The revenue targets will be measured yearly for five years following Closing, with no catch-up between the years. In connection with the Closing, each share of the Company’s Common Stock (“Quantum Common Stock” or “Public Shares”) that was outstanding and had not been redeemed was converted into one share of Common Stock. Each outstanding public warrant to purchase Quantum Common Stock became a warrant to purchase one-half of a share of Common Stock.

AtlasClear Holdings’ warrants commenced trading on the over-the-counter market (the “OTC”) under the symbol “ATCH WS” on February 12, 2024. Amendments to Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement Prior to the Closing, AtlasClear and the Company entered into two amendments to the Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement with Wilson-Davis and the then-owners of Wilson-Davis (the “Wilson-Davis Sellers”), Amendment No. 8 dated January 9, 2024 (“Amendment No. 8”) and Amendment No. 9 dated February 7, 2024 (“Amendment No. 9” and, together with Amendment No. 8, the “Amendments”). Among other things, the Amendments reduced the total purchase price payable under the Broker- Dealer Acquisition Agreement by $5 million and reduced the cash payable at the Wilson-Davis Closing as part of the purchase price to $8 million, with the balance of the purchase price paid in the form of convertible promissory notes issued by AtlasClear to the Wilson-Davis Sellers, as follows: (i) $5,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes due 90 days after the Closing Date (the “Short-Term Notes”) and (ii) $7,971,000 in aggregate principal amount of notes due 24 months after the Closing Date (the “Long-Term Notes” and, together with the Short-Term Notes, the “Seller Notes”). The Short-Term Notes accrue interest at a rate of 9% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, in shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to payment (or, at the Company’s option, cash), and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time during the continuance of an event of default, at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to conversion. The Long-Term Notes accrue interest at a rate of 13% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears, in shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to payment (or, at the Company’s option, in cash), and are convertible at the option of the holder at any time commencing six months after the Closing Date, at a rate equal to 90% of the trailing seven-trading day VWAP prior to conversion (or 85% if an event of default occurs and is continuing). Pursuant to the terms of the Amendments, at the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Broker-Dealer Acquisition Agreement (the “Wilson-Davis Closing”) the Company entered into a parent guaranty and registration rights agreement with the Wilson-Davis Sellers (the “Wilson-Davis Guaranty and RRA”), pursuant to which the Company guaranteed the obligations of AtlasClear under the Notes. The Company also agreed (i) to file, within 30 days of the Closing Date, a registration statement with the SEC, registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and (ii) if necessary to allow any of the Notes to be converted into shares of Common Stock in accordance with the rules of the NYSE, to seek stockholder approval for the issuance of such shares, including by filing a proxy statement by no later than April 30, 2024. The Sponsor also entered into Amendment No. 9, for the limited purpose of agreeing to transfer certain Founder Shares owned by the Sponsor to the Wilson-Davis Sellers. The Sponsor agreed to transfer to the Wilson-Davis Sellers, at the Wilson-Davis Closing, Founder Shares having an aggregate value of $6 million, based on the VWAP of Quantum Common Stock for the five trading days immediately prior to the Wilson-Davis Closing, which resulted in the transfer of an aggregate of 885,010 Founder Shares at the Closing. From time to time prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing, the Sponsor may be required to transfer additional Founder Shares to the Wilson-Davis Sellers, as set forth in Amendment No. 9, provided that in no event will the Sponsor be required to transfer more than an aggregate of 2,500,000 Founder Shares (including the Founder Shares transferred at the Closing). Convertible Note Financing On February 9, 2024, the WDCO and Quantum entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Funicular Funds, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Funicular”), pursuant to which the Company sold and issued to Funicular, on that date, a secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $6,000,000 (the “Funicular Note”) for a purchase price of $6,000,000, in a private placement (the “Note Financing”). The proceeds raised in the Note Financing were used to pay a portion of the purchase price paid at Closing to the Wilson-Davis Sellers. The Funicular Note has a stated maturity date of November 9, 2025. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 12.5%, and is payable semi-annually on each June 30 and December 31. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall, at the election of the Company in its sole discretion, be either paid in cash or paid in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Funicular Note. In the event of an Event of Default (as defined in the Funicular Note), in addition to Funicular’s other rights and remedies, the interest rate would increase to 20% per annum. The Funicular Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at an initial conversion price of $10.00 per share (the “Conversion Price”). The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment monthly to a price equal to the trailing five-day VWAP, subject to a floor of $2.00 per share (provided that if the Company sells stock at an effective price below $2.00 per share, such floor would be reduced to such effective price), and is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like. The Company has the right to redeem the Funicular Note upon 30 days’ notice after the earlier of August 7, 2024 and the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (as defined in the Funicular Note), and Funicular would have the right to require the Company to redeem the Note in connection with a Change of Control (as defined in the Note), in each case for a price equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Funicular Note contains covenants which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens and sell its assets or properties. The Funicular Note is secured by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Company and each Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement, as defined below), including a pledge of all of the capital stock of each of the Grantors, subject to certain exceptions, as evidenced by (i) a security agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”), entered into among the Company, each of the Company’s subsidiaries and Funicular, and (ii) a guaranty, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Guaranty”), executed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to which each of them has agreed to guaranty the obligations of the Company under the Funicular Note and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Funicular Note). