Business Combination Agreement

On December 29, 2022, Prime Number Acquisition I Corp. (“PNAI”), Prime Number Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a Delaware corporation established for the purpose to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly incorporated exempted Cayman Islands company (“PubCo”) prior to the Business Combination (as defined below), Noco-Noco Pte. Ltd. (“Noco-Noco”) and certain shareholders of Noco-Noco collectively holding a controlling interest (together with other shareholders of Noco-Noco subsequently joining the transactions, the “Sellers”) entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the definitions assigned to such terms in the Business Combination Agreement.

Noco-Noco is a development-stage manufacturer of carbon-zero electric vehicle battery technologies. Through the research and development of multilayer battery separator and by providing sustainable mobility services for people and goods, Noco-Noco aims to address the need for energy to customers driven to carbon-zero.

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended (the “DGCL”), Merger Sub will merge with and into PNAI (the “Merger”), with PNAI surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo. The Merger will become effective at such time on the date of the closing of the Merger (the “Merger Closing”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other time specified in the certificates of merger (the “Merger Effective Time”). In addition, New SubCo shall acquire the issued and outstanding shares of Noco-Noco from the Sellers; in exchange, PubCo shall issue to the shareholders of Noco-Noco the shares of PubCo (the “Share Exchange”, and together with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Noco-Noco becoming a subsidiary of New SubCo. Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, PNAI will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of PubCo and Noco-Noco will be a subsidiary of PubCo with PubCo indirectly holding all or controlling equity interest in Noco-Noco, and the stockholders of PNAI and the Sellers would receive shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of PubCo (“PubCo Ordinary Shares”) as consideration and become the shareholders of PubCo. Following the Merger Effective Time, PubCo will change its name to “noco-noco Inc.”

Business Combination Consideration

Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time, (i) holders of each PNAI unit (“PNAI Units”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall be automatically detached and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one share of PNAI Class A Common Stock (defined below), one-half of PNAI Warrant (defined below), and one PNAI Right (defined below); (ii) holders of each share of PNAI class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“PNAI Class A Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share, (iii) holders of each share of PNAI class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“PNAI Class B Common Stock” and collectively with the PNAI Class A Common Stock, the “PNAI Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall be canceled in exchange for the right to receive one PubCo Ordinary Share, (iv) holders of each PNAI warrant (“PNAI Warrant”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall cease to be a warrant with respect to PNAI Common Stock and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a warrant of PubCo to purchase one PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the effective time of the Merger; and (v) holders of each PNAI right (“PNAI Right”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall cease to be a right with respect to PNAI Shares and be assumed by PubCo and converted into a right of PubCo to receive one-eighth (1/8) of one PubCo Ordinary Share, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions prior to the effective time of the Merger.

In addition, in connection with and at the Share Exchange Closing, each Seller shall be entitled to receive from PubCo, such number of PubCo Ordinary Shares that is equal to the product of (a) the quotient of (i) $1,350,000,000 (the “Target Valuation”), divided by (ii) the price per PubCo Ordinary Share that equals to the redemption price of each share of PNAI Class A Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination (the “PubCo Per Share Price”), multiplied by (b) such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion as set out in the Allocation Schedule of the Business Combination Agreement.
