6 Page 6 UNIQUE SOURCING OPPORTUNITIES Axar Capital’s core public securities investment strategy generates substantial private market / whole company investment opportun it ies where the SPAC could be an attractive partner OUT OF COURT RESCUE FINANCINGS Private companies with over levered capital structures and inability to raise additional private equity (often due to vintage of the PE fund or damaged sponsors) Axar has substantial pipeline of opportunities where a SPAC transaction allows the seller to participate in future upside while bridging a near - term liquidity gap; Axar has invested in many bankruptcies where the filing was avoidable if a SPAC solution would have been available Natural fit with Axar’s core distressed debt investing strategy (many current opportunities in energy and materials sectors) POST REORGANIZATION (CH 11) LIQUIDITY SOLUTIONS Companies that have completed a Ch 11 restructuring where a concentrated holder base of the pre - petition lenders owns illiquid post reorganization equity SPAC provides fast, low risk path to the public markets and allows interested investors to immediately buy upon deal announcement Axar has seen several “active” situations where companies have public market aspirations, but struggling to access a traditional IPO SPAC’s ability to disclose forward projections and valuation views provides unique public market opportunity not accessible during traditional IPO process OTHER PRIVATE OPPORTUNITIES Axar along with SPAC Board of Directors and CIO have substantial relationships and pipeline of private opportunities Axar’s new sponsorship allows the SPAC to reinvigorate a substantial potential pipeline of actionable opportunities generated from previous AUMA activities
