, prior to such Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

(s) The Company shall take all other reasonable actions necessary to expedite and facilitate disposition by each Investor of its Registrable Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.

(t) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an underwriter in any public disclosure or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market and any Buyer being deemed an underwriter by the SEC shall not relieve the Company of any obligations it has under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution” section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.

(u) Except for the Investor Rights Agreement, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

4. Obligations of the Investors.

(a) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of each Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor with respect to such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it, as shall be reasonably required to effect and maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

(b) Each Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

(c) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(c), the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which such Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence of Section 3(f) and for which such Investor has not yet settled.

5. Expenses of Registration.

All reasonable expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and brokerage fees, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, FINRA filing fees (if any) and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall reimburse Legal Counsel for its fees and disbursements in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.

6. Indemnification.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor and each of its directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) and each Person, if any, who controls such Investor within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act and each of the directors, officers, shareholders, members, partners, employees, agents, advisors, representatives (and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles notwithstanding the lack of such title or any other title) of such controlling Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, obligations, claims, damages, liabilities, contingencies, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs (including, without limitation, court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense and investigation), amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “Claims”) incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim, suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Person is or may be a party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing made in connection with the qualification of the offering under the securities or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”), or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented, if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein were made, not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of such Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

(b) In connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, such Investor agrees to severally and not jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act

Ann. P-13

or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case, to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Investor expressly for use in connection with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c) and the below provisos in this Section 6(b), such Investor will reimburse an Indemnified Party any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided, however, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such Investor shall be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor as a result of the applicable sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall, if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be); provided, however, an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by the indemnifying party if: (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Claim and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) in any such Claim; or (iii) the named parties to any such Claim (including, without limitation, any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) and the indemnifying party, and such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party (in which case, if such Indemnified Person or such Indemnified Party (as the case may be) notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, then the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party, provided further that in the case of clause (iii) above the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be). The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) which relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be), consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case may be) of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person (as the case

Ann. P-14

may be) with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

7. Contribution.

To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however: (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the maker would not have been liable for indemnification under the fault standards set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, (ii) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (iii) contribution by any seller of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the applicable sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

8. Reports Under the 1934 Act.

With a view to making available to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to:

(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as the Company remains subject to such requirements (it being understood and agreed that nothing herein shall limit any obligations of the Company under the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

(c) furnish to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company, if true, that it has complied with the reporting, submission and posting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company with the SEC if such reports are not publicly available via EDGAR, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

9. Assignment of Registration Rights.

All or any portion of the rights under this Agreement shall be automatically assignable by each Investor to any transferee or assignee (as the case may be) of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, Notes or Warrants, other than any transferee or assignee upon a registered offering or sale pursuant to Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, if: (i) such Investor agrees in writing with such transferee or assignee (as the case may be, a “Permitted Tranferee”) to assign all or any portion of such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished to the Company within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be); (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment (as the case may be), furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee (as the case may be), and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned (as the case may be); (iii) immediately following such transfer

Ann. P-15

or assignment (as the case may be) the further disposition of such securities by such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable state securities laws if so required; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence such transferee or assignee (as the case may be) agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; (v) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the Warrants (as the case may be); and (vi) such transfer or assignment (as the case may be) shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws.

10. Amendment of Registration Rights.

Provisions of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver that complies with the foregoing, but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such adversely affected Investor; provided further that no modification, amendment or waiver of Section 2(g)(ii) hereof shall be effective without the prior written consent of the persons required to amend the Investor Rights Agreement (the “IRA Parties”) and such persons shall consistute third party beneficiaries of this Agreement. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company, provided that no such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it (1) applies to less than all of the holders of Registrable Securities or (2) imposes any obligation or liability on any Investor without such Investor’s prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in such Investor’s sole discretion). No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the waiving party. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties to this Agreement.

11. This Agreement shall terminate upon the date on which neither the Holders nor any of their Permitted Transferees hold any Registrable Securities, Notes or Warrants. This Agreement shall only become effective upon the Closing Date, and prior to such date and time this Agreement shall be of no force effect.

12. Miscellaneous.

(a) Solely for purposes of this Agreement, a Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns, or is deemed to own, of record such Registrable Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record owner of such Registrable Securities.

(b) Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by electronic mail (provided that such sent email is kept on file (whether electronically or otherwise) by the sending party and the sending party does not receive an automatically generated message from the recipient’s email server that such e-mail could not be delivered to such recipient); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The mailing addresses and e-mail addresses for such communications shall be:

Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender’s e-mail containing the time, date and recipient’s e-mail or (C) provided by a courier or overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by e-mail or receipt from a nationally recognized overnight delivery service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.

(c) Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof. The Company and each Investor acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each party hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement by any other party hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof (without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required), this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party may be entitled by law or equity.

(d) All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any provision or rule

Ann. P-17

(whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(e) If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(f) This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents, the schedules and exhibits attached hereto and thereto and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto solely with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall (or shall be deemed to) (i) have any effect on any agreements any Investor has entered into with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the date hereof with respect to any prior investment made by such Investor in the Company, (ii) waive, alter, modify or amend in any respect any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any rights of or benefits to any Investor or any other Person in any agreement entered into prior to the date hereof between or among the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries and any Investor and all such agreements shall continue in full force and effect or (iii) limit any obligations of the Company under any of the other Transaction Documents.

(g) Subject to compliance with Section 9 (if applicable), this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the permitted successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto. This Agreement is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any Person, other than the parties hereto, their respective permitted successors and assigns and the Persons referred to in Sections 6 and 7 hereof.

(h) The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

(i) This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party. In the event that any signature is

Ann. P-18

delivered by facsimile transmission or by an email which contains a portable document format (.pdf) file of an executed signature page, such signature page shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

(j) Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(k) The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10, terms used in this Agreement but defined in the other Transaction Documents shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms on the Closing Date in such other Transaction Documents unless otherwise consented to in writing by each Investor.

(l) All consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the outstanding Notes then held by the Investors have been converted for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on redemption, amortization and/or conversion of the Notes and the outstanding Warrants then held by Investors have been exercised for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants.

(m) Except as set forth in Section 10 with respect to the IRA Parties, this Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, and the parties hereto acknowledge that the IRA Parties are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement with right of enforcement for the purposes of, and to the extent of, the rights granted to them, if any, pursuant to the applicable provisions.

(n) The obligations of each Investor under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors do not so constitute, a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among Investors.

Re: Aja Holdco, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

[We are][I am] counsel to Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders senior secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) convertible into the Company’s shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on     , 2024, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form [S-1][S-3] (File No. 333-    ) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each of the Holders as a selling stockholder thereunder.

In connection with the foregoing, [we][I] advise you that [a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that [the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]] [an order declaring the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF EFFECTIVENESS]] has been posted on the web site of the SEC at www.sec.gov] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after a review of information posted on the website of the SEC at http://www.sec.gov/litigation/stoporders.shtml, that any stop order suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

This letter shall serve as our standing opinion to you that the shares of Common Stock underlying the Notes and Warrants are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance of such shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated     , 20  .

Very truly yours,

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The shares of common stock being offered by the selling stockholders are those issuable to the selling stockholders upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of the notes and the warrants, see “Private Placement of Notes and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order to permit the selling stockholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the notes and the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling stockholders have not had any material relationship with us within the past three years.

The table below lists the selling stockholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership (as determined under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder) of the shares of common stock held by each of the selling stockholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders, based on their respective ownership of shares of common stock, notes and warrants, as of     , 20  , assuming conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants held by each such selling stockholder on that date but taking account of any limitations on conversion and exercise set forth therein.

The third column lists the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling stockholders and does not take in account any limitations on (i) conversion of the notes set forth therein or (ii) exercise of the warrants set forth therein.

In accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the holders of the notes and the warrants, this prospectus generally covers the resale of the sum of (i) 200% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issued or issuable pursuant to the Notes, including payment of interest on the notes through [DATE], and (ii) the maximum number of shares of common stock issued or issuable upon exercise of the warrants, in each case, determined as if the outstanding notes (including interest on the notes through [DATE]) and warrants were converted or exercised (as the case may be) in full (without regard to any limitations on conversion or exercise contained therein solely for the purpose of such calculation) at an alternate conversion price or exercise price (as the case may be) calculated as of the trading day immediately preceding the date this registration statement was initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price and alternate conversion price of the notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus.

Under the terms of the notes and the warrants, a selling stockholder may not convert the notes or exercise the warrants to the extent (but only to the extent) such selling stockholder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own a number of shares of our common stock which would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of the Company. The number of shares in the second column reflects these limitations. The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We are registering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes and exercise of the warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the notes and warrants from time to time after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling stockholders of the shares of common stock, although we will receive the exercise price of any Warrants not exercised by the selling stockholders on a cashless exercise basis. We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock held by them and offered hereby from time to time directly or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling stockholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block transactions, pursuant to one or more of the following methods:

• on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;

• in the over-the-counter market;

• in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

• through the writing or settlement of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

• privately negotiated transactions;

• short sales made after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC;

• broker-dealers may agree with a selling security holder to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

• a combination of any such methods of sale; and

• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus. In addition, the selling stockholders may transfer the shares of common stock by other means not described in this prospectus. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of common stock short and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales. The selling stockholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.

The selling stockholders may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the notes, warrants or shares of common stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees

Ann. P-25

or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending, if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

To the extent required by the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the selling stockholders and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed, which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling stockholders and any discounts, commissions or concessions allowed or re-allowed or paid to broker-dealers.

