The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on page xxiii by adding the following to the “Frequently Used Terms – Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
- The ownership calculations and percentage interests were prepared without giving effect to the Forward Purchase Agreement and do not reflect any Public Shares that may become subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement. For an illustrative presentation of the assumption that 4,000,000 Live Oak Public Shares, which is the maximum number of FPA Subject Shares under the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, are held and not redeemed by the FPA Investor through the Closing, representing the initial FPA Number of Shares that are subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction, see the “ QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE LIVE OAK EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING – What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, the Teamshares Stockholders, the Initial PIPE Investors, the SAFE Investors and the FPA Investor hold in the Combined Company immediately after the Closing? ” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. For more information regarding the Forward Purchase Agreement, FPA Transaction and FPA Subject Shares, please see the section entitled “ SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS – Forward Purchase Agreement .”
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on page xxxix by adding the following to the “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE LIVE OAK EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING – What equity stake will current Public Shareholders, the Sponsor, the Teamshares Stockholders, the Initial PIPE Investors, the SAFE Investors and the FPA Investor hold in the Combined Company immediately after the Closing?” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The numbers of shares and percentage interests set forth above reflect different redemption scenarios as set forth below.
- Assuming No Redemptions : This presentation assumes that no Public Shareholders exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares at or prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and excludes any Public Shares that may be purchased or held and not redeemed by the
4
FPA Investor, as discussed in note 7 below. As Live Oak, its directors and officers and the Sponsor waived their respective redemption rights with regard to Sponsor Shares and any other Public Shares held by them (of which there are none, as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus), only redemptions of Public Shares are considered for purposes of this presentation. Except to the extent otherwise noted in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information ”, the share calculations incorporated into the “No Redemptions” scenario also take into account the assumptions set forth in the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages ”.
-
Assuming 25% of Maximum Redemptions: In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that 4,750,000 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $49.8 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.48 per share (based on $241.1 million contained in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2026), which represents approximately 25% of the total number of Public Shares that may be redeemed in connection with the Closing (assuming no prior redemptions of Public Shares), and excludes any Public Shares that may be purchased or held and not redeemed by the FPA Investor, as discussed in note 7 below.
-
Assuming 50% of Maximum Redemptions: In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that 9,500,000 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $99.6 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.48 per share (based on $241.1 million contained in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2026), which represents approximately 50% of the total number of Public Shares that may be redeemed in connection with the Closing (assuming no prior redemptions of Public Shares) and excludes any Public Shares that may be purchased or held and not redeemed by the FPA Investor, as discussed in note 7 below.
-
Assuming Maximum Redemption Scenario: In addition to the assumptions in the “No Redemptions” scenario, this presentation assumes that 19,000,000 Public Shares are redeemed upon consummation of the Business Combination for aggregate Redemption Payments of $199.1 million, assuming a redemption price of $10.48 per share (based on $241.1 million contained in the Trust Account as of March 31, 2026), which represents the maximum number of Public Shares that could be redeemed in connection with the Closing, assuming no prior redemptions of Public Shares, and excludes any Public Shares that may be purchased or held and not redeemed by the FPA Investor, as discussed in note 7 below. A 100% redemption scenario is possible because proceeds from the Initial PIPE Investment are expected to be sufficient to satisfy the Minimum Cash Condition pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. In the event, which is not expected, that the Initial PIPE Investment is not consummated, a condition to Teamshares’ obligation to consummate the proposed Business Combination would not be satisfied unless sufficient numbers of Public Shares are not redeemed at or prior to the Closing or additional financing transactions generating proceeds to Teamshares or the Combined Company at least equal to the Minimum Cash Condition requirement are consummated; if the foregoing conditions are not satisfied and the Minimum Cash Condition is not waived by Teamshares, in its sole discretion, the Business Combination may not close.
-
For presentation purposes, shares of Combined Company Common Stock issued to members of Teamshares Management PIPE Investors (each of whom are also Teamshares Stockholders) pursuant to applicable Initial PIPE Subscription Agreements are included in the aggregate shares of Combined Company Common Stock issuable upon consummation of the Initial PIPE Investment to the Initial PIPE Investors but are excluded from the aggregate number of shares presented as issued to the Teamshares Stockholders. The presentation of pro forma ownership information set forth in the table above also takes into account, relative to the allocation of Merger Consideration amongst Teamshares security holders (and, by extension the number of Merger Consideration Shares issuable to Teamshares Stockholders at the Closing), the Liquidation Preference Assumptions further detailed under the subheading “ Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages ” and assumes the exercise, prior to
5
Closing, of Company Warrants resulting in the issuance of 48,984 shares of Teamshares Common Stock prior to the First Effective Time to the applicable warrant holder. For further details regarding the assumptions related to Liquidation Preference Elections and the aforementioned warrant exercise, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Informati on” under the subheading “ Teamshares Liquidation Preference Elections and Warrant Exercises ”.