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, that if the Funicular Note becomes convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, to seek the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Funicular Note in excess of that amount, in accordance with the rules of the NYSE American. Also pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing the Sponsor transferred 600,000 Founder Shares and 600,000 private placement warrants to Funicular, which transfers terminated Quantum’s obligation to issue shares to Funicular pursuant to the terms of the non-redemption agreement, dated August 1, 2023, between Quantum and Funicular and previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus. In connection with the Note Financing, on February 9, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Funicular (the “Funicular Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within 15 days after the Closing Date a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Funicular Note (the “Funicular Registration Statement”), and the Company agreed to use its best efforts to have the Funicular Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably possible after the filing thereof, but in any event within 60 days of the Closing Date. If the registration statement is not filed within 30 days after the Closing or is not declared effective by the applicable deadline set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or under certain other circumstances described in the Registration Rights Agreement, then the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Buyer an amount in cash equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Note on a monthly basis until the applicable event giving rise to such payments is cured. The Funicular Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company is obligated to file additional registration statements under certain circumstances, and provides Funicular with customary “piggyback” registration rights. Expense Settlements In connection with the Closing, the Company and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) agreed that the fee, in the amount of $7,043,750, payable by the Company to Chardan upon the Closing pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement entered into in connection with Quantum’s initial public offering, would be waived in exchange for the issuance by the Company to Chardan of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,150,000. Such note (the “Chardan Note”) was issued by the Company at the Closing. The Chardan Note has a stated maturity date of February 9, 2028. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 13%, and is payable quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall, at the election of the Company, be either paid in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock, at a rate equal to 85% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date. The Chardan Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at a conversion price equal to 90% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. In addition, on each conversion date the Company is required to pay to Chardan in cash (or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, a combination of cash and Common Stock) all accrued interest on the Chardan Note and all interest that would otherwise accrue on the amount of the Note being converted if such converted amount would be held to three years after the applicable conversion date. Conversion of the Chardan Note, including the issuance of shares to pay interest thereon, is limited to the extent that such conversion would result in Chardan (together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with Chardan or its affiliates) beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such conversion. The conversion price applicable to the Chardan Note is subject to adjustment is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and is subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). The Chardan Note is subject to a demand for immediate repayment in cash upon the occurrence of certain events of default specified therein. Also on February 9, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Chardan (the “Chardan Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days after the Closing Date a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Chardan Note and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible after filing. If the registration statement is not filed within 45 days after the Closing or is not effective within a specified period after the Closing (or if effectiveness is subsequently suspended or terminated for at least 15 days, subject to certain exceptions), then the interest rate of the Chardan Note will increase by 2% for each week that such event continues. The Chardan Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company is obligated to file additional registration statements under certain circumstances, and provides Chardan with customary “piggyback” registration rights. Also in connection with the Closing, the Company agreed to settle certain accrued expenses and other obligations to certain parties through the issuance of shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to such arrangements, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,201,010 shares of Common Stock in settlement of obligations in the aggregate amount of $5,448,933, including the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Qvent, LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, in settlement of an aggregate of $4,633,833 advanced to Quantum through the Closing Date. Indemnification Agreements On the Closing Date, in connection with the Closing, the Company entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and executive officers, which provide for indemnification and advancements by the Company of certain expenses and costs under certain circumstances. The indemnification agreements provide that AtlasClear Holdings will indemnify each of its directors and executive officers against any and all expenses incurred by that director or executive officer because of his or her status as a director or officer of AtlasClear Holdings, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, the Amended and Restated Charter (as defined below) and the Amended and Restated Bylaws (as defined below). Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement On the Closing Date, the Company, AtlasClear Holdings and CST entered into that certain Assignment, Assumption and Amendment Agreement (the “New Warrant Agreement”).

The Funicular Note contains covenants which, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, incur additional liens and sell its assets or properties.

