NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF GORES TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS, INC.

TO BE HELD ON [●], 2022

To the Stockholders of Gores Technology Partners, Inc.:

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a special meeting of the stockholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Gores Technology Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”), which, in light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, will be held via live webcast at [●], on [●], 2022 at [●]. The Special Meeting can be accessed by visiting www.meetnow.global/M6L2C9S, where you will be able to listen to the meeting live and vote during the meeting. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication. You are cordially invited to attend the Special Meeting to conduct the following items of business:

The above matters are more fully described in this proxy statement, which also includes as Annex A and Annex B respectively, a copy of the Charter Amendment and the Trust Amendment. The Company urges you to read carefully this proxy statement in its entirety, including the Annexes.

The record date for the Special Meeting is November 22, 2022 (the “Record Date”). Only stockholders of record at the close of business on that date may vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. A complete list of our stockholders of record entitled to vote at the Special Meeting will be available for ten days before the Special Meeting at our principal executive offices for inspection by stockholders during ordinary business hours for any purpose germane to the Special Meeting.

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (H.R. 5376) (the “IRA”), which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022 (the “Excise Tax”). The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities trade on Nasdaq, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IRA. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance, there is significant risk that the Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of our shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) issued in the IPO (the

“Public Shares”) after December 31, 2022, including redemptions made if we are unable to consummate a Business Combination by or before the Original Termination Date. The application of the Excise Tax to any redemptions we make after December 31, 2022 could potentially reduce the per-share amount that our holders of Public Shares (the “Public Stockholders”) would otherwise be entitled to receive.

The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to change the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date such that (i) the Company will be obligated to redeem all issued and outstanding Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days after the Amended Termination Date, which will allow the Company to return the funds to its Public Stockholders in calendar year 2022 before the Excise Tax begins to apply to stock repurchases and redemptions in 2023, to enable these stockholders to recover their investment sooner without any deductions for the Excise Tax and deploy such returned funds as they see fit, (ii) subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) and (if required by the DGCL) the Company’s then-remaining stockholders after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, the Company will dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law, as promptly as reasonably possible after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, and (iii) Computershare will commence liquidation of the Trust Account promptly upon the Amended Termination Date. The securities offered in the IPO were units (the “Units”) comprised of one share of Class A Common Stock and one-fifth of one redeemable warrant (a “Public Warrant”). The Company also plans to voluntarily delist the Class A Common Stock, Public Warrants and Units from Nasdaq Capital Markets (“Nasdaq”) as soon as practicable after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, subject to the rules of Nasdaq and the Amended Charter.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the IRA and the Excise Tax, the time value of money and the conclusion that it is very unlikely that the Company would be able to complete a business combination before the Original Termination Date, the Board has determined that the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and unanimously recommends that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of the proposals.

Pursuant to the Charter, a Public Stockholder shall be provided with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares upon the approval of an amendment to any provision of the Charter relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to fund regulatory expenses and/or to pay its franchise and income taxes, divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company will be obligated to redeem all Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible after the Amended Termination Date. THEREFORE, NO ACTION IS REQUIRED ON YOUR PART IN ORDER TO REDEEM YOUR SHARES BECAUSE IF THE CHARTER AMENDMENT PROPOSAL AND THE TRUST AMENDMENT PROPOSAL ARE APPROVED, YOUR SHARES WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY REDEEMED AS PART OF THE MANDATORY REDEMPTION.