Under the securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part.

The selling stockholders and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders and any other participating person. To the extent applicable, Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock.

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[  ] in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, a selling stockholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the selling stockholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act in accordance with the registration rights agreements or the selling stockholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the selling stockholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements or we may be entitled to contribution.

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

The acquisition by the Investor of any of the Securities shall constitute confirmation of the representation by the Investor that the Investor does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Investor has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the Bridge and Convert Securities and any document delivered pursuant to any provision hereof or thereof (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”).

In this connection, the Investor represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 promulgated under the Act, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the Act. The Investor understands that the Securities have not been and will not be registered under the Act and have not been and will not be registered or qualified in any state in which they are offered, and the Investor will not be able to resell or otherwise transfer his, her or its Securities unless they are registered under the Act and registered or qualified under applicable state securities laws, or an exemption from such registration or qualification is available. The Investor has no immediate need for liquidity in connection with this investment and does not anticipate that it will need to sell his, her or its Securities in the foreseeable future.

Ann. Q-4

4.8 Further Limitations on Disposition. Prior to the closing of the Transaction, without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, the Investor further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Securities or assign any rights hereunder unless and until the transferee has agreed in writing for the benefit of the Company to be bound by this Agreement (including this ) and any other agreement which the purchasers of new equity securities are required to execute and deliver, as provided for in Section 2 of the Bridge Note, and/or have entered into with the Company and by which the Investor is bound as of the date of such disposition, and:

THIS SECURITY AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION HEREOF HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR TRANSFERRED FOR VALUE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND QUALIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE STATE LAWS, OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

THIS SECURITY AND THE INDEBTEDNESS, RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBORDINATE IN THE MANNER AND TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH IN THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 13, 2024, AMONG THE COMPANY (AS DEFINED BELOW), THE INVESTOR (AS DEFINED BELOW), AND SILICON VALLEY BANK, A DIVISION OF FIRST-CITIZENS BANK & TRUST COMPANY.

5.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.

Except as set forth in Exhibit E, no stock plan, stock purchase, stock option or other agreement or understanding between the Company and any holder of equity securities or rights to purchase equity securities provides for acceleration or other changes in the vesting provisions or terms of such agreements or understandings, or the lapse of a Company repurchase right, upon the occurrence of any event. The Company has never adjusted or amended the exercise price of any stock options previously awarded, whether through amendment, cancellation, replacement grant, repricing, or any other means. To the Company’s knowledge, no stock options, stock appreciation rights or other equity-based awards issued or granted by the Company are, or will be, subject to the penalties of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. All outstanding equity securities of the Company have been, or upon issuance will be, validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. The Company holds no equity securities or other ownership interests in any other person or entity, other than the Subsidiary.

5.4 Financial Statements. The Company has provided to the Investor, a copy of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2022 (the balance sheet at December 31, 2022 being hereinafter referred to as the “Balance Sheet”, and all such financial statements being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared in a manner consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods covered (except that the Financial Statements have been prepared without complete footnotes and are subject to year-end adjustments), and fairly present in all material respects the financial position and results of operations of the Company as of the date and for the periods covered thereby. At the date of the Balance Sheet (the “Balance Sheet Date”), the Company and its Subsidiary have no liabilities or obligations, fixed, contingent, or otherwise, not reflected on the Balance Sheet (including liabilities which under GAAP are not required to be reflected on the Balance Sheet) except for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. Except as disclosed in the Financial Statements, the Company is not a guarantor or indemnitor of any indebtedness of any other person or corporation.

5.5 Seniority of the Bridge Note. Except for, solely prior to the Convertible Note Closing, the Existing Credit Facility (as such term is defined in the Bridge Note), there is no Indebtedness of the Company that ranks senior in right of payment to the Bridge Note, whether with respect to payment of principal, interest, redemption, fees, or penalties, or upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or otherwise. The Investor, in its capacity as the Investor (as such term is defined in the 2023 Notes (as such term is defined in the Bridge Note)) and the holder of the 2023 Notes and the Second 2023 Notes Tranche, hereby consents to the issuance of the Bridge Note and incurrence of Indebtedness by the Company pursuant to the Bridge Note. The Bridge Note shall rank pari passu in right of payment to the 2023 Notes and the Second 2023 Notes Tranche, whether with respect to payment of principal, interest, redemption, fees, or penalties, or upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, or otherwise. Prior to the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days following the issuance of the Bridge Note and (ii) the consummation of the Transaction, the Company shall deliver to the Investor, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investor, an omnibus amendment (the “Omnibus Amendment”) to the convertible promissory notes issued by the Company on October 27, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), executed by the Company and the requisite investors holding the 2022 Notes, which subordinates the 2022 Notes to the Bridge Note issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement. As of the Convertible Note Closing, the Closing Date Convertible Note and Converted Bridge Note shall rank pari passu in right of payment and liens to other New Adagio Convertible Notes that will be issued by New Adagio upon the consummation of the Transaction, whether with respect to payment of principal, interest, redemption, fees, or penalties, or upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company or New Adagio, or otherwise.

5.6 Indebtedness.

(a) As of the Bridge Note Closing, other than the Existing Credit Facility, the 2022 Notes, the 2023 Notes and the Second 2023 Notes Tranche, neither the Company nor its Subsidiary (i) has any outstanding Indebtedness in an amount in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding intercompany Indebtedness),

Ann. Q-6

(ii) is in violation of any term of or in default under any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Company Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or would reasonably be expected to have or is expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As of the Bridge Note Closing, without limiting the foregoing, the Company hereby represents and warrants that immediately before and after entering into and giving effect to this Agreement, the Company is not in default, and there exists no event of default, under the Existing Credit Facility, the 2022 Notes, the 2023 Notes or the Second 2023 Notes Tranche, whether as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or otherwise.

(b) As of the Convertible Note Closing, neither the Company nor its Subsidiary (i) has any outstanding Indebtedness (other than with respect to the New Adagio Convertible Notes) and other than Indebtedness expressly permitted under the New Adagio Convertible Notes, (ii) is in violation of any term of or in default under any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness, except where such violations and defaults would not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Company Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) is a party to any contract, agreement or instrument relating to any such Indebtedness, the performance of which, in the judgment of the Company’s officers, has or would reasonably be expected to have or is expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Material Adverse Effect” means (a) a material adverse change in, or a material adverse effect upon, the results of operations, business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company; (b) a material impairment of the ability of the Company to perform in any material respect any of its or their respective obligations under the Bridge Note or this Agreement; or (c) a material adverse effect upon the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement or the Bridge Note.

5.7 Litigation. There is no lawsuit, litigation, action, inquiry, audit, examination or investigation, claim, complaint, charge, proceeding, suit or arbitration (in each case, whether civil, criminal or administrative and whether public or private) by or before or otherwise involving any Authority (as defined herein) (“Action”) pending or to the Company’s knowledge, currently threatened against the Company that questions the validity of the Transaction Documents, the right of the Company to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or that would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Company Material Adverse Effect. The Company is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment, ruling, decree, judicial or arbitral award, subpoena, verdict, determination or decision entered, issued or rendered by an Authority (as defined herein) (“Order”) that would reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. For the purpose of this Agreement, “Authority” means any United States or non-United States (i) federal, state, local, municipal or other government, (ii) governmental or quasi-governmental entity or (iii) body exercising or entitled to exercise any administrative, executive, judicial, legislative, police, regulatory, or taxing authority or power of any nature, including any arbitrator or arbitral tribunal (public or private).

5.8 Absence of Certain Changes. The Company represents that since December 31, 2023, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, operations or financial condition of the Company taken as a whole. The Company has not taken any steps with any governmental agency or authority or any other regulatory or self-regulatory agency or authority to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reasonable basis to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. As of the Bridge Note Closing, the Company is not, and, as of the Convertible Note Closing, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Convertible Note Closing, New Adagio will not be Insolvent (as defined herein). For purposes of this Section , “Insolvent” means, with respect to any person (i) such person is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, (ii) such person intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature in the ordinary course or (iii) such person has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged, as such business is now conducted. For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount that could reasonably be expected to become an actual liability.

Ann. Q-7

5.9 Absence of Required Consents; No Violations; Compliance with Laws. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Authority on the part of the Company or its Subsidiary is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such filing(s) pursuant to applicable state securities laws as may be necessary, which filings will be timely effected after the Bridge Note Closing or the Convertible Note Closing, as applicable. The Company is not in violation or default of any provision of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Company’s bylaws. The Company and its Subsidiary are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal, national, state, local, foreign, national, multinational or supranational statutes, laws (including common law and, if applicable, fiduciary or similar duties), acts, statutes, ordinances, treaties, rules, codes and regulations (“Laws”) and Orders, and to the Company’s knowledge, neither of them have been charged with any violation of any applicable Law or Order, except as would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to the Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any Order or contract or an event that results in the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material assets of the Company or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its Subsidiary, or their respective businesses or operations or any of their respective assets or properties.

5.10 Taxes. The Company has either (i) timely filed or (ii) timely filed extensions, solely to the extent such extensions are sought in the ordinary course of business, for, all federal, provincial, state, municipal, non-U.S. and other tax returns and reports required to be filed, and have timely paid all federal, provincial, state, municipal, non-U.S. and other taxes levied or imposed upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP and, except for failures to file or pay as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect. There are no tax audits, deficiencies, assessments or other claims with respect to the Company that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Company Material Adverse Effect.

