WHEREAS, in order to finance the Company’s transaction costs in connection with an intended initial Business Combination (as defined in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association), the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan to the Company funds as the Company may require, of which up to $1,500,000 may be converted into up to an additional 150,000 private units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, and in connection therewith, the Company will issue and deliver up to an aggregate of 150,000 rights as part of such private units (the “Working Capital Rights”);

WHEREAS, the Company has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (a) a registration statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-292967) and (b) a registration statement on Form S-1 (collectively, the “Registration Statement”), and the prospectus forming a part thereof (collectively, the “Prospectus”), for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of the Units, the Public Rights, and the Ordinary Shares issuable to the holders of the Units and the Public Rights and which Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC;
WHEREAS, the Company desires the Rights Agent to act on behalf of the Company, and the Rights Agent is willing to so act, in connection with the issuance, registration, transfer and exchange of the Rights;

WHEREAS, all acts and things have been done and performed which are necessary to make the Rights, when executed on behalf of the Company and countersigned by or on behalf of the Rights Agent (if a physical certificate is issued), as provided herein, the valid, binding and legal obligations of the Company, and to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
| 1. | APPOINTMENT OF RIGHTS AGENT |
The Company hereby appoints the Rights Agent to act as agent for the Company for the Rights, and the Rights Agent hereby accepts such appointment and agrees to perform the same in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
| 2. | RIGHTS |
2.1 Form of Right
Each Right shall initially be issued in registered form only, and, if a physical certificate is issued, shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, the provisions of which are incorporated herein and shall be signed by, or bear the electronic (including by DocuSign) or facsimile signature of, any director or officer of the Company. In the event the person whose electronic or facsimile signature has been placed upon any Right shall have ceased to serve in the capacity in which such person signed the Right before such Right is issued, it may be issued with the same effect as if he or she had not ceased to be such at the date of issuance.
2.2 Effect of Countersignature
Except with respect to uncertificated Rights as described above, unless and until countersigned by the Rights Agent pursuant to this Agreement, a Right shall be invalid and of no effect and may not be exchanged for Ordinary Shares.
2.3 Registration
2.3.1 Right Register
The Rights Agent shall maintain books (“Right Register”) for the registration of original issuance and the registration of transfer of the Rights. Upon the initial issuance of the Rights, the Rights Agent shall issue and register the Rights in the names of the respective holders thereof in such denominations and otherwise in accordance with instructions delivered to the Rights Agent by the Company.
2.3.2 Registered Holder
Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Right, the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name such Right shall be registered upon the Right Register (such person, a “Registered Holder”) as the absolute owner of such Right and of each Right represented thereby (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing on the rights certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent), for the purpose of the exchange thereof, and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
2.4 Detachability of Rights
The securities comprising the Units, including the Rights, will begin to trade separately on (i) the first trading day following the 52nd day after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or (ii) such earlier date as the Underwriter shall determine is acceptable. In no event will separate trading of the securities comprising the Units commence until the Company (i) files a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC which includes an audited balance sheet reflecting the Company’s receipt of the gross proceeds of the Public Offering and (ii) issues a press release announcing when such separate trading will begin.
| 3. | TERMS AND EXCHANGE OF RIGHTS |
3.1 Rights
Except in cases where the Company is not the surviving entity after the occurrence of an Exchange Event, each holder of a Right shall automatically receive one-fifth (1/5) of one Ordinary Share upon consummation of an Exchange Event. Subject to Section 3.3.4, in the event the Company is not the surviving entity immediately following the Exchange Event, each holder of a Right shall be entitled to automatically receive the kind and amount of securities or properties of the surviving entity as the holders of each one-fifth (1/5) of one Ordinary Share is entitled to receive in such Exchange Event. No additional consideration shall be paid by a holder of Rights in order to receive his, her or its Ordinary Shares upon an Exchange Event, as the purchase price for such Ordinary Shares has been included in the purchase price for the Units. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Rights or issue fractional Ordinary Shares. The provisions of this Section 3.1 may not be modified, amended or deleted without the prior written consent of the Underwriter.
3.2 Exchange Event
An “Exchange Event” shall be deemed to occur automatically upon the Company’s consummation of an initial Business Combination (as defined in the Company’s amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (as may be amended, restated, or amended and restated from time to time (the “Articles”)).