-
SAFE Investors are holders of Teamshares SAFEs, which will automatically convert into shares of Combined Company Common Stock in accordance with their terms in connection with the Closing. For additional information about the terms of the Teamshares SAFEs and securities issuable or transferable to SAFE Investors thereunder upon consummation of the proposed Business Combination, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information ” under the subheading “ Simple Agreements for Future Equity (SAFE) Investments. ”
-
The presentation in each scenario assumes the FPA Investor has purchased and not redeemed the maximum number of Public Shares that may be subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction. Although the FPA Investor is not contractually obligated to purchase the maximum number of shares, this assumption is presented for illustrative purposes and to show the potential ownership impact if the maximum number of FPA Subject Shares is subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction. Additionally, this assumption reflects the most conservative presentation from the perspective of existing shareholders due to the resulting increase in potential dilution. In the event that the number of FPA Subject Shares is less than 4,000,000 Public Shares, a larger number of Public Shares, up to an additional 4,000,000 shares, may be redeemed for aggregate Redemption Payments of approximately $41.9 million (assuming a redemption price of $10.48 per share as of March 31, 2026).
-
Represents the aggregate number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise of Assumed Options (taking into account adjustments to the number of shares and exercise prices of corresponding in-the-money Company Options that will, upon consummation of the Business Combination, be replaced by Assumed Options), assuming no prior exercises or expiration of Company Options outstanding as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. For further information regarding Company Options and Assumed Options, please see the section of this proxy statement/prospectus entitled “ Share Calculations and Ownership Percentages .” The weighted average exercise price of the vested and unvested in-the-money Company Options to be assumed by the Combined Company at Closing under the terms of the Merger Agreement are expected to be approximately $3.50 and $7.28, respectively, as of immediately prior to the Closing (though the amount and exercise prices of Assumed Options may change in the event of changes to vesting status and forfeitures, if any, of Company Options between the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and the Closing Date and the Closing Date).
-
Represents shares of Combined Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of Combined Company Warrants (which warrants, at the Closing, will replace Live Oak Public Warrants and Live Oak Private Warrants outstanding and unexercised prior to the Mergers), assuming no prior exercises of Live Oak Public Warrants and Live Oak Private Warrants. Combined Company Warrants will be exercisable beginning 30 days following the Closing for one share of Combined Company Common Stock at an initial exercise price of $11.50 per share in accordance with the terms of the warrants. Each redemption scenario assumes that all outstanding warrants are exercised for cash.
-
Represents Earn Out Shares potentially issuable, after the Closing, to Earnout Participants (comprised of former Teamshares Stockholders and Eligible Optionholders who satisfy applicable Eligibility Conditions as of immediately prior to an Earnout Trigger Date, if any), subject to satisfaction (if any) of applicable Earnout Conditions, in each case as set forth in the Merger Agreement. Eligible Optionholders must remain continuously employed by, or in service with, the Combined Company or its subsidiaries from the Closing Date until immediately prior to an applicable Triggering Event to
6
receive Earnout Shares; Teamshares Stockholders that are Liquidation Preference Electing Holders waived entitlement to any Earnout Shares in accordance with the terms of the Liquidation Preference Election and Waiver Documents.
-
Represents 1,150,000 Deferred Founders Shares issuable to Sponsor at the Closing which, after the closing, will be subject to vesting (or forfeiture) on the basis of achieving Founder Shares Post-Closing Conditions during the Founder Share Measurement Period.
-
Represents 1,150,000 Incentive Founder Shares less the number of Incentive Founder shares which are actually utilized to incentivize investors in a Transaction Financing, secure Trust Account non-redemption or backstop arrangements or otherwise provide support in connection with any Transaction Financing. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, 63,300 Incentive Founder Shares are expected to be transferred to the SAFE Investors as “bonus” shares deliverable under the terms of the Teamshares SAFEs. To the extent that the Sponsor has not transferred or forfeited all of the Incentive Founder Shares at or prior to the Closing, then the Sponsor shall forfeit fifty percent (50%) of the remaining Incentive Founder Shares at the Closing and the other remaining fifty percent (50%) of such Incentive Founder Shares shall become subject to vesting (or forfeiture) on the basis of achieving certain share price targets during the period ending on the five-year anniversary of the Closing. These calculations assume that fifty percent (50%) of unutilized Incentive Founder Shares as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus are forfeited and the remainder shall be retained by the Sponsor and subject to vesting or forfeiture on the basis of achieving the share price Founder Shares Post-Closing Conditions during the Founder Share Measurement Period.