5.11 Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Bridge Securities by the Company as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and will not result in a violation of the qualification or registration requirements of any applicable state securities laws, and neither the Company nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

5.12 Valid Issuance of Securities. As of the Convertible Note Closing, the equity securities issuable by the Company upon conversion of the Bridge Note have been or will have been prior to their issuance duly and validly reserved for issuance, and when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Note, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

5.13 No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. The Company has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any Company Covered Person (as defined herein) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Act (“Disqualification Events”). To the Company’s knowledge, no Company Covered Person is subject to a Disqualification Event. The Company has complied, to the extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “Company Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Act; provided, however, that Company Covered Persons do not include (a) the Investor, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of the Company solely as a result of the relationship between the Company and the Investor.

5.14 Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds of the Bridge Note (i) solely for working capital purposes for the operation of its business, and not for any personal, family or household purpose and (ii) in compliance with all applicable Laws.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NEW ADAGIO

New Adagio hereby represents and warrants to the Investor that:

6.1 Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. New Adagio is duly incorporated and validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. New Adagio has all power (corporate or otherwise) and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and conduct its business as presently conducted and to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Convert and Warrant Securities.

This Agreement and the Convert and Warrant Securities to which New Adagio is a party constitute valid and legally binding obligations of New Adagio, enforceable against New Adagio in accordance with their terms, except (i) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies.

6.3 Capitalization; Valid Issuance. The authorized share capital of New Adagio (excluding the issued share capital) consists of one thousand (1,000) share of Common Stock and the issued share capital of New Adagio consists of one (1) share of Common Stock. Immediately following the Convertible Note Closing, all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (A) shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (B) shall have been issued in compliance with applicable law and (C) shall not have been issued in breach or violation of any preemptive rights or contract. There are no shareholder agreements, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings to which New Adagio is a party or by which it is bound relating to the voting of any securities of New Adagio, other than (1) as set forth in any form, report, statement, schedule, proxy and other document filed by ARYA on or prior to the Convertible Note Closing and (2) as contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

6.4 Seniority of the Closing Date Convertible Note and the Converted Bridge Note. There is no Indebtedness of New Adagio that ranks senior in right of payment to the Closing Date Convertible Note and the Converted Bridge Note, whether with respect to payment of principal, interest, redemption, fees, or penalties, or upon liquidation or dissolution of New Adagio, or otherwise. The Closing Date Convertible Note and Converted Bridge Note shall rank pari passu in right of payment to other New Adagio Convertible Notes that will be issued by New Adagio upon the consummation of the Transaction, whether with respect to payment of principal, interest, redemption, fees, or penalties, or upon liquidation or dissolution of New Adagio or the Company, or otherwise.

For purposes of this Agreement, “New Adagio Material Adverse Effect” means (a) a material adverse change in, or a material adverse effect upon, the results of operations, business, properties or condition (financial or otherwise) of New Adagio; (b) a material impairment of the ability of New Adagio to perform in any material respect any of its or their respective obligations under the the Closing Date Convertible Note, the Converted Bridge Note or this Agreement; or (c) a material adverse effect upon the legality, validity, binding effect or enforceability of this Agreement, the Closing Date Convertible Note or the Converted Bridge Note.

Ann. Q-9

6.6 Litigation. There is no Action pending or to New Adagio’s knowledge, currently threatened against New Adagio that questions the validity of the Transaction Documents, the right of New Adagio to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, that would prohibit the listing of the shares of Common Stock or Convert Equity Securities, or the registration of, when issued in connection with the closing of the Transaction, the shares of Common Stock or Convert Equity Securities under the Exchange Act, or that would reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a New Adagio Material Adverse Effect. New Adagio is not a party or subject to the provisions of any Order that would reasonably be expected to result in a New Adagio Material Adverse Effect.

6.7 Absence of Certain Changes. There has been no material adverse change in the assets, operations or financial condition of New Adagio taken as a whole. New Adagio has not taken any steps with any governmental agency or authority or any other regulatory or self-regulatory agency or authority to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does New Adagio have any knowledge or reasonable basis to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. After giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Convertible Note Closing, will not be Insolvent (as defined herein). For purposes of this Section 6.7, “Insolvent” means, with respect to any person (i) such person is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured in the ordinary course, (ii) such person intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature in the ordinary course or (iii) such person has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged, as such business is now conducted. For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of any contingent liability at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount that could reasonably be expected to become an actual liability.

6.8 Absence of Required Consents; No Violations; Compliance with Laws. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Investor, no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Authority on the part of New Adagio is required in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, other than (i) filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, (ii) filings required by applicable state securities laws, (iii) filings required by Nasdaq, or such other applicable stock exchange on which shares of Common Stock will be listed, (iv) those required to consummate the Transaction as provided under the Business Combination Agreement, and (v) those of which the failure to obtain would not be reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a New Adagio Material Adverse Effect. New Adagio is not in violation or default of any provision of New Adagio’s certificate of incorporation or New Adagio’s bylaws. New Adagio is in compliance in all material respects with all Laws and Orders, and to New Adagio’s knowledge, neither of them have been charged with any violation of any applicable Law or Order, except as would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, material to New Adagio. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in any such violation or be in conflict with or constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either a default under any Order or contract or an event that results in the creation of any material lien, charge or encumbrance upon any material assets of New Adagio or the suspension, revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any material permit, license, authorization or approval applicable to New Adagio, or its operations, assets or properties.

6.9 Taxes.

There are no tax audits, deficiencies, assessments or other claims with respect to New Adagio that could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a New Adagio Material Adverse Effect.

Ann. Q-10

6.10 Offering. Subject in part to the truth and accuracy of the Investor’s representations set forth in of this Agreement, the offer, sale and issuance of the Convert and Warrant Securities and the Convert Equity Securities by New Adagio as contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from the registration requirements of the Act and will not result in a violation of the qualification or registration requirements of any applicable state securities laws, and neither New Adagio nor any authorized agent acting on its behalf will take any action hereafter that would cause the loss of such exemption.

6.11 Valid Issuance of Securities. The Convert Equity Securities have been or will have been prior to their issuance duly and validly reserved for issuance, and when issued, sold and delivered in accordance with the terms of the applicable Convert and Warrant Securities, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

6.12 No “Bad Actor” Disqualification. New Adagio has exercised reasonable care to determine whether any New Adagio Covered Person (as defined herein) is subject to any of the “bad actor” disqualifications described in Rule 506(d)(1)(i) through (viii), as modified by Rules 506(d)(2) and (d)(3), under the Act (“New Adagio Disqualification Events”). To New Adagio’s knowledge, no New Adagio Covered Person is subject to a New Adagio Disqualification Event. New Adagio has complied, to the extent required, with any disclosure obligations under Rule 506(e) under the Act. For purposes of this Agreement, “New Adagio Covered Persons” are those persons specified in Rule 506(d)(1) under the Act; provided, however, that New Adagio Covered Persons do not include (a) the Investor, or (b) any person or entity that is deemed to be an affiliated issuer of New Adagio solely as a result of the relationship between New Adagio and the Investor.

Ann. Q-18

similar plan to be created or increased in connection with the Qualified Financing, but excluding the shares of equity securities of the Company issuable upon the conversion of this Note, the 2023 Notes, the Second 2023 Notes Tranche or in connection with the Qualified Financing). In the event that the preferred equity security issued in the Qualified Financing bears a liquidation preference less than 120%, then the Company shall create a sub-series of such preferred security on identical terms to the security issued in the Qualified Financing, except that the aggregate liquidation preference of such sub-series will be an amount equal to 120% of the then-outstanding Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest under this Note, the 2023 Notes and the Second 2023 Notes Tranche at the time of conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall be deemed to cause or require the conversion of any amount of principal or interest under this note in connection with a Qualified Financing, unless at the time of such Qualified Financing (x) the Company is not in breach or default of any term or provision of this Note or the Agreement (and no such breach or default has previously occurred), (y) the Company certifies to Investor that the Company’s representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.6, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12, 4.13 and the first and second sentences of Section 4.9 of the Agreement are, in each case, true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Qualified Financing, and (z) there has been no Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Procedure.

If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form S-1 and thereafter the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on Form S-3. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as possible after filing; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Registrable Securities held by a Holder in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement are contingent upon such Holder furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding the Holder, the securities of the Company held by the Holder and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities, and the Holder shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations. Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, to ensure that another Registration Statement is available, under the Securities Act at all times until the earliest of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have been disposed of in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution set forth in such Registration Statement and (ii) the date on which all Registrable Securities and other securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.3.1 shall contain a prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to lock-up restrictions provided in Section 5.1 of this Agreement), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, Holders.

Ann. R-8

2.3.2 Notification and Distribution of Materials. The Company shall notify the Holders in writing of the effectiveness of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as soon as practicable, and in any event within one (1) Business Day after the Resale Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective, and shall furnish to them, without charge, such number of copies of the Resale Shelf Registration Statement (including any amendments, supplements and exhibits), the Prospectus contained therein (including each preliminary prospectus and all related amendments and supplements) and any documents incorporated by reference in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or such other documents as the Holders may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Registrable Securities in the manner described in the Resale Shelf Registration Statement.

2.3.3 Amendments and Supplements. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3.1 above, the Company shall promptly prepare and file with the Commission from time to time such amendments and supplements to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all the Registrable Securities. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3.

2.3.4 SEC Cutback. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 2.3, in the event the Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Resale Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Resale Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”) on Form S-3, or if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company for such registration statement, on such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with any publicly-available written or oral guidance, comments, requirements or requests of the Commission staff (the “SEC Guidance”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to further limit its Registrable Securities to be included on the Registration Statement, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced on a Pro Rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Holders, subject to a determination by the Commission that certain Holders must be reduced first based on the number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders. In the event the Company amends the Resale Shelf Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by Commission or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Resale Shelf Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement.

