The Business Combination Agreement

On November 9, 2025, Columbus Acquisition Corp, an Cayman Islands exempted company (“CAC”), entered into a business combination agreement (as it may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “BCA”) with WISeSat.Space Holdings Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (“Pubco”), WISeSat Merger Sub Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”), WISeSat.Space Corp., a British Virgin Islands business company (the “Company”), and WISeKey International Holding Ltd., a Swiss company (together with its successors, including after its anticipated domestication to the British Virgin Islands prior to the Closing, the “Seller”).

Pursuant to the BCA, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the BCA (the “Closing”): (a) Pubco will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Company Ordinary Shares and Company Class F Shares, each as defined in the BCA (collectively, the “Company Shares”) from the Seller in exchange for Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Class F Shares, each as defined in the BCA (the “Exchange Shares”), with the Company becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco and the Seller becoming a shareholder of Pubco (the “Share Exchange”); (b) Merger Sub will merge with and into CAC, with CAC surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Pubco (the “Merger”), as a result of which, (i) CAC shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Pubco; and (ii) each issued and outstanding CAC Security (as defined in the BCA) immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled, in exchange for the right of the holder thereof to receive Pubco Ordinary Shares (CAC, in its capacity as the surviving company of the Merger, hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Company”); and (c) immediately after the consummation of the Merger, the Seller may, in its sole discretion, distribute to its shareholders (the “Parent Shareholders”) a number of Pubco Ordinary Shares equal to up to ten percent (10%) (such percentage to be determined by the Seller in its sole discretion of the Exchange Shares (the “Seller Distribution” and, together with the Share Exchange, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the BCA and the Ancillary Documents, the “Transactions”).

Share Exchange Consideration

Immediately prior to the Effective Time, in full payment for the Company Shares, Pubco shall issue and deliver to the Seller the Exchange Shares with an aggregate value (the “Exchange Consideration”) equal to the sum of (i) Two Hundred Fifty Million U.S. Dollars ($250,000,000), plus (ii) the amount of any Transaction Financing (as defined in the BCA) that is made into the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, with each Pubco Ordinary Share valued at Ten U.S. Dollars ($10.00). The Exchange Shares will be allocated between Pubco Ordinary Shares and Pubco Class F Shares in proportion to the number of Company Ordinary Shares and Company Class F Shares owned by Seller at the time of the Share Exchange.

The Pubco Class F Shares shall, in the aggregate, be entitled to 49.9% of the total vote on any matter voted on by the holders of Pubco Shares, and the Pubco Class F Shares will automatically convert into Pubco Ordinary Shares upon certain transfers in accordance with the Company Organizational Documents.

Treatment of CAC Securities; Merger Consideration

Pursuant to the BCA, (a) immediately prior to the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Unit shall be automatically detached, and the holder thereof shall be deemed to hold one CAC Ordinary Share and one CAC Right in accordance with the terms of the applicable CAC Unit (the “Unit Separation”); (b) immediately prior to the Effective Time and immediately following the Unit Separation, each issued and outstanding CAC Right (including the CAC Rights held as a result of the Unit Separation) shall be automatically converted into one-seventh of one CAC Ordinary Share; (c) at the Effective Time, every issued and outstanding CAC Ordinary Share (including each CAC Ordinary Share converted from CAC Rights pursuant to (b) above and each CAC Ordinary Share held as a result of the Unit Separation, other than the Excluded Shares, the Dissenting Shares and the Redeemed Shares (each as defined in the BCA)) shall become and be converted automatically into the right to receive one Pubco Ordinary Share, following which, all CAC Ordinary Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist.

At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, all Merger Sub Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into an equal number ordinary shares of the Surviving Company, with the same rights, powers and privileges as the shares so converted and shall constitute the only outstanding issued shares of the Surviving Company.

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains certain statements that are not historical facts and are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws with respect to the proposed business combination among CAC, Pubco, Merger Sub, the Company and the Seller (the “Business Combination”), including without limitation statements regarding the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, the anticipated timing of the proposed Business Combination, the implied enterprise value, future financial condition and performance of the combined company after the Closing and expected financial impacts of the proposed Business Combination, the satisfaction of closing conditions to the proposed Business Combination, the level of redemptions of CAC’s public shareholders and the products and markets and expected future performance and market opportunities of the combined company. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “think,” “strategy,” “future,” “opportunity,” “potential,” “plan,” “seeks,” “may,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties.

These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this communication, including but not limited to: (i) the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of CAC’s securities; (ii) the risk that the proposed Business Combination may not be completed by CAC’s business combination deadline; (iii) the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed Business Combination, including the approval of the BCA by the shareholders of CAC, the satisfaction of the closing requirements and the receipt of certain governmental, regulatory and third party approvals; (iv) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the BCA; (v) redemptions exceeding anticipated levels; (vi) the failure to meet Nasdaq initial listing standards in connection with the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; (vii) the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed Business Combination on the Company’s business relationships, operating results, and business generally; (viii) risks that the proposed Business Combination disrupts current plans and operations of the Company and the Seller; (ix) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against CAC, Pubco, the Company or the Seller related to the BCA or the proposed Business Combination; (x) changes in the markets in which the Company competes, including with respect to its competitive landscape, technology evolution, or regulatory changes; (xi) changes in domestic and global general economic conditions; (xii) the risk that Pubco and the Company may not be able to execute its growth strategies; (xiii) risks related to supply chain disruptions; (xiv) the risk that Pubco may not be able to develop and maintain effective internal controls; (xv) costs related to the proposed Business Combination and the failure to realize anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination or to realize estimated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated shareholders redemptions; (xvi) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination and to achieve commercialization and development plans, and identify and realize additional opportunities, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the Company to grow and manage growth economically and hire and retain key employees; (xvii) inability to achieve successful results or to obtain licensing of third-party intellectual property rights for future discovery and development of the Company’s projects; (xviii) failure to commercialize products and achieve market acceptance of such products; (xix) the risk that the Company will need to raise additional capital to execute its business plan, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all; (xx) the risk that Pubco, post-combination, experiences difficulties in managing its growth and expanding operations; (xxi) the risk of product liability or regulatory lawsuits or proceedings relating to the Company’s business; (xxii) risks associated with intellectual property protection; (xxiii) the risk that the Company is unable to secure or protect its intellectual property; and (xxiv) those factors discussed in CAC’s and Pubco’s filings with the SEC and that will be contained in the Registration Statement relating to the proposed Business Combination.

The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties that will be described in the “Risk Factors” section of the Registration Statement on Form F-4 (the “Registration Statement”) and the amendments thereto, and other documents to be filed by CAC and Pubco from time to time with the SEC. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and while the Pubco and CAC may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, they assume no obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. None of Pubco, the Seller, the Company or CAC gives any assurance that Pubco, the Seller, the Company or CAC will achieve expectations. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Pubco’s, CAC’s, the Seller’s or the Company’s assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this Current Report. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