If the Charter Amendment is approved, holders of Public Shares will have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest not previously released to the Company to pay regulatory compliance cost and/or to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of such net interest to pay dissolution expenses), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding Public Shares.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal is not approved or implemented, and a business combination is not completed on or before March 16, 2023, 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, complete the Mandatory Redemption, which redemption may be subject to the Excise Tax that could reduce the per-share amount that our Public Stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following the Mandatory Redemption, and subject to the approval of the Board and (if required by the

DGCL) the Company’s then-remaining stockholders, in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal each require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “Class F Common Stock,” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), voting together as a single class. Gores Technology Partners Sponsor, a Delaware limited liability company (our “Sponsor”), and Mr. Manik Gupta, Mr. Muhammad Shahzad and Mr. Shiva Rajaraman, the Company’s independent directors (collectively, together with our Sponsor, our “Initial Stockholders”), officers and other current directors intend to vote the shares of Class F Stock that are currently owned by our Initial Stockholders (the “Founder Shares”) in favor of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal. Currently, our Initial Stockholders own 20% of our issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, including all of the Founder Shares.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by holders of our outstanding shares of Common Stock represented in person via the virtual meeting platform or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to Company stockholders in the absence of a quorum, in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Company stockholders.

Each of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is cross-conditioned on the approval of each other. The Adjournment Proposal is not conditioned upon the approval of any other proposal. If, based upon the tabulated vote at the time of the Special Meeting, there are insufficient votes from the holders of Common Stock to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal, the Company may move to adjourn the Special Meeting to such later date or dates to permit further solicitation and vote of proxies. The Company also reserves the right to move to adjourn the Special Meeting to such later date or dates in the event that the Board determines before the Special Meeting that it is not necessary or no longer desirable to proceed with the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal. In those events, at the Special Meeting the Company will ask its stockholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Charter Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal. If the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved at the Special Meeting, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented.

Your vote is very important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, please vote as soon as possible by following the instructions in the accompanying proxy statement to make sure that your shares are represented at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. 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 Special 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 Special Meeting in person via the virtual meeting platform, the effect will be that your shares will not be counted for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. If you are a stockholder of record and you attend the Special Meeting and wish to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform, you may withdraw your proxy and vote in person via the virtual meeting platform.

Enclosed is the proxy statement containing important information about the Special Meeting, the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Whether or not you plan to attend the Special Meeting, the Company urges you to read this material carefully and vote your shares.

This Notice of Special Meeting and the accompanying proxy statement are dated [●], 2022 and are first being mailed to stockholders on or about that date.

Stockholders are urged to read carefully this entire proxy statement, including the other documents referred to herein, to fully understand the proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting and the voting procedures for the Special Meeting.

In light of public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, the Special Meeting will be held via live webcast at [●], on [●], 2022 at [●].

Like most blank check companies, the Charter provides for the return of the IPO proceeds held in trust to the Public Stockholders if there is no qualifying business combination(s) consummated within 24 months after the date of the closing of the IPO (i.e., by the Original Termination Date).

On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the IRA, which, among other things, imposes a 1% excise tax on any domestic corporation that repurchases its stock after December 31, 2022. The Excise Tax is imposed on the fair market value of the repurchased stock, with certain exceptions. Because we are a Delaware corporation and our securities trade on Nasdaq, we are a “covered corporation” within the meaning of the IRA. While not free from doubt, absent any further guidance, there is significant risk that the Excise Tax will apply to any redemptions of our Public Shares after December 31, 2022, including redemptions made if we are unable to consummate a Business Combination by or before the Original Termination Date. The application of the Excise Tax to any redemptions we make after December 31, 2022 could potentially reduce the per-share amount that our Public Stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive.

The purpose of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal is to change the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date such that (i) the Company will be obligated to redeem all issued and outstanding Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible, but not more than ten business days after the Amended Termination Date, which will allow the Company to return the funds to its Public Stockholders in calendar year 2022 before the Excise Tax begins to apply to stock repurchases and redemptions in 2023, to enable these stockholders to recover their investment sooner without any deductions for the Excise Tax and deploy such returned funds as they see fit, (ii) subject to the approval of the Board and (if required by the DGCL) the Company’s then-remaining stockholders after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, the Company will dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law, as promptly as reasonably possible after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, and (iii) Computershare will commence liquidation of the Trust Account promptly upon the Amended Termination Date. The Company also plans to voluntarily delist the Class A Common Stock, Public Warrants and Units from Nasdaq as soon as practicable after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, subject to the rules of Nasdaq and the Amended Charter.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, including, but not limited to, the IRA and the Excise Tax, the time value of money and the conclusion that it is very unlikely that the Company would be able to complete a business combination before the Original Termination Date, the Board has determined that the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. On this basis, we believe that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to amend the Charter and the Trust Agreement to change the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date and is therefore holding this Special Meeting.