2.3.5 Underwritten Shelf Takedown. At any time and from time to time after a Resale Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective by the Commission, the Holders may request to sell all or any portion of the Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the Resale Shelf Registration

Ann. R-9

Statement (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided, however, that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include securities with a total offering price (including piggyback securities and before deduction of underwriting discounts or commissions) reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $10,000,000. All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company at least five (5) days prior to the public announcement of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown. Except in the case of a requested Underwritten Shelf Takedown in the form of a Block Trade, following receipt of a request for an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, the Company shall promptly notify the other Holders of the request and of their right to participate in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown, which shall specify the anticipated public announcement date. The Company shall include in any Underwritten Shelf Takedown the securities requested to be included by any Holder (each a “Takedown Requesting Holder”) at least 48 hours prior to the anticipated public announcement date of such Underwritten Shelf Takedown set forth in the Company notice pursuant to written contractual piggyback registration rights of such Holder (including those set forth herein). All such Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through an Underwritten Shelf Takedown under this subsection 2.3.5 shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter(s) selected for such Underwritten Offering by the Holders initiating the Underwritten Shelf Takedown.

2.3.6 Reduction of Underwritten Shelf Takedown. If the managing Underwriter(s) in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown, in good faith, advise(s) the Company and the Takedown Requesting Holders in writing that the dollar amount or number of Registrable Securities that the Takedown Requesting Holders desire to sell, taken together with all other shares of the Common Stock or other equity securities that the Company desires to sell, exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, then the Company shall include in such Underwritten Shelf Takedown, as follows: (i) first, the Registrable Securities of the Takedown Requesting Holders, on a Pro Rata basis, that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; (ii) second, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (i), the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, that the Company desires to sell, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities; and (iii) third, to the extent that the Maximum Number of Securities has not been reached under the foregoing clause (ii) and (iii) the Common Stock or other equity securities, if any, for the account of other persons or entities that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to separate written contractual arrangements with such persons or entities, which can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Number of Securities.

2.3.7 Block Trades. If the Company shall receive a request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities with an estimated market value of at least $5,000,000 that the Company effect the sale of all or any portion of such Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Shelf Takedown in the form of a Block Trade, then the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, cooperate and effect the offering in such Block Trade of the Registrable Securities for which such requesting Holder has requested such offering, without giving any effect to any required notice periods or delivery of notices to any other Holders.

3.1.4 prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement under such securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States as the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement (in light of their intended plan of distribution) may request and (ii) take such action necessary to cause such Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Company and do any and all other acts and things that may be necessary or advisable to enable the Holders of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify or take any action to which it would be subject to general service of process or taxation in any such jurisdiction where it is not then otherwise so subject;

3.1.5 cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or automated quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;

3.1.8 advise each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement, promptly after the Company receives notice thereof, of the time when such registration statement has been declared effective or a supplement to any Prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed;

3.1.10 notify the Holders at any time when a Prospectus relating to such Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the Prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes a Misstatement, and then to correct such Misstatement as set forth in Section 3.4 hereof;

3.1.11 permit a representative of the Holders, the Underwriter(s), if any, and any attorney or accountant retained by such Holders or Underwriter(s) to participate, at each such person’s own expense (except as otherwise set forth herein), in the preparation of the Registration Statement, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information reasonably requested by any such representative, Underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with the Registration; provided, however, that such representatives or Underwriter(s) enter into a confidentiality agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, prior to the release or disclosure of any such information;

Ann. R-11

3.1.12 obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the Company’s independent registered public accountants in the event of an Underwritten Registration, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the managing Underwriter(s) may reasonably request, and reasonably satisfactory to a majority-in-interest of the participating Holders and such managing Underwriter;

3.1.13 on the date the Registrable Securities are delivered for sale pursuant to such Registration, if requested by the Underwriter(s), if any, obtain an opinion and negative assurance letter, dated such date, of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such Registration addressed to the Underwriter(s) covering such legal matters with respect to the Registration in respect of which such opinion and negative assurance letter are being given as are customarily included in such opinions and negative assurance letters;

3.1.14 in the event of any Underwritten Offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing Underwriter(s) of such offering;

3.1.15 make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve (12) months beginning with the first day of the Company’s first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the Registration Statement which satisfies the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission);

3.1.16 if a Registration, including an Underwritten Offering, involves the Registration of Registrable Securities involving gross proceeds in excess of $25,000,000, use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available senior executives of the Company to participate in customary “road show” presentations that may be reasonably requested by the Underwriter(s) in any Underwritten Offering; and

3.1.17 otherwise, in good faith, cooperate reasonably with, and take such customary actions as may reasonably be requested by the Holders, in connection with such Registration.

Section 3.2 Registration Expenses. All Registration Expenses shall be borne by the Company. It is acknowledged by the Holders that the Holders shall bear all incremental selling expenses relating to the sale of Registrable Securities, such as Underwriters’ commissions and discounts, brokerage fees and, other than as set forth in the definition of “Registration Expenses,” all fees and expenses of any legal counsel representing the Holders.

Section 3.3 Requirements for Participation in Underwritten Offerings. No person may participate in any Underwritten Offering for equity securities of the Company pursuant to a Registration initiated by the Company hereunder unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (ii) completes and executes all customary questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, lock-up agreements, underwriting agreements and other customary documents as may be reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.

Section 3.4 Suspension of Sales; Adverse Disclosure. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a Registration Statement or Prospectus contains a Misstatement, each of the Holders shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until he, she or it has received copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus correcting the Misstatement or until he, she, or it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed, provided that the Company hereby covenants to prepare and file any required supplement or amendment correcting any Misstatement promptly after the time of such notice and, if necessary, to request the immediate effectiveness thereof. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement or Prospectus included in any Registration Statement at any time (a) would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, or (b) would require the inclusion in such Registration Statement of financial statements that are unavailable to the Company for reasons beyond the Company’s control, the Company shall have the right to defer the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of any Registration Statement pursuant to (a), (b) or (c) for a period of not more than ninety (90) consecutive days or more than one hundred and twenty (120) total calendar days in any 12-month period. In the event the Company exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to any Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities.

Section 3.5 Reporting Obligations. As long as any Holder shall own Registrable Securities, the Company, at all times while it shall be a reporting company under the Exchange Act, covenants to file timely (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after

Ann. R-12

the date hereof pursuant to Sections 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and to promptly furnish the Holders with true and complete copies of all such filings. The Company further covenants that it shall take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell shares of Common Stock held by such Holder without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), including providing any customary legal opinions as reasonably requested. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 3.6 Limitations on Registration Rights. Other than the registration rights granted to the purchasers under the Subscription Agreements as provided for in the Business Combination Agreement, the Company represents and warrants that no person or entity, other than a Holder of Registrable Securities, has any right to require the Company to register any securities of the Company for sale or to include such securities of the Company in any Registration Statement filed by the Company for the sale of securities for its own account or for the account of any other person or entity. The Company hereby agrees and covenants that it will not grant rights to register any Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) pursuant to the Securities Act that are more favorable, pari passu or senior to those granted to the Holders hereunder without (a) the prior written consent of (i) Perceptive Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by all Perceptive Holders in their capacity as Perceptive Holders (provided the Perceptive Holders hold Registrable Securities at such time) and (ii) the Adagio Shareholders (provided the Adagio Shareholders hold Registrable Securities at such time); or (b) granting economically and legally equivalent rights to the Holders hereunder such that the Holders shall receive the benefit of such more favorable or senior terms and/or conditions. Further, the Company represents and warrants that this Agreement supersedes any other registration rights agreement or agreement with similar terms and conditions and in the event of any conflict between any such agreement or agreements and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.

ARTICLE IV

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 4.1 Indemnification.

4.1.1 The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each Holder of Registrable Securities, its officers and directors and agents and each person who controls such Holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly for use therein. The Company shall indemnify the Underwriter(s), their officers and directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to the indemnification of the Holder.

4.1.2 In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Holder of Registrable Securities is participating, such Holder shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or Prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, shall indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and agents and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) the Company against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) resulting from any untrue statement of material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such Holder expressly for use therein; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders of Registrable Securities, and the liability of each such Holder of Registrable Securities shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds actually received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable

Ann. R-13

Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. The Holders of Registrable Securities shall indemnify the Underwriter(s), their officers, directors and each person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act) such Underwriter(s) to the same extent as provided in the foregoing with respect to indemnification of the Company.

4.1.3 Any person entitled to indemnification herein shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any person’s right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not materially prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party shall not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which cannot be settled in all respects by the payment of money (and such money is so paid by the indemnifying party pursuant to the terms of such settlement) or which settlement does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

4.1.4 The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. The Company and each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in an offering also agrees to make such provisions as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party for contribution (pursuant to subsection 4.1.5) to such party in the event the Company’s or such Holder’s indemnification is unavailable for any reason.

4.1.5 If the indemnification provided under Section 4.1 hereof from the indemnifying party is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying the indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, was made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the indemnifying party’s and indemnified party’s relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action; provided, however, that the liability of any Holder under this subsection 4.1.5 shall be limited to the amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Holder in such offering giving rise to such liability. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses or other liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in subsections 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 above, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation, which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection 4.1.5. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution pursuant to this subsection 4.1.5 from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

4.1.6 Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in any underwriting agreement entered into in connection with an underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

Section 7.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

Section 7.4 Entire Agreement; Assignment.