The foregoing table does not reflect the impact of any other equity issuances on the beneficial ownership levels of the Combined Company, such as:
-
any private investment in public equity or any other dilutive financing sources other than the Initial PIPE Investment (or the potential impact of such Financing Transactions, if any such transactions are identified and consummated, on the number of Combined Company securities issuable as Merger Consideration under the terms of the Merger Agreement), as none of Live Oak, Teamshares or the Combined Company has commitments for any such financing commitments at this time, in connection with the proposed Business Combination or otherwise and does not currently anticipate having any such transactions or commitments prior to the Closing;
-
grants of equity or equity-linked securities under the Incentive Plan, the ESPP or any other Combined Company equity incentive plans that may be made in the future; and
-
potential HBC Fee Shares that may become issuable pursuant to the terms of the HBC Fee Letter (unless Teamshares’ obligations thereunder are satisfied in cash, which they are presently expected to be).
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on page lvii by adding the following to the “QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE LIVE OAK EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING – Are there financing transactions being entered into in connection with the Business Combination?” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
In connection with the Business Combination, Live Oak entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement with the FPA Investor providing for an OTC prepaid share forward transaction involving the FPA Subject Shares, which the FPA Investor may purchase prior to the Closing, relative to which FPA Subject Shares, if any, the FPA Investor has agreed to waive redemption rights under the Live Oak Current Charter prior to and in connection with the Closing. Under the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, at the Closing, Live Oak will deliver to the FPA Investor, from funds remaining in the Trust Account, after satisfaction of required redemption payments, an amount equal to the FPA Prepayment Amount. At the maturity date of the Forward Purchase Transaction, to occur on the date (i) 24 months from the Closing Date or (ii) the date specified by FPA Investor in a written
7
notice to be delivered to Live Oak at FPA Investor’s sole discretion (which maturity date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective), unless earlier terminated in the FPA Investor’s discretion, the FPA Investor will deliver to the Combined Company all FPA Subject Shares then remaining subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction, and will be entitled to retain a portion of the FPA Prepayment Amount equal in amount to the product of the number of then-remaining FPA Subject Shares (with regard to which the Forward Purchase Transaction has not been earlier terminated) and the FPA Initial Price, with no deliverable or outlay required by the Combined Company. For more information regarding the Forward Purchase Agreement, FPA Transaction and FPA Subject Shares, please see the section entitled “ SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS – Forward Purchase Agreement .”
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on page 30 and page 136 by adding the following to the “SUMMARY OF THE PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS” following the “Merger Agreement Amendments” subsection of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, and to the “Related Agreements” following the “ PIPE Subscription Agreement ” subsection of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Forward Purchase Agreement
On June 1, 2026, Live Oak and a fund sub-advised by JBA Asset Management LLC (the “ FPA Investor ”), entered into an agreement (the “ Forward Purchase Agreement ”) for an OTC Prepaid Share Forward Transaction – Optional Early Termination (the “ Forward Purchase Transaction ”) involving up to a maximum of 4,000,000 Live Oak Public Shares (the “ FPA Subject Shares ”) in connection with the Business Combination, to take effect on the FPA Effective Date. The number of FPA Subject Shares has not, as of the date hereof, been determined (and the FPA Investor is not obligated, under the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, to purchase any Public Shares) and will be set forth in an FPA Pricing Notice to be delivered to Live Oak no later than one trading day following the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement. The FPA Subject Shares will consist of Public Shares that the FPA Investor holds or may purchase through a broker in the open market or from holders of Public Shares (other than Live Oak or affiliates of Live Oak) that have tendered requests to Live Oak to redeem such Public Shares or indicated an interest in redeeming Public Shares pursuant to the redemption rights set forth in the Current Charter, not to exceed 4,000,000 shares. The number of the FPA Subject Shares is subject to reduction (but not increase) during the term of the Forward Purchase Transaction (the “ FPA Term ”) by FPA Terminated Shares and FPA Excess Shares, each as defined below, if any (with the number of FPA Subject Shares remaining subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction as of any date during the FPA Term, the “ FPA Number of Shares ”). The FPA Investor has agreed to waive any redemption rights with respect to the FPA Subject Shares in connection with the Business Combination.
Pursuant to the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement, upon consummation, if any, of the Business Combination, Live Oak will pay the FPA Investor, from funds remaining in the Trust Account after satisfaction of required redemption payments, a “ FPA Prepayment Amount ” equal to the product of (i) the number of FPA Subject Shares multiplied by (ii) the per share redemption price of the Public Shares determined as of five (5) Exchange Business Days (as defined in the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions) prior to the Closing Date (“ FPA Initial Price ”), subject to adjustment for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations or like transactions by the Combined Company after the Closing of the Business Combination; Live Oak or the Combined Company will also reimburse the FPA Investor for certain expenses at the Closing or upon earlier termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement, as applicable.