If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered a stockholder of record and you do not need to register to attend the Special Meeting virtually. Please follow the instructions on your Company stockholder proxy card.

If your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must register in advance to attend the Special Meeting virtually. To register to attend the Special Meeting in person via the virtual meeting platform, you must obtain a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee, reflecting your Company holdings along with your name and email address and submit to legalproxy@computershare.com. Requests for registration must be labeled as “Legal Proxy” and be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on [•], 2022. You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email.

Proposal No. 1 — Charter Amendment Proposal — To amend the Company’s Charter by adopting the Charter Amendment in the form set forth in Annex A of this proxy statement to change the date by which the Company must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete a Business Combination, from the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date;

Proposal No. 2 — Trust Amendment Proposal — To amend the Trust Agreement, pursuant to an amendment to the Trust Agreement in the form set forth in Annex B of this proxy statement, to change the date on which Computershare must commence liquidation of the Trust Account to the Amended Termination Date; and

Proposal No. 3 — Adjournment Proposal — To consider and vote upon a proposal to allow the chairman of the Special Meeting to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary, for the absence of a quorum, to solicit additional proxies from Company stockholders to approve the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the accompanying proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Company stockholders.

The Trust Agreement currently provides that Computershare shall commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) its receipt of the applicable instruction letter delivered by the Company in connection with either a closing of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s inability to effect an initial Business Combination within the time frame specified in the Charter or (y) the Original Termination Date. If the Trust Amendment Proposal is approved, Computershare shall commence liquidation of the Trust Account only after and promptly after (x) its receipt of the applicable instruction letter delivered by the Company in connection with either a closing of an initial Business Combination or the Company’s inability to effect an initial Business Combination within the time frame specified in the Charter or (y) upon the Amended Termination Date, if the aforementioned termination letter has not been received by Computershare prior to such date.

The Board has determined that (i) it is not feasible for the Company to complete an initial Business Combination by either the Original Termination Date or the Amended Termination Date and (ii) due to recent changes in tax law, it is advantageous to the Company’s stockholders to dissolve the Company and redeem all outstanding Public Shares prior to December 31, 2022.

The Board believes that the current provisions of the Charter and the existing Trust Agreement described above were included to protect the Company’s stockholders from having to sustain their investment for an unreasonably long period if the Company were unable to find a suitable initial Business Combination target in the timeframe contemplated by the Charter. However, even though the Board has determined that it is very unlikely that the Company would be able to complete a Business Combination before the Original Termination Date, in the absence of the affirmative vote of at least 65% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting together as a single class, to commence the voluntary liquidation of the Company prior to the consummation of a Business Combination, the Company is not permitted by the Charter and the existing Trust Agreement to return the funds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders by way of liquidating the Trust Account until after the Original Termination Date, and the Public Stockholders may only exercise their redemption rights in connection with a stockholder vote on a proposed Business Combination or upon the approval of an amendment to any provision of the Charter relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity.

The securities offered in the IPO were the Units comprised of one Public Share and one-fifth of one Public Warrant. The Company also plans to voluntarily delist the Class A Common Stock, Public Warrants and Units from Nasdaq as soon as practicable after completion of the Mandatory Redemption, subject to the rules of Nasdaq and the Amended Charter.

In the event the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved or implemented and the Company is unable to complete a business combination on or before the Original Termination Date, the Company will dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the Charter.