7.4.1 This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

7.4.2 This Agreement shall not be assigned (whether pursuant to a merger, by operation of law or otherwise), by any Holder without the prior express written consent of the Company, except that (i) any Holder may, without consent, assign such Holder’s rights under this Agreement to any transferee of Common Stock permitted under Section 5.2 and (ii) after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, any Holder may, without consent, assign its rights, in whole and not in part, to any transferee of its Registrable Securities provided that such transferee continues to hold Registrable Securities or Warrants following such Transfer (any such transferees in each of clause (i) and (ii), a “Permitted Transferee”). This Agreement and the rights, duties and obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned or delegated by the Company in whole or in part. Any assignment made other than as provided in this Section 7.4 shall be null and void.

Section 7.5 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto (and its respective successors and permitted assigns), and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 7.6 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State. All legal actions and proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any Delaware Chancery Court; provided, however, that if jurisdiction is not then available in the Delaware Chancery Court, then any such legal action may be brought in any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any other Delaware state court. The parties hereto hereby (a) irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for themselves and with respect to their respective properties for the purpose of any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party hereto, and (b) agree not to commence any action relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (x) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (y) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (z) that (i) the action in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such action is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 7.7 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN

Ann. R-17

CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO (I) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THAT FOREGOING WAIVER AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.6.

Section 7.8 Headings; Interpretation. The descriptive headings contained in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any party because of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Unless the context of this Agreement clearly requires otherwise, use of the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neutral genders and vice versa, and the definitions of terms contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. The words “includes” or “including” shall mean “including without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “hereby,” “herein,” “hereunder” and similar terms in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not any particular section or article in which such words appear, the word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” Any reference to a law shall include any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and shall mean such law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References herein to any contract (including this Agreement) mean such contract as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof.

Section 7.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or portable document format (pdf) transmission) in counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 7.10 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives (a) any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate and (b) any requirement under any law to post security or a bond as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.

Section 7.11 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by (i) the Company, (ii) Perceptive Holders holding at least a majority in interest of the then-outstanding number of Registrable Securities held by all Perceptive Holders in their capacity as Perceptive Holders (provided the Perceptive Holders hold Registrable Securities or Warrants at the time of such amendment), and (iii) the Adagio Shareholders (provided the Adagio Shareholders hold Registrable Securities at the time of such amendment); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, any amendment hereto or waiver hereof that adversely affects one Holder, solely in its capacity as a holder of Registrable Securities, in a manner that is materially different from the other Holders (in such capacity) shall require the consent of the Holder so affected.

Section 7.12 Waiver. At any time, (i) the Company may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any Holder, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of any Holder contained herein or in any document delivered by such Holder pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of such Holder or any condition to its own obligations contained herein. At any time, (i) the Holders may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of the Company, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or in any document delivered by the Company pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any agreement of the Company or any condition to their own obligations contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby.

Ann. R-18

Section 7.13 Further Assurances. At the request of the Company, in the case of any Holder, or at the request of any Holder, in the case of the Company, and without further consideration, each party shall execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered such additional documents and instruments and take such further action as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.14 Prior Agreement Superseded. Pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Prior Agreement, the undersigned parties who are parties to such Prior Agreement hereby terminate the Prior Agreement upon the consummation of the transactions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, with the intent and effect that the Prior Agreement shall hereby be replaced and superseded in its entirety by this Agreement.

Section 7.15 No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any party.

SPONSOR LETTER AGREEMENT

This SPONSOR LETTER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 13, 2024, is made by and among Aja HoldCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“HoldCo”), ARYA Sciences Holdings IV, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “ARYA Sponsor”), ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (“ARYA”), Adagio Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), each of Todd Wider, Leslie Trigg and Michael Henderson (collectively, the “Other Class B Shareholders”, and together with the ARYA Sponsor, collectively, the “Class B Shareholders”) and each of Joseph Edelman, Adam Stone, Michael Altman and Konstantin Poukalov (collectively, the “Other Insiders”, and together with the Class B Shareholders, collectively, the “Insiders”). HoldCo, ARYA, the Company and the Insiders shall be referred to herein from time to time collectively as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, ARYA, the Company, HoldCo and other Persons party thereto entered into that certain Business Combination Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Business Combination Agreement”);

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, the Class B Shareholders collectively own 3,737,500 ARYA Class B Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Business Combination Agreement contemplates that the Parties will enter into this Agreement concurrently with the entry into the Business Combination Agreement by the parties thereto, pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the ARYA Sponsor and each Other Class B Shareholder will agree to (i) vote in favor of approval of the Business Combination Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Mergers), and (ii) subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, waive any adjustment to the conversion ratio set forth in the Governing Documents of ARYA or any other anti-dilution or similar protection with respect to all of the ARYA Class B Shares held by him, her or it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, (b) the ARYA Sponsor and each other Insider will agree, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, terminate certain existing agreements or arrangements, (c) the ARYA Sponsor will agree to, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, forfeit a number of Sponsor Shares held by it, with such number of Sponsor Shares so forfeited by the ARYA Sponsor being determined pursuant to this Agreement, and (d) the ARYA Sponsor will agree to, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of, the ARYA Merger Effective Time, subject 1,147,500 Sponsor Shares held by it to certain vesting conditions, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, each intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Consent to Business Combination; Agreement to Vote.

a. Pursuant to Section 3 of that certain Letter Agreement, dated as of February 25, 2021 (the “Insider Letter Agreement”), by and among ARYA and the Insiders, the ARYA Sponsor hereby consents to the entry by ARYA into the Business Combination Agreement and each other Ancillary Document to which ARYA is or will be a party (the “ARYA Sponsor Consent”).

b. Each Class B Shareholder (in his, her or its capacity as a shareholder of ARYA and on behalf of himself, herself or itself and not the other Class B Shareholders), by this Agreement, with respect to all ARYA Shares held by him, her or it (together with any other Equity Securities of ARYA that such Class B Shareholder holds of record or beneficially as of the date or this Agreement or acquires record or beneficial ownership of after the date hereof, collectively the “Subject ARYA Equity Securities”), hereby agrees during the term of this Agreement: (i) to vote (or cause to be voted) or execute and deliver written resolutions (or cause written resolutions to be executed and delivered), at any meeting of the shareholders of ARYA, including the ARYA Shareholders Meeting, however called, or any adjournment thereof, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders of ARYA is sought (and appear at any such meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause all of such Class B Shareholder’s Subject ARYA Equity Securities to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum), all of the Subject ARYA Equity Securities held by such

Ann. S-1

Class B Shareholder at such time (x) in favor of the approval and adoption of the Transaction Proposals, (y) against any arrangement, merger, amalgamation, consolidation, combination, sale of substantial assets, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of or by ARYA (other than the Transactions), and (z) against any matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (1) a breach of any of ARYA’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, or (2) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.3 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied; (ii) not to redeem, elect to redeem or tender or subject any of such Class B Shareholder’s Subject ARYA Equity Securities for redemption in connection with the Business Combination Agreement or the Transactions; and (iii) not to enter into any Contract to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing.

2. Waiver of Anti-dilution Protection. Each Class B Shareholder hereby (a) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of the ARYA Merger Effective Time for himself, herself or itself and for his, her or its successors, heirs and assigns, to the fullest extent permitted by Law and the Governing Documents of ARYA, and (b) agrees not to assert or perfect, any rights to adjustment or other anti-dilution protections, including as set forth in Article 12 of the Pre-Closing ARYA Articles of Association, with respect to the rate that the ARYA Class B Shares held by him, her or it convert into ARYA Class A Shares in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, and therefore the ARYA Class B Shares held by each Class B Shareholder shall convert into the right to receive HoldCo Shares (or an equivalent Equity Security) at the ARYA Merger Effective Time on a one-to-one basis.

3. Transfer of Shares. Except (x) as expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents (including the PIPE Subscription Agreements) or (y) with the prior written consent of the Company, from and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Class B Shareholder hereby agrees that he, she or it shall not (a) Transfer any of his, her or its Subject ARYA Equity Securities, (b) deposit any of his, her or its Subject ARYA Equity Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement or grant any proxy or execute any power of attorney with respect to any of his, her or its Subject ARYA Equity Securities, in each case, that conflicts with any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement, or (c) enter into any Contract, option or other legally binding arrangement or undertaking with respect to the acquisition, sale, legally binding assignment, transfer or other disposition of any of his, her or its Subject ARYA Equity Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to any acquisition, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition (i) to a Permitted Transferee, (ii) in the case of an individual, by virtue of laws of descent and distribution upon death of the individual, (iii) in the case of an individual, pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order or (iv) in the case of ARYA Sponsor, by virtue of ARYA Sponsor’s organizational documents upon liquidation or dissolution of the ARYA Sponsor; provided, that, in the case of any direct transfer, the transferring holder shall, and shall cause any transferee of his, her or its Subject ARYA Equity Securities of the type set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), to enter into a written agreement, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, agreeing to be bound by the applicable provisions of this Agreement that are applicable to the transferring holder prior and as a condition to the occurrence of such sale, transfer or other disposition and, from and after the entry into such written agreement, shall be deemed to be a Class B Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement.

4. Other Covenants. Each Class B Shareholder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and Section 5.4 (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if such Class B Shareholder is directly a party thereto, and (ii) the first sentence of Section 5.6(b) (Exclusive Dealing) of the Business Combination Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the hanging paragraph at the end of Section 5.6 of the Business Combination Agreement as it pertains to Section 5.6(b) of the Business Combination Agreement) to the same extent as such provisions apply to ARYA, as if such Class B Shareholder is directly party thereto.