The FPA Term lasts from the FPA Trade Date until (i) the date that is 24 months from the closing of the Business Combination or (ii) the date specified by the FPA Investor in a written notice to be delivered to Live Oak or the Combined Company at the FPA Investor’s sole discretion (the “ FPA Maturity Date ”) (which Maturity Date shall not be earlier than the day such notice is effective) unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement. Upon the FPA Maturity Date, the FPA Investor will deliver the FPA Number of Shares (meaning the number of FPA Subject Shares then-remaining subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction) to the Combined Company and will be entitled to retain a portion of the FPA Prepayment
8
Amount equal to the product of the number of such FPA Subject Shares multiplied by the FPA Initial Price; there are no FPA Maturity Date delivery obligations on the part of the Combined Company.
At any time or from time to time during the Term, the FPA Investor may sell FPA Subject Shares (or any other Combined Company securities) in one or more public or private transactions and, in connection with any such sale, terminate the Forward Purchase Transaction (a “ FPA Optional Early Termination ” or “ FPA OET ”), in whole or in part, with respect to any number of FPA Subject Shares by written notice to the Combined Company to be delivered no later than the third Exchange Business Day following the date on which a termination with respect to any such shares (the “ FPA Terminated Shares ”) occurs. Upon any FPA OET, the FPA Investor will deliver to the Combined Company a portion of the FPA Prepayment Amount equal to the product of the number of FPA Terminated Shares multiplied by the FPA Reset Price (as defined below) in effect as of the date of such FPA OET.
The “ FPA Reset Price ” in effect during the FPA Term shall initially be equal to the FPA Initial Price, subject to reduction (but not increase) as follows: (i) in the Combined Company’s discretion, to the lowest daily volume weighted average trading price (“ VWAP ”) of shares of Combined Company Common Stock over the preceding ten (10) trading days and (ii) automatically, in the event Live Oak or the Combined Company, as applicable, issues securities at effective prices lower than the then-current FPA Reset Price (an “ FPA Dilutive Offering ”), subject to certain exceptions further described in the Forward Purchase Agreement. For purposes of the Forward Purchase Agreement, FPA Dilutive Offerings, among other exclusions, do not include pre-Business Combination Closing offerings of Live Oak securities for fixed numbers of shares at fixed prices not less than $5.00 per share.
During the FPA Term, the FPA Number of Shares is subject to reduction (but not increase) for any FPA Terminated Shares and for any “ FPA Excess Shares ”, defined as FPA Subject Shares exceeding certain beneficial ownership and other limitations set forth in the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The Forward Purchase Transaction may also be terminated during the FPA Term upon the occurrence of certain material adverse changes affecting the Combined Company’s business, assets, financial condition or results of operations after the Closing and other termination events. The Forward Purchase Agreement also incorporates terms and provisions relating to extraordinary events and events of default, including provisions relating to legal or regulatory changes, insolvency and events affecting the listing or trading of the Combined Company’s securities on a national stock exchange.
The terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement have been structured, and all activity by the FPA Investor in connection therewith has been or will be undertaken, to comply with applicable tender offer regulations, including Rule 14e-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The terms of the Forward Purchase Agreement also require Live Oak to disclose the estimated redemption price per Public Share that would be available to redeeming Public Shareholders if the Trust Account were to be liquidated as of a date within two business days prior to entry into the Forward Purchase Agreement, as well as additional disclosures at least once every ten (10) Exchange Business Days through the FPA Trade Date. The approximate redemption price per share if the Trust Account was liquidated as of May 29, 2026 would be $10.54.
The FPA Investor is affiliated with HBC, which serves as the sole lender, administrative agent and collateral agent under the HBC Credit Agreement for the HBC Facility. Under the Fee Letter, the fees payable to the lender would have increased if a forward purchase agreement were not entered into prior to the Closing. Live Oak entered into the Forward Purchase Agreement in connection with satisfying this condition, and, as a result, the Combined Company will not become subject to the increased fees that would have otherwise become payable.
The Forward Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Annex A, and the foregoing description of the Forward Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on page 36 by adding the following to the “ Summary of Risk Factors ” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
Risks Related to the Forward Purchase Agreement
The Forward Purchase Agreement requires the Combined Company to fund the Prepayment Amount at the closing of the Business Combination, and the Combined Company may receive limited or no cash proceeds under the Forward Purchase Agreement, which could significantly reduce the Combined Company’s available cash and adversely affect its liquidity.
The Forward Purchase Agreement may negatively impact the market price of Combined Company Common Stock, create ownership dilution or the perception of dilution, and adversely affect the Combined Company’s ability to raise additional capital.