For further details about the reasons for the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, see the sections titled “Proposal No. 1 — The Charter Amendment Proposal — Reasons for the Charter Amendment Proposal” and “Proposal No. 2 — The Trust Amendment Proposal — Reasons for the Trust Amendment Proposal,” respectively, of this proxy statement.

The Company may also move to adjourn the Special Meeting in the absence of a quorum or to ensure that a supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Company stockholders. In that event, the Company will ask its stockholders to vote only upon the Adjournment Proposal and not on the Charter Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal.

If presented, the Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favor of the Adjournment Proposal.

If you attend the Special Meeting in person or by proxy, you may vote “AGAINST” the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal, and your shares of Common Stock will be counted for the purposes of determining whether the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal or the Adjournment Proposal (as the case may be) is approved.

However, if you fail to return your proxy card, or if you fail to attend the Special Meeting in person or by proxy or do attend the Special Meeting in person or by proxy but “ABSTAIN” or otherwise fail to vote at the Special Meeting, (a) your shares of Common Stock will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, and (b) with respect to the Adjournment Proposal, your shares of Common Stock will have no effect on the outcome of such vote.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal are approved, the Adjournment Proposal will not be presented for a vote.

7

If the Charter Amendment Proposal or the Trust Amendment Proposal is not approved at the Special Meeting or at any adjournment thereof or is not implemented, and a business combination is not completed on or before the Original Termination Date, then as contemplated by and in accordance with the Charter, 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, complete the Mandatory Redemption, which redemption may be subject to the Excise Tax that could reduce the per-share amount that our Public Stockholders would otherwise be entitled to receive, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following the Mandatory Redemption, and subject to the approval of the Board and (if required by the DGCL) the Company’s then-remaining stockholders, in accordance with applicable law, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under the DGCL to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

8

The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of all then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting together as a single class.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting together as a single class, who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting. The Adjournment Proposal will only be presented to Company stockholders in the absence of a quorum, in the event that there are insufficient votes for, or otherwise in connection with, the approval of the Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal or to ensure that any supplement or amendment to this proxy statement/prospectus is timely provided to Company stockholders.

Voting by Mail. By signing the Company stockholder proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the Company stockholder proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the Company stockholder proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one Company stockholder proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all Company stockholder proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. Votes submitted by mail must be received by [●] on [●], 2022.

Voting at the Special Meeting via the Virtual Meeting Platform. If you attend the Special Meeting and plan to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform, you will be provided with explicit instructions on how to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record and you have the right to vote in person via the virtual meeting platform at the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares or, if you wish to attend the Special Meeting and vote in person via the virtual meeting platform, you will need to contact your broker, bank or nominee to obtain a legal proxy that will authorize you to vote these shares. For additional information, please see the section titled “Special Meeting of Stockholders.”

9

If you do not provide instructions to vote at the Special Meeting with your proxy, your broker, bank, or other nominee may deliver a Company stockholder proxy card expressly indicating that it is NOT voting your shares; this indication that a broker, bank, or nominee is not voting your shares is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will not be counted for the purposes of determining the existence of a quorum or for purposes of determining the number of votes cast at the Stockholder Special Meeting. Your bank, broker, or other nominee can vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should instruct your broker to vote your shares in accordance with directions you provide.

10

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Charter Amendment Proposal is approved, the Company will be obligated to redeem all Public Shares as promptly as reasonably possible after the Amended Termination Date. Therefore, no action is required on your part in order to redeem your shares. As a result of approving the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, your shares will be automatically redeemed as part of the Mandatory Redemption at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of the Amended Termination Date, divided by the number of the issued and outstanding Public Shares. As of the close of business on the Amended Termination Date, all remaining issued and outstanding Public Shares will be deemed cancelled and will represent only the right to receive the redemption amount. The redemption amount will be payable to the holders of these remaining Public Shares upon presentation of their respective stock certificates (if any) and other redemption forms or other delivery of their shares to the Transfer Agent. Beneficial owners of such Public Shares held in “street name,” however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the Redemption Amount. Upon the completion of the Mandatory Redemption, the Public Stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any) will be extinguished.