Ann. S-2

5. Termination of Existing Lock-Up. Each of the Insiders and ARYA hereby agrees that, subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, Section 5 of the Insider Letter Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“5. Reserved.”

Each of the Parties further acknowledges and agrees, for the avoidance of doubt, that none of the Insiders shall be subject to any of the restrictions or obligations set forth in Section 5 of the Insider Letter Agreement from and after the ARYA Merger Effective Time and that as of such time, the Insiders will be bound by the lock-up restrictions set forth in Section V of the Investor Rights Agreement.

6. ARYA Sponsor Share Forfeiture. Subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to, the occurrence of ARYA Merger Effective Time, the ARYA Sponsor shall automatically be deemed to irrevocably forfeit, surrender and transfer to ARYA for no consideration a number of Sponsor Shares held by it immediately prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time equal to the ARYA Sponsor Forfeited Share Amount (such Sponsor Shares so forfeited, the “ARYA Sponsor Forfeited Shares”). The ARYA Sponsor hereby agrees to take, and authorizes ARYA to take, such actions as shall be necessary to evidence such forfeiture and surrender, if applicable, of the ARYA Sponsor Forfeited Shares, subject to, conditioned upon and effective as of immediately prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time. If, between the date of this Agreement and immediately prior to the ARYA Merger Effective Time the outstanding ARYA Class B Shares shall have been changed into a different number or a different class of shares, by reason of any divided, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange, or any similar event shall have occurred (including any of the foregoing in connection with the ARYA Merger), then the number of ARYA Sponsor Forfeited Shares, will be equitably adjusted to reflect such change. From and after the occurrence of the forfeiture contemplated by this Section 6, the ARYA Sponsor Forfeited Shares shall be deemed to be cancelled and no longer outstanding.

7. ARYA Sponsor Earn-Out Shares.

a. Subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of, the occurrence of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, 1,147,500 of the Sponsor Shares held by the ARYA Sponsor as of such time shall be subject to the provisions set forth in this Section 7 (such Sponsor Shares, the “Earn-Out Shares”).

b. Subject to, and conditioned upon and effective as of the occurrence of, the ARYA Merger Effective Time, the Earn-Out Shares shall be unvested and subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 7. Following the ARYA Merger Effective Time, if, at any time during the period following the ARYA Merger Effective Time and expiring on the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Period”), the Stock Price of the HoldCo Shares equals or exceeds $24.00 per share (the “Trigger Price”) for any 20 Trading Days within any 30 Trading Day period from and after the Closing Date (the “Earn-Out Target”), the Earn-Out Shares shall automatically vest and become free of the provisions of this Section 7. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a HoldCo Sale occurs at any time during the Earn-Out Period, then, immediately prior to the consummation of such HoldCo Sale, the Earn-Out Target shall be deemed satisfied and the Earn-Out Shares shall automatically vest and become free of the provisions set forth in this Section 7.

c. The ARYA Sponsor may, at any time after the ARYA Merger Effective Time, engage in any Transfer with respect to any Earn-Out Shares to a Permitted Transferee of ARYA Sponsor, to another Insider or, only with the express written consent of the HoldCo Board in its sole discretion, to another Person, subject to any applicable “lock-up” in the Investor Rights Agreement and in compliance with applicable Law. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, (i) (A) any such Transfer of Earn-Out Shares by the ARYA Sponsor (or, for the avoidance of doubt, any subsequent Transfer of Earn-Out Shares by a transferee that received Earn-Out Shares pursuant to a Transfer under this Section 7(c)) shall remain subject to this Section 7 and the terms of any applicable “lock-up” in the Investor Rights Agreement and (B) the transferee shall, in addition to any requirements in the Investor Rights Agreement, agree in writing that he, she or it is receiving and holding such Earn-Out Shares subject to the provisions of this Section 7 (provided that the provisions of this subclause (B) shall not apply in the event of a Transfer that consists solely of a pledge or encumbrance pursuant to which the transferee does not hold the Earn-Out Shares) and (ii) from and after a Transfer pursuant to this Section 7(c), all references to the ARYA Sponsor in this Section 7 shall include the transferee of a Transfer of

Ann. S-3

Earn-Out Shares pursuant to this Section 7(c) and shall collectively mean the ARYA Sponsor (to the extent that it then holds Earn-Out Shares) and each transferee of Earn-Out Shares (in each case, to the extent he, she or it then holds Earn-Out Shares). Each transferee of Earn-Out Shares pursuant to this Section 7(c) shall be a third party beneficiary of this Section 7.

d. The Earn-Out Shares and the Trigger Price (and all references to Stock Price and HoldCo Shares, to the extent related to this Section 7) shall each be adjusted appropriately to reflect the effect of any share split, reverse share split, share dividend (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into HoldCo Shares), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the HoldCo Shares (or any other Equity Securities into which they are adjusted pursuant to this Section 7(d)) at any time prior to the vesting of the Earn-Out Shares pursuant to this Section 7 so as to provide the holders of the Earn-Out Shares with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Section 7 prior to such event and as so adjusted shall, from and after the date of such event, be the Earn-Out Shares, the Trigger Price, the Stock Price and HoldCo Shares, as applicable.

e. From and after the Closing, HoldCo shall take all necessary or appropriate actions, and shall otherwise use reasonable best efforts, to remain listed as a public company on, and for the Earn-Out Shares to be tradable over, NASDAQ or any other nationally recognized U.S. stock exchange; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit HoldCo or any of its Affiliates from consummating a HoldCo Sale or entering into a definitive agreement that contemplates a HoldCo Sale. Subject to Section 7(b) and the other applicable provisions of this Section 7 (including Section 7(f)), upon the consummation of a HoldCo Sale, HoldCo shall have no further obligations under this Section 7(e).

f. From and after the vesting of the Earn-Out Shares, HoldCo shall take (or cause to be taken) all necessary or appropriate actions to evidence the ownership by the ARYA Sponsor (or its transferees permitted pursuant to Section 7(c)) of the Earn-Out Shares, including, without limitation, through the provision of an updated securities registry showing such ownership (as certified by an officer of HoldCo responsible for maintaining such registry or the applicable registrar or transfer agent of HoldCo).

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, (i) to the extent that it is necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by ARYA and the Company, for any matters, actions or proposals to be approved by the Shareholder in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the Transactions as contemplated in the Business Combination Agreement and/or the Ancillary Documents, the Shareholder shall (A) vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Company Shares in favor of and/or provide consent to, as applicable, approve any such matters, actions or proposals promptly following written request thereof from ARYA or the Company, as applicable, and (B) if applicable, cause the Subject Company Shares to be counted as present at any meeting of the Company Shareholders for purposes of constituting a quorum in connection with any vote contemplated by clause (A); provided, that nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Shareholder from exercising full power and authority to vote the Subject Company Shares in the Shareholder’s discretion for or against any proposal submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company (1) that decreases the amount or changes the form of the consideration payable to the Shareholder in any material respect or (2) that imposes any material restrictions or additional conditions on the consummation of the Mergers or the payment of the HoldCo Shares to the Shareholder, in the case of either clause (1) or (2), not contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the Ancillary Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, the Shareholder shall vote (and cause to be voted) the Subject Company Shares against and withhold consent or approval with respect to any matter, action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to result in (X) a breach of any of the Company’s covenants, agreements or obligations under the Business Combination Agreement, or (Y) any of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6.1 or 6.2 of the Business Combination Agreement not being satisfied.

2. Other Covenants and Agreements.

(a) The Shareholder hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any such agreement, (i) each of the agreements set forth on Schedule B hereto shall be automatically terminated and of no further force and effect (including any provisions of any such agreement that, by its terms, survive such termination) effective as of, and subject to and conditioned upon the occurrence of, the Closing and (ii) upon such termination neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates (including the other Group Companies and, from and after the Company Merger Effective Time, Holdco, ARYA and their respective Affiliates) shall have any further obligations or Liabilities under or with respect to each such agreement.

(b) The Shareholder hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to (i) Sections 5.3(a) (Confidentiality) and 5.4(a) (Public Announcements) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the parties to the Business Combination Agreement, as if the Shareholder is directly party thereto, (ii) the first sentence of Section 5.6(a) (Exclusive Dealing) (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the hanging paragraph at the end of Section 5.6 of the Business Combination Agreement as it pertains to Section 5.6(b) of the Business Combination Agreement) and Section 8.18 (Trust Account Waiver) of the Business Combination Agreement to the same extent as such provisions apply to the Company, as if the Shareholder is directly party thereto.

(c) The Shareholder shall use his, her or its reasonable best efforts to promptly execute and deliver all additional agreements, documents or instruments, take, or cause to be taken, all actions and provide, or cause to be provided, all additional information or other materials as may be necessary or advisable, in each case, as reasonably determined by ARYA and the Company, in connection with, or otherwise in furtherance of, the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or this Agreement, including the termination of and waivers of rights under the agreements set forth on Schedule B.

Ann. T-2

(d) The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that each of ARYA and the Company has entered into the Business Combination Agreement in reliance upon the Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement and but for the Shareholder entering into this Agreement and agreeing to be bound by, and perform, or otherwise comply with, as applicable, the agreements, covenants and obligations contained in this Agreement, ARYA and the Company would not have entered into or agreed to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

(e) The Shareholder, solely in connection with and only for the purpose of the Transactions, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) agrees that the Transactions shall not be deemed to constitute a Liquidating Transaction (as used herein, as defined in the Company Certificate of Incorporation) and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any rights he, she or it may have under the Company Certificate of Incorporation, or any other agreement to which the Shareholder is a party, if the Transactions were deemed to constitute a Liquidating Transaction, including any notice rights thereunder, and (ii) hereby waives any rights he, she or it may have under any of the agreements set forth on Schedule B with respect to the Transactions.

