Additional Definitive Proxy Solicitation Materials

On January 13, 2026, Horizon Space Acquisition II Corp. (“HSPT”) filed a definitive proxy statement pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended and supplemented, the “Definitive Proxy Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for the solicitation of proxies in connection with an extraordinary general meeting (the “Extraordinary Meeting”) of HSPT’s shareholders to be held on February 3, 2026 in connection with the proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) between HSPT and SL BIO Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“SL Bio”).

On January 30, 2026, HSPT issued a press release announcing the postponement of the Extraordinary Meeting (the “Postponement”) to February 12, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (the “Rescheduled Meeting Time”), in order to allow additional time for HSPT to engage with its shareholders. The record date for determining HSPT’s shareholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting remains the close of business on December 29, 2025 (the “Record Date”). Shareholders as of the Record Date who have previously submitted their proxies or otherwise voted and who do not want to change their vote need not take any action. Shareholders who have not yet done so are encouraged to vote as soon as possible. As a result of the Postponement, the deadline for HSPT’s public shareholders to deliver their redemption requests is extended to 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on February 10, 2026.

Other than the Rescheduled Meeting Time, there is no change to information contained in the Definitive Proxy Statement. There is no change to the location, the Record Date, or any of the other proposals to be acted upon at the Extraordinary Meeting. The physical location of the Extraordinary Meeting remains at the offices of Robinson & Cole LLP located at 666 Third Avenue, 20^th Floor, New York, NY 10017, and virtually via teleconference using the dial-in information: +1 813-308-9980 (Access Code: 173547), or at such other time, on such other date and at such other place to which the Meeting may be postponed or adjourned.

Such forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the advantages and expected growth of the combined company, the cash position of the combined company following the closing, the ability of HSPT and SL Bio to consummate the proposed Business Combination and the timing of such consummation, are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in HSPT’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 27, 2025 (the “Form 10-K”), HSPT’s final prospectus dated November 14, 2024 filed with the SEC (the “Final Prospectus”) related to its initial public offering, the Definitive Proxy Statement dated January 13, 2026 filed with the SEC and the amendments and supplements thereto in connection with the Business Combination, and in other documents filed by HSPT with the SEC from time to time. Important factors that could cause the combined company’s actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include: SL Bio’s or the combined company’s limited operating history; the ability of SL Bio or the combined company to identify and integrate acquisitions; general economic and market conditions impacting demand for the products of SL Bio or the combined company; the inability to complete the proposed Business Combination; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of cash available following any redemptions by HSPT’s shareholders; the ability to meet stock exchange’s listing standards following the consummation of the proposed Business Combination; costs related to the proposed Business Combination; and such other risks and uncertainties as are discussed in the Form 10-K, the Final Prospectus and Definitive Proxy Statement and the amendments and supplements thereto. Other factors include the possibility that the proposed Business Combination do not close, including due to the failure to receive required security holder approvals, or the failure of other closing conditions.

SL Bio, PubCo (as defined below) and HSPT each expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the expectations of SL Bio, PubCo or HSPT with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based, except as required by law.