3.3 Exchange of Rights
3.3.1 Issuance of Certificates
As soon as practicable upon the occurrence of an Exchange Event, the Company shall direct holders of the Rights to return their rights certificates (physically or electronically) to the Rights Agent, subject to dissenter rights to the extent provided by applicable law, if any, in the event that the Company is not the surviving entity in a Business Combination. Upon receipt of a valid rights certificate (physically or electronically), the Company shall make (or cause to be made) entries in its Register of Members of the Company and issue to the Registered Holder of such Right(s) a certificate or certificates, or book-entry position, for the number of full Ordinary Shares to which he, she or it is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him, her or it; provided that in the event that the Company is not the surviving entity following the Exchange Event, the Company shall notify the registered holders of Rights at least two business days prior to the occurrence of the Exchange Event and the registered holders of Rights shall have the right to receive the kind and amount of securities or properties of the surviving entity pursuant to Section 3.3.4 of this Agreement provided that they elect to such conversion, unless such requirement is otherwise waived by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, or any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Share Rights. The Company shall not issue fractional shares upon exchange of Rights. At the time of an Exchange Event, the Company will instruct the Rights Agent to round down to the nearest whole Ordinary Share.
3.3.2 Valid Issuance
All Ordinary Shares issued upon an Exchange Event in conformity with this Agreement and the Articles, shall, upon registration in the register of members of the Company, be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
3.3.3 Date of Issuance
Each person in whose name any book-entry position or certificate for Ordinary Shares is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such Ordinary Shares on the date that the person’s name is entered in the register of members of the Company, which shall be the date of the Exchange Event, irrespective of the date of delivery of such certificate.
3.3.4 Company Not Surviving Following Exchange Event
Upon an Exchange Event in which the Company does not continue as the surviving entity, each holder of a Right will receive the one-fifth (1/5) of an Ordinary Share underlying each Right (without paying any additional consideration) upon consummation of the Exchange Event. Each holder of a Right will convert the Rights into the underlying Ordinary Shares as well as to return the original certificates (if in certificated form) evidencing the Rights to the Company.
3.4 Duration of Rights
If an Exchange Event does not occur within the time period set forth in the Articles, as the same may be amended from time to time, the Rights shall expire and shall be worthless.
| 4. | TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF RIGHTS |
4.1 Registration of Transfer
The Rights Agent shall register the transfer, from time to time, of any outstanding Right upon the Right Register, upon surrender of such Right for transfer, properly endorsed with signatures properly guaranteed and accompanied by appropriate instructions for transfer. Upon any such transfer, a new Right representing an equal aggregate number of Rights shall be issued and the old Right shall be cancelled by the Rights Agent. The Rights so cancelled shall be retained by the Rights Agent for its record.
4.2 Procedure for Surrender of Rights
Rights may be surrendered to the Rights Agent, together with a written request for exchange or transfer, and thereupon the Rights Agent shall issue in exchange therefor one or more new Rights, or book-entry positions, as requested by the Registered Holder of the Rights so surrendered, representing an equal aggregate number of Rights; provided, however, that in the event that a Right surrendered for transfer bears a restrictive legend, the Rights Agent shall not cancel such Right and issue new Rights in exchange therefor until the Rights Agent has received an opinion of counsel for the Company stating that such transfer may be made and indicating whether the new Rights must also bear a restrictive legend.
4.3 Fractional Rights
The Rights Agent shall not be required to effect any registration of transfer or exchange which will result in the issuance of a rights certificate or book-entry position for a fraction of a Right. Fractional shares will either be rounded down to the nearest whole number or otherwise addressed in accordance with Cayman Islands law and the Articles.
4.4 Service Charges
The Company agrees to pay the Rights Agent reasonable remuneration for the registration and transfer of Rights in accordance with a fee schedule to be mutually agreed upon and will reimburse the Rights Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Rights Agent may reasonably incur in connection therewith.
4.5 Right Execution and Countersignature
The Rights Agent is hereby authorized to countersign and to deliver, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Rights required to be issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4, and the Company, whenever required by the Rights Agent, will supply the Rights Agent with Rights duly executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.
| 5. | OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF RIGHTS |
5.1 No Rights as Shareholder
Until exchange of a Right for Ordinary Shares as provided for herein, a Right does not entitle the Registered Holder thereof to any of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as shareholders in respect of the general meetings of the Company or the appointment of directors of the Company or any other matter.
5.2 Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Rights
If any Right is lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed, the Company and the Rights Agent may on such terms as to indemnity or otherwise as they may in their discretion impose (which shall, in the case of a mutilated Right, include the surrender thereof), issue a new Right of like denomination, tenor, and date as the Right so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed. Any such new Right shall constitute a substitute contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Right shall be at any time enforceable by anyone.
5.3 Reservation of Ordinary Shares
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available a number of its authorized but unissued Ordinary Shares that will be sufficient to permit the exchange of all outstanding Rights issued pursuant to this Agreement.
5.4 Adjustments to Conversion Ratios
The number of Ordinary Shares that the holders of Rights are entitled to receive as a result of the occurrence of an Exchange Event shall be equitably adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any share subdivision, share dividend, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, consolidation, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the Ordinary Shares occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to the Exchange Event.
| 6. | CONCERNING THE RIGHTS AGENT AND OTHER MATTERS |
6.1 Payment of Taxes
The Company will from time to time promptly pay all taxes and charges that may be imposed upon the Company or the Rights Agent in respect of the issuance or delivery of Ordinary Shares upon the exchange of Rights, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes in respect of the Rights or such Ordinary Shares.