(f) The Shareholder acknowledges that the Company may need to amend the Company Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of the class of stock into which the Company Preferred Shares or the Company’s currently outstanding convertible promissory notes are to be converted (the “Share Increase”) and, in connection with a conversion of any class of Company Preferred Shares or the Company’s currently outstanding convertible promissory notes, hereby agrees to take any actions reasonably requested by the Company to effect the Share Increase, including the amendment of the Company Certificate of Incorporation (which may be included in the Company Shareholder Written Consent).

3. Shareholder Representations and Warranties. The Shareholder represents and warrants to ARYA and the Company as follows:

(a) If the Shareholder is not an individual, the Shareholder is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or other applicable business entity duly organized or formed, as applicable, validly existing and in good standing (or the equivalent thereof, if applicable, in each case, with respect to the jurisdictions that recognize the concept of good standing or any equivalent thereof) under the Laws of its jurisdiction of formation or organization (as applicable).

The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate (or other similar) action on the part of the Shareholder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Shareholder and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of the Shareholder (assuming that this Agreement is duly authorized, executed and delivered by ARYA and the Company), enforceable against the Shareholder in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights and subject to general principles of equity).

(c) No consent, approval or authorization of, or designation, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required on the part of the Shareholder with respect to the Shareholder’s execution, delivery or performance of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any consents, approvals, authorizations, designations, declarations, waivers or filings, the absence of which would not adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder in any material respect.

(d) None of the execution or delivery of this Agreement by the Shareholder, the performance by the Shareholder of any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, those covenants, agreements and obligations under this Agreement that relate to the provisions of the Business Combination Agreement) or the consummation of the transactions contemplated

The Shareholder has the sole right to vote (and provide consent in respect of, as applicable) the Subject Company Shares and, except for this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement and the Company Shareholders Agreement, the Shareholder is not party to or bound by (i) any option, warrant, purchase right, or other Contract that would (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)) require the Shareholder to Transfer any of the Subject Company Shares or (ii) any voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to the voting or Transfer of any of the Subject Company Shares that would adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(f) There is no Proceeding pending or, to the Shareholder’s knowledge, threatened against or involving the Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates that, if adversely decided or resolved, would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(g) There is no Order or Law issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Entity, or other legal restraint or prohibition relating to the Shareholder or any of his, her or its Affiliates that would reasonably be expected to adversely affect the ability of the Shareholder to perform, or otherwise comply with, any of his, her or its covenants, agreements or obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(h) The Shareholder, on her, his or its own behalf and on behalf of her, his or its Representatives, acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that (i) she, he or it and her, his or its Representatives have conducted their own independent review and analysis of, and, based thereon, have formed an independent judgment concerning, the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of, ARYA and the Transactions and (ii) she, he or it and her, his or its Representatives have been furnished with or given access to such documents and information about ARYA and ARYA’s businesses and operations as she, he or it and her, his or its Representatives have deemed necessary to enable her, him or it to make informed decisions with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents to which she, he or it is or will be a party and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(i) In entering into this Agreement and the other Ancillary Documents to which she, he or it is or will be a party, the Shareholder has relied solely on her, his or its own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties expressly set forth in the Ancillary Documents to which she, he or it is or will be a party and no other representations or warranties of ARYA or the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, none of the representations or warranties of ARYA or the Company set forth in the Business Combination Agreement or any other Ancillary Document) or any other Person, either express or implied, and the Shareholder, on her, his or its own behalf and on behalf of such Shareholder’s Representatives, acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the other

Ann. T-4

Ancillary Documents to which the Shareholder is or will be a party, none of ARYA, the Company or any other Person makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, in connection with or related to this Agreement, the Business Combination Agreement or the other Ancillary Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

4. Transfer of Subject Company Shares. Except as expressly contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, any Ancillary Document or with the prior written consent of each of ARYA and the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) from and after the date hereof until the earlier of the date of the Closing or the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Shareholder agrees (a) not to (i) Transfer (A) any of the Subject Company Shares or (B) rights of such Shareholder under any Company Shareholders Agreement, or (ii) enter into (A) any option, warrant, purchase right or other Contract that could (either alone or in connection with one or more events, developments or events (including the satisfaction or waiver of any conditions precedent)) require the Shareholder to Transfer the Subject Company Shares or (B) any voting trust, proxy or other Contract with respect to the voting or Transfer of the Subject Company Shares or other Equity Securities of the Company, and (b) not to take or cause to be taken any actions in furtherance of any of the matters described in the foregoing clause (a).

For purposes of this Agreement, “Transfer” means any, direct or indirect, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, mortgage, exchange, hypothecation, grant of a security interest in or disposition or encumbrance of an interest (whether with or without consideration, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law or otherwise). For purposes of this Section 4, “Permitted Transferee” means, with respect to any Person, (A) such Person’s Affiliates, (B) any direct or indirect members, partners (whether general or limited partners) or equityholders of such Person or any of its Affiliates or any officers, directors or employees of such Person or any Affiliates of any of the foregoing, (C) such Person’s immediate family or family member of any of such Person’s officers or directors, (D) any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of such Person or the immediate family of such Person or (E) if such Person is a trust, to the trustee or beneficiary(ies) of such trust or to the estate of a beneficiary of such trust.

Arya Sciences Acquisition Corp IV

51 Astor Place, 10^th Floor

New York, NY 10003

To the Board of Directors:

As per our engagement letter dated November 18, 2023, the Board of Directors of ARYA Sciences Acquisition Corp IV (“ARYA”) retained Scalar, LLC (herein referred to as “Scalar,” “we”, “our”, or “us”) to provide an opinion (this “Opinion”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of ARYA’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (such shares, at all times prior to the Effective Time, the “ARYA Class A Shares”, and such holders, the “ARYA Class A Shareholders”) (other than (i) Adagio Medical, Inc. (the “Company”), (ii) ARYA Sciences Holdings IV (“ARYA Sponsor”), (iii) the ARYA Insiders, (iv) the PIPE Investors, (v) the Convertible Security Investors and (vi) the Perceptive Investor (collectively, along with their respective affiliates, the “Excluded Parties”)) of the Consideration to be delivered to the Company Shareholders in the proposed business combination with the Company pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transaction”), without giving effect to any impact of the Transaction on any particular ARYA Class A Shareholder other than in its capacity as an ARYA Class A Shareholder.

Overview of the Transaction:

The Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”), to be entered into among ARYA, Aja Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of ARYA (“HoldCo”), Aja Merger Sub 1, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“ARYA Merger Sub”), the Company and Aja Merger Sub 2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“Company Merger Sub”), sets forth the terms of the Transaction. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Opinion have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Business Combination Agreement. We understand that the Business Combination Agreement provides, among other things, that:

(a)
ARYA Class A Shares held by the ARYA Class A Shareholders who duly elect to redeem their ARYA Class A Shares pursuant to the ARYA Shareholder Redemption will have their ARYA Class A Shares redeemed and canceled and such ARYA Class A Shareholders will cease to have any rights as shareholders of ARYA other than the right to be paid their pro rata share of the Trust Account;

(b)
On the Closing Date, at the ARYA Merger Effective Time, ARYA Merger Sub will merge with and into ARYA, with ARYA as the surviving company in the ARYA Merger, and, after giving effect to the ARYA Merger, ARYA will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of HoldCo, and each issued and outstanding ARYA Share will be automatically converted, as of the ARYA Merger Effective Time, into the right to receive one (1) HoldCo Share, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

(c)
On the Closing Date, following the consummation of the ARYA Merger, at the Company Merger Effective Time, Company Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company as the surviving company in the Company Merger and, after giving effect to the Company Merger, the Company will be a wholly-owned Subsidiary of HoldCo, and each issued and outstanding Company Share will be automatically converted as of the Company Merger Effective Time into the right to receive a portion of the aggregate number of HoldCo Shares equal to (i) $24,000,000 (subject to certain adjustments as to which we express no opinion), divided by (ii) $10.00, which is the stated value of one (1) HoldCo Share in the Business Combination Agreement (the “Consideration”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Business Combination Agreement;

(g)
the 2024 Bridge Financing Note will be contributed to HoldCo in exchange for (or will otherwise be converted into) HoldCo Convertible Notes and HoldCo Warrants based on the purchase price in the Convertible Security Financing, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the 2024 Bridge Financing Note and the 2024 Bridge Financing Agreement; and

In performing our analyses and rendering this Opinion, with your consent, we have relied upon and assumed, without assuming liability or responsibility for independent verification, the accuracy and completeness of all information and data that was publicly available or was furnished, or otherwise made available to us or discussed with or reviewed by us. We have further relied upon the assurances of the management of ARYA that the financial information provided has been prepared on a reasonable basis in accordance with industry practice, and that they are not aware of any information, facts or circumstances that would make any information provided to us inaccurate, incomplete or misleading in any respect. We also have been advised by ARYA’s senior management, and we have assumed, that the financial projections and other prospective information, including, but not limited to, projections for the timely receipt of governmental, regulatory and other third-party approvals, represent a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate the future business and financial prospects of the Company.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, for the purpose of this Opinion, we have assumed with respect to any financial forecasts, estimates, pro forma effects, and other forward-looking information reviewed by us, that such information has been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments of the management of the Company and ARYA as to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of the Company. We assume no responsibility for and express no opinion as to any such estimates, pro forma effects, or forward-looking information reviewed by us or, in each case, the assumptions on which they were based. We have relied upon, with your consent, (a) the assumptions of the management of the Company and ARYA and third-party data sources, as to all accounting, legal, tax and financial reporting matters with respect to the Company and (b) that ARYA has been advised by counsel as to all legal matters with respect to the Transaction, including whether all procedures required by law in connection with the Transaction have been duly, validly and timely taken. We have also assumed that the Transaction will have the tax consequences described in discussions with, and materials furnished to us by, representatives of the Company or ARYA and that (i) the Mergers, the PIPE Financing, and the Bridge Note Exchange will collectively be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Code, (ii) the Company Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and (iii) the Business Combination Agreement constitutes a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

We are not legal, accounting, regulatory or tax experts and this Opinion does not address any legal, regulatory, taxation or accounting matters as to which we understand that you have obtained such advice as you deemed necessary from qualified professionals, and we have assumed the accuracy and veracity of all assessments made by such advisors to the Company or ARYA with respect to such matters.