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on page 57 by adding the following subsection after the “ Risk Factors – Risks Related to the Business Combination and Live Oak ” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus:
Risks Related to Forward Purchase Agreement
The Forward Purchase Agreement requires the Combined Company to fund the Prepayment Amount at the closing of the Business Combination, and the Combined Company may receive limited or no cash proceeds under the Forward Purchase Agreement, which could significantly reduce the Combined Company’s available cash and adversely affect its liquidity.
If the FPA Investor purchases any FPA Recycled Shares pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement, the Combined Company will be required to pay the Prepayment Amount to the FPA Investor in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, which is expected to be funded from amounts otherwise held in the Trust Account. As a result, the Combined Company may have significantly less cash available following the Business Combination to fund operations, growth initiatives, acquisitions or other corporate purposes than it would have had if an equivalent number of Public Shares had remained outstanding after the Business Combination but were not subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement. Utilizing, solely for calculation purposes, an FPA Initial Price of $10.54 (the estimated redemption price per Public Share as of May 29, 2026) and assuming the FPA Investor holds the maximum 4,000,000 Live Oak Public Shares through the Closing, the FPA Prepayment Amount payable to the FPA Investor at the Closing would be approximately $42.2 million. The Combined Company will not have access to the FPA Prepayment Amount immediately following the Closing, and depending on the manner in which the FPA Investor’s Forward Purchase Transaction is settled, may never have access to the FPA Prepayment Amount. Furthermore, any proceeds to which the Combined Company may be entitled pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement will not be held in any bankruptcy-protected account, escrow account, trust account, or any similar arrangement, and there is no requirement for the FPA Investor to hold such amount separate or apart from any other funds of the FPA Investor prior to the settlement of the transactions pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreement. The lack of any such bankruptcy-protected arrangement subjects us to further risk that the Combined Company may never have access to the settlement proceeds if the FPA Investor fails to make payments when due, defaults under the Forward Purchase Agreement, becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy.
Following the closing of the Business Combination, the FPA Investor may, from time to time and in its sole discretion, elect to terminate all or a portion of the Forward Purchase Transaction through an FPA OET, upon which the FPA Investor would pay the Combined Company an amount equal to the number of Terminated Shares multiplied by the then-applicable FPA Reset Price. However, the FPA Investor is not obligated to elect any FPA OET and may retain some or all of the shares subject to the Forward Purchase Agreement through the FPA Maturity Date. In addition, the FPA Reset Price may be reduced over time, including to the lowest daily VWAP price over the prior ten trading days at the election of the Combined Company and automatically upon certain dilutive issuances. If the trading price of the Combined Company common stock declines following the Business
10
Combination, the FPA Reset Price may also decline, which would reduce the amount of cash the Combined Company receives in connection with any FPA OET. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Combined Company will receive significant cash proceeds, or any cash proceeds, from future FPA OETs under the Forward Purchase Agreement.
The Forward Purchase Agreement includes various termination provisions and extraordinary event provisions, including in connection with delisting events, insolvency events, changes in law, certain governmental actions, termination of the Merger Agreement, and certain material adverse changes involving the Combined Company. The occurrence of one or more such events could result in the termination of the Forward Purchase Agreement or otherwise adversely affect the economic benefits expected to be received by the Combined Company thereunder. In addition, if the FPA Investor decides to sell the FPA Recycled Shares into the market, it may cause the trading price of the Combined Company’s common stock to decline significantly. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Combined Company will receive the anticipated cash proceeds, or any proceeds, from the Forward Purchase Agreement, which may adversely affect the Combined Company’s liquidity and capital needs following the Business Combination. In addition, holders may experience a loss as a result of a decline in the market price of the Combined Company’s common stock.
The Forward Purchase Agreement may negatively impact the market price of the Combined Company Common Stock, create ownership dilution or the perception of dilution, and adversely affect the Combined Company’s ability to raise additional capital.
The economic return available to the FPA Investor under the Forward Purchase Agreement may differ significantly from the economic return available to other holders of Combined Company Common Stock. Unlike other holders of Combined Company Common Stock, the FPA Investor’s economic return may depend not only on the market price of shares it owns or sells, but also on the contractual settlement mechanics under the Forward Purchase Agreement. During the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement, the FPA Investor may sell shares subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction and subsequently elect an Optional Early Termination with respect to such shares. In connection with an Optional Early Termination, the FPA Investor is generally required to make a payment to the Combined Company based on the applicable FPA Reset Price, rather than the market price at which such shares may have been sold.
