by which Global Partner must complete an initial business combination to April
14, 2023 (the "Articles Extension Date") and to allow Global Partner, without
the need for another shareholder vote, to elect to extend the Termination Date
to consummate a business combination on a monthly basis, for up to nine times,
by an additional one month each time, after the Articles Extension Date, by

Proxy Statement was mailed to Global Partner shareholders of record as of
December 16, 2022. Shareholders may obtain a copy of the Extension Proxy
Statement at the SEC's website (www.sec.gov).