In arriving at our Opinion, with your consent and without independent verification, we have relied upon the assumption that, except as would not be in any way meaningful to our analysis: (a) the final form of each of the Reviewed Transaction Documents, as executed by the parties thereto, will not differ from the draft that we have reviewed, (b) the representations and warranties of all parties to the Business Combination Agreement, and any related Transaction documents, are correct and that such parties will comply with and perform all covenants and agreements required to be complied with or performed by such parties under the Business Combination Agreement and any related Transaction documents, (c) the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and related Transaction documents, without any waiver or amendment of any term or condition thereof, (d) and there has been no material change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of any party to the Business Combination Agreement since the date of the most recent financial statements and other information made available to us. Additionally, we have assumed that all governmental, regulatory or other third-party approvals and consents necessary for the consummation of the Transaction or otherwise contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement will be obtained without delay, limitation, restriction or condition and otherwise in a way that will not have any adverse effect on the Company or ARYA, or on the expected benefits of the Transaction, in any way meaningful to our analysis.

 

Ann. X-4

Board of Directors

In addition, we have relied upon (without independent verification and without expressing any view, opinion, representation, guaranty or warranty (in each case, express or implied)) the assessments, judgments and estimates of ARYA’s senior management and the Company’s senior management as to, among other things, (a) the potential impact on the Company of market, competitive and other trends in and prospects for, and governmental, regulatory and legislative matters relating to or affecting, the industry in which the Company operates and related industries, (b) the Company’s existing and future products, services, technology and intellectual property and the associated risks thereto (including, without limitation, the probabilities and timing of successful development and marketing thereof; the timing of successful regulatory approvals and clearances; compliance with relevant regulatory requirements; prospective sales prices and sales volumes; and the potential impact of competition thereon) and (c) ARYA’s and the Company’s existing and future relationships, agreements and arrangements with, and the ability to attract, retain and/or replace, key employees, suppliers and other commercial relationships (in each such case to the extent relevant to the Company, the Transaction and its contemplated benefits). We have assumed that there will not be any developments with respect to any of the foregoing matters that would have an adverse effect on ARYA, the Company or the Transaction (including the contemplated benefits thereof) or that otherwise would be meaningful in any respect to our analyses or opinion.

Given ARYA’s nature as a special purpose acquisition company, for purposes of our Opinion and with ARYA’s consent, we have assumed a value of $11.17 per HoldCo Share in calculating the value of the HoldCo Shares to be issued as the Consideration under the Business Combination Agreement, with such $11.17 per share value being based on (a) $41,210,838, which is the value of the assets held in ARYA’s Trust Account as of February 7, 2024, divided by (b) 3,690,831, which is the number of outstanding ARYA Class A Shares subject to redemption as of February 7, 2024. In rendering our Opinion, we do not express any view or opinion as to what the value of any HoldCo Shares will be when issued pursuant to the Transaction or the price or range of prices at which any ARYA Class A Shares, ARYA Class B Shares or other securities or financial instruments of or relating to ARYA may trade or otherwise be transferable at any time before or after announcement or consummation of the Transaction. Additionally, we express no opinion with respect to the ARYA Sponsor Forfeited Shares or the ARYA Sponsor Earn-Out Shares.

In arriving at our Opinion, we have not performed any appraisals or valuations of any specific assets or liabilities (fixed, contingent or other) of the Company or ARYA and have not been furnished or provided with any such appraisals or valuations, nor have we evaluated the solvency of the Company or ARYA under any state or federal law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. The analyses performed by us in connection with this Opinion were going concern analyses, assuming the Transaction was consummated in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we have undertaken no independent analysis of any pending or threatened litigation, regulatory action, possible unasserted claims or other contingent liabilities, to which the Company or ARYA is a party or may be subject, and at your direction and with your consent, our Opinion makes no assumption concerning, and therefore does not consider, the possible assertion of claims, outcomes, liabilities or damages arising out of any such matters.

This Opinion is necessarily based upon financial, economic, monetary, market and other conditions and circumstances as in effect on, the information available to us as of, and the facts and circumstances as they exist on, the date hereof and our Opinion speaks only as of the date hereof; events occurring after the date hereof could materially affect the assumptions used in preparing this Opinion. We have not undertaken to update, reaffirm or revise this Opinion or otherwise comment upon any events occurring after the date hereof, material information provided to us after the date hereof or any change in facts or circumstances occurring after the date hereof and do not have any obligation to update, revise or reaffirm this Opinion.

We have been engaged by ARYA to provide a fairness opinion, and we will receive a fee from ARYA for providing our services and rendering this Opinion. No portion of this fee is refundable or contingent upon the consummation of the Transaction or the conclusion reached in this Opinion. ARYA has also agreed to indemnify us against certain liabilities and reimburse us for certain expenses in connection with our services. In the past two years, we and our affiliates have not provided any other advisory services to ARYA or its affiliates for which we and our affiliates received compensation. We and our affiliates may seek to provide services to the Company, ARYA and their respective affiliates in the future and expect to receive fees for the rendering of these services. In the ordinary course of business, certain of our employees and affiliates, or entities in which they have invested, may hold or trade, for their own accounts and the accounts of their investors, securities of the Company and ARYA and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or short position in such securities.

The issuance of this Opinion was approved by an authorized committee of Scalar.

This Opinion is provided for the information and assistance of the Board (in its capacity as such) in connection with, and for the purpose of, its evaluation of the Transaction, and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how such stockholder should vote or act (including with respect to any redemption rights) with respect to the Transaction or any other matter. This Opinion shall not be disclosed, referred to, published or otherwise used (in whole or in part), nor shall any public references to us or this Opinion be made without Scalar’s prior written approval.

Our Opinion does not address ARYA’s underlying business decision to engage in the Transaction, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to other business or investment strategies or transactions that might be available to ARYA or whether the Consideration to be delivered to the Company Shareholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement represents the best price obtainable. In connection with our engagement, we were not requested to, and did not, solicit interest from other parties with respect to an acquisition of, or other business combination with, ARYA or any other alternative transaction. This Opinion addresses only the fairness from a financial point of view, as of the date hereof, to the ARYA Class A Shareholders (other than the Excluded Parties) of the Consideration to be delivered to the Company Shareholders pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement. We have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion as to the terms, other than the Consideration to the extent expressly specified herein, of the Business Combination Agreement or any related documents or the form of the Transaction or any related transaction (including any agreement or transaction between any Excluded Party and the Company or ARYA), including the fairness of the Transaction to, or any consideration received in connection therewith by, any Excluded Parties, the holders of any class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of ARYA, the Company or any of their respective affiliates. We have not been asked to, nor do we, offer any opinion with respect to any ongoing obligations of the Company, ARYA or any of their respective affiliates (including any obligations with respect to governance, appraisal rights, preemptive rights, registration rights, voting rights or otherwise) contained in any Reviewed Transaction Document or any other agreement related to the Transaction or under applicable law, any allocation of the Consideration (or any portion thereof) or the fair market value of the Company, ARYA, any ARYA Shares or the Company Shares. In addition, we express no opinion as to the fairness of the amount or nature of any compensation to be received by any officers, directors or employees of any parties to the Transaction, any Excluded Parties or any class of such persons, whether relative to the Consideration or otherwise.

We also do not address, or express a view with respect to, any acquisition of control or effective control of ARYA by any shareholder or group of shareholders of the Company. This letter should not be construed as creating any fiduciary duty of Scalar (or any of its affiliates) to any other party. To the extent any of the foregoing assumptions or any of the facts on which this Opinion is based prove to be untrue in any material respect, this Opinion cannot and should not be relied upon.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a court to award, or a corporation’s board of directors to grant, indemnity to directors and officers in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities, including reimbursement for expenses incurred, arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act.

New Adagio’s certificate of incorporation provides for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law, and New Adagio’s bylaws provide for indemnification of its directors, officers, employees and other agents to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

In addition, effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination, as defined in Part I of this registration statement, New Adagio has entered into indemnification agreements with directors, officers, and some employees containing provisions which are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements require New Adagio, among other things, to indemnify its directors against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors and to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified.

Item 22.
Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant, hereby undertakes:

(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

i.
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

ii.
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

iii.
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i.
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii.
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

iii.
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

iv.
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(6)
That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within

II-5

the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(7)
That every prospectus: (i) that is filed pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Item 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