As a result, if the market price of Combined Company Common Stock exceeds the applicable FPA Reset Price, the FPA Investor may be able to retain the difference between the market sale price and the FPA Reset Price. In addition, because the FPA Reset Price may be adjusted downward during the term of the Forward Purchase Agreement, including in connection with certain dilutive issuances, the amount payable to the Combined Company upon an Optional Early Termination may be less than the per-share FPA Initial Price used to calculate the FPA Prepayment Amount paid to the FPA Investor at Closing. These mechanics may provide the FPA Investor with economic incentives that differ from, and in some circumstances may be adverse to, those of other holders of Combined Company Common Stock.
The FPA Investor may therefore be incentivized to sell shares following the Closing, including during periods in which the market price of Combined Company Common Stock exceeds the applicable FPA Reset Price, rather than hold such shares as a long-term investment. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock into the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could create downward pressure on the market price of the Combined Company’s common stock and increase volatility in the trading price of such securities.
In addition, to the extent FPA Subject Shares are not redeemed and remain outstanding following the Business Combination, the ownership percentage of other holders of Combined Company Common Stock may be reduced relative to a scenario in which such shares were redeemed.
Accordingly, the interests of the FPA Investor may not be aligned with the interests of other holders of Combined Company Common Stock, and the operation of the Forward Purchase Agreement could negatively
11
impact the market price of Combined Company Common Stock, create ownership dilution or the perception of dilution and adversely affect the Combined Company’s ability to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all.
The Proxy Statement/Prospectus is amended and supplemented on pages 321 and 322 by adding the following to the “BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES” section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus after each instance of “Both scenarios also assume that, at the Closing, 49,431,767 shares of Combined Company Common Stock will be issued to the Teamshares Stockholders in the Merger. ”
Both scenarios were prepared without giving effect to any Public Shares that may be held by the FPA Investor and become subject to the Forward Purchase Transaction.

Reference is made to the final prospectus of LOAC, dated as of February 27, 2025, and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) on February 28, 2025 (File No. 333-284207) (the “ IPO Prospectus ”). Seller understands that LOAC has established a trust account (the “ Trust Account ”) containing the proceeds of LOAC’s initial public offering (the “ IPO ”) and from certain private placements occurring simultaneously with the IPO (including without limitation interest accrued from time to time thereon) for the benefit of LOAC’s public shareholders (the “ Public Shareholders ”) and that, except as otherwise described in the IPO Prospectus and LOAC’s organizational documents, LOAC may disburse monies from the Trust Account only: (a) to the Public Shareholders in the event they elect to redeem their LOAC Class A ordinary shares in connection with the consummation of LOAC’s initial business combination (as such term is used in the IPO Prospectus) (an “ Initial Business Combination ”); or in connection with an extension of its deadline to consummate an Initial Business Combination, (b) to the Public Shareholders if LOAC fails to consummate an Initial Business Combination within twenty-one (21) months after the closing of the IPO, and subject to further extension by amendment to LOAC’s organizational documents, (c) with respect to any interest earned on the amounts held in the Trust Account, amounts necessary to pay for any taxes and up to $100,000 in dissolution expenses, or (d) to LOAC after or concurrently with the consummation of an Initial Business Combination. For and in consideration of LOAC entering into this Confirmation and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Seller hereby agrees on behalf of itself and its affiliates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Confirmation other than as expressly provided in this paragraph below, neither the Seller nor any of its affiliates do 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 without limitation any distributions therefrom), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, this Confirmation or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability (collectively, the “ Released Claims ”). The Seller on behalf of itself and its affiliates hereby irrevocably waives any Released Claims that the Seller or any of its affiliates may have against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom) now or in the future and will not seek recourse against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom) for any reason whatsoever (including without limitation for an alleged breach of this Confirmation or any other agreement with LOAC or its affiliates). The Seller agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Confirmation and specifically relied upon by LOAC and its affiliates to induce LOAC to enter in this Confirmation, and the Seller further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable against the Seller and each of its affiliates under applicable law. To the extent that the Seller or any of its affiliates commences any action, claim or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to LOAC or its Representatives, which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against LOAC or its Representatives, the Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that its and its affiliates’ sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Account and that such claim shall not permit the Seller or any of its affiliates (or any person claiming on any of their behalves or in lieu of them) to have any claim against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom) or any amounts contained therein. In the event that the Seller or any of its affiliates commences any action, claim or proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to LOAC or its Representatives which proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Account (including without limitation any distributions therefrom) or the Public Shareholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, LOAC and its Representatives, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover from the Seller and its affiliates, as applicable, the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such action, claim or proceeding, in the event LOAC or its Representatives, as applicable, prevails in such Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph (the “ Trust Waiver Provisions ”) shall not affect any rights of the Seller or its affiliates to (i) receive distributions from the Trust Account in their capacities as Public Shareholders upon the redemption of their shares in accordance with the IPO Prospectus and LOAC organizational documents (to the extent the Seller is permitted by this Confirmation to participate in such redemption), including in the event of an Additional Termination Event, or the liquidation of LOAC if it does not consummate an Initial Business Combination prior to its deadline to do so, or (ii) seek specific performance or other equitable relief for LOAC to comply with the terms of this Confirmation (other than a claim against the Trust Account or distributions therefrom except as provided in
A-3
clause (i) above or the failure to make the Prepayment upon the closing of the Business Combination as described below). For purposes of this Confirmation, the term (x) “ Representatives ” with respect to any person shall mean such person’s affiliates and its and its affiliate’s respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors, agents and other representatives. The Trust Waiver Provisions shall survive termination or expiration of this Confirmation for any reason and continue indefinitely, and the term “ person ” shall refer to any individual, corporation, partnership, trust, limited liability company or other entity or association, including any governmental or regulatory body, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or any other capacity.