6.2 Resignation, Consolidation, or Merger of Rights Agent
6.2.1 Appointment of Successor Rights Agent
The Rights Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder after giving sixty (60) days’ notice in writing to the Company. If the office of the Rights Agent becomes vacant by resignation, removal or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint in writing a successor Rights Agent in place of the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 30 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation, removal or incapacity by the Rights Agent or by the holder of the Right (who shall, with such notice, submit his, her or its Right for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Right may apply to the Supreme Court of the State of New York for the County of New York for the appointment of a successor Rights Agent at the Company’s cost. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such court, shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, or any state thereunder, in good standing and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authority. After appointment, any successor Rights Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations of its predecessor Rights Agent with like effect as if originally named as Rights Agent hereunder, without any further act or deed; but if for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Rights Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Rights Agent all the authority, powers, and rights of such predecessor Rights Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Rights Agent the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver any and all instruments in writing for more fully and effectually vesting in and confirming to such successor Rights Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties, and obligations.
6.2.2 Notice of Successor Rights Agent
In the event a successor Rights Agent shall be appointed, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Rights Agent and the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares not later than the effective date of any such appointment.
6.2.3 Merger or Consolidation of Rights Agent
Any entity into which the Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated or any entity resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent shall be a party shall be the successor Rights Agent under this Agreement without any further act.
6.3 Fees and Expenses of Rights Agent
6.3.1 Remuneration
The Company agrees to pay the Rights Agent reasonable remuneration for its services as such Rights Agent hereunder in accordance with a fee schedule to be mutually agreed upon and will reimburse the Rights Agent upon demand for all expenditures that the Rights Agent may reasonably incur in the execution of its duties hereunder.
6.3.2 Further Assurances
The Company agrees to perform, execute, acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement.
6.4 Liability of Rights Agent
6.4.1 Reliance on Company Statement
Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a statement signed by a director or officer of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent may rely upon such statement for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
6.4.2 Indemnity
The Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder only for its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, or material breach of this Agreement (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction). Subject to Section 6.6 below, the Company agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent and save it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted by the Rights Agent in the execution of this Agreement, except as a result of the Rights Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, or material breach of this Agreement (each as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).
6.4.3 Exclusions
The Rights Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the validity of this Agreement or with respect to the validity or execution of any Right (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Right; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Ordinary Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Right or as to whether any Ordinary Shares will when issued be valid and fully paid and nonassessable.
6.5 Acceptance of Agency
The Rights Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.
6.6 Waiver
The Rights Agent hereby waives any right of set-off or any other right, title, interest or claim of any kind (“Claim”) in, or to any distribution of, the Trust Account (as defined in that certain Investment Management Trust Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Company and the Rights Agent as trustee thereunder) and hereby agrees not to seek recourse, reimbursement, payment or satisfaction for any Claim against the Trust Account for any reason whatsoever.

| Re: | Registration Statement on Form S-1 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to ClearThink 1 Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing of that certain (a) Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (the “Prior Registration Statement”), originally filed on January 26, 2026 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and (b) Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “462(b) Registration Statement” and, with the Prior Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”), in each case under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with respect to an underwritten public offering of (i) 15,000,000 units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of one of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”) and one right to receive one-fifth of an Ordinary Share (the “Rights”); (ii) up to 2,250,000 Units (the “Over-Allotment Units”) for which the underwriter has been granted an over-allotment option, (iii) all Ordinary Shares and Rights issued as part of the Units and Over-Allotment Units; and (iv) all Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of the Rights included in the Units and Over-Allotment Units. The Units and the Over-Allotment Units are referred to herein as the “Registered Securities.” We understand that the Units and Over-Allotment Units are proposed to be sold for sale to the public as described in the Registration Statements and pursuant to an underwriting agreement, substantially in the form filed as an exhibit to the Prior Registration Statement, to be entered into by the Company and the underwriter (the “Underwriting Agreement”).
As counsel to the Company, we have examined the originals or copies of such documents, corporate records and other instruments and undertaken such further inquiry as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion, including, but not limited to, the Registration Statement, corporate resolutions authorizing the issuance of the Units and Over-Allotment Units and the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association of the Company, including amendments thereto. In such examination, we have assumed the following: (a) the authenticity of original documents and the genuineness of all signatures; (b) the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us; (c) the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; (d) the genuineness of all signatures contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed; and (e) the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information, representations and warranties contained in the records, documents, instruments and certificates we have reviewed. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth hereinafter, we are of the opinion that each of the Rights (including the Rights issuable in connection with the Over-Allotment Units), the Units and the Over-Allotment Units, if and when paid for in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.