The Funicular Note is secured by a perfected security interest in substantially all of the existing and future assets of the Company and each Grantor (as defined in the Security Agreement, as defined below), including a pledge of all of the capital stock of each of the Grantors, subject to certain exceptions, as evidenced by (i) a security agreement, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Security Agreement”), entered into among the Company, each of the Company’s subsidiaries and Funicular, and (ii) a guaranty, dated as of February 9, 2024 (the “Guaranty”), executed by each of the Company’s subsidiaries pursuant to which each of them has agreed to guaranty the obligations of the Company under the Funicular Note and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Funicular Note).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed, among other things, that if the Funicular Note becomes convertible into a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of 19.9% of the Company’s total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding, to seek the approval of its stockholders for the issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Funicular Note in excess of that amount, in accordance with the rules of the NYSE American. Also pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, at the Closing the Sponsor transferred 600,000 Founder Shares and 600,000 private placement warrants to Funicular, which transfers terminated Quantum’s obligation to issue shares to Funicular pursuant to the terms of the non-redemption agreement, dated August 1, 2023, between Quantum and Funicular and previously disclosed in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

In connection with the Note Financing, on February 9, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Funicular (the “Funicular Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within 15 days after the Closing Date a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Funicular Note (the “Funicular Registration Statement”), and the Company agreed to use its best efforts to have the Funicular Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as reasonably possible after the filing thereof, but in any event within 60 days of the Closing Date. If the registration statement is not filed within 30 days after the

Closing or is not declared effective by the applicable deadline set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement, or under certain other circumstances described in the Registration Rights Agreement, then the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Buyer an amount in cash equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Note on a monthly basis until the applicable event giving rise to such payments is cured. The Funicular Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company is obligated to file additional registration statements under certain circumstances, and provides Funicular with customary “piggyback” registration rights.

Expense Settlements

In connection with the Closing, the Company and Chardan Capital Markets LLC (“Chardan”) agreed that the fee, in the amount of $7,043,750, payable by the Company to Chardan upon the Closing pursuant to the terms of the business combination marketing agreement entered into in connection with Quantum’s initial public offering, would be waived in exchange for the issuance by the Company to Chardan of a convertible promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $4,150,000. Such note (the “Chardan Note”) was issued by the Company at the Closing.

The Chardan Note has a stated maturity date of February 9, 2028. Interest accrues at a rate per annum equal to 13%, and is payable quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter. On each interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest shall, at the election of the Company, be either paid in cash or, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, in shares of Common Stock, at a rate equal to 85% of the VWAP for the trading day immediately prior to the applicable interest payment date. The Chardan Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of Common Stock at the election of the holder at any time at a conversion price equal to 90% of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the trading day immediately preceding the applicable conversion date. In addition, on each conversion date the Company is required to pay to Chardan in cash (or, at the Company’s option and subject to certain conditions, a combination of cash and Common Stock) all accrued interest on the Chardan Note and all interest that would otherwise accrue on the amount of the Note being converted if such converted amount would be held to three years after the applicable conversion date. Conversion of the Chardan Note, including the issuance of shares to pay interest thereon, is limited to the extent that such conversion would result in Chardan (together with its affiliates and any other persons acting as a group together with Chardan or its affiliates) beneficially owning in excess of 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such conversion. The conversion price applicable to the Chardan Note is subject to adjustment is subject to customary adjustments for stock dividends, stock splits, reclassifications and the like, and is subject to price-based adjustment, on a “full ratchet” basis, in the event of any issuances of Common Stock, or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock at a price below the then-applicable conversion price (subject to certain exceptions). The Chardan Note is subject to a demand for immediate repayment in cash upon the occurrence of certain events of default specified therein.

Also on February 9, 2024, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Chardan (the “Chardan Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission within 45 days after the Closing Date a registration statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Chardan Note and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective as soon as possible after filing. If the registration statement is not filed within 45 days after the Closing or is not effective within a specified period after the Closing (or if effectiveness is subsequently suspended or terminated for at least 15 days, subject to certain exceptions), then the interest rate of the Chardan Note will increase by 2% for each week that such event continues. The Chardan Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the Company is obligated to file additional registration statements under certain circumstances, and provides Chardan with customary “piggyback” registration rights.

Also in connection with the Closing, the Company agreed to settle certain accrued expenses and other obligations to certain parties through the issuance of shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to such arrangements, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,201,010 shares of Common Stock in settlement of obligations in the aggregate amount of $5,448,933, including the issuance of 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock to Qvent, LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor, in settlement of an aggregate of $4,633,833 advanced to Quantum through the Closing Date.