with the Business Combination pursuant to the BCA based on the price set forth therein as of this date. In the event that warrants or other derivative securities are issued as part of a Secondary Transaction, the Black-Scholes value of such warrant
or other derivative security shall be deducted from the price per share or unit paid by the investor in such offering in order to determine whether a Dilutive Offering took place and the Reduced Price. To the extent other consideration is granted in
conjunction with a Secondary Transaction, the fair value of such other consideration shall be deducted from the price per share or unit paid by the investor in such offering in order to determine whether a Dilutive Offering took place and in
calculating the Reduced Price. |

| In the event that a party (the “ Disputing Party ” ) does not agree with any determination made (or the failure to make any determination) by the Calculation Agent, the Disputing Party shall have the right | |
| to require that the Calculation Agent have such determination reviewed by a disinterested third party that is a dealer in derivatives of the type that is the subject of the dispute and that is not an affiliate of either party (a “ Third | |
| Party Dealer ”). Such Third Party Dealer shall be jointly selected by the parties within one (1) Exchange Business Day after the Disputing Party’s exercise of its rights hereunder (once selected, such Third Party Dealer shall be | |
| the “ Substitute Calculation Agent ”). If the parties are unable to agree on a Substitute Calculation Agent within the prescribed time, each of the parties shall elect a Third Party Dealer and such two dealers shall agree on a Third | |
| Party Dealer by the end of the subsequent Exchange Business Day. Such Third Party Dealer shall be deemed to be the Substitute Calculation Agent. Any exercise by the Disputing Party of its rights hereunder must be in writing and shall be delivered to | |
| the Calculation Agent not later than the third Exchange Business Day following the Exchange Business Day on which the Calculation Agent notifies the Disputing Party of any determination made (or of the failure to make any determination). Any | |
| determination by the Substitute Calculation Agent shall be binding in the absence of manifest error and shall be made as soon as possible but no later than the second Exchange Business Day following the Substitute Calculation Agent’s | |
| appointment. The costs of such Substitute Calculation Agent shall be borne by (a) the Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent substantially agrees with the Calculation Agent or (b) the non-Disputing Party if the Substitute Calculation Agent does not substantially agree with the Calculation Agent. If, after following the procedures and within the specified time frames set forth above, a | |
| binding determination is not achieved, the original determination of the Calculation Agent shall apply. | |

(c) Compliance with Law . Seller will comply with applicable law in all material respects in connection with its purchases or sales of any Shares in connection with the Transaction.
(d) Shareholder Vote . Seller agrees to not vote any Shares it holds as of the applicable record date in connection with the Business Combination at any meeting of the Counterparty’s shareholders (or to provide a written consent for that purpose with respect to such Shares) if it would be in violation of Interpretation 166.01 to do so.
(e) Private Placement . Seller (i) is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act, (ii) is entering into the Transaction for its own account without a view to the distribution or resale thereof and (iii) understands that the assignment, transfer or other disposition of the Transaction has not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act.
Transactions by Seller in the Shares

Unless specified in an OET Notice, no sale of Shares by the Seller shall terminate all or any portion of this Confirmation and provided that Seller complies with all of its other obligations hereunder nothing contained herein shall limit any of Seller’s purchases and sale of Shares.
(b) In any month in which an OET Notice has been provided, Seller will give written notice to Counterparty of any sale of Shares by Seller within five Exchange Business Day following the end of each calendar month, such notice to include the date of the sale and the number of Shares sold.

(i) Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty is not entering into the Transaction to create actual or apparent trading activity in the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) or to raise or depress or otherwise manipulate the price of the Shares (or any security convertible into or exchangeable for the Shares) for the purpose of inducing the purchase or sale of such securities or otherwise in violation of the Exchange Act, and Counterparty represents and warrants to Seller that Counterparty has not entered into or altered, and agrees that Counterparty will not enter into or alter, any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the Shares. Counterparty acknowledges that it is the intent of the parties that the Transaction comply with the requirements of paragraphs (c)(1)(i)(A) and (B) of Rule 10b5-l under the Exchange Act (“ Rule l0b5-1 ”) and the Transaction shall be interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-l(c).

