AMENDMENT TO THE

NON-REDEMPTION AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment to the Non-Redemption Agreement (this “Amendment”) is dated September 14, 2023, by and between BYTE Acquisition Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company (the “Company”) and the undersigned shareholder (the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder entered into that certain Non-Redemption Agreement dated as of March 8, 2023 (the “Original Agreement”), pursuant to which the Holder agreed to vote an aggregate of 1,000,000 of the Company’s Class A ordinary shares initially issued as part of the units sold by the Company in its initial public offering (“public shares”) held by it and/or its controlled affiliates (collectively, the “Holder’s Shares”) in favor of an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended, the “Charter”) to extend (the “First Extension”) the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from March 23, 2023 to September 25, 2023 (the “First Extended Date”) and not to exercise its Redemption Rights with respect to the Holder’s Shares in connection with the First Extension, and the Company agreed to pay to the Holder in cash $0.033 per Holder’s Share per month through the First Extended Date;

 

WHEREAS, the Company is seeking shareholder approval to further amend the Charter to extend (the “Second Extension”) the date by which the Company must consummate an initial business combination from September 25, 2023 to December 26, 2023 (the “Second Extended Date”) and to allow the Company, without another shareholder vote, by resolution of the Company’s board of directors, to elect to further extend such date by three months until March 26, 2024 (the “Third Extended Date”);

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 6(d) of the Original Agreement, the Original Agreement may be modified by an instrument in writing, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such modification is sought;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder wish to modify the Original Agreement by providing that the Holder will vote in favor of the Second Extension and will not exercise its Redemption Rights with respect to the Holder’s Shares in connection with the Second Extension and by extending the Company’s obligation to pay the Holder in cash $0.033 per Holder’s Share per month through the Second Extended Date and the Third Extended Date, if applicable; and

 

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Agreement.

1. Amendments to Original Agreement.

 

(a) Each reference to the “Extension” in sections 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the Original Agreement is hereby replaced with the term “Second Extension”.