If the Charter Amendment Proposal and/or the Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved, the Company will not redeem any Public Shares unless the Company is unable to consummate a Business Combination by or before the Original Termination Date.

RISK FACTORS

A new 1% U.S. federal excise tax could be imposed on us in connection with redemptions by us of our shares.

On August 16, 2022, the IRA was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases (including redemptions) of stock by publicly traded domestic (i.e., U.S.) corporations and certain domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations. 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 (the “Treasury”) has been given authority to provide regulations and other guidance to carry out, and prevent the abuse or avoidance of the Excise Tax. The IRA applies only to repurchases that occur after December 31, 2022. In the event the Charter Amendment Proposal and Trust Amendment Proposal are not approved or implemented, any redemption or other repurchase that occurs after December 31, 2022, in connection with a business combination or otherwise may be subject to the Excise Tax.

The Proposals at the Special Meeting

At the Special Meeting, the Company’s stockholders will vote on the following proposals:

Proposal No. 1 — Charter Amendment Proposal — To amend the Company’s Charter by adopting the Charter Amendment in the form set forth in Annex A of this proxy statement to change the date by which the Company must cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up if it fails to complete a Business Combination, from the Original Termination Date to the Amended Termination Date;

THE BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE

“FOR” EACH OF THESE PROPOSALS

Voting Power; Record Date

As a stockholder of the Company, you have a right to vote on certain matters affecting the Company. The proposals that will be presented at the Special Meeting and upon which you are being asked to vote are summarized above and fully set forth in this proxy statement. You will be entitled to vote or direct votes to be cast at the Special Meeting if you owned shares of Common Stock at the close of business on November 22, 2022, which is the Record Date for the Special Meeting. You are entitled to one vote for each share of Common

14

Stock that you owned as of 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 bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. On the Record Date, there were 34,375,000 issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, of which 27,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock are held by the Public Stockholders and 6,875,000 shares of Class F Common Stock are held by the Initial Stockholders.

Vote of the Company’s Initial Stockholders

On the Record Date, the Initial Stockholders owned and were entitled to vote an aggregate of 6,875,000 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and plan to vote in favor of each of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and, if presented, the Adjournment Proposal.

Quorum

The presence, in person virtually or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting constitutes a quorum at the Special Meeting. Abstentions will be considered present for the purposes of establishing a quorum. The Initial Stockholders, who own approximately 20% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date, will count towards this quorum. As a result, as of the Record Date, in addition to the shares of the Initial Stockholders, an additional 10,312,501 shares of Common Stock held by the Public Stockholders would be required to be present at the Special Meeting to achieve a quorum.

Vote Required for Approval

The approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of all then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting as a single class.

The approval of the Trust Amendment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 65% of all then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting as a single class.

The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of all then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class F Common Stock, voting as a single class, who are present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon at the Special Meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions will be counted in connection with the determination of whether a valid quorum is established. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” each of the Charter Amendment Proposal and the Trust Amendment Proposal, but will not have any effect on the outcome of the Adjournment Proposal.

Under Nasdaq’s rules, if a stockholder holds their shares in “street” name through a bank, broker or other nominee and the stockholder does not instruct their bank, broker or other nominee how to vote their shares on a proposal, the bank, broker or other nominee has the authority to vote the shares in its discretion on certain “routine” matters. However, banks, brokers and other nominees are not authorized to exercise their voting discretion on any “non-routine” matters. This can result in a “broker non-vote,” which occurs on a proposal when (i) a bank, broker or other nominee has discretionary authority to vote on one or more “routine” proposals to be voted on at a meeting of stockholder, (ii) there are one or more “non-routine” proposals to be voted on at the meeting for which the bank, broker or other nominee does not have authority to vote without instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares and (iii) the beneficial owner fails to provide the bank, broker or other nominee with voting instructions on a “non-routine” matter.