Counterparty represents and warrants that it has consulted with its own advisors as to the legal aspects of its adoption and implementation of this Confirmation and the Transaction under Rule 10b5-l.
(iii) Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any amendment, modification, waiver or termination of this Confirmation must be effected in accordance with the requirements for the amendment or
A-17
termination of a “plan” as defined in Rule 10b5-l(c). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that any such amendment, modification, waiver or termination shall be made in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade the prohibitions of Rule l0b-5, and no such amendment, modification or waiver shall be made at any time at which Counterparty, or any officer, director, manager or similar person of Counterparty is aware of any material non-public information regarding Counterparty or the Shares.
(b) [Reserved.]
(c) Tran s fer or Assignment . The rights and duties under this Confirmation may not be transferred or assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, subject to the immediately following sentence; provided, that Seller may transfer all of its rights and obligations under this Confirmation to its affiliate without such consent so long as Seller remains secondarily liable for its obligations under this Confirmation. If at any time following the closing of the Business Combination at which (i) the Section 16 Percentage exceeds 9.9%, or (ii) the Share Amount exceeds the Applicable Share Limit (if any applies) (any such condition described in clause (i) or (ii), an “ Excess Ownership Position ”), Seller is unable to effect a transfer or assignment of a portion of the Transaction to a third party on pricing terms reasonably acceptable to Seller and within a time period reasonably acceptable to Seller such that no Excess Ownership Position exists, then, in addition to the rights of Seller to terminate pursuant to an OET Notice delivered in accordance with the “Optional Early Termination” provisions above, Seller may elect to terminate a portion of the Transaction (such Shares so terminated, the “ Excess Shares ”), such that following such partial termination no Excess Ownership Position exists.

The “ Share Amount ” as of any day is the number of Shares that Seller and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Seller and any group (however designated) of which Seller is a member (Seller or any such person or group, a “ Seller Person ”) under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Counterparty that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of Shares ( “ Applicable Restrictions ” ), owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Seller in its sole discretion.

(d) Indemnification . Counterparty agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its affiliates and its permitted assignees and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and controlling persons (each such person being an “ Indemnified Party ”) from and against any and all losses (but not including financial losses to an Indemnified Party relating to the economic terms of the Transaction

provided that the Counterparty performs its obligations under this Confirmation in accordance with its terms), claims, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), joint or several, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party (other than costs, expenses and obligations the allocation of which between the parties is otherwise explicitly provided for in this Confirmation opposite the caption, “Reimbursement of Legal Fees and Other Expenses”) arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, (i) the performance by Counterparty of its obligations under the Transaction, any material breach of any covenant or representation made by Counterparty in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or (ii) any third-party claim with respect to (A) regulatory filings made by Counterparty related to the Transaction (other than as it relates to any information provided by or on behalf of Seller or its affiliates) or (B) the consummation of the Transaction; provided, however, that Counterparty has no indemnification obligations with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense related to the manner in which any Indemnified Party sells, or arising out of any sales by an Indemnified Party of, any Shares owned by an Indemnified Party. Counterparty will not be liable under the foregoing indemnification provision to the extent that any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is related to the manner in which Seller sells, or arising out of any sales by Seller of, any Shares, including the Recycled Shares, or found in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from any Indemnified Party’s material breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from any Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith in performing its obligations pursuant to the Transaction. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold harmless any Indemnified Party, then Counterparty shall contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability. In addition (and in addition to any other Reimbursement of Legal Fees and other Expenses contemplated by this Confirmation), Counterparty will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable, out-of-pocket, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) as they are incurred in connection with the investigation of, preparation for or defense or settlement of any pending or threatened claim or any action, suit or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not such claim, action, suit or proceeding is initiated or brought by or on behalf of Counterparty. Counterparty also agrees that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability to Counterparty or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of Counterparty in connection with or as a result of any matter referred to in this Confirmation except to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Counterparty result from such Indemnified Party’s material breach of any covenant, representation or other obligation in this Confirmation or the ISDA Form or from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Indemnified Party or breach of any U.S. federal or state securities laws or the rules, regulations or applicable interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the completion of the Transaction contemplated by this Confirmation and any assignment and/or delegation of the Transaction made pursuant to the ISDA Form or this Confirmation shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this paragraph shall be subject to the Trust Waiver Provisions in all respects, and any claims by an Indemnified Party under this paragraph or any other provision of this Confirmation (even if they are not a party to this Confirmation) will be made subject to the Trust Waiver Provisions as if they were the Seller thereunder.