February 23, 2026

The opinion set forth above, is subject to (i) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws) and (ii) the effect of general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of (i) provisions that relate to choice of law, forum selection or submission to jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any express or implied waiver of any objection to venue in any court or of any objection that a court is an inconvenient forum) to the extent that the validity, binding effect or enforceability of any such provision is to be determined by any court other than a state court of the State of New York or (ii) waivers by the Company of any statutory or constitutional rights or remedies. We draw your attention to the fact that, under certain circumstances, the enforceability of terms to the effect that provisions may not be waived or modified except in writing may be limited.
In rendering the foregoing opinion, we have assumed that: (i) the Registration Statement, and any amendments thereto, shall have become effective under the Securities Act and will remain effective at the time of issuance of the Registered Securities thereunder; (ii) the Company will issue and deliver the Registered Securities in the manner contemplated by the final prospectus; and (iii) all such securities will be issued in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. To the extent the obligations of the Company with respect to the Registered Securities may be dependent upon such matters, we also assume for purposes of this letter that the other party under the Underwriting Agreement, is duly authorized validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; that such party is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement; that such Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the other party and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the other party enforceable against the other party in accordance with its terms; that such other party is in compliance with respect to performance of its obligations under such Underwriting Agreement with all applicable laws and regulations; and such other party has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement.
The information set forth herein is as of the date hereof. We assume no obligation to advise you of changes that may hereafter be brought to our attention. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we neither express nor imply any opinion regarding (a) the contents of the Registration Statements or the related prospectus, or (b) the Ordinary Shares that make up a portion of the Registered Securities or that underly the Rights, in either case other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the Registered Securities to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement. We are members of the Bar of the State of New York. We do not express any opinion concerning the laws of any jurisdiction other than (i) the State of New York and (ii) the Federal laws of the United States. Our opinion is based on statutory laws and judicial decisions that are in effect on the date hereof, and we do not opine with respect to any law, regulation, rule or governmental policy that may be enacted or adopted after the date hereof, nor do we assume any responsibility to advise you of future changes in our opinion. We do not express an opinion on any matters other than those expressly set forth in this letter.
No opinion is expressed herein with respect to the qualification of the Registered Securities under the securities or blue sky laws of any state or any foreign jurisdiction. In particular, we do not purport to pass on any matter governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands.
We hereby consent to the use and filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the 462(b) Registration Statement as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to the reference to our firm under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus and the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder.

Schedule 3
Qualifications
Good Standing
| 1 | Under the Companies Act (Revised) of the Cayman Islands (Companies Act) annual returns in respect of the Company must be filed with the Registrar, together with payment of annual filing fees. A failure to file annual returns and pay annual filing fees may result in the Company being struck off the Register of Companies, following which its assets will vest in the Financial Secretary of the Cayman Islands and will be subject to disposition or retention for the benefit of the public of the Cayman Islands. |
| 2 | In good standing means only that as of the date of the Good Standing Certificate the Company is up-to-date with the filing of its annual returns and payment of annual fees with the Registrar. We have made no enquiries into the Company’s good standing with respect to any filings or payment of fees, or both, that it may be required to make under the laws of the Cayman Islands other than the Companies Act. |
Limited Liability
| 3 | We are not aware of any Cayman Islands authority as to when the courts would set aside the limited liability of a shareholder in a Cayman Islands company. Our opinion on the subject is based on the Companies Act and English common law authorities, the latter of which are persuasive but not binding in the courts of the Cayman Islands. Under English authorities, circumstances in which a court would attribute personal liability to a shareholder are very limited, and include: (a) such shareholder expressly assuming direct liability (such as a guarantee); (b) the company acting as the agent of such shareholder; and (c) the company being incorporated by or at the behest of such shareholder for the purpose of committing or furthering such shareholder’s fraud, or for a sham transaction otherwise carried out by such shareholder. In the absence of these circumstances, we are of the opinion that a Cayman Islands’ court would have no grounds to set aside the limited liability of a shareholder. |
Non-Assessable
| 4 | In this opinion, the phrase “non-assessable” means, with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares in the Company, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional assessments or calls on the Class A Ordinary Shares by the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstance in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift the corporate veil). |
Register of Writs
| 5 | Our examination of the Register of Writs cannot conclusively reveal whether or not there is: |
| (a) | any current or pending litigation in the Cayman Islands against the Company; or | |
| (b) | any application for the winding up or dissolution of the Company or the appointment of any liquidator, trustee in bankruptcy or restructuring officer in respect of the Company or any of its assets, |
as notice of these matters might not be entered on the Register of Writs immediately or updated expeditiously or the court file associated with the matter or the matter itself may not be publicly available (for example, due to sealing orders having been made). Furthermore, we have not conducted a search of the summary court. Claims in the summary court are limited to a maximum of CI $20,000.