15

We believe that all of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting will be considered non-routine matters. As a result, if you hold your shares in street name, your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee cannot vote the shares you beneficially own on any of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting without your instruction.

Because all of the proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting are “non-routine” matters, banks, brokers and other nominees will not have authority to vote on any proposals unless instructed, so we do not expect there to be any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting.

Voting Your Shares

If you are a Company stockholder of record, you may vote by mail or you can attend the Special Meeting in person via the virtual meeting platform and vote during the meeting by following the instructions on your Company stockholder proxy card. Each share of Common Stock that you own in your name entitles you to one vote on each of the proposals for the Special Meeting. Your one or more Company stockholder proxy cards show the number of shares of Common Stock that you own.

There are two ways to vote your shares of Common Stock at the Special Meeting:

Voting by Mail. You can vote your shares by completing, signing, dating and returning the enclosed Company stockholder proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided. By signing the Company stockholder proxy card and returning it in the enclosed prepaid and addressed envelope, you are authorizing the individuals named on the Company stockholder proxy card to vote your shares at the Special Meeting in the manner you indicate. You are encouraged to sign and return the Company stockholder proxy card even if you plan to attend the Special Meeting so that your shares will be voted if you are unable to attend the Special Meeting. If you receive more than one Company stockholder proxy card, it is an indication that your shares are held in multiple accounts. Please sign and return all Company stockholder proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted. If you hold your shares in “street name” through a bank, broker or other nominee, you will need to follow the instructions provided to you by your bank, broker or other nominee to ensure that your shares are represented and voted at the Special Meeting. If you sign and return the Company stockholder proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares of Common Stock will be voted as recommended by the Board. The Board unanimously recommends voting “FOR” the Charter Amendment Proposal, “FOR” the Trust Amendment Proposal and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal. Votes submitted by mail must be received by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on [●], 2022.

Voting via the Virtual Meeting Platform. You can attend the Stockholder Special Meeting in person via the virtual meeting platform and vote during the meeting by following the instructions on your Company stockholder proxy card. You can access the Special Meeting by visiting the website www.meetnow.global/M6L2C9S. You will need your control number for access. If you are a beneficial holder and do not have a control number, please contact your broker, bank or nominee. If you hold your shares in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly counted. In this regard, you must provide the record holder of your shares with instructions on how to vote your shares. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or other nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way the Company can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares of Common Stock.

Voting Your Shares — Beneficial Owners. If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank or other nominee, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and this proxy statement/prospectus is being sent to you by that broker, bank or other nominee. The broker, bank or other nominee holding your account is considered to be the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Special Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee

16

regarding how to vote the shares in your account by following the instructions that the broker, bank or other nominee provides you along with this proxy statement/prospectus. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. Please see the section titled “Special Meeting of Stockholders—Attending the Special Meeting.”

Attending the Stockholder Special Meeting

Only Company stockholders on the Record Date or their legal proxyholders may attend and participate at the Special Meeting. Please note that you will only be able to access the Special Meeting by means of remote communication. Please have your Control Number, which can be found on your Company stockholder proxy card, to join the special meeting. If you are a registered holder and do not have a control number, please contact Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the Transfer Agent. If you are a beneficial holder and do not have a control number, please contact your broker, bank or nominee.

The virtual meeting platform is fully supported across browsers (MS Edge, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) and devices (desktops, laptops, tablets and cell phones) running the most up-to-date version of applicable software and plugins. Participants should ensure that they have a strong WiFi connection wherever they intend to participate in the meeting. You are encouraged to access the meeting prior to the start time. For further assistance, should you need it, please call 1-888-724-2416.

Revoking Your Proxy

If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before the Special Meeting or at the Special Meeting by doing any one of the following:

No Additional Matters

The Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Charter Amendment Proposal, the Trust Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under the Company’s current bylaws, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Special Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in this proxy statement, which serves as the notice of the Special Meeting.
